Chapter 63 These past four years have really been tough on you.
Huo Sili stared at Jiang Qin, remaining silent for a long time.
Jiang Qin met Huo Sili's gaze, her expression remaining calm.
A long silence spread between the two, and the stillness and coldness quickly filled every inch of the hall.
Finally, his tall figure moved, clearly heading towards the door.
Seeing this, Jiang Qin slowly relaxed.
However, the next second, she saw that Horstley was not walking away, but walking towards her.
Jiang Qin's pupils contracted slightly as she maintained her composure and quickly adjusted her expression.
Horst stopped in front of her, his eyes slightly lowered, the redness in his eyes earlier noticeably fading with the passage of time.
His eyes were long and dark. He looked down, his handsome face bathed in the soft light of the morning sun streaming through the French windows, but his underlying tone was clearly cold.
"Then why did you cut your wrists back then?"
Jiang Qin frowned slightly, her hand resting on the edge of the table curling up as she quickly analyzed his intention in asking the question.
However, before she could analyze it, Huo Sili looked into her eyes and immediately followed up with the answer, presenting it to her.
"Since you're going to divorce me anyway, why are you still upset by what I said?"
So that's what he thought.
Jiang Qin's heart was filled with complex emotions, a jumble of feelings, but when she met Huo Sili's eyes, her face remained completely calm.
"Because you are my husband."
Jiang Qin answered Huo Sili in a very indifferent tone.
How could someone as intelligent as Horstley not understand the subtext of those words?
She meant that it would be the same with anyone else.
It wasn't because of him, but because of his status.
Huo Sili's gaze suddenly shifted upwards as he looked at Jiang Qin, his entire body tensing instantly, and he stood up very straight.
back.
Jiang Qin watched him warily.
Time seemed to slow down as Horst's gaze returned to her, and a single sentence floated into the air.
"You must have suffered these past four years."
Jiang Qin's hand, which was resting on the edge of the table, suddenly clenched.
Huo Sili glanced at her indifferently, then turned and strode out.
Jiang Qin didn't turn her head. She could hear his footsteps slowly fading away, followed by the sound of wheels rolling.
The car drove away completely, and nothing could be heard anymore.
Jiang Qin sat down and looked back outside.
Blue sky and white clouds, clear skies for miles.
There were no people or cars in sight.
After calming herself down, Jiang Qin looked back at the dining table and started eating breakfast.
More than half an hour later, Wang Ma came to clear the tableware as usual.
I saw that the porridge in front of Horstley's table was clearly untouched, and the chopsticks were spotless.
Wang Ma looked at Jiang Qin, who was about to go for a walk in the garden.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but closed it after a few seconds.
He looked at the dining table and sighed deeply.
……
Although Su Lejia wasn't too busy this week, she still went to work as usual today, from nine to six.
The three sisters decided to have dinner at 6:30.
When Wang Ma heard that Jiang Qin was going out for dinner that night, she wanted to sigh again, but she held back when she faced Jiang Qin directly.
Instead, he instructed, "Yes, madam. Please be careful on the road and try to come back as early as possible tonight."
He added, "You don't need to take a taxi; let Uncle Yang take you."
Uncle Yang was originally arranged by Old Madam Huo to be Jiang Qin's personal driver. He was responsible for picking her up and dropping her off at work.
Jiang Qin naturally had no objection to what Wang Ma said, after all, she wasn't someone who liked to stay out late at night.
Secondly, Uncle Yang is a veteran driver with over 20 years of experience. He used to drive tanks in the army, so she naturally felt more at ease with him than with ordinary drivers.
With Huo Sili not around and no one else allowed upstairs, Jiang Qin adjusted her mindset and felt very relaxed on her own.
I looked at some books about pregnancy and reviewed my professional knowledge before starting to prepare for joining the new company.
With such focus, excluding lunch and a midday rest, it was already six o'clock in the blink of an eye.
The phone seemed unusually quiet today, barely ringing from morning till night. Jiang Qin got into the car, and the car was quiet as well.
When Wang Ma couldn't help but mention in the group chat that Huo Sili had left Yunhai Huafu without having breakfast that morning, she couldn't help but say something about it.
Uncle Yang, who was in his forties and had been through a lot, naturally knew that the couple was definitely having a fight.
Although the news of Jiang Qin cutting her wrists last time did not spread outside, it did spread within the Huo family and Yunhai Hua Mansion, so Uncle Yang naturally knew about it as well.
He didn't dare say anything and just silently acted as the driver.
However, as soon as the car stopped, a handsome young man outside the restaurant rushed forward and hugged Jiang Qin.
He even kissed Jiang Qin's cheek, clearly very excited.
Uncle Yang's lips twitched: "..."
I couldn't resist picking up my phone and starting to record.
However, I don't have the guts to send it directly to Horstley.
Instead, he sent it to a three-person group and tagged He Xu.
Typing with trembling hands:
[My wife was kissed by another man!]
Another question:
Should we tell the second young master?
……
Meanwhile, at the Huo Group headquarters.
He Xu, who rarely gets scolded even once a month, has already been scolded by Huo Sili three times today.
At the same time that Uncle Yang sent the message, He Xu had not yet left work, but was accompanying Huo Sili and a group of senior executives in a meeting in the conference room.
The man in the main seat was issuing orders in a cold and aloof tone, while the executives around him, who usually acted arrogantly in front of their subordinates, were now all trembling with fear.
Hearing the notification sound, He Xu habitually opened his phone and glanced at it. He noticed it was a video that Uncle Yang had sent in the group, so he naturally didn't dare to open it at this moment.
However, just then, Horst's chilling gaze fell upon him.
He Xu, who had been inexplicably rebuked three times today, was a little stressed by Huo Sili's bleak autumn-wind-like gaze.
I intended to quickly exit the interface and turn off the phone, but this sudden reaction increased my speed and reduced my efficiency.
The interface did not return successfully.
I accidentally clicked on the video!
The clear and pleasant androgynous voice that uttered "I missed you so much, Qinqin" was indistinguishable between male and female.
And the video also recorded two exceptionally clear "muamua" kisses at the end.
Then it started playing...
In that instant, He Xu felt like he wanted to die. He quickly tried to turn it off, but Xie Zhiya's words and kissing of Jiang Qin were clearly much faster.
It wasn't turned off!
He Xu was terrified.
Although it's highly likely that the person who kissed Jiang Qin was the girl named Xie Zhiya, who dressed and acted like a boy, He Xu immediately exclaimed that it was a disaster.
And clearly, He Xu's concerns were not unfounded.
Upon hearing those sounds, Huo Sili's face turned cold almost imperceptibly.
He Xu reached up and wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, just about to say something to salvage the situation.
The tall, handsome man beside him suddenly stood up, his cold gaze sweeping over everyone present, and said in a deep voice.
"That concludes today's meeting."
"Please send the completed documents from each department to my office before noon tomorrow."
After saying that, Horst stood up and walked out, his steps so fast they created a gust of wind.
Everyone present was shrewd and immediately became curious upon seeing this.
I just want to ask He Xu something.
He Xu quickly packed up his documents and hurried after Huo Sili, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.
……
Su Lejia arrived at the restaurant on time.
I noticed Jiang Qin sitting in her seat from afar.
But Su Lejia didn't dare to go forward, for no other reason than that there was a handsome guy sitting opposite her.
No, what's going on?
Su Lejia sent a message to Jiang Qin, who replied instantly and turned around to wave at the same time.
"Lele, over here!"
Su Lejia then confirmed, "Okay, okay."
That incredibly handsome guy is Xie Zhiya.
Sure enough, when girls are cool, boys don't stand a chance.
Su Lejia walked over with a smile.
Just as he was about to pull out a seat, a figure strode in from another entrance of the restaurant.
A familiar, faint woody scent wafts on the wind.
Jiang Qin, who was about to invite Su Lejia to sit down, frowned almost instantly, but quickly realized that she must have asked the wrong question.
It could just be that someone here is wearing the same perfume, or like Horstley, they like to use that laundry detergent.
After all, she said those things this morning.
However, the next second, someone sat down in the booth next to them.
Huo Sili looked down at her, while Xie Zhiya, sitting opposite him, widened her eyes.
Jiang Qin and Huo Sili are secretly married; they only registered their marriage but didn't hold a wedding. Xie Zhiya actually has a strong sense of boundaries. Although they kiss on the cheek in person, she never talks about dating or marriage when they chat.
As for Jiang Qin's secret marriage with Huo Sili, she herself is very discreet, so it is perfectly normal for Xie Zhiya not to know Huo Sili's identity at this moment.
"Qinqin, who is this...?"
Xie Zhiya was completely stunned to see such a handsome man sit down next to Jiang Qin so naturally.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she saw this incredibly handsome man staring at her with a dark look in his eyes.
Xie Zhiya felt uneasy being stared at for no reason; her social anxiety, hidden beneath her cool and aloof exterior, was almost triggered.
Just as she opened her mouth to say something, Jiang Qin also wanted to introduce Huo Sili to Xie Zhiya.
However, before he could speak, Huo Sili looked Xie Zhiya up and down and said, "Hello, I am her husband, Huo Sili."
As he spoke, he extended his right hand toward Xie Zhiya.
Xie Zhiya glanced at the hand, then blinked and looked at Jiang Qin.
