Chapter 80 The Truth
Jiang Qin had no idea that Lu Xiuyuan's trip was not for anything important at all.
It was because about half an hour ago.
He was leisurely enjoying his morning tea when he suddenly received a message on his phone from his good friend asking for help in an emergency.
Qinqin hasn't replied to my messages. Could you go over there and check on her for me?
What are you looking at?
Look at your wife?
Isn't that a bad idea?
That's what Lu Xiuyuan was thinking, but of course he couldn't say it out loud.
Because the area where Horstley went was affected by a natural disaster, coupled with inadequate local medical assistance, the work could not proceed, some people were still missing, and a mountain of problems piled up.
I guess Horstley is either extremely busy right now, or he's finished and is completely exhausted.
Otherwise, given his personality, why would he be willing to let anyone other than himself take care of his wife?
Thinking about it this way, and then looking at myself leisurely enjoying morning tea.
For the first time in a long time, Lu Xiuyuan felt a pang of conscience. Thinking of his brother's helpless state, he decided to help him out after all.
However, for Jiang Qin, while Lu Xiuyuan was indeed Huo Sili's good brother, Wen Chen was also Huo Sili's brother.
But last time I went to the Wen family, I saw Wen Chen and his daughter, that adorable little girl.
Wasn't Horstley just as crazy and jealous?
The less trouble, the better.
Jiang Qin politely declined.
After this polite refusal, Lu Xiuyuan didn't say anything more, and Jiang Qin couldn't help but feel that it was all just her imagination.
Lu Xiuyuan is fine; he's quite sensible.
Perhaps it was because they hadn't seen each other for so long, and out of respect for Horstley, that they asked that question earlier.
But Jiang Qin didn't care about the actual situation.
As soon as Jiang Qin left, Lu Xiuyuan almost simultaneously took out his phone, edited a few messages, and sent them.
On the other side, in the Western Hemisphere, it was already close to midnight local time in Horsley.
I had fallen asleep earlier, but I just woke up again. I saw that Lu Xiuyuan had replied to my message saying he was going to the Huo family, so I held my phone and waited for further news.
Upon hearing the noise, Horstley unlocked the door almost immediately.
He raised the hand holding the phone to his face.
Then, Horst's expression became complicated.
But the anxiety I felt gradually subsided.
It's good that she's alright.
As for the others.
Huo Sili lowered his dark eyes, pursed his lips, typed his thanks, put his phone aside, and closed his eyes to sleep.
talk later.
……
My condition was poor, and my efficiency was worrying. I worked until six o'clock before I finally finished my work for the day.
It's rush hour right now, and the elevators are packed. It takes several trips before they get less crowded.
Jiang Qin didn't want to squeeze in, so she decided to rest at her workstation.
She's been getting hungry a lot lately, so she bought herself some short-shelf-life foods that are safe for pregnant women, with few additives and low sugar content. She keeps a few in her bag with her, and now that she's hungry, she's had a glass of warm water.
I took a bite and ate it with warm water.
But perhaps because I was too tired, I started to feel sleepy while eating, and only woke up suddenly when someone approached the door and I heard a knocking sound.
Everyone's already off work, who would come here?
Jiang Qin didn't understand, but she quickly stopped eating and politely said, "Please come in."
But when Jiang Qin saw who came in, she was completely stunned.
"grandmother?"
It was indeed Qiu Huilan who entered. However, behind Qiu Huilan was a group of plainclothes servants, all surrounding the old lady.
Qiu Huilan looked at Jiang Qin with a kind and friendly expression, and when she saw the old lady come in, Jiang Qin quickly got up and went over to help her.
Qiu Huilan took Jiang Qin's hand, clearly pleased.
"Didn't the doctor tell Grandma to walk around more? This afternoon, Grandma went to the gold shop and the flower shop."
"Alright, Qinqin, are you done with your work? Let's go home and try on the gold bracelet Grandma bought for you to see if it fits your wrist."
"Grandma, I also bought you a bouquet of flowers, several different combinations, they're so beautiful. Let's go home now."
As she spoke, the old lady took Jiang Qin's hand in her own, showing exceptional enthusiasm.
Jiang Qin glanced at the unfinished food on the table, but ultimately didn't take it.
If something is discovered again, it would be a case of losing more than you gain.
"Okay," Jiang Qin replied.
I simply agreed, but my feelings were quite complicated.
Especially when I saw how much the old lady cherished her, my eyes welled up with tears.
However, Jiang Qin quickly shook off those negative thoughts.
After all, although the old lady really wanted her to be with Huo Sili, she didn't believe that if she knew what Huo Sili had said to her, the old lady would still insist that she be with Huo Sili.
The most urgent matter is still the old lady's illness.
However, the doctor said that if the old lady persists with acupuncture every two days for two months, she can be cured completely.
Once the old lady is fully recovered, she will immediately reveal the truth hidden beneath the seemingly harmonious marriage.
……
Before we knew it, Tuesday arrived, the day for Horstley to return to Beijing.
Perhaps because Huo Sili was coming back today, Jiang Qin was somewhat absent-minded all morning.
It wasn't joy, but rather frustration.
Couldn't he have taken a longer trip?
Clearly, Horstley was not only incapable, but also arrogant.
I've landed, come pick me up.
Jiang Qin: "..."
Pretend not to see it and continue working.
Horsley suddenly sent a second message—
Grandma's coming too, wouldn't it be a bit unreasonable for you not to come?
