Chapter 71 Huo Sili picked it up and looked at it, and his pupils shrank instantly
On the way to Huo's, Jiang Qin adjusted her mentality and handed over Huo Sili's situation to the food department.
The old lady’s birthday party is tomorrow and Horsley is on vacation, so the food department’s report meeting has to be postponed to the day after tomorrow.
After returning to Huo's CEO's office, Jiang Qin immediately continued working as she thought about going to the Chinese medicine clinic later.
Perhaps because she was too engrossed in the work, Jiang Qin didn't even notice when Huo Sili came back until she finished the work at hand and packed up to leave.
When she stood up and looked up, she found Horsley standing at the door of the inner room, looking at her, as if he had something to say.
It's just that some things are embarrassing once.
Jiang Qin glanced and saw it, then looked away.
Just pick up your bag and leave.
After a few seconds, there was a click.
Gently close the door of the president's office.
Polite and polite, but extremely distant.
Huo Sili followed Jiang Qin's gaze to the closed door and raised his hand to touch his left cheek.
Compared to the slap the old lady gave him before, the one she gave him before actually didn't hurt that much.
Just thinking about why she slapped him.
There was a hint of sadness in Horsley's eyes.
Looking at the tightly closed door again, Horsley took out his mask and put it on, then quickly opened the door and walked out.
But just as he was about to press the elevator button, the door of He Xu's office not far away was pushed open, and He Xu walked towards him holding a stack of documents.
Huo Sili stopped and glanced at him coldly.
He Xu was a little confused.
Huo Sili had gone to the club alone before, and when he came back, Wen Chen sent someone to send him back. He Xu didn't know what had just happened.
However, as a special assistant and confidant, his ability to read people's expressions is naturally excellent, and He Xu reacted quickly.
He hurriedly asked, "Mr. Huo, will these documents be approved the day after tomorrow? Should I tell them?"
Horsley strode on, leaving behind a faint "hmm".
More than half an hour later, the black Cullinan stopped outside Yunhai Huafu. Huo Sili got out of the car and went straight into the house.
It was not even five o'clock yet, and Aunt Wang was preparing dishes for dinner. She was surprised to see Huo Sili coming back at this time.
But Huo Sili didn't say anything. The atmosphere between the couple had been really weird recently, so Wang Ma didn't dare to say anything.
He lowered his head and continued to prepare the dishes in his hands. A moment later, Horsley went upstairs and came down again, walked to the kitchen door, and stayed there for several seconds.
Wang Ma confirmed that Huo Sili had something to ask, so she stopped the kitchen knife and asked, "Sir, do you have anything to say?"
Horsley glanced across the yard, then back.
The voice was very calm, but perhaps as someone who had experienced this, Wang Ma could clearly hear the panic hidden in Huo Sili's tone -
"Qinqin, she didn't come back?"
But as soon as these words came out, Wang Ma became even more flustered than Huo Sili.
Are they quarreling again?
"My wife isn't back yet, sir."
Wang Ma couldn't hold back her words. "Sir, are you and your wife arguing again? I mean, sir, you are four years older than your wife, and your wife got married to you when she was 20. No matter what, you should always give in to your wife."
But as soon as she finished speaking, Wang Ma felt a little regretful.
Horsley's expression turned visibly uglier.
Mother Wang glanced at Huo Sili, then quickly picked up the kitchen knife and continued chopping vegetables, thinking that her talkativeness just now was all a dream.
But she hadn't finished cutting the vegetables when she heard Huo Sili responding to what she had just said.
"You are right."
Wang Ma's hand holding the kitchen knife almost trembled.
What does this mean? Is it irony or...
Just when Wang Ma wanted to say something to save the situation, Huo Sili quickly spoke again.
"Where did she go? Did she tell you? Can you call her and ask where she is?"
Wang Ma's eyes widened a little.
But from Huo Sili's silent and determined eyes, Wang Ma knew that she had not misunderstood.
"Okay... okay sir."
After putting down the kitchen knife and washing her hands, Wang Ma took out the mobile phone from her apron and called Jiang Qin.
But unexpectedly, the call was connected until it was automatically hung up and no one answered.
Wang Ma felt like she needed to take a quick-acting heart pill at this moment, especially when she put down her phone and saw Huo Sili looking at her nervously for the first time.
Aunt Wang tried to remain calm and said, "Sir, the call went through, but the wife didn't answer... Maybe she's busy?"
Horsley's eyes suddenly dimmed and his thin lips tightened.
…
This side is the Chinese medicine clinic.
Jiang Qin came out of the clinic and learned from the old doctor that the fetus was stable. She finally felt relieved after being worried for most of the afternoon.
However, just before she was about to leave, the old doctor specifically told her to think less and try to stay in a good mood.
Jiang Qin knew that there were still some minor problems with her body.
This is not a solution.
So as soon as she came out, Jiang Qin thought about what happened at noon and in the afternoon, and she didn't want to go back to Yunhai Huafu at all.
Coincidentally, when I was hesitating between calling Uncle Yang or taking a taxi, Su Lejia called.
Jiang Qin answered the phone, and Su Lejia invited her to have dinner together in the evening, saying that her family had gone back to their hometown a few days ago to do some business and had sent some local specialties over.
Food loses its freshness if it is left out for too long, so she plans to cook it right away when she gets off work to pick up the package.
She also said that Zhou Junxuan was on a business trip again, so it would be convenient for the two sisters to get together. If she came, she would pick her up after get off work.
It just so happens that the Chinese medicine clinic is close to Su Lejia’s company.
It's the best of both worlds.
Jiang Qin naturally had no objection and quickly agreed. There happened to be a small supermarket nearby and there were not many people there at this time, so there was no need to worry about being bumped into by anyone.
Jiang Qin went in for a walk and bought some fruits and snacks that Su Lejia liked. When she came out of the supermarket and stood on the side of the road waiting, she looked at her cell phone and noticed that Aunt Wang had called her earlier.
But after all, I have been living with Wang Ma for four years.
In these four years, the number of times Wang Ma called her was very few.
Generally, if there is something that is not convenient to talk about face to face, she will send a WeChat message first, and there will never be a time when Wuguang talks to her on the phone.
And if it is really an emergency, if the call doesn’t go through once, they will definitely call a second and third time.
But the missed calls only showed that Wang Ma called once.
Jiang Qin thought about it, asked He Xu, and then learned that Huo Sili had left Huo's half an hour before Wang Ma called her, and she immediately understood everything.
Just at this moment, Su Lejia's white BMW stopped on the side of the road.
Jiang Qin opened the car door and got in, and then she ignored the matter.
…
Ten o'clock in the evening, Yunhai Huafu.
The dishes on the table were still steaming on the hot plate, but every plate was untouched.
Horsley sat in his usual seat, looking at the red exclamation mark in the chat box, his lips pursed into a straight line.
At the entrance of the hall, Aunt Wang looked at the iron gate several times. She was so hungry that she went to have dinner, then came back and looked at it several more times, but there was still no movement at the door.
He was so anxious that he walked around the yard for a few times, and then he mustered up the courage to call Jiang Qin again.
Hearing the "hello" from the other side, Wang Ma was immediately touched, but before she could say anything, she heard what Jiang Qin said over there, and her expression suddenly became complicated again.
Wang Ma tried to persuade her: "Madam, tomorrow is the old lady's birthday party. You and your husband should go to the old house together."
"It would be bad if you went there alone and were seen by the old lady."
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Qin had just come out of the bathroom, lay down in the guest room of the apartment, lifted the quilt and covered herself with it, ready to go to sleep.
Perhaps because of what happened this afternoon, Jiang Qin's lips twitched slightly when she heard this voice, and she just thought it was really funny.
Because that's what she thought before.
So even if she was wronged, she didn't want to trouble Huo Sili, and always thought about enduring it.
After all, the old lady had been very kind to her, so it was her duty to do all this.
But now, she realized that she had been wrong from the beginning - by marrying Huo Sili, she, Jiang Qin, really owed no one anything.
Huo Sili has a good status and position. She is indeed ordinary, but as an ordinary person, she is not bad, right?
She graduated from the top art academy in the country and was proficient in multiple foreign languages. She had a bright future ahead of her, but it was ruined because she married him.
Because of the rules of the wealthy family, because of the banner of protection, and because she was young at the time.
In short, it's all for her good.
Looking back now, maybe her starting point was indeed good, but wasn't this actually a disguised way of cutting off her own wings?
Once cracks appear in the cornerstone of trust, the bridge between people will slowly collapse.
As for Jiang Qin.
At this moment, she didn't want to blame anyone.
I just saw everything clearly all of a sudden, and realized what I wanted more, and I didn't want to compromise anymore.
"Then let him pick me up tomorrow morning, and then we can set off together."
The implication is that we don't have to meet again tonight.
Wang Ma was about to say something, but Jiang Qin spoke first.
"That's all, Wang Ma, go to bed early, good night."
Beep, hang up, turn off, go to sleep.
In Yunhai Mansion, Aunt Wang opened her mouth, but it was too late to speak. When she heard the busy tone, she turned around and looked at Huo Sili.
He stepped forward and repeated what Jiang Qin had said.
It was not known whether Horsley heard it or not.
The man's eyes fell on the seat where Jiang Qin often sat across the dining table, and it took him a while to look away.
He picked up his chopsticks to eat, put them down after a few minutes, and stood up to walk towards the elevator.
Aunt Wang opened her mouth to persuade her, but in the end she just sighed and said nothing.
In the master bedroom upstairs, Huo Sili, who was about to take a shower in the bathroom, opened the closet and his eyes fell on the pajamas that Jiang Qin often wore, and his gaze did not move away for a long time.
Suddenly, the cell phone on the bedside table rang.
Huo Sili picked up the phone and saw who was calling, his pupils shrank instantly.
