Chapter 223 Huo Zhizhou's Professional Demolition

Jiang Ruan suppressed the so-called thorns and reached out to take it: "Thank you."

Old Master Qin finally breathed a sigh of relief. All the way there, he had been wondering what he would do if the girl didn't accept his gifts, since their first meeting and conversation had been quite unpleasant.

Fortunately, we accepted it.

A gentle glint flashed in Jiang An's eyes as he watched this scene from upstairs.

She has a gentle personality like hers, and she can be stubborn about many things, but once she decides to get her hands on something, she has to adjust her mindset from time to time.

Fortunately, she came to a realization.

"Aren't you going to open it and take a look?" Old Master Qin asked tentatively.

Jiang Ruan paused, thinking it wouldn't be appropriate to open the gift in front of so many people, but since the other party had already asked, she had no choice but to open it.

The box is a sandalwood box, and it feels very high-quality.

The moment she opened the lid, Old Master Qin's heart, which had just settled, jumped again: "How is it? Do you like it?"

Jiang Ruan frowned as she looked at the contents inside: "What is this?"

“An office building,” Old Master Qin said casually. “Before coming here, I didn’t know what to give you. After thinking it over, I decided to give you this. That way, you can earn over 100 million a year from rent.”

Jiang Ruan: "..."

Su Zhu: "..."

Grandpa Qin continued, "Although it's not in the city center, that area will definitely develop in the next two years. Whether you sell it or rent it out then is entirely up to you."

"This is too expensive." Jiang Ruan hadn't expected him to be so generous on his first try.

“It’s not valuable at all.” Old Master Qin spoke from the heart, his eyes now showing a hint of emotion. “These are what you deserve.”

It was only because he was foolish and concerned about saving face that he forced An'an away.

Fearing Jiang Ruan would refuse, he immediately changed the subject and looked at Li Zhishen: "You didn't come empty-handed, did you?"

Li Zhishen gave his secretary a wink.

The latter took out several documents from his bag.

“I didn’t know what you liked, so I bought a few jewelry and handbag brands.” Li Zhishen handed her the acquisition documents. “They will send you new products directly, and the company’s profits will be deposited directly into your account.”

Su Zhu's eyes lit up.

Are they all this rich?!

Is this the work of a top-tier wealthy family?!

Jiang Ruan declined: "No need."

The Qin family took the money because they wanted to reclaim what rightfully belonged to her mother, but the Li family… she didn’t want to get too involved.

Old Master Qin felt relieved.

His granddaughter only accepted him.

very nice!

"Are you stupid?" Su Zhu gritted her teeth, knowing that even a second's hesitation would be disrespectful to these things. "These are brands we used to frequent!"

Although its reputation cannot compare to those big brands with hundreds of years of history.

But the design and workmanship are impeccable.

"Under what pretext did Mr. Li send this gift?" Jiang An asked as she came downstairs and walked towards Jiang Ruan.

She appeared.

All eyes turned to that direction.

Old Master Qin's cloudy but spirited eyes were filled with emotion. His lips opened and closed, but he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Li Zhishen's eyes were full of her, and he answered without hesitation: "There's no reason, I just think this child is good and want to contact and get to know her more."

If he says he is the child's father.

This gift will definitely be returned.

"Such a benevolent person." Jiang An had always maintained a very indifferent attitude towards him. "It's a miracle that the Li Group hasn't gone bankrupt."

Li Zhishen: "..."

Jiang An instructed Jiang Ruan, "Take it."

Jiang Ruan hesitated for a moment: "But..."

"Consider it a fine for him bringing people in without permission." Jiang An's words thwarted Li Zhishen's attempt to ease tensions.

Grandpa Qin watched her the whole time.

The last time I saw her was three years ago when I learned of her accident.

It can't be said that he saw her; at that time, he was just waiting outside the hospital and listening to his subordinates tell him about her condition.

He considered going in, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

"An'an..." The name that had been called out in my heart many times was finally uttered at this moment.

Jiang An looked over.

Their eyes met.

She felt no emotion, and simply greeted him as if he were a stranger: "Old Qin."

Old Master Qin's heart sank little by little, knowing that she was still blaming him for what happened back then: "When are you going to bring this child home?"

"Home?" Jiang An asked.

"I know you're still bothered by what happened back then..."

“If you’re here to celebrate Ruan Ruan’s birthday, you’re welcome,” Jiang An interrupted him. She didn’t want to recall or argue about the past. “If there’s anything else involved, then goodbye.”

Old Master Qin swallowed back the words he was about to say and didn't speak again.

Seeing that he remained silent, Jiang An was a little surprised.

She knew how stubborn and easily angered her father was; he would scold her for even the slightest time she talked back.

Based on his past personality, he would definitely think she was ungrateful, that he had already swallowed his pride to talk to her, and yet she was still so ungrateful.

"You two keep chatting," Jiang An said without lingering. "I'll go check on how dinner is going."

For a period of time afterward.

Jiang Ruan and Su Zhu accompanied the two of them the whole time.

Both Li Zhishen and Old Master Qin were eager to build a good relationship with Jiang Ruan, so the conversation never faltered for the next hour. Li Zhishen would ask about her life, and Old Master Qin would ask about her love life.

As they chatted...

The conversation then turned to her marriage with Huo Zhizhou.

"I heard your relationship with Huo Zhizhou isn't going well." Old Master Qin knew less about Jiang Ruan than Li Zhishen did. "How about we get a divorce? Grandpa will introduce you to someone else."

Before Jiang Ruan could answer, a deep and steady voice came first: "Isn't it a bit unethical for Mr. Qin to poach someone's girlfriend?"

Li Zhishen and Old Master Qin looked in the direction of the sound.

Huo Zhizhou led Sui Sui down from upstairs, the two of them looking exactly alike.

Li Zhishen and Old Master Qin couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Is this the child of my daughter/granddaughter?

"Hello, Grandpa Li." Sui Sui greeted him politely, "Hello, Grandpa Qin."

Li Zhishen: "?"

Old Master Qin: "?"

Isn't this naming and generational hierarchy a bit confusing?

When did he become the same generation as this old man/this brat?

“One is the Qin family patriarch, and the other is the chairman of the Li Group.” Huo Zhizhou naturally sat down next to Jiang Ruan. “Why do you have a habit of gossiping behind people’s backs?”

“If you don’t do it, we have something to say.” Li Zhishen was very dissatisfied with this son-in-law.

His little princess.

Is he really capable of being a scumbag?

"Although I haven't looked into it in detail, what you've done to Mom must be countless times worse than what I've done," Huo Zhizhou professionally teased. "So, shouldn't I also have a word with Mom about this?"

Li Zhishen's aura suddenly darkened.

I still can't stand this brat.

Old Master Qin looked over with displeasure. One had cheated on his daughter, and the other had cheated on his granddaughter. Neither of them were good people.

"As for you," Huo Zhizhou met Qin Lao's gaze, "Mom's departure from Haicheng should also be attributed to your efforts."
