Before the car arrived at the Lotus Hill Villa, Huo Qinian's cell phone rang.

He opened his cell phone and found the latest email with an attachment, which was the video he wanted.

Huo Qinian opened the video.

The video only had images, no sound, but the images that Huo Qinian was concerned about were included in it.

Huo Qinian fast-forwarded through the video from beginning to end, his eyes darkening.

It was her!

How could it be her?

Huo Qinian looked up and told the driver: "Turn to No. 76 Lanxi Garden."

The driver didn't ask any more questions and said yes. The

car turned around at the intersection and headed straight for Lanxi Garden.

Ten minutes later, Huo Qinian stood at the door of No. 76 Lanxi Garden Villa and took out his cell phone to dial.

The phone was picked up quickly.

Huo Qinian's voice was indistinguishable: "I'm at your door, come out."

Looking from a distance, the light in a window on the second floor of Villa No. 76 was on. Then, the light spread from the second floor to the first floor, and from inside the house to outside, as if relaying.

The door was opened, and Qu Qingyin, wearing pajamas and a coat, hurried out with just the right amount of surprise on her face: "It's so late, why are you here? Come in quickly, it's windy outside."

Huo Qinian did not move.

He raised his head and looked at Qu Qingyin with a heavy, particularly oppressive look.

Qu Qingyin was a little uneasy when she was looked at, but she still smiled: "What's wrong?"

Huo Qinian asked her: "This morning, no, it should be yesterday morning, why did you go to see Yunbai?"

Qu Qingyin was stunned, and seemed a little uneasy: "I heard that she was sick and hospitalized. I happened to be on a business trip to City B, so I went to see her. What's wrong?"

Qu Qingyin dared to go to Su Yunbai so openly, so she had naturally made preparations long ago.

She just went to see a sick person, that's all.

Huo Qinian put one hand in his pocket and said calmly, "Qingyin, we have known each other since childhood and have a good relationship. I don't want to end up losing our friendship because of some unpleasant things. I hope you think so too."

Qu Qingyin's face changed slightly, but she was still able to remain calm: "Qinian, what do you mean? Why don't I understand?"

Huo Qinian stared at her: "Don't try to lie to me! I should know my temper. If I wasn't really sure, do you think I would come to you?"

Qu Qingyin pursed her lips and didn't answer.

Huo Qinian's heart sank.

It was really her!

His tone suddenly became stern: "Why? I think I have never done anything wrong to you...but you stabbed me in the back like this?"

"Stab you in the back? No, I didn't! I was just helping you!" Qu Qingyin's eyes were a little anxious, "Qinian, aren't you dissatisfied with Su Yunbai's attitude and want to take the opportunity to make fun of her? I'm helping you!"

Huo Qinian frowned, "What crazy things are you talking about?! Why would I make fun of her?"

"What else?" Qu Qingyin's voice suddenly rose, "If you didn't want to make fun of her, why are you suddenly so concerned about her? Why did you suddenly take over the position of general manager of Leading Technology in person? Why do you stay by her side every day?

"You have been indifferent to her for three years since we got married. You have already signed the divorce agreement, and you are suddenly passionate about her... You don't want to have fun, do you? You can't be suddenly in love with her? This is too funny..."

Huo Qinian found these words particularly harsh, and his voice became even colder: "This is my business, don't worry about it. You just need to tell me what you said to her? I want to know all the details!"

His attitude was very tough, and his aura was like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, revealing a sense of ruthlessness that would not stop until the goal was achieved.

Qu Qingyin stared at Huo Qinian in a daze, as if she suddenly understood something.

Her tears fell one by one, "I don't understand, I really don't understand... What's so good about her? You are such a picky person, why are you suddenly so biased towards her? "

Huo Qinian frowned, a little impatient," just talk nicely, why are you crying? ! I just want to know why you said nonsense to Yun Bai and what you said to her. It's just a small thing, is it that difficult?"

Qu Qingyin's eyes were still on Huo Qinian.

Some people are really favored by God. Even if he frowned and looked cold, he still exuded a kind of impressive aura.

Qu Qingyin's inner defense finally collapsed: "You ask why... You actually asked me why! Qinian, after so many years, don't you really understand my feelings for you?

"I've been waiting for you for so many years... I love you!"

Huo Qinian was stunned and even took a step back subconsciously, "Impossible, don't joke with me like this. We had a tacit understanding when we were in high school, and we both thought that the other was not suitable...

"And don't you have a secret boyfriend? Didn't you say he has been waiting for you?"

"Then who do you think this so-called boyfriend is? It's you, it's always been you!" Qu Qingyin burst into tears.

A woman's mind is that she wants to see him jealous of her, but she is also afraid that he really thinks she has a partner.

How could he not understand this?

Huo Qinian really never thought of this possibility. Even now, he still thinks this matter is absurd.

"Wait a minute. "

Don't act like he's a treacherous man so quickly, okay? Doesn't he want fame?

Huo Qinian said seriously, "After the Fang family incident, my old man worried about nothing and went straight to your family, wanting to form a marriage alliance. What did your family say at the time?"

"'Qingyin is arrogant and can't handle the heavy responsibility. I'm afraid I'll let you down'... Have you forgotten that there is such a thing?"

Regardless of the truth or falsehood, he and Qu Qingyin were indeed very close in the past.

But they still didn't succeed.

Huo Qinian never felt that Qu Qingyin had any thoughts about him, and he didn't think much about it after this incident.

How come she suddenly acted like she was deeply in love with him?

Qu Qingyin's eyes flashed with anger, but she still insisted: "That was my father's idea. I don't know, I don't know!

" "Qinian, are you still blaming me for this? I know, you must think that our family is opportunistic... You have always looked down on such people..."

Huo Qinian frowned and said in a deep voice: "Don't rush to deny it, I am not blaming you. "

Marriage is not like an ordinary business cooperation. The woman will always suffer more than the man. This is the way of the world, and Huo Qinian can understand it.

Besides, the young lady of the Fang family is not ordinary crazy. Qu Qingyin has witnessed this kind of madness head-on, and it is normal for her to have concerns in her heart.

Taking a step back, it is human instinct to seek profit and avoid harm. There are many such people in the business circle of City A. One more Qu family is not much, and one less Qu family is not much. Although Huo Qinian is very annoyed by this kind of behavior, he can't ask everyone to be a moral role model, right?

He is not so overbearing.

Qu Qingyin's eyes gradually lit up when he heard this.

Huo Qinian said: "But in the same way, I have never thought that there will be any development with you. From the beginning, I just treated you as a childhood friend. In my opinion, you are the same as A Cheng and the others."

So if she is "in trouble", as a good friend, he will support her.

As for more... he believes that he has never done anything to make her misunderstand.

"Same as Ji Cheng?" Qu Qingyin couldn't help but take two steps back, with disbelief on her face, "I don't believe it. How is it possible? If you just treat me as a childhood friend, why do you do so many things that will cause misunderstandings?

"You never liked me, why are you being ambiguous with me? Why are you so nice to me? Why do you keep so little distance from me in various occasions?"

Huo Qinian frowned even more tightly, "First, you should understand the logic of the matter. Let me remind you, it was you who came to me first, saying that your stepmother and your father wanted to interfere in your marriage, and you were isolated and helpless, and asked if I could cooperate with you so that they would not dare to act rashly...

"Back in City B, you suffered an unprovoked disaster at the Fang family. I remember your kindness. I'm returning the favor, so I'll make it easy for you.

"I've made this matter very clear to you from the beginning!"

Huo Qinian paused when he said this.

He believed that he never had any other intentions towards Qu Qingyin, so he gave some face casually, because he believed that they were open and honest with each other and there was nothing to hide.

But if...if even Qu Qingyin herself misunderstood, what about Yun Bai?

"I'm not referring to this!" Qu Qingyin looked at Huo Qinian, "I'm referring to the four years I spent abroad. If you had no thoughts about me, why were you so good to me? You even chose my school and my major.

"Qinian, this is not what ordinary friends should do."

"I told you very clearly! When we were in City B, you drove to pick me up...Miss Fang misunderstood and was very hostile to you. I said I would send you abroad, and you agreed.

"But it happened suddenly. You were panicked and at a loss. You didn't even have a clear plan for studying abroad...

"I felt that you were implicated by me, so I helped you find a school and a major, and paid attention to accommodation conditions... I have done my best, is it possible that I am wrong?"

"Then what happened later? Later, I just called you and you came to see me..."

Huo Qinian frowned and thought for a long time, finally remembered what she was talking about, and his tone was a little unbelievable: "Are you talking about you crying on the phone because no one was with you for the holidays in a foreign country, and that a foreigner was always harassing you?

"You had a breakdown at the time, and you cried so hard on the phone. I was about to go on a business trip to Europe... I brought my assistants with me. Did you forget about them?"

"Then I can't learn legal knowledge, so I called you..."

"I also handed it over to my assistants. They are handling it. Don't look at me like that. I paid them so much salary, so what if they help me deal with some personal matters?"

Huo Qinian was a little impatient.

Why did he have to explain this to Qu Qingyin one by one here? Su Yunbai never asked him to do this.

Yes, Su Yunbai has never been straightforward, he just buryes his head in his own work. There are some things that even if she wants to understand clearly in her heart, she still insists on saving face and refuses to speak.

This is not good either, it is better to get to the bottom of it.

Qu Qingyin still didn't give up, "Then every year on my birthday, you ordered a cake and sent me flowers... Every time there is a festival, I will receive a gift from you..."

Huo Qinian was about to stop him, but his face slowly changed.

No. Ordering cakes, sending flowers and gifts?

He has never done these things.

Qu Qingyin understood the change in his expression, and her eyes lit up as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw: "You remember it, don't you? You still remember it, don't you? I still have the photos."

She sobbed, "I'm not being self-indulgent, it was obviously you who sent me the signal first..."

Huo Qinian took a deep breath, "Where are the photos?"

Qu Qingyin looked up at him, her eyes blurred with tears.

Huo Qinian said: "Whether you believe it or not, I have never done these things.

"But I will find out clearly.

"Now, give me the photo, and tell me what you said to Yunbai yesterday morning."

He looked at Qu Qingyin, was silent for a while, and then said: "Qingyin, even if we can't be friends in the future, I still hope that at least we can part ways in peace."

What a good way to part ways in peace!

Qu Qingyin looked at Huo Qinian like this, and felt a chill in her heart.

She had always heard about Huo Qinian's cruelty. But it turned out that such cruelty would be so chilling to the heart when it fell on herself.

Qu Qingyin closed her eyes, as if she had lost all her strength at once.

How did Su Yunbai feel when he was forced to apologize to her at the Huangliang Meimeng Club? Now she finally understood a little bit.

What goes around comes around.

People really can't do things that hurt their conscience.

Qu Qingyin took a deep breath, but her voice was still dull: "I told her two things in total. You already know the first thing. I actually asked you all of them just now.

"The second thing... I told her that you would marry her because of the Fang family."

Huo Qinian's face turned stern.

Qu Qingyin thought it was funny, and she really laughed, "My business... just assume that I have been self-indulgent from the beginning to the end. I am willing to degrade myself by flirting with a married man, and it is my own fault... I admit it! "

But I don't think I have exaggerated the Fang family's affairs.

"Qinian, I actually want to ask you, why are you so angry? What is your position to accuse me now? Did I say something wrong?"

Huo Qinian avoided the question.

He looked at Qu Qingyin and said in a cold voice: "You were implicated by me back then, and I owe you a favor. I gave you convenience in the past six months since you returned to China, and I never even clarified it to the outside world...

"We are clear of our affairs. From now on, I will no longer care about your affairs. "

He said, turning around and trying to leave.

"Wait," Qu Qingyin stopped him, "I know your temper... After we talk about these things, we can't be friends anymore. Just consider it my last confusion, I also want to die clearly--

"Qinian, you have been in the world of fame and fortune for so long, can you really distinguish between pretending and treating each other sincerely?

"To Su Yunbai, have you finally seen through your own heart, or are you just unwilling to do so?"

Huo Qinian paused, his expression expressionless, "This is my business, don't bother you. "

After saying that, he turned and left.

In the night, he was tall, and his steps were very steady when he turned and left, as if nothing could shake his mind.

Was he going to present the facts and reason with Su Yunbai?

But did he know what kind of person Su Yunbai was at heart?

How likely was it that someone who could be so cruel to her would change his mind because of a few words from him?

This time, Qu Qingyin really hoped that Su Yunbai could be tough to the end. It had nothing to do with jealousy or ill intentions, but...how could he be so high and mighty from beginning to end, and trample on other people's sincerity like this!

She was also an ordinary person, she was also... He would not be willing to accept it.

Huo Qinian left Lanxi Garden and drove straight to Lotus Mountain.

It was late at night, but he had made a mess of all the people who might be related to this matter.

He has always had some relatives who like to make their own decisions, especially his aunt. How much they have held him back!

He could ignore the things in the past, but this time, he wanted to make the responsibility clear to individuals - no one could put the blame on him if it was not something he had done before.

Especially Su Yunbai. She always liked to make people blame each other, but this time, he refused to admit it no matter what he said.
