Chapter 165 "I'm sorry to her".
The elevator stopped on the third floor. After learning that the old man had gone for a run, only the old lady and Sister Wu and a group of maids were on the third floor. Jiang Qin, who sat down next to the old lady, looked at her and said.
"Grandma, I want to tell you something, just between us."
Qiu Huilan paused, perhaps sensing something, and her gaze lingered on Jiang Qin for a moment.
But soon, the old lady looked at Jiang Qin with a kind smile and said, "Okay."
Then he looked at the maids around him and said, "You may all leave. I want to have a private talk with the second young mistress."
Meanwhile, at the villa in the southern suburbs, He Xu was chatting quietly with several bodyguards waiting downstairs.
Suddenly, they heard a noise coming from the elevator entrance on the first floor, and everyone quickly shut their mouths.
He Xu strode inside and asked Huo Sili, who had come out, "Mr. Huo, are you going to the club?"
Recently, Horstley has been spending his time at the clubhouse, except in the southern suburbs.
Of course, he would never touch a woman. Having been by Huo Sili's side for many years, He Xu had never seen Huo Sili touch any woman other than Jiang Qin.
Oh, no, that's not right either. Chinese culture is profound and extensive, so simply saying "bump" is a bit inaccurate.
If we simply interpret "碰" as "touching", then Miss Li has certainly touched her, since just before, in front of so many people, President Huo gave her a princess carry.
Suddenly thinking about this, He Xu felt a little annoyed—yes, he was carrying another woman in a princess carry.
And if he remembered correctly, his wife seemed to be present at the time as well.
Tsk, watching your husband carry another woman in his arms, what girl could stand that?
And let alone girls, even if the girl he likes takes the initiative to hug another man, he would definitely feel very uncomfortable.
However, to his surprise, in the next second, He Xu suddenly heard something even more unpleasant.
"Not the club, but the hospital." Huo Sili's face was still somewhat dark, and his tone was icy.
These words left He Xu quite bewildered: "Hospital? Mr. Huo, which hospital do you want to go to?"
Then, as if remembering something, he became a little nervous, "Is it the military hospital, Mr. Huo? Is it the old lady...?"
But as he spoke, something felt off—hadn't the old lady's condition almost completely improved? Hadn't she been receiving acupuncture treatment recently? How could this be...?
Suddenly, Huo Sili interrupted him, saying, "No, it's Ancheng Private Hospital."
He Xu's expression instantly tightened. Ancheng Private Hospital? Isn't that... isn't that the hospital where Miss Li works?
Instantly, He Xu felt as if he had swallowed a fly, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
No, given the current situation, what time is it? Why would President Huo go to Ancheng Private Hospital? And he must be there to see Miss Li, right? Otherwise, why would he go to the hospital for no reason? Doesn't President Huo always call his family doctor for everything?
At the very least, they would go to Ruikang, why would they go to Ancheng? So, they must be going to see Miss Li.
Upon realizing this, He Xu's face instantly contorted into a bitter expression.
Before he could say anything, he saw Horstley striding toward the garage.
The pace was clearly hurried.
He Xu's face instantly scrunched up even more, and a few other thoughts popped into his head—
This... serves him right, no wonder his wife filed for divorce.
After all, not only did his wife not understand, but even he, as her confidant, truly did not understand the situation at this moment.
"So Grandma, do you... agree to this?"
Meanwhile, at the Huo family's old mansion, on the third floor of the main building, Jiang Qin earnestly expressed her desire to divorce Huo Sili to Qiu Huilan and then took the initiative to ask the old lady for her opinion.
And it was at this moment that she realized reality was completely different from what she had imagined—
When the day of divorce actually arrived, she didn't feel the timidity, nervousness, or even fear she had imagined beforehand.
There were no negative emotions; instead, I communicated with the old lady in a very peaceful and equal manner.
The old lady's reaction was different from what she had expected. She had thought that the old lady would have some difficulty accepting the news, but she didn't.
The old lady's level of acceptance far exceeded her expectations.
However, sadness was still there. After she asked that question, she soon heard the old lady sigh heavily.
But what happened next was completely unexpected by Jiang Qin—
The old lady, who was speaking, grasped her hands with both of them, saying, "Of course Grandma agrees, how could Grandma disagree?"
Without excessive sadness, the old lady looked at her with loving peace and gentle eyes.
"Qinqin, it's Sili who has wronged you. Grandma has actually seen it too. That boy is muddle-headed. When it comes to matters of the heart, he's like he's missing a screw."
"Divorce is fine, but Qinqin, even though you're divorced, are you still Grandma's Qinqin? Grandma and your grandma are best friends for life. Don't cut off contact with Grandma after you divorce that brat, okay?"
Meeting the old lady's wrinkled eyes, Jiang Qin, who never expected to cry, suddenly found her eyes filled with tears.
"Mmm." She heard herself solemnly hum in response.
"Grandma, I won't lose contact with you, don't worry."
"That's fine." Qiu Huilan released Jiang Qin's hand and opened her arms to hug Jiang Qin.
Qiu Huilan is a typical northern girl. When she was young, she was much taller than Jiang Qin. She has shrunk in age and is now shorter, but she can still easily hug Jiang Qin and hold her tightly.
The old lady gently patted Jiang Qin's back, her voice slightly choked with emotion.
"Grandma thought that marrying that brat would make you happy. If she had known that he was all that old for nothing, she definitely wouldn't have tied you together with him. Grandma is sorry for your grandma."
"I'm sorry to her."
"No, no one can predict matters of the heart, Grandma, please don't blame yourself." Jiang Qin straightened up from the old lady's arms, looked at her earnestly, and took a tissue to wipe away the tears on the old lady's face.
"Don't cry, you should be happy. From now on, both of us, Huo Sili and I, will be happier."
Qiu Huilan looked at Jiang Qin, opened her mouth as if to say something, but finally smiled and nodded.
"Okay! As long as Qinqin is happy! So, when did you... file for divorce?"
“Next Wednesday,” Jiang Qin said. “He said he’ll be back next Wednesday.”
“Okay,” Qiu Huilan nodded, wiping away her tears as she went. “Then next Wednesday, you take Grandma with you. With Grandma there, he won’t dare to cause any trouble.”
"Is that Sligo?"
Meanwhile, in the VIP ward of Ancheng Private Hospital, footsteps were suddenly heard. Li Xueqian, who was hiding in the closet, quietly pushed the door open a crack and whispered to Yuan Yue, who was standing outside.
Yuan Yue shook her head, her voice a little nervous: "No, no, they were just passing by."
Li Xueqian exhaled, and was hesitating whether to come out of the closet when suddenly, the phone she was holding lit up.
Upon seeing the note, Li Xueqian's eyes lit up, and she immediately pushed the wardrobe open.
However, upon answering the call and hearing the voice on the other end, his face instantly turned deathly pale.
Downstairs, the black Cullinan came to a stop, and Horley stepped out.
From the roadside, an elderly woman's voice rang out, "Is that Xiao Huo? What's he doing at this hospital?"
Beside the speaker, Old Master Wen looked at his wife, then turned to look in the direction she was pointing, adjusted his reading glasses, and said, "Hey, it really does seem to be!"
