Chapter 114 Burial
Jiang Qin's voice was clearly choked with tears, which Qiu Huilan on the other end of the phone naturally noticed.
Instantly, the old lady frowned, and a hint of anger appeared on her usually kind face.
"Hosley! You brat! What are you up to?!"
Normally, Qiu Huilan speaks politely, kindly, and gently. But this loud shout startled Wang Ma, the old maid who had just brewed a pot of herbal tea for the old lady and stood back against the wall.
I was just about to go up and calm the old lady down so she wouldn't have another attack.
The old lady hadn't finished speaking: "I'm here at your Yunhai Huafu right now! Huo Sili! No matter where you and my granddaughter-in-law are, you'd better come back to me in one hour, with my granddaughter-in-law all safe and sound!"
"Did you hear me? One hour! I'm sitting on this sofa in the lobby of your Yunhai Huafu, waiting for you right now!"
"If you can't bring them back, you'll be waiting... cough cough!!"
Here, a black Cullinan is parked in a parking space near the Chinese medicine clinic.
Upon hearing the old lady cough, Horst's expression changed drastically.
But before she could even utter the word "grandma," she heard the old woman on the other end of the phone speaking in a tone that showed no regard for her own family.
He said excitedly, "Just wait until you're collecting my corpse!"
Huo Sili's expression suddenly froze, "Grandma...!"
"What do you mean, 'milk'?!" Qiu Huilan was genuinely angry.
She looked down on many people when she was young, but many people respected her when she got old.
But there is one type of person she looks down on, regardless of age!
That's the kind of person who makes his wife cry! The kind of person who makes his wife feel wronged!
In Qiu Huilan's eyes, a man who can't even take good care of or cherish his own wife is a bad man.
What purpose does he have left? None! Absolutely none!
Unexpectedly, her most beloved grandson has now become the person she despises the most!
Qiu Huilan was extremely disappointed in her son.
"One hour!" the old woman said coldly. "If you can't bring him back within an hour, I'll just kill myself!"
Huo Sili's face quickly turned pale. "Grandma, please don't get agitated. Please take care of yourself."
No matter what, Qiu Huilan ignored him.
He just hung up with a single beep.
Jiang Qin undoubtedly heard the words the old lady shouted in her emotional outburst.
Immediately, her expression turned sour.
However, she didn't think she had done anything wrong in this matter, since it seemed that no one else besides the old lady could control Huo Sili.
Even if we have to blame someone, shouldn't we blame Horstley himself?
He did this to her first.
However, Jiang Qin was genuinely concerned about the old lady.
Qiu Huilan was so agitated just now, and she said such a long thing.
Although the old lady has been receiving acupuncture treatment from the old doctor here recently, I still think about her previous condition.
Jiang Qin really couldn't help but worry.
Seeing that Huo Sili was about to push open the door, it was clear that he wanted her to go in and check before driving back to Yunhai Huafu.
Jiang Qin took Huo Sili's hand as he pushed the door open.
"I feel okay. It takes about forty minutes to drive back from here. If there is a traffic jam on the way, it will probably take an hour. I'll just go back."
Huo Sili's face was cold, and he didn't say anything.
Jiang Qin simply fastened his unbuckled seatbelt.
He pressed the in-car communicator and spoke to He Xu, who was driving in front: "He Xu, drive back to Yunhai Huafu now."
The car had been modified, and the front and rear compartments were very soundproof, so He Xu was unaware of what had just happened in the back.
He Xu's voice sounded somewhat puzzled, but Jiang Qin didn't explain much, only quickly repeating the instructions.
Sensing the coldness in Jiang Qin's words and seeing no rebuttal from Huo Sili, He Xu didn't ask any further questions and quickly agreed.
"Yes, ma'am."
The car made a U-turn and rejoined the main road.
Because Jiang Qin told him to drive faster, He Xu sped up and drove quite fast.
Jiang Qin gripped the handle and turned to look at Huo Sili.
Horstley stood frozen like a statue, his jawline taut, his thin lips pressed together, his tall, handsome frame silent and solemn.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but after a slight pause, Jiang Qin closed her mouth and looked away.
"Your phone is in the changing room. I put it in the tie drawer. Go back and get it yourself."
However, the very next second after she looked away, she suddenly heard his emotionless voice.
Jiang Qin's eyelashes fluttered slightly as she looked at Huo Sili again.
Then he saw Hollis turn his head to look out the car window on his side, his aura so desolate it was almost deathly still.
Jiang Qin's lips parted slightly, but then she closed them again—it made sense, he had done something wrong and hadn't even apologized to her, so why should she comfort him?
Jiang Qin pursed her pink lips slightly, turned her gaze back, and looked out the other car window.
In an instant, the two who were once so close were now separated by a vast chasm, and a silent loneliness filled the entire carriage, as if a thick fog had buried them both.
