Chapter 141 Huo Zhizhou said that Jiang Ruan was his wife.
Liang Xi was extremely flustered.
She never imagined that Jiang Ruan would call the police over such a trivial matter.
Is she really not afraid of people finding out?
“No…” Liang Xi’s palms were sweaty, and her chest was pounding uncontrollably. “I heard it from someone else.”
"Who told you that?" the policeman asked.
Liang Qi glanced at Jiang Ruan subconsciously.
Jiang Ruan remained calm as always, responding to her gaze with an extremely casual remark: "Why are you looking at me when the police are asking you questions?"
"Secretary Su from our company." Liang Xi realized the fear that followed, and her voice trailed off.
She knew she was finished.
What Secretary Su said was something very valuable. If the police asked her about it and she denied it, she would be accused of defamation and spreading rumors, and then she would be finished.
In the end, Jiang Ruan, Liang Qi, and Huo Zhizhou were called to the police station to give statements, and Su Anran in the hospital was no exception.
Half an hour later.
Inside the police station.
Jiang Ruan and the other three sat in a row.
Liang Qi was sitting on the far right. She subconsciously moved closer to Su Anran next to her and asked in a low voice, "Secretary Su, is the thing you mentioned that Jiang Ruan values most that I sent you the message about?"
Besides Su Anran, Huo Zhizhou also heard these words.
His gaze was as cold as a deep pool as he looked over, and his imposing aura made him impossible to ignore.
Su Anran knew her words were correct, but she was still a little apprehensive, so much so that she looked puzzled when answering the question: "What news?"
"The one I sent you," Liang Qi asked.
Su Anran picked up her phone and glanced at it. Seeing an unread message, she said apologetically, "Sorry, I was too tired after replying to your last message, so I went to sleep."
Liang Qi didn't know if it was true or not, so she could only believe it for the time being: "Is that the one I was talking about?"
"How could that be?" Su Anran said softly, "How could you possibly think of that?"
In short.
This made Liang Qi feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
She knew she was finished... Now she had not only misunderstood Jiang Ruan, but also offended President Huo.
"You didn't say these things in front of Ruan Ruan, which is why she called the police, did you?" Su Anran asked suspiciously.
Liang Qi forced a smile, her hands and feet trembling: "Yes."
“You really are something.” Su Anran paused here, glanced at Jiang Ruan on the far left, and then whispered to Liang Qi, “Ruan Ruan is usually very amiable, but if you really cross her bottom line, she won’t let anyone get away with it.”
Liang Qi bit her lip, harboring resentment towards her.
If she had said that earlier, how could she have been so stupid as to say those things to Jiang Ruan?
If she hadn't deliberately said things that could be misunderstood, she would never have offended Jiang Ruan. She would have just maintained a good facade, just like before, even if she didn't like her.
“Apologize to her properly later,” Su Anran added. “Be sincere, and she won’t hold it against you.”
As they were saying this, the police began to question them.
After they asked their first question, Liang Qi suddenly spoke up, his face looking rather grim: "I'm sorry, officers. I misunderstood Secretary Su's meaning. I apologize to Jiang Ruan. I'm sorry."
police:"……"
Jiang Ruan: "I don't accept it."
Liang Qi clenched her fists suddenly, but managed to suppress her emotions: "I know this has caused you a lot of harm, and I'm willing to make amends."
"If a simple misunderstanding and an apology can be enough to clear things up, then the cost of spreading rumors is too low." Jiang Ruan has a gentle personality, but she doesn't easily compromise on many things. "What could have made you misunderstand like this?"
“Secretary Su said you used something very valuable to get money from President Huo to treat your mother,” Liang Qi said truthfully. “I misunderstood for a moment.”
"Is that true?" the police officer asked Su Anran.
Su Anran glanced at Huo Zhizhou and Jiang Ruan, and replied, "Yes."
Liang Qi: "?"
Liang Xi was truly dumbfounded.
She had always thought that Secretary Su was deliberately saying these things to make her misunderstand that Jiang Ruan had a relationship with President Huo, but now what she meant by these words... that Jiang Ruan really has a relationship with President Huo?
But besides her body, what else could she exchange for money with Mr. Huo?
"What is it?" the policeman asked.
“This…” Su Anran hesitated, her gaze falling on Huo Zhizhou beside her, her eyes filled with complex emotions, “Zhizhou doesn’t want me to tell anyone, I need to ask for his opinion.”
The police had no choice but to ask Huo Zhizhou, "Mr. Huo."
Before he could ask any questions, Huo Zhizhou took Jiang Ruan's right hand in his left hand and said with a slight smile, "Jiang Ruan is my wife. I made her angry, and she wanted to sell the ring I gave her out of spite. I am the buyer."
police:"……"
This is quite a public display of affection.
Liang Qi: "!!!"
Liang Xi felt like she had suffered a critical hit of 100,000 points.
Jiang Ruan is actually the rumored Mrs. Huo, who is doted on by the second young master of the Huo family!
Her emotions gradually shifted from shock upon hearing the news to terror and fear, until finally her whole body turned ice-cold.
No wonder President Huo made a special trip during the team building event, no wonder he went on stage and held Jiang Ruan's hand on the night of the anniversary celebration, no wonder he called Jiang Ruan Ruan Ruan.
I see.
"Secretary Su." Liang Qi couldn't bring herself to hate Jiang Ruan at all; all her emotions were directed at Su Anran. "You knew from the beginning?"
"I know, but President Huo instructed me not to tell anyone," Su Anran replied calmly, but inwardly she was burning with jealousy.
She hadn't expected Huo Zhizhou to admit it so readily.
Wasn't he trying to deal with Jiang Ruan? Wasn't he trying to make her suffer so she would come back to him?
Why admit it so readily?
Why such a doting tone?
"Then why did you say things that could be misunderstood?" If her words hadn't been so suggestive, she wouldn't have misunderstood Jiang Ruan like that. "If you hadn't said those things, I wouldn't have wrongly accused Jiang Ruan."
Su Anran tilted her head: "Are you blaming me?"
Liang Qi swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Jiang Ruan is Mrs. Huo, whom she cannot afford to offend; Su Anran is Mr. Huo's secretary, whom she also cannot afford to offend.
and……
Liang Qi suddenly thought of the past. Su Anran deliberately maintained a close relationship with President Huo and even used ambiguous terms of address. If it weren't for this incident, she might have thought that President Huo liked Su Anran over time.
"The primary responsibility for this matter lies with Liang Xi, while Su Anran bears secondary responsibility due to her suggestive remarks." The police made their judgment after understanding the whole story. "Fortunately, this matter did not cause serious consequences. This time, we will only give her a reprimand and education; if there is a next time, we will impose an administrative penalty."
Liang Qi was completely dumbfounded: "Yes."
Su Anran hadn't expected to get involved: "Okay."
"You should apologize to the person involved and compensate them for their losses," the police officer continued.
"I'm sorry, Jiang Ruan." Liang Qi was very sincere. She was really flustered and scared. "I misunderstood you because I misinterpreted what others meant. I am deeply sorry for everything that has happened to you. I am willing to pay two thousand yuan as compensation for emotional distress."
"No need, this money is for you to improve your brainpower." Jiang Ruan glanced at Su Anran as she said this.
"Thank you." Liang Qi didn't dare to be presumptuous.
Su Anran was very dissatisfied with the result. Her hands, hanging at her sides, gradually clenched, and she didn't even realize that her fingertips were digging into her palms.
Not wanting to be targeted by Jiang Ruan, Liang Qi looked at Su Anran and said, "Secretary Su, aren't you going to apologize to Jiang Ruan?"
