Chapter 28 The Jealousy Jar is Broken
Jiang Qin was standing opposite Huo Sili, glaring at him angrily, and naturally noticed the obvious change in Huo Sili's expression.
But she really didn't care who he was talking to on the phone. Instead, she thought that he might be busy with work. It was a good opportunity for him to leave quickly. She had to continue writing her resignation application.
Thinking of this, seeing the office chair that he had pushed aside, Jiang Qin planned to go over and move the chair back.
But unexpectedly, just as she walked over there, the man stretched out his long arms and pulled her into his arms. At the same time, he answered the call in front of her and pressed the speaker!
Seeing the small speaker being turned on, Jiang Qin's eyes instantly widened and she stared at him. Huo Sili seemed to sense something and looked over to meet her eyes, and the strength he held on her suddenly increased by two points.
His eyes were full of warnings, and his body language showed that he would never allow her to leave at this moment. Jiang Qin felt annoyed and looked away from him. The next second, she heard Huo Sili ask the person on the other side.
"What's the matter?" His tone was so calm that it was impossible to imagine what he was doing just now and at this moment.
"Mr. Huo, Miss Li is waiting for you in the lounge on the third floor." It was He Xu on the other end of the line. The man's tone was as respectful as ever, with a hint of uncertainty and caution. "She said you have to accompany her to the Li family's business dinner tonight."
As if she was considering her words, she continued, "She said she mentioned it to you last night, and you promised her last night."
The anger rising in Jiang Qin's heart froze, and she looked at Huo Sili again with confusion in her beautiful eyes.
The moment she heard the words, she felt as if her heart was pierced by an ice pick, cold and painful.
Huo Sili promised Li Xueqian last night that he would accompany her to attend the business dinner at her home?
So, he kept saying that she and he had not divorced yet, but in fact, the rules were just used to restrain her.
When it comes to him, marriage and the distance between men and women will no longer exist, right?
At a business dinner, a man and a woman who were not related by blood and were not in a superior-subordinate relationship attended together.
What is the general situation? Wouldn’t he know?
And as far as she knew, in the four years of her secret marriage to him, he had always refused any business dinners of this kind.
After all, he was undoubtedly announcing to everyone that he and Li Xueqin had a special relationship.
Jiang Qin just felt nauseous.
She tried to pry his hand open, and maybe because Horsley was distracted, she managed to pry it open this time. Seeing this, she left quickly.
On the other end, He Xu obviously heard the sound of a woman's high heels, and the source of the sound seemed to be very close, and his tone suddenly became a little awkward.
"Mr. Huo? Have you agreed to Miss Li's request? If not, I will go down and tell her that you have work to do."
Huo Sili looked at his pried hands, frowned and looked back at Jiang Qin who was moving the chair, and said in a very calm tone, "Tell her to wait."
Beep, the phone was hung up, Huo Sili strode towards Jiang Qin, Jiang Qin was holding the back of the chair, Huo Sili grabbed the chair, Jiang Qin frowned, not wanting to pay attention to him.
But her strength was there, and after a few seconds of stalemate, she knew that if he didn't let go, she couldn't move at all, so she could only look up at him.
"What exactly do you want to..."
"You can resign, but you have to tell grandma first." Horsley said to her before the conversation was interrupted.
Jiang Qin was stunned.
Two seconds later, she frowned, "You..."
"What about me?" Horsley asked back.
Jiang Qin pursed her lips, but after calming down, she could also think that Huo Sili should not be forcing her.
After all, the reason why she ended up working for Horsley was mainly because of the old lady's idea.
Now that she was leaving the Huo family, it seemed that she should indeed tell the old lady.
But she couldn't help frowning when she thought of something, "You know grandma..."
Knowing that the old lady is in poor health, it is easy to overthink and worry.
Huo Sili pursed his lips slightly, walked towards Jiang Qin, leaned over to look at her, and opened his thin lips to block her words again.
"Yes, you know that grandma is in poor health and is worried. You saw it over the weekend. She is worried about us. When you proposed to resign, have you ever thought about what would happen if grandma suddenly came to the company to see us one day and found that you were not there?"
"Tell me, what reason should I find to tell her?"
The old mansion has a vast area and is equipped with everything from food, drink and entertainment. After the old lady fell ill, she hardly ever left the house except to see a doctor.
Jiang Qin felt that this conjecture was completely inconsistent with the actual situation, but at this moment there was no way to guarantee that it would not happen 100%.
However, whether it is resigning or getting divorced, since she has made the decision, it will not be easily changed.
"Okay, I'll talk to grandma about this this weekend." Jiang Qin said, looking at Huo Sili, "After I bring this up, I hope Mr. Huo won't change his mind again and approve my resignation application as soon as possible."
Horsley looked calm, as if he was satisfied with her idea.
Jiang Qin ignored him and when he let go, she pushed the chair back to its original position, sat down and continued to write her resignation application.
Horsley looked back at her, and his face suddenly became gloomy, so she naturally didn't notice it.
A few seconds later, the door of the president's office was slammed shut with a muffled sound, and Horsley went out.
Jiang Qin continued writing without stopping the pen tip on the paper for a second.
…
"Coming?"
At the restaurant, when Jiang Qin arrived, Xie Youan had already arrived. When he saw her, he smiled gently and greeted her.
Jiang Qin was a little surprised. It was not yet six o'clock, and she was afraid of traffic jams. After writing her resignation application, she saw that the time was almost up, so she quickly called a car. Unexpectedly, he was faster than her.
But when she heard him greet her, she nodded, smiled and hummed, then sat down gracefully.
Straight to the point, "Just order the food, no need to save money for me."
Xie Youan smiled gently and politely, "Okay."
The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, and this restaurant is also a hidden couple restaurant that has been very popular on the Internet recently. However, Jiang Qin, who doesn't know much about these things, naturally doesn't know this.
Until the waiter showed up and brought a pair of small gifts that looked obviously love-themed, and said to her and Xie Youan with a smile, "Handsome guy and beautiful girl 99".
Jiang Qin frowned slightly, "What did he say last? 99?"
Xie Youan also seemed not to understand, "Hmm? It should be their special service?"
Jiang Qin glanced at the small gift, opened an APP, and prepared to search for information about the restaurant.
Just then, several female voices rang out.
"I'll go, I'll go. Look outside the door. Is that Xuexue? She's wearing a mask, but I've seen her dress. It costs hundreds of thousands."
"It seems to be true. Oh my god, I'm so lucky today. What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and take the photo!"
"Wait, who is that handsome guy next to her? He's so damn handsome, he looks like a comic book guy!"
Jiang Qin looked in the direction of the voice, and as luck would have it, Huo Sili, who was passing by, glanced over here and happened to meet her eyes.
Jiang Qin: “…”
"Brother Si Li, where are you going?!"
Horsley pretended not to hear the voice behind him, and walked straight to the window seat in the restaurant with his long legs.
At the same time, Jiang Qin's heartbeat inexplicably accelerated in the restaurant. She was thinking about what to say, but then she regretted why she was thinking about explaining.
After all, what's wrong with treating friends to a meal?
As for him, he never explained to her about him and Li Xueqin.
While Jiang Qin was still thinking, Huo Sili's tall figure had already stood beside her.
He looked at Xie Youan with a fake smile, but as soon as he opened his mouth, there was a strong sense of hostility.
"What a coincidence, Mr. Xie, we meet again."
