Chapter 86 Huo Zhizhou, can't you be a little more sensible?

Chapter 86 Huo Zhizhou, can't you be a little more sensible?

Huo Zhizhou sat down on the chair next to her and asked instead of answering, "Why don't you take your own body seriously?"

“I didn’t take my health lightly.” Su Anran felt very wronged. Before the incident, she checked the surroundings and found no cameras. “I was just missing you so much that I didn’t notice the car coming and that’s when the accident happened. You can ask Xinyu if you don’t believe me.”

Huo Zhizhou looked at him with cold eyes.

Su Anran felt uneasy, but her face remained calm: "Really!"

"I don't like lying." Huo Zhizhou's breath was cool, and this was the first time he had spoken to her in such a serious tone. "I dislike deception even more."

“I didn’t lie.” Su Anran lowered her head, certain that Huo Zhizhou was bluffing her. “I know that calling you at that time seemed intentional, but I really didn’t lie to you.”

Huo Zhizhou's aura instantly darkened.

Su Anran had never seen him like this before.

She carefully recalled all the details of the incident and only continued after confirming that there was definitely no surveillance footage: "Don't you believe me?"

Huo Zhizhou glanced at Assistant Jiang with an emotionless look, and the latter immediately took out his phone containing the complete video, opened the content, and handed it over.

"What is this?" Su Anran asked uncertainly.

Huo Zhizhou raised his eyelids with a cold expression and uttered two emotionless words: "Evidence."

Su Anran's hand froze.

Her heart was pounding nervously. She held her breath and focused her gaze on her phone. One image after another crashed into her vision, throwing her carefully laid plans into disarray.

This video was edited from several different dashcam recordings, and all the footage is clearly presented from different angles.

Su Anran's hands and feet were ice-cold; the fear and panic in her heart overwhelmed the pain from her wounds: "Zhizhou, I..."

At this moment, she was speechless.

Whatever they say is just sophistry.

"I know what you're thinking." Huo Zhizhou looked at her as if she were a stranger. "Given the choice between a car accident and playing with your child, most people would choose the former."

"No..." Su Anran's mind was in turmoil.

Huo Zhizhou's thin lips were pressed into a line, his perfectly sculpted face was cold and indifferent, and his aura dropped to freezing point.

Looking at him like this, Assistant Jiang felt a deep worry in his eyes, afraid that he would return to the state he was in before he got together with Jiang Ruan. At that time, he was similar on the surface, but he knew that the BOSS back then had no feelings.

He only gradually developed a human touch after marrying Jiang Ruan.

"I was just having a moment of weakness." Su Anran, unable to bear the suffocating pressure, said half-truthfully, "I don't know what's wrong with me lately, I'm in a bad mood, and I easily get upset when something unpleasant happens..."

Huo Zhizhou didn't listen to what was said after that.

Another sharp voice appeared in his mind.

—Are you only satisfied when you drive me to my death?

—Didn't I tell you that your mom has been suffering from depression and anxiety lately, and that you should try to make her worry less?

—Huo Zhizhou, can't you be a little more sensible?

Those memories buried deep in her heart were brought to the surface once again by Su Anran's words, and even the silent, unspoken child in the picture was clearly seen.

“Boss.” Assistant Jiang was a little worried about him.

Huo Zhizhou said in a low voice, "Go back and rest first. There's nothing for you to do here."

Jiang's assistant did not move.

Having served as his special assistant for so many years, he probably knows a thing or two about his boss's emotions and state of mind.

He was acting very strangely at that moment.

"Come see me tomorrow at noon," Huo Zhizhou continued, his voice calm and even. "I have something to tell you."

"Okay." Assistant Jiang didn't linger any longer. He knew that the BOSS didn't like to repeat himself, so what followed was a reminder.

Huo Zhizhou hummed in agreement.

He left.

Only Su Anran and Huo Zhizhou remained in the room.

Su Anran was very uncertain. She hadn't received a reply to her question, and she didn't know what Huo Zhizhou was thinking.

“Your current condition is not suitable for taking photos. Let’s wait until you recover,” Huo Zhizhou said slowly in a deep voice, his tone unreadable. “It’s getting late, go and rest.”

Su Anran bit her lip.

I wanted to ask, but I didn't dare to speak because of the cold and distant aura.

She knew she had gone too far; instead of receiving Huo Zhizhou's sympathy and care, she had alienated him from her.

Su Anran slept very restlessly that night, while Huo Zhizhou, who sat by the bed, did not sleep at all.

Jiang Ruan, on the other hand, slept exceptionally soundly.

The next morning.

Jiang Ruan got up very early, and after having breakfast with Sui Sui, she took him to Lu Er's house. Last night, when she was putting him to sleep, she asked him whether he wanted to stay at home and wait for her for three or four hours or go with her.

Sui Sui chose to be with her without hesitation.

She arrived at Lu Er's house before nine o'clock. Although the interview was supposed to be from eight to eleven o'clock, Lu Er called the day after the interview to say that Xin Xin wanted to sleep in a little longer on Saturday, so the interview was changed to nine o'clock to twelve o'clock. From then on, she arrived before nine o'clock every day.

Xin Xin was very happy to see them arrive, and pulled Jiang Ruan towards the dance studio.

Sui Sui was taken to Xin Xin's study by Lu Er: "Take whatever you want to play with or look at here. If you need anything else, go next door to find your uncle."

"Okay." Sui Sui was very well-behaved. "Thank you, Uncle."

Lu Er didn't bother him anymore.

The rest of the morning, Jiang Ruan taught Xin Xin to dance, while Sui Sui quietly read a book.

The dance class ended at exactly twelve o'clock. Jiang Ruan was about to leave with Sui Sui when Lu Er Shao asked them to stay for dinner. Jiang Ruan refused, but Xin Xin was too enthusiastic and pulled her and Sui Sui to stay.

At the dining table.

One after another, sumptuous dishes were served.

Xin Xin chatted with Jiang Ruan the whole time, and it was clear that she liked Jiang Ruan very much: "Teacher Jiang, is this Sui Sui?"

Jiang Ruan nodded: "Yes, you've met before."

At that time, Huo Zhizhou and Xin Xin's father did not get along well, and the children did not greet each other, only glancing at each other from a distance.

"I feel like..." Xin Xin gestured with her hand, her face serious, "He hasn't grown much taller since last time?"

Sizzle!

A critical strike.

Sui Sui's usually calm face was now full of seriousness: "I've grown."

Xin Xin asked in confusion, "Has it grown?"

Sui Sui emphasized, "They've grown."

“But last time you were about the same height as me, but now you’re a little shorter than me?” To prove that she was right, Xin Xin stood up and came to his side.

“That’s because Sui Sui is half a year younger than you.” A gentle voice came, and then Huo Sinian, dressed in a refined manner, walked over and gently touched her head with his large hand. “When you were his age, you weren’t even as tall as him.”

Xin Xin nodded her little head: "That's right!"

Sui Sui: "..."

Out of politeness, Sui Sui greeted Huo Sinian: "Uncle."

Jiang Ruan also called out, "Big Brother."

"Sit down and eat." Huo Sinian sat down with Lu Ershao, his every move exuding gentleness. "Make yourself at home here, don't be shy."

Jiang Ruan and Sui Sui exchanged a glance, then picked up their chopsticks to eat.

During this time, Jiang Ruan was worried that Huo Sinian would tell her about Huo Zhizhou and Su Anran. Although Sui Sui knew about Huo Zhizhou's situation, knowing and hearing are two different things.

As the dinner party drew to a close, Jiang Ruan felt a little relieved.

After politely thanking Sui Sui, she left the table. Just as she was thinking about finding a suitable opportunity to tell Lu Ershao about leaving, Huo Sinian came to her side, his tone still gentle: "Is it convenient for us to go outside and talk about something?"
