Chapter 282 A mental illness requires a mental cure

Jiang Ruan's initial worry eased considerably after hearing this: "What did you do before?"

He is highly skilled in combat, good-looking, and performs his assistant duties in an orderly manner. Medical and rehabilitation work is also a piece of cake for him.

Why would someone who excels in all aspects choose to become a bodyguard?

“A person,” Mo Mo replied.

Jiang Ruan didn't react for a moment: "Huh?"

Mo Mo repeated: "Be a good person."

Jiang Ruan: "Are you no longer acting like a human being?"

"Now I work as a bodyguard, an assistant, and a driver." As Mo Mo spoke, his mind returned to money, and he suddenly changed the subject, calling her "Miss."

Jiang Ruan raised her eyes.

Mo Mo drove very steadily: "Do you want to pay me another driver's salary? I drive pretty well too."

“Okay.” Jiang Ruan was very accommodating to this kind of person, who was almost always willing to help and had a good ability; paying her more was not a problem.

Was the previous answer a deliberate evasion, or was it unintentional?

Mo Mo: "You're such a kind person."

More than forty minutes later.

Mo Mo went with her to a private hospital under the Huo Group.

Jiang Ruan sat in the car for a while before getting out and walking in. With each step she took, her chest tightened uncontrollably at that spot.

When she arrived at the floor where Huo Zhizhou lived alone, she could hear the voices of Huo's parents coming from inside the ward before she even entered.

"Zhizhou, why don't you wake up and come see your mother?"

"It's all Jiang Ruan's fault. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't be like this."

"You're lying here unconscious and she hasn't come to see you. I really don't know how you could have fallen for such a vicious woman!"

“Auntie, what you said is somewhat inappropriate,” Gu Shixi said.

He had a problem with Jiang Ruan being heartless and not even bothering to visit Huo Er, but that didn't mean he could tolerate Huo's mother constantly criticizing her.

Jiang Ruan is wrong.

But she was also quite kind to Huo Er.

"What's wrong with her?" Mrs. Huo lost control of her emotions, her voice trembling with tears. "Am I wrong? Has she come back to see Zhizhou even once since the accident? All she cares about is money!"

Gu Shixi frowned slightly.

Mrs. Huo continued, "Zhizhou used to be so well-behaved and obedient, but ever since he married Jiang Ruan, he hasn't come home and always gives us the cold shoulder..."

"If you want to find fault, you can always find a reason." Gu Shixi couldn't stand it anymore. "What does this have to do with Jiang Ruan?"

“It doesn’t matter where it is?” Mrs. Huo was a little agitated. “If it weren’t for him, Zhizhou would still be a sensible and filial child. Even if he doesn’t like to smile, he would still listen and come home.”

"Isn't it your fault that he became like this?" Gu Shixi rarely spoke so bluntly to his elders.

Huo's mother paused.

I was startled by his sudden aura.

"You killed his best friend, and afterwards you didn't apologize or show any remorse. Instead, you used your adult status to pressure and threaten him." Gu Shixi's eyes reddened as she said this. "If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have divorced Jiang Ruan!"

Mrs. Huo was stunned by what she said.

Mr. Huo's face was somber.

"Huo Er needs to rest. If there's nothing else, please leave." Gu Shixi gave them the order to leave.

"Is this how your father taught you to talk to your elders?" Huo Cheng's face was extremely ugly. Unable to win the argument, he resorted to using his status to intimidate others. "This is my son's hospital room. We, as parents..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Gu Shixi took out a power of attorney.

He handed it to them: "Huo Er said you are not welcome, and I will take full responsibility for everything concerning him."

Huo Cheng's face was contorted with rage, veins bulging!

I never expected Huo Zhizhou to be so ruthless.

"If there's nothing else, you two shouldn't have come." Gu Shixi hadn't swallowed his emotions yet. "Besides making each other feel uncomfortable, there's no real benefit to it."

"Gu Shixi!" Huo Cheng shouted angrily.

Gu Shixi's expression was distant, his attitude was obvious, and he was also emotional about bringing up the old matter.

He walked to the ward door, opened it, and gestured for them to leave: "Please, both of you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Ruan standing outside.

Mr. and Mrs. Huo also came over at that moment.

Their eyes met.

Huo Cheng vented his anger on Jiang Ruan: "How dare you show your face here!"

Jiang Ruan remained calm: "If you can all come, why can't I?"

Huo Cheng angrily retorted, "I really don't know what Huo Zhizhou sees in you."

"A heartless and cruel person," Jiang Ruan retorted calmly, her expression unchanged. "Or perhaps they are cold-hearted and vain."

Gu Shixi: "?"

Gu Shixi's mind went blank for a few seconds.

Is this ginger soft?

"I told you she had bad intentions, now you hear me?" Mother Huo seized the opportunity to start her tantrum.

Huo Cheng's gaze fell on Jiang Ruan with a sense of pressure, and he blurted out, "Did Zhi Zhou transfer all his assets to you?"

Jiang Ruan: "Yes."

Huo Cheng's breath suddenly turned heavy.

That's really true!

He had previously heard that he was handling some kind of property transfer, but he thought people were just talking nonsense.

"If you know what's good for you, return everything." Huo Cheng's eyes were like sharp swords. "Don't force me to do it myself."

"How should we proceed? Like how we forced Huo Zhizhou's friend to his death back then?" Jiang Ruan's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable air of authority. "Or will we employ other methods?"

Huo Cheng's eyes were like those of a hawk.

Jiang Ruan said, "No matter what tricks you use, I'll take them."

Mo Mo ruthlessly exposed him: "You can't receive it."

Jiang Ruan: "?"

The rest of the group: "?"

“Before these conspiracies and schemes can even reach you, Chairman Li and Mr. Qin will take care of them in advance,” Mo Mo said frankly. “They both want your and your wife’s forgiveness and are very proactive in doing so.”

Jiang Ruan: "..."

Upon hearing this, Huo Cheng's expression changed slightly.

He had heard from an old friend that things were quite lively in Haicheng, that the Qin family's granddaughter and Chairman Li's daughter were the same person. At the time, he hadn't paid much attention, but now it seemed that this person really was Jiang Ruan.

"You are..." Huo Cheng only managed to utter two words.

Jiang Ruan spoke to Gu Shixi first: "How is he?"

"She's still unconscious." Gu Shixi looked a little uncomfortable, after all, he had spoken ill of her last night.

"Can I go in and take a look?" Jiang Ruan asked.

Gu Shixi gestured for her to enter, as if to tell her that no matter what her relationship with Huo Zhizhou was, she could move freely wherever Huo Zhizhou was.

Huo Cheng wanted to reprimand her for her rude behavior.

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Shixi said, "I have other matters to attend to, so I won't entertain you any longer. Please leave."

He swiftly closed the door.

The ward fell silent.

Jiang Ruan walked over slowly, and when she saw Huo Zhizhou's closed eyes, her heart was filled with turmoil. He was much thinner than before, and his complexion was very poor. She could clearly feel that his vitality was weakening.

"How long have you been unconscious?" Jiang Ruan asked.

“Three days,” Gu Shixi replied.

When he first fell into a coma, Assistant Jiang brought him to the hospital, assuming it was due to not eating or sleeping well. But they became worried after he hadn't woken up for two days.

Jiang Ruan's gaze fell on that slightly pale face: "What did the doctor say?"

Gu Shixi: "A mental illness requires a mental cure."
