Chapter 269 Huo Zhizhou Meets Jiang Ruan Again

Huo Zhizhou ignored him and walked past him towards the outside.

Assistant Jiang didn't stop him, but turned around and stared at his back, threatening, "If you go for a run, I'll call Miss Jiang and let her know how little you care about your health after the divorce."

Huo Zhizhou stopped in his tracks.

Jiang's assistant broke out in a cold sweat.

He knew that threatening the BOSS was an extremely dangerous thing, but if he didn't do it, he might end up losing his life someday.

"Very free?" Huo Zhizhou's face was unreadable.

"Yes." Assistant Jiang maintained a professional demeanor, but his heart was pounding with nervousness. "You've finished all my work, so I have nothing to do for a while."

Huo Zhizhou's imposing aura remained undiminished: "Fine."

Jiang's assistant became even more uneasy.

What does "行" mean?

"The company doesn't pay wages to people who waste their time," Huo Zhizhou said unhurriedly. "Since you have nothing to do, work with those people to fix the hole you made. I'll come and check it after the holiday."

“Isn’t that their responsibility?” Assistant Jiang never expected this outcome.

“You also bear responsibility for your inadequate supervision,” Huo Zhizhou said.

Assistant Jiang: "..."

Jiang's assistant: "I suddenly find myself busy."

Huo Zhizhou's expression remained unchanged, yet he exuded a strong sense of pressure: "Keep a close eye on things even when you're not busy. Huo Sinian has been making frequent moves lately, so don't let him find an opening."

"Okay," Assistant Jiang agreed, forcing a smile.

Huo Zhizhou hummed in agreement and turned around.

Before the race even started, Assistant Jiang suddenly picked up his phone, put it to his ear, and said in a serious tone, "Ms. Jiang, hello."

The words hadn't even finished being spoken.

Huo Zhizhou snatched the phone from his hand.

When he saw that there was no call being made, Huo Zhizhou's dark eyes became exceptionally dangerous.

Assistant Jiang felt a chill run down his spine, but he still forced himself to speak: "I just don't want you to do anything that will harm your health. You've been sleeping very little these past few days, and sometimes you even stay up all night. Under these circumstances, the chances of sudden death while running are very high."

"Your job is just to be the special assistant to the president of the Huo Group." Huo Zhizhou handed the phone back to him and left without looking back.

Jiang Yu knew he shouldn't meddle, but the boss had treated him extremely well over the years, and he didn't want to see anything happen to him.

Thinking of this.

He called Gu Shixi.

When Gu Shixi arrived, Huo Zhizhou had just finished his morning run and taken a shower. He appeared in the living room without greeting him, and Huo Zhizhou simply asked, "Is there something you need?"

Gu Shixi stared at him.

Full of energy and spirit.

She looked a little tired, but not obviously so.

This seems to be a different person from the one Jiang Yu described.

"It's nothing." He coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment, then, remembering the harsh words he had said earlier, he began to speak sarcastically, "I just came to see how you're doing after your divorce from Jiang Ruan."

Huo Zhizhou picked up his water glass and drank without changing his expression. His seven-tenths dry hair fell across his forehead, making him look noble and abstinent.

Looking at his handsome face, as always, Gu Shixi regretted coming.

He suddenly realized something.

Even though Huo Er and Jiang Ruan are divorced now, as long as he understands the concept of promises, it won't be too difficult for him to get Jiang Ruan's forgiveness.

He's handsome.

He showed a good attitude in admitting his mistakes.

Admit your mistakes and correct them.

rich.

Most importantly, he understands Jiang Ruan's needs in relationships and knows all her insincere words and discrepancies.

If he were a woman, he probably wouldn't be able to resist Huo Er's way of pursuing her.

“I’ve thought about it carefully these past few days.” Gu Shixi decided to try a different approach to communicate with him. “What you said makes sense. People should always hold onto something in life. I’ve decided to learn from you.”

Huo Zhizhou put down his water glass and looked at him as if he were crazy.

“From now on, I will keep my promises,” Gu Shixi said solemnly. “Whatever I say, I will do.”

Huo Zhizhou ignored him.

He turned around and went upstairs to call Sui Sui for dinner.

Gu Shixi took three steps in two to catch up with him: "You don't believe me?"

Huo Zhizhou's attitude remained unchanged: "Whatever you like."

Gu Shixi: "I'm serious!"

"What are you serious about?" Sui Sui opened the door, her round eyes still sleepy.

"Dinner's ready," Huo Zhizhou said.

Sui Sui nodded: "Oh."

Gu Shixi looked at Sui Sui and then at Huo Zhizhou, a series of question marks on his forehead.

Wasn't the little one raised by Jiang Ruan? How did she end up here? Or did Huo Er change his mind and snatch her away? But that doesn't make sense; if he had snatched her back, Sui Sui wouldn't be so good-natured.

The father and son ignored Gu Shixi's questions.

As they sat down to eat breakfast, Huo Zhizhou said unhurriedly, "I'll take you back to Haicheng after you finish eating."

Every year, the action of eating pauses.

"I'm going on a business trip abroad tomorrow and won't be able to take you with me," Huo Zhizhou casually made up an excuse. "When you get back, listen to your mom and grandma, and call us if you need anything."

Sui Sui stared at him for several moments before finally agreeing, "Okay."

"How come I didn't know you were going on a business trip tomorrow?" Gu Shixi interjected.

"It concerns the Huo Group's secrets." Huo Zhizhou's sharp tongue remained as sharp as ever. "How could I let an outsider like you know?"

Gu Shixi: "..."

have to.

It's another case of offering a warm welcome only to be met with a cold shoulder.

After breakfast, Huo Zhizhou sent a message to Jiang Ruan, telling her about Sui Sui's return: "I will have someone take him home, there is no need to pick him up from the airport."

Jiang Ruan was checking the time on her phone when she received the message.

I wanted to ask Sui Sui why she came back so quickly, but then I realized there was no need to ask.

Huo Zhizhou saw that the chat window displayed "The other party is typing" at the top, but no message came after a while, so he added: "[I took him to your villa, and Lin Bei brought him in.]"

Jiang Ruan: [Okay.]

Two messages appeared simultaneously.

Seeing someone who used to be so capable become so cautious, Jiang Ruan felt a mix of emotions.

She didn't explain anything, nor did she tell him he didn't need to be so deliberate. It was better for them to be a little distant, so that those things wouldn't happen again, and she wouldn't have to worry about this and that all the time.

Huo Zhizhou had the exact opposite idea of ​​hers.

Every time he tried to test her, the result was that Jiang Ruan really disliked him.

It was a little past 11 a.m.

He sent Sui Sui to Haicheng.

As they approached the villa where Jiang Ruan and the others were, Huo Zhizhou instructed Sui Sui, who was sitting in the back seat, "Don't tell your mommy that I was in the car too after you get out."

It's rare that Sui Sui didn't disagree: "Mm."

Huo Zhizhou reached out and ruffled his hair.

Sui Sui remained silent and did not speak.

Five minutes later.

The car stopped outside Jiang Ruan's villa.

Lin Bei got out of the car and opened the other door. From the villa's perspective, the interior of the car was not visible.

"Young Master, you've arrived home." Lin Bei spoke as Huo Zhizhou had instructed.

Sui Sui moved his body with his little schoolbag on his back. As he put his foot on the car door, he suddenly turned around and looked at Huo Zhizhou: "Dad."

Huo Zhizhou's expression remained unchanged: "Hmm?"

"Do you love Mommy?" Sui Sui asked.

Huo Zhizhou: "Love."

Every year, she asks again, "How long will this love last?"

Huo Zhizhou: "Always."

"I understand." Sui Sui got out of the car, his innocent little face showing seriousness and understanding. He waved to the car and said, "Goodbye."

Lin Bei watched as Sui Sui ran into the villa's courtyard, then hesitated before saying, "Boss, aren't you going in to say hello to Miss Jiang?"
