Chapter 178 I am the bad guy, it has nothing to do with her
"So what do you think now? Do you want a divorce, or not? I see you don't want a divorce, right? Then why the hell can't you just say it out loud?!"
At the Lu family's old residence, Lu Xiuyuan received a call early in the morning from his brother who seemed to be seeking emotional help. He felt as if his heart was burning with anger. He felt aggrieved, disappointed, and a little drunk!
Because he really didn't understand that Horsley clearly didn't want to get divorced.
But why can’t the mouth open?
Horsley on the other end of the phone didn't say anything, probably because he was emo.
Lu Xiuyuan paused and thought that he might as well stop talking. After all, his brother's voice and tone when he spoke just now sounded really sad.
But two seconds later, Lu Xiuyuan found that he really couldn't tolerate his violent temper towards his brothers.
I couldn't hold back my words, and not only that, I couldn't help but be sarcastic, thinking it was outrageous -
"No, Huo Sili, President Huo, Second Young Master Huo! What on earth do you think? Ah? Have you figured it out yourself? Do you want to divorce Jiang Qin?"
"If you don't want a divorce, why did you wait all night long? You even climbed the dangerous door and saw people. Can't you try harder, have some courage, and go in and talk to your wife?"
Speaking of this, Lu Xiuyuan felt really aggrieved, and the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt!
But after he finished speaking, the other party still didn't say anything, and Lu Xiuyuan was even more speechless.
"Huo Sili, Mr. Huo, are you listening to me? If not, I'm hanging up!"
"Listening." Suddenly, the man's voice was heard again on the other end of the phone.
But this voice sounded obviously weaker and more depressed than before.
It's also a little hoarse, like the "cut throat" feeling that occurs when one is emotionally broken down or too sad and grief-stricken - the emotions are too sad, and there is physiological choking and wanting to cry. The throat hurts when not speaking, and when speaking, the throat is even more painful and hoarse!
But I feel sorry for a man who is unlucky all his life. How can a businessman who seeks good fortune be unlucky?
So, Lu Xiuyuan expressed his sympathy for Huo Sili. Anyone who loves men will feel sorry for him. Anyway, he just let it go.
"Just listen." So Huo Sili's words were spoken in the previous second, and Lu Xiuyuan followed up with this sentence in the next second, and continued quickly.
"Since you're listening, why don't you tell me what you're thinking right now? Also, you called me because you want me to give you some advice, right?"
"Okay, you don't have to reply to this. We have known each other for many years. Okay, don't waste your time. If you want me to help you, just tell me what you think. Otherwise, I don't know what the problem is between you two and I can't help you."
After saying this, Lu Xiuyuan heard Huo Sili sighing from the other end of the phone.
His occupational disease came on, and he held his breath and concentrated instantly, ready to analyze the "patient's" condition while listening.
Unexpectedly, the next sentence completely confused him, and then he wanted to curse!
"Forget it, I won't bother you anymore, just do your thing."
Horsley said this.
Lu Xiuyuan almost laughed out of anger, "Huo Sili, are you really sick? Why don't you come to my hospital's psychiatric department for a checkup? Will you die if you say you don't want to divorce her?
"Is it difficult to admit your own thoughts? How come I didn't know that the dignified President Huo is so timid now?
"Are you still not bothering me? Oh, that sounds nice, but don't put the blame on me! I won't take the blame! If I think you're bothering me, do you think I would answer your call!?"
Lu Xiuyuan and Huo Sili studied abroad together and were familiar with each other. Over the years, Lu Xiuyuan truly regarded Huo Sili as a brother, which was why he lost his composure and was so emotionally affected.
But in fact, as soon as he said this, he felt a little regretful. After all, the other person was in such a state, and he was an outsider, so why should he go to such lengths to help others?
Respect the blessings! Do whatever you want!
It’s not like he lost his wife anyway!
But while a voice in my heart thought so, another voice rose up.
There was no way out. Huo Sili and Jiang Qin had a flash marriage and a secret marriage at the beginning, then they became familiar with each other, evolved into a passionate love, and then into this inexplicable cold war, and finally they were about to get divorced.
He has been a witness on the road.
Huo Sili has helped him and his Lu family a lot over the years.
As a witness, he was particularly aware that his brother's condition during the year of cold war with Jiang Qin was obviously not as good as the years when he and Jiang Qin got along well.
Sincerity pays off, it is hard for him not to sincerely consider his brother. In the end, he still hopes that Huo Sili and Jiang Qin can be well.
Even in today's situation, Lu Xiuyuan still didn't give up this idea. There was always a voice in his heart that hoped Huo Sili and Jiang Qin could reconcile.
but……
There was silence on the other end of the phone again! !
Lu Xiuyuan was really convinced. After thinking for a while, he sighed and said, "Forget it, I..."
I don't care about this anymore! Do whatever you want!
Before he could say it, Huo Sili's voice suddenly came out. Unlike before, Huo Sili's voice was very calm this time. To Lu Xiuyuan's ears, it was like the man who used to be in charge of the situation had returned.
Lu Xiuyuan was having breakfast. The moment he heard the words, Lu Xiuyuan, who was sitting in the dining chair, couldn't help but straighten his back and become serious.
"This matter is complicated. I don't know how to tell you, but I like her. No, I love her. I don't want to divorce her. It's true."
Huo Sili's tone was serious. Lu Xiuyuan frowned slightly and immediately stopped being sarcastic.
Then I heard Huo Sili say again: "Let me put it this way, she, the person she likes may not be me, so things have come to this point today, I really don't want to divorce, but...but I also want to respect her thoughts."
Things were indeed complicated, because Lu Xiuyuan actually found that he couldn't understand a little.
What do you mean, the person Jiang Qin likes may not be Huo Sili? No, what's the point? How is that possible! ?
When they got married, Jiang Qin was only 20 years old. At that time, the girl had just lost the only relative who loved her. She was very pitiful and fragile. Later, she stayed with Huo Sili all the time. She had very few opportunities to contact other men outside of work, right?
How could you not like him? No, his brother must be having a brain meltdown! ?
But before he could ask the question, Horsley quickly continued -
"I called you because I didn't know who else to tell. As for why I didn't tell her even after I got involved, it was because if I didn't tell her, she would have less psychological burden because it was me who cheated on her."
"I am the bad one, it has nothing to do with her."
"She will feel better when she thinks about it later. After all, before this incident happened, before my grandmother's birthday party, she asked for a divorce from me. I told her before that I didn't want to divorce her, but I couldn't change her mind."
"That's how it is. Perhaps, the fate between her and me is really over."
No matter how hard you try to keep it, you can't change the ending.
I really don't want to divorce her, but I also really want to respect her decision.
When he thought that she might always be in pain being with him, he felt as if his heart was being bitten by millions of insects and ants, causing stinging, pain and swelling.
In this situation, how could he selfishly continue to tie her to his side in the name of marriage?
"That's it. Go ahead and get busy. I'm also at the company and ready for the morning meeting."
After saying this, Huo Sili suddenly seemed to be relieved. Yes, if this marriage ended up like this.
Well, let this charge be his last gift to her, a gift to help her get a better divorce.
He was the one who cheated. When the people in the Huo family find out that he and her are divorced, they can only gossip about him. Those rumors about how a girl from an ordinary family dared to take the initiative to divorce the second young master of the Huo family will not be born.
Even if people talk about her, it is likely to be complimentary. They will say that she resolutely chose to divorce because he cheated on her. She is a very strong-willed girl and it can be said that it is a complete benefit to her.
Just...divorce.
When the day of divorce really came, he still didn't know whether he could really sign the divorce agreement.
Because he would go crazy if he thought that when she was nice to him in the past, she was actually thinking about another man.
But at this moment, Horsley was calm.
After he finished speaking, Lu Xiuyuan on the other end didn't say anything and was about to hang up, but suddenly, Lu Xiuyuan called him to stop.
"Hey wait a minute!"
"Hmm?" After Huo Sili said what he had been suppressing in his heart for a long time, he calmed down a lot and responded quickly.
Lu Xiuyuan was sitting in the back seat of a luxury car heading to the hospital. He closed the door and asked the driver to drive out. He fastened his seat belt while talking on the phone with Huo Sili. This behavior showed that he really treated Huo Sili as a close friend.
After all, in the past, Lu Xiuyuan always fastened his seat belt before letting the driver drive. As a doctor, he valued his life very much.
"You just said that the person she likes might not be you." At this moment, as a doctor, Lu Xiuyuan's tone was also very serious, as if he regarded Huo Sili as a patient seeking his treatment. "But Huo Sili, Mr. Huo, who else could she like besides you?"
"Horsley, I've thought about it carefully. She followed you when she was 20 years old and became your wife."
"You've checked her situation before, how could she not like you? Don't be ridiculous, there must be a misunderstanding between you two. Aren't you going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to file for divorce next Wednesday?"
"How about this? Don't go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with her that day. You can meet her somewhere and talk to her about the confusion in your heart. Maybe the misunderstanding will be resolved?"
At this time, Lu Xiuyuan didn't know that his well-intentioned words, somehow, became the catalyst that made his good brother completely angry and out of control.
