Chapter 300 I won't let him take you away.

Chapter 300 I won't let him take you away.

An emotion flashed in Lin Tan's eyes, and her red lips unconsciously tightened.

"Don't worry, I won't let him take you away." Jiang Ruan saw what she was thinking and instructed Mo Mo, who was driving steadily, "Drive faster and try to get there before Huo Sinian arrives."

Mo Mo replied quickly: "Okay."

He stepped on the gas, and the speed increased significantly.

The car was completely silent.

Lin Tan remained unusually quiet after that phone call, sitting there without saying a word, all the way to Ruanyuan.

After getting out of the car, Jiang Ruan wanted to tell the housekeeper not to let Huo Sinian in if he saw him, but thinking that the group of people were probably a little afraid of him, she eventually handed the task over to Mo Mo.

"If Huo Sinian suddenly comes, we can't let him go upstairs."

Mo Mo: "Okay."

Jiang Ruan looked around and continued, "His activity area is limited to the living room. If he wants to see Lin Tan, he should say he'll wait for me to come down."

Mo Mo replied, "Okay."

Jiang Ruan glanced at Lin Tan and said one last thing: "No matter what he asks you, don't answer. Just listen to what I say next."

"Understood." Mo Mo did exactly as she was told.

Jiang Ruan nodded and repeated the conversation to the housekeeper and the others.

Huo Sinian is very clever, just like Huo Zhizhou, he is good at noticing details. If she is not well arranged, he is very likely to find out that what she said in the car was an excuse, and Lin Tan's fake fainting will also be discovered.

She was fine, and he didn't dare to do anything to her.

The important thing is Lin Tan.

"Come with me." Jiang Ruan led Lin Tan upstairs.

Throughout the entire process, Lin Tan kept watching her. She wasn't familiar with Jiang Ruan; the hospital was their first meeting. Before that, her understanding of Jiang Ruan came entirely from Huo Sinian.

Now it seems...

Jiang Ruan is not the canary that Huo Sinian's brother kept, as he claimed.

You can't believe a word a man says.

"You can sleep here tonight." Jiang Ruan led her to the guest room. "There are new clothes in the closet, you can take them to change into. The toiletries are in the closet next to the bathroom."

Lin Tan thought she was so gentle: "Okay."

Jiang Ruan then brought out a set of skincare products for her: "No matter what happens later, you stay in this room."

"What if Huo Sinian..." Lin Tan was a little worried.

“This is Ruanyuan, so in a sense he won’t just wander around,” Jiang Ruan reassured her. “You just need to keep quiet.”

Lin Tan agreed.

After giving her instructions, Jiang Ruan planned to leave.

We need to think of a way to deal with Huo Sinian in advance.

Lin Tan called out to her: "Jiang Ruan."

"Hmm?" Jiang Ruan turned around, her whole demeanor a mix of naivety and mature charm.

"Aren't you curious about my relationship with Huo Sinian?" Lin Tan knew that her actions and the phone call just now had revealed a lot, and with Jiang Ruan's intelligence, it was impossible that she hadn't noticed the abnormality.

“This is your private matter.” Jiang Ruan didn’t like to pry into other people’s privacy. “I won’t ask any more questions.”

Lin Tan pursed her red lips and uttered the two words she had said most often that evening: "Thank you."

Jiang Ruan gestured for her to rest well, then opened the door and went out.

The first time I met Lin Tan, she was wearing a white dress and gave off a quiet and gentle feeling. But today she was dressed more formally, with a confident and decisive air, and her face was beautiful in a way that was quite aggressive.

Huo Sinian arrived just as she closed the door.

He wore a custom-made gray suit and silver-rimmed glasses, his usually gentle and composed face remaining unchanged.

He walked past Mo Mo and asked the butler standing nearby, "Where is Jiang Ruan?"

The butler politely replied, "Miss Jiang is upstairs."

Huo Sinian started walking upstairs, acting as if he owned the place, but Mo Mo quickly stopped him.

Huo Sinian: "?"

Huo Sinian stared at the face he hadn't seen much before.

Before he could speak, Mo Mo said, "Sir, the upstairs is a private space. Isn't it inappropriate for you to trespass without the owner's permission?"

"Do you know who I am?" Huo Sinian asked, his thin lips parting slightly.

"I roughly know." Mo Mo's tone was calm and even, and a sentence came out of her thin lips: "The boss's ex-husband's brother."

Huo Sinian: "?"

The butler and everyone else: "?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment by these words.

"Please take a seat on the sofa," Mo Mo said, each word distinct and serious, her face devoid of any emotion. "I can pass on any message for you."

Huo Sinian stared at him, his eyes behind the glasses exuding a powerful pressure.

Mo Mo is unaffected.

"Did Jiang Ruan bring back a woman?" Huo Sinian lowered his aura, guessing that this person was most likely arranged for Jiang Ruan by Huo Zhizhou.

"This is the boss's personal matter, and I cannot answer it for you." Mo Mo spoke in a very official tone, like a robot. "If you want to know, I can pass on your message."

Huo Sinian's gaze was cold.

Mo Mo asked, "Do you have any other questions?"

Huo Sinian: "..."

Mo Mo: "If there are no problems, please take a seat over there. I will go up and convey your questions."

"That's all." Huo Sinian turned and walked towards the sofa.

Mo Mo said "okay" and started to go upstairs. Before he had taken two steps, a figure passed by him and quickly went upstairs.

Seeing Huo Sinian's impolite behavior, he quickened his pace and rushed up to stop him at the top of the stairs, his attitude becoming serious and solemn: "Mr. Huo, aren't you being a little too impolite?"

"What's wrong?" Jiang Ruan walked over and saw the two of them facing off.

Huo Sinian asked, "Where is Lin Tan?"

Mo Mo complained, "Boss, he was impolite."

Mo Mo wasn't satisfied with just one complaint, so she added, "He agreed to sit on the sofa a second ago, but the next second he tried to go upstairs when I wasn't looking. Rude people are all bad people. Do you need me to kick him out?"

"What's this?" Jiang Ruan asked Huo Sinian.

"How is Lin Tan?" Huo Sinian asked.

“She fainted due to overwork; she’ll be fine after a nap,” Jiang Ruan said, taking a few steps forward. “Let’s go downstairs and talk; let’s not disturb her rest.”

"Just give her to me." Huo Sinian remained as gentle and refined as ever. "No need to trouble you."

Jiang Ruan just stared at him.

He didn't say a word.

Huo Sinian felt uncomfortable with that look.

"Is there a problem?" Huo Sinian asked.

"What is your relationship with Lin Tan?" Jiang Ruan asked this question on purpose. Given Huo Sinian's personality, he would not admit to his relationship with Lin Tan. As long as he did not admit it, she would have a reason not to give Lin Tan to him.

Huo Sinian stared at her through his glasses, his eyes scrutinizing her.

Jiang Ruan met his gaze.

Neither of them would give in.

After a while.

Huo Sinian pushed up his glasses, his tone the same as always: "Didn't you already know?"

Jiang Ruan replied to him using hospital jargon: "Friend?"

"Hmm." Huo Sinian seemed a little out of sorts, but his tone didn't change much. "Can you give it to me now?"

"No." Jiang Ruan refused decisively.
