Chapter 532: Sacrifice
Even when he said these words, his face was still indifferent.
……
Half an hour later, the two went down the mountain and sat in the car.
The rain continued to fall, and the cold wind struck, as if it was about to penetrate into the flesh.
But the rain was about to stop, and Catherine heard droplets of water hanging from the branches dripping into the puddles.
Just then, her cell phone rang, and Catherine, hearing the ring, took it out of her bag.
On the mobile phone, there are three words Xu Yunqi.
When she saw these three words, Catherine's hand tightened slightly.
The sound of the mobile phone whining and vibrating naturally spread in the confined space in the car, and Huo Shaoting, who was sitting on the side, naturally heard this voice, and he glanced at her mobile phone.
Then, he asked, "Don't you take it?" ”
Catherine heard his words, looked down at her phone, looked at it for a long time, and she answered the call in front of him.
When Huo Shaoting answered the call, his eyes withdrew from her and looked ahead.
Xu Yunqi asked on the phone: "Aren't you in the hotel?" ”
Catherine said, "I'm still in the orphanage." ”
"Do you want me to pick it up?"
"No, I'll be back later."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you in your room."
"yes, okay."
After Catherine finished making this call, she held the phone tightly in her hand and said to Huo Shaoting, "Send me back." ”
Huo Shaoting heard her words, and he didn't have any superfluous words, he said to the driver, "Let's go." ”
The cold rain was still lapping the puddle, and after a while, the driver's car drove through the puddle, leaving a string of exhaust fumes in the cold rain.
When the car arrived at Catherine's hotel, she pushed the door open and got out of the car, but of course she got out of the car without saying hello.
Huo Shaoting sat in the car and watched, without saying anything.
Catherine felt like she was getting into the elevator, and she still felt like she had the clammy smell of the cemetery.
She pressed the elevator and watched it go up one floor at a time.
After climbing the elevator for a long time, she heard the elevator clang, and the elevator door opened.
Catherine came to her senses and stepped out of the elevator.
When she opened the door with her fingerprints, Xu Yunqi had been sitting inside waiting for her for a long time, and when he saw her come in, he asked with a smile: "Are you back?" ”
Catherine put down the bag in her hand and walked quickly towards him: "Sorry, I made you wait for me again today." ”
After she walked to Xu Yunqi's side, Xu Yunqian's hand held her wrist: "It's okay, waiting for you, for me, it's also a kind of happiness." ”
When Catherine heard this, she smiled: "You come less." ”
The next second, she said, "I want to go take a shower." ”
Xu Yunqi has always been a gentle person, he said: "Go quickly, I feel cold when I hold your hand." ”
Catherine smiled softly, turned from him, and walked into the room.
……
After Huo Shaoting returned to the Tan Palace, he got out of the car, and at this time, the sister-in-law walked down and said to him: "Mr. Huo, Huo Yi has already slept." ”
Huo Shaoting replied to his sister-in-law, and said, "You should also go and rest." ”
The sister-in-law looked at his face, although it was still dark night, but the sister-in-law could see that his face was cold.
The sister-in-law thought about it and instantly remembered what day it was.
When the sister-in-law came back to her senses, Huo Shaoting had already walked towards the wine cabinet, he took a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet, poured a glass, and walked to the sofa and sat down.
When the sister-in-law saw him like this, she walked up to him and whispered, "Mr. Huo, it's too late, let's drink less." ”
Huo Shaoting didn't answer the sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law naturally couldn't interfere with the main family more, so after saying that, the sister-in-law stayed by the sofa for a while and left.
As soon as the sister-in-law left, Huo Shaoting sat there and took a big sip of wine from her glass.
It was a glass of spirit, but he didn't feel anything in his throat, and his eyes looked at the dark night outside.
The figure formed a dark shadow in the huge living room.
……
Early the next morning, Catherine received a phone call from the Li family, she didn't ask anything, she didn't listen to anything, and said directly: "I'll come back later." ”
She lay on the bed, and after saying that, she hung up the phone.
Not long after hanging up the phone, she got up from the bed, went to the bathroom, then changed her clothes, and rushed to Li's house.
After arriving at Li's house, she walked into the hall, and just a second after arriving in the hall, she smelled a smell of incense and paper money, which made her feel pungent.
Her footsteps paused, but only for a few seconds, and when she was about to continue walking forward, Huo Shaoting came down from the stairs.
The moment Catherine saw the others, her steps paused again.
Huo Shaoting naturally stopped and looked at her downstairs.
Catherine didn't expect him to be here, but after thinking about it carefully, yesterday was her sister's death day, and today he should be at the Li family.
Catherine resumed her movements and continued to walk.
After Huo Shaoting saw her, he didn't pause again, but walked towards the hall downstairs.
After the others stood in the hall, Huo Shaoting said, "I thought you wouldn't come over today." ”
Catherine said, "What about Huo Yi." ”
"He's not fit for an occasion."
When Catherine heard this, she knew that Huo Yi didn't come here.
She asked again, "What about my dad." ”
"Burn paper money in the back to worship, and your sister's room is offering incense."
Catherine could smell the incense on him, and knew that he must have come down from her sister's room.
When Catherine heard this, she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to the back." ”
As Catherine had said this, the man walked past him, through the hall, toward the backyard.
When she went to the backyard, she saw her father, Li Zhili, squatting in a corner with Mrs. Li burning paper money.
The whole backyard is smoky.
Catherine stood there.
And Li Zhili seemed to have a sense, and immediately turned around, and when he saw Catherine standing behind him, the whole person immediately rushed up: "Qiqi, "
His voice trembled and trembled, and as he got up, Mrs. Li also got up and immediately followed behind Li Zhili.
After the couple walked up to her, Li Zhili's hand grabbed Catherine's hand.
"Qiqi, you're finally back, did you know that yesterday was your sister's death day?"
Catherine looked at the two people in front of her with white hair, both of whom looked a little nervous, and she said, "I know." ”
Li Zhili breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Today is the day when your sister is worshipping your sister at home, and today is the day when your sister comes home to visit, let's have a meal together as a family." ”
Catherine didn't say anything more in the face of his somewhat neurotic words, only hummed.
In the next second, Li Zhili wept in front of her again, crying: "Qiqi, your sister, your sister has been gone for almost so many years. ”
Li Zhili was sad from his heart again, and once again couldn't restrain himself from crying.
