Chapter 67 Huo Zhizhou was accompanying Su Anran.

Huo Zhizhou paused: "Who?"

“Su Zhu’s father.” Su Anran looked at him as she said this, afraid of seeing disdain and dissatisfaction on his face. “Su Bingcheng.”

Huo Zhizhou looked up and his gaze fell on her.

Su Anran twirled her fingers: "My mom told me."

Huo Zhizhou was initially surprised, but quickly regained his composure and rationally asked her, "Does he know you exist?"

"I don't know." Su Anran thought about what he had said before and decided to tell him everything. "When he found out that my mother was pregnant, he gave her a sum of money to have an abortion. My mother felt that it was a precious life, so she kept it from him and didn't have an abortion."

In fact, it's not that I felt like I hadn't been able to save my life.

She simply saw that Su Bingcheng was very generous, charging a million for an abortion, and thought that this person must be extraordinary, so she wanted to keep the child as a hope, so that she could become rich through her daughter in the future.

But later, through some events, I learned that Su Bingcheng had zero tolerance for this. If he found out that someone had secretly conceived a child, the consequences would be dire.

But by then Su Anran had already given birth, and there was no way out.

To avoid getting into trouble, I kept quiet about it.

"You want to acknowledge him as your father?" Huo Zhizhou guessed from her expression.

"Is that okay?" Su Anran asked.

Huo Zhizhou: "I'll have Assistant Jiang do an expedited paternity test for you later. I'll take you to see him after the results are in."

"Won't Ruanruan be unhappy?" Su Anran hesitated, "After all, Su Zhu is her good friend. What if I suddenly show up at the Su family..."

"Don't worry about it." Huo Zhizhou's expression was indifferent.

Jiang Ruan had no idea that her best friend was about to face the biggest low point in her life. After leaving the Lu family, she went to the hospital and stayed with Jiang An for half a day before going home.

When she got home, she saw Su Zhu sitting on a chair on the balcony, looking upset.

She put her bag down and went over to her, asking with concern, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Su Zhu looked out the window, her tone calmer than ever before. "My dad just called and told me that I might have a younger sister."

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Jiang Ruan: "Didn't you say your parents haven't seen each other for almost two years...?"

At this point, Jiang Ruan suddenly realized something and asked hesitantly, "You mean, this little sister wasn't born to your mother?"

Su Zhu replied absentmindedly, "Hmm."

"Didn't they agree not to have an illegitimate child?" Jiang Ruan knew about her parents' situation. The two married but didn't like each other, and after Su Zhu was born, they suggested that they each go their own way.

"What's the point of an agreement?" Su Zhu felt a pang of resentment.

Jiang Ruan hugged her.

Su Zhu pulled her away, her eyes particularly serious: "He also said something to me."

Jiang Ruan was also annoyed for her: "What?"

"He said we both know this person, and we're not that far apart in age." Su Zhu still hasn't been able to think of such a person.

Jiang Ruan sat next to her, lost in thought.

Do they know each other?

Su Zhu sighed and started thinking again, going through all the suspicious people she knew, but she couldn't think of a single one.

"Has he already met with them?" Jiang Ruan had a vague guess in her mind.

"No, the mistress messaged him saying she has a child." Su Zhu knew this from what her father had told her, but she knew there were some things he hadn't told her. "She said the child would come to him to acknowledge the child in a couple of days."

Jiang Ruan's red lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Su Zhu said casually, "Say whatever you want to say."

“This person…” Jiang Ruan felt a sense of unease as she thought about her guess. “Could it be Su Anran?”

Su Zhu: "?"

Su Zhu jumped three zhang high in the air: "Who are you talking about?!"

“I never heard Su Anran mention her father throughout her university years,” Jiang Ruan said truthfully. “Uncle wouldn’t have emphasized that they both knew each other if they weren’t related by blood. She never filled in the ‘father’ section either.”

Given Su Anran's personality, if she could say at school that her mother was mean and cruel to her, there's no reason she wouldn't mention her father at all.

Unless she doesn't know, or dares not say.

"No way." Su Zhu ground her teeth. "If it really is her, I could throw her up and beat her to a pulp!"

Jiang Ruan also hoped it wasn't.

There are just too many coincidences.

Most importantly, Su Anran's surname is Su.

"No, I have to go home." Su Zhu was uneasy until she got an answer. "I'll come back to you after I've confirmed this. If it really is Su Anran, I'll take her down for you!"

Jiang Ruan was a little worried about her: "Do you want me to go with you?"

"No need, you'll only drive me crazy," Su Zhu said very seriously.

Jiang Ruan hugged her.

If Su Anran is indeed her uncle's child, then the Su family may never have peace in the future.

Su Anran couldn't stir up any trouble, and they lived their lives peacefully as in previous years. But now Su Anran had Huo Zhizhou backing her up, and her mother suddenly told her uncle about this, which most likely meant that she knew that Huo Zhizhou was the person behind Su Anran.

Thinking this way.

A sudden feeling of oppression washed over me.

The matter was resolved the following afternoon. Jiang Ruan had just finished a sketch when she received a message from Su Zhu: 【Damn it!!! It really is that bastard Su Anran!】

As if the message wasn't enough to express her feelings, she called before Jiang Ruan could reply.

Before Jiang Ruan could speak, Su Zhu's furious voice came through the phone: "I'm so angry! She actually wants to be registered in our family's household register!"

"What did your father say?" Jiang Ruanxin's heart sank even further.

Su Zhu glanced at her father, who was still talking with Huo Zhizhou downstairs, and felt increasingly annoyed: "Still talking."

Jiang Ruan was a little worried about her: "I'm coming over now."

When you're in a bad mood, you need friends to be there for you.

This is something Su Zhu once told her.

"No!" Su Zhu refused without hesitation. If she knew that Huo Zhizhou had come with Su Anran, wouldn't that just upset her? "I'm not in any serious trouble right now, it's mainly my dad."

Jiang Ruan was puzzled at first, and then thought about it briefly.

Although she didn't know much about Su Zhu's father's personality, she had learned some things about him through Su Zhu. He wouldn't waste time talking about her just because she had an illegitimate daughter, Su Anran, let alone mention the household registration book.

unless……

"Was it Huo Zhizhou who accompanied Su Anran?" Jiang Ruan asked, offering her guess.

Su Zhu glanced down and asked, "How did you know?"

Upon hearing this...

Jiang Ruan's heart sank little by little.

Su Anran has never been one to stay put. Since she chose to acknowledge her father, she probably wants to hold onto some shares or assets in addition to getting to know him.

Su Zhu's father couldn't possibly give her that on her own, but with Huo Zhizhou around, it was hard to guarantee he wouldn't use his power to oppress her.

“He might make some unreasonable demands on your father.” Jiang Ruan didn’t want Su Zhu’s interests to be affected by Su Anran.

"Whatever, bring it up or not, I don't care." After learning the result, Su Zhu became indifferent. "I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going downstairs to have a good talk with my half-sister!"

The next few words.

She bit down very hard.
