Chapter 84 Good Deeds Bring Good Fortune
Good baby.
Jiang Qin was stunned for a moment, and then the heat on her face and ears slowly faded away.
"..." She pursed her pink lips and turned her head to the side.
After a while, Hollis was probably too sleepy, and the strength of his arm around her waist noticeably lessened.
Jiang Qin tried to move away, but as soon as she touched him, Huo Sili seemed to have pressed some kind of on/off switch, and suddenly pulled her close again.
Jiang Qin: "..."
Turning his head to look, he saw that Horstley's eyes were closed.
If I can't break free, this is the only way for now.
Fortunately, Huo Sili soon regained consciousness, and upon noticing that he was awake, Jiang Qin immediately pried his hands off.
He sat up, got out of bed, tidied himself up, and quickly went downstairs to his study to work.
Behind him, Huo Sili watched Jiang Qin's retreating figure, his eyes, which had just regained their clarity, gradually darkening again.
……
The following day, at the Huo Group headquarters, at 10:30 a.m.
Jiang Qin is in good condition; she has finished reviewing paper documents and dealt with most of her emails.
This afternoon, Jiang Qin had to accompany her mother to her acupuncture session. After stretching her muscles and drinking some warm water, she continued working.
But before he could type more than a few words, there was a knock on the door.
The voice was unfamiliar, the rhythm was chaotic, and it sounded somewhat timid and lacked confidence.
Jiang Qin raised an eyebrow, almost instantly noticing something amiss—this shouldn't be any of Huo's employees knocking.
After all, the people who come here are mostly senior executives or secretaries-general of departments. These people deal with people every day and occasionally have to represent the Huo family to negotiate business with clients and hand over project information.
Knocking on the door like that is clearly illogical.
Moreover, the sound of knocking was coming from the wrong location... the sound source was too low, and the employees at the Huo Group headquarters are not that short.
However, since it was broad daylight and there were security guards downstairs, Jiang Qin wasn't worried about any strange people running in.
After saying "Please come in," Jiang Qin was still even more puzzled when she saw who came in.
"Secretary Jiang!"
Yuan Yue came in carrying a gift bag.
Jiang Qin's gaze swept over the gift bag in Yuan Yue's hand, then returned to Yuan Yue's face.
The young woman probably hadn't been Li Xueqian's assistant for many years, because she genuinely hadn't picked up any of Li Xueqian's acting skills at all.
The little girl's expression at that moment was so strange that it was hard not to notice that something was wrong.
Of course, it's also possible that Yuan Yue didn't mean to harm her, so she deliberately reminded her.
"Secretary Jiang, I've come today to thank you for helping me last time and for giving me that sanitary napkin."
Yuan Yue came forward and placed the gift bag she was carrying on her desk.
Jiang Qin watched as Yuan Yue continued to reach out her hand.
A very small piece of paper was held between his fingers.
Jiang Qin raised an eyebrow slightly.
Yuan Yue met her gaze, and while continuing to talk, she took out the small piece of paper and handed it to her.
"This bag contains some snacks that I made myself. I hope Secretary Jiang will like them."
Jiang Qin took the small piece of paper and saw extremely fine black writing on it—
[There was a voice recorder, given to me by Sister Xuexue. I don't know what it was for, but I recorded it according to her instructions.]
After scanning the area, Jiang Qin naturally understood most of it.
It seems that Li Xueqian has not given up her evil intentions. She probably couldn't stand seeing her at the airport, so Huo Sili abandoned her and came to meet her and the old lady.
Or perhaps they simply couldn't stand her secret marriage with Huo Sili, so they harbored malicious intentions and sent people to harm her.
Jiang Qin didn't know what to say about this, but she was still somewhat grateful for Yuan Yue's actions.
After all, she is pregnant now, and even if she didn't know, she probably wouldn't eat the so-called snacks.
But thinking that it's a token of the other person's affection, they'll probably still open it to take a look.
But now that she knows it was given to her by Li Xueqian, she naturally doesn't want to touch it and just wants to throw it in the trash.
After all, who knows if it contains desserts?
Yuan Yue ultimately helped her in the end.
"Okay, thank you, I'll try it."
Jiang Qin mouthed the words in sync with Yuan Yue's lip movements, and Yuan Yue said a few more words before the two said their "amicable farewell."
Click, the door to the CEO's office just closed.
Yuan Yue's phone vibrated outside the door; it was Li Xueqian calling, "Did you give them the things?"
"Yes, Sister Xuexue. She just came out."
Yuan Yue feigned fear in her voice.
Li Xueqian was furious at her lack of self-confidence: "What are you cowardly about? Give her some medicine to make her period come early. The Huo Group annual meeting is coming up soon, and I'm going to attend it. I can't let her steal my thunder, do you understand?"
After saying that, Li Xueqian scolded herself, "Really, what did I say to you? Okay, come back as soon as you're done. Don't worry, the medicine won't suspect you. That stuff takes several days to take effect."
……
It's midnight in the president's office at the Huo Group headquarters.
Jiang Qin got up to go to the restaurant, and picked up the gift bag as she went.
It's not a good thing; she wouldn't even touch it without feeling it was dirty.
They wrapped tissues around the straps of the gift bags when they were being carried.
When Huo Sili came out of the inner room, he happened to see Jiang Qin carrying the gift bag out with a tissue wrapped around the handle, looking extremely disgusted.
"what?"
This question made Jiang Qin pause for a moment.
"Miss Li had her assistant deliver these to me; they said they were snacks. Would you like some? I can bring them to you."
Horst raised an eyebrow, strode over, and took the gift bag.
Jiang Qin paused slightly, but a few minutes later...
As they descended the same elevator and appeared at the restaurant entrance around the same time, Jiang Qin saw Huo Sili throw the gift bag into a large trash can near the restaurant entrance.
Jiang Qin's eyes widened in disbelief.
What does he mean by that?
