Chapter 57 This lutein, the taste seems a bit off?
In Yunhai Huafu, on the first floor, just a few minutes after Yuan Lianqing left, Wang Ma, who had been sent away to buy snacks for Yuan Lianqing, returned.
Not seeing Yuan Lianqing in the room and noticing Liu Ma's strange expression, Wang Ma realized she had fallen into a trap. Her face immediately turned ugly. She was about to question Liu Ma about why she was still helping Yuan Lianqing even though she had been warned by the master.
The sound of wheels rolling came from outside the door again. Wang Ma turned around with a slight puzzlement and saw He Xu rushing in.
"How is your wife?" He Xu asked as soon as he came in, his voice cold.
Wang Ma was initially a little puzzled and wanted to ask He Xu why he had come, but upon hearing He Xu's words, she became even more nervous.
Wang Ma first briefly told He Xu about how she had been sent away by Liu Ma and Yuan Lianqing, then quickly looked at Liu Ma and asked loudly, "Where is Madam?! Has she returned? Did Madam bully Madam again when she came over?!"
Liu Ma was sent by Yuan Lianqing, and He Xu, as Huo Sili's confidant, naturally knew this.
Upon hearing this, He Xu's gaze towards Liu Ma turned extremely cold. He was over 1.8 meters tall, young, and strong. His cold face startled Liu Ma, who immediately stopped talking and quickly looked at Wang Ma and said something.
"Madam didn't bully Madam, she's alright! She and her husband went upstairs! The elevator is on the third floor!"
The master bedroom is on the third floor, and they cannot go up to the third floor without special permission.
He Xu frowned. "What about that person? Did they leave?"
He Xu has not seen Yuan Lianqing since he came in.
Aunt Liu wasn't stupid, of course, and quickly understood who He Xu was referring to.
Faced with He Xu's cold expression, she didn't dare to waste any words and quickly said, "They're gone! They just left a few minutes ago! They must have taken another route! That's why you, you didn't run into them!"
"I see." He Xu's expression remained calm after hearing the words.
Aunt Liu was filled with trepidation. "Yes, that's it." As she spoke, she looked at Aunt Wang, trying to get Aunt Wang to put in a good word for her.
But after this incident, Wang Ma was clearly extremely disappointed in Liu Ma and was angry at the moment, not even giving her a second glance.
He Xu ignored the strange atmosphere between the two aunts. He asked Liu Ma about what had happened earlier, while observing her micro-expressions to confirm that she was not lying.
Jiang Qin was indeed unharmed, which is why she let Liu Ma go.
At this moment, Liu Ma's face turned white and red from He Xu's cold face and Wang Ma's angry stare at her.
Hearing that He Xu had finally stopped asking, she quickly said that there were still a few silk bedding items that hadn't been washed, and that she was going to wash things.
As soon as the person left, Wang Ma sighed, complained to He Xu a few more times, and then quickly went to prepare the dishes.
He Xu then walked to the flower stand next to the coffee table and tidied up the small stones used to cover the orchid pots.
Upon seeing the miniature camera inside, my feelings became complicated.
It was probably due to the difference in their social status that Yuan Lianqing was very dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law, Jiang Qin. For a period of time, she would cause trouble every few days, and once she even deliberately burned Jiang Qin.
At that time, Huo Sili was on a business trip abroad and was so busy that he barely had time to breathe. Jiang Qin didn't tell him about it and chose to keep it to herself.
When Huo Sili found out about it, it was a long time later, and he only found out because Wang Ma let it slip. He was heartbroken and went to Yuan Lian to settle the score. However, because the place where the incident happened was in a blind spot of the surveillance cameras at the time, it was not captured on camera.
Yuan Lianqing therefore insisted that she did not do that thing, and that it was Jiang Qin who spread rumors and caused Wang Ma to talk nonsense. In the end, she even accused Jiang Qin of sowing discord between Huo Sili and her son.
At that time, Huo Sili and Jiang Qin's relationship was at its sweetest. Huo Sili suffered a loss in silence and learned a lesson. He immediately found someone to install miniature cameras in many inconspicuous corners on the first floor, just to prevent people like Yuan Lianqing from causing trouble.
Right now, a camera is hidden in the crack of a small stone in the orchid pot on this flower stand.
As Huo Sili's confidant, the accounts behind the cameras here were all linked to his WeChat account. The reason he rushed here now was because the camera had captured Yuan Lianqing's face.
Immediately afterwards, the account behind the camera sent him an alert message via WeChat.
He Xu came here because he was afraid that if something happened to Jiang Qin, he wouldn't be able to explain it to Huo Sili. Now that he knows that Jiang Qin is alright, he feels a little complicated thinking about the past, but his heart is at ease.
After checking the placement of the various miniature cameras in the hall, He Xu left shortly afterward.
In the kitchen, Wang Ma was preparing the dishes for dinner. She had noticed what He Xu was doing in the living room earlier and immediately understood why he had suddenly come here. She couldn't help but think of Jiang Qin cutting her wrists a few days ago.
Subconsciously comparing them, I couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.
A year ago, my wife and husband had such a good relationship. How did it turn out like this after just one year?
Wang Ma couldn't understand it, but despite her sighs, she didn't stop working.
Before you know it, it's six o'clock.
The delicious-looking, fragrant, and steaming dishes were served, and the hot cutting board was also opened. Knowing that the two were upstairs, Wang Ma called Huo Sili to invite him down for dinner, but she didn't expect that as soon as the call connected, it was hung up the next second!
Wang Ma was a little puzzled and was about to dial again when the elevator doors suddenly opened.
Inside stood a man and a woman, undoubtedly Huo Sili and Jiang Qin.
"Sir, Madam! Dinner is ready!"
When Wang Ma saw Huo Sili come out with Jiang Qin in his arms, she was both surprised and delighted, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her face.
However, his excellent observation skills quickly noticed that the atmosphere between the two seemed a bit strange, so he didn't dare to stay any longer and quickly said, "Then I'll go down first. Please enjoy your meal, sir and madam."
"Hmm," Horst responded, sounding to be in a good mood.
However, Wang Ma knew her master's temper well and didn't dare to linger, so she quickly left.
In the blink of an eye, only Huo Sili and Jiang Qin remained in the room.
Jiang Qin glanced at the man's hand around her waist, patted it, but couldn't move it.
My hands feel weak; I just finished exercising and used it all up. My wrists are sore now.
Fortunately, everything was fine after that, and nothing else happened.
Except for a phone call that came through near the end of dinner, when Horsley heard a familiar, sweet voice on the other end.
Because of her sharp hearing and the fact that Huo Sili hadn't deliberately lowered his voice, Jiang Qin could hear everything Li Xueqian said on the other end. However, Jiang Qin wasn't interested in the content of the call; she was just observing as an observer.
Even at the very end, I was genuinely surprised and stunned—
With Huo Sili's help, Li Xueqian was able to continue playing her original role, and the matter was originally resolved.
Unexpectedly, she learned today that the director of that TV series said on his WeChat Moments that her acting skills were mediocre.
Li Xueqian was very angry when she found out about this, feeling that the director was maliciously slandering her.
She called now hoping that Huo Sili would help her get revenge, saying that the director must have many colleagues in his circle of friends, and that what he said was affecting her image in the eyes of others in the industry.
But Horstley refused: "I can shut him up for a while, but can I shut him up forever?"
"He said your acting is mediocre, so why don't you just improve your acting skills and let your talent speak for itself?"
Huo Sili's voice turned somewhat cold towards the end, leaving Jiang Qin completely bewildered.
Is this how she treats her "white moonlight" (ideal love)? Jiang Qin didn't understand.
Li Xueqian on the other end was undoubtedly stunned and remained silent for a long time.
Jiang Qin lowered her head and ate her food, her mood slightly complicated, but she didn't think about anything else.
Because soon she heard Huo Sili's voice soften and comfort Li Xueqian, telling her not to be angry and to play the role well. As for what the two said after that, Jiang Qin didn't know.
She finished eating, left the table, and went upstairs.
She strictly followed the schedule she had set for herself, but she didn't expect that Huo Sili might be sleeping out again tonight.
After strolling through the rooftop garden and returning to the master bedroom, I opened the door to find the room brightly lit.
Jiang Qin hadn't seen such a scene in a long time, and she stood there stunned for two seconds before going inside.
Before she could even savor the warmth, Jiang Qin's gaze fell upon what Huo Sili was holding, and her pupils instantly contracted.
Just then, Horst's dark gaze fell on her, and he raised his long, slender fingers, holding a small bottle in his hand.
"This lutein doesn't taste quite right?"
