Chapter 296 Why is this child so stupid?

“You can easily say that when you’re in a comfortable environment.” Su Anran still didn’t like Jiang Ruan, but her tone had changed a lot. “But how can someone like me, who doesn’t even have a choice, save myself?”

Jiang Ruan hadn't spoken yet.

Su Anran continued, "Do you think I haven't thought about finding a good job to escape my parents? It's no use."

"No matter where I go, they can find me accurately. If they really can't find me, they go to the city where I live to report to the police that I got lost while visiting relatives and ask the police to contact me."

"I tried everything, but I couldn't escape."

If she hadn't known she couldn't escape that kind of family, why would she have interfered in Huo Zhizhou and Jiang Ruan's relationship? She hated mistresses, but there was nothing she could do, since the person Jiang Ruan had saved back then was none other than Huo Zhizhou.

“You have a choice,” Jiang Ruan exposed her.

"Really?" Su Anran had no interest in anything.

“If you hadn’t done those things, we would have been friends for life.” Jiang Ruan was telling the truth. “I would have helped you escape that suffocating family and let you shine in your field of expertise.”

Su Anran chuckled softly twice.

Jiang Ruan didn't understand what she was laughing at.

“Impossible.” Su Anran was now extremely honest. “I’ve hated you since the first time we met. I hate your warm family and your indifferent attitude towards many things.”

Jiang Ruan recalled the past.

Weren't they good friends before the conflict erupted?

“I can’t be friends with you. Every moment I’m with you makes me feel the injustice of the world.” Su Anran said everything. “Every time you share something with everyone, I think about why you get things so easily when everyone else has to work so hard to get them.”

"Honestly, you're really lucky," Su Anran said with envy.

Jiang Ruan did not deny it.

When she was young, her mother created a warm and comfortable future for her, and as she grew up, she and Uncle Jiang gave her a lot of warmth. She is a lucky child.

As for Huo Zhizhou and the subsequent events, she simply considered them as the ups and downs of life.

"That's why I didn't want you to have an easy time later." Su Anran repeated her words from before, but with a calm maturity. "I wanted to see you fall from a great height and look pathetic."

Jiang Ruan: "Mm."

Seeing that her face still showed little emotion, Su Anran asked, "Aren't you angry?"

"You've said these words countless times, I'm tired of hearing them," Jiang Ruan said bluntly.

If she gets angry over these things, she'd probably be in the hospital by now.

Su Anran did not speak again.

The two sat in silence.

After a while, Su Anran's gaze fell on Jiang Ruan, who looked more mature and capable than before, and she stated her thoughts directly: "Although I am sorry for what I did to you in the past, I still do not want you to be happy."

"I understand." Jiang Ruan had a good attitude.

Su Anran: "?"

Jiang Ruan met her gaze: "Only those who love me in this world want me to be happy."

Su Anran just stared at her, her heart churning with a mix of emotions.

For a fleeting moment, she wondered if she would be better off than she was now if she followed Jiang Ruan's suggested path. But she immediately dismissed the idea.

Who knows if Jiang Ruan will change her mind later? No matter how nicely she speaks now, it's hard to guarantee that people's hearts won't change. Only by taking control of the path can one feel at ease. That way, whatever the outcome, one will bear it oneself and cannot blame others.

As she was thinking about these things, Jiang Ruan's phone rang.

Upon seeing that it was Su Zhu's father calling, she answered immediately.

"I've arrived at the hospital," Su Bingcheng said quickly, sounding worried. "Where are you guys?"

"Come to the sixth floor of the third inpatient department. I'll meet you at the elevator entrance." Jiang Ruan stood up with her phone in hand, speaking as she walked out, so much so that she didn't notice the complicated look in Su Zhu's eyes.

Three minutes later.

Jiang Ruan ran into Su Bingcheng at the elevator entrance.

He was dressed in a suit, looking like he had just come from a dinner party.

"Where is Su Zhu?" Su Bingcheng asked immediately, his eyes filled with undisguised concern and worry. "What happened to her?"

"Huh?" Jiang Ruan had a big question mark above her head.

Su Bingcheng frowned slightly.

Why is this child so stupid?

Is Su Zhu's condition very serious?

"Su Zhu told you that the person who got into trouble was her?" Jiang Ruan thought for a moment and realized what was going on.

Su Bingcheng paused in his steps: "If it's not her, then who is it?"

The girl on the phone said weakly, "Mr. Su, your precious daughter is in the hospital right now. Would you like to take a look?"

"You'll see once you come with me." Jiang Ruan didn't say much more and led him towards the ward.

Upon seeing that it was Su Anran, a hint of doubt flashed across Su Bingcheng's brows, but his worry vanished in an instant.

After handing the person over to him, Jiang Ruan left the hospital and made a phone call to Su Zhu before getting into her car.

"Did you hand the person over to him?" Su Zhu asked her while playing a game.

"Hmm." Jiang Ruan glanced at the hospital, thinking about the question her uncle had just asked her, "Did you tell your dad you were in an accident?"

“No, I told him his precious daughter had an accident.” Su Zhu’s mind raced. “If I told him Su Anran had an accident, he might not even come over tomorrow morning. For your freedom and peace of mind, just give him up.”

Jiang Ruan said sincerely, "Thank you."

"No need for thanks between us." Su Zhu decisively activated her skill, not delaying her conversation at all. "Why did Su Anran set your number as an emergency contact? Is she out of her mind?"

Jiang Ruan recounted her conversation with Su Anran.

After listening, Su Zhuzhi gave a fair assessment: "It definitely has bubbles."

Jiang Ruan hummed in agreement.

Tonight's events were unexpected; no one anticipated them.

She didn't know what Su Anran and Su Bingcheng talked about at the hospital, nor did she bother to find out. Where Su Anran went after that day and what path she chose were even more unknown.

The next day, when she went to the hospital to see Huo Zhizhou, he asked her about it: "Did Su Anran cause you trouble?"

"You're spying on me?" This was Jiang Ruan's first reaction, and various bad thoughts even arose because of this.

If he starts spying on her, does it mean he no longer wants to keep his promise? If he doesn't keep his promise, won't her life become miserable again?

"Gu Shixi was having dinner at the same restaurant as you and his blind date." Huo Zhizhou lied without batting an eye. "He ran into Su Anran when he went in."

Jiang Ruan breathed a sigh of relief.

Huo Zhizhou said, "I will let Jiang Yu handle this matter, and it will not cause you any more trouble."

"That's for the best." Jiang Ruan didn't want to have anything to do with Su Anran.

No matter how bad her family background was or how miserable her current situation is, it has nothing to do with her.

Occasionally, a little sympathy might arise because we are both women, but this feeling is fleeting and is not even remembered in the years to come.
