Chapter 51 Jealousy Leads to Wife Discovering His Underhanded Actions
Having been secretly married for four years, Jiang Qin could naturally recognize Huo Sili's footsteps.
However, she didn't feel there was anything she needed to avoid about him at the moment. Since the signal was bad in the elevator, she didn't go in immediately, but instead started chatting on the phone.
On the other end of the phone was Xie Zhiya, one of her few close friends, whom she met in the foreign language club during high school.
After the other went abroad to study at university, they rarely saw each other in person, but they kept in touch online and their friendship did not fade.
Huo Sili stopped not far from Jiang Qin. Jiang Qin noticed him but ignored him and didn't think much of it.
She continued chatting with Xie Zhiya, and heard her say that she was taking a flight back to China that afternoon because she had been assigned to work at the Kyoto branch office.
Jiang Qin's mood brightened, and her eyes shone even brighter. "So that means we can meet?!"
Because of Xie Zhiya, she also got to know Su Lejia. The three of them often ate together during high school. Jiang Qin recalled the warm scenes of the three sisters spending time together during their school days, and her heart warmed up. Her voice was filled with joy.
Beside him, Huo Sili's face turned icy cold, his thin lips pressed into a straight line.
On Jiang Qin's phone, Xie Zhiya replied to her with a gentle voice and a tone that clearly conveyed joy and anticipation.
"Hmm! So I called to ask if you've been busy lately! If you're not busy, when are you free? How about the two of us, and Lele too, the three of us go out for a meal together? This week?"
Xie Zhiya added, "I won't be too busy since I just transferred to the branch office, but I'll be busy starting next week."
Jiang Qin naturally wouldn't refuse to have a meal with a friend she hadn't seen in a long time.
Besides, she has time next week.
Jiang Qin didn't mince words and said directly, "I'm on vacation this week and I'm free. Lele should also be able to find the time this week, but I need to ask her first before confirming with you. I'll talk to Lele later and let you know when I get back."
Xie Zhiya had no objections and readily agreed.
Although the three are friends, there are also those who are closer and those who are even closer among friends.
There's no doubt that Su Lejia and Jiang Qin have a closer relationship, something Xie Zhiya is aware of. Plus, she's a bit socially awkward and doesn't really know how to communicate unless they're very close, so it would be better for Jiang Qin to ask.
The two sisters chatted for a few more minutes before ending the call.
Jiang Qin put her phone back in her bag and prepared to enter the elevator to go upstairs and read a book.
Just as she took a step forward, the tall figure beside her suddenly moved.
Jiang Qin was so engrossed in the phone call that she hadn't noticed Huo Sili's movements or seen him enter the elevator. She assumed he had gone to the living room, so his sudden movement startled her.
He glanced back, frowned, but Huo Sili, with a cold face, pressed the elevator button to go upstairs first.
Ask her, "Are you going in or not?"
Faced with Huo Sili's cold expression, Jiang Qin was somewhat confused, even more confused that he wanted to go upstairs. Why hadn't he gone up earlier? But thinking too much was bad for her health, so she didn't bother to think about it.
After all, she had clearly heard Li Xueqian thank Huo Sili at the gate just now.
From that statement, it's easy to conclude that Huo Sili went out yesterday afternoon because of Li Xueqian.
Moreover, this matter, viewed solely from this perspective, is not surprising.
If she used her brain even a little, she couldn't bring herself to think about those random things anymore.
After all, for the past four years, Horstley had only gone back to the old house to see the old lady every Sunday, and had never gone out again for any reason.
Even the most urgent tasks are handled online.
If it has to be done offline, he will send someone else to handle it instead of going in person on Sunday.
But yesterday, instead of staying at the old house as usual, he went to help Li Xueqian.
When the elevator arrived at the target floor, Jiang Qin found a book and sat down on the sofa in the living room of the large apartment to read it.
But she couldn't concentrate for a moment. Her will didn't want to think about it, but sometimes the brain has its own ideas, and these chaotic thoughts are beyond her control. Jiang Qin recalled the details of some events that happened at the old house last night—
Yesterday evening, fearing that the old lady might worry if they didn't go to the restaurant together, she originally planned to wait for Huo Sili to return at Meiyuan and go to the restaurant with him.
But she waited until almost dinner time, but he didn't come back, nor did he send any messages or messages.
In the end, she had no choice but to go alone first.
I sent him a message saying I was going there first, and told him to come directly to the main building after arriving at the old house.
Fortunately, the old lady was a little late arriving at the restaurant last night; otherwise, she would most likely have discovered that she and Horstley hadn't spent the afternoon together.
When Sister Wu arrived with the old lady, Huo Sili had just walked in from the door a few dozen seconds before the elevator opened.
It was incredibly dangerous.
And now we know that he made this happen because he helped Li Xueqian.
This shows how important this "white moonlight" was to him.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qin regained control of her thoughts and came back to her senses.
This also reaffirmed my belief.
She must, and absolutely must, leave Horsley.
Leave this man who has someone else in his heart.
……
Shortly after lunch began, Horst received a phone call and then headed to the company.
Recently, Jiang Qin herself has noticed that her tastes have changed. She is no longer interested in some dishes that she used to like.
Therefore, fearing exposure, she had to be careful even when picking up food when Horst was around.
She finally relaxed and started eating after Horsley left.
During lunch, Jiang Qin ate two small bowls of rice and drank a bowl of sweet and delicious pork rib soup before putting down her chopsticks.
Jiang Qin got up and went to the washroom to wash up. Wang Ma came over to clear the dishes and saw her, so she quickly came over to apologize.
Feeling deeply guilty, he said, "Madam, I'm so sorry. Are your hands alright?"
"I will never speak carelessly again, causing you to suffer! I am truly sorry, it was my oversight."
Jiang Qin stopped in her tracks as she was heading towards the washroom, then realized that Wang Ma was referring to her suicide attempt.
However, she didn't know what to say about this matter, because although Wang Ma's speculation was correct.
However, her behavior was rather reckless, since gastrointestinal problems could also cause nausea.
Similarly, gastrointestinal problems, severe colds, or deficiencies in certain elements can all alter a person's taste, either temporarily or permanently.
Because her tastes had changed, and because Aunt Liu noticed that she felt nauseous, she told the old lady that she might be pregnant.
If she's not pregnant, what's the point?
He caused a lot of trouble for others with just a few words.
However, Jiang Qin had no intention of scolding anyone; she knew that Wang Ma meant well.
But she didn't say she was okay, after all, she had cut her wrists, how could she be okay?
So he simply said, "It's all in the past."
She then warned him not to do it again, but Wang Ma dared not. She was terrified when she received Jiang Qin's text message that day.
She repeatedly promised not to do it again and sincerely apologized. Jiang Qin didn't make things difficult for her and told her to go about her business.
Since Su Lejia was free at this time, Jiang Qin went for a walk in the back garden and contacted Su Lejia to tell her about Xie Zhiya's return to China and to arrange a time to have dinner together.
Su Lejia has a favorite saying: "If you're not enthusiastic about eating, there's something wrong with your thinking."
We quickly set a time: Tuesday, which is tomorrow night.
Xie Zhiya's location is thirteen hours away from Kyoto.
The plane will arrive in Kyoto early tomorrow morning. After adjusting to the time difference, we can meet in the evening. It's a quick process and won't tire her out too much.
I told Xie Zhiya the agreed time via WeChat, and she replied immediately, saying that the plane was about to be dispatched and she would see me when I returned to China.
Jiang Qin replied quickly with a smile: 【Okay! See you when you get back to China!】
The moment I logged out, I suddenly saw at the top that I was logged into WeChat on my computer.
Jiang Qin frowned, about to open the status notification.
Suddenly, the top of the screen flashed, and the text disappeared again.
She blinked, then opened her eyes again; the person had indeed disappeared. Jiang Qin's expression turned slightly cold as she quickly checked her WeChat login history.
Two seconds later, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed even more deeply.
She wouldn't mistake the login device displayed on the screen; it was her office computer at the Huo Group headquarters.
Meanwhile, at the Huo Group headquarters, in the president's office.
The senior executives, reporting their work, looked nervously at Huo Sili, whose face was as cold as ice as he stared at two computers.
He mustered his courage and asked, "Mr. Huo, is there... a problem with the document?"
Horst's cold gaze swept over him. "Continue your report."
A few minutes later, the senior executive came out wiping away cold sweat. He Xu, who was standing by the door, looked at the senior executives who were lining up to report.
"Next person."
One after another, they rang out—
"Mr. X, please go first."
More than an hour later, after the senior executives finished their reports, He Xu gently pushed open the door and went in.
His eyes widened when he saw another computer on Horstley's desk.
Isn't that the computer on Secretary Jiang's desk? Wait, what...?
Seeing an object reminds me of someone?
"Investigate someone." But the next second, he heard Horstley assign the task.
