Chapter 60 Brother-in-law
After listening to Xu Qingsui's explanation, Lin Wan asked with concern, "What did the doctor say? When will it be healed?"
“It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Just take your time to recover.” Xu Qingsui lowered his eyes, skillfully hiding the sadness in them.
Soon she looked up again and asked, "How is my brother recovering? I can't go to see him directly because of my leg injury. I don't want him to worry. Don't tell him about my affairs when you go back."
Lin Wan nodded in understanding: "Don't worry, he's recovered well and can actually be discharged from the hospital, but the doctor said someone from above has told us to stay here with peace of mind. The hospital is full of professionals, so we can prevent the possibility of a relapse."
The person above?
When Xu Qingsui heard this, he immediately became uneasy. Was it an order from Huo Xilin or Yan Xisui?
Thinking of the warning Yan Xisui had just given him, Xu Qingsui felt as if he was being stared at by countless pairs of eyes.
It doesn't matter what happens to her, but her brother is her only relative in this world, and there must be no accidents.
"Since my brother has almost recovered, I want him to be discharged from the hospital. It happens that I have the property certificate of the small courtyard where we used to live. You can take my brother back and help me take care of him for a while." Xu Qingsui said to Lin Wan.
Lin Wan was surprised and asked, "Have you redeemed the old house?"
Xu Qingsui felt bitter, because it was not redeemed by her, but given to her by Huo Xilin.
"That's great! Brother Xu would be very happy if he knew. Now that he has recovered a lot, it's time for him to be discharged from the hospital. He has been hospitalized for a long time and almost every day he asks me when he can leave the hospital. Now he can finally get his wish." Lin Wan muttered happily.
Xu Qingsui called Aunt Wang and asked her to help bring the property certificate from the cabinet.
Soon Aunt Wang came with the cooked bone soup to take care of Xu Qingsui: "Miss Xu, I just heard from Mr. Huo that you hurt your leg. How could you be so careless?"
Aunt Wang said this worriedly, and took the property certificate out of her bag: "Ms. Xu, this is the property certificate you asked for. I brought it here."
“Thank you, Aunt Wang.” Xu Qingsui took the property certificate and handed it to Lin Wan: “I’ll trouble you with my brother’s matter.”
"We have been friends for many years, you don't have to be polite to me, and I am happy to take care of Brother Xu." Lin Wan held the property certificate in his hand: "I will come to see you after I arrange everything and take Brother Xu out of the hospital."
When Huo Xilin came back in the evening, Aunt Wang tactfully left the ward.
"I heard that you want to process the discharge procedures for your brother?" Huo Xilin thought of the call from the director of the convalescent department today, and couldn't help asking Xu Qingsui: "I have read your brother's examination report. Although he has recovered well, it would be better if he could stay for a while longer. Why do you suddenly want him to be discharged?"
Xu Qingsui is Xu Di's first guardian, and he needs her consent to be discharged from the hospital, so the hospital director also asked Xu Qingsui's opinion, and only after getting a positive answer did he call Huo Xilin.
Xu Qingsui did not tell Huo Xilin about Yan Xisui's threat to her. She said, "My brother has been in the hospital for too long. Now he is in good health. I hope he can be happier. He has told me many times that he wants to go home, so let him be discharged from the hospital."
Huo Xilin nodded. He had recently noticed that Xu Qingsui seemed to be in a bad mood, so he asked, "Do you want to go home too?"
Xu Qingsui looked up and asked, "Which home are you going back to?"
Huo Xilin smiled at her question and said, "Of course we go back to our home. Otherwise, how many homes do you have?"
Our home...
Xu Qingsui should have been moved by such heartwarming words, but unfortunately she felt like she was woken up by a basin of cold water.
Even their marriage is fake, how can their home be real?
Today it could be her and Huo Xilin’s home, and tomorrow it could be Yan Xisui and Huo Xilin’s home.
In Huo Xilin's expectant eyes, Xu Qingsui shook his head and said, "When my brother is discharged from the hospital, I want to go back to the small courtyard in the city center to live for a while. Is that okay?"
Huo Xilin didn't know what Xu Qingsui was really thinking, he just wanted to make her happy: "Okay."
"Thank you." Xu Qingsui said.
"Why are you suddenly so polite to me?" Every time she was polite, Huo Xilin would feel unhappy: "Since we are husband and wife, I should do anything for you, so you don't have to be polite to me."
Xu Qingsui opened her mouth and wanted to explain, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was unnecessary. She nodded and said, "Okay."
Three days later, Brother Xu had completed the discharge procedures, and Huo Xilin personally picked him up and sent him to a small courtyard in the city center.
Xu Di looked at the man in front of him and recognized him at a glance as the man who was standing in the corridor and talking to his sister.
"Are you my sister's good friend?" asked Xu Di.
"I'm your brother-in-law." Huo Xilin stated his identity directly.
Xu Di's eyes widened in surprise, and he wondered why his sister didn't tell him such a big thing.
"Is he my sister's boyfriend?" Xu Di asked again.
"We are a couple protected by the law. He's not boyfriend but her husband." Huo Xilin said naturally while moving things into the room.
Brother Xu stood there, unable to come back to his senses for a long time. Even Lin Wan, who knew the truth, was shocked.
"Is what he said true? My sister married him?" After a long while, Xu Di pointed at Huo Xilin who was busy moving things around and asked Lin Wan who was standing beside him.
Lin Wan felt guilty when asked and quickly denied it: "I don't know about this matter, but your sister and Mr. Huo do have close contacts, so they must have a good relationship."
"Sister..." Xu Di couldn't say it for a moment, and said awkwardly: "Hey, why didn't my sister come today?"
"Your sister is on a business trip, and she specifically asked me, your brother-in-law, to pick you up from the hospital and settle your future life." Huo Xilin finished moving the things: "Take a look, see if there is anything missing, I will buy it for you, and your sister will come back to live with you in a while."
Xu Di's eyes lit up immediately and he asked happily, "Really?"
He already had a good impression of Huo Xilin, and now seeing him busying around and caring about his sister, he felt even more satisfied.
"Brother-in-law, how did you and my sister know each other?"
Lin Wan's eyes went dark when he heard this name. This fool was bribed by the man named Huo so quickly.
If he knew that Huo Xilin and his sister had an arranged marriage, I wonder if he would still be happy now.
Huo Xilin raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "We are colleagues in the company and work together."
