Chapter 217 Su Anran came looking for her

A moment of silence crossed Li Zhishen's mature and composed face. After a while, he stood up and placed a business card on the table: "Contact me anytime if you need anything. The number on this card is always reachable."

Jiang Ruan did not answer.

Li Zhishen is gone.

After watching him walk out of the villa gate, Jiang Ruan sat down next to her mother.

Seeing her somewhat angry face, Jiang An couldn't help but laugh: "I'm not even angry, why are you getting angry?"

"I don't like their behavior of letting time make them forget the hurt." Jiang Ruan spoke up for her.

Jiang An seized on the key phrase: "Them?"

Jiang Ruan pursed her lips.

I don't know if I should say this.

Chairman Li's appearance has already reopened old wounds for Mom once. If the Qin family is brought up again, won't she be even more upset...?

"You ran into the Qin family?" Jiang An asked indifferently, as if they were just unimportant people.

Jiang Ruan hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Jiang An gently patted her head, his eyes filled with tenderness reserved only for her: "Since I've decided to bring you to Haicheng, it means that the past won't affect me. At most, I just won't like you."

"Could you tell me about the past?" Jiang Ruan wanted to know.

"There's nothing to say, it's all just trivial matters." Jiang An really didn't want to bring it up anymore, finding it boring. "If they genuinely care about you, you can choose to accept it."

Jiang Ruan paused for a moment.

Jiang An emphasized: "Really."

Jiang Ruan is very stubborn: "I can't accept it."

“You’re even more stubborn than me.” Jiang An didn’t know if her stubbornness was a good thing or a bad thing. “If you really plan to start a business, this kind of personality is not good.”

"Why?" Jiang Ruan asked.

"In the early stages of starting a business, you need to be humble, articulate, and have a good attitude," Jiang An told her. "If the other party has objections to your project and proposal and berates you mercilessly, can you accept that?"

Jiang Ruan thought for a moment and said, "It depends. If he's right, then yes; if he's wrong, then no."

Jiang An added, "But sometimes there is no right or wrong."

Jiang Ruan was thinking.

She had never officially started her own business since she was a child. Besides Jiang Chenren and her mother, the only people around her were Huo Zhizhou and his circle of friends, as well as Su Zhu and Ye Yanzhi.

"There's no rush. Let's get your divorce sorted out first." Jiang An didn't want her to get too bogged down in it. "I'll take care of the rest for you."

"Okay," Jiang Ruan agreed.

"Next Monday is August 26th." Jiang An remembers her child's birthday very clearly. "Do you want to celebrate at home or should we go out?"

Jiang Ruan paused.

August 26.

The day after her birthday is Huo Zhizhou's birthday.

They usually celebrated on the night of the 26th, but it just so happened that it was his birthday when she celebrated.

"at home."

"OK."

After that matter was discussed, they moved on to other things.

Jiang Ruan gradually recovered from the unpleasant experiences of meeting Old Master Qin and Li Zhishen. She didn't bother to inquire about Huo Zhizhou's situation, completely ignoring him.

Su Anran, on the other hand, called her several times.

After being hung up on and blocked by her repeatedly, she finally stopped.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

Huo Zhizhou hadn't seen Jiang Ruan since their last meeting. With her birthday approaching, he instructed his assistant, Jiang, "Arrange a fireworks display near Ruan Ruan's place the night after tomorrow."

Jiang, Special Assistant: "Okay."

Huo Zhizhou: "Then send her favorite sports car to her garage."

Jiang, Special Assistant: "Okay."

Huo Zhizhou was about to say something when his phone on the cabinet buzzed. He picked it up and saw it was Su Anran. He answered without hesitation, his words as indifferent and aloof as ever: "What is it?"

Given her personality, if she calls at this time, it's highly likely she doesn't want him to spend the 26th with Jiang Ruan.

"Where are you? I have something very important to talk to you about." Su Anran had no choice but to muster up the courage to contact Jiang Ruan after failing to reach him.

Huo Zhizhou: "Haicheng."

Su Anran: "Come back here."

Huo Zhizhou's expression remained unchanged: "I can't come back for the time being. You can tell me anything over the phone."

"Huo Zhizhou, don't forget your promise..." Su Anran wanted to bring this up again.

“There’s no need to bring up promises every time.” Huo Zhizhou’s tone was as usual. “I’m in the hospital, and the doctor won’t let me leave.”

Upon hearing this, Su Anran had no choice but to ask him to book her a plane ticket, and she came over to talk to him.

Huo Zhizhou had her assistant Jiang order it for her.

The matter is settled.

Assistant Jiang's gaze remained fixed on him, hesitating to speak: "BOSS."

Huo Zhizhou's voice was indifferent: "What is it?"

"When you stab yourself, are you also including the possibility that Su Anran might call you back on Miss Jiang's birthday?" Assistant Jiang said, as if it were a tongue twister.

Huo Zhizhou's expression remained unchanged: "You're overthinking it."

Assistant Jiang: "Really not?"

Huo Zhizhou didn't answer again: "Very free?"

The more he acted this way, the more certain Jiang Yu became.

The boss definitely took this into account!

He celebrates his birthday with Miss Jiang every year, but with the unexpected turn of events involving Su Anran this year, he decided to use his skills for multiple purposes.

Guess it or not.

The answer is one you'll never get in your lifetime.

Su Anran arrived that evening and went to the inpatient department according to the address sent to her by Assistant Jiang.

When Jiang Yu saw the message that she had asked him to come out and pick her up to go to the ward, he felt a little uneasy: "Boss, is it okay to let Su Anran know that you are injured?"

"It's nothing." Huo Zhizhou sat on the hospital bed, his complexion looking a bit better than before. "Anyway, I'll be fine soon."

Assistant Jiang: "?"

Do you have some misunderstanding about being discharged from the hospital?

There are still two weeks left!

Despite his inner complaints, he still went out and brought Su Anran in.

Seeing Huo Zhizhou lying in the hospital bed in good spirits and with a normal complexion, Su Anran had a moment of doubt. Was Huo Zhizhou really sick?

"What do you want?" Huo Zhizhou asked her directly.

Su Anran couldn't stand the pressure of his gaze.

My palms were sweating just thinking about what I was about to say.

"Miss Su, please tell me what it is as soon as possible," Assistant Jiang said, his face serious. "The BOSS still needs to undergo a check-up later."

Su Anran looked at Huo Zhizhou, adjusted her mindset, and said, "Haven't you always wanted to use a sum of money to buy back the debt of saving my life?"

Huo Zhizhou: "Yes."

Although I don't know why she brought this up, it's true.

“I agree,” Su Anran blurted out.

Assistant Jiang: "?"

Huo Zhizhou: "?"

Huo Zhizhou's unfathomable gaze fell upon her, filled with inquiry: "Are you sure?"

“I’m sure, but I have a few requirements.” Su Anran spoke with great effort, afraid that Huo Zhizhou would see through her. “As long as you agree, I’ll take the money and leave immediately.”

Huo Zhizhou remained calm and composed: "Go ahead."

Su Anran's heart was pounding uncontrollably; she was incredibly nervous: "First, give me two hundred million."
