Chapter 93 We signed the divorce agreement and filed for divorce.
Jiang Qin's beautiful brows suddenly furrowed, and then, as if she suddenly remembered something, a look of helplessness appeared in her eyes.
"Husley, you're twenty-eight years old this year," Jiang Qin said calmly.
She looked him straight in the eye as she spoke, her tone dripping with annoyance: "Can you please stop being so boring?"
Huo Sili's expression was cold. "You think I'm lying to you? Jiang Qin, is this lie very interesting?"
Jiang Qin frowned, about to say something, when Huo Sili interrupted her.
"If you loved my elder brother, why did you marry me in the first place? Since you chose me and became my wife, you should have kept your feelings hidden. Why did you expose them to me?"
What is all this?
Jiang Qin frowned, wondering if she was dreaming within a dream.
But in that instant, something suddenly came to her mind from a distant memory.
Then, his gaze fell on Hollis's right wrist.
Horstley had a pale complexion and a crescent-shaped mark on his right wrist, resembling a burn scar.
But Jiang Qin couldn't be sure of the specific reason for its formation. All she knew was that she had seen that crescent moon eight years ago.
It was also from such a hand.
And the face of the person who saved her eight years ago looks almost exactly like Huo Sili.
The reason I say "almost" is because a full eight years have passed, and even for the same person, there would be some changes.
That person's name was Chi Shen.
Four years ago, the moment she met Huo Sili, she always felt that Huo Sili was Chi Shen.
Because of that scar, because of that face, and also because Horsley was in a car accident eight years ago.
The car accident was so serious that he once told her he must have forgotten a lot of things.
Therefore, she became even more certain that the person in front of her was Chi Shen.
Eight years ago, she was sixteen years old and a minor. Jiang Qin remembers that day very clearly. It was quite late, around nine or ten o'clock at night, when her grandmother suddenly received a call from Wang Peilan.
Wang Peilan, who had been away from Kyoto for a long time, said that she, her husband, and son had come to Beijing.
I said I was just stopping by to visit her and her grandmother and bring them some things.
Her tone was tinged with guilt, but she didn't really feel anything. After all, it was someone who abandoned her and ran away with the money when she was about to turn five, even though his arm was cut and bleeding.
How could she possibly feel anything?
Between parents and children, the children have even less say. She was brought into this world so irresponsibly and abandoned and hurt in such a way. She felt that not fighting back was already a great act of filial piety.
But Grandma was kind-hearted and thought it was too late at the time, and the urban village where they lived had many alleys.
Adding to the panic was a murder that occurred nearby at the time.
Grandma then went out with her to pick up Wang Peilan.
Unfortunately, before they even left the community, the grandmother and granddaughter encountered a disgusting person in the alley, a drunkard who appeared to be under the influence of drugs.
Walking unsteadily and drunkenly, they were a few young men with dyed hair, what we would call "energetic young men" today.
At that time, the group of people looked very abnormal, and they were all holding bottles of alcohol.
Grandma noticed the group of people and pulled her to go to the other side, but the group of people noticed them at the same time.
He caught up with her, spewing out a string of particularly filthy words, and leering at her.
Grandma scolded her sternly, but to no avail. She then called the police, but it would take time for them to arrive.
But at that time, how could someone who intends to commit a crime have the leisure to wait?
The drunkards showed no fear whatsoever when they heard the police were called; instead, they became even more unruly.
Even though eight years have passed, Jiang Qin can never forget the fear, disgust, and despair she felt at that moment.
In the critical moment, a young man who happened to be passing by saved them.
That person was Chi Shen.
The reason she knew the other person's name was Chi Shen was because after he rescued them, he asked his friend to give them a ride, and she learned this from the conversation between his friend and him.
Pause in thought, Jiang Qin met Huo Sili's eyes and could tell he was serious.
Then, realizing something, Jiang Qin frowned deeply—
Only after he said that did she notice that Chi Shen and Chi Shen were pronounced exactly the same.
The reason she hadn't noticed this problem before was probably because she had never really cared about Brother Horstley.
After all, when they met, she would directly address him as "Big Brother" and never call him by his name. In her daily life, she would never even think of him.
After thinking all this through, Jiang Qin naturally realized that she was just talking in her sleep.
It's highly likely that he was calling for Chi Shen, and definitely not Huo Sili's older brother, Huo Chishen.
Horstley has misunderstood.
However, regarding Chi Shen...
How was she supposed to explain to Huo Sili that there was a person in the world named Chi Shen, and that person was him?
After all, just those words sound pretty strange.
Jiang Qin tried to put herself in that shoes. What if someone told her that eight years ago she had a completely different name, and that she had no memory of it at all?
Most likely, she'll think the other person is sick.
But without an explanation, Jiang Qin herself couldn't accept it.
After all, according to Huo Sili, she married him but had his older brother in her heart, which was rather disgusting.
Of course, it wasn't about disliking Huo Sili, but rather that she felt slandered and was very uncomfortable.
Jiang Qin quickly tidied herself up, thinking about how to say it.
But clearly, Horstley's patience was running out at this moment.
She had only spent a few dozen seconds thinking about what she had just said, but it was during those few dozen seconds of silence that his patience was about to run out. Just as Jiang Qin was about to speak, Huo Sili once again preemptively cut her off.
"What, your silence means you agree?"
A mocking sneer played on his lips.
"Jiang Qin, I didn't see that coming from you..."
"What about her?" Jiang Qin frowned, looking at Huo Sili.
Huo Sili stared at her with his deep, dark eyes, then suddenly stopped speaking and stood up.
Jiang Qin had intended to say something, but Huo Sili's words suddenly reminded her of everything that had happened before.
Afterwards, Huo Sili abandoned her and went to pick up Li Xueqian from the airport late at night. He took Li Xueqian, who had been slapped, home and personally applied medicine to her wounds.
Huo Sili abandoned her on his way home to go find Li Xueqian and attend the Li family's banquet.
Horstley forbade her from getting pregnant, saying he would personally accompany her to have an abortion otherwise.
Horstley said he had stopped liking her a long time ago, and added that he didn't want a divorce.
But this very morning, he wrapped his arms around most of Li Xueqian's body...
Jiang Qin also recalled how Huo Sili would bully her in various ways whenever he got jealous or possessive.
But what about him? Did he manage to control himself? Clearly not.
He's such a hypocrite.
Others are strict with themselves, but he is lenient with himself.
If that's the case, he always hurts her feelings. Now that something can hurt him, why should she think about trying to make amends?
At this moment, Jiang Qin suddenly became rebellious and didn't want to explain anything anymore.
Yeah, we're getting a divorce anyway.
Perfect, let him feel resentful and get him to print out and sign the divorce agreement sooner.
pretty good.
Moreover, this only happened now, while they started their cold war a year ago, so there's probably no connection between the two.
If that's the case, then the failure of their marriage ultimately stemmed from Horst's change of heart.
There's no need for explanations now; let's just speed up the divorce process, as fast as possible.
She longs to live a peaceful and tranquil life, free from the worry of being discovered pregnant and suffering.
"If that's how you think, there's nothing I can do about it."
After thinking all this through, Jiang Qin lost her patience. As she spoke, she stood up and looked up to meet Huo Sili's eyes.
However, compared to the deep darkness of his eyes, her gaze was exceptionally indifferent.
“But since you’re so disgusted with me,” Jiang Qin said, looking at Huo Sili, and added, word by word, “then let’s put the divorce on the agenda as soon as possible.”
Huo Sili's pupils contracted slightly, and his already dark eyes became even more unfathomable in an instant.
Jiang Qin looked at Huo Sili with a calm gaze and finished speaking in one breath.
“Now there is a cooling-off period for divorce. After submitting the application, you have to stay calm and wait 30 days before you can apply for a divorce certificate. It’s perfect. Let’s find some time to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau soon, sign the divorce agreement, submit the divorce application first, and wait for those 30 days.”
