Chapter 99 Huo Zhizhou and Ye Yanzhi's Direct Showdown

"Hasn't this already happened?" Jiang Ruan was completely unaffected by his words.

Huo Zhizhou's eyes darkened slightly.

He knew she was referring to his relationship with Su Anran.

"Mr. Huo, you can't possibly not even afford a hundred yuan to pay, can you?" Ye Yanzhi chimed in. "Should I put in a good word for you with Xiao Jiangjiang and ask her to waive it for you?"

“Okay,” Huo Zhizhou blurted out.

Ye Yanzhi's smile froze.

Jiang Ruan: "..."

Huo Zhizhou put down his chopsticks, stood up, picked up his suit jacket and the bag containing Sui Sui's clothes, and said to him unhurriedly, "Then I'll trouble Young Master Ye to put in a good word for me."

After saying that, he left without paying attention to their expressions.

As the door slammed shut, Ye Yanzhi and Jiang Ruan looked at each other, the former with a big question mark on his forehead.

"When did Huo Zhizhou become such a shameless person?" Ye Yanzhi didn't know much about him, relying only on her past impressions and rumors. Did he really not care about saving face?

Jiang Ruan: "It always has been."

Ye Yanzhi: "Are you serious?"

Jiang Ruan nodded.

To the outside world, Huo Zhizhou is more of a calm and deep-thinking person, but anyone who has offended him or knows him knows that he is a cunning and treacherous person at heart.

Huo Zhizhou went downstairs and got into the car; his eyes were even darker than the night outside.

Jiang, the assistant in the driver's seat, felt a strong sense of oppression in the car, making it difficult to breathe. However, since the boss did not speak, he did not make any rash moves.

An hour later.

Ye Yan arrived.

He twirled the car keys in his hand with his index finger, walking with ease and comfort, clearly in a very good mood.

Huo Zhizhou's eyes were fixed on him. Did a meal take an hour to finish?

He rolled down the car window.

Assistant Jiang wisely turned on the car lights and honked the horn.

drop--

Ye Yanzhi paused, then turned his gaze to Huo Zhizhou sitting by the car window. The darkness obscured his emotions. He casually walked over and asked, "President Huo, you haven't left yet?"

"Young Master Ye has a lot of free time," Huo Zhizhou said meaningfully.

"You've caused me so much trouble, how could you possibly have the time for something like this?" Ye Yanzhi bluntly stated.

Huo Zhizhou glanced at the residential high-rise buildings next door.

Ye Yanzhi understood what he meant: "But even if I'm busy, I have plenty of time for Xiao Jiang Jiang."

Huo Zhizhou's unfathomable gaze fell upon him, taking in all his emotional changes, and finally he threw out a sentence: "I know what you're thinking, even if you've never admitted it."

Ye Yanzhi did not understand what he meant by that.

"But I can tell you right now." Huo Zhizhou spoke casually, but his words struck a chord directly at people's hearts, "What you're thinking about will never come true in your lifetime."

"Really?" Ye Yanzhi didn't believe it.

Huo Zhizhou replied firmly, "Yes."

Ye Yanzhi: "It all depends on human effort; no one can say for sure what will happen before it happens."

"No matter how much things can be done by human effort, my relationship with Jiang Ruan needs to end." Huo Zhizhou dropped a bombshell on him with a nonchalant tone, "What if I don't end it?"

Ye Yanzhi's brows furrowed instantly: "What do you mean?"

The only response he received was the car window that Jiang's assistant had rolled up, gradually obscuring Huo Zhizhou's face from view. Just as he was about to knock on the window to ask for clarification, the car started moving and drove away.

Huo Zhizhou glanced at the rearview mirror.

Ye Yanzhi was staring at their car, his expression looking rather grim.

He stood there for a while before getting into the car, torn between whether or not to go upstairs and tell Jiang Ruanzhong.

Huo Zhizhou meant he wouldn't divorce her, but things had already escalated to this point; how could things end without a divorce? Jiang Ruan was intolerant of infidelity; there was no way she wouldn't divorce him.

But what if?

Huo Zhizhou is a man who has always been difficult to understand.

After thinking it over, he took out his phone and sent a message to Jiang Ruan: [Are you busy?]

Jiang Ruan: [What's up?]

Ye Yanzhi: [I just suddenly thought of something, what if Huo Zhizhou doesn't want a divorce?]

Even after the cooling-off period ends, if one party doesn't want a divorce, the other party can't get one. The only remaining option is divorce litigation. However, Huo Zhizhou has a top-notch legal team, and winning against him is harder than climbing to heaven.

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Jiang Ruan sent him a voice message: "Impossible."

If we don't get a divorce, how can we let Su Anran be exposed to the world?

If we don't let her see the light of day, how can we openly and legitimately make her Mrs. Huo?

"What if?" Ye Yanzhi thought about Huo Zhizhou's expression when he said that; it didn't seem like he was joking.

“Not getting a divorce won’t do him any good.” Jiang Ruan continued sending voice messages, rationally discussing the matter. “He’s not stupid.”

Ye Yanzhi fell silent.

He knew perfectly well that Jiang Ruan was 100% certain about getting a divorce.

The two chatted casually for a couple more minutes before ending the conversation.

After talking to him, Jiang Ruan called Sui Sui before turning on her computer to make money. She planned to draw until four or five in the morning before going to sleep, so that it would be noon at Aunt Xu's place, and she could call her to test the waters.

The next day is the anniversary celebration and there's no work, so there's no need to worry too much about feeling tired.

The work group also notified people at noon that those who have performances need to arrive before 1 p.m. tomorrow, and she can go over at noon.

Thinking about these things allows one to immerse themselves in making money.

It was around four or five in the morning.

She has already completed two sketches.

Seeing that it was almost time, she sent Xu Jiu a message. A video call quickly appeared on the other end, and the person on the other end said, "It should only be four or five in the morning in China at this time. Are you up, or are you still awake?"

"I didn't sleep," Jiang Ruan replied honestly.

Xu Jiu: "?"

Xu Jiu noticed her tired face: "Working overtime?"

Jiang Ruan: "Mm."

"You didn't believe what I told you last time?" Xu Jiu put her phone on the table and propped her head up with one hand.

When Jiang Ruan saw that she had brought up the matter herself, she followed up by saying, "Speaking of which, I happen to have something I want to ask you."

Xu Jiu fiddled with her manicured nails: "You tell me."

"Who is my biological father?" Jiang Ruan asked from a different angle.

Xu Jiu paused.

I held that position for two or three seconds.

This reaction made Jiang Ruan, who was initially only a little suspicious, seven-tenths believe it. She kept searching her mind for any information and continued to bluff: "Is it the man I showed you last time?"

"No." Xu Jiu answered reflexively without even thinking.

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Jiang Ruan asked, "Who is that?"

"Who else could it be?" Xu Jiu's heart was still racing, but she answered her calmly, "Jiang Chenren, of course."

When Jiang Ruan wanted to do something, her mind worked exceptionally well: "He's not."

Xu Jiu spoke against his will, but was very serious: "How could he not be? You are the child he and Jiang An had together."

“I did a DNA test with him.” Jiang Ruan was quite good at making things up, but her face was extremely deceptive. “I also took the test results to him, and he admitted it.”

Xu Jiu: "???"

Xu Jiu was no longer calm!
