Chapter 255 Brother Huo, what are you saying?
Fortunately, just after midnight, Horstley finally had a change of heart and sent a message saying "Thank you for your hard work."
Another very attractive extra sum of money arrived.
The father, who was still a little sleepy, opened his eyes wide instantly when he saw the transfer information with the word "reward" in the remarks.
A smile instantly appeared on his face.
After carefully counting the number of zeros, his eyes suddenly lit up even more.
Raising children is expensive, and if someone can recognize and pay for your experience, no one will turn down that kind of money.
The father clicked to receive the payment, his eyes crinkling with a smile, and hurriedly said, "It's no trouble at all, it's my duty."
Meanwhile, Huo Sili looked at the chat history again, took screenshots of some key experiences that he had almost no idea about before, and saved them to his phone's notepad using the built-in notepad illustration function.
I turned off the lights and went to sleep, but the words "goodnight" she had said a few moments earlier kept echoing in my ears.
I haven't heard it for a very, very long time.
The last time I heard her say goodnight was during the year we were deeply in love.
It has been four years since then.
Huo Sili pulled the blanket over himself, closed his eyes, and the scenes that had happened that day flashed before his eyes.
That night, I finally fell asleep and didn't have those chaotic nightmares I used to have.
……
The next day, at the villa under Song Xinye's name, when Tian Tian woke up, Jiang Qin was still asleep.
The little baby sat up on his own, cupped his face in his hands and looked around in a daze for a while. He turned to look at his mother, who was still sleeping soundly. He wanted to call her but didn't. He got out of bed and opened the door.
I took the elevator downstairs.
Aunt Zhou was making breakfast. While waiting for the food to cook, she washed some berries that she had ordered online and had air-freighted over. She was carrying the fruit plate to the dining table.
Hearing the elevator, I glanced at the time and assumed it was Song Xinye and the others coming down to exercise.
Looking back, I almost dropped the fruit platter.
"Sweetie? Why did you come down alone?"
Although two-and-a-half-year-old Tian Tian walks very steadily, apart from genetic factors and proper training when she first learned to walk, her stamina is, in Aunt Zhou's opinion, much better than any other child she has ever seen before.
But even if it's the best, it's still a two-and-a-half-year-old baby.
Aunt Zhou was terrified.
I didn't even bother taking the fruit platter to the dining table; I quickly placed it on the central island counter, which was closest to me at that moment.
He quickly ran towards Tian Tian, who was still a little dazed from waking up. Tian Tian, however, was completely confused.
Upstairs, Jiang Qin happened to wake up at that moment. She immediately turned her head to look to the side and saw that it was empty. Her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
Her pupils contracted, and she completely forgot about washing her face and combing her hair, quickly searching the entire room for Tian Tian.
After confirming that no one was in the room, I went to open the door, only to find that the lock had been opened.
My heart almost stopped beating again, but at the same time another thought arose. My heart dropped slightly, but my pace didn't slow down. I opened the door and rushed straight for the elevator.
Go downstairs, and you'll see a little baby sitting in their special seat at the dining table, already eating freshly baked bread.
If it's not her own daughter, then who is it?
Sweetie, who was enjoying her meal at the table, noticed someone looking over out of the corner of her eye. She turned around and saw that it was her mother.
Her eyes lit up, and she smiled sweetly and obediently: "Mommy, you're awake! This bread is so delicious!"
"Mommy washed her face, brushed her teeth, and washed her hands. Come and eat!"
Jiang Qin: "..."
Here, at the Huo family's old residence.
Shortly after the black Cullinan left the manor, in the back seat, Horstley received a phone call.
I had just swiped to answer the call when someone yelled from the other end—
"Brother Huo, Brother Huo, Brother Huo!!! I! Can! Finally! Go! Back! China!!! Hahaha..."
The person making the call was none other than Sheng Zhan, the young master who had been away on a business trip to the Western Hemisphere for a long time.
It's easy to tell from his tone that Young Master Sheng harbors deep resentment about being abroad.
Huo Sili undoubtedly guessed as much, so his next action after answering the call was to hold the phone far away.
The volume was also turned down to the lowest setting.
After Sheng Zhan finished his excited speech, he finally put the phone back to his ear.
Then Sheng Zhan recited a list of several dishes, and then said...
"I want all of these, I want them all for my welcome dinner. Brother Huo, my good brother, the welcome dinner is tomorrow night at seven o'clock, the usual place, you have to come, okay?"
Sheng Zhan, Qiu Zichen, Wen Chen, Lu Xiuyuan, and Huo Sili all know each other and are familiar with one another; they even have a private chat group.
Jiang Qin met with Wen Chen this time because of Su Lejia's hotel deposit refund, but Wen Chen is not the type to reveal other people's private lives in private.
Therefore, no one else knew about Huo Sili and Jiang Qin's reunion.
Sheng Zhan has always been a loyal fan of Huo Sili, to the point that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a die-hard fan. What he dislikes most is people linking Huo Sili and Jiang Qin together. This situation only ended when Huo Sili became depressed because of Jiang Qin.
However, Sheng Zhan said he still couldn't accept their relationship and therefore didn't care much about it.
Meanwhile, far away in the Western Hemisphere, they were completely unaware that Huo Sili and Jiang Qin had reunited and even reconciled.
Therefore, he said this, hoping that Horstley could come out more often to chat with people, which would make him happier.
Who knew that Horsley, though agreeing, would say something that would make his pupils dilate in shock—
"Yes, I'll go. I'll also tell you about my upcoming reconciliation with your sister-in-law, and that you're going to become an uncle soon."
In response, Sheng Zhan said: Ah, no... Brother Huo, what are you talking about??
Sheng Zhan fell silent, his head and face filled with question marks and fear.
He, his sister-in-law, isn't she dead?
Unlike Wen Chen, Wen Chen was usually very discreet. Unless there was business interaction, he would never inquire about or ask about his brothers' private lives. Therefore, he was aware of Jiang Qin's death and Huo Sili's subsequent depression.
Wen Chen was unaware of this, and when they encountered Huo Sili, they simply assumed he hadn't slept well and had stayed up all night. After all, although the Huo and Wen families had cooperated for three years, He Xu was usually the one who delivered the documents.
Wen Chen was also unaware of Jiang Qin's resignation.
When Wen Chen saw Jiang Qin again, he wasn't surprised.
Sheng Zhan is different. Although he doesn't care about Jiang Qin and Huo Sili's marriage and looks down on Jiang Qin, he is still somewhat unhappy because of this disdain. Although he doesn't care much, he will occasionally pay attention to it.
Sheng Zhan knew about Jiang Qin's tragic death in the car accident, but he didn't know that Jiang Qin had faked her death.
After all, Huo Sili didn't publicize Jiang Qin's faked death much.
He was extremely depressed at the time. Even after he said that she was not dead, those who knew about Jiang Qin's tragic death in the car accident assumed that he was talking nonsense, since they knew about the accident.
Those with connections inquired about the truth and found some information confirming that the person was indeed dead and that a tombstone had been erected.
Although Sheng Zhan disliked Jiang Qin, he knew that Jiang Qin's death was most likely due to Huo Sili.
Later, I visited her grave to pay my respects, hoping that in her next life she could find a suitable, ordinary family and not be with Brother Huo again.
So now, Brother Huo says he wants to get back together with his sister-in-law?
Sheng Zhan was dizzy and felt terrified.
Besides being terrifying, it was also a bit disgusting.
"Brother Huo, you...you don't tell me you found a body double who looks exactly like Jiang Qin? And, and you even have a child with the body double? How old is the child? When did you two get together?"
Huo Sili opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Sheng Zhan continued, his face scrunched up like a pickled vegetable.
"If you're like this, you—no, you'd be better off remaining a widow, Brother Huo. Don't make me look down on you..."
Young Master Sheng, whose parents are loving and whose family is happy, said—
Using body doubles is really disgusting, okay?
“I…” Horstley only managed to utter the word “I”.
The car stopped at a red light.
Looking out the car window, by sheer coincidence, I spotted a very familiar car diagonally ahead.
In the back seat of the car, through the glass, a man and a woman could be vaguely seen, with the woman leaning on the man's shoulder.
Huo Sili raised an eyebrow, as if thinking of something, and said to Sheng Zhan, "I'm almost at the company, I'll talk to you later, see you tomorrow night."
After hanging up the phone, he turned on his communicator and said, "Follow the white Mercedes diagonally ahead when it starts moving."
He Xu, sitting in the driver's seat, reflexively replied, "Yes."
He glanced in that direction and then froze.
Mouth open in an O shape.
No, isn't this Mr. Xie You'an's car?
Back then, this man seemed to be trying to woo Mrs. Huo. He was Mr. Huo's former rival in love and appeared around Mrs. Huo several times.
The red lights turned yellow and then green, and the cars started moving again.
The black Cullinan followed the white Mercedes as it drove off.
Finally, the white Mercedes stopped downstairs at Yunteng Technology Company.
The rear door opened, and a man and a woman got out from the same direction.
The man was tall and handsome, and the woman was of mixed race with very fair skin, but not the kind of radiant, glowing white that is popular in China; instead, her skin looked somewhat sickly pale.
The woman was very fond of Xie You'an and acted very intimately with him, holding his hand and leaning her body into his arms, while carrying a designer handbag on her other hand.
Xie Youan seemed a little uncomfortable, but he looked quite natural as he walked in.
Yunteng Technology is currently led by Xie Youan, but the actual founder is not Xie Youan, but his father, whom Xie Youan later recognized as his ancestor. This is the information that Huo Sili had someone find back then.
Upon seeing the scene ahead, Huo Sili's eyes instantly turned cold.
Suddenly, he remembered the last time he was at Su Lejia and Zhou Junxuan's new house, Xie Youan was dining at the same table with his wife and daughter.
As the black Cullinan slowed down on the road, Horst, whose expression had turned even colder, rolled down the window and took out his phone to take photos and videos.
