Chapter 100 He's unhappy, and he'll make you unhappy too.

Chapter 100 He's unhappy, and he'll make you unhappy too.

Jiang Chenren, that dog, admitted it?!

Has he forgotten his promise to Jiang An?

"I asked him who my biological father is, and he told me to ask you instead," Jiang Ruan said, sounding very convincing.

“Baby.” Xu Jiu’s expression remained calm throughout, so much so that he was still trying to fool her. “Is it possible that you’ve been deceived by the testing center and Jiang Chenren?”

Jiang Ruan asked, "He has no reason to lie to me about this."

Xu Jiu firmly answered with one word: "Yes."

Jiang Ruan: "?"

How can this be a lie?

“Have you forgotten his recent situation?” Xu Jiu knew about Jiang Chenren’s situation when they chatted before. “He’ll feel unbalanced going from being the CEO to a lowly employee washing cups. His mentality will collapse over time.”

"What does this have to do with him lying to me?" Jiang Ruan really couldn't understand this line of thinking.

“Think about it, you are Huo Zhizhou’s wife. Even if you are talking about divorce, it hasn’t been finalized yet.” Xu Jiu’s words were almost believable to herself. “So he feels that you clearly have the ability to get him out of his current situation, but you are unwilling.”

Jiang Ruan frowned slightly.

Xu Jiuke patiently said, "Therefore, if he's unhappy, he'll make you unhappy too."

“Aunt Xu.” Jiang Ruan wasn’t buying it at all. Her reaction when she asked the first question was too strange. “Do you know you have a habit?”

Xu Jiu remained outwardly calm: "What?"

“Whenever you feel guilty, you unconsciously say a lot of things.” Jiang Ruan was telling the truth.

This is something my mother said when I saw her arguing with her before.

Xu Jiu: "..."

Xu Jiu's mentality is quite broken.

After all these years of being a seasoned womanizer, it's surprising that she can't even handle a little kid.

"It's a done deal that my dad isn't my biological father." Jiang Ruan's heart was filled with complex emotions, but she didn't show it. "Right now, I just want to know why my mom is with him."

"Then you should find a few more agencies to do it," Xu Jiu suddenly said.

Jiang Ruan: "?"

"I'm 100% sure that Jiang Chenren is your father." No way, Xu Jiu reverted to her usual carefree attitude. "You'd better be careful lately; I have a feeling someone's watching you."

Jiang Ruan didn't expect her to change so quickly.

Xu Jiu asked again, "Have you offended anyone recently?"

Jiang Ruan shook her head: "No."

Aside from Huo Zhizhou and Su Anran, it's impossible for either of them to know these things about her.

"Who guided you to do the paternity test?" Xu Jiu continued to ask, her words and expression full of genuine concern.

Jiang Ruan was a little confused by the question: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Ruan is very clever; she knows how to use the results directly to deceive people.

Even the most clever young ginger will have its flaws discovered by the old ginger brought out by Jiang An.

Xu Jiu was very glad that he had kept silent most of the time and hadn't given any random answers. He also discovered the problem at a crucial moment, otherwise he might have really been tricked in this matter.

"Someone is trying to disturb your peace of mind," Xu Jiu told her. "I'll come back in a few days to make sure you don't get completely fooled."

"I..." Jiang Ruan wanted to explain.

"It's getting late, go to sleep," Xu Jiu urged her. "You never believe me, even though I'm so good to you for nothing."

Jiang Ruan's mind was in disarray: "I just..."

“I know what I said last time made you have some bad feelings, but you can trust me about this.” Xu Jiu interrupted her and started to speak sincerely. “If you really don’t trust me, just find a few more testing centers, just not in Jingzhou.”

Such a serious admonition made Jiang Ruan doubt for a moment whether she had made a mistake.

But Aunt Xu's reaction when she asked about her biological father clearly indicated a problem.

Time didn't give her much time to think, and Xu Jiu urged her to go to sleep: "Go to sleep, think about it slowly after you wake up."

Jiang Ruan was indeed sleepy.

She said goodnight and then hung up the phone.

Xu Jiu said goodbye to her, and only after the phone call ended did her tense heart finally relax. Overwhelmed with emotion, she opened Jiang An's WeChat and sent a voice message: "You bastard, you're still not awake. Do you know that I almost got tricked by Ruan Ruan just now?"

Xu Jiu knew the other party wouldn't reply: "Luckily, I'm extremely smart and reacted in time."

Xu Jiu: "I don't care, you have to pay me for my emotional distress after I wake up, or I'm not done with you!"

If she hadn't realized that Ruan Ruan's behavior was problematic, she would have really been in trouble. Ruan Ruan was born after Jiang An and Jiang Chenren got married. Even if she really knew that Ruan Ruan wasn't Jiang Chenren's child, she wouldn't have rashly taken the paternity test results to ask him.

She didn't know the whole story.

If she asks, it could very likely lead Jiang Chenren to think that Jiang An is cheating or something else. She cares about Jiang An so much, how could she ask before she understands the situation!

I was almost intimidated by her.

but……

Xu Jiu was still a little worried.

She finally decided to finish what she was doing and go back in a few days, just in case something unexpected happened and she could lie to him face to face.

——

Jiang Ruan was completely unaware of the flaws in her words, and eager to get an answer, she directly used the result to deceive.

Lying in bed, she didn't fall asleep immediately, still pondering what Xu Jiu had said.

What is certain now is that her parents signed a prenuptial agreement. All her expenses from childhood to adulthood were her mother's compensation for helping her father establish the Jiang Group. Her mother knew about the Jiang Group's collapse, but she was not angry about her father's abandonment of his wife and daughter.

Other things are still a bit messy for now.

Unable to figure it out, she stopped thinking about it and closed her eyes, falling asleep.

She woke up after 10 a.m., ate something to fill her stomach, changed her clothes, and headed to the hotel where Yuan Yi's 10th anniversary celebration was being held.

When she arrived, Director Luo, Bai Jian, and others from her department were already there. Upon seeing her, Director Luo smiled and waved to her, saying, "Jiang Ruan, come here for a moment."

Jiang Ruan had no choice but to go over.

After all, he was her department head.

"Director Luo, Sister Bai Jian," she greeted simply.

"No wonder she's the face of our department, she's really good-looking," Director Luo said with a smile, as if none of the things he said during the team building event had happened. "Have you had lunch yet?"

Jiang Ruan politely replied, "I ate."

Director Luo glanced behind her a few times, his eyes darting around.

"Did you call me over for something?" Jiang Ruan asked proactively, not believing that he had called her over just to ask if she had eaten.

"It's nothing," Director Luo said, looking away naturally. "I just wanted to ask if President Huo will be coming tonight."

Jiang Ruan's aloofness reached its peak at this moment: "I don't know."

"There are only the three of us here, so you don't need to worry about anything," Director Luo said softly.

"If you, as the director, don't know, how could a mere employee like Jiang Ruan know?" Bai Jian spoke up, her tone as calm as ever. "If you want to make things difficult for someone, you shouldn't do it this way."

"How is this a problem for me..." Director Luo retorted.

Before she could finish speaking, a lively commotion suddenly erupted at the hotel entrance, drawing the attention of Jiang Ruan and the others.
