Chapter 251 Horsley Knelt in Front of Her
The moment Jiang Qin spoke, Huo Sili almost stopped instinctively.
I held my breath and concentrated, afraid of missing even a little bit of what she wanted to say.
When he heard this, there was still a look of disbelief on his face. He was distracted and was reminded by Tiantian who was sitting next to him.
"Uncle Weird, my mom said she wants to talk to you."
After poking him with his little hand again, Horsley finally believed it completely.
Oh, it’s not an auditory hallucination.
She was willing to talk to him.
If He Xu was beside him at this moment, he would be so shocked by Huo Sili that his eyes would be as big as copper bells.
No, the handsome guy in front of me who bounces like a spring is... Mr. Huo?
The fact is, this guy is.
And when Huo Sili came to his senses, he not only jumped up, but also looked at Jiang Qin with great caution.
Before faking her death, Jiang Qin thought that their relationship was like those in some TV dramas - they were being chased and pushed to the edge of a cliff, so the possibility of their relationship "surviving" was very small.
Therefore, after three years, Jiang Qin, who only learned the truth of eleven years ago, felt a little distressed for someone, but it did not mean that her feelings for him immediately returned to the way she had liked him before.
Therefore, Jiang Qin was actually not comfortable looking at Huo Sili at this moment.
After looking at him, she looked away and turned back.
Qiu Huilan had already come out of the small study and had just returned to the large flat.
Jiang Qin walked all the way back to the small study, opened the door, and went in first.
Horsley followed closely behind her, fearing that she would shut him out again.
But it was obviously overthinking. After Jiang Qin entered the room, she sat on the sofa first. Huo Sili looked at the door that was not closed, and stood at the door for two seconds in a daze, as if he was still confirming whether this was a dream or reality.
He pinched himself hard, frowned slightly, and then walked in.
"close the door."
Seeing that he was about to come straight in, Jiang Qin reminded him lightly.
Horsley was like a mechanical doll with its spring not properly wound. He listened to her and looked at her, then said "oh" after a moment of hesitation.
Turn around and close the door.
He was not like this three years ago. Jiang Qin saw everything.
And this time, when she saw it up close, she finally understood the old lady's feelings when she asked her to come over.
She also understood that what the old butler Zhou Fu said to her when he suddenly fell ill last time was not an exaggeration.
And this was Horsley's reality during these three years.
Jiang Qin's emotions were surging. She had actually thought of what she wanted to say to him, but she really thought that this person was sitting in front of her.
Like a puppy abandoned by its owner, he looked at her eagerly and hopefully.
Jiang Qin suddenly had some amnesia.
She didn't speak, and Huo Sili didn't speak either, but Jiang Qin didn't speak, but her eyes didn't fall directly on Huo Sili's face.
Horsley was just the opposite. He didn't say anything, but his eyes were glued to her.
His eyes were full of longing.
It's really hard to watch.
In the end, it was Jiang Qin who spoke first, and her words were quite direct. In order to have more time to accompany her daughter over the past three years, she had become accustomed to being decisive in other matters.
"So when you heard me call you Chi Shen, you didn't know your background yet. At that time, you thought I was a spy sent by Huo Chi Shen to be by your side? You thought I was willing to marry you because I liked Huo Chi Shen so much?"
As she spoke, Jiang Qin looked into Huo Sili's eyes.
After saying that, she looked at his expression carefully.
Then I saw that there was obvious remorse on his face and his eyes suddenly turned red.
"I'm sorry...Qinqin, I wronged you at that time..."
"Stop, stop, stop. Don't apologize yet." Jiang Qin still clearly remembered the last time Huo Sili suddenly fainted.
She didn't want this person to suddenly become emotionally unstable and faint while she was chatting with him.
Although she felt that Horsley should not be that fragile, she really didn't understand the specific situation of his illness. It's better to be safe than sorry. She hadn't finished her words yet.
Jiang Qin followed up with, "When did you find out that your former name was Chi Shen? Also, did you find out about your past life experience yourself, or did your grandparents tell you later?"
These two issues are obviously the focus.
The color of Horsley's eyes changed, and his pity for her faded away, returning to a bit of the coldness she was familiar with before. But when he looked at her, his eyes were misty again.
Jiang Qin couldn't stand Huo Sili looking at her pitifully all the time. Subconsciously, she didn't want to be easily affected by him. She pinched her index finger lightly with the thumb of her left hand in a naturally relaxed state to calm herself down.
"Answer me." Huo Sili seemed to be thinking about how to tell her and did not say anything for a while. Jiang Qin urged him in a low voice.
It looked like she was impatient, even though she wasn't, but she just wanted to show that she didn't really want to talk to him.
This trick was undoubtedly useful, and Horsley quickly answered.
"It was only after you filed for divorce that I realized that I might have had a name called Chi Shen."
These words were very firm, without any trace of falsehood.
And if that was the case, everything made sense, and it just happened to fit her previous guess.
Jiang Qin was about to ask, what about the second question, how did you know about this.
Horsley suddenly looked at her with a focused and serious look, mixed with many complex emotions, most of which were regret and self-mockery.
"Actually, ever since you called out that name, Qinqin, I've been investigating after I adjusted my mindset, but the progress hasn't been smooth. Grandma should have told you, Qinqin, that those people's roots are not in Kyoto, so it's very difficult to investigate."
"Later, Xiuyuan found a clue and arrested a man. He recognized me and said my name was Chi Shen. But the man had mental problems. I'm not sure what the situation was."
"Plus, during that time, you wanted a divorce, but I didn't want to..."
Speaking of this, Horsley seemed to have fallen into that painful time again.
Noticing that his face was getting worse, Jiang Qin interrupted him quickly.
"Okay, stop it, just answer me directly - so you found out your background yourself?"
Huo Sili nodded, then shook his head and added: "Most of it was found, but at that time you had already faked your death and left the country. It was too late to find out your life story. As for the other small part related to the Huo family, only grandma and the others knew about it."
"So I only knew that part because my grandma told me."
Huo Sili looked at Jiang Qin and added something that the old lady had not told Jiang Qin just now -
"After I woke up from the car accident eleven years ago, they were afraid that I would still refuse to return to the Huo family, so they tried their best to hide my original life experience. After hiding it, those who knew the inside story at the time gave huge amounts of hush money."
"Except for people like Butler Zhou who have been with grandma for decades, the rest have been sent away."
“Including how the main family had a grandson, my identity was also announced at a family meeting held privately. At that time, my grandmother was ill and I was in the hospital, like a vegetable.
"It was only after I recovered and went abroad to study that my grandmother's people confirmed that those things were the work of Huo Chi Shen. So Huo Chi Shen stayed in the Huo family at that time. In addition, my mother was protecting him, and my grandmother was ill, so they couldn't touch him.
"Grandpa and father are not at home. After that, it will be too late to move. There will be no legitimate reason."
When Huo Sili said this, he lowered his eyes slightly, pursed his thin lips, and looked at Jiang Qin.
Jiang Qin listened carefully, and after hearing this, she could understand the hidden meaning of Huo Sili's words.
At the same time, one can clearly realize how dangerous Horsley's situation was at that time.
Yes, after all, Huo Chishen has been the young master of the Huo family for twenty years, the eldest grandson of the Huo family, and the only son of the younger generation of the master family.
His usual personality is that of a gentle and kind nobleman, who is polite and courteous to everyone.
Who would have thought that such a person is actually more vicious than snakes and scorpions behind the scenes.
Furthermore, the old lady was ill at the time and had to take care of the affairs of the group. The old man and Huo Chengzheng were both in the army and basically never went home. In that situation, they were attacked from both sides.
It was already amazing that the old lady was able to send Huo Sili abroad safely and allow him to improve himself abroad.
At that time, Huo Chi Shen, who had lived for twenty years with such a hypocritical human skin mask, was liked by Yuan Lianqing. He must have been quite popular in front of Huo Wu and Huo Chengzheng who seldom went home.
A lean camel is bigger than a horse.
At that time, it was impossible to get rid of Huo Chi Shen.
After all, they are a wealthy family related to that aspect, and they have to observe procedural justice in everything they do.
If his grandson or son was found to have hired someone to commit murder, what would happen to Huo Wu and Huo Chengzheng who are in the army?
Even though he is a fake grandson and fake son, I have raised him for twenty years after all, and it would be too unpleasant to hear the news if it got out.
Therefore, if you want to get rid of Huo Chi Shen, there must be a reason, but it certainly cannot be too unpleasant, just like what happened now, Yuan Lianqing said that Huo Chi Shen embezzled public funds and used his power for personal gain in the matter of Yuan's company.
At least this statement does not sound as outrageous and bad as "hiring a killer".
And that operation also successfully took back all the power from Huo Chishen.
Furthermore, the fact that Huo Sili is the grandson was also announced within the family without Huo Sili's knowledge. If he comes back, Huo Chi Shen will be in trouble.
Undoubtedly, this will have extremely bad consequences for the old lady.
After finding out what he wanted to know, Jiang Qin had almost finished what he wanted to say.
As for why it was almost the same, some words were a little hot on her lips. She wanted to say them but didn't want to, so she simply decided not to say them for the time being.
Jiang Qin turned on her phone and checked the time. She glanced at Huo Sili and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"
“If not…” That’s all, I’ll go first.
However, he was interrupted before he could finish.
Horsley stood up from the sofa and walked over tentatively, step by step.
Jiang Qin's eyelashes fluttered slightly and she looked up at him.
The next moment, the tall figure suddenly lowered.
Jiang Qin's pupils shrank, and she heard a thud as her knees hit the ground.
Horsley knelt before her.
