Chapter 170 No one dares to disobey President Huo's words

Lin Feng agreed quickly.

Lin Bei asked, "Boss, shall we go to the old house or the hospital?"

"The hospital," Huo Zhizhou replied.

If Jiang An wakes up, even with his threat, Jiang Ruan will most likely find a way to leave; she won't be soft-hearted for long.

Jiang Ruan and Sui Sui had already arrived at the hospital.

Su Zhu was also there when they arrived.

Su Zhu was a little surprised to see her return: "Why are you back?! Weren't you supposed to be gone for two more days?"

"I came back as soon as I finished dealing with things over there." Jiang Ruan led Sui Sui inside, glanced at the hospital bed, and then hesitated before asking, "My mother, did she really wake up?"

Su Zhu: "Mm!"

Jiang Ruan came to the bedside and saw that the person was still asleep: "Did she say anything?"

"He didn't say much, just looked around." Su Zhu told her based on what had happened. "I asked Dr. Zhou, and he said it's normal, so you don't need to worry."

Jiang Ruan felt a tightness in her chest.

She didn't expect her mother to wake up at this critical moment, which was a comfort to her when she was feeling disheartened.

"Ruan Ruan." Su Zhu looked at her expression, which hadn't shown much emotion since she came in, and her intuition told her that something she didn't know had happened.

Jiang Ruan looked up: "Hmm?"

Su Zhu: What's wrong with you?

Jiang Ruan casually remarked, "I'm wondering when Mom will fully wake up."

“Something’s not right.” Su Zhu walked up to her, glanced at Sui Sui on the other side of the hospital bed, and whispered in her ear, “Your expression clearly means something has happened. What happened?”

Jiang Ruan stared blankly into her eyes.

Su Zhu poked her waist: "Stop pretending to be innocent. I know exactly what's on your face and what you're feeling. If you have nothing else to say, I'll eat the shit you ate."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

Jiang Ruan's terrible mood inexplicably disappeared: "There's no need for that."

"Did that scumbag Huo Zhizhou do something again?" This was the only possibility Su Zhu could think of that could have put her sister in this state of mind.

She is able to overcome difficulties she encounters at work.

If she encounters problems in her life, she will find a way to solve them.

Only Huo Zhizhou, who is difficult to control, brings her all sorts of emotions and troubles.

"I'll tell you the details tonight," Jiang Ruan replied softly. "Tell me when you're done, and I'll come find you."

Su Zhu: "I'm free today, I'll go home with you later."

Jiang Ruan paused.

Before she could speak, Sui Sui, who had heard this, asked first, "Is Aunt Su coming back to Ruanyuan with us?"

Su Zhu: "?"

Soft Garden?

Isn't it Fengyue Huating?

Although I was puzzled, I didn't ask any more questions, thinking I'd talk about it later that evening.

Half an hour later.

Seeing that her mother showed no signs of waking up, Jiang Ruan stood up and said to Su Zhu, "Can you keep an eye on Sui Sui? I'm going to find Dr. Zhou to ask about the situation."

“Okay.” Su Zhu didn’t suggest going together, guessing that the matter she was going to ask might not be suitable for Sui Sui to be present.

When Jiang Ruan found Dr. Zhou, he had just finished working.

She first asked about her mother's situation, and the answer was the same as what Su Zhu had said.

"Don't worry, your mother will be fully awake in a week at most." Dr. Zhou thought she was worried about this, seeing her expression. "Don't worry too much."

Jiang Ruan: "Okay."

Dr. Zhou: "Is there anything else?"

"I want to ask about what happened last night." Jiang Ruan asked, her eyes meeting his, her expression serious. "Sui Sui was sent here in such a critical condition, did you really listen to Huo Zhizhou and there was no way to save her?"

Dr. Zhou paused for a moment, then quickly replied, "Yes."

“I know you’re not like that,” Jiang Ruan said sincerely. “Whenever a patient needs treatment, you try your best to contact the patient’s family. I want to know why no one contacted me last night.”

Normally, if the hospital has her phone number and knows about her relationship with Sui Sui, they would contact her even if Huo Zhizhou forbade them to perform emergency treatment.

They didn't, and that's a clear loophole.

“No one dares to disobey Mr. Huo.” Dr. Zhou changed his tune. “The hospital belongs to him, and we are all his employees.”

"I understand." Jiang Ruan didn't pursue the matter further, knowing that asking further would be pointless.

She turned and left, but her heart felt heavy.

As they reached the door, Dr. Zhou suddenly called out, "Ms. Jiang."

Jiang Ruan turned around and looked back.

Dr. Zhou said, "President Huo is a very good person. Perhaps some things may seem incomprehensible or infuriating on the surface, but he has a good heart."

"I don't see what's good about letting a child's life be in danger without providing treatment," Jiang Ruan said before leaving.

After returning to the ward, he told Su Zhu and Sui Sui, and then left the hospital with them.

Just as he was about to ask Su Zhu where they should meet that evening, Huo Zhizhou's car suddenly stopped in front of them.

"Have you finished seeing Mom?" Huo Zhizhou asked as he opened the car door and came to her.

Jiang Ruan gave a faint "Mm".

Huo Zhizhou took her hand: "Let's go home."

Jiang Ruan didn't move.

Huo Zhizhou asked her patiently, his tone gentle and his demeanor refined: "What's wrong?"

"I have something to discuss with Su Zhu, I'll be back later." Jiang Ruan wanted to clear her head, as her tense state was likely to affect Sui Sui. "You take Sui Sui away first."

Huo Zhizhou looked at Su Zhu, who was staring at him and Jiang Ruan with a look of utter disbelief, and agreed without hesitation: "Okay, send me a message when you come back, and I'll have someone pick you up."

He wasn't afraid that she would talk to Su Zhu about what happened last night.

Even if it was just a performance he put on, once it's done, it's done. He understands that she needs to vent her emotions to someone.

No matter what she says to Su Zhu, she can't leave her anytime soon.

"We'll see." Jiang Ruan pulled her hand away from his, said something to Sui Sui, and got into Su Zhu's car. "Let's go."

Su Zhu was full of questions, but she held them back and said, "Okay."

The car sped away.

Only Sui Sui and Huo Zhizhou remained. Sui Sui's little face was full of accusation, and she spoke very rudely: "What did you do to make Mommy angry?"

Huo Zhizhou: "Get in the car."

Sui Sui stubbornly insisted on an answer: "You answer first."

Huo Zhizhou carried him into the car: "Adult matters are not suitable for children to know. You just need to know that from today onwards you should call me Dad."

"What did you say, Uncle Huo?" Sui Sui asked deliberately.

"You like this nickname so much?" Huo Zhizhou asked.

Sui Sui nodded: "Yes."

Huo Zhizhou was always very skilled at manipulating him: "The tuition for next semester will be due soon. Remember to ask your father for it then. I, as your uncle, am not worthy to do so."

Sui Sui: "..."

All they know is how to threaten him with money.

When he grows up and makes money, the first thing I'll do is take out a lot of cash and bury him inside!

"Don't change the subject." He quickly steered the conversation back, deeply concerned about the matter. "Are you threatening Mommy with my allergies? Or are you using some other shady tactics?"

Huo Zhizhou replied matter-of-factly, "Am I that kind of person?"

Sui Sui replied affirmatively, "Yes."
