Chapter 68 She dared not move for a moment, and her face lost color in an instant
Horsley leaned down and pressed down low.
"I suddenly thought of something."
Jiang Qin's heart was racing, and she barely suppressed the urge to push the door and run out, "What?"
Horsley looked down at her, his eyes dark.
"You decided before that you would divorce me after grandma's birthday party, right?"
Jiang Qin hadn't uttered a single word yet.
Horsley looked at her deeply and spoke.
"Grandma's birthday is tomorrow. You know, she's in poor health right now, especially with her illness. She can't be stimulated."
Jiang Qin pursed her lips slightly.
Horsley continued to lean over and look deeply at her.
"So what are your plans now? This marriage is..."
The words "we must leave" got stuck in his throat when he met her eyes.
Horsley changed his tone: "Let's find another time to leave? Is that okay?"
Is it okay?
The matter involved the old lady's health, what could Jiang Qin say? Besides, he said that they would find another time and he didn't directly deny the divorce.
He who knows the times is a hero.
Given Huo Sili's status and position, it is absolutely impossible for him to get a divorce if he is determined not to do so.
Since he said so, Jiang Qin naturally couldn't argue with him and say that they must leave after the old lady's birthday party.
"Okay." Jiang Qin agreed.
In fact, even if Huo Sili had nothing to do with it, the old lady herself had had a seizure in front of her some time ago, which made Jiang Qin feel very guilty and scared.
And just recently, she and Horsley had assured the old lady that her resignation was not due to problems in their relationship.
"Then I'll think about it later."
Jiang Qin looked at Huo Sili and said.
It was said before that the old lady would divorce after the birthday party, but she was not a prophet. Now so many things had happened in just twenty days, and she had to change some plans accordingly.
Otherwise, if something really happened to the old lady because of her decision, not only Horsley, but she herself would never be able to accept it.
But of course, it can only be postponed.
As for not leaving, that is impossible.
However, hearing Huo Sili talk about the old lady's health condition, Jiang Qin couldn't help but think of something.
That is, after the old lady's illness relapsed, although she had been taking medicine, she did not persist in effective treatment.
The reason is very simple - the old lady has been receiving Western medicine treatment since she was diagnosed with the disease. Every treatment requires various injections and instrument examinations.
The old lady herself hated the situation very much. She felt that firstly, it was really tiring, and secondly, she was often required to undress for examination during treatment, which made her feel very humiliated.
After several treatments, I heard from the doctor that the condition could be controlled by taking medicine, so I stopped treatment.
At this moment, Jiang Qin couldn't help but think of what happened when she went to the Chinese medicine clinic last Thursday afternoon.
When she went there, a middle-aged man came to present the doctor with a banner because he had cured the illness of an elder in his family. He was so happy that he hugged the doctor and couldn't stop crying.
She happened to meet them, so she heard that the other elder's illness was very similar to the old lady's.
At that time, she had made a note and planned to tell the old lady about it when she returned to the old house on Sunday, but she didn't expect that the Jiang Jianrong incident would happen as soon as she left the Chinese medicine clinic.
I returned to the old house yesterday. Because the old lady was going to have her birthday this Tuesday, I was busy with the birthday party. I was busy with big and small things all day long, so I didn't even think about this matter.
But now that she remembered this, Jiang Qin quickly made a memo and set the alarm. She would talk to the old lady about it after the birthday party on Tuesday.
After setting up, Jiang Qin continued to work.
In a blink of an eye, it was time to get off work in the morning.
Jiang Qin glanced at the number of unread emails. There were originally more than 300 of them, but now the number has been reduced to double digits.
As for the paper documents on the desk, the important parts have all been approved and taken away by people from various departments.
Maybe it's because I've acquired real skills in the past two years. Although I feel my condition is not as good as before, my efficiency is still okay.
Jiang Qin got up and prepared to go to the restaurant.
Just then, footsteps were heard from the inner room.
Jiang Qin paused for a moment before realizing that she seemed to have missed a task that could be big or small.
At the door leading to the inner room, Horsley's eyes fell on her and he spoke softly.
"You were so busy that you forgot to ask me what I had for lunch, Secretary Jiang."
Asking about and solving Huo Sili's dining problems when he is in the company is indeed one of Jiang Qin's jobs.
Although Huo Sili actually eats lunch in the staff cafeteria most of the time - after all, the chefs in Huo's staff cafeteria are all first-class chefs, the dishes are also varied and rich, covering flavors from many countries and regions, and all kinds of snacks and drinks are also unlimited.
But it was her job.
"Sorry, then you..." What do you want to eat?
The conversation was interrupted by Horsley, who glanced at her and said, "Let's go to the restaurant together."
As he said that, he opened the door first and looked back at her.
Jiang Qin frowned slightly.
I really want to know whether he knows that he and she have to avoid suspicion in the company because they are in a secret marriage.
And he and Li Xueqian...
"Brother Sili!"
A female voice suddenly appeared.
Today must be really amazing.
Whoever wants can come, it’s the second time.
Hearing the sound, Jiang Qin naturally glanced in the direction of the sound source, and Li Xueqin looked over at this moment.
Their eyes met, and Jiang Qin could easily see the determination and hostility in Li Xueqian's eyes.
only……
Jiang Qin looked back at Huo Sili indifferently.
I really don't understand why he is staring at Bai Yueguang instead of going to her at this time.
But Jiang Qin was also going to the restaurant.
I spent so much brainpower processing work this morning that I am really hungry now.
Jiang Qin walked out of the door quickly. Huo Sili held the door open and waited until she was out before closing it.
Because they had been scolded in the morning, the few people still at their workstations did not dare to look over here.
Jiang Qin was about to take the elevator downstairs.
But as I was walking forward and passing by Li Xueqin, Li Xueqin suddenly raised her elbow!
Jiang Qin's pupils shrank slightly, and she noticed the movement of Li Xueqin's hands and quickly dodged. However, she didn't expect that this person had despicable means engraved in her bones. Under her long skirt, she even stretched out her foot to trip her!
Jiang Qin has to wear high heels when she works.
Such a secret trip caught her off guard.
The moment she was tripped, Jiang Qin mobilized her core muscles as quickly as possible to try to steady her body, but she could only watch herself continue to fall forward.
Jiang Qin's face suddenly turned pale.
Time seemed to slow down all of a sudden.
There was nothing around to hold on to, so Jiang Qin stretched out her hand to support herself, and a strong arm held her firmly.
“…”
But although she kept her body steady, Jiang Qin could not let her guard down.
She remembered the abdominal pain she had from the shock last time.
But I don’t feel anything at the moment. I don’t know if something big is going to happen.
Realizing this, she dared not move for a moment, and her face lost color in an instant.
After a while, Jiang Qin couldn't help but lower her head to look at her abdomen.
"Sprained your ankle?"
Seeing this, Horsley next to him squatted down to check.
Jiang Qin's pupils suddenly shrank and she screamed in stress.
"Don't touch me!! Go away!!"
