Chapter 205 His painful emotions suddenly broke down.
Having temporarily vented his anger, Lu Xiuyuan glanced at Huo Chishen, who had crashed head-on into the flowerbed, with most of his body buried in the mud, looking extremely disheveled.
He turned around and swaggered away.
Nan Tinghe, who received a call from his best friend a few minutes later: "..."
I've heard of people who don't want their brothers to drive a Land Rover, but this is the first time I've ever encountered someone whose brother has to clean up their mess!
But since the phone call had already come, and it was a rare occasion for them to call, Nan Tinghe naturally helped with this small favor.
"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I've got it covered."
So when Huo Chishen, after being helped up by his bodyguards and taken to the emergency room, finally settled down and wanted to settle accounts with Lu Xiuyuan, he couldn't find a trace of him except for the Huo family servants and bodyguards present.
They even sent people to check the surveillance footage in other places, trying to prove that Lu Xiuyuan had been to Ancheng Private Sanatorium, but they found that even the surveillance footage in the corridor leading to the back garden of the sanatorium could not find any trace of Lu Xiuyuan!
Huo Chishen looked at himself in the mirror held by the maid, his face twisted with malice as he saw himself pricked and scratched by the thorns of the roses in the flower bed, leaving many horrifying bloodstains.
Huo Chishen wasn't stupid; there was a surveillance camera every three meters in the corridor, providing a 360-degree view without any blind spots.
How could they possibly miss Lu Xiuyuan? They clearly used connections to successfully extricate themselves from the situation!
The glass on the bedside table was grabbed and smashed on the ground!
A series of loud cracking sounds immediately silenced the surrounding bodyguards and servants, their bodies stiffening. However, before Huo Chishen could utter a curse, a series of somewhat familiar yet unfamiliar footsteps approached...
Huo Chishen looked towards the ward door with a puzzled expression. The next second, he saw the person who came in and glanced at the broken glass on the ground.
His face was slightly pale, and a fawning smile played on his lips. "Mom?"
Yuan Lianqing, who usually wears high heels, changed into a pair of sneakers because she was in a hurry to go to Ruikang Hospital to see Huo Sili.
The woman's gaze swept over the shattered glass on the floor, then moved to the familiar face. For the first time, her expression hardened, and the loving and gentle light that had once shone in her eyes was gone, replaced by a deep disbelief.
Yuan Lianqing went to Ruikang Hospital but failed to see Huo Sili. She then confirmed with He Xu that Jiang Qin was really dead. For a moment, she felt it was too unreal and unbelievable, and therefore found it somewhat hard to accept.
He had spent more than half an hour at the hospital before leaving.
She originally planned to go straight back to the old house to rest and think about how to find out what really happened with Jiang Qin, but on the way she received a message from the maid she had previously sent to Huo Chishen as his eyes and ears.
She saw the maid say that Huo Chishen was indeed as she had expected, two-faced.
Thinking of Huo Sili's feelings for Jiang Qin, and then thinking of Jiang Qin's death, her own son must be heartbroken. Moreover, Jiang Qin... she was the old lady's darling, and she didn't dare to touch her.
Then she thought about how she had never mistreated Huo Chishen in the past twenty-eight years, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
They've come over.
Originally, Yuan Lianqing was still somewhat skeptical, feeling that Huo Chishen was the child she had raised from infancy to adulthood.
Even though she only learned eight years ago that her biological son was someone else, she never treated him poorly because of it. It can be said that she showered all her affection on this child.
Therefore, even if Huo Chishen might have hidden something from her regarding his personality, it wouldn't be too drastic, and the contrast wouldn't be too great.
Who knew that as soon as she arrived, she would witness Huo Chishen smashing the glass in a vicious manner.
That look in his eyes, like he wanted to kill someone, terrified her!
This... is the son she raised for twenty-eight years?
"Mom! Where are you going?"
I saw Yuan Lianqing's eyes change from disbelief to disappointment, and then from disappointment to anger and contempt.
Huo Chishen panicked.
However, his leg injury worsened due to the impact, and the doctor just told him that he couldn't get out of bed for a while. His head was also dizzy from the impact, and his face was also injured, causing pain whenever he made any facial expressions.
He really wanted to chase after her and explain, but the reality was that he couldn't. He didn't even have time to call out again before Yuan Lianqing walked away quickly.
……
Before I knew it, it was a Sunday two weeks later.
Although everyone knew that the old lady was basically in good health, no one dared to tell her about Jiang Qin's death.
Qiu Huilan, who knew the inside story, pretended not to know.
But it's been half a month since her Qinqin faked her death. If this person hasn't shown up for half a month, and she still thinks there's nothing wrong, then something's definitely wrong.
If you're not acting, how can it be called acting?
Since receiving traditional Chinese medicine treatment, the old lady's health has improved day by day, and she has also come to enjoy using food and medicine from the same source for health preservation.
So on this day, when Horstley came to visit the old lady with the best tonics and medicinal herbs that were shipped directly from the source.
The old lady, Qiu Huilan, didn't stand on ceremony. She raised her hand and gestured to Sister Wu, "Young Master, you're very kind. Please keep these things safe."
Sister Wu responded with an "eh," went over to collect the tonics and medicinal herbs, and at the same time, very perceptively signaled the maids around her to leave first.
Just from the old lady's glance, Sister Wu understood that the old lady was about to start acting.
To help the second young mistress—no, to help her get married—the marriage would automatically end in divorce. Although, for various reasons, Miss Jiang's death certificate has not yet been issued, that's the theoretical rule.
So, the old lady really went all out for Miss Jiang.
It's clear that Sister Wu understands the old lady quite well; she and the other maids had only been gone a short time.
Qiu Huilan looked at Huo Sili, her expression turning serious.
"Didn't we already agree that you and Qinqin would go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get your divorce certificate in thirty days?"
"Did you change your mind again and upset Qinqin? Otherwise, why hasn't Qinqin come to see me on Sundays lately?"
This is the ultimate way to kill someone by destroying their spirit.
Seeing her grandson trying to suppress his emotions in front of her, Qiu Huilan said she couldn't feel any heartache at all.
On the contrary, I felt refreshed.
She knew it! This brat just adores her granddaughter-in-law.
That mouth of his, it just won't grow! That mouth, when it opens, looks like it's been smeared with poison!
Now you're better, aren't you? You're behaving yourself now, aren't you?
Live it!
Make him say one thing and mean another, make him and that...
Thinking of a certain female celebrity whom she later had someone specifically investigate, Qiu Huilan frowned, and a feeling of frustration welled up inside her.
"No, Grandma, Qinqin recently changed careers and is probably just too tired. She needs more rest, both physically and mentally, so she hasn't come over yet. Didn't that old Chinese medicine doctor also say that she needs more rest? Don't worry."
"She will come to see you once she has recovered."
However, just as I was about to speak, I heard my grandson sitting opposite me say these two sentences in a casual tone, which sounded like there was some truth to it.
Qiu Huilan thought to herself, "Oh no!" Her brows furrowed even deeper, and she put on a clearly disbelieving expression. She cast a suspicious glance at Huo Sili for a while before speaking.
“Okay, she’ll come next week, right? Otherwise it’s going to be too long. I’m worried that she’ll have psychological problems if she’s alone for too long. Lately, she hasn’t even called her grandma, and she doesn’t answer video calls.”
After Qiu Huilan finished speaking, she felt that she was at the right age to enter the entertainment industry and play a movie role.
In his seventies, he was at the prime of his life, always ready to take risks.
Listen to what she said; her question was so hurtful and thought-provoking!
Upon hearing this, the tall, handsome man's eyes reddened slightly, but he forced himself to hold it back. His thin lips tightened, and his long, slender, and well-defined white fingers curled up instantly.
Her fingernails dug into her fingertips, leaving a deep, curved mark, clearly an attempt to numb her sorrow with pain.
Qiu Huilan glanced at her grandson's little actions across from her, and sighed inwardly. However, she just sat there watching him without saying a word, casting a hopeful yet worried look in her eyes.
"I think so, Grandma." The next second, Qiu Huilan heard Huo Sili reply, "Qinqin should be better by next week."
However, his tone was noticeably less composed than before, and it was tinged with a sob that he himself might not have realized it.
His breathing was very unsteady, clearly indicating that he was trying hard to suppress his grief.
At first glance, it sounds quite pitiful.
If you didn't know that this man had driven his wife to the point of attempting suicide by cutting her wrists, and had repeatedly allowed that female celebrity to create scandals that hurt his wife's feelings, not only that, he had even threatened to personally accompany his wife during her miscarriage!
Oh.
Miscarriage! Having learned more details about the past year between Jiang Qin through her last face-to-face conversation, Qiu Huilan grew increasingly angry—
He really has the nerve to say something like personally accompanying his wife during her miscarriage!
Therefore, when Huo Sili returned to the Plum Garden, a detached villa inside the old manor where he and Jiang Qin used to live, after having dinner that day, his eyes were once again filled with gloom and pain.
This painful feeling came when he saw the interior of the log cabin-style villa, which he had renovated according to her preferences, because of Jiang Qin's arrival. He saw her again on Qixi Festival in the second year after their marriage.
One of the gifts she gave him was a brightly colored, adorable wooden bird figurine that he had put in a safe, but which she had somehow taken out and placed in a prominent position.
The dam suddenly burst.
Horst's eyes reddened as he picked up the wooden bird figurine, tears silently streaming down his face.
He Xu followed Huo Sili into the house and saw him like this again. His expression was complicated, and he silently turned away.
