Chapter 219 Someone's Ending
Chapter 219 Someone's Ending
Huo Sili was not injured, but after several examinations and inquiries, the medical staff determined that Huo Sili urgently needed sleep.
The man's skin was pale and cold, and the dark circles under his eyes looked quite heavy against this background. His eyes were also bloodshot, and the most obvious sign was that he was sleep-deprived.
"Do you have family or friends here? You clearly lack sleep. Are you having a headache and feeling weak? This won't do, sir. After you've dealt with the traffic accident, go home and get a good night's sleep."
"Otherwise, it won't be good for you or for others, don't you think?"
The medical staff used a euphemism to express the phrase "harming others and harming oneself."
Huo Sili glanced at the other person but did not refute it. Given how things had developed, what the other person said was undoubtedly correct.
He definitely needs a rest.
He Xu, who finally had a weekend off, was called in by Huo Sili to work overtime.
Speechless, but not daring to think too much, I quickly arrived at the scene. Fortunately, there was no one in the back seat of the car that was hit, only a young male driver in the driver's seat.
The other person didn't seem to be seriously injured, except for some redness on their forehead, probably because their head hit the front of the car due to inertia when the car was hit.
However, although the injury was not serious, He Xu quickly discovered another problem—
This young man does not appear to be the owner of the Mercedes.
I don't know if the car was rented or borrowed, but I clearly noticed the guilty fear and regret flashing across the man's face, and I also heard that his words were gradually becoming suspicious and he was trying to extort money from me.
He Xu twitched the corners of his mouth and burst into laughter.
Working on weekends is already annoying enough, and He Xu's tone wasn't very pleasant either: "A rear-end collision, we'll handle it however we have to, you won't be shortchanged by a single penny, but you won't get an extra penny either—if you really have any problems, my boss and I will definitely cover all the medical expenses."
"As for the car, it's covered by insurance, of course. The insurance representative will contact the owner. Are you the owner of this car? If not, you drove this car with the owner's consent, right? Please provide the owner's contact information."
The young man's face flushed slightly. "No, what do you mean?! You think I can't afford this car?!"
As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeve and showed He Xu the gold watch on her wrist.
He Xu, noticing the other party's deliberate behavior, was speechless. He didn't even want to give them a second glance and took out his phone to make a call.
Nearby, Huo Sili took the black umbrella from the car, opened it, and walked alone through the stationary vehicles to the sidewalk. He then called his butler, Zhou Fu, and began waiting for his car to arrive.
The man in front of He Xu was indeed feeling guilty and extremely anxious.
The car wasn't actually his; he had begged his wealthy cousin to let him drive it, claiming it was to help him get the car washed, but actually he was going to pick up the girl he'd been eyeing for a while and try to establish himself as a rich man in her eyes.
Now the car has been rear-ended on this very road...
This is not the way to the car wash at all. If his cousin, who owns the car, finds out, how is he supposed to explain it to the other party?
The man felt his face burning and became increasingly flustered, but He Xu naturally didn't have time to care what the person in front of him was thinking.
A phone call jolted the insurance company manager awake from his bed in the resort hotel. He rushed over without even getting dressed.
The snow fell heavier and heavier, and it took a lot of time for both sides to handle the matter. Some of the drivers in the surrounding area were a little upset, but given the previous experience and the fact that the road ahead was still congested, no one dared to make any rash moves.
Fortunately, the traffic police successfully cleared the congested section of road in a short time.
Carlos drove past the wrecked car, and Jiang Qin removed her hand from Tian Tian's eyes.
Sweetie wanted to look back, but she couldn't see anything anymore.
A little while later, probably because she hadn't slept enough this morning, Tian Tian fell asleep.
Jiang Qin took out a small blanket from her bag and draped it over her daughter.
After driving for a while, the car arrived at the shopping mall without incident.
Sweetie was fast asleep and hadn't woken up yet. At noon, they went to Su Lejia and Zhou Junxuan's new house for lunch, and Zhou Junxuan was in charge of cooking.
Song Xinye naturally took on the task of taking care of Tiantian, while the two sisters, Jiang Qin and Su Lejia, helped pick out vegetables.
Carlos and several bodyguards who had driven over separately followed behind the group to protect them. The group walked and stopped frequently, and the women were beautiful and the men were handsome, including a particularly handsome mixed-race boy, attracting many admiring glances along the way.
Some people were taking pictures, while a girl and her sister were expressing their amazement.
"Help! Look! She's so beautiful! Her beauty is killing me! I hope I can have eyes like that beautiful woman in my next life!"
Jiang Qin had good hearing, so she naturally heard everything. Out of the corner of her eye, she also noticed that the two girls were looking at her.
But I didn't feel anything special. However, I did have some mixed feelings about something else at that moment—
If she hadn't run into Horst yesterday, she certainly wouldn't have come out so blatantly today.
But now, she finds herself fearless in hiding from Horsley.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed when Carlos and the others suggested following them directly, because she felt it would be too conspicuous, and she was afraid that the current situation would repeat itself.
But now, Jiang Qin finds herself no longer afraid.
After all, he faked his death to avoid Horsley and wanted to have nothing to do with him anymore, but now, time and reality have proven that entanglements are not so easy to completely erase.
Since things have come to this point, and there's no way to change or avoid them, the only thing to do is convince yourself to accept it.
Jiang Qin picked through the vegetables, glanced at Su Lejia, then at Song Xinye carrying Tiantian behind her, and finally at Carlos and the others. She then thought of Aunt Zhou, who was cleaning the villa at the moment.
That feeling of emptiness I had in Kyoto three years ago is gone forever.
Jiang Qin knew why, because in these three years, she was never alone and helpless. She had friends and relationships that were closer than family. She was surrounded by love and kindness.
She gives kindness and love, and in return, she receives kindness and love in return. This kind of life aligns with her values.
Over the past three years, it was this positive energy that gradually healed her mind and body, allowing her to recover from the severe trauma she suffered three years ago.
As for Horsley, she gave so much love to so many people, only to be met with immense suspicion and hurt in return.
Let it go with the wind; it's a complete black history.
……
Jiang Qin didn't expect that after picking out vegetables and buying some seasonings, she would see a somewhat familiar face when she passed a shelf on her way to the supermarket checkout.
To be precise, they are supermarket sales clerks.
Jiang Qin was somewhat surprised, but she was confident that she couldn't be mistaken.
The other person had obviously seen her too, and was somewhat stunned before abruptly turning their face away.
It's Fu Rongying.
Jiang Qin couldn't understand why Fu Rongying, as the chief secretary of the prestigious Huo family, would be here.
But she knew very well that the other person was indeed wearing a sales clerk's uniform. This supermarket was quite large and very professional, and the employee uniforms were bright red with the supermarket's brand logo printed on both sides.
The logo is printed on the front of the garment, while the back features an enlarged version of the logo, with the width of the design almost filling the entire back of the garment.
She couldn't possibly be mistaken.
"What's wrong, Qinqin?" Su Lejia, who was walking beside her, noticed Jiang Qin's gaze and looked over as well.
But she didn't see anyone. Fu Rongying had noticed Jiang Qin's gaze earlier, so she went inside the shelf and hid.
This made Jiang Qin even more certain that she hadn't misread it.
However, not knowing what to say for the moment, he said, "I saw an acquaintance, let's talk about it when we get back."
Su Lejia nodded and didn't ask any more questions, assuming that Jiang Qin was afraid of disturbing Tian Tian's sleep.
Looking back at the little one Song Xinye was holding, Tian Tian was still asleep. It was clear that she had been woken up too early this morning by the aroma of breakfast, having passed by several tasting areas.
Even with the small cakes and bread that Sweetie likes, the little girl still didn't wake up.
"So, what did you just see?"
When they arrived at the new house, Tian Tian woke up for a few minutes and said she wanted her mother to hold her. Jiang Qin took Tian Tian from Song Xinye's arms, held her and comforted her for a while, and when she saw that Tian Tian had fallen asleep again, she put Tian Tian on the bed with railings.
After covering herself with the blanket, Su Lejia pulled Jiang Qin aside and asked.
Jiang Qin thought for a moment and said truthfully, "Three years ago, after I resigned, the new chief secretary of Huo's was named Fu Rongying, Fu as in 'paying off,' Rong as in 'lotus,' and Ying as in 'cherry blossom.'"
“I felt something was off about her back then, like she was a corporate spy, and with Huo…” Jiang Qin frowned slightly, then cut to the chase and said, “I warned him once, but I don’t know what happened after that.”
"Then just now at the supermarket." Jiang Qin paused as she helped wash the vegetables, feeling that what she was saying was too absurd.
She glanced at Su Lejia, her eyes widening with a complicated expression. "I saw a saleswoman over there on the shelf just now, but I didn't pay much attention. I think she was in the toiletries section? I recognized her as Fu Rongying."
"Ah..." Su Lejia opened her mouth wide, quite surprised.
However, Su Lejia, who had been following the gossip closely, soon realized that it wasn't actually that surprising.
Because it's actually quite easy to understand.
She guessed that Fu Rongying wanted to stay in the big city, perhaps for the sake of face, or perhaps to escape her family of origin.
In short, there was a reason why she was unwilling to leave Kyoto, but Huo Sili discovered her involvement in corporate espionage. In a fit of anger, Huo Sili cut off Fu Rongying's escape route, causing her to be fired and face setbacks in her job search.
In the end, Fu Rongying had no choice but to choose some jobs with lower requirements.
However, for someone who can become the chief secretary of a large corporation, such a drop in status is simply devastating.
But as bystanders, we need to have the manners of bystanders. What do you call that?
This is called doing something immoral; it's something you really shouldn't do.
Knowing full well that it was a large corporation, they still dared to do those shady things. Who can they blame?
To be honest, when it comes to business warfare, Su Lejia thinks Huo Sili was too lenient.
After all, as far as she knew, people in Huo Sili's position were capable of killing people; she had recently learned a true story about it.
In the ensuing struggle, one side used a pretext to imprison the other's key lieutenant, and then, while in prison, they got him killed.
Power is like a den of dragons and tigers; to get close to it, you have to see if you're tough enough.
If you don't stand firm and just have to endure it, aren't you just making trouble for yourself?
……
At the Huo family's old residence, the white nanny van that the old lady used most often was parked in front of the gate.
The guard at the gate quickly stepped forward to open the car door. Huo Sili had just gotten out of the car. Although she had aged three years, the old lady Qiu Huilan, who looked more energetic and healthier because she had paid more attention to exercise in the past three years, was helped out of the gate by Sister Wu.
His voice was both powerful and sarcastic from the moment he opened his mouth.
"Hey, who's back? Let me see... Oh, it's the guy who crashed someone's car today!"
Horstley: "..."
