northernbook Chapter 135 Princess Carry
Chapter 135 Princess Carry
A few minutes later, Cullinan arrived at the villa, and the bodyguards guarding him all knew the license plate number of Horstley's car.
Upon seeing the car, his expression became complicated. Huo Sili rolled down the window and called someone over.
Upon asking, his face darkened, "Gone?"
The bodyguard nodded respectfully: "Yes, Second Young Master, the Second Young Madam has already gone to the old mansion."
Huo Sili seemed unconvinced, but just as he was about to say something more, the old lady Qiu Huilan called.
Reluctantly, Huo Sili swiped to answer the phone: "Grandma."
Qiu Huilan's voice was loud and clear, and it was obvious that the old lady was full of energy at the moment, clearly indicating that her illness was about to be completely cured. "What do you mean 'grandma'? Didn't you hear what your grandfather said? This past week, you haven't been our grandson at all!"
The whip marks on his back were extremely painful. Having barely slept all night, Huo Sili raised his hand and pinched the space between his eyebrows.
But when he spoke to the old lady, he maintained the obedient manner of a grandson: "So, what is the purpose of this phone call?"
Qiu Huilan's tone was a bit arrogant: "What did I do? I was just asking where you were. I heard from Xiao He that you drove out alone early this morning. Are you busy with work on a Sunday?"
Horst glanced at the villa's plaque and then carefully surveyed the villa's courtyard.
I didn't see anyone, so I rolled up the window and turned the car around.
He said, "No."
Why is it so slow to reply with just one word, "no"? And then you just stop talking?
Qiu Huilan frowned slightly on her loving face, a little unhappy, but after glancing at the old man sitting to the side, she didn't want to scold her beloved second grandson anymore.
Because if he's too fierce, the old man will probably give this brat another beating.
"Okay, then hurry back. We're going to take a family photo today, as well as a golden wedding anniversary photo of me and your grandfather."
Take a family photo.
Huo Sili's eyes flickered, and the coldness that had just been on his face softened considerably upon hearing those three words, becoming more gentle.
The old lady's voice continued: "You've already made an appointment with the photography company. Since you're not out working, stop dawdling and drive carefully. Go home now."
Horstley hummed in agreement.
After saying her last words, Qiu Huilan said, "Okay, that's all. I'm hanging up."
After saying that, without even giving Huo Sili a chance to say goodbye, the old lady pointed her index finger and hung up the call.
While driving, Huo Sili heard a crisp beep from his Bluetooth headset: "..."
After driving the car a little further, Horst suddenly had an idea.
In the eight years he could remember, it seemed that only the old lady, the old man, and her dared to hang up on him first.
And she was the only one who dared to block his number.
So, the car she was in...
Horst glanced at the license plate hanging on the back of the black van ahead, raising an eyebrow slightly.
Meanwhile, in the back seat of the black van.
As Jiang Qin listened to Li Zhiyuan's words, her expression gradually became serious, and her head began to spin.
What Li Zhiyuan just said was really impactful to her.
Li Zhiyuan continued, "That's how it is. So, I hope that we can meet again in person before you fly abroad."
"Although the Li family is far inferior to the Huo family, they are still influential and capable in the capital. Moreover, in the country you are going to, our influence is no less than that of the Huo family."
“I know this might be a big shock to you, but Xiaoqin, I sincerely hope you can consider what I just said. If you've made up your mind, feel free to call or text me anytime. My WeChat ID is this number.”
"Also, if you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me, and I will help you."
On the other end of the phone, Li Zhiyuan spoke sincerely.
However, upon hearing the last sentence, despite feeling dizzy, Jiang Qin couldn't empathize at all.
After all, no one but Li Zhiyuan could have leaked her trip to the embassy to Huo Sili.
As for the woman Li Zhiyuan mentioned, she might be his daughter.
If Li Zhiyuan had appeared many years ago, she would definitely have been happy.
But I've gotten used to it over the years, especially recently, having experienced so much, so it's understandable to hear Li Zhiyuan say that now.
To be honest, Jiang Qin felt no emotion whatsoever.
“If we are destined to meet, we will meet again. A forced relationship will not be sweet. Besides, if I were your daughter, wouldn’t I be Miss Li’s sister? I’m sorry, Mr. Li, this is too complicated. I don’t want a sister like that.”
Children are a mirror of the family.
They are also a mirror of their parents.
Besides, she's no longer the little girl who longed for a father and mother.
After all, there are quite a few girls in this world whose parents are unhappy.
"Let's leave it at that. If we're meant to meet, we will. If not, I hope Chairman Li won't force it."
The phone call ended with a beep. Jiang Qin lifted the curtains. This villa was close to the old house, and it was only a ten-minute walk from the Huo family's old house.
Just as I was about to lower the car curtains, suddenly, a car appeared in the adjacent lane.
As the driver's side window rolled down, Jiang Qin suddenly met Huo Sili's dark eyes.
Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the curtains were suddenly pulled down.
Ten minutes later, the car stopped, and the bodyguard's voice came through the communicator.
"Second Young Madam, we've arrived at the old residence."
The car door unlocked, and Jiang Qin responded with a "okay," unbuckled her seatbelt, and was about to push the door open and get out of the car.
Suddenly, the car door was pulled open from the outside, and Jiang Qin's heart skipped a beat as she was confronted with Huo Sili's face.
She tried to hide, but couldn't. Huo Sili stretched out his long arm and picked her up in a princess carry.
Jiang Qin was about to struggle when she smelled a distinct metallic scent emanating from the man, and she froze, her movements halting.
Huo Sili's dark eyes swept over the slightly stunned face of the person in his arms, and he strode inside with the person in his arms.
