Chapter 259 You can't exactly say you were kicked out.

Chapter 259 You can't exactly say you were kicked out.

Huo Zhizhou was taken aback.

Jiang's assistant and Lin Bei secretly gave each other a thumbs up.

As expected of the young master!

"Am I that shameful?" Huo Zhizhou glanced sideways, his usual composure gone. "You need to think about it secretly."

"Isn't that a rhetorical question?" Sui Sui said seriously while sending a message to Jiang Ruan on her children's watch to let her know she was safe. "If you want to be seen by people, I won't be thinking about it in secret."

"Why do you miss me?" Huo Zhizhou asked.

"I want you to have a better life." Sui Sui made no attempt to hide her feelings.

Huo Zhizhou pursed his thin lips into a slight curve.

Along the way, Sui Sui, contrary to her usual self, spoke her true feelings to him. Even Huo Zhizhou, who was good at responding to every move, was a little overwhelmed. Fortunately, these words relieved his pent-up frustration for a moment.

The suppressed spirit is not so tense.

Looking at the increasingly unfamiliar road, Sui Sui turned her head and asked, "Where are we going?"

Huo Zhizhou: "Go home."

Sui Sui: "Ruanyuan doesn't seem to be this way."

Huo Zhizhou pursed his thin lips; he couldn't very well tell him that he had been kicked out by Jiang Ruan.

That's what I was thinking.

A message suddenly appeared on his phone.

It was sent by Jiang Ruan: 【Sui Sui is used to living in Ruanyuan. If it's suitable, we can take him there to live. He has some things to carry. If it's not suitable, we won't force him.】

She refused Jiang's request because she didn't want to get too involved with Huo Zhizhou, but Sui Sui was their child, and she couldn't let the children's lives be affected by the adults' relationship problems.

Huo Zhizhou replied instantly: 【Okay.】

Jiang Ruan did not reply.

After taking the phone, I went with Jiang An to handle the property transfer. Jiang An had too much property, and it would take several months to complete the entire transfer. In the end, we only transferred enough cash and funds to buy back the shares at the original price, and left the rest untouched.

Cash transactions can be completed in one day, but fund transactions take two or three days.

Jiang Ruan took advantage of this opportunity to arrange a meeting between Su Zhu and Ye Yanzhi.

When Su Zhu and Ye Yanzhi saw that she had chosen a private room in a bar, they were both taken aback. They both knew that she didn't like going to bars and nightclubs, so what was this?

Thinking this, Su Zhu asked after entering the private room, "Why did you decide to come here?"

"I want to test my alcohol tolerance." Jiang Ruan was preparing for what was to come. "You two feel more at ease with me around."

"You're not someone who gets drunk after one cup and passed out after three?" Su Zhu vaguely remembered.

"That shouldn't be considered a true alcohol tolerance. When someone you rely on is around, your vigilance decreases, and deep down you allow yourself to get drunk." Jiang Ruan knew herself to some extent.

Huo Zhizhou had asked her to drink at a dinner party earlier.

Even though their relationship was bad at the time, she knew that Huo Zhizhou would not really put her in danger, much less do anything improper to her while she was drunk.

He did things that hurt her, but he always respected her in these matters.

So even if you force yourself to drink, that's still not your true alcohol tolerance.

Su Zhu: "??"

Su Zhu pointed at her and Ye Yanzhi: "Aren't we the people you rely on?"

“It’s different.” Jiang Ruan didn’t know how to explain it, it was just a feeling. “Just treat it like you’re at a bar later, drink as much as you want.”

Su Zhu hadn't tried it before, but she agreed quickly: "Okay!"

In the next hour.

They were just chatting and gossiping normally.

I occasionally drink a cup of ginger.

Considering that she would be attending business dinners soon, she mostly drank the kind of alcohol served at those dinners.

By the third glass, even though she forced herself to stay sober, the alcohol had numbed her nervous system, making her somewhat drunk.

"Are you alright?" Su Zhu knew that she had a low alcohol tolerance, but seeing her unable to drink even such a small amount still left her with mixed feelings.

Jiang Ruan took out her phone, and after confirming that she could accurately open the software and dial the number, she replied, "It's alright."

Another ten minutes or so passed.

Jiang Ruan drank the fourth and fifth cups.

She tried her best to stay upright but couldn't resist the effects of the alcohol. She swayed as she stood up, then plopped back down.

She was truly drunk.

"With such a low alcohol tolerance, you were already passed out before the food even got cold," Su Zhu said with a sigh as she helped her to her feet.

Jiang Ruan mumbled indistinctly, "Then practice more."

Su Zhu smiled gently, with a hint of helplessness in her expression.

She and Ye Yanzhi took her home. The good thing was that she kept herself awake on the way back, and she only lost consciousness completely when she got home and fell into a deep sleep on her bed.

Looking at this scene.

Ye Yanzhi and Su Zhu both felt bad.

"Is it really okay for her to drink like this?" Ye Yanzhi was worried.

Su Zhu gently covered her with a blanket: "How could there be no problem?"

Ye Yanzhi: "Then why aren't you stopping them?"

Su Zhu: "How do we stop them?"

“Didn’t you say Chairman Li is her biological father? Why not have him help her get the shares?” Ye Yanzhi didn’t want Jiang Ruan to suffer. “Or we could help her ourselves.”

"Do you really like Ruan Ruan?" Su Zhu rarely asked him seriously.

Without hesitation, Ye Yanzhi replied, "Of course I like it."

"Then we should respect all her decisions, even if it means hardship and suffering." Su Zhu understood her, so this time she didn't let her have her way or try to persuade her. "All we can do is support her as friends."

Only what you get yourself is reliable.

Lovers, friends, and family members may all experience changes.

After experiencing so much, Ruan Ruan is scared. She doesn't want to rely on others anymore. She wants to support herself.

Ye Yanzhi's brows were furrowed with worry, and after a long while he finally agreed, "Okay."

"You go back first." Su Zhu tucked Jiang Ruan in. "I'll stay here and keep watch tonight."

I just got divorced and broke up with my boyfriend.

He can take charge of things independently immediately.

Too many things weighed on Ruanruan's mind; she was afraid that she would wake up in the middle of the night and not be able to bear it and would cry.

There was a knock on the door, and Jiang An walked in.

Ye Yanzhi and Su Zhu greeted her at the same time: "Aunt Jiang."

"There are empty rooms on the third floor that have been cleaned up. You can go upstairs to sleep. I can take care of things here." Jiang An spoke very gently to people.

Su Zhu said, "It's alright, I'll stay here and keep watch."

“She’ll most likely sleep until tomorrow morning,” Jiang An said. “I’ll give her a bowl of hangover soup later.”

Since she had already said that, Su Zhu and Ye Yanzhi didn't insist on it too much.

Jiang Ruan got up at five or six in the morning the next day. She rubbed her groggy head, got up, took a shower to wake herself up, and when she came downstairs, it was already getting light.

Before we knew it, autumn had arrived.

She took out her phone and took a picture of the sunrise, instinctively wanting to share it with Huo Zhizhou, but the moment she pressed the shutter button, she realized that it was over between them.

With him and Su Anran no longer causing trouble, life suddenly returned to peace.

As a result, his mind became somewhat erratic after sobering up from drinking.

Ding-dong.

Her phone beeped with a message notification; she opened it to find a friend request from Qin Mo.

Up so early?

She clicked "agree".

Qin Mo saw the message from Jiang Ruan as soon as he finished washing up. He was a little surprised that Jiang Ruan woke up so early, but he didn't show it too much. He just sent her a message: "[Do you have time this afternoon? Grandpa said he'd like to invite you back for a meal and to talk about the shares.]"
