Chapter 194 Stubborn Jiang Ruan

Chapter 194 Stubborn Jiang Ruan

Huo Zhizhou frowned slightly.

Si Ning walked to his side and patted him on the shoulder: "While there is still room for maneuver, don't make things too tense. Talk to Jiang Ruan properly and don't always act unilaterally."

"Aren't you also stubbornly going your own way?" Huo Zhizhou retorted.

Si Ning: "?"

Huo Zhizhou looked at her for a while, but ultimately didn't say what was on the tip of his tongue: "It's nothing."

"Think it over carefully yourself." Si Ning didn't think about his implied meaning, only hoping that he would have a proper talk. "I'm going to meet my master first."

Huo Zhizhou cautioned, "Don't say things you shouldn't say."

As Si Ning walked out, she waved to him and said, "It depends on my mood."

When Si Ning arrived at the ward, Jiang Ruan and Su Zhu were chatting with Jiang An about Sui Sui. Seeing the lively atmosphere inside, Si Ning raised her hand and knocked on the door: "I hope I'm not disturbing you?"

Everyone looked at her.

Jiang Ruan recognized him first: "Si Ning?"

Si Ning smiled and asked, "May I come in?"

“Of course.” Jiang Ruan stood up, her eyes soft as she looked at her. “Come in and sit down.”

Si Ning nodded slightly and went inside.

At this moment, she was wearing a very simple white T-shirt and black pants, with a necklace around her neck, and a few strands of her short, wispy hair hanging down at the corners of her eyes. She looked clean, handsome, and refreshing.

She came to the hospital bedside and her gaze fell on Jiang An, who was sitting on it.

He reached out and scratched his temple.

How should I start the conversation?

Should I call him "Master" directly? Or should we gradually introduce ourselves as family?

"Are you Ningning?" Jiang An spoke first, his words carrying a hint of probing.

Si Ning raised her eyes slightly, then walked over confidently with a slight smile at the corners of her eyes: "If you weren't my master, you wouldn't have been able to recognize me even without saying anything in person."

Jiang An: "You sent me photos when I was little."

Si Ning smiled: "Then... Master?"

Although her master told her on the day he retired from the internet that she no longer needed to call her master, she was only her master for nearly ten years.

But in her heart, a teacher for a day is a teacher for life.

Jiang An smiled and said, "Sit down."

"You guys..." Jiang Ruan's mind was a little confused. When Si Ning came to see her last time, didn't he say that her mother only resembled her master? How come she's her master now?

"I'm sorry about what happened last time. Your mother is my mentor." Si Ning was quite frank. "It's just that the situation was special at the time, so I didn't tell you directly."

A look of understanding flashed in Jiang Ruan's eyes.

They didn't ask any further questions.

"Master," Si Ning said, intending to reveal a little about the matter, "Although you chose to retire back then, things are different now. Why don't you pick up your skills again and continue using them?"

Jiang An paused.

He glanced at Jiang Ruan, then agreed, "Okay."

Even though they hadn't been in contact for many years, they had developed a tacit understanding during the ten years they knew each other.

She understood what Si Ning meant.

Afterwards, the two chatted about things from the past and present.

Jiang Ruan left the space for Su Zhu to catch up, while she went outside.

"When did you get to know a dog behind my back without even introducing it to me!" This was Su Zhu's first sentence after they left, her eyes fixed on Jiang Ruan as if she would kill her if she dared to tell a single lie.

Jiang Ruan explained, "She's a girl."

Su Zhu snorted twice: "I wouldn't care if she were a man."

My first impression of her was that she was really handsome, with a clear and sunny kind of handsomeness, but you could tell she was a girl just by listening to her speak. After all, she's the owner of an entertainment company, so she certainly has that kind of skill.

Jiang Ruan said, "You should have seen him before."

Su Zhu: "Impossible."

She would hand over her business card the moment she met her and ask if she was interested in joining her company as a star.

Such a beautiful face! It would be a shame not to go.

“She was there when I married Huo Zhizhou,” Jiang Ruan recalled for her. “She just had a little longer hair back then.”

Su Zhu recalled for a moment.

I don't remember.

At that time, Jiang Ruan was all she could think about.

Logically, she should be happy for her best friend's wedding, but when she saw her friend put on a wedding dress and hold a ceremony hand in hand with Huo Zhizhou, she cried like a coward.

Looking back now, I think I cried back then because I was afraid she wouldn't be doing well.

"Ruan Ruan." Su Zhu's mood suddenly became heavy.

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Jiang Ruan noticed her change in mood: "What's wrong?"

"Why don't you just acknowledge your biological father?" Su Zhu had never met Li Zhishen, but she had heard the name and knew that he was the chairman of the Li Group. "With his help, it will be much easier for you to deal with Huo Zhizhou."

"I don't agree." Jiang Ruan refused without any hesitation.

“You know Huo Zhizhou better than I do,” Su Zhu said, knowing her stubbornness, and explained little by little, “He has so many tricks up his sleeve…”

“If I admit it, what about the grievances my mother suffered at his hands?” Jiang Ruan was stubborn and inflexible. “I don’t know what exactly happened between her and Li Zhishen, but the fact that he made my mother leave Haicheng and come to Jingzhou to marry Jiang Chenren means that he hurt my mother much more than Huo Zhizhou hurt me.”

She just wanted to leave Huo Zhizhou and escape his control.

But Mom chose to leave her hometown and never spoke of the past.

Such damage.

She couldn't bear to think about what her mother had gone through.

“It’s just a matter of recognizing each other, there’s no need to be close. Just use him to help you deal with Huo Zhizhou.” Su Zhu had always known that she was like a bull. “To put it bluntly, you don’t even need to treat him as a person.”

Jiang Ruan lowered her eyes and didn't speak.

Su Zhu continued to comfort her: "He hurt your mother, and Huo Zhizhou hurt you. Wouldn't it be better to let them fight like dogs?"

Jiang Ruan knew, of course, that this wouldn't do her any good.

Judging from their interactions, Li Zhishen's attitude towards her is not bad. As long as she acknowledges him, he will most likely help her deal with Huo Zhizhou, and she can have a future without worry.

But what if we actually did that?

What does it matter how hard my mother worked to come to Jingzhou to give birth to her?

Li Zhishen got a child without doing anything, why?

“I know what you’re thinking.” Su Zhu didn’t want her to be so stubborn, “but sometimes we need to learn to be flexible and there’s no need to be so inflexible.”

“I’m going to accept it. Didn’t Huo Zhizhou’s words when he was talking about the custody of Sui Sui come back to haunt me?” Jiang Ruan’s name is soft, but she is incredibly stubborn. “If I could be more flexible, I could have just let him support Su Anran from the beginning and used his card to spend money all sorts of things.”

She could live a carefree life as "Mrs. Huo".

She has an endless supply of money.

But that's not what she wanted.

"Forget it, I won't try to persuade you anymore." Su Zhu gave up. This wasn't the first time this guy had been so stubborn. "Don't try to tough things out on your own."

Jiang Ruan: "Mm."

The hardest days are over, and she'll be able to get through whatever comes her way from now on.

Not to mention that Mom woke up.

"I wonder where you got your stubborn, headstrong personality from," Su Zhu sighed. "Aunt Jiang doesn't seem like that kind of person either."

The Aunt Jiang she was referring to was currently discussing the same topic with Si Ning.

After Jiang Ruan and Su Zhu left the ward, Si Ning spoke frankly, revealing to Jiang An that Huo Zhizhou did not intend to let Jiang Ruan leave, and also suggested that she could make use of Li Zhishen.

Jiang An's choice was the same as Jiang Ruan's: "No need."
