Secretary Jiang throws out the divorce papers, and President Huo loses control with red eyes.

Chapter 188 Secretary Jiang Throws Away the Divorce Papers!

The pen had already touched the man's slender fingers.

But after a second, two seconds, the finger curled slightly and withdrew backward.

He refuses to accept the pen.

Jiang Qin knew what was going on, and with her emotions running high, her eyes reddened even more.

Huo Sili's eyes also reddened. "Qinqin, I don't want to sign. I don't want to divorce you."

Jiang Qin found it amusing.

But the handsome, familiar face before him revealed a genuine, unmistakable fear.

Not only that, Horstley was also backing away.

Jiang Qin composed herself, glanced down at his retreating motion, and then looked up again to meet his eyes.

"Hosley, sign."

He said this very calmly.

But it wasn't a reassuring calm; rather, it felt like the prelude to a storm.

For some reason, everyone present was hesitant to look.

The servants usually greeted Jiang Qin with gentleness and warmth, but this time, they could clearly sense an suffocating chill in her calm words.

Everyone was momentarily surprised.

Their gazes were cautiously cast toward the second young master, whom they usually dared not look at. Seeing that the man's handsome face was clearly pale, they were even more shocked.

At this moment, Qiu Huilan, sitting at the main table, felt a complex mix of emotions as she looked at the two younger generation members.

There was tea on the table beside me, its aroma delicate and refreshing, which should have calmed my mind and brought peace of mind.

But it was of no use at this moment.

Looking ahead, Qiu Huilan saw the two of them locked in a stalemate and couldn't help but want to say something to ease the tension.

But just then, the real storm arrived.

Snapped! ——

A white shadow swooped down.

The bound divorce papers were thrown heavily onto Horsley's chest.

Amidst everyone's shock, Jiang Qin spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Hosley, I'm telling you, I want a divorce! If you don't want a divorce, that's your business. Since you promised me you'd divorce me on Wednesday, why can't you do it?"

"If you truly respect me and don't want a divorce, why have you repeatedly done things over the past year that you knew would hurt me?"

"Just because of a dream you could treat me like that? The love you want, I, Jiang Qin, can't give you!"

"So, let me go, and let yourself go, okay? I'll say it again, I want a divorce!"

Her words were like a sharp knife.

It easily pierced through the fear he had hidden beneath the Cold War that had lasted for a year.

The reality of their marriage over the past year has been laid bare before everyone present.

Jiang Qin, who always speaks softly and is polite and gentle, raised her voice and shouted out with a heart full of grievances.

This left everyone present stunned.

The stunned Huo Sili turned pale instantly, his lips pressed into a thin line, and his eyes suddenly filled with blood.

"I'm sorry... Qinqin."

He tried to step forward, but Jiang Qin raised her hand.

Snapped! ——

despair.

The pen was also thrown hard at him.

He fell to the ground.

The crisp sound made all the servants and bodyguards present immediately lower their heads, not daring to look at the situation between the two masters.

The old lady in the main seat, after letting out a long sigh, suddenly felt inexplicably relieved.

"Good! Good for you! I knew it. Ever since I got old, I've said that your relationship wasn't right."

Qiu Huilan snorted and turned her gaze to Huo Sili, whose face was deathly pale.

"But at that time, Qinqin protected you. She even attempted suicide by cutting her wrists, but she still protected you."

"As things stand now, all I can say is, you brat, you really don't deserve Qinqin's affection!"

"Hurry up, sign the divorce papers, let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau!"

"I won't sign."

Despite saying so much, all I received was a rejection.

Upon hearing this refusal, the servants and bodyguards present couldn't help but feel a pang of worry for Horstley.

However, the elderly woman, whose condition had basically recovered, was clearly in a very stable mood.

"You won't sign? If you don't sign, will your wife continue to live with you?"

As Qiu Huilan spoke, she glanced at Jiang Qin with affection, then looked at her grandson with eyes full of disappointment and disdain. "You brat, wake up!"

Horst looked at the old lady sitting in the main seat.

His eyes were bloodshot, and there was a hint of tears welling up in them.

Qiu Huilan glanced at Huo Sili, her meaning unchanged.

"Pick up the pen and sign it."

Just then, Jiang Qin lost her balance and fell to the side in front of Huo Sili. Huo Sili's pupils contracted, and he was about to go forward to help her up.

After hearing what the old lady said, Sister Wu, who looked up and was looking ahead, noticed her and quickly stepped forward to help her.

"Second Young Madam, are you alright?"

He couldn't help but look at Huo Sili, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

He didn't say a word, but how could Horstley not understand at this moment?

That was clearly urging him on.

Let's sign the divorce papers quickly and put an end to this marriage.

Huo Sili saw Jiang Qin being helped to a seat by Sister Wu, and then he was glared at by the old lady with anger.

It finally seems like a decision has been made.

He bent down and picked up the divorce agreement that had been thrown at him and fallen to the ground.

He picked up the pen again.

……

"We've already registered. Remember to come and get your marriage certificate in thirty days."

Successfully registering for divorce at the Civil Affairs Bureau was something Jiang Qin hadn't expected.

However, once she left the Civil Affairs Bureau, she knew perfectly well that she wouldn't be able to get the divorce certificate.

"Alright, Qinqin, you must be tired. Grandma will have someone take you back to Moonlight Bay. Go back and get some rest. As for that brat, Grandma will teach him a lesson for you."

"Yes, thank you, Grandma."

Outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, Jiang Qin said goodbye to Qiu Huilan and got into the car that came to pick her up.

Just a second before she got into the car, a particularly direct gaze lingered on her.

She knew it was his.

But he didn't even glance at her.

The bodyguard thoughtfully closed the car door, keenly sensing that someone was watching them, and professionally looked back in the direction of the gaze.

Then I felt extremely conflicted.

The black bulletproof van drove away.

He Xu glanced at Huo Sili, then looked at the black van that was leaving for Moonlight Bay.

Unable to hold back any longer, he let out a soft sigh, but just as he finished, a voice rang out.

It was from the old lady. "Go back to the old house and have a good chat with your grandma."

The tone was unquestionable.

Horstley’s tone reflected this as well.

"I don't want to go back to the old house." Huo Sili looked at Qiu Huilan with a firm gaze. "I want to go back to Yunhai Huafu."

Qiu Huilan opened her mouth, then closed it again.

It's getting a bit annoying to open it again.

"Fine, I'm too lazy to comfort you. You're a grown man—just don't bother Qinqin at Moonlit Bay anymore. You're twenty-eight this year..."

You should also know what you should and shouldn't do. When the relationship is over, it's over. Learn to let go!

He hadn't finished speaking.

Speaking of the twenty-eighth.

The tall man turned and walked away, his back looking lonely and desolate, and he walked very fast.

A cool breeze blew by, and Qiu Huilan was stunned for a moment. Sister Wu next to her put a scarf on the old lady.

"Grandma, don't worry about it. The second young master is a grown man, he'll definitely be able to understand."

The black Cullinan drove off on the road ahead, heading in the direction of Yunhai Huafu.

Qiu Huilan nodded, "Never mind, I'm an old woman, and I really don't want to worry about these things anymore."

"Let the children handle this themselves. As long as my Qinqin is well, that's all that matters."

"As for that brat, let him be. Even if he's not good enough, there's still the Huo family. How bad can he get? Don't you think so?" The question was directed at Sister Wu.

Sister Wu could naturally tell that the old lady was just trying to comfort herself.

Actually, they were still worried that the second young master might do something foolish or irrational.

She quickly reassured him, "That's right, the second young master is a grown man, this kind of thing will definitely pass quickly, and the second young mistress will also be able to get through it. Both of you will be fine in the future, so please don't worry, madam."

Hearing these words, Qiu Huilan seemed truly at ease.

After getting in the car, he didn't mention Huo Sili and Jiang Qin's divorce again for several days.

Meanwhile, in Moonlit Bay, Jiang Qin had already made arrangements for her life abroad.

They maintained constant contact with Song Xinye to keep track of the specific operational procedures for the fake death service.

It seems that Horstley has truly faded from her life.

……

Sunday arrived in the blink of an eye, and there was only one week left until the day of the fake death.

On the first floor of Moonlight Bay, after having breakfast early in the morning, Jiang Qin got into her car as usual and headed to the old house.

However, she felt a little uneasy, unlike usual, because today she was going to do something big—

The story of faking death to leave the country.

She had to tell the old lady.
