Chapter 34 You're probably going to be a father!
Before anyone could react, Huo Sili snatched Jiang Qin's phone.
His movements were so fast they left afterimages, startling her and instantly making her feelings particularly complicated.
However, as the noisy ringtone continued to rang, two seconds later, all she felt was annoyance.
"Give me back my phone, I'll handle it myself."
Jiang Qin stood up from her chair, frowned, and looked at Huo Sili, her voice unusually cold.
Huo Sili glanced at Jiang Qin, undoubtedly having heard what she said, but clearly having no intention of returning it to her. His slender fingers moved back and forth between the green and red buttons on the phone screen for half a second.
Suddenly looking back, his dark, deep eyes held a smile that was devoid of warmth.
"Solve it yourself. How do you want to solve it?"
Jiang Qin pursed her lips slightly, a subtle reaction she would have when her sore spot was touched. At the same time, her usually cool and beautiful face revealed a rare coldness.
How I resolve it is my business.
Huo Sili didn't say anything more. He answered the call, turned on the speakerphone, and lowered the volume.
The woman on the other end of the phone initially sounded extremely remorseful, but upon closer listening, one could only feel that the other person's voice was incredibly arrogant, echoing in the silent space—
"Qinqin, I'm so sorry. I've already brought those people to your company."
"They'll be there in about forty minutes. These guys are tough to deal with, so be prepared."
Behind the desk, Jiang Qin leaned on the edge of the table, her face frozen.
Hearing Wang Peilan's voice on the other end, she suddenly found it somewhat ridiculous that she wondered if she had offended the Kitchen God somehow recently.
Otherwise, how come she keeps running into all these messy things every time it's mealtime these past two days?
Apparently not hearing her speak, Wang Peilan called her twice and then started crying again in a dramatic manner.
"Qinqin, Mommy had no choice. Look, Mommy finally remarried. If something happens to your stepfather, how will Mommy live?"
Why can't you live? Jiang Qin wondered, are his arms and your arms fused together, or your legs fused together, or your hearts fused together? If I kill him, you'll die too?
Of course, she didn't say it, not because she was lazy, but because she knew she couldn't wake someone who was pretending to be asleep.
After all, for an adult with all four limbs intact and normal bodily functions to completely hand over their right to survival to another person is itself an insult and a belittling of their own personality.
How could someone who is so ruthless as to insult their own dignity be someone who listens to advice or cares about their reputation?
In the past, she still had some affection for the role of a mother, but now, hearing Wang Peilan say such words, Jiang Qin felt that she had been really foolish before.
She smiled and said calmly into the other end of the line, "Mom, when are you going to pay back the 100,000 yuan I lent out last year?"
After saying that, Jiang Qin looked down at the lunch she had packed and hadn't eaten much of on the table.
The food that was steaming hot a moment ago has now cooled down considerably.
She pulled out a chair, sat down again, and started eating.
On the other end, Wang Peilan was clearly taken aback by Jiang Qin's sudden question, "You, what did you say?"
Jiang Qin ignored it, picked up a piece of bright green lettuce from the lunchbox, and chewed it.
Thankfully, it's still warm, and the lettuce is crisp and refreshing.
Huo Sili raised an eyebrow slightly as he watched Jiang Qin's actions.
Wang Peilan over there had obviously heard some noises of someone eating, and was a little confused. After a few seconds, she was clearly angry.
"Qinqin, what are you doing? Are you eating?"
Wang Peilan's voice grew increasingly shrill with disbelief, "Your mother and stepfather are in this state, and you can still eat?!"
"Qinqin, Jiang Qin! You, you..." (beep)
Unable to utter any harsh words, Horstley hung up the phone with a cold expression.
Jiang Qin caught a glimpse of Huo Sili's outstretched hand, and he put her phone back on the table.
Huo Sili didn't leave; his gaze remained fixed on Jiang Qin, and he spoke after a long while.
"Last year, when was that?"
Jiang Qin paused for half a second with her chopsticks in her hand, then continued eating.
She ate very softly, which made Huo Sili's breathing sound even heavier in comparison.
At the restaurant, He Xu received a phone call and heard Huo Sili's instructions. He was a little surprised, but he didn't ask any questions and quickly agreed.
Meanwhile, in the outer room of the president's office, Huo Sili stood still, his gaze fixed on Jiang Qin.
Seeing her packing up her lunchbox and preparing to go out to throw away the trash, he reached out and stopped her.
Repeat, "When did this happen last year? Why didn't you tell me?"
Jiang Qin looked up at Huo Sili, then looked down and looked away, walking away from the other side.
Huo Sili moved his body, stepped back, spread his long arms, and leaned directly against the door.
His dark eyes were fixed on her. "Speak."
Jiang Qin looked up at him, her good temper almost completely gone, and pushed him away, "Get out of my way."
Horst remained unmoved. "I won't allow it unless you tell me."
"..." Jiang Qin almost raised her hand to hit him while holding the bag. When did this guy become a scoundrel?
But Horley did step aside, not because of her, but because of a phone call from Mrs. Horley.
When the old lady calls, it's usually nothing serious; she just tells them to take care of their health. Jiang Qin didn't think much of it and, seeing Huo Sili move aside, quickly opened the door and went out.
In the CEO's office, Huo Sili answered the phone and walked into the inner room, about to call out "Grandma."
Before she could even address her by name, Old Mrs. Huo's overjoyed voice, clearly filled with the excitement of sharing her surprise, rang out first.
"Sleepy, Grandma seems to have heard some really good news! Do you want to know?"
Since falling ill, the old lady's mental state has not been very good.
Hearing the old lady's tone, Huo Sili's thin lips curled up slightly, and he couldn't help but feel happy, his tone becoming gentler involuntarily.
"Grandma, what did you say?"
At the Huo family's old residence, Old Mrs. Huo's kind face beamed with joy.
"Grandma, it's time to hold your great-grandchild!"
Horst's gentle expression suddenly turned two degrees colder.
"You mean, my elder brother has an illegitimate child?"
After Huo Chishen's leg became disabled, which wealthy family's daughter would be interested in him?
Yuan Lianqing doted on her eldest son. Her second son was forced by his grandmother to marry an ordinary person, but she cherished her eldest son very much and would never allow him to marry an ordinary person as well. As a result, Huo Chishen is still unmarried.
In the old house, Old Mrs. Huo's face darkened with displeasure. "What nonsense are you spouting, you brat!"
Horst's eyes grew even colder, his face turning icy. "So what do you mean?"
Grandma Huo: "What I mean is, of course, that Qinqin is pregnant!"
Upon hearing this, a vast expanse of icy, howling icebergs appeared in Huo Sili's eyes.
The old lady was oblivious, her voice still cheerful, "You don't know, do you? One morning, Aunt Liu noticed that Qinqin seemed to be experiencing morning sickness!"
"Wang Ma also told me today that she noticed Qinqin's appetite had changed last night. Sili, Grandma has been through this before, you're probably going to be a father soon!"
