Chapter 151 The Home That Has Never Been Touched by Outsiders

"You knew Mommy would be unhappy, yet you still did it. It seems you don't care about her as much as you say you do." Sui Sui's words were sincere, her round eyes filled with disdain.

Huo Zhizhou raised an eyebrow slightly.

It was a bit surprising that he was able to discover this point.

"Anyway, I'll tell Mommy about this." Sui Sui wasn't fooled. "Let her know your true colors."

Huo Zhizhou countered, "And then what?"

Sui Sui: "Stay away from you, so you can only ever be Uncle Huo."

"What's the difference between then and now? Besides making her unhappy, you haven't brought her any positive emotional value." Huo Zhizhou squatted down to be at eye level with him, his tactics as deep as ever. "It seems you don't care about her as much as you say you do."

Sui Sui tried to refute him, only to find herself falling into his trap.

hateful.

My dad is too talkative, which isn't very effective.

His little brain was working quickly, and after a while he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "You will lose a son if you do this."

"It's alright, you don't acknowledge me as your father anyway." Huo Zhizhou's thin lips parted slightly, a hint of interest shimmering in his dark eyes.

Sui Sui: "When the grass on your grave is two meters high, no one will sweep your grave."

Huo Zhizhou: "I will arrange everything before I die, and when that time comes, you'll have to line up to visit my grave."

Sui Sui: "..."

Money can't make the devil turn the millstone, but it can certainly get people to help with grave sweeping.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Huo Zhizhou spoke very gently and calmly throughout. "If not, just admit defeat and forget everything you just saw, heard, and knew."

"Do you think you can't argue with me?" Sui Sui asked earnestly.

Huo Zhizhou replied rationally, "At least for now."

“But what if you beat me a lot more times?” Sui Sui found a way to fight back, her voice crisp and clear. “Mommy still doesn’t want to come back to you, and you still can’t be my dad.”

Huo Zhizhou: "..."

This is heartbreaking.

No wonder he's my own son.

Just as she was about to try and recruit him to her side, the bedroom door suddenly opened, and Jiang Ruan walked out, still sleepy-eyed.

Seeing the two people in a harmonious yet very strange position by the door, a question mark appeared above her head: "What's going on with you two...?"

Why is Sui Sui carrying a small chair?

Are the father and son having a heart-to-heart talk or doing something else?

"Mommy!" Sui Sui rushed into her arms and hugged her tightly. "You're awake."

Jiang Ruan rubbed his head and said, "Mmm."

Sui Sui raised her little head and said, "My dad and I were discussing how to visit graves in the future."

Jiang Ruan: "???"

Jiang Ruan's suspicious gaze fell on someone.

Why would someone talk to their son about this so early in the morning? Is this person mentally challenged or doing it on purpose?

“Dad said that if he dies young, many people will visit his grave.” Sui Sui will repay him, “If we don’t stay by his side, we won’t even get a chance to visit his grave.”

His father took him away in the middle of the night.

He altered the words.

It's a matter of reciprocity.

Jiang Ruan suddenly snapped out of her daze, her eyes filled with a torrent of emotions as she looked at Huo Zhizhou.

“I didn’t say that,” Huo Zhizhou said.

Sui Sui confronted him: "You yourself said that even those who want to visit your grave have to wait in line."

Huo Zhizhou stopped himself from saying those words.

That kid.

How do you punctuate sentences like that?

"Sui Sui is still young, don't say things like that in his ear." Jiang Ruan knew that the two of them had probably really discussed these things when she saw that he didn't refute her. "What if it turns out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy..."

Huo Zhizhou: "?"

Sui Sui: "?"

Sui Sui was initially surprised, but then looked at her father with a hint of smugness and silently said: "Mommy also hopes you die young."

Huo Zhizhou understood the look in his eyes.

How come I never noticed before that this kid is such a filial son?

He didn't argue with him, and replied to Jiang Ruan's words with a slight parting of his thin lips: "I understand."

Jiang Ruan didn't say much. After confirming that Sui Sui had gotten up on her own, she went back to her room to wash up. At this moment, she realized that the doubts she had about last night were just her imagination.

Only the father and son remained outside the door.

Huo Zhizhou was about to say something to the little traitor when Sui Sui toddled towards the room with her short legs: "Mommy, I'll find you some clothes!"

Huo Zhizhou: "..."

Ten minutes later.

After washing up, Jiang Ruan went into the dressing room.

Seeing that the inside was completely untouched, as always, a hint of doubt crossed her brow.

Regardless of whether Huo Zhizhou brought Su Anran to live here, how come those pieces of jewelry that she had previously thrown on the ground and smashed are now displayed intact in the cabinet?

"I didn't let anyone move it because I was afraid you wouldn't be able to find where it was when you came back." Huo Zhizhou appeared behind her at some point, looking at her through the mirror in front of her.

Jiang Ruan paused for a moment, then quickly stated the facts: "It has already been done."

"I replaced all the ones that Su Anran had worked on." Huo Zhizhou's attitude was very good, his voice gentle and magnetic. "I also had the brand make the exact same styles of the ones that were broken and sent them over."

Jiang Ruan turned around and looked at him.

Unlike Huo Zhizhou's deep and determined gaze, Jiang Ruan's eyes were only indifferent.

Indifference towards Huo Zhizhou, indifference towards these things.

From the moment she officially moved away from this place, she had completely abandoned these things, and she hadn't missed them even once since she left.

"You don't need to do any of this, we've already..."

Before the word "divorce" could even be uttered, Sui Sui came running over happily and said, "Mommy, are you dressed? Let's go downstairs for breakfast."

Jiang Ruan opened her mouth.

Huo Zhizhou spoke first, "Let's eat first."

The atmosphere at breakfast was somewhat oppressive. Jiang Ruan kept her head down, eating her food without saying a word or looking up. Huo Zhizhou's gaze would occasionally fall on her, his dark eyes as unfathomable as ever.

He knew what Jiang Ruan hadn't finished saying.

I also know what she's thinking right now.

Before leaving, she would definitely mention to him that she wouldn't be staying here tonight.

"Huo Zhizhou," Jiang Ruan spoke up.

Huo Zhizhou slightly raised his dark eyes: "Mm."

"I'm not staying here tonight. After I finish teaching Xinxin, I need to go to the hospital to see my mother," Jiang Ruan said, feeling a little intimidated by him. "I'll come back to play with Suisui for a while the day after tomorrow afternoon."

Huo Zhizhou remained calm: "Ask him."

Sui Sui: "I support all of Mommy's decisions."

Huo Zhizhou knew the outcome, so he didn't participate or interfere at all. He knew that no one could easily change her decision, whether he agreed or disagreed.

Anyway, there's still plenty of time, so he's not in a hurry.

After breakfast, Jiang Ruan was about to go to the Lu family home to teach Xin Xin a lesson. Huo Zhizhou offered to take her. Jiang Ruan wanted to refuse, but it was quite far from Ruan Garden to a place where she could take a taxi, at least half an hour away on foot.

Huo Zhizhou noticed her concerns: "Sui Sui will come with me to see you off, not just me alone."

Surprisingly, Sui Sui didn't contradict him: "Mhm!"

Having said that, Jiang Ruan did not refuse again.

She had just gotten into the car when Huo Zhizhou's phone rang. She glanced at it and saw the words "Su Anran" on the screen.
