Chapter 309 Not as simple as it seems When Jiang Si said this, her tone was very light, as if she was mentioning an insignificant person.
There was a noticeable silence on the other end of the phone for a moment. Even without seeing it with her own eyes, Jiang Si could guess it.
Someone's mind must be in a mess at this moment.
Sure enough, when he spoke again, Huo Tingzhou's voice was obviously much lower.
He didn't ask when Qin Shian came.
I didn't ask him what he came here for.
Instead, he keenly grasped the most crucial point, "He went to see you?"
Jiang Si did not deny it, but tried to explain the cause and effect of the matter from a neutral perspective.
"He bought the courtyard house I had my eye on a few days ago. When he came to apologize this afternoon, he recognized my third uncle."
"My third uncle invited him to have a simple meal in the evening, and he just left."
After hearing this, Huo Tingzhou fell silent again.
"Don't you have anything to say?" Jiang Si waited for a long time, and seeing that he didn't say anything, she couldn't help but ask.
"Not really." Huo Tingzhou admitted that his emotions did fluctuate when he heard that this person had come to the country.
But after hearing what Jiang Si said, all that was left in his heart was worry.
A combination can be said to be a combination.
When so many combinations are put together, they are no longer combinations.
It's a careful human calculation!
Was the other party after the person? Or was he after something else? Huo Tingzhou couldn't be sure yet.
"Did he say anything else besides apologizing and reminiscing about the past?"
"No." Jiang Si thought about it carefully.
She can no longer remember clearly what happened during her childhood.
There were many things that she only knew after her third uncle told her.
"His personality seems to have changed a lot. He speaks less and has become much more stable."
"He didn't talk much about his family, only saying he was here for work and would be staying for about two years."
After a pause, Jiang Si added, "I feel like things aren't that simple."
Huo Tingzhou was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "Is he still as fat as before?"
Jiang Si was taken aback by the question, then laughed, "Not really. He's tall and thin now, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and looks very gentle."
"Oh." Huo Tingzhou responded.
She didn't know if it was Jiang Si's illusion, but she always felt that Huo Tingzhou's "Oh" sounded a little distracted.
Jiang Si could imagine his expression at this moment.
So I couldn't help but tease him again, "He is so elegant and polite now..."
However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Huo Tingzhou's sigh.
"young married woman--"
"Okay, okay, I won't joke with you anymore."
Jiang Si knew when to stop and her tone became serious.
"I know he approached me on purpose, but..."
"Just what?" Huo Tingzhou asked.
"I can't really say."
After listening to her, Huo Tingzhou did not urge her, but gave her enough space to think.
She waited for a long time, until the phone cord in her hand was almost tangled up by her.
Jiang Sicai spoke thoughtfully, "Do you feel that he is very strange?"
"strangeness?"
"Yes, it's strange."
Jiang Si pursed her lips and continued speaking along her own lines.
"If I were him, I wouldn't have come to apologize today, at least not today."
"Anyway, the two courtyards are just across the street, so it's easy to bump into each other when you go to the vegetable market or go shopping."
In other words, he clearly had a better way.
But he chose the one that would expose himself most easily.
After a pause, Jiang Si continued, "He brought quite a few pastries with him today."
Now that she had said it, she might as well be more straightforward.
“Those pastries are basically what I like to eat, but those shops are a bit far away.”
"Normally I'm too lazy to travel so far, but he actually bought everything at once."
Huo Tingzhou didn't expect Qin Shian to be so attentive.
The problem is not here.
Anyone who saw those cakes could tell that they were specially prepared by him.
Is it possible that Qin Shian himself doesn't know?
Yes, that’s where the problem lies!
Jiang Si only realized it on the way here.
It was true that Qin Shian was trying to get close to her on purpose, but his deliberateness was full of loopholes.
That's why Jiang Si was very confused about this.
She always felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.
Thinking about this, Jiang Si lowered her voice and said another sentence.
"I've already told my dad about this. He said he'd send someone to investigate his experiences abroad over the years."
"Yeah." Even if she didn't say this, Huo Tingzhou originally wanted to do this.
But he was still worried. "The investigation will take time. You must be more cautious when you go out during this period. Never go out alone."
Jiang Si nodded.
After realizing that he couldn't see it, he smiled and said, "I know, don't worry."
I wanted to say a few more words, but a sudden knock on the door woke up the two little guys.
I saw my mom holding the receiver.
Sui Sui and Zhao Zhao crawled towards her with their thick little legs as if it was a conditioned reflex.
“It seems like someone is coming.”
The knock on the door seemed urgent, so Jiang Si said quickly, "Sui Sui and Zhao Zhao are awake now. Let's leave it at that for now. I won't talk to you anymore."
Huo Tingzhou hummed, then said, "Take good care of yourself. I'll be back at the end of the month."
The problem with long-distance calls is that over time, crosstalk can occur in the receiver.
With the two little guys making trouble, Jiang Si didn't hear his last words at all.
"What did you say? Hello~Hello~"
Jiang Si called several times, but there was no response from the other end. The line was filled with crackling sounds of electricity, so she had no choice but to hang up.
Listening to the beeping of the phone, Huo Tingzhou felt melancholy.
Perhaps Qin Shian's sudden appearance disrupted his thoughts.
That night, Huo Tingzhou, who had always had a very regular schedule, completely suffered from insomnia.
