Chapter 171: An Eye-Opening Experience
The curtains in the ward were drawn at that moment, so passersby couldn't see inside.
But seeing Huo Sili's actions, He Xu was truly unsure whether he should go in or not.
However, he also stood guard at the door to prevent anyone from passing by and seeing Horstley's inappropriate behavior.
But noticing that Li Xueqian's face had turned a purplish-red, and that things were likely to get worse if this continued, He Xu started to panic. Of course, it wasn't because he was afraid of anything, since he had previously worked as a hitman abroad.
The problem is that this is in the country, and this is Ancheng, not Ruikang.
It's not the Huo family's private property either; if something goes wrong, it won't be easy to handle.
Moreover, Lai Suet-Chien is a public figure, so if she suddenly disappears, it would obviously be even more difficult to handle the situation.
It wouldn't do Huo Sili any good; the only benefit would probably be that it would make him feel better.
While it might be satisfying to sacrifice one's reputation, the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages, making it a clear loss.
"Mr. Huo, please calm down." Thinking of this, and noticing that Li Xueqian's expression was getting worse, He Xu didn't dare to delay any longer. He pushed the door open a little, slipped inside, and locked the door behind him.
He strode over and pulled Horstley away.
He didn't usually disobey Horstley's orders, but this time, he had to take charge.
Even though... Huo Sili turned around and glanced at him indifferently, that look made He Xu feel a chill.
He Xu quickly released Huo Sili.
He chuckled dryly and patted the haute couture shirt that had been messed up by the sudden force.
At the same time, Li Xueqian, whose neck suddenly felt no more pressure, felt as if she had just escaped death.
"Cough! Cough cough...!!" She coughed violently, and her face, which was already not in good condition due to the fracture and other factors, became even more ashen, like paint on a wall.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Horst became filled with fear.
As Huo Sili approached again, Li Xueqian quickly tried to get off the smart bed in the VIP ward.
Before she could even get down, Horstley coldly called her to a stop.
"Li Xueqian, have I ever mistreated you over the years? Why did you say such misunderstandings?"
"Do you remember what I said? I said I have a wife, and that won't change!"
"I also said, there will be no next time, there will be no next time!"
At this moment, Horstley's exceptionally handsome face was no longer as calm and composed as before; he looked like a sculpture.
At this moment, every gesture of Huo Sili was filled with a deep anger at being deceived.
Through Huo Sili's words, He Xu finally felt as if he understood something.
So, Li Xueqian's pregnancy and obstetrics and gynecology issues have absolutely nothing to do with his master.
He said that wherever President Huo went in private, he was basically by his side. How could he, as a confidant, not know anything about this affair with a woman and the fact that she had a child?
It turns out that Miss Li is quite bold, turning everyone into her audience to watch her perform!
Tsk, if it's going to be a play, then it's a play, but they actually managed to get President Huo into it as one of the main characters. Tsk, they're really courting death!
At this moment, having figured things out, He Xu's eyes widened, and he suddenly felt as if he were seeing "Superman"—
An incredibly audacious and insane person!
“Brother Sili, I’m sorry, but, but I had no choice! I didn’t mean to, I didn’t know your grandmother and Secretary Jiang would be coming at that time…”
He Xu was surprised that even in this situation, Li Xueqian would cry first, and she even spoke as if someone was deliberately bullying her.
Fortunately, He Xu didn't have to swallow his anger this time, because Huo Sili directly attacked him.
"You have no choice? You're pushing me into a fire pit because you have no other options?"
"What, is my shield working so well? Fine, from today onwards, all your projects with the Huo family are canceled. Also, your previous advertising campaign has been consistently losing money, so according to the contract, the contract has to be terminated as well."
"You should pay the compensation you owe. From now on, don't come to me for any resources or roles. If you do it again, you'll be blacklisted."
"Slick, you...you can't do this to me!..."
Li Xueqian didn't care much about Huo Sili's previous words, because she probably expected that she might be taught a lesson. But after hearing this, she could no longer remain calm.
There's a film crew she really likes, but most of the roles have already been decided internally. She's thinking of getting Huo Sili involved.
And does his statement mean he will never help her again?
Li Xueqian froze completely. "Brother Sili, I... I didn't mean to ruin your marriage with Secretary Jiang... I... I'm really pregnant, I don't know what to do..."
Upon hearing this, Huo Sili, who had already turned to leave, furrowed his brows even more deeply.
He Xu, who was standing to the side, also had his eyes opened by Xiao Dao's actions.
Unable to hold back any longer, he turned to look at the pale-faced woman who was trying to morally blackmail him, and said coldly.
"Miss Li, your character is questionable. Was it really you who saved President Huo eight years ago? You didn't just save him because you saw it was President Huo, did you? Your act of taking advantage of a favor is truly textbook-level, it's an eye-opener!"
Before He Xu could say anything more, Huo Sili turned around and glanced at him. He Xu shut his mouth and followed Huo Sili's steps.
Inside the ward, Li Xueqian's eyes were glazed over, and she was muttering to herself. Suddenly, she looked at her phone.
At Moonlit Bay, Jiang Qin saw an unfamiliar call from Kyoto, the city she was supposed to call. She immediately hung up and blocked the number, not even giving it a second glance.
After a while, having made up her mind, Jiang Qin picked up her phone and dialed Song Xinye's number.
The call connected instantly, and Jiang Qin got straight to the point: "Brother Song, sorry to bother you, but I wanted to ask you something. Does your company offer a fake death service?"
