Chapter 226 Creative Ways to Pursue a Wife
The maids around him shuddered instantly, and the bodyguards who came up behind him also looked at Huo Sili nervously for a moment.
However, a somewhat hoarse voice was heard saying—
"Don't go, I'm leaving."
The man's voice broke the momentary silence in the room as he strode toward the elevator, his pace unwavering.
The maids and bodyguards around him were stunned. At the same time, they dared not breathe and stood up straight against the wall, afraid of accidentally offending this man.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the large, single-level apartment, some distance away, Jiang Qin, who was holding Tian Tian, was also somewhat stunned.
What did Horstley just say? He said they stay and he leaves?
Thinking of Huo Sili three years ago, Jiang Qin suddenly wanted to laugh.
But soon, Jiang Qin dismissed the memories that had surfaced in her mind.
He looked at his daughter in his arms.
In her arms, Tian Tian blinked her big eyes, looking confused and clearly not understanding what was going on.
but……
"Mommy, that strange uncle seemed to be crying again?"
As the elevator descended, Tian Tian looked at Jiang Qin.
The child's clear, innocent voice perfectly captured the nuances of Huo Sili's emotions.
"Sweetie saw the weirdo's eyes, they were so red, just like, just like a rabbit's! A white rabbit's eyes!"
The moment the words left her mouth, silence fell over the surroundings, and Qiu Huilan's expression became noticeably complicated.
Jiang Qin pursed her pink lips, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately did not answer the question.
Instead, she brushed it off, saying, "Really? Mommy wasn't looking just now."
He then looked at Tian Tian and gently changed the subject: "Now that Uncle has gone downstairs, does Tian Tian still want to go home?"
During our chat, the old lady Qiu Huilan mentioned that knowing they were coming today, she specially asked the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous lunch, saying it was all dishes that she and Tiantian liked to eat—a whole table full, guaranteed to make the mother and daughter happy.
She also said that she had been abroad for three years, and although it wasn't obvious from the video, she looked thinner in person than she had three years ago. She felt that she must not have been eating as well as she had in China. Her words were full of concern for her as an elder, and she was told to eat more later.
She also said that if she liked any particular dish and wanted to eat it recently, she would have it prepared and delivered to her.
Therefore, the question Jiang Qin asked the old lady when she picked up on Tian Tian's words was not what she truly meant.
Her original plan was to take Tian Tian away from the third floor and hide somewhere else, then contact Sister Wu to secretly pass on a message to see when Huo Sili would leave. After receiving the message, she would take Tian Tian back to the third floor, or go somewhere else.
After all, the estate is so big, there must be a place where she and the old lady can have lunch together.
Next, there's her beloved grandmother. It would be too impolite to leave after the elders have prepared such thoughtful gifts and food.
One is her own flesh and blood, her beloved daughter, and naturally, her daughter's feelings also need to be taken care of.
In such situations, it is naturally the right thing to do to take both sides into account.
So from the very beginning, Jiang Qin never considered choosing between the two options and just went home as she said.
Huo Sili's behavior truly surprised Jiang Qin.
As it turns out, Jiang Qin is a very good mother and understands her daughter very well.
In her arms, Tian Tian shook her head, a little embarrassed: "Mommy, if that weird uncle leaves, Tian Tian won't leave."
As she spoke, she looked at the old lady, eagerly admitting her mistake and reaching out for a hug: "Grandma, I'm sorry, Tian Tian wanted to stay."
Who wouldn't love such a well-behaved and sensible great-granddaughter?
The old lady's heart immediately warmed and softened—
Listen to this! She's so young and already knows how to apologize and express her feelings properly. Isn't that better than her brat?
At that moment, Qiu Huilan even had the idea of rebelling against the Heavenly Gang.
That's right, tsk, that brat of hers really needs to learn a thing or two from his daughter.
I'm 31 years old this year, but I can't express my emotions as well as a toddler under three!
However, upon thinking of this, a complex look flashed in Qiu Huilan's eyes, and the thought that had just popped up vanished instantly.
However, Qiu Huilan, Jiang Qin, and the others were unaware of this at the moment.
Horstley will be showing up again soon.
At lunchtime, the kitchen staff pushed the food carts to the elevator.
I was startled when I got to the elevator.
He hurriedly greeted the person hiding in the shadows of the wall: "Master, Master, good afternoon!"
Horst stepped forward and grasped the handle of the food cart with remarkable ease.
"Go and rest, I'll personally deliver this car."
maid:"……"
Huo Sili's voice was indifferent: "Any objections?"
The servant dared not, and hurriedly withdrew her hand.
"Yes, yes, Master, please see me out."
