Chapter 106 Su Anran Threatens with Promises

The message was sent, but the other party did not reply.

Gu Shixi had no choice but to continue focusing on the surveillance, watching Yu Yanfeng and Yi Yun's every move.

As a man himself, he knew all too well what their words meant.

Talking to President Song is just an excuse.

They most likely wanted to sneak in while Jiang Ruan was changing clothes.

As he had guessed, the two of them went to see General Manager Song and asked to use the women's changing room on the grounds that a friend's clothes were wet. After General Manager Song informed them, they went straight there.

Jiang Ruan was also aware of this.

She took the clothes she had worn at noon from the women's changing room and changed into her dress in no time, completing the whole process in less than two minutes.

My phone vibrated. I pulled it out and saw a text message: "Those two dogs are here. Be careful."

The sender is an unknown contact.

But she knew it was Xue Yan.

She put her phone in her bag and walked out of the dressing room, taking the elevator downstairs from the other side before the two arrived.

When Gu Shixi saw this scene, he breathed a sigh of relief. Before he could fully calm down, his attention was drawn to the person below who was being surrounded by a group of people.

Huo Sinian!!!

Watching him greet President Song and the others with ease downstairs, Gu Shixi hurriedly took out his phone and called Huo Zhizhou. It rang several times before the other end answered: "Hello."

"Huo Sinian is here." Gu Shixi frowned slightly, his gaze still fixed on the person downstairs.

Huo Zhizhou paused for a moment as he answered the phone, his gaze unconsciously falling on Su Anran.

The latter looked bewildered: "What's wrong, Zhizhou?"

Huo Zhizhou didn't avoid her question and asked directly, "Where's Jiang Ruan?"

“She just changed her clothes and went downstairs, so she hasn’t run into Huo Sinian yet.” Gu Shixi kept her eyes fixed on him, not daring to relax for a moment. “But I always feel like he’s here for Jiang Ruan.”

Huo Zhizhou fell silent.

For anyone else, Gu Shixi would be perfectly adequate there.

Huo Sinian is a deep and cunning man who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. He appears to be a kind and gentle person on the surface, but he is actually full of evil intentions.

He went there entirely because of Ruan Ruan.

"What do you want me to do?" Gu Shixi was unsure.

"When you go downstairs later, keep a proper distance from him. Write down who he talks to and what he says." Huo Zhizhou's heart sank little by little. "I'll be right there."

Gu Shixi said "okay".

But he knew that it would take about an hour to drive from the hospital, and even if he told the driver to speed, it would still take 30 to 40 minutes.

Not to mention that it's rush hour right now.

Huo Zhizhou had thought about these things too, and he immediately chose a route that was still quite congested for the time being.

"Zhizhou," Su Anran grabbed him, "Are you leaving?"

"Something came up with Jiang Ruan," Huo Zhizhou didn't hide it from her. "I have to go there. I'll come see you again tomorrow."

Su Anran's eyes dimmed instantly: "I understand."

Huo Zhizhou hummed in agreement.

Just as they were about to leave, Su An arrived halfway through.

"You said you would take good care of me, but you wouldn't even stay here a little longer while I was in the hospital." Su Anran started to use moral blackmail, no longer playing the victim. "You said you wouldn't care about Ruan Ruan anymore, but you still abandoned me, your savior, for her sake."

Huo Zhizhou paused in his steps.

Su Anran continued, "If you can't take care of me, why did you make that promise in the first place?"

"Don't you think you're being a little too hasty?" Huo Zhizhou glanced at her with unfathomable eyes, then left after saying this, not taking her words to heart at all, including the word "promise."

He values ​​commitment.

But that doesn't mean he's a fool who can be manipulated by her.

Su Anran's heart skipped a beat.

Before she could say anything, Huo Zhizhou had already disappeared from the ward, which made her feel a little uneasy. She couldn't help but think about what he meant by the words he said before he left.

She wanted to ask, but she was afraid of hearing something she didn't want to hear from him. He had always been cruel to himself, especially after what happened last time, he had become much less lenient with her.

After getting into the car, Huo Zhizhou instructed the driver to go to the hotel as quickly as possible.

At the same time, he sent a message to Bai Jian.

Jiang Ruan had no idea that so much had happened in such a short time. After changing her clothes and drying her hair, she went to the hotel lobby to meet up with Bai Jian and the others.

"Do you know Miss Xue and the others?" Director Luo asked as soon as they sat down.

The others also perked up their ears for gossip.

If there's a melon to eat, why not take advantage of it?

"I saw her once at an art exhibition." Jiang Ruan's lie came out of nowhere, yet it was surprisingly believable. "Miss Xue took a liking to my painting, and we chatted briefly for a few minutes."

"I see." Director Luo believed him. "I didn't expect you to know so many people."

Jiang Ruan gave a perfunctory "hmm".

Liang Qi also inquired about the gossip: "Will President Huo be coming?"

Jiang Ruan: "?"

"It seems like the person who just arrived was President Huo's brother." Liang Qi looked in the direction where Huo Sinian and President Song left, genuinely curious. "Was he here on behalf of President Huo, or to check on the company that President Huo is currently managing?"

Jiang Ruan was even more confused.

Big brother?

"Jiang Ruan." A voice suddenly appeared.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

Then she saw Mr. Song, the original boss of Yuanyi, walk over with a gentle smile and greet her in a warm voice: "Come here for a moment."

Jiang Ruan had a bad feeling, but she couldn't refuse when her boss called her.

"Come inside with me for dinner." President Song said this rather softly, and not many people heard it. "Young Master Huo personally instructed me to do so."

“I’m right outside…” Jiang Ruan tried to refuse.

"Let's go." President Song's attitude was very good, but his words carried an unquestionable air.

Jiang Ruan took a couple of steps and then stopped, offering an excuse: "I'm not very good at drinking, and I'm not very good at talking either. What if I accidentally offend Young Master Huo? That would be a terrible mistake."

"We're family, what's there to offend?" President Song said in a very low voice, only the two of them could hear, "Young Master Huo was just telling me to invite his sister-in-law in for dinner."

Jiang Ruan admitted defeat.

There's no way to avoid this situation no matter how many times you try.

As Jiang Ruan left with President Song, everyone wondered if she was some kind of hidden heiress, since she had just been called a friend by Miss Xue and then personally invited in for dinner by President Song.

“Secretary Su said before that Ruan Ruan used to come from a very wealthy family, but they went bankrupt later.” Liang Qi’s suspicions about Jiang Ruan had reached their peak. “Could she really be the heiress of the bankrupt Jiang Group?”

Jiang Ruan denied it.

But everything is pointing in that direction now.

"Regardless of whether it is true or not, judging from the special treatment she is receiving from Miss Xue and President Song, her identity is definitely not ordinary." Director Luo said, recalling what happened during the team building activity. "If there are any problems at work in the future, everyone should try to go along with her as much as possible."

Hearing this, most of the people in the department were somewhat agitated.

Everything else is fine, but it feels weird to have them all go along with it.

"As expected of Director Luo, one sentence from her has ruined all of Jiang Ruan's efforts over this period of time." Bai Jian spoke up, still directly addressing the key point, "She doesn't need anyone to go along with her. We worked together for so long recently, wasn't that enough for everyone to see her capabilities?"
