Chapter 70 He suddenly sobered up.
Outside the door, several bodyguards from the Wen family watched Huo Sili rush out, and then remembered Jiang Qin who had come out alone earlier.
They looked at each other in bewilderment.
At the entrance of the courtyard house, Jiang Qin took out her phone to hail a taxi, but after a moment's hesitation, she called Uncle Yang instead.
But no sooner had the call connected than familiar footsteps sounded hurriedly behind me.
Jiang Qin frowned slightly, and her steps, which had already stopped, suddenly lifted again as she continued walking towards the sidewalk.
Behind her, Huo Sili glanced at Jiang Qin's increasingly hurried steps, pursed his thin lips, and slowed his pace.
Jiang Qin and Uncle Yang were talking ahead, and Jiang Qin gave them the address.
Uncle Yang was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he said to Jiang Qin, "Yes, Madam, I'll be right there."
Jiang Qin hummed in agreement and looked around. She usually had a limited area to move around in. Apart from business trips, she would go to other places, and otherwise she would either stay at the Huo family's residence, the old mansion, or Yunhai Huafu.
In addition, this area is a favorite gathering place for the wealthy young men of Beijing's elite circles, and it is known in the circle as a social hub for extravagance and debauchery.
She is naturally quiet and has no interest in such places. After learning about the nature of that place, she is even less likely to go.
The surrounding environment was really unfamiliar. Jiang Qin wouldn't be afraid if she were alone, but since becoming pregnant, she had to consider the child more in her actions.
They finally stopped walking.
Although the temperature has dropped, the sun is still blazing at around 2 p.m., which is quite intense. Seeing a big tree by the roadside ahead, Jiang Qin went over there and stopped.
I also sent Uncle Yang photos of the surrounding area via WeChat so he could easily find it when the car arrived.
As soon as the photo was sent, Huo Sili arrived at Jiang Qin's side.
The afternoon breeze wasn't cold, but the faint woody scent emanating from him made Jiang Qin suddenly feel very cold.
He stopped liking her a long time ago.
So what he means is that he did like her, but stopped liking her a long time ago, right?
If that's the case, why has he been kissing her so often lately?
Is it because of the old lady?
That's why he pretended to still like her.
He didn't need to.
Jiang Qin's mind was in turmoil, but what was even more pronounced than the turmoil was probably the discomfort and nausea.
To reiterate, if he doesn't like her anymore, why did he have a relationship with her in the first place?
She had thought that the child was born out of love, but he said it himself today.
He stopped liking her a long time ago.
Then what is this child?
Is there any evidence that he and she had a relationship?
Jiang Qin pressed her lips tightly together.
I immediately found it incredibly funny.
This marriage turned out to be even more unbearable than she had imagined.
She was the clown from beginning to end, yet the clown actually thought he had found love.
“Qin…”
"I heard everything you said."
Huo Sili's voice had just begun when Jiang Qin interrupted him.
The elm tree above their heads was in the season of shedding its leaves.
The leaves began to change color, from green to red, orange and yellow. The leaves rustled in the wind, and occasionally a leaf would fall.
The withered, hardened leaves made a crisp sound as they touched the stone pavement, a final chorus of life.
Jiang Qin stood under the tree, looking up at Huo Sili.
She suddenly remembered that when Old Mrs. Huo introduced Huo Sili to her, she was told to marry her grandson.
This would satisfy her grandmother, Xiao Yuxiu, and also satisfy her, since her grandson, at twenty-four, had never had a girlfriend and was a complete novice in matters of the heart.
She told her that Horsley was a good boy and would definitely treat her well in the future, so she shouldn't worry.
Looking back now, the old lady was probably also deceived by Horstley.
My mind was racing with chaotic thoughts, but in reality, it was just a matter of a few fleeting moments.
Huo Sili was stunned after Jiang Qin finished speaking.
When he tried to speak a second sentence, Jiang Qin didn't intend to give him a chance to speak.
"Don't worry," Jiang Qin said first.
Having said that, she met his eyes and then continued.
"I'm not the kind of person who's unreasonable or domineering. Feelings are hard to explain. If you don't like me anymore, I accept it."
"No, Qinqin."
Jiang Qin looked at Huo Sili. In her memory, apart from social engagements, he never drank alcohol.
He would even drink tea instead of alcohol for most social occasions; in short, he was never the kind of man who liked to drink.
But now, the person in front of her was clearly drunk, his eyes were obviously not clear, and especially when he spoke, his breath smelled of alcohol, which made her very uncomfortable.
Alcohol has a blood-activating effect, so it's naturally not good for pregnant women to smell it, but Jiang Qin didn't try to resist.
The moment she smelled it, she strode to the side and moved quite a distance away.
This action was naturally noticed by Horst.
The man's slightly dazed eyes darkened in an instant.
I was about to say something when a car suddenly drove up at the intersection, making a loud rolling sound.
Horst frowned and looked toward the intersection.
Upon seeing what kind of car it was, Horst's eyes darkened even more.
Jiang Qin has good hearing, so she naturally heard the sound.
She naturally assumed that it was Uncle Yang who had driven to pick her up and take her back to the Huo family, so she subconsciously walked over.
But the person next to her was faster than her, and instead of heading towards the car, they were heading towards her!
Huo Sili suddenly moved closer, startling Jiang Qin. She instinctively turned around, but her waist reacted even faster. The man's large hand wrapped around her waist, clearly intending to force a kiss.
Jiang Qin was furious: "Hosley!"
His handsome face was magnified, capturing the moment Horst Lee kissed him.
Jiang Qin raised her hand with red eyes.
Snapped--!
With a crisp sound, Huo Chishen saw this scene as soon as he was carried down, and his sword-like eyebrows twitched slightly.
Horst remained motionless in the position of being slapped for a long time.
After a long while, Jiang Qin finally withdrew her hand, which had been hovering in mid-air, from the slap he was about to deliver.
Uncle Yang's car arrived at that moment. Jiang Qin took a deep breath to compose herself and walked towards the parked car.
My hands were shaking as I opened the car door to get in.
Huo Sili looked up and saw only the departing car; his drunkenness suddenly vanished.
