Chapter 17 Like Heaven and Earth
"This way, Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo." Uncle Wen, the housekeeper, smiled kindly all the way and led Huo Sili and Jiang Qin to the restaurant in the main building.
Jiang Qin looked around and saw two people already sitting at the table. Jiang Qin was familiar with these two people: Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen.
The old lady of the Wen family and the old lady of the Huo family were good friends, and Jiang Qin had met them quite a few times.
Elders should not be negligent in etiquette, so she put a smile on her face from a distance. When she was about to walk over there, she noticed the living room on the other side. She looked over and saw Wen Chen holding a book and telling Duoduo a story.
But Duoduo's eyes were obviously not on the book, but at her. The little girl's beautiful grape-like eyes were very bright, and she looked like she wanted to get off Wen Chen's legs, but was hugged by Wen Chen.
Recalling the situation during the previous business negotiation, Jiang Qin hurriedly tried to look away. Huo Sili, who had been walking behind her, suddenly took half a step forward and stood right beside her.
He was born tall and paid special attention to fitness after work. His body was strong and upright. Standing like this, he completely blocked her view of Duoduo.
Jiang Qin raised her eyes and glanced at Huo Sili in silence, then retracted her gaze and walked towards the dining table with a smile on her face.
Upon arrival, he politely greeted the two elders seated at their seats. The Wen family is a Kyoto aristocratic family, a typical family of scholars.
The two elderly people had kind faces and smiled warmly when they heard her greeting.
Especially Mrs. Wen. Perhaps because she was on good terms with Mrs. Huo, the old lady obviously took special care of her and smiled at her very lovingly, "Come, Qinqin, sit next to grandma."
The table is not a large round table like those in hotels, but an antique rosewood octagonal table, with long high stools made of the same material.
During the four years of her secret marriage with Huo Sili, Jiang Qin gained a lot of knowledge. She could tell at a glance that this set of tables and chairs was not an ordinary item and the price was definitely no less than seven figures. However, her first impression was not that it was expensive, but that it was warm.
When she was a child, there was an octagonal table in her grandmother's room. Of course, the material was not the expensive rosewood, but ordinary solid wood. That octagonal table carried many precious, sweet and warm memories of the time when she and her grandmother depended on each other.
Jiang Qin sat down obediently, and Huo Sili followed and sat on the other side of the bench. Wen Chen came over with Duoduo in his arms.
There was nothing too particular about it, and no unpleasant words were said. Grandpa Wen just said, "It's time to eat," and after we started eating, dinner began.
This surprised Jiang Qin a little, but after a moment, Jiang Qin suppressed the surprise that came to her mind.
"Si Li, Xiao Chen is the same age as you and already has a daughter. When do you plan to let your grandmother advance to a higher generation?"
The person who spoke was Mr. Wen, and Jiang Qin happened to pick up a piece of steaming tofu and put it into the bowl.
She habitually wanted to use chopsticks to cut the tofu into four small cubes of equal size to dissipate heat. When she heard this, she didn't use the chopsticks well and the tofu became crooked, forming four ugly cubes of different sizes.
Huo Sili glanced at Jiang Qin's bowl, then looked at Grandpa Wen with a polite smile on his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes, "Grandpa Wen, my grandma came to you to find help for her great-grandson?"
This.
Old Man Wen opened his mouth, but he didn't expect what to happen. Old Lady Wen glanced at Huo Sili, then looked at the old man with a smile, with a hint of resentment in her eyes.
"Alright, alright, let's eat. The food won't taste good if it gets cold."
Jiang Qin stared at the steaming tofu in the bowl and suddenly lost her appetite.
The one who was close to Old Lady Huo was Old Lady Wen, not Old Man Wen. Although she had only met the latter a few times, she, who did not like gossip, had heard of him, simply because Old Man Wen was a well-known henpecked husband among his peers in the Beijing circle.
The old couple were childhood sweethearts, and now they both have gray hair. They are an exceptionally sweet couple known to everyone in the Beijing circle. Although Mr. Wen knew that asking this question would be embarrassing, he still asked it.
The reason is obvious, he was asking on behalf of Old Lady Wen.
As for why Mrs. Wen cares about this, it is natural that Mrs. Huo, who is on good terms with her, wants to know.
In other words, Mrs. Huo, Huo Sili's grandmother and her great benefactor, actually always wanted to have a great-grandson.
But as for the question of when the old lady can have a great-grandson...
Undoubtedly, the answer is not so pleasant.
Because the fact is, it is impossible. After all, he has clearly warned her twice about the child.
They will not have children. Don't tell him she's pregnant.
Jiang Qin finished eating the tofu of different sizes in the bowl, looked at the remaining tofu dregs in the bowl, and thought of these two sentences. Although she had warned herself not to love him anymore, at this moment, she felt that her heart at the moment was really like the scene in the bowl.
It was broken into pieces, beyond all recognition.
But at this moment, Jiang Qin suddenly thought that it was not impossible - it was not impossible for Old Lady Huo to be promoted to a higher generation, but the person who gave birth to the child could not be her.
If it was Li Xueqin, Huo Sili would definitely be happy.
"Horsley."
On the way back to Yunhai Huafu, Jiang Qin thought of what she had thought of at the dinner table and called the man next to her.
I think it would be better to get divorced sooner rather than later. You and Li Xueqin should work hard so that the old lady can have a great-grandson sooner.
Huo Sili turned his head, his dark pupils expressionless, and motioned for her to speak. Jiang Qin opened her mouth.
Whatever I thought of, I didn't dare to say it out loud. My brain was working at high speed, and I changed my words, "No, I just wanted to ask, how long will it take? I forgot to change my sanitary napkin when I came out just now, and I feel a little uncomfortable."
Yes, when she asked for a divorce, Huo Sili clearly stated that the old lady's illness had recurred recently and that the divorce would have to wait until after the old lady's birthday party, and she agreed.
If she urges him now, she is not afraid of anything else but that this man will be unhappy, rebel and simply refuse to leave.
As a human being, you still have to know the current situation.
"It's almost there. It'll probably take about 20 minutes if there's no traffic jam." Horsley glanced out the window and replied.
Jiang Qin immediately responded, "Oh, then I'll bear with it..."
The conversation was interrupted. "Let's stop at the restaurant ahead." Horsley picked up the in-car communicator and said to the driver.
Jiang Qin: “…”
In front is a very high-end reservation-only restaurant.
There is also a chain of contempt among the rich. Jiang Qin has always known this, but she has never experienced it personally before. Today, thanks to Huo Sili, she also personally experienced what it means to "silently despise everyone present."
Most of the guests dining there were dressed in gorgeous and luxurious attire, with clothes printed with famous brand logos, designer bags on their seats, and dazzling jewelry made of large carats of colored gemstones. The diamond watches that occasionally appeared under the sleeves of the men's custom-made suits were very luxurious.
And she, wearing a simple business suit, hurried in, went straight to the bathroom, and came out the same way, walking straight to the door.
However, after Jiang Qin experienced this, some things became clearer.
The difference in status between her and Huo Sili is like the difference between heaven and earth.
The natural ending, perhaps, is to separate soon. He should marry Li Xueqin, who is a good match for him, and she should return to her original ordinary life.
After returning to Yunhai Mansion, Jiang Qin went upstairs to open the gift immediately.
The ticket Xie Youan grabbed is for next Saturday.
Jiang Qin found out the free time that she had marked out at Wen Family Manor and selected it, and finally confirmed the time.
She will go to the hospital for another check-up next Tuesday afternoon.
After making an appointment, Jiang Qin naturally started searching again when she thought of the dull pain in her abdomen today.
Suddenly, the door handle was pressed down!
