Chapter 23 Madam...Mr. is waiting for you inside
Zhou Fu was Mrs. Huo's man, so he naturally knew something about Huo Sili and Jiang Qin's affairs.
He was a little surprised to hear that, but more relieved and happy, his eyes lit up and he quickly agreed.
The elevator went directly to the basement floor and Huo Sili got in. A few minutes later, Wang Ma from Yunhai Huafu saw the caller ID and was shocked as if she saw the sun rising in the west.
"Sir? You're looking for me?"
Huo Sili's voice was quite calm: "Well, I'll go home to eat tonight. You and Aunt Liu prepare a meal for two."
After a brief pause, he added, "The dishes should be light and not greasy. Steam or blanch the meat dishes as much as possible. Make more refreshing vegetarian dishes. Don't make too many dishes or go too fancy. Just cook them homely. Prepare some fruit juice to relieve the greasiness. Keep it at room temperature without ice."
After hearing such detailed instructions, Aunt Wang was completely stunned.
But he quickly realized that it was the old lady who took action, so he went to talk to the two of them.
As an informant, Aunt Wang felt a little guilty, but then she thought, well, no matter what, the living conditions of the husband and wife could have changed. Even if they couldn't return to the sweetness they had a year ago, it was still a good thing.
Take it slow, maybe we can go back to the time a year ago? Everything is possible!
Thinking of this, Wang Ma happily agreed, "Oh, OK! OK! Then, sir, what time will you and your wife come back? I can find the right time to cook and squeeze juice so that it will be just right for you and your wife to eat when you come back. The juice will become stale if it is left out for too long."
"I'll be there around seven, she estimates it'll be half past seven, juice, you can prepare it later," said Horsley.
It turns out that sometimes, Huo Sili and Jiang Qin really understand each other's behavior very well.
At 6:40 in the evening, in the apartment building where Su Lejia lives.
Jiang Qin finished eating the green lettuce she had just picked up from the soup pot, looked at the time, and took a napkin to wipe her mouth.
Su Lejia was slightly surprised when she saw her movements, and was obviously reluctant to leave. "What's going on? Are you ready to leave?"
Su Lejia signaled her to look into the pot, "You spent money to buy these beef, shrimp balls, and meatballs, you don't want to eat them?"
Jiang Qin said apologetically, "Well, I have to go back. I just told you that the old lady wants to video call me."
Su Lejia was a little unhappy, "But isn't that eight o'clock? This, it's not even seven o'clock yet! Why are you going back so early? It only takes about 40 minutes from here to your place, even with the traffic jam."
Su Lejia calculated and pouted even more, "If you leave now, wouldn't you arrive around 7:30?"
Jiang Qin looked down at the two steaming pots bubbling on the table, and was obviously a little embarrassed.
But she obviously didn't intend to change this decision, so she suggested, "How about Lele, ask Zhou Junxuan to come over?"
Zhou Junxuan is Su Lejia's boyfriend and also their common high school classmate. He has a very good relationship with Su Lejia.
But after hearing this, Jiang Qin realized that Zhou Junxuan was on a business trip recently and was not in Beijing. After Su Lejia finished talking about Zhou Junxuan, she finally glanced at Jiang Qin, snorted, and finally said nothing about Jiang Qin's decision to leave now.
She knew how important the old lady was in Jiang Qin's heart. Jiang Qin was determined to leave, and she couldn't really leave her best friend here.
"Forget it, forget it. I'll take you there. You're not in good health at this late hour, and I'm worried about you riding in someone else's car." Su Lejia said, and got up to get the car keys.
Knowing that Su Lejia is a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart, Jiang Qin couldn't help but feel warm in her heart when she saw this. She couldn't help but follow her, hugged Su Lejia, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Lele."
Su Lejia turned around, gently touched Jiang Qin's head, looked into Jiang Qin's eyes and said seriously: "Okay, no matter what decision you make, Qinqin, you must remember that you still have me. When the child is born, I will be the child's godmother."
"So, I will naturally have to do my part in protecting the child from now on. Don't be afraid. If anything happens, contact me immediately." As he spoke, his voice became intentionally lively.
"Sister, I have plenty of strength and means!"
Jiang Qin naturally saw that Su Lejia was teasing her on purpose, and the corners of her lips rose in response, "Well! Our Lele has plenty of strength and means!"
Yunhai Huafu, first floor restaurant.
The minute hand of the cream-colored white wall clock moved, and the time came to seven twenty-eight in the evening.
Horsley sat in front of a dining chair with a mobile phone holder at hand. He glanced at the wall clock with his dark and deep eyes, and his slender and bony fingers tapped the marble table covered with a velvet tablecloth in a rhythmic manner.
At the entrance of the hall, Aunt Wang stretched her neck and looked anxiously at the iron gate of the villa.
The headlight beams lit up, and a white car shadow appeared at the smart road box next to the gate.
Aunt Wang's heart dropped halfway, but when she saw the back door open and a familiar figure came out, she patted her chest and walked quickly towards him. Her heart finally settled down completely.
Jiang Qin had just stepped off the bus and noticed someone beside her. She looked over and saw Aunt Wang.
"Madam, you are finally back. The master is waiting for you inside."
"Okay." Jiang Qin responded, but did not go in immediately. Instead, she went to the front to say goodbye to Su Lejia, "Be careful on the road."
"Well, go ahead." Su Lejia said, waving at Jiang Qin.
Jiang Qin smiled and nodded, then walked into the house.
When he entered the hall, at exactly 7:30, the old lady’s WeChat video invitation was sent to Huo Sili’s mobile phone.
Huo Sili looked up at Jiang Qin who was washing her hands at the sink on the island counter, waited for her to sit down, and swiped to answer the call.
A gentle smile appeared on his thin lips, "Grandma."
A few minutes later, as he wished, he saw the two of them sitting together in the dining chair, and the dishes on the table were obviously his grandson's wife's favorites.
Mrs. Huo on the other side of the screen smiled lovingly, and said with obvious satisfaction, "Okay, then I won't delay your meal. You two should eat quickly. Eat more. It's so late."
To facilitate the video, Jiang Qin, who was originally supposed to sit opposite Huo Sili, now sat next to Huo Sili.
Hearing this, Jiang Qin stopped eating and smiled sweetly at the old lady on the other side of the screen, "Yeah."
Horsley also said, "Okay, grandma, let's continue eating."
"Hey, hang up." Qiu Huilan said kindly.
After the video ended, Horsley stood up and took the phone holder away and put it aside.
Seeing this, Jiang Qin thought that Huo Sili had finished his performance and was not going to eat anymore, so she also stood up.
Wang Ma couldn't help but look at Jiang Qin, "Madam, wouldn't you like to eat something? Mr...."
I specially ordered everything to be made for you, and it’s all your favorite food.
Jiang Qin shook her head, "No, I came back from eating, I'm quite full."
After saying that, he walked straight into the elevator without stopping.
Huo Sili paused as he placed the mobile phone holder on the coffee table, then glanced back at Wang Ma.
I returned to my dining chair, looked at the changing numbers on the display screen next to the elevator, picked up my chopsticks and continued eating.
In recent months, Horsley has only come upstairs before going to bed.
Jiang Qin returned to the master bedroom and didn't hear any noise behind her, so she didn't think much about it.
After all, she knew clearly what Huo Sili was doing today. He would not really wait until 7:30 to eat. He would probably be in the living room or the study downstairs.
Jiang Qin first took folic acid as prescribed by the doctor, then took out the pregnancy information manual given by the doctor from her bag and sat on the sofa to read it.
Out of a sense of responsibility towards her child, she watched very carefully. However, having almost been caught by Horsley last time, although she was very careful this time, she still kept a little alert and watched for any movement outside the door.
But she never expected that when she was on high alert, the footsteps of someone sounded like those of a killer in a movie or TV show, as light as a feather falling to the ground.
The moment the door handle was pressed down, Jiang Qin's heart suddenly rose. She quickly glanced around, picked up the pillow beside her to block herself, grabbed the mobile phone beside her, and sandwiched the manual between herself and the pillow.
Unexpectedly, Horsley seemed to be going crazy again. The tall man pushed open the door and walked straight towards her.
Jiang Qin's heart was pounding, but her face was calm and she didn't even lift her eyelids.
As luck would have it, the phone in my hand suddenly vibrated with a loud and crisp sound.
Jiang Qin pulled down the status bar and took a look. She caught a glimpse of the handsome man walking towards her from the corner of her eye, and her heart beat faster for some reason.
It was Xie Youan who sent the WeChat message.
Jiang Qin was about to turn off the volume when she heard several beeps in succession, and Xie Youan sent several more messages.
"Su Lejia?" Huo Sili stood in front of her.
