Chapter 113 Favor
Will he answer the phone? Probably.
Jiang Qin paused for half a second, resolutely turned her head away and closed her eyes.
That’s right, if you don’t like him anymore, why do you still care whether he answers Bai Yueguang’s call?
However, the reality was the opposite of what Jiang Qin expected.
Horsley's slender fingers did not pause in the air, and he almost directly pressed the red button to hang up.
He put the phone back and continued to stroke her hair gently, using the most gentle and soothing gesture.
Jiang Qin was stunned for a moment, thinking that she was dizzy and had hallucinations and lost her hearing.
However, he soon confirmed that it was not his fault, but it was indeed Horsley who hung up the phone.
His voice was gentle as she hadn’t heard in a long time: “Qinqin, I didn’t answer the phone.”
Jiang Qin's heart paused slightly, but she didn't open her eyes at all.
That was true. He didn't answer Li Xueqin's call in front of her this time.
That only means that he didn't answer this time, that's all.
Still feeling dizzy, Jiang Qin really didn't want to bother with the twists and turns between Huo Sili and Li Xueqin.
In short, she must divorce him.
Even if the king of heaven comes, he will have to leave.
…
Traffic jams are common during lunch time on weekdays, so after lunch, the two decided to set off later.
After all, if you drive on the road at this time, you will most likely be stuck in traffic for dozens of minutes. It’s better to rest here and start later. If you are lucky, you may be able to have a smooth journey. Even if you are not so lucky, the traffic jam will not be as bad as during rush hour.
But it was boring to stay in the ward like this. Of course, the main reason was that after lunch, Jiang Qin's dizziness symptoms basically disappeared.
My overall mental state is much better, but when a person is in a good mood, it is inevitable that it will be boring to do nothing.
Especially hospitals, even this private hospital, has that smell of disinfectant that she really dislikes.
The smell easily reminded Jiang Qin of the time when she was five years old and had to be hospitalized for the first time because of a knife wound. She remembered how several medical staff lamented in front of her that her father was a beast for injuring his daughter who was about to turn five but was not yet fully five.
She also said that it was a good thing the other party had been drinking and his strength was unstable, and the knife was probably blunt, otherwise her entire arm would have been chopped off.
As he spoke, he looked at her with a look of great pity, then shook his head and sighed.
In addition, when Jiang Qin smelled this smell, she inevitably thought of the time when her grandmother Xiao Yuxiu was sick. She was in college at the time and took leave to stay by her bedside all day and all night, and finally, the scene when she saw her grandmother off.
All in all, it was not a beautiful picture, and whenever she thought of it, she felt empty and uncomfortable inside.
Now that she was no longer dizzy, Jiang Qin really didn't want to stay in this ward any longer.
No one knew where Horsley had gone. He told her he had something to do and asked a young female nurse to accompany him. He left the ward ten minutes ago and asked someone to clear away the dishes before leaving.
The weather was fine. After lunch, the sun was shining brightly, making people feel warm.
Jiang Qin was sure that she really wanted to go out for a walk, so she told the nurse her idea without hesitation.
The female nurse was very considerate and immediately introduced the layout of the hospital to her, and then said.
"Mrs. Huo, if you want to go out and breathe some fresh air, why don't we go directly to the health care center? There are many plants there, well-maintained, and many flowers. You will be happy looking at them. It's not far away, about a ten-minute walk from here."
Jiang Qin had no objection, as long as she didn't have to stay here, anywhere would be fine.
But I didn't expect that when I arrived at the health care center, I would see a familiar figure from afar, and someone who was not too familiar but definitely not a stranger.
It was Huo Sili and Lu Xiuyuan.
The two brothers were chatting about something while walking slowly on the path between the magnolia trees in front.
Jiang Qin didn't want to meet the two of them, so when she saw this, she almost immediately walked to the other side.
However, as soon as he turned around, the two men turned around at the same time as if they had eyes on their backs.
Then, one of them raised his eyebrows slightly, and the other's expression returned to calm.
She was clearly just here for a walk, but at that moment, Jiang Qin inexplicably felt as if she had come here on purpose to listen to their conversation.
Jiang Qin didn't know why, anyway, she subconsciously explained: "I came here for a walk."
But before she could finish her words, Horsley was already striding towards her on the path over there.
"Are you not dizzy anymore?" He stopped in front of her and asked in a concerned tone.
As he spoke, he leaned forward slightly, his eyes no longer looking at her darkly, and he reached out his hand and touched her forehead naturally again.
"It's not as cold as before." He said to himself.
Jiang Qin paused for a moment before she reacted, but before she could open her mouth to say anything, Huo Sili glanced at the female nurse following her.
"You go back, I'll accompany you."
The female nurse glanced quickly between the two of them and her face turned red.
Affectionate and domineering president, a cool and aloof beauty, this, this, this... these are things you only see in novels. She never expected that she would encounter them in real life one day! !
The female nurse quickly responded with a "OK" and trotted away.
Lu Xiuyuan glanced at the employees who were leaving quickly, and then looked at the couple in front of him who were quite affectionate. Of course, he was not sure whether he had misunderstood the atmosphere between the two.
But perhaps, I misunderstood.
"I don't need you to accompany me. You can continue chatting with Mr. Lu. I can just walk around by myself."
In front, Jiang Qin said this in a cold voice without lowering her voice, then turned around and left.
It was so fast that Lu Xiuyuan clearly saw Huo Sili reaching out to hold Jiang Qin's hand, but he was one step too late.
Lu Xiuyuan: “…” His brother’s hand speed.
Tsk.
Still, you need to practice!
The woman's figure disappeared into the bushes ahead.
Except for an old lady, the sanatorium is not accepting anyone else for the time being. It is very safe here.
Therefore, in this situation, Horsley did not continue to follow and cause trouble.
As he walked back, the man's face became noticeably colder.
However, Lu Xiuyuan pretended not to see it and continued talking about the previous topic, but his voice was obviously lowered.
"The man last time was confirmed to be mentally ill, but he must have been driven crazy by something that happened to him later. My people found a place based on what he said later. We went there yesterday and the place was still there. We found something there."
As Lu Xiuyuan spoke, his expression became visibly serious. He opened the photo album on his phone and handed the phone to Huo Sili.
"I've brought the originals back to my place. I'll send them to you after I've sorted them out. These are some photos they took on the spot. Take a look at them first. Do they look like you when you were a kid?"
Huo Sili took it, took a look at it, and raised his eyebrows.
When Lu Xiuyuan saw Huo Sili's expression, he naturally knew that the other party felt the same way.
He raised his hand and patted Horsley on the shoulder, "It seems that your family has hidden a lot of things."
"Brother, I feel sorry for you for a second, but it shouldn't be difficult to investigate this matter. I'll have them keep an eye on that person and contact you immediately if there's any news."
…
On the way to the Chinese medicine clinic, Jiang Qin remembered something important.
After getting on the car, she had never even looked at him, but now she turned around and looked at me.
"Where did you hide my phone?"
After thinking for a while, he said, "My condition is so bad, are you going to lock me up with that lock ring next?"
However, Horsley didn't know what he was thinking and ignored her.
It seemed to be the first time that his attention was distracted while she was talking.
When Jiang Qin realized this, she didn't know what she felt in her heart, but it was definitely not comfortable.
"Horsley!"
Horsley seemed to finally come back to his senses: "What?"
Jiang Qin: “…”
Jiang Qin was about to repeat herself, but Huo Sili spoke first.
"Cellphone? I don't have one. You are not allowed to go anywhere except Yunhai Huafu recently."
You are not allowed to go anywhere else.
Why does he keep her locked up like this?
Jiang Qin opened her mouth and wanted to argue with Huo Sili.
But before he could finish his argument, Horsley approached him first.
His inky black eyes looked deeply into her. Jiang Qin was now very resistant to his approach and almost subconsciously retreated to the other side of the seat, trying to distance herself from him.
But the behavior was curbed, and his arms were strong and powerful, and he stretched out to hug her.
The distance between the two people was forced to shorten, and the light woody scent suddenly became stronger.
Jiang Qin's pupils shrank slightly, and she put her hands in front of her to prevent him from getting any closer.
Huo Sili leaned down with his tall body, ignoring her resistance, staring at her with his black pupils, and said three words with more deterrent power than any other time before, "You are not allowed to go."
And Jiang Qin was also angrier than ever.
Bang——!
She was so angry that her eyes turned red, and she raised her hand and slapped him hard on the chest.
The force was so great that her entire palm went numb.
But Horsley just frowned slightly, then kept his expression unchanged and repeated what he had said before.
"It's no use beating me. Qinqin, stay at home these days. I'll take you out again when we return to the old house on the weekend."
Today is Thursday, and it's Friday and Saturday. According to him, he still wants to lock her up for two days?
Jiang Qin couldn't believe it and felt it was totally unreasonable - who was he? Who is she?
Is she a prisoner or a slave? Do you want chains on your feet? !
"Horsley! You are breaking the law!"
Jiang Qin was really a little overwhelmed. After all, according to his logic, if she didn't obey, he would treat her like this.
So what next? This kind of thing is like domestic violence, there are only zero times and countless times, Jiang Qin must put an end to it!
But the reality proves that God sometimes favors her.
As soon as the car stopped in front of the Chinese medicine clinic, the old lady called.
"Si Li, what's going on? What happened to Qin Qin? I called her several times, but her phone was always turned off! Where are you? Are you and Qin Qin together?"
Huo Sili's eyes darkened, Jiang Qin's eyes moistened, and she almost immediately leaned over and shouted, "Grandma!"
