Chapter 62 Father Jiang Comes to the Door

He was standing on the street outside the bar, about to take a taxi to find Jiang Ruan to settle the score, when he suddenly realized that he didn't even know where she lived.

The thought had barely crossed her mind when a text message appeared on her phone: "[Jiang Ruan lives in apartment 1802, Building 1, Fengyue Huating, and previously worked at Yi Games.]"

Jiang Chenren frowned slightly.

He replied: "Who are you?"

He didn't get a reply.

Regardless of whether the news was true or false, he took out the little cash in his wallet, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for the neighborhood where Jiang Ruan lived. His anger grew faster and faster as time went by.

The events of that day are still vivid in my mind.

If it weren't for that brat Jiang Ruan, he wouldn't have been targeted by Huo Zhizhou.

The moment he got into the car, the bar manager reported the matter to Gu Shixi, who then informed Huo Zhizhou, adding, "Jiang Chenren has left the bar; he's probably going to find Jiang Ruan."

"Did you tell him Jiang Ruan's address?" Huo Zhizhou asked.

Gu Shixi: "No, didn't you tell me not to say it?"

Huo Zhizhou felt a little relieved: "Mm."

Gu Shixi kindly reminded him, "Why don't you send someone to keep an eye on him secretly? What if he causes trouble for Jiang Ruan or something?"

Although the lesson from last time taught Jiang Chenren that even if Jiang Ruan and Huo Er were divorced, he couldn't just mess with her, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't go crazy after washing cups for a week.

Huo Zhizhou said "no need" and hung up the phone, clearly not wanting to discuss the matter further.

Seeing that he didn't care, Gu Shixi didn't pay too much attention to it.

It was past 8 p.m.

Jiang Chenren arrived at Jiangruan Residential Area and followed the person in front of him through the gate. Jiangruan was listening to Suisui tell interesting stories about school when she suddenly heard the doorbell ring. She got up to open the door, but stopped when she saw the person outside.

Almost instantly.

She slammed the door shut as a reflex.

"You're so unhappy to see me?" Jiang Chenren reached out and blocked the door, ignoring her obstruction and forcing his way in. "Is a shabby place really worth hiding like this?"

Unable to stop him, Jiang Ruan could only ask, "What are you doing here?"

"I've come to see my daughter," Jiang Chenren said matter-of-factly, glancing around as he went in. "Is there a problem?"

Jiang Ruan followed behind him.

Hearing the commotion, Sui Sui came out. Upon seeing Jiang Chenren, she instinctively looked at her mother, her round eyes filled with confusion: "Mommy, who is this...?"

“He’s your maternal grandfather.” Jiang Ruan didn’t plan to let the child have much contact with him. “You go inside and play first, I’ll talk to him about something.”

Sui Sui sensed from the atmosphere that his mother and grandfather didn't get along, but he didn't ask any questions. Out of politeness, he called out, "Grandpa."

Jiang Chenren didn't expect him to call out.

After all, in some ways, he wasn't his maternal grandfather.

Sui Sui didn't linger outside any longer. After calling for everyone, she listened to Jiang Ruan and went back to her room.

"Huo Zhizhou is really heartless." Jiang Chenren sat down on the sofa, and after seeing Sui Sui close the door, he looked up at Jiang Ruan, "He actually lets his child suffer outside with you."

Jiang Ruan was too lazy to say anything more to him: "What are you doing here?"

"Or is this child not actually his?" Jiang Chenren asked instead of answering, genuinely curious.

Jiang Ruan ignored his strange words.

After the company went bankrupt, he became very different from the gentle father he used to be.

"My purpose in coming here today is very simple: call Huo Zhizhou and have him cancel the two million yuan I owed that day," Jiang Chenren said bluntly after beating around the bush for a while.

Jiang Ruan wasn't surprised at all by his debts: "I'm already divorced from him."

“I’m not discussing this with you. If you don’t call him, I don’t mind making a scene at your company.” There was a hint of ruthlessness in Jiang Chenren’s eyes. “You work at Yuanyi Games, don’t you?”

Jiang Ruan's pupils contracted.

How could he know?

"These two million-plus yuan were a trap set for me by Huo Zhizhou, not money I spent myself." Jiang Chenren was seething with anger. The thought that he would have to wash cups in two days if this matter wasn't resolved made his anger rise. "This matter started because of you, so it's your responsibility to resolve it."

Jiang Ruan was about to retort that this had nothing to do with her.

The words Huo Zhizhou had spoken to her when she went to the waterside villa to apologize to Su Anran that day came to mind.

"Do you know how much trouble I've helped you out these past few days? Do you think Jiang Chenren and those people in the private room haven't come looking for you again?"

so.

Did Huo Zhizhou keep Jiang Chenren there by making him incur debt?

“You probably don’t want me to stay here all day without going out,” Jiang Chenren threatened, “or go and cause trouble at your company.”

Jiang Ruanxin tightened her heart.

If he stays at her place or causes trouble at the company, there's nothing she can do about it.

The police can't interfere in this kind of thing.

“I’m going in to talk to the kids for a bit.” Jiang Chenren stood up from the sofa, his actions and words full of threat. “You can think about it slowly. If you really don’t want to call, I won’t force you. But I’ll just temporarily requisition your house.”

"Wait." Jiang Ruan strode over and stopped him.

Jiang Chenren: "Have you thought it through?"

“I’ll call Huo Zhizhou.” Jiang Ruan didn’t want him to go in and disturb Sui Sui, “but I can’t guarantee he’ll agree.”

"What I want is for that bar's contract to be voided, not just some meaningless chatter." Jiang Chenren's face was fierce, and his whole body was filled with impatience.

Jiang Ruan didn't respond to him and instead called Huo Zhizhou directly.

What goes around comes around.

After more than twenty years of comfortable life, it's normal to have a period of bad luck.

The phone rang, and after a few seconds Huo Zhizhou answered: "What's up?"

"Did my dad owe you over two million yuan at Gu Shixi's bar?" Jiang Ruan asked without any greetings, getting straight to the point.

Huo Zhizhou frowned slightly, and thinking about Gu Shixi's phone call, he asked, "Is he with you?"

Jiang Ruan: "Yes."

Huo Zhizhou's eyes were very dark.

How did Jiang Chenren find Jiang Ruan?

“He said this was all because of me.” Jiang Ruan spoke directly without beating around the bush. “If that’s the case, could you please not hold this against him and void his contract at the bar?”

"You were the cause, but not the point," Huo Zhizhou denied.

Jiang Ruan simply replied, "I understand."

He hung up after saying that.

There was absolutely no sign of it.

The moment the phone hung up, Huo Zhizhou's handsome brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Su Anran, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV with him, noticed his change in mood and subconsciously moved closer to him: "What happened?"

"Jiang Chenren went to find Jiang Ruan," Huo Zhizhou said.

Su Anran looked bewildered: "Huh?"

Huo Zhizhou tapped his phone a few times, sending messages to the bodyguards who had been secretly protecting Jiang Ruan and Sui Sui near Fengyue Huating, instructing them to find a reason to go to Jiang Ruan's house, but not to let her recognize that he had sent them.

“Ever since Ruan Ruan’s family went bankrupt, her relationship with Uncle Jiang hasn’t been good.” Su Anran saw him hesitate after finishing his work, and asked, “Did she say what Uncle Jiang wanted to talk to her about?”

"Didn't you know?" Huo Zhizhou put down his phone and glanced at her.
