Ch 330: if Line （12）

All the way until the sun set, the Huo family’s car drove into the Qi family’s gate.

Qi Anxu subconsciously stood up, a pale and slender hand beside him tugged at his clothes, “Brother…”

Qi Anxu paused, lowered his head, and saw Qi Anhui’s tearful face, “I really know I was wrong, please save me. I just want to go abroad now, and I will stay far away from Huo Yunjing and Gu Qingyin in the future, and never provoke them again.”

Qi Anhui still remembers how Gu Qingyin and Huo Yunjing killed ghosts without batting an eye. Although she didn’t see it with her own eyes, she could imagine it just from hearing about it. And the Taoist Master’s flattering pleas for mercy…

Qi Anxu was silent for two seconds, but his heart softened after all. He sighed, “I will do my best.”

Qi Anhui lowered her eyes and hummed. Now, her only reliance was her brother.

Light footsteps came from outside the door, unhurried but as if stepping on the hearts of the Qi family members.

Finally, Gu Qingyin, arm in arm with Huo Yunjing, the couple appeared together in front of the four members of the Qi family.

“President Huo!” Father Qi quickly stood up, greeting the two with a smiling face, “Sit! Please sit!”

Huo Yunjing naturally wouldn’t be polite, and led Gu Qingyin to the main seat.

Qi Anxu and Qi Anhui stood up, and Huo Yunjing and Gu Qingyin sat down with utmost naturalness.

“Uncle Qi,” Huo Yunjing said in a low voice, “I gave you a chance.”

Father Qi shivered instinctively, “We can explain about last night’s matter!”

“Oh?” Huo Yunjing raised an eyebrow, “Tell me about it.”

Gu Qingyin looked at Qi Anhui with a non-smiling expression, “Miss Qi, you wouldn’t say that you were controlled by someone last night, or… possessed by a ghost, would you?”

Qi Anhui limped and hid behind Qi Anxu, her voice trembling, “I’m sorry, I was obsessed, but I know I was wrong now, please let me go.”

Gu Qingyin chuckled, “I have no obligation to forgive you again and again, and educating you is not my responsibility.” Golden light flickered in her eyes, and when she spoke again, her voice carried a strange charm, “Qi Anhui, where did you get the contact information for that Taoist Master?”

Hearing this, the Qi family members all looked at Qi Anhui.

Qi Anhui’s body stiffened, instinctively not wanting to tell the truth, but at the moment she opened her mouth, her mind went blank, and she murmured, “It’s… Mother…”

“Anhui!” Mother Qi shouted loudly, “Don’t talk nonsense!”

Qi Anhui didn’t seem to hear, and continued, “Mother said that Taoist Master is very powerful and can make my wishes come true.”

Father Qi and Qi Anxu looked at Mother Qi in disbelief. Mother Qi shook her head in a panic, “That’s not true, Anhui is talking nonsense, how could I do such a thing.”

Gu Qingyin raised an eyebrow, “Madam Qi thinks my Mystical Arts are not accurate enough?”

Huo Yunjing also looked over with cold eyes.

Mother Qi became even more flustered, “No, I didn’t mean that!”

“Then what do you mean?” Gu Qingyin pressed, her voice becoming charming again, “That Taoist Master wasn’t introduced to Qi Anhui by you?”

The expression on Mother Qi’s face suddenly became calm, and her eyes became numb, “It was me.”

Qi Anxu was stunned when he saw this, and when he looked at Gu Qingyin again, he couldn’t help showing horror, and then he subconsciously looked at Huo Yunjing. He likes such a terrifying woman? Could it be that he’s being controlled!

Huo Yunjing glanced at him sideways, rolling his eyes in disgust.

Qi Anxu: …

“How did you meet the Taoist Master?” Gu Qingyin continued to ask.

Mother Qi didn’t speak, her subconscious was resisting, obviously this touched the secret she least wanted to face in her heart.

Gu Qingyin raised her eyebrows slightly, the charm in her voice stronger, “Tell me the truth.”

Mother Qi’s lips trembled, “I met him unintentionally. My husband doesn’t love me, so I asked the Taoist Master to help me with a small favor, so that all his attention would be on me and he wouldn’t fall in love with anyone else.”

Father Qi’s eyes widened when he heard this, and he looked at Mother Qi blankly.

Qi Anxu and Qi Anhui, who had temporarily regained consciousness, also couldn’t accept it.

The two siblings had always felt that their parents were very loving, and because they had felt the loving atmosphere of their parents since childhood, it also influenced their views on love. Both of them would rather be single than settle, and once they fell in love, they would be loyal to the death.

That’s why Qi Anhui was so obsessed with Huo Yunjing.

But now, their beloved mother actually said that the loving couple and perfect love in their eyes was actually fake?!

That’s right, Mom and Dad seemed to have quarreled just now… This had never happened in the past twenty years. Why? Was it because that Taoist Master was caught, so his spell also failed?

Father Qi’s eyes turned red, and the love in his heart for Mother Qi peeled away little by little…

Mother Qi came back to her senses, and when she saw Father Qi’s expression, she was startled. She didn’t remember what she had just said, but she had a premonition that something bad had happened.

She opened her mouth and called out softly, like every time she made Father Qi angry, “Husband…”

But as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Father Qi roar with disgust, “Shut up! I’m not your husband! You disgust me!”

Mother Qi’s eyes turned red immediately, and she looked at her children helplessly, only to see that they were also looking at her with disappointment.

“What’s wrong? What’s wrong with all of you?” Mother Qi took a step back, unable to bear it, “What happened?” She suddenly reacted and looked at Gu Qingyin sharply, “What did I say?”

Gu Qingyin blinked innocently, “You said everything that should and shouldn’t be said.”

Mother Qi’s eyes went black immediately, and she fell back onto the sofa.

Father Qi continued to take deep breaths, staring at Mother Qi and said in a deep voice, “Let’s get divorced. You won’t be shorted of what you deserve.”

Mother Qi’s body trembled, and a miserable smile appeared on the corner of her lips, but she didn’t object.

Qi Anhui covered her mouth and choked out, “It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault…”

If she hadn’t been so determined to be with Huo Yunjing, her mother wouldn’t have softened and introduced the Taoist Master to her, and this wouldn’t have happened today. Their family would still be as good as before.

In comparison, although Qi Anxu couldn’t accept it either, he was much more rational.

“Mistakes should be corrected.” He pursed his lips and said, “This matter itself is unfair to Dad.”

Qi Anhui closed her eyes and sobbed.

Having finished watching the farce, Huo Yunjing got up with waning interest and announced, “For Qi Anxu’s sake, I’ll give you one month to transfer assets. After one month, the Huo Corporation will comprehensively suppress the companies belonging to the Qi family.”

Huo Yunjing looked at Qi Anxu, “How much you can save depends on your ability.”

Qi Anxu twitched his lips, “You’re not waiting for me to thank you, are you?”

“No need.” Huo Yunjing took Gu Qingyin’s hand and said the last sentence, “Don’t come back to Yuncity in the future.”

On the way back in the car, Huo Yunjing asked, “Do you think I’m being soft-hearted?”

“Hmm?” Gu Qingyin thought carefully, “For them, this punishment is already very severe.”

Huo Yunjing was silent for a long time before twitching his lips and saying, “That’s true.”
