Chapter 39 The Humble Pursuit of His Wife in Progress
Not wanting to meet Huo Sili's gaze, Jiang Qin subconsciously tried to look away, but before she could shift her gaze, Huo Sili's eyes were like a chain with iron claws in a martial arts movie, instantly grabbing and locking her in place.
Jiang Qin frowned. Even if she shifted her gaze again, Huo Sili's gaze on her face could not be ignored.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Su Lejia, standing beside her, was instantly enraged. "Fine, you scumbag...!"
Just as she finished speaking, Jiang Qin took Su Lejia's hand reassuringly. Su Lejia naturally understood that Jiang Qin was worried about her, especially considering the two cars opposite them.
The parts for that Cullinan could buy several of her BMWs; they and the two opposite them were not even in the same social class.
As an adult, Su Lejia naturally understood this, but she was still angry.
My best friend was driven to the point of attempting suicide by cutting her wrists to save her pregnancy because of a scumbag boyfriend. How can I bear this?!
But she managed to keep her mouth shut, though she couldn't resist looking at him—Su Lejia gave Huo Sili a big eye roll. His usually bright and lovely face now looked like a cold and smelly outhouse in a mud house in winter.
Huo Sili pretended not to see her and walked towards Jiang Qin. As he passed Huo Chishen, it was as if he finally noticed that there was someone there.
She looked down and glanced at her brother, who was in the wheelchair and listed on the household registration book. When she opened her mouth, it was as if she had poison on it.
"The weather's nice today. Why doesn't my older brother go to his rehabilitation and instead comes here to see my sister-in-law? What's gotten into him?"
Huo Sili looked at Huo Chishen, his face devoid of any emotion as he spoke, appearing completely indifferent.
But anyone with eyes could see that this man was in a bad mood, especially after hearing Horstley continue speaking to the man in the wheelchair—
"The doctors at Xiuyuan's hospital are so bored. Mom said, 'Brother, you're kind-hearted. Why don't you do something kind and go over there to see the neurology department to liven up the hospital atmosphere? Add some fun to the doctors' and nurses' work?'"
That's a really harsh thing to say.
Unaware of the brothers' situation and completely a stranger, Su Lejia couldn't help but twitch her lips upon hearing this.
He then looked at Jiang Qin and gave her a very obvious wink: What's going on between them? Why are they talking like that?
But in fact, Jiang Qin also wanted to ask what was going on, because it was the first time she had ever seen Huo Sili speak to Huo Chishen like that.
However, the curiosity only lasted for a second before dissipating—after a day and a half of rest, although the sharp, stinging pain in my wrist had subsided considerably, there was still a lingering pain from time to time, and each time the wounds hurt, it was like a wake-up call.
She was constantly reminded that only by escaping, and indeed escaping, Horsley could she and her child survive.
"Lele, let's get in the car." The BMW was parked nearby. Jiang Qin took Su Lejia's hand, no longer caring what the two men who came over were thinking, and pulled her best friend straight towards the BMW.
Su Lejia, realizing what was happening, couldn't agree more. After all, as an outsider, she could clearly sense a dangerous atmosphere permeating the two people in front of her.
Su Lejia had read quite a few old-fashioned CEO romance novels during her teenage years. Although there's a certain distance between novels and reality, some things described in the novels are actually true.
The power struggles within wealthy families that are reported in the news are sometimes more exciting and cruel than novels!
Huo Sili called the handsome man in the wheelchair "brother," so it's likely that the handsome man in the wheelchair is the older brother Huo Sili that Jiang Qin mentioned before.
Such a handsome man, who didn't seem stupid at all, how did he end up in a wheelchair?
She might be curious if she were reading a novel, but this was her reality, and to be honest, Su Lejia wasn't curious at all.
Right now, all she wants is to get her best friend away as quickly as possible, the farther the better, hoping that her Qinqin will be safe.
The BMW drove away, and Horst did not chase after it.
He Xu was very annoyed in the driver's seat of the black Cullinan that had stopped behind him.
However, his frustration lasted less than three seconds before he was nearly scared to death.
"Second Young Master! What are you doing?! Let go of our young master!!"
As Huo Sili watched the BMW drive away, he suddenly turned around and leaned down to face Huo Chishen, who was sitting in a wheelchair next to him. He grabbed Huo Chishen's collar and forced him to get closer to him.
Huo Chishen's face turned red almost instantly, his brows furrowed, and he looked extremely uncomfortable.
The maid in the wheelchair gasped in surprise, and Huo Chishen's bodyguard in the car was also terrified and quickly got out to stop her.
However, facing Huo Sili, the current true head of the Huo family, no one dared to lay a hand on him and could only keep trying to dissuade him.
He Xu couldn't bear to watch any longer and rushed over, trying to pull Huo Sili's hand away. "Mr. Huo! Mr. Huo! Please calm down!"
After thinking for a moment, He Xu said again, "If you hurt the young master, what will Secretary Jiang and the old lady think of you? Please let go of his hand and let's talk things out."
Upon hearing a certain keyword, Huo Sili's gaze, which had been as still as dead water, finally began to change.
The force in his hand lessened until it disappeared, and at this moment Huo Chishen's face had turned purplish-red, which frightened the servants and bodyguards around him so much that their hearts pounded. When Huo Sili let go, they quickly tried to move the wheelchair backward.
He didn't move. Huo Sili held the side of the wheelchair, and He Xu's heart, which hadn't completely settled down, jumped again.
Fortunately, this time Horstley didn't make a move; he just said something.
But those words were truly horrifying to some of the people present.
"Brother, you probably don't want to experience that car accident I had eight years ago again, do you?"
Huo Chishen's eyes flashed with surprise, but in the blink of an eye, his face was filled with confusion.
“Sili, I don’t understand what you’re talking about, but I hope you won’t do what you did today in front of Grandma and Mom, so as not to hurt their feelings.”
After saying that, Huo Chishen glanced at a servant beside him. The servant understood and quickly pushed Huo Chishen toward the car. Several bodyguards watched Huo Sili nervously. Seeing that no one stopped them, they quickly followed.
The car drove away quickly, and He Xu, standing next to Huo Sili, had a strange expression on his face.
Just as he looked at Huo Sili as if to ask something, the man also walked towards the car, so he had to swallow his words and follow him into the car.
However, upon hearing Huo Sili's next instruction, He Xu's eyes lit up. "Yes!"
Just over half an hour later, He Xu became depressed again.
The luxury car drove up to the apartment building where Su Lejia lived. Because it was the weekend, there were quite a few people out and about at this time.
Many people were looking at the car from the left and right, but Huo Sili showed no intention of getting out.
We have to wait downstairs!
He Xu wanted to say something, such as, "You didn't eat much at lunchtime because of your business dinner, how late are you going to wait?"
For example, if you want to get your wife's forgiveness, just waiting won't work. Why don't you try going upstairs to apologize in person?
But the car was eerily quiet. The partition wasn't raised, and He Xu felt like there was a huge freezer in the back, the kind that was open and couldn't be closed! The cold air kept coming out, making him feel uneasy, so he only dared to think about it.
Upstairs, Jiang Qin followed Su Lejia out of the elevator. As they opened the door, two men greeted them in the entryway, one in front and one behind.
Walking in front was Zhou Junxuan, Su Lejia's boyfriend whom Jiang Qin knew, and also her former high school classmate.
Jiang Qin greeted him politely, and Zhou Junxuan was about to introduce the person behind him to her.
Not wanting Jiang Qin to see, she first asked in confusion, "Xie Youan?"
Downstairs, Huo Sili, who hadn't smoked in ages, rolled down his car window, a burning crimson cigarette between his long, slender fingers.
As He Xu, who had been staring blankly into the driver's seat, looked up, he suddenly noticed a car in the parking space ahead, and his eyelids twitched.
Finally, unable to hold back any longer, he pointed at a white Mercedes-Benz in front of him and boldly offered his advice.
"Mr. Huo, why don't you go up and take a look? That Mercedes looks like Mr. Xie's car."
