Chapter 69 I Have Long Disliked Her
Huo Sili's pupils shrank and his whole body froze.
In these four years, when had she ever spoken to him like this, even if she was unhappy? Never.
Jiang Qin's voice was too loud, and her tone was full of annoyance.
In my impression, Secretary Jiang is always gentle and polite.
The employees who were still sitting at their workstations in the office area were inevitably startled and immediately turned their heads to look over here.
At the same time, Huo Sili, who was bent in mid-air, slowly stood up and stepped back away from Jiang Qin.
His eyes were fixed on her. He adjusted his breathing and spoke to her in a gentle, almost coaxing tone.
"Okay, I won't touch it. Do you want me to call a doctor?"
Huo Sili's tone was gentle and calm, but if Jiang Qin looked up at Huo Sili at this moment, she would see his red eyes and his face turning pale in an instant.
But it was obvious that Jiang Qin had no intention of looking at Huo Sili at the moment.
Her whole body was tense. She didn't even raise her head when she heard the words. She just uttered two words softly, "No need."
The voice was so light that it seemed as if the whole person was about to float away.
Horsley pursed his lips.
Beside Jiang Qin, Li Xueqin's face turned pale for a moment.
The distance between Huo Sili and Jiang Qin just now was actually not that close.
Li Xueqian never expected that Huo Sili would rush over to protect Jiang Qin so quickly, and what she didn't expect was...
Jiang Qin was so bold. There were other people around, but she dared to yell at Huo Sili!
It's crazy.
Besides, this is a company, not a home!
And even if she was at home, what right did she have to yell at him?
Just a stand-in from an ordinary person!
Because he looked like her, Horsley took a closer look at him.
Could she have some self-awareness?
The more Li Xueqin thought about it, the angrier she became. Especially in the current situation, she always felt as if her face was being stepped on and rubbed on the ground.
Because even she had to admit that Huo Sili was obviously very protective of Jiang Qin!
The situation changed so much that Li Xueqin felt that if she didn't say something, it would be very dangerous.
"Secretary Jiang, are you okay? Please walk carefully."
Thinking of this, Li Xueqin walked forward with a sweet and soft voice and started to confuse right and wrong.
The concern in her words was obvious, and there was no hint that she was the culprit.
Jiang Qin didn't care what Li Xueqin said or the tone she used.
Because she just felt it was noisy.
There was still no movement in the abdomen, but there was no feeling of blood flowing out either. Jiang Qin slowly stood up, adjusted herself, and turned to walk to the bathroom at the end of the corridor.
Li Xueqian frowned and looked at Huo Sili with an aggrieved look, "Brother Sili..."
But just as she called out this name, Huo Sili suddenly glanced at her with cold eyes.
The man's eyes swept across her elbow and then to her feet.
Li Xueqin couldn't help feeling guilty when being looked at, and her expression changed.
Horsley looked away and into her eyes.
Those four words struck Li Xueqian's ears coldly.
"There won't be a next time."
Li Xueqian's face turned pale instantly, but before she could open her mouth to explain something, Huo Sili stepped into the elevator, leaving behind only a cold back.
In the bathroom, as Jiang Qin had felt, there was indeed no bleeding, and she felt a little relieved, but she still didn't dare to be completely reassured.
He stayed for a while to make sure there was nothing unusual before coming out, but he was still a little uneasy.
Finally, I decided to go to the Chinese medicine clinic after get off work in the evening. After all, the old lady’s birthday party is tomorrow. If there is any problem that she can’t find out by herself, it will be better to control and treat it as soon as possible.
…
There were many people in the restaurant, and Jiang Qin was afraid of any more bumps and collisions, so she packed her food from the restaurant and went straight back to the office to eat.
After lunch, Jiang Qin was no longer sleepy.
After she returned to work, Huo Sili reduced her workload, hoping that she could finish her work earlier. According to Huo's flexible working hours, she could also leave work early in the evening and go to the Chinese medicine clinic.
Jiang Qin tidied up and continued to work.
Only when I felt sleepy did I lean back in my chair, cover myself with a thin blanket, and close my eyes for a nap.
Afraid of oversleeping and not hearing the alarm clock, Jiang Qin checked the time before taking a nap so that she would have an idea.
Then I realized it was already half past one.
Horsley had a meeting at 2pm and hadn't returned by 1:30pm.
But she didn't care where he went, because there was a high probability that he went out to eat with Li Xueqin.
Just before two o'clock, Jiang Qin was awakened by the alarm clock. When she went in, she saw that Huo Sili had not returned yet, and she couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
Jiang Qin went over and saw someone from the Food Department delivering documents.
Last time, several secretaries in the Food Department, led by Liu Wenli, slandered Lin Xiaoyu for bullying her colleagues, but they ended up shooting themselves in the foot, embarrassing the rest of the people in the Food Department for a long time.
Afterwards, whenever I had to hand over work to her, I felt as if I was too embarrassed to go to the president's office, so it was basically handled online.
Therefore, Jiang Qin was somewhat surprised when someone from the Food Department came. As expected, after delivering the documents, the other party did not leave.
Instead, he said to her somewhat awkwardly.
"Secretary Jiang, um, Mr. Huo, is he not back yet? Our department's briefing is about to begin, and several leaders asked me to come over and ask."
Jiang Qin told the truth, which made the department secretary even more embarrassed.
However, after hearing her say that she would contact Horsley immediately, the other party thanked her and left quickly without staying long.
As soon as the person left, Jiang Qin wanted to make a phone call.
But as soon as I picked up the phone, the screen lit up and a call from Huo Sili came in.
I saw the words "Mr. Huo" appear on the screen.
Jiang Qin felt a little weird.
As soon as I answered the call, the voice from the other end confirmed my guess.
And heard what the man said.
Jiang Qin's expression froze for a moment. After hanging up the phone, she quickly stood up from her chair and walked out.
…
This side is a private club in northern Beijing.
The courtyard is antique and has a unique interior.
However, compared with the liveliness in the hall, the situation in the private box seemed particularly cold.
Wen Chen glanced at Huo Sili who was still pouring wine beside him, and then looked at the little girl who had just provoked Huo Sili and was pushed to the ground by the man without mercy, and was now sobbing pitifully.
The beauty, who looked to be in her early twenties at most, was wearing cool clothes. Wen Chen took a glance at her and quickly retracted his gaze.
But with just one glance, it's not hard to see why the other party was so bold just now -
Her face looks about 60% like Jiang Qin from the front, and even more similar if you only look at the side profile.
"Okay, stop drinking. I've called her and she'll be here soon. Are you sure you want her to see you like this?"
It was not known whether Huo Sili was drunk or not, but his eyes were still deep and dark when he heard the words, and it was impossible to see clearly.
After a long time, he drank a few more cups.
Wen Chen had just heard Huo Sili speak, but what he said really confused him.
"She doesn't like me."
"Who does she like if not you?"
Wen Chen raised his eyebrows. If people could visualize their doubts, he felt that there were probably question marks all around his head at this moment.
But Horsley was silent again.
Wen Chen was a little impatient. He glanced at the empty wine bottle on the table, and seeing that Huo Sili wanted to drink more, he reached out and held his hand.
"Forget it, I won't ask you this anymore. Just tell me if she is the one you like now?"
Wen Chen's eyes were filled with helplessness. He originally came here to discuss business, but who would have thought that he would run into his brother who came here to get drunk because of relationship problems.
Tomorrow is Mrs. Huo’s birthday party. The two families have been friends for generations, and the two old ladies are good sisters. Wen Chen thought about it and decided to take care of it.
Looking at Huo Sili, Wen Chen said, "She will be here soon. Just tell me whether you want to appear in front of her like this or not. If you don't want to, then stop drinking."
Just at this moment, Jiang Qin was sent to the door of the box by the person sent by Wen Chen to pick her up.
The Wen family bodyguard guarding the door recognized Jiang Qin, and when he saw her coming, he quickly opened the door.
Opposite the door stands a tall folding screen with a landscape painting.
Jiang Qin was about to walk inside after walking around the screen when she heard the voice and stopped abruptly.
"Who do I like? Jiang Qin?"
Then came Wen Chen's voice, his tone revealing helplessness, "Or else?"
Horsley's voice sounded, indifferently, "I have disliked her for a long time."
Outside the screen, Jiang Qin clenched his hands into fists.
Behind the screen, Wen Chen frowned.
"Siri, are you serious?"
Horsley's voice: "Yeah."
Jiang Qin didn’t hear what was said after “hmm”.
After the sound, she wanted to continue walking inside, but her heels seemed to be tied with a rope and pulled in the opposite direction.
It's so embarrassing.
Jiang Qin walked out of the door quickly. A faint medicinal scent wafted through the air. It was the smell of the ointment that Jiang Qin had recently applied on her wrists to remove scars.
Huo Sili pinched his eyebrows, and when he heard it, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he stood up and looked back.
Looking at Wen Chen, "Is she here?"
The bodyguard's movements in opening and closing the door were so professional, Jiang Qin's footsteps were always light, and more importantly, there was a sound-absorbing carpet in the box.
The woman inside was still crying softly, and Wen Chen really didn't hear the noise of Jiang Qin coming in just now.
"who?"
Horsley didn't answer. He pursed his lips and walked out quickly, so fast that a gust of wind blew in the box.
