Chapter 39: Old Friends Reunited, Huo Zhizhou Feels Jealous

Huo Zhizhou glanced sideways.

Gu Shixi: "!!!"

Why did you have to say what was on your mind?

"What I mean is that the things you give are all very special. Someone like me, who did nothing and couldn't help at all, doesn't deserve to receive them." He quickly changed his words, afraid that if he spoke too slowly, he would be killed by him.

Huo Zhizhou said calmly, "How could that be? Just the fact that he is President Gu is enough to warrant ten of them."

Gu Shixi tried to argue, but after meeting his calm, dark eyes, she immediately gave up: "I was wrong."

Assistant Jiang coughed lightly.

"What are you laughing at?" Gu Shixi changed the subject, "Believe it or not, I'll have your boss send you a hundred copies."

"Our boss has always been discerning and won't let external factors influence his decisions," Assistant Jiang said seriously. "Does President Gu think our boss is someone who would listen to slander?"

"Sycophant." Gu Shixi ground his back teeth.

Huo Zhizhou glanced at him out of the corner of his eye: "Don't bully my people."

Gu Shixi: "..."

If it weren't for the sake of gossip...

He didn't want to sit in that lousy car for even a quarter of an hour!

Assistant Jiang drove a little further before asking, "Boss, Miss Jiang's car is heading towards where the young master practices martial arts. Are you and President Gu going home or going to see the young master?"

“Of course we’re going to see our precious Sui Sui,” Gu Shixi said for him. “We haven’t played with him at all since we got back.”

Jiang's assistant glanced at his boss in the rearview mirror, and after confirming that he looked normal, drove along the route that Gu Shixi had indicated.

Jiang Ruan was still in the car and hadn't arrived yet.

Sitting in the back seat, she looked out the window, her mind momentarily hazy, and for a brief moment she had the illusion of going to school, going on vacation, or going home.

After two buzzing sounds, Su Zhu sent a message: 【There's something I didn't tell you yesterday.】

Jiang Ruan: [What?]

Su Zhu's voice message: "That stingy, narcissistic, and arrogant bastard is back."

Jiang Ruan was stunned for a moment.

Ye Yanzhi?

Just as she was thinking this, the car arrived at the martial arts school where Sui Sui was learning martial arts. She paid the fare and got out of the car, her fingertips tapping on the keyboard to finish the conversation she hadn't finished with Su Zhu.

Before she could finish typing, a whirlwind-like figure rushed towards her, and before she could even see who it was, she was forced into a warm, firm embrace with a faint fragrance.

"Little Jiang Jiang!"

The man spoke in a cheerful and hearty tone.

Jiang Ruan quickly pulled the person out of her arms. The first thing she saw was a handsome face with a sunny disposition, smiling eyes, and flawless good looks, as well as short, messy hair that looked just like it did a few years ago.

"Yan Zhi?" Jiang Ruan was a little surprised.

Su Zhu was still talking when the person was already standing in front of her.

Ye Yanzhi took off his sunglasses, and a smile curved his handsome lips: "How about it? Surprised? Unexpected? I thought about this reunion for a long time."

"A surprise, an unexpected one." Jiang Ruan spoke from the heart, her terrible mood from noon easing at that moment.

Ye Yanzhi hung his sunglasses on his shirt collar: "I didn't see any surprise or astonishment in your expression. It seems I'll have to come up with a more cool and stylish entrance next time, one that you'll remember for a lifetime."

"You haven't changed at all over the years." Jiang Ruan was genuinely happy to see her childhood friend.

She, Su Zhu, and Ye Yanzhi grew up together. However, at her mother's request, she stayed in Jingzhou for university, while Su Zhu and Ye Yanzhi went abroad. Not long after graduating from university, she got married, and Ye Yanzhi went abroad the following year.

To date.

They had not seen each other for four years.

However, they often chatted in a small group of three, so their relationship didn't become distant.

"Even if the world changes, I, this young master, will not change," Ye Yanzhi said firmly.

Jiang Ruan smiled.

Ye Yanzhi glanced at the training ground under the Huo family's banner and asked directly, "You came here to pick up Sui Sui?"

"I'm here to see him, but he should have already finished lunch and is taking a nap by now. I'll pick him up again after six." Jiang Ruan glanced at the time, then her gaze fell on the suitcase not far from him. "You probably haven't eaten yet."

"I was planning a surprise for you as soon as I got off the plane, where would I have time to eat?" Ye Yanzhi said to her without any politeness.

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "It's my treat."

Coming here was a spur-of-the-moment decision. After what happened with Jiang Chenren, I thought I'd come see Sui Sui to ease my mood. Whenever I encounter something unpleasant, seeing him always makes me feel much better.

But now that my friend has returned from afar, everything that happened at noon has faded away.

"Don't even think about it." Ye Yanzhi walked over and picked up his suitcase, his tone as always, "If that big devil Su finds out I asked you to invite me, she'll come back and chop me to pieces!"

A wave of genuine and familiar emotions washed over Jiang Ruan, and the suppressed feelings she had been experiencing for the past few days seemed to suddenly dissipate, revealing a clear blue sky.

"Come on, I'll treat you to dinner." Ye Yanzhi led her to his car.

In order to plan his reunion with her, he had someone drive him to the airport while searching for Jiang Ruan's location. Fortunately, his efforts paid off and he found her!

What the two were unaware of was...

Their every move was clearly seen by the people in a black Maybach not far away.

The low pressure inside the car was almost tangible. Gu Shixi glanced at the person next to him with a face as cold as iron, and didn't dare to breathe. His resentment towards Assistant Jiang reached its peak!

There's no ghost chasing us, so why was he driving so fast?

Assistant Jiang resented himself even more than he did.

It's not like we'll never see each other again, so why did he step on the gas so fast?

"Ahem." Gu Shixi couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere any longer. "I suddenly remembered that I have some things to take care of at the company, so I'll head back first."

As he spoke, he quietly opened the door with his right hand.

result!

It won't open!

He ground his back teeth and stared at his special assistant, who was sitting in the driver's seat and usually had a poker face: "Assistant Jiang, open the door."

Jiang's assistant turned a deaf ear.

He's not stupid. If he really opens the door, he'll be the only one to bear the BOSS's wrath. Given the current situation and the tense atmosphere, he's 100% certain he won't be able to handle it.

"Follow the car in front." Huo Zhizhou's gaze was fixed on Ye Yanzhi's extremely flashy supercar, which was useless except for showing off, and he spoke coldly.

Jiang, Special Assistant: "Yes."

Gu Shixi didn't want to face the storm later, so he tentatively glanced to the side and asked, "Before you catch up, why don't you put me down first? I can go back by myself."

"In a hurry?" Huo Zhizhou's tone was unreadable.

Gu Shixi couldn't guess: "A little."

Huo Zhizhou: "Then you should hurry up."

Gu Shixi: "..."

Assistant Jiang: "..."

Assistant Jiang consciously kept quiet and drove diligently.

Gu Shixi noticed that the air pressure inside the car was getting lower and lower. Being in the eye of the storm, he made a decision: he must get rid of this bad habit of being a gossip and eating melons!
