Chapter 160 A Dagger in the Heart
The golden-red wine swayed in the cold crystal glass. Horsley stared at the wine in the glass without saying a word, as if he was in a daze.
When Lu Xiuyuan hesitated and wanted to say something, he suddenly saw Huo Sili pick up the wine glass and drink it all in one gulp.
Bang!
The wine glass was placed back on the table, making a clear, ringing sound.
"No." Lu Xiuyuan was shocked. "What are you doing?"
His eyes fell on the wine glass that Horsley had let go of on the table. He reached out to take the glass, looked at the bottom carefully, and let out a breath.
"Tsk, luckily this is of good quality. If you changed it to a more ordinary crystal cup, it would have definitely cracked and pricked your hand."
Huo Sili had a blank expression on his face, his eyes were dark, and he was staring at some unknown place in the void. He seemed not to hear the voice of Lu Xiuyuan speaking beside him.
Lu Xiuyuan looked at Huo Sili, shook his head and sighed softly, then picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip. Two seconds later, he looked over again and saw Huo Sili's obviously absent-minded expression.
I felt a little sad all of a sudden, "No, you were talking about you and Mrs. Huo, how..." How did you end up like this?
He didn't dare to finish his words - the moment the three words "Mrs. Huo" popped out, Huo Sili glanced at him with his black pupils, and the emotion in his eyes made even Lu Xiuyuan feel a little scared.
Lu Xiuyuan nodded, picked up the wine glass and took another sip, then changed the subject.
"Okay, I won't talk about you two, or anything else, but that thing."
Lu Xiuyuan looked back at Huo Sili, "I still have to say one more thing - you'd better not drink now. You can't control your strength. If you are not careful, I might get stabbed in your hand. I will have to work overtime in the middle of the night to bandage you."
"Also, seeing your condition, brother, I sincerely suggest that you just go to bed, huh?"
At this point, Lu Xiuyuan couldn't hold it back any longer, but this time he didn't mention the three words "Mrs. Huo". Instead, he just said it directly, trying to say something nice and heartwarming.
"I don't know what's going on between you and your wife, but maybe it will be fine tomorrow? You're 28 years old, you should be more open-minded when things happen. Husband and wife quarrel, and they make up at the end of the night. Why go out and get drunk so late at night?"
But obviously, these words did not comfort Horsley at all, but instead stabbed him in the heart.
Twenty-eight years old.
Huo Sili twitched his thin lips slightly, and suddenly, his tall and strong body stood up from his seat.
Shrouded in a shadow, the movement was too abrupt.
"Hey, where are you going?!" Lu Xiuyuan was inexplicably frightened by Huo Sili again, and when he came to his senses, he quickly stood up.
Horsley walked out, saying in a neutral tone, "Go to sleep."
Lu Xiuyuan: “…” Tsk, even though his opinion was adopted, why does it still make me feel inexplicably uncomfortable?
But unfortunately, it was the eldest brother who had emotional problems. Although Lu Xiuyuan felt bad, he was still a little worried.
"Where are you going to sleep? Don't rush to Yunhai Huafu, otherwise you won't be able to explain yourself and the misunderstanding between you two will only deepen."
Horsley's back disappeared faster and faster.
Lu Xiuyuan noticed it, opened his mouth silently and then closed it again. Well, I'll just take advantage of his good temper and mess with him!
"Don't be stubborn. If something happens to you, I won't be able to explain it to the outside world. Wait for me. You just drank some wine. I'll take you there!"
Lu Xiuyuan followed him into the elevator and said seriously, "Where are you going back to?"
Horsley: "Southern suburbs."
After saying that, he seemed to remember something and turned to look at Lu Xiuyuan, "Where's my phone?"
Lu Xiuyuan took out his cell phone from his pocket and handed it over. He thought that Huo Sili might have risked his life to save him in his previous life, otherwise how could he stay up late at night to be an emotional mentor for a stinky man in this life?
"I'm warning you. I'm returning your phone to you, but you can't turn off the flight mode. The continent you're going to is still in daylight saving time. The time difference is twelve hours now. You lied to her about when you were going to board the plane. Calculate the time yourself and turn off the flight mode when the time comes."
Horsley put the phone back into his inner pocket. It was not known whether he heard what was said, but he did say "hmm".
It was just that tone that made Lu Xiuyuan think with a sad heart - it was so bland that it could wash away the flavor of the pickled vegetables that had been pickled for decades!
…
At the same time, in Yunhai Mansion, the master bedroom.
For the first time during her pregnancy, Jiang Qin tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep. She wasn't feeling nervous like she had the night before the pregnancy checkup, but she just couldn't fall asleep.
Her eyes were sleepy, but her mind was unusually clear - she tried to control herself from thinking about the divorce agreement, but somehow her brain was automatically playing a slide show, and the fields that she had previously marked on the divorce agreement kept appearing in her mind.
Those fields that she didn't agree with flashed through her mind again and again.
Like a candle flame that flickers in the wind and may go out at any time, but has not yet gone out.
Swaying, dim and light, hazy and disturbing, it's like the beginning of a horror movie.
Jiang Qin, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed and trying to empty herself again to fall asleep, frowned and simply opened her eyes.
My eyes have adapted to the darkness, and I can see everything around me clearly in this night-filled room.
Jiang Qin sat up and leaned against the head of the bed. After hesitating for a moment, she finally turned on the bedside lamp and her cell phone.
But when she opened it, she found that the time was still relatively early for her since she had never been pregnant before.
It's not even ten o'clock yet - before she got pregnant, she might sometimes still be busy working at this time.
The phone was unlocked and there was no reply to the message she sent. Huo Sili did not say where he was going on business, but judging from this, he was probably still on the plane, otherwise he would have replied to her message.
I remembered what the doctor and the old doctor had told me before, that I should think less and keep a good mood.
Jiang Qin forced herself not to think too much. Just at this moment, after turning on the phone, several WeChat messages received when the phone was turned off popped up in the status bar at the top of the screen.
There were several avatars. Jiang Qin saw Su Lejia's and quickly pulled down the status bar.
Then he was slightly stunned, and his eyes lit up.
I entered WeChat and replied one by one. Of course, the first one to reply was Su Lejia.
"Baby, it's your birthday tomorrow. Are you still going to work tomorrow? Anyway, I'm free all day whether you go to work or not. I've given myself a day off to spend your birthday with you! The gifts are all ready!"

"Oh, by the way, where are you living now, Bao? Is it still that villa? Or Yunhai Mansion?"
"Oh yeah, you should be asleep now. Well, I'll take a shower and get ready to go to bed. Good night and sweet dreams. Please reply to me tomorrow when you see me. If you haven't slept yet, go to bed early. Good night, good night."
Jiang Qin looked at the time. Coincidentally, Su Lejia sent the message just one minute ago.
I guess he's looking for a change of clothes right now.
Jiang Qin thought about it and didn't reply at this time. If she replied, Su Lejia would probably worry.
After all, she would have gone to bed at this time in the past.
I also read the messages sent by Xie Zhiya and Song Xinye.
They were all messages wishing her a happy birthday in advance and preparing gifts for her.
Song Xinye mentioned that he was recently in Shenzhen discussing business, and Shenzhen jewelry was very famous. He asked her if she had any jewelry she liked. If not, he would pick out the ones he liked and send them to her.
This means that the gift must be given to her no matter what.
Jiang Qin raised her eyebrows slightly and was amused when she saw that.
However, after a slight pause, thinking about what Su Lejia had said before, Jiang Qin finally did not reply so late at night, and planned to reply tomorrow morning.
As we grow up, there are differences between men and women. It is always good to keep some distance, whether offline or online.
And I don’t know if it’s because of the comfort of friendship or simply because of looking at the phone, but my eyes are more tired.
After Jiang Qin turned off the phone again, her disturbed mind seemed to return to normal. Not long after she lay down, she fell into a deep sleep.
When I opened my eyes again and drew back the curtains, it was already bright outside. It was already half past eight.
After washing up and going downstairs, there was a steaming meal on the dining table. As soon as I sat down, Aunt Wang happily brought over a tray of steaming animal buns.
"Madam, these are your favorite little animal buns! I don't have to go to work today, so take your time and eat more!"
"Okay, thank you, Aunt Wang." Jiang Qin smiled back.
While eating breakfast, Jiang Qin replied to the WeChat message she received last night.
After replying to the WeChat message, I thought of that message, clicked it and saw that Huo Sili had actually replied to the message, and my brows slightly frowned.
It’s been so long and you haven’t gotten off the plane yet?
Or, do you start to get busy as soon as you get off the plane?
The delicious breakfast in the bowl tasted a little different in my mouth, and the feeling of depression came to my mind again.
Jiang Qin picked up the phone and wanted to contact He Xu, but paused.
That's right. If Huo Sili didn't reply, He Xu would be on the plane just like him. Even if he got off the plane, Huo Sili was so busy, and He Xu would be even busier. If he contacted him for personal matters at this time, wouldn't that just cause trouble for him?
Let's wait a moment.
He will definitely reply when he is done with his work.
It also reminded me of my previous transatlantic business trips, when I was often busy as soon as the plane landed.
In the end, Jiang Qin did not send a message to ask He Xu, nor did she send another message to urge Huo Sili.
But she never expected that this wait would last day after day!
Her birthday was on Wednesday, and in the blink of an eye, tomorrow was Sunday.
