Chapter 176 Quick! Stop the Second Young Master!!!
Chapter 176 Quick! Stop the Second Young Master!!!
It's clear, however, that sometimes when fate runs its course, it's over and can't be forcibly brought back.
At the Huo family's old residence, Qiu Huilan heard the sob in Huo Sili's voice, and her heart softened after all, especially since Huo Sili handed her the phone and, in front of everyone, pressed the record playback button.
Then, everyone present heard what Li Xueqian said in the recording.
Knowing that what he said was true, this whole thing was Li Xueqian's doing, trying to use Huo Sili, the person she had saved before, as a shield for her own reputation.
However, Qiu Huilan, out of pity, dialed the number for her.
But Jiang Qin's phone was switched off.
The first time, the phone was off. When Huo Sili asked her to dial again, it was still off.
I contacted Aunt Zhao, who said that Jiang Qin was having dinner and had already gone upstairs. She didn't seem to have much of an appetite for dinner, so she ate a little and went upstairs.
However, the bodyguard on duty outside just now looked up and saw Jiang Qin looking at the flowers in the rooftop garden, so nothing should happen.
Clearly, Zhao Ma had misunderstood what the old lady and Huo Sili meant.
But knowing that Jiang Qin had probably already let go and her heart was at peace, she was so indifferent that she even turned off her phone and didn't even think about asking Huo Sili to explain anything.
Adding to this Zhao Ma's response, and the fact that Jiang Qin had specifically come to the old house this morning to bring up the matter of divorce, she was further affected.
Clearly, she was determined to leave. Therefore, as someone who had been through it all in her seventies, the old lady Qiu Huilan also felt that the marriage between these two younger people had developed to this point and it was indeed time to end it.
After all, Qiu Huilan naturally understood that principle: explanation is based solely on acceptance.
If a person doesn't accept another person, or even rejects them, then no matter how compelling the other person's explanation is, it will be weak, powerless, and unbelievable to that person.
Qiu Huilan hadn't expected this development. When she made the call, she actually held onto a bit of wishful thinking, hoping that it might explain things and make Jiang Qin less disgusted with Huo Sili.
But this is the reality of the development, and Qiu Huilan thinks it's alright.
After all, for someone to disappoint his wife so much, it's likely that, without her knowledge, Huo Sili has done many things that have disappointed his precious granddaughter-in-law, Qinqin.
Otherwise, how could a child like Qinqin, who values relationships so much, be so heartless as to not even give Huo Sili a chance to explain?
Qiu Huilan herself could accept this reality, but Huo Sili clearly could not.
"Grandma, can you send a message? If you send a message, Qinqin can see it too."
Qiu Huilan glanced at Huo Sili, but this time she shook her head.
Huo Sili's already red eyes instantly turned completely red.
"Grandma...!" He took long strides, trying to catch up.
With a single glance from Qiu Huilan, the two bodyguards who had followed her downstairs rushed over from the elevator entrance.
At Qiu Huilan's prompting, she stopped Huo Sili from following.
The old lady was in charge of her own affairs. When she was young, she ran a big business and needed bodyguards. Her favorite thing to do was to train bodyguards. She always felt that seeing those young people strong and energetic made her feel energetic too.
The two men who stopped Huo Sili at this moment were two proper martial arts practitioners carefully trained by the old lady.
Normally, if a real fight broke out, Horstley might not necessarily lose, but at this moment, Horstley's back was still bleeding, old wounds had not healed and new wounds had been added, his condition was obviously not good, and making a move now would undoubtedly only have the opposite effect.
Huo Sili's eyes were dull and lifeless, and his handsome, pale face suddenly turned ashen.
At this point, he finally realized how terribly wrong he had been.
His marriage with her was beyond repair, and not just the marriage, but their relationship over the past four years was about to be completely destroyed because of this lie he told, and because of the ridiculous kindness he showed to Li Xueqian this time.
"Mr. Huo, would you... would you like to get this bandaged up first?"
He Xu had already returned to his residence when he received Yuan Lianqing's message, so he rushed over.
When he received the message, he couldn't believe it. But as soon as he arrived, before he even entered the house, a gust of wind blew in, and he keenly detected the smell of rust in the air.
He Xu was instantly shocked.
He rushed in and saw a distraught-looking man standing at the elevator entrance, being stopped by two bodyguards who were about the same height as him.
He Xu was genuinely afraid that this man would faint again, after all, Huo Chishen and Yuan Lianqing were still outside—
On the surface, the person in charge of the Huo family, namely the head of the family, has not yet been truly determined. The one who actually holds real power in the Huo family is not the old master, but the old lady.
Now that he has upset the old lady over this matter, if something else goes wrong, he fears that the woman outside might have some ulterior motives, which would be very detrimental to President Huo.
Thinking of this, He Xu became even more careful and couldn't help but reach out to help.
However, just as his hand reached halfway into the air, the man in front of him suddenly seemed to have a change of heart and turned around.
Just as He Xu was about to make way, Huo Sili strode out with a cold and desolate air, his eyes frighteningly red.
The direction it was facing was clearly that of the garage.
Realizing this, He Xu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly took off after him.
At that moment, Yuan Lianqing, who had been standing at the door, instinctively shielded Huo Chishen behind her, and then opened her mouth as if she wanted to speak to Huo Sili.
But before even half a syllable could be uttered, *whoosh*—
The wind blew through the hem of Hoss's dress, so fast that it created a double image.
Yuan Lianqing's eyes widened, and she was stunned for a moment before turning her head to look. Huo Sili had already walked most of the way towards the garage.
Jiang Qin felt quite at ease by herself at Moonlit Bay. After having dinner and taking a walk, she went back to her room to take a shower.
There was a wall clock, so even though the machine was off, the time was still clearly visible.
I was still feeling a bit energetic after taking a shower, so I picked up a book to read. As I read, I got sleepy, so I went inside, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.
I thought about some things before going to sleep, and then my mood became even calmer.
This week, she taught Fu Rongying everything she could about her work.
I have virtually no work on hand right now, and many things can be handled entirely online.
So, although she should go to work tomorrow in principle, not going to the company is no longer a big problem for her these days.
Furthermore, after something like this happened, Huo Sili probably didn't even think about how to face her, right?
In that case, she doesn't plan to go to the Huo family's office in person tomorrow. She'll see them one last time on Wednesday, depending on the situation.
With that thought in mind, Jiang Qin quickly fell asleep.
Therefore, Jiang Qin was completely unaware that the black Cullinan had broken through the night and driven towards the villa along the streetlights.
Moreover, at this very moment, Jiang Qin was already fast asleep on the large bed in the bedroom.
"Who's there? This is a private villa. Unauthorized personnel, please leave immediately! Otherwise..."
Meanwhile, the bodyguards at the entrance of Moonlight Bay Villa were shocked.
After all, Moonlit Bay is built on a mountainside, a location with excellent feng shui and a strong mountain backing. However, there is a "roadblock" at the foot of the mountain – an advanced intelligent detection system installed at the foot of the mountain. If a car does not have the necessary permissions, it simply cannot get up there.
But who is this? Coming here so late at night? It can't be an old lady, can it?
They were well aware of the old lady's situation. It was so late, she should have been tidying up and resting, so she definitely wouldn't have come here. Besides, she usually traveled by nanny van.
This Cullinan doesn't look like something an old lady would ride in.
However, as they were talking, the driver's side window suddenly rolled down, revealing the coldest-faced member of the Huo family sitting in the seat.
The bodyguards who came forward immediately changed their expressions, their faces showing shock and their hearts filled with vigilance.
"Second Young Master," the bodyguard's tone and volume suddenly rose strangely, silently reminding the men around him, "You, what brings you here? What, what brings you here?"
As the bodyguard spoke, everyone couldn't help but look at the license plate of the black Cullinan.
They then confirmed that they hadn't mistaken him for someone else—they recognized the Cullinan that Horstley usually drove, but this one wasn't the one he usually drove, so they hadn't expected the person to be Horstley.
After all, the second young master had been quite "well-behaved" these past few days. He hadn't come since that last visit, so she assumed the other party was afraid of upsetting the old lady and wouldn't come again.
To everyone's surprise, the person who came late at night was none other than Huo Sili!
At that moment, the bodyguards raised their voices.
The bodyguards around them immediately rushed over.
Their well-trained appearance belies whether they are truly difficult to deal with.
But this imposing aura was undoubtedly well-controlled.
Even so, the bodyguards on duty were still somewhat reluctant to clash with Huo Sili, after all, he was their master, and it would be a shame if they, as a group of people, beat him up.
Then they're probably not far from being kicked out of the team.
But we can't lose in terms of momentum, and we must also do a good job of protecting the second young mistress.
Therefore, at this moment, everyone was staring intently at Horst, like wolves.
Unexpectedly, in a flash, Horstley rolled up the car window again.
One clock.
Two clocks.
Four hours...
The bodyguards were starting to doze off, and the car hadn't driven away yet.
The men looked at each other and sighed inwardly.
Thinking that the second young master came here tonight, could it be that he was determined to wear them down?
But is there any need to drag this out? It's obvious that the one with more people will win!
The bodyguards took turns sleeping and standing guard, but who knew that once this rotation mode was started, it was already dawn the next day when it was over!
The bodyguard, who could have gone back to his room to sleep, harbored deep resentment.
Just then, the car door was opened.
Looking at it this way, I felt more at peace.
Well, the man who slept in the car all night looks even worse than them!
But what, what's this smell?
The bodyguard on duty was wondering what smell he had caught when he suddenly saw something, and his heart jumped!
"Second, Second Young Master, you can't go in!!"
"Quick! Stop the second young master!!!"
