Chapter 55 Jiang Qin opened her eyes wide and her heart beat faster
However, before she opened her mouth, Horsley anticipated and blocked her words.
"Why, you can't spare the time to pick out a birthday present for grandma?"
This hat is really big.
Jiang Qin looked at Huo Sili, the anger in her heart rising, and for a moment she really wanted to punch him.
But in the end, forget it, because it was obvious that if they really started fighting, she would be no match for him.
But she was still angry, and Jiang Qin didn't know what she was thinking. Anyway, she lowered her head and looked at Huo Sili's shiny leather shoes.
Suddenly he lifted his foot.
Aim at Horsley's leather shoes and step down!
Then she pushed him away with force, and while he was stunned, she opened the door and left quickly.
The door slammed shut in front of Horsley.
"..." Horsley lowered his eyes to look at his empty hands, then looked down at the tip of his shoe.
The floor of the Huo headquarters was very clean, and there was almost no dust on his shoes. In fact, the force she used just now was not very strong.
But, I could clearly feel that she was very unhappy.
Like a rabbit with red eyes.
But before she answered, Horsley took out his cell phone and sent a voice message.
"Come with me. The auction tomorrow will have items that grandma likes. I've seen the items in the next few days, and they're average. The auction is hosted by the Wen family. You know how close Mrs. Wen is to grandma."
A few minutes later, she received a text reply that was clearly unwilling to accept:
【knew! 】
She usually doesn't add punctuation at the end of her reply.
Horsley stared at the exclamation mark, his eyes dark.
In just a few seconds, Huo Sili turned off his phone and returned to his seat to continue working.
She agreed anyway.
…
On the first floor, Uncle Yang drove his car into the main road. In the back seat of the car, Jiang Qin was visibly unhappy.
The three sisters haven't gotten together for several years. They finally had time to have a meal together, but they didn't expect to be disturbed, and he even used the old lady to talk about them!
Also, he actually mentioned the auction just now.
Thinking of the auction that she had missed before, Jiang Qin's mood suddenly became complicated. Her heart felt like it was blocked by a large ball of cotton. She could breathe, but it was blocked and stuffy.
The interface displayed on the phone was still his WeChat chat box. Jiang Qin stared at the sentence she replied to for two seconds.
In the end, he just walked out without saying anything else.
After all, last Saturday afternoon, I went to the Wen family to discuss cooperation. During the meal, Mr. Wen, at the instruction of his wife, asked her and Huo Sili when the old lady could have a great-grandson.
This is a question that usually only relatives would ask each other, but the Wen family asked it.
This shows how good the relationship is between the old lady of the Wen family and her great benefactor, old lady Huo.
In previous years, even if she and he were not familiar with each other, they would prepare birthday gifts together to make the old man happy.
If Horsley went alone to pick out a birthday gift for the old lady this year and she was not there, and if someone with ulterior motives spread the news to the old lady's ears, she would probably worry about her relationship with Horsley again.
The rich are entangled in deep waters. Although she doesn't like to pay attention to the internal struggles of the Huo family, she also knows that some people in the Huo family branch have been eyeing the main family. No matter when, when in this circle, it is wise not to do things that can easily give people gossip.
Therefore, although Jiang Qin was unhappy, she had to force herself to accept the fact.
She had to accompany him to the auction, so the dinner date would have to be rescheduled.
Fortunately, Su Lejia was not too busy this week - after Jiang Qin told Su Lejia about the matter, she was worried that Su Lejia would not have time and the three sisters would not be able to get together.
But Su Lejia replied to her within two minutes, saying that this week was not too busy and Tuesday night was not possible, so the date could be changed to Wednesday night.
She explained that the original date was Tuesday, but she felt that she could see Xie Zhiya earlier on Tuesday.
Jiang Qin said she understood and told Xie Zhiya about changing the time. Xie Zhiya replied immediately that it was no problem.
And at this moment, Jiang Qin's mood immediately calmed down.
The car arrived at Yunhai Huafu, and the corners of my mouth were raised when I got off the car.
Tuesday turns into Wednesday, which is just one day, so it’s okay.
But as soon as she entered the room, Jiang Qin's good smile suddenly disappeared.
There was a woman sitting on the sofa, brewing scented tea in front of her, as if she treated this place as her own territory.
It was none other than the one who slapped her yesterday morning.
Her mother-in-law, Huo Sili's mother, Yuan Lianqing.
"Oh, you're back." At this time, perhaps hearing her footsteps, Yuan Lianqing turned around and looked at her.
As soon as she opened her mouth, it was obvious that she was being sarcastic.
Jiang Qin paused and looked back. At this moment, she noticed Aunt Liu standing against the wall in the corner.
She glanced towards the kitchen. Aunt Wang was not there. She was probably sent away.
On the sofa, Yuan Lianqing put down the teacup and stood up.
Jiang Qin glanced at the other person and then looked at the pot of orchid on the flower stand next to her.
He quickly turned on his phone and opened an app.
…
At the same time, in the President's Office of Huo's headquarters.
Huo Sili had just finished approving the last document on hand and sent a message asking people from various departments to pick it up themselves.
I got up and went out, preparing to go to the lounge on the third floor downstairs.
Just as I was about to leave, my phone suddenly vibrated.
The man frowned slightly, opened it and took a look, his eyes suddenly darkened.
On the other side, He Xu was returning from the hospital when he encountered a red light. He thought that Huo Sili should have almost finished processing the documents and was preparing to go downstairs to the lounge.
Without hesitation, He Xu called Huo Sili.
But strangely, no one answered the call.
Just as he was wondering, a message came on WeChat and He Xu was stunned.
Immediately increase the speed of the car.
…
"So, you don't want to drink the toast and drink the penalty?!"
Yunhai Huafu, Jiang Qin pushed back several sarcastic daggers with ease.
Yuan Lianqing couldn't pretend anymore.
Jiang Qin, who was sitting opposite the sofa, showed no expression when she heard this. After all, why not drink a toast?
Did she toast and just say that?
However, Jiang Qin really didn't understand what Yuan Lianqing was thinking. It was obvious that the bad relationship between her and Huo Sili was already known to everyone, and she knew what kind of person Huo Sili was.
But now, she actually had the guts to meddle in his affairs again and started urging her to have a baby.
She said that she had accidentally learned about a recipe for aiding pregnancy today, and asked her to take the medicine according to the recipe for a month to see the effects.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the old lady caused trouble for Yuan Lianqing because of the slap she received, and Yuan Lianqing was unhappy, so she came here to cause trouble for her.
However, Jiang Qin was fed up with the issue of inducing labor. Moreover, if it were in the past, she might have endured it. After all, no matter how bad the person in front of her treated her, she was Huo Sili, the mother of the person she liked.
But now, like? Oh. Also, Shinobu?
Why endure it? If she develops nodules during pregnancy, she will be the one who suffers!
Jiang Qin stopped pretending, "Mom, if you want to have grandchildren, it's no use telling me, you should talk to Si Li."
Yuan Lianqing's eyes widened, and his expression changed a little, "What do you mean by that?"
Jiang Qin poured herself a cup of warm boiled water, took a sip, and then replied, "Literally."
Yuan Lianqing's face suddenly turned darker. Literally? She had a strange look on her face, and after thinking about it, it suddenly became even stranger.
After a moment, Yuan Lianqing still couldn't believe it, "Jiang Qin! Don't slander our Si Li! Our Si Li is in good health! How could he have that kind of problem!"
"It must be you. I'm telling you, make time to go to the hospital for a check-up! Otherwise, divorce Si Li! We've been married for four years and there's no sign of pregnancy, and now you dare to slander my son!"
Jiang Qin didn't want to pay any attention to Yuan Lianqing at all. She was sitting here simply because she was afraid that this man would go crazy and attack her again.
It is a big taboo for her to be frightened at the moment, and it is obviously inappropriate to use force. Besides, she is the younger generation. No matter what, Yuan Lianqing is still Huo Sili's mother. Although she will probably fight back if pushed to the limit, it is better to have less trouble than more.
Seeing Jiang Qin's calm and silent appearance, Yuan Lianqing was obviously a little confused.
He muttered to himself, "How could my son... Impossible... You must be talking nonsense!"
Just then, a black Cullinan stopped outside the gate, and Horsley pushed the door open with a cold face.
In the hall, Yuan Lianqing heard footsteps and was startled, obviously panicking.
But rather than panicking, she undoubtedly wanted to figure out one thing more at this moment.
"Si Li! You're here just in time! Tell mom the truth, is it your fault that you and Jiang Qin haven't had a child for so long?"
Huo Sili, who was walking into the hall, quickly glanced at Jiang Qin sitting on the sofa, and then cast his eyes on Yuan Lianqing.
Hearing this, the man raised his eyebrows slightly, "Hmm? My question? What's the problem?"
Yuan Lianqing glanced at Huo Sili, her eyes fell on Huo Sili's waist and abdomen, and moved down.
Looking at Huo Sili, his expression was indescribable, but silence was more powerful than words.
Horsley obviously realized what was happening and his face turned dark instantly.
He twitched his thin lips and looked at Jiang Qin, "Do I have a question?"
Jiang Qin put down the glass and said, "I didn't say anything. If you don't believe me, check the surveillance."
"You two mother and son should have a good chat. I'll go upstairs first."
After Jiang Qin finished speaking, she stood up and walked towards the elevator. Seeing this, Yuan Lianqing went to pull Hosli, obviously wanting to get things clear.
However, Horsley took a big step forward, and there was no trace of him.
"Si Li!" Yuan Lianqing was about to chase after him when a phone call came in. Seeing the note, he frowned and stopped.
At the elevator entrance, Jiang Qin was about to press the elevator button when her outstretched hand was held by another hand.
Jiang Qin's body suddenly rose up, her pupils shrank, and without saying anything, she quickly hugged Huo Sili's shoulders.
The elevator door closed and Jiang Qin was carried in by Huo Sili.
The elevator rose, and the man's handsome face suddenly approached. Jiang Qin didn't dare to lean back to avoid this posture.
He sneered and spoke in a low, magnetic voice, "I have a problem? I don't know what my problem is. Why don't I go upstairs and check if I have any problem?"
Jiang Qin opened her eyes wide and her heart beat faster.
