Chapter 182 Huo Zhizhou picks up Jiang Ruan from get off work

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and their expressions were quite subtle when they saw it was her.

They didn't know Jiang Ruan was President Huo's wife before, so they didn't think much about her relationship with Su Anran. Now it seems that Su Anran is a bit scheming.

She acted as Huo's secretary and came to work with him, while smiling at Jiang Ruan, who didn't like her.

This looks really strange.

"Secretary Su." The others, unaware of the situation, greeted her as usual.

"I heard you were hospitalized." Out of politeness, someone asked, "Are you feeling better?"

"I'm much better." After telling them, Su Anran smiled and came to Jiang Ruan, placing her hands on the table with an innocent smile. "Ruan Ruan, why don't you care about me? You haven't come to see me for a while, and I've been so sad."

Jiang Ruan glanced at her sideways.

Thick-skinned people can be invincible.

"Stop being so arrogant, okay? Look at me, I'm in the hospital because of all this bad luck." Su Anran pulled her hand, acting like best friends arguing. She was certain that Jiang Ruan was easygoing and wouldn't talk about her relationship with Huo Zhizhou or her relationship with Jiang Ruan outside.

Unless she brings it up, her coldness is seen as rudeness by others.

"Don't touch me." Jiang Ruan pulled her hand out of her palm and took the alcohol disinfectant from the side. "I think it's dirty."

Su Anran's face stiffened.

Seeing this, the others immediately came over to smooth things over.

"Secretary Su, have you had breakfast? I have some cake here."

"Jiang Ruan, what did you learn on your business trip? Are the bigwigs of the Huo Group as incredibly capable as the legends say?"

Amid the questions from the crowd.

Su Anran went down the steps and left Jiang Ruan's position.

Jiang Ruan gave polite answers to their questions, which were meant to ease the tension.

Soon the others arrived one after another. Everyone glanced at Jiang Ruan, but fortunately, there was a meeting in the morning and not many people discussed the matter.

The rest of the day.

The crowd was noticeably more polite to Jiang Ruan than before.

Seeing this, Su Anran pulled Liang Qi into the tea room: "What's wrong with them? Why are they all so much more polite to Jiang Ruan than before? Did you tell her about her relationship with Huo Zhizhou?"

Some people had been nice to Jiang Ruan before, but most of them were just colleagues.

Most people were very polite today.

"If I told you, you'd be drowning in spittle by now." Liang Qi heard about the business trip from Xiao Fang.

"How dare you talk to me like that? Believe me or not, I'll have Zhizhou kick you out." Su Anran was extremely dissatisfied with her attitude.

“It’s fine to say such things to me,” Liang Xi said deliberately. “If you say it to other colleagues, they will definitely think you are shameless.”

"Smack!"

Su Anran slapped him across the face.

Liang Qi slapped back, showing no mercy whatsoever: "Slap!"

Su Anran covered her face in disbelief: "You actually dared to hit me! Do you even know what my relationship with Huo Zhizhou is?!"

"Everyone in the department knows about Jiang Ruan's relationship with President Huo." Liang Qi said in a desperate tone, "When he was on a business trip, President Huo admitted in front of Xue Qian and Xiao Fang that Jiang Ruan was his wife, and he even took her away."

“Impossible…” Su Anran began.

Huo Zhizhou would have made it public long ago if he wanted to.

It's impossible to wait until now.

"Why don't you just ask around and find out?" Liang Qi felt resentful towards her, thinking about how she had been harmed by her. "They all know."

"So what if I know?" Su Anran didn't care anymore. "You've messed with me, but I can still get Zhizhou to fire you!"

"Whatever you want." Liang Qi was already living a repressed life, and every time she saw Jiang Ruan next to her, she felt guilty. "Firing her off saves me from paying a huge penalty for breach of contract."

Su Anran felt a surge of anger.

She still didn't ask, but she confirmed it when she got off work that afternoon.

Before Jiang Ruan could even turn off her computer, Huo Zhizhou arrived at Yuan Yi's place and walked towards her workstation in front of everyone.

"Are you done with your work?" Huo Zhizhou was dressed in a well-tailored suit, his fair wrists exposed. "Jiang Yu made a reservation at a restaurant, let's go eat."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

Jiang Ruan simply replied with two words: "Not yet."

Huo Zhizhou pulled out Bai Jian's empty chair: "I'll wait for you."

As he sat down in front of Jiang Ruan, the crowd became even more gossipy.

Even though they were speaking very softly, Jiang Ruan still heard part of it.

"I always thought that Jiang Ruan was the one who initiated the chat between the two of them, but I didn't expect that it was President Huo, who usually seems aloof and unapproachable, who took the initiative to chat."

"Who can disagree? Aloof on the outside, loyal at home—who wouldn't love that kind of persona!"

"They pretended not to know each other before, it's so easy to ship them."

Amidst the whispered gossip, Jiang Ruan shut down her computer. It wasn't that the words had much of an impact on her, but rather that the person sitting next to her had such a strong presence that she couldn't ignore the way he was looking at her.

The moment the computer screen went dark, Huo Zhizhou took her bag with his right hand and held her hand with his left.

A bystander, smiling, said, "See you tomorrow, Jiang Ruan. Take care, Mr. Huo."

Huo Zhizhou nodded slightly and left with Jiang Ruan.

I just got into the elevator.

Su Anran rushed over and blocked the elevator door, her eyes full of accusation as she looked at Huo Zhizhou: "What are you doing? Are you deliberately trying to embarrass me?"

Huo Zhizhou looked at her.

I don't understand what she meant.

"You publicly revealed your relationship with Jiang Ruan at the company, where does that leave me?" Su Anran felt very unhappy at the thought of being labeled a mistress.

"What do you mean by that, Secretary Su?" Huo Zhizhou asked calmly.

Su Anran paused.

Looking back.

Then I saw that the other people in the company were also leaving get off work one after another.

Afraid of being gossiped about, she stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for the basement. Looking at his body, which was very close to Jiang Ruan's, she said, "I need you to take me back."

She overheard him saying he was going to have dinner with Jiang Ruan.

She refused to believe that this wouldn't ruin their relationship.

"Get in the car." Huo Zhizhou said casually as he approached Jiang Yukai's car.

Su Anran: "???"

Su Anran was completely baffled.

Wasn't he trying to reconcile with Jiang Ruan? Now he's ignoring dinner with her and sending her home. Isn't he afraid that Jiang Ruan will never speak to him again?

"Secretary Su!"

"You can take President Huo and Jiang Ruan there."

"Hello, Mr. Huo."

"Secretary Su, are you going home? I can give you a ride on my way."

A group of people walked over, talking one after another.

Su Anran glanced at Jiang Ruan and Huo Zhizhou, who had already gotten into the car, suppressed her emotions, and showed her usual friendly smile: "No need, I'll just take a taxi back."

She refused her colleague without saying much.

At this point, Su Anran knew she couldn't get into Huo Zhizhou's car in front of everyone, so she could only bite the bullet and see them off: "Mr. Huo, Ruan Ruan, take care."

Jiang's assistant stepped on the gas.

The car quickly left the parking lot.

He deliberately parked the car next to the elevator, just in case Su Anran tried to force herself on Ms. Jiang and the BOSS's car and other company personnel saw it, thus dissuading her from doing so.

As it turned out, he was right.
