Chapter 193: Not Going Back

Qin Boyu was slightly stunned when he saw her like this.

He hadn’t seen her smile so happily and lightly in a long time.

But it wasn’t directed at him.

His gaze swept over the man beside her who was talking to her, Qin Boyu’s lips tightened further, subconsciously frowning.

He stared straight at Hu Xiujie, and Hu Xiujie noticed him, pausing.

She was a little surprised by his appearance.

“You go back first, we’ll talk about the changes in that version tomorrow.” Xiao Zigui glanced at him following her line of sight, raised an eyebrow, raised a meaningful arc at the corner of his lips, and patted her shoulder.

“Okay.” Hu Xiujie came to her senses, nodded with a smile.

The garment factory where Hu Xiujie started working was just a small workshop. Not long after she joined, it was acquired by Xiao Zigui and expanded several times over.

Because of Hu Yao, Xiao Zigui, the boss, took extra care of her.

When she was in Kyoto, Hu Xiujie actually worked in a garment factory too, and her master taught her a lot, saying she had the talent.

But she didn’t work for long, Qin Boyu asked her to quit and stay at home. At that time, Qin Siyuan’s asthma was also recurring, she couldn’t bear to leave him, so she quit her job.

Her little salary was really nothing to the Qin family, and they didn’t want her, the wife of the Qin family, to go out and do these small jobs.

Being able to work in a factory these days was something many people dreamed of, but in a family like the Qin family with some background, it was still looked down upon.

Or rather, they looked down on whatever she did.

“Who is he?”

Hu Xiujie walked closer, Qin Boyu asked in a deep voice.

“Do you have something to say?” Hu Xiujie didn’t answer his question, but asked something else in a light voice.

Her distant and cold attitude was worlds apart from when she was talking to another man just now, Qin Boyu unconsciously clenched his fist, a wave of annoyance rising in his heart.

“My dad’s birthday is the day after tomorrow, I’ll take Siyuan back, you…” Qin Boyu suppressed the anger in his heart, just about to ask her if she had thought it over, if she would go back with him.

“He’s out of school, you can take him back when he comes back later.” Hu Xiujie didn’t wait for him to finish, nodded, and didn’t say much.

She walked ahead, not waiting for him, her skirt billowing in the wind, swaying freely, her half-exposed calves were slender and white, the long ribbon behind her head was flying, like a butterfly spreading its wings. Her figure was good, with a graceful curve, but she rarely dressed herself like this in the past few years.

Qin Boyu’s gaze fell on her figure, paused for a moment, his heart entangled with complex and changing emotions.

“Your dad came to pick you up.”

Qin Siyuan came home from school, Hu Xiujie told him, her tone without any ups and downs.

He was thinking about going back to the Qin family, now he could get his wish, Hu Xiujie looked at him, her eyes moved slightly.

“Dad.” Qin Siyuan saw Qin Boyu, was surprised at first, then thought of something, his voice lowered, asked uncertainly and hopefully: “Dad is taking me home?”

Qin Boyu hummed, his peripheral vision looking at Hu Xiujie beside him.

She didn’t react, didn’t think about packing anything for Qin Siyuan, or say anything.

Thinking back to the scene of her laughing and talking with another man, Qin Boyu’s breath sank a lot.

“I booked three tickets, you pack up and go with me.” He looked at her in a deep voice.

Qin Siyuan couldn’t help but look at her, clenching his small hand.

“We’re already divorced.” Hu Xiujie looked at him calmly.

He still believed that she wouldn’t be able to do well without him, that she would eventually depend on him.

When they first got divorced, she did have some confusion, anxiety, and panic. For these years, she had been revolving around the Qin family, her focus had always been on him and Qin Siyuan, and she had been belittling and suppressing herself, losing her vitality.

Did Qin Boyu still love her? Until now, she could still feel his love, but it was no longer as pure as it was before.

He loved her, but he wouldn’t understand her, wouldn’t think for her. He felt that his love for her was a special exception for her, but it was actually more like charity, a shackle.

She knew he loved her, so she tolerated and retreated again and again. She endured in the Qin family for so many years, all supported by his love.

No more, no longer care, it’s actually just like that.

Meeting her calm and indifferent eyes, Qin Boyu’s heart trembled, his voice tightened: “Go back, we’ll move out of the old house, just pretend all those things never happened.”

“I’m not going back.” Hu Xiujie suddenly wanted to laugh, after so long, until now he said he wanted to move out of the old house, she was no longer moved.

It turned out he knew how unhappy she was in the old house.

Those were his parents who raised him, when he married her against their will, he felt it was unfilial, and he also tacitly agreed that she should be submissive and obedient in front of them.

Even if she lowered her posture and flattered them, they still looked down on her, and they never stopped trying to alienate her from Qin Boyu over the years.

They succeeded, and they got their wish, Hu Xiujie really felt tired.

It was a fatigue that went deep into her bones.

“Qin Boyu, the child, it’s really not Liao Qing’s fault, I took the medicine.” She said calmly.

“You, say, what!”

Qin Boyu’s pupils suddenly contracted, staring at her fiercely.

He grabbed her shoulder fiercely, his eyes became gloomy and sinister, his eyes contained a fierce storm on the verge of breaking out, he stared at her sharply, his whole body exuded a strong murderous aura.

“I deliberately didn’t want it.” Hu Xiujie repeated softly.

Her words fell, the redness in Qin Boyu’s eyes spread, words squeezed out from between his tightly clenched teeth: “Deliberately don’t want it? Hu Xiujie, you’re crazy! How dare you not want it!”

To force him to divorce her, the child was actually deliberately aborted by her, she was so ruthless!

A wave of pain came from her shoulder.

She stared into his angry and gloomy eyes, Hu Xiujie remained silent for a long time.

“I won’t have another child with the Qin family.”

She didn’t want to raise another Qin Siyuan.

She was ruthless, the two-month-old child was indeed killed by her own hands. She didn’t want to give herself another chance to soften and compromise.

…

Qin Boyu took Qin Siyuan away, carrying a surge of intense anger and gloom. The door slammed shut with a loud bang.

Qin Siyuan pursed his lips, hesitatingly turning back to look at Hu Xiujie’s fading and thin figure.

He longed to return to the Qin family, but at this moment, he didn’t seem very happy.

“Dad, isn’t Mom coming home with us?” he looked at Qin Boyu’s gloomy and cold face and asked cautiously.

Qin Boyu remained silent, his anger raging violently in his heart. He was afraid that if he didn’t leave, he would really strangle Hu Xiujie.

How dare she! How dare she hide from him and abort their child, their first child after all these years!

He had believed it was an accident, when she was emotionally unstable and making wild guesses, he agreed to divorce her. She deliberately lied to him!
