Chapter 78 I can void that divorce agreement

Due to Huo Zhizhou's imposing presence, everyone left the conference room without lingering.

A short while later.

Only the three of them remained in the conference room.

Jiang Ruan remained in the same position as when she was about to leave. Her gaze towards him held neither the lingering affection of the past nor the anger of the present, only endless indifference, as if she and he were merely strangers with no connection.

Huo Zhizhou understood that look, and a dull ache shot through his chest.

"Should I leave?" Su Anran asked very sensibly.

Huo Zhizhou: "No need."

Su Anran took two steps back to minimize her presence and give them space: "Then you two can talk slowly."

“You’ll be staying at the villa on Monday and Tuesday. I’ll have the housekeeper pick up the child.” Huo Zhizhou’s gaze met Jiang Ruan’s, and his words sounded more like a decision. “You can pick him up after get off work on Thursday.”

Jiang Ruan refused without even thinking: "No need, I'll go back when I have time."

"I'm not discussing this with you," Huo Zhizhou said, his eyes filled with pressure.

Jiang Ruan was about to speak.

Huo Zhizhou then said, with a hint of coldness: "If you don't listen to my advice, I can void that divorce agreement and prevent you from getting custody of the children."

Jiang Ruan suddenly looked up, seemingly surprised that he would go back on his word.

"Just listen to Zhizhou," Su Anran interjected, "Once Suisui is taken back to Ruanyuan, you can play there without worry. Don't worry about the child's safety or diet."

It would have been better if we hadn't talked about it, because talking about it makes Jiang Ruan even angrier.

She looked at Huo Zhizhou and said, "You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

"By what capacity do you ask this question?" Huo Zhizhou's dark eyes were unfathomable, and his voice was unhurried. "An employee? A passerby? Or the former Mrs. Huo?"

Jiang Ruan's hand holding the notebook suddenly tightened.

Huo Zhizhou said coldly, "You can leave now. The housekeeper will pick up the child early Monday morning."

Knowing that he would reject anything she said, Jiang Ruan simply left the meeting room without saying a word, taking her notebook and pen with her.

Thinking about it carefully, it's only a few days.

The housekeeper has always treated the child very well, so he won't be mistreated even over there.

It's just the child's grandparents...

"The child will only interact with people from Ruanyuan." As if reluctant to see her leave, Huo Zhizhou added as she stepped through the door, "They won't see him."

Jiang Ruan paused for a moment, then quickened her pace and left.

When she returned to her seat, she had composed herself. Liang Qi immediately leaned over to gossip, "Why did President Huo keep you here?"

"Let's talk about work progress." Jiang Ruan had already prepared an excuse for being asked when she was left behind. "I'll say that the work progress assessment we discussed when I joined the company is over, and I'll just follow Sister Bai Jian's arrangements from now on."

"I see." Liang Qi was a little disappointed that she hadn't gotten to enjoy the gossip.

Jiang Ruan opened her work software and continued drawing.

Every day is a continuous process of drawing, revising, and scrapping.

That afternoon, after get off work, she was about to pick up Sui Sui when Su Zhu came to pick her up with Sui Sui. She parked her car across from the company and waved vigorously when she saw her come out: "Ruan Ruan! Over here."

Sui Sui also looked at her through the window.

Jiang Ruan looked around when the green light came on, and after confirming that there were no cars, she came up to them.

She opened the passenger door and got in, greeting her darling in the back seat before asking Su Zhu, "Why are you here?"

"Of course I'll take you and Sui Sui out for a nice meal." Su Zhu said as she started the car and drove away. "Don't worry, I checked out this restaurant; it's neither under the Gu Group nor the Huo Group."

She had heard about everything that happened when Ye Yanzhi returned.

That's so mean.

Jiang Ruan wanted to say no, but seeing how enthusiastic she was, she didn't want to spoil the mood.

The car arrived at the restaurant quickly. Ye Yanzhi was waiting by the window. Before he could greet them, his expression darkened when he saw the other two people come in as well.

"What's with that expression?" Su Zhu sat down and immediately started teasing him.

Ye Yanzhi gestured with his chin toward the people behind them.

Jiang Ruan and Su Zhu turned around at the same time.

"Sister? Ruan Ruan." Su Anran walked over with Huo Zhizhou, greeting him without any awkwardness. "What a coincidence, you're eating here too?"

"Damn it." Su Zhu blurted out a curse.

Ye Yanzhi grasped the key point: "Sister?"

Jiang Ruan glanced at him.

This guy doesn't even know that Su Anran is an illegitimate daughter of the Su family.

"Let's go, let's eat somewhere else." Su Zhu lost her appetite when she saw the two of them, and took Sui Sui's little hand to walk out. "The restaurant is really something, serving all sorts of people. Aren't they afraid of being called a garbage dump?"

Ye Yanzhi: "..."

He secretly gave her a thumbs up.

Huo Zhizhou slightly raised his eyes, and the chill emanating from him grew even lower.

"Daddy," Sui Sui said promptly, her childish voice adorable.

Huo Zhizhou withdrew his gaze, knelt down in front of him, and reached out to rub his little head. He had thought the little guy really ignored him after the last time: "Hmm?"

"Could you eat somewhere else with this auntie?" Sui Sui glanced at Su Anran with her round eyes and said seriously, "I don't want to see her, and I don't want to see you two together."

Huo Zhizhou paused.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Su Anran's eyes.

"I want to have a nice meal with Mommy and Aunt Su," Sui Sui said, her little mouth slightly open, with a hint of inquiry. "Is that okay?"

"Okay." Huo Zhizhou didn't insist.

Su Zhu: "?"

Ye Yanzhi: "?"

Both of them were surprised.

Huo Zhizhou ignored their stares, rubbed Sui Sui's little head again, and then stood up and said to Su Anran, "Let's go to another one."

Su Anran's smile was stiff: "Okay."

Only now did she realize that, apart from Jiang Ruan, she was not even as important as a child in his heart. Now, she was making him compromise because of a child's words, but wouldn't he abandon her in the future because of a child's words?

Thinking about this...

Su Anran was in a worse mood than ever before.

“I feel indebted to Sui Sui for being with you.” Huo Zhizhou, being such a shrewd person, could easily see that Su Anran was upset. “Let him be in this small matter as compensation.”

"I know," Su Anran smiled gently. "You don't need to explain."

Watching the two leave like that, Ye Yanzhi was still a little dazed until Su Zhu sat down next to him. Then he gave Sui Sui a thumbs up and said, "You're amazing, my darling."

Who can drive Huo Zhizhou away?

All they have left are their precious babies.

"Come here and give Uncle Ye a kiss." Ye Yanzhi had never felt so good before.

Sui Sui's little face was serious: "No."

Ye Yanzhi asked, "Why?"

"I can only be kissed by my mom and dad, unless you're willing to be my future dad." Sui Sui's little mouth opened and closed as she said something that surprised everyone.

Ye Yanzhi and Su Zhu: "?"

Jiang Ruan: "?"
