Chapter 150 Jiang Qin's dark pupils shrank 1
Next to the filing cabinet, Fu Rongying, who was holding a stack of documents, naturally glanced towards the door upon hearing this. Her expression became complicated at a visible speed, and her eyes instantly revealed her confusion and displeasure at being interrupted.
At the same time, Huo Sili raised an eyebrow slightly, turned his head, and glanced at the person who entered the room with a nonchalant look.
Then he met Li Xueqian's face, which was unusually low-key and beaming with a happy smile.
As a popular young actress, Li Xueqian has mainly followed the sweet girl route since her debut in the entertainment industry. Objectively speaking, her smile at this moment is actually quite beautiful.
However, what Huo Sili saw did not evoke any pity in the man; instead, it made him frown.
"When did I ask you to come here?" Horst's tone remained undiminished by coldness.
The words, spoken slowly and deliberately, were filled with a warning tone—
"With a broken bone and bandages on, you're still running around everywhere. Ms. Li, are you not planning to take on the next project with the Huo family?"
These words sounded quite frightening at first, but upon closer listening, Li Xueqian discerned a different meaning.
So, is Slicker showing concern for her?!
Even though he has a wife, he's not completely indifferent to her, right? Otherwise, why would he care about her?
Li Xueqian felt that her logic was sound, but she was still genuinely puzzled.
“Sleeper, didn’t you call and tell me to come over?”
"You were the one who called me earlier, so I rushed over by taxi from the hospital. Why are you... denying it?"
As she spoke, her voice trailed off, sounding quite aggrieved.
Huo Sili narrowed his dark eyes, looking at Li Xueqian with furrowed brows, his patience seemingly about to run out.
Fu Rongying glanced at Li Xueqian, then looked at Huo Sili. Noticing Huo Sili's furrowed brows, she naturally assumed it was some kind of clumsy flirting trick and was about to speak.
Li Xueqian took out her phone and handed it to Huo Sili, saying, "Here, isn't this your number, Brother Sili?"
Huo Sili glanced at the phone screen in front of him, paused for a moment, picked it up, turned it on, dialed back, and turned on the speakerphone.
The call was disconnected instantly.
It can't be dialed.
"Virtual number." The four words were uttered coolly, and as if afraid the person still didn't understand, the other four words were added.
You've been scammed.
After saying that, Huo Sili glanced at Fu Rongying, walked past Li Xueqian beside him, and strode towards the door.
"Secretary Fu, let's go have dinner together."
Fu Rongying's eyes lit up, and she quickly put the documents into the cabinet. The cabinet was pulled open swiftly and closed somewhat heavily.
A sweet and loud voice replied to the front, Huo Sili unable to hide his happiness: "Yes, Mr. Huo! I'll be right there!"
As Fu Rongying spoke, she quickly went to her workstation to get her bag.
He then walked quickly toward the door, but after taking two steps, he seemed to remember something and quickly turned back.
He looked at Li Xueqian, who was still standing inside, and said, "Miss Li, would you please come out? I'll lock the door!"
The Huo Group's president's office contains a large amount of information, and unless there are special circumstances, only the president, the general secretary, and the president's special assistant are allowed to enter after working hours.
Li Xueqian had come to see Huo Sili many times, so she naturally knew this rule. Of course, who is this guy?
Li Xueqian looked Fu Rongying up and down, becoming increasingly displeased, but seeing Huo Sili striding away, she didn't dare to lose her temper—she now realized that she had indeed been deceived.
That's why Huo Sili never called her or invited her to Huo's company.
Why would I call her today, something so unusual, right before lunchtime?
But, did she offend anyone? Who would be so bored as to use fraudulent methods to play a prank?
The more Li Xueqian thought about it, the more she felt that she had really lost face today.
But the more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt—what was so good about Jiang Qin? And what was so good about this woman?
Why is Huo Sili so kind to them, but so awful to her, the one who saved him back then?
"what…!"
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. The moment she came out, Li Xueqian used the same trick as before, this time using the same tool she used to bump into Jiang Qin to bump into Fu Rongying.
Fu Rongying was immersed in the joy of having dinner with Huo Sili later.
Li Xueqian walked over, not on guard at all. On the contrary, she was a little smug. After all, Huo Sili had just chosen her, and she naturally knew something about this Miss Li.
Isn't this Li Xueqian, the popular young actress who has been involved in several online rumors with Huo Sili?
She's a celebrity! So what if she's a celebrity? She still got chosen!
Fu Rongying was secretly delighted, practically floating on air, when suddenly, in broad daylight, this person just barged right into her! Not only that, but he was also incredibly strong! It was clearly intentional!
Losing her balance, Fu Rongying was slammed against the door by Li Xueqian with two loud clattering sounds from her high heels.
Her elbow was throbbing from the impact, and as she rubbed her hand, Fu Rongying was truly shocked by Li Xueqian's shamelessness.
Are celebrities all this arrogant now?
Fu Rongying glared at Li Xueqian, but the other woman didn't even look at her. Instead, she curled her red lips and strode after Huo Sili.
Fu Rongying's eyes widened even more, wishing she could contact the paparazzi on the spot and have them expose Li Xueqian's true colors.
Seriously, what kind of person is this!
But the moment of reflection was fleeting. Fu Rongying closed the door to the president's office, rubbed her hands, and strode towards the elevator.
Just as she walked over, Li Xueqian pressed the elevator button next to Huo Sili.
Fu Rongying hurriedly pressed the elevator down button, hoping to reopen the elevator, but it was too late.
The elevator went down, and Li Xueqian and Huo Sili went to the floor where the restaurant was located first.
"How was it, Sister Qin? Was that dish delicious?"
Meanwhile, downstairs in the staff canteen, Jiang Qin and Lin Xiaoyu sat facing each other by the window.
Jiang Qin was so hungry that she focused on eating after getting her food from the self-service station. She only paused briefly when she heard Lin Xiaoyu ask her question.
After a moment's thought, she realized that Lin Xiaoyu was asking her about a new dish that the chef at a restaurant had recommended to her when she was talking about the main course. She looked up and nodded at Lin Xiaoyu to show her approval.
"Mmm, it's delicious. It's sweet and sour with a bit of spice, and not greasy at all. It suits my taste perfectly."
Lin Xiaoyu smiled happily, "Hehe, as long as Sister Qin likes it."
Lin Xiaoyu smiled sweetly, and Jiang Qin smiled too. Just then, a man and a woman walked towards the restaurant.
The handsome man and beautiful woman entered, and the restaurant staff, who had been chatting animatedly, suddenly fell silent.
Then, they started discussing it little by little. "What's going on? Hasn't President Huo already started suing that newspaper for spreading rumors?"
"The lawsuit is one thing, but Miss Li does have a business relationship with the Huo family."
"Oh, right, it's quite normal to have dinner together. But I have to say, Mr. Huo and Miss Li look really good together. Miss Li's outfit today is also very fresh and cute, like a girl next door."
The chatter briefly quieted down before gradually picking up again. Jiang Qin had only caught a glimpse of the couple who had entered out of the corner of her eye and thought they looked like Huo Sili and Li Xueqian, but she didn't care much and didn't look any further.
But there was no hope, and now it was all too clear.
especially.
"Secretary Jiang, what a coincidence, we meet again. Is this place taken? If not, Brother Sili, shall we sit here?"
In particular, as I continued eating, a familiar, light woody scent appeared beside me, along with a sweet, floral and fruity perfume fragrance.
Two scents mingled together. Jiang Qin put down her spoon, looked up, and glanced at the two of them.
Then Huo Sili looked at Li Xueqian, and Li Xueqian's expression changed slightly. After a brief pause, she looked at her.
He said matter-of-factly, "Then forget it, let's find another place to eat. Secretary Jiang, please enjoy your meal."
The two people came and went, leaving Lin Xiaoyu, who was sitting opposite Jiang Qin, completely bewildered.
But then everything went back to normal, and Jiang Qin seemed to have no emotional reaction to what had just happened.
Seeing that Jiang Qin, who had been disturbed, was so focused on eating, Lin Xiaoyu also lost interest in chatting and continued to concentrate on eating her lunch.
However, their mealtime rhythm was interrupted once again—
"Ouch!!...It hurts so much!!"
An emergency occurred at a dining table diagonally opposite, a few tables away.
A quick glance revealed, quite coincidentally, that it was the dining table where Huo Sili and Li Xueqian were sitting.
Huo Sili usually eats in the private rooms upstairs, but today he probably condescended to eat here because of a scheme. At this moment, when Jiang Qin looked over, she could see Fu Rongying sitting next to Li Xueqian.
It's unclear whether the person involved was Li Xueqian or Fu Rongying—both of them have sweet and delicate voices, and their cries of pain were somewhat off-key, especially given the noisy surroundings.
As for what exactly happened, the two tables were still some distance apart, so Jiang Qin and Lin Xiaoyu naturally had no idea.
However, amidst the ensuing noise, Jiang Qin still clearly heard the people saying things like "it seems like she's been burned," "call a doctor immediately," and "call a cleaner to clean up."
And then, once again, they heard the young woman gasp and cry out in terror and pain.
"Sister Qin, do you want to go over and take a look?"
Lin Xiaoyu found the crying sounded a bit scary.
It sounds like she's been disfigured...
As the chief secretary, Jiang Qin does indeed have the responsibility to share the president's burdens and solve problems during working hours.
After all, she hadn't actually resigned yet, and the scene was getting bigger and bigger. Many people were already gathering around, so continuing to pretend to be deaf and dumb would indeed be going too far, and it would only do her a disservice.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Qin finally got up and said, "Okay, I'll go take a look."
However, in that very instant, Jiang Qin had just started walking in that direction.
Suddenly, the crowd of onlookers dispersed to both sides.
Jiang Qin paused as she was about to continue, and the next second, her dark pupils contracted.
Between the two groups of people, a tall, handsome, and familiar man with fair skin was carrying a woman in his strong arms. In contrast to him, the woman was petite and wore a light apricot trench coat and a white long skirt.
It was none other than Li Xueqian.
Huo Sili walked very fast, his expression tense, and his usually deep, dark eyes now showed undisguised anxiety, his brows furrowed.
A young man jogged up to catch up from the crowd. It was He Xu. "Mr. Huo, the doctor has been called. He's in the third-floor lounge."
The two walked briskly, and as they passed the aisle next to the table where Jiang Qin and Lin Xiaoyu were sitting, a cool breeze swept through them.
