Chapter 85 Zhizhou, are you angry?

Huo Zhizhou remained silent and unmoved.

Seeing that he remained silent, Jiang Ruan didn't say what was on the tip of her tongue. Instead, she picked up the earphones next to her and put them on, completely shutting out the outside world.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was 11:59 PM.

Huo Zhizhou glanced at the stopwatch on his wrist. When the second hand pointed to twelve again, he picked up his phone and car keys, stood up, and left. The door slammed shut. Jiang Ruan, noticing the noise, checked the time: 00:00:09.

She ignored it and returned her gaze to the computer screen to continue drawing her sketch.

As for Huo Zhizhou...

When he got off, Assistant Jiang was already waiting by the car.

He tossed him the car keys and got into the car, his broad, straight back leaning against the seat, his thin lips asking a cool question: "How is it?"

"As you predicted, the car accident was deliberately caused by Miss Su." Assistant Jiang sat in the driver's seat, holding a document in his hand. "She followed you after you left the Waterside Villa until you and Miss Jiang accompanied the young master to the amusement park before she left."

Huo Zhizhou's aura became somewhat chilly.

He knew Su Anran was scheming and manipulative, but he didn't expect her to be so careless about her own health.

"This is the complete video of the incident from before to after the accident." Assistant Jiang handed over his work phone.

Huo Zhizhou clicked on it.

Su Anran deliberately chose a place with heavy traffic and suddenly darted out.

A loud thud was heard in the video; it showed Su Anran being hit by a car.

Huo Zhizhou's already tired brows furrowed into a knot, his dark eyes colder than the ice beneath the Arctic, and the air pressure inside the car plummeted to an extreme level: "To the hospital."

Assistant Jiang immediately started the car.

Su Anran had no idea that Huo Zhizhou knew everything about her. When Huo Zhizhou still hadn't arrived by midnight and Gu Shixi had left, her emotions became increasingly extreme.

She took out her phone to call Huo Zhizhou.

Liu Xinyu stopped her: "What are you doing?"

“It’s past midnight.” Su Anran’s whole body ached, but none of that compared to the pain in her chest. “Even if he had to stay with that child all day, he should be here by now.”

Liu Xinyu thought she was obsessed, so she took her phone from her phone and said, "Those who are going to come will come even if you don't call, and those who aren't going to come won't come no matter how much you urge them."

"It must be because Jiang Ruan kept pestering him that he didn't come." Su Anran couldn't accept it. "That must be it."

She reached out to grab the phone from Liu Xinyu's hand. Liu Xinyu didn't want to give it to her, but was afraid that if she moved too much, she would get the IV drip on her hand, so she eventually let her take it.

The first call didn't go through.

She used a different phone number when I called her the second time.

Jiang Ruan was puzzled for a moment when she saw the unfamiliar number. She waited for it to ring for about five or six seconds before answering: "Hello, who is this?"

"Jiang Ruan, how can you be so shameless!" Su Anran was emotionally agitated and the injuries from the car accident made her extremely uncomfortable, so she vented all her frustration on Jiang Ruan. "I'm already like this, and you still won't let go of Zhizhou."

Jiang Ruan: "???"

Jiang Ruan glanced at it and guessed that it was Su Anran's other phone number.

Su Anran continued to berate, "Do you even have any integrity...?"

beep--

Jiang Ruan hung up the phone without hesitation.

She couldn't even be bothered to be angry.

Su Anran couldn't stand this. The various discomforts after the surgery made her increasingly irritable, and she needed to vent to someone. She opened Jiang Ruan's number and dialed it again.

The prompt this time is the same as the first number.

She blocked her again.

"Give me your phone." Su Anran couldn't accept that she had lost so much and hadn't received even a shred of Huo Zhizhou's concern. She was afraid he would find out she was acting, so she chose to actually crash into him.

But the result was completely different from what she had imagined.

Huo Zhizhou did not abandon Jiang Ruan and the child to come to the hospital to be with her, nor did he show any concern about her accident.

She wasn't as important to him as he claimed; he didn't care about her at all!

"Don't be crazy, okay?" Liu Xinyu thought she was being too extreme. "Don't forget that Jiang Ruan is still Huo Zhizhou's wife. What gives you the right to say those things?"

Su Anran clenched her fists: "I am his savior."

Liu Xinyu: "And then?"

Su Anran looked at her, puzzled.

Then, Huo Zhizhou said he would take good care of her and give her everything she wanted.

"I don't know why you insist on getting involved with Huo Zhizhou," Liu Xinyu advised her. "Wouldn't it be better to take a sum of money and live a carefree, leisurely life?"

"Oh no!" Su Anran blurted out.

If she can keep the fact that she impersonated Jiang Ruan a secret forever, that's fine; but if she can't...

Given Huo Zhizhou's personality, if she wanted a sum of money to leave, he would have a thousand ways to make her give it back when he found out the truth.

She could only risk making him fall in love with her. As long as he could fall in love with her, even if the truth came out, he might be more lenient and have more boundaries for her because of their relationship, just like he is with Jiang Ruan now.

“But what good will this do besides ruining your body?” Liu Xinyu was more clear-headed than her. “Don’t you know very well that he won’t like you?”

This sentence brought back the events of last night to Su Anran's mind.

She shook her head: "No..."

Zhizhou said those things because he didn't understand himself well enough.

If you spend more time with him and let him discover your strengths, he will eventually fall in love with you.

He can like someone as bad as Jiang Ruan, so why can't she get his affections when she's so much better than Jiang Ruan?

Huo Zhizhou, who was outside the ward, overheard their conversation. His eyes, which usually showed little emotion, were now completely calm, so calm that Assistant Jiang, who was standing next to him, felt a chill.

With a creak.

The door was opened.

Upon seeing him, Su Anran's eyes lit up, and she sat up without hesitation, ready to speak to him: "Zhizhou, why are you only arriving now? Do you even know..."

"Lie down properly," Huo Zhizhou said in a cold voice as he saw blood returning to the needle.

Su Anran immediately obeyed: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

She immediately lay down, looking at him with a hopeful gaze, as if waiting for praise.

Huo Zhizhou's emotions were very calm, making it impossible to discern his joy or anger.

"Did you just finish your work?" Su Anran felt a little uneasy under his gaze.

Huo Zhizhou: "Mm."

“I didn’t mean to bother you. It was just that I was in so much pain when I was in the car accident, I felt like I was going to die.” Su Anran was even more scared. “I was afraid I would never see you again, so I asked Xinyu to make the call.”

Huo Zhizhou remained silent and did not respond.

The more this happened, the more unsettling the atmosphere became in the ward.

Unable to bear the oppressive atmosphere, Liu Xinyu made an excuse to leave. Su Anran instinctively clutched the blanket to hide her unease: "Zhizhou, are you angry?"
