Chapter 238 She and I are not divorced yet.
Carlos raised an eyebrow and immediately went on alert.
He also stepped forward to meet them.
Jiang Qin and Tian Tian were surrounded by other bodyguards, and the mother and daughter were still telling stories about lambs and rabbits.
Jiang Qin noticed Carlos leaving just now, but assumed it was for some official business.
I didn't think much of it.
After all, over the past three years, as time went on, she also learned Carlos's true identity. It turned out that Carlos's father was also a well-known figure in that group.
To put it simply, Carlos is the heir to a "pretty good branch office".
Therefore, Carlos currently has other work to attend to.
The reason why he was still willing to work for her was entirely because Carlos yearned for freedom three years ago, and his father also hoped that he would stay away from the mercenary industry and allowed him not to take on related matters.
That's why he was somewhat willful at the time and chose to be her bodyguard and also her driver.
However, people always grow up. Three years later, Carlos was clearly much more mature and composed than the Carlos who always called her "sister" three years ago.
In addition, to truly withdraw completely from the mercenary business and leave oneself with nothing to lose, one must be willing to do so.
It's really not that easy.
On the contrary, Carlos's previous attempts to find other jobs were dangerous; if his enemies discovered him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Therefore, starting this year, Carlos still chose to take over some of the affairs.
But Jiang Qin was clearly right at this moment.
In the quiet room, the crisp yet somewhat heavy sound of a metal shelf hitting the ground startled Tian Tian, who was telling a story, and Jiang Qin, who was holding her daughter.
The shelf wobbled on the floor after it fell.
The clanging sound had a lingering echo, long and jarring.
In the past, Jiang Qin would have instinctively covered her ears.
Childhood trauma, coupled with hypersensitive hearing, causes Jiang Qin to instinctively cover her ears when something falls, especially when she knows that the falling object will likely make a sharp sound upon hitting the ground.
But at that moment, almost instinctively, Jiang Qin covered Tian Tian's ears first.
More than being afraid herself, Jiang Qin was afraid that the noise would frighten her daughter.
The blanket was applied in time; just as Tian Tian was about to react, the annoying sound disappeared.
However, I still heard some of it, and I can't help but feel a little worried.
Looking to the other side, she was too short, a tiny baby. Even though she was being held in her mother's arms, from this angle, with several bodyguards blocking the view, she couldn't see anything.
Once the sound subsided and the room returned to silence, Jiang Qin released her hands from covering her daughter's ears.
"Mommy, what happened? What fell on the floor?"
Jiang Qin looked from among the bodyguards standing together towards the shelves where items were being sold.
Unfortunately, from her perspective at that moment, she couldn't see anyone.
So Jiang Qin put Tian Tian back on the seat for the time being, quickly got up and looked over the area, but still didn't see anything.
However, noticing that some staff members were walking in that direction, I guessed that something must have been misplaced and tipped over.
He sat down and hugged Tian Tian back into his arms, then said to her.
"It must have fallen on the ground because something wasn't put away properly. It's okay, a staff member will take care of it."
Aside from the question of whether her father was a weirdo, Sweetie always believed her mother's words without question.
"Oh, that's good." Hearing this, she didn't think much of it and responded like this, acting a bit like a little adult.
Jiang Qin smiled gently.
However, she didn't know that at that very moment, the middle section of the shelf she had just been looking at was...
The two men were staring at each other with cold eyes, both filled with intense hostility.
One of them was Carlos, whom she had just assumed had gone out on official business.
The other person was Huo Sili, whom she had met before at the Huo family business and thought she had gotten rid of him after leaving the Huo family.
Near their feet lay the metal tabletop shelf that had made a screeching sound when they fell.
"What do you mean? Why have you been following us? What do you want?"
When the staff came over to find out what had happened.
Unfortunately, as soon as I arrived, I saw two tall men who were at least 1.85 meters tall.
They were both handsome, one Chinese-style and the other Western-style.
The staff members who came were also men, but they were genuinely amazed by what they saw.
However, they soon noticed that the two were staring coldly at each other, and their auras were clearly off.
Immediately, they dared not approach.
He was not as tall as the two men, nor as strong.
It wouldn't be good if I got dragged into this and became a scapegoat.
The staff member was pragmatic; realizing the situation, he figured that even if customers came, they wouldn't dare approach, so he simply stopped picking up the items and ran away as if he'd never been there.
As for the person who had suddenly appeared at one end of the shelf, neither Horstley nor Carlos paid any attention to him.
From the moment Carlos spoke until now, Horstley had been staring at him coldly.
That look in his eyes was chilling.
However, Carlos's status meant he wasn't easily intimidated.
When Horst stared at him, he stared back.
Then he sneered, "What? Not going to answer? Fine, then I'll tell you—"
"I don't care who you are, what you need to understand is that you and she are already divorced, and you are a thing of the past."
"She's living a very happy life now. You'd better not disturb her, or the consequences will be dire!"
Carlos wasn't just making empty threats.
Because he knew Song Xinye had that ability.
However, Carlos's words had no effect on Horstley.
Because there are always higher heavens and more capable people.
Horst's voice was calm, but the moment he opened his mouth, it immediately shattered Carlos's cold words.
And this completely stunned Carlos.
"Really? Who told you that I divorced her? Did she say so?"
"I'm so sorry."
Huo Sili took out his phone, and soon the screen lit up in front of Carlos.
"Can you read Chinese characters? Marital status: married, not widowed, not divorced."
But after a moment of confusion, Carlos realized what was happening and frowned. He didn't think Jiang Qin would lie. "Impossible."
He gave Huo Sili a disdainful look. "Is your ID expired? Are you trying to fool me?"
Horst's expression remained cold, and he spoke slowly and deliberately—
"Believe it or not, in short, she and I are not divorced yet."
"Also, tell your boss to stay away from her."
Tell their leader to stay away from her?
Carlos realized what was happening and found it even funnier.
He recalled an internet slang term and retorted without hesitation or sarcasm.
"Sorry, ex-husband, I'm afraid I can't do that!"
After saying that, Carlos left.
Behind him, Huo Sili's face turned as black as charcoal.
