Chapter 90 I have nothing to apologize for
After going out, Jiang Qia realized what a fool he was.
She was warm in the house and didn't feel cold at all. She even felt a little thirsty after eating too many dried fruits. She went outside and drank a sip of cold water, which made her feel cold from head to toe.
Jiang Qia stuffed the water back into his coat pocket.
"precisely."
A familiar voice came from behind, and Jiang Qia turned around.
Huo Xiulin looked at her with a smile, "How have you been lately?"
Jiang Qia nodded: "Very good, brother-in-law, you should call me sister-in-law."
The smile on Huo Xiulin's face disappeared instantly.
Jiang Qia had nothing to say to him.
The two of them have different tempers and personalities, and they can't even be friends.
At the beginning, You Zhi and her agent slandered Jiang Qia online, and Huo Xiulin exposed her address to force her to move. Jiang Qia remembered every detail clearly.
Just because she didn't retaliate harshly doesn't mean she forgave these people.
"I was very immature in the past two years." Huo Xiulin said softly, "I'm sorry about you marrying Huo Wenyi."
The original owner had been secretly in love with Huo Xiulin for many years. She saw Huo Xiulin's girlfriends changing like water, and even pursued Yu Lili, who worked in the same company, in a fit of rage. She wanted to drug Huo Xiulin and force him to marry her after the success.
At that time, Huo Xiulin plotted against both Jiang Qia and Huo Wenyi in one fell swoop. First, he got rid of a burden who liked him, and then he passed the blame to his elder brother Huo Wenyi, whom he hated and envied. He was very proud of himself.
In just one year, Huo Xiulin suddenly realized that among all the women who had liked him, Jiang Qia seemed to be the only one who was sincere.
I just like him as a person, not his identity as the son of the Huo family.
It seems too late to realize this now.
Huo Xiulin stared at Jiang Qia's slightly pale face, his eyes moving around. It was too late, but it didn't mean it couldn't be salvaged.
Jiang Qia said: "There's nothing to be sorry about. It has nothing to do with you anymore."
"Do you know what I just said to Huo Wenyi?"
A hint of suspicion flashed in Jiang Qia's eyes.
Huo Xiulin smiled slightly: "The project I'm working on now is what Huo Wenyi's company will do next year. Several employees of his company jumped ship and came to me with confidential information."
Jiang Qia frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about? These people have signed confidentiality agreements. They can't switch to similar companies, nor can they-"
"I paid them a hefty penalty for breach of contract." Huo Xiulin's expression was a little amused. "Guess what I just said to Huo Wenyi?"
Jiang Qia's heart suddenly turned cold: "What did you say?"
"It was you," Huo Xiulin said. "I told Huo Wenyi that it was you who stole these secrets from his study and handed them to me."
Jiang Qia's face turned pale instantly. He took out a mineral water bottle from his pocket and smashed it on Huo Xiulin's head: "Huo Xiulin, are you sick?"
Huo Xiulin is over 1.8 meters tall, which is more than enough to suppress Jiang Qia.
He snatched the bottle from Jiang Qia's hand and threw it aside.
With a crisp "bang", the glass bottle shattered into pieces on the ground in an instant, and the liquid quickly solidified into broken ice.
Huo Xiulin said, "You're the one who's sick! Qiqihar, you used to call me brother and never dared to hit me. Did you know that the blow you just struck would make my head bleed? You're happy just because you beat me into a fool?"
Jiang Qia was almost pissed to death by Huo Xiulin!
After the original owner married Huo Wenyi, she was indeed moved by Lu Huilan and Old Madam Huo's sweet words, and helped Huo Xiulin steal all kinds of things from Huo Wenyi's residence.
Although Jiang Qia did nothing during this period, everything that happened in the past was real.
Moreover, Jiang Qia can indeed enter and exit Huo Wenyi's room at will. If she really looks through Huo Wenyi's computer and files, she might really be able to see secrets that others cannot see.
Jiang Qia really didn't look at anything he shouldn't have.
The key is that she has absolutely no way to prove her innocence.
Once a person is discovered for having done something bad, even if he didn't do it the second or third time, as long as someone points out it was him, countless people will firmly believe that it was him.
Jiang Qia could accept being suspected or alienated by other people, but she could not accept being suspected by Huo Wenyi now.
Even thinking about this possibility would make her feel a subtle pain in her heart.
But how should she explain so that Huo Wenyi would believe her?
"How could you do this?" Jiang Qia really wanted to pry open his head to see what he was thinking, "Huo Xiulin, you——"
"I just miss the time long, long ago when Huo Wenyi hadn't returned yet. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have changed your mind." Huo Xiulin said coldly, "He was just a stray dog that no one wanted. We are from the same world."
Jiang Qia's mind was in a mess and he could no longer hear what he was saying.
A figure approached from a distance. Huo Xiulin's expression changed slightly, and he changed his tone again: "Qia Qia, do you still remember when you were little, you were at the Huo family once, and it was the same weather. You were playing around and made a snowman, and you had a high fever in the middle of the night. You didn't let your mother accompany you, and asked me to stay with you all night. The next morning, you told me that you would always follow me, and wherever I go, you would go there too."
Huo Wenyi paused.
Then, he raised his hand and pressed it on Jiang Qia's shoulder, pulling Jiang Qia to his side. The slightly cool woody scent from the man swept over and surrounded Jiang Qia.
Huo Xiulin raised his eyebrows and smiled, looking nonchalant: "Big Brother."
Huo Wenyi didn't say anything and just punched him.
Although Huo Wenyi is usually gentle and polite, he has been exercising all year round. The power of this punch made Huo Xiulin completely stunned. He felt dizzy and everything seemed to slow down. It was a long time before he realized that he was bleeding and even two of his teeth were broken.
"Don't bring up childhood memories. No one stays in the past." Huo Wenyi said calmly, "Stay away from your sister-in-law."
Jiang Qia staggered behind Huo Wenyi, still thinking about what Huo Xiulin had just said, and walked forward, looking back every few steps.
Huo Wenyi tightly grasped Jiang Qia's slender wrist, looking completely different from his previous gentle and refined image. "Jiang Qia, are you feeling sorry for him?"
Jiang Qia had never heard him speak in such a cold tone before. She recalled what Huo Xiulin had just mentioned and was momentarily evasive and panicked: "I—"
"He's not dead." Huo Wenyi repeated his previous words in a cold and chilling tone, "He's not dead yet, don't worry about his condition."
