Chapter 305 Speak human language to human beings, and ghost language to ghosts.

Jiang Ruan was taken aback.

I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly.

She only received the contract at noon, and before she even got home, the news was already common knowledge.

Where is your maternal grandmother?

"Grandma is in the study." Sui Sui's relationship with Jiang An and his friends has improved rapidly recently. "She told me to ignore them and just pretend they don't exist."

Jiang Ruan nodded and led Sui Sui into the house.

The mother could ignore these people because they had wronged her, and that would be the most polite thing to do. But she was different; she wanted to take back her mother's shares, so she had to deal with these people.

“Oh, right.” Sui Sui’s eyes were round and bright. “Grandma told me to tell you that if you don’t want to have any contact with them, just chat with them casually for a bit, don’t take it too seriously.”

"Okay," Jiang Ruan agreed.

Not long after.

She went in with Sui Sui.

Mo Mo took her luggage and went back to her room.

As soon as she entered the living room, the people on the sofa all looked at her. Li Zhishen spoke first: "Ruan Ruan is back."

"Mm." Jiang Ruan nodded slightly.

"This is a gift for you, to celebrate you securing the cooperation." Li Zhishen handed her an exquisitely wrapped box.

Just as Jiang Ruan was about to speak, Li Zhishen spoke first: "You rest for a while, I'll go upstairs and tell your mother you're back."

Ignoring Jiang Ruan's reaction, he placed the gift in her hand and left.

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Doesn't Mom know she's back?

And his behavior of treating this place like his own home, isn't that a bit too familiar?

"Come and sit down." Qin Muchuan greeted her warmly, his face full of a kind smile. "You're really capable, girl. You've secured two projects in just two months. You've really made our family proud."

Jiang Ruan replied politely, "I was lucky."

Qin Muchuan responded very cheerfully: "Luck is also part of strength, not bad."

Jiang Ruan nodded slightly but did not speak.

"What are your plans for the future?" Qin Mo, who was sitting next to me with a serious expression, also spoke up.

"Let's finish the assessment tasks first," Jiang Ruan said in a rather official tone, without going into details. "We'll talk about the rest later."

Qin Mo hummed in agreement.

Qin Muchuan praised her again.

Jiang Ruan knew that all of this was just for show. The more he praised her on the surface, the more dissatisfied he was with her for winning the project.

"By the way," Qin Muchuan suddenly changed the subject, "I heard you spent several days with Huo Zhizhou when you went to Jingzhou. Did you two make up?"

"Returning the favor." Jiang Ruan summarized it simply in three words.

Qin Muchuan pretended not to understand: "What favor?"

Jiang Ruan smiled distantly and said nothing.

Anyone with a discerning eye would know that this is not the time to ask further questions, and Qin Muchuan, playing the role of a kind uncle, naturally understood this as well.

"If you don't want to talk about it, your uncle won't ask." His topic hadn't strayed from Huo Zhizhou yet. "But your uncle is still quite sorry about your divorce. If possible, I would prefer you two to reconcile."

Jiang Ruan remained polite throughout: "Really?"

"Of course." Qin Muchuan never faltered in his outward appearance. "After your mother hands over the shares to you in a while, it's hard to guarantee that some people won't have any ulterior motives. With Huo Zhizhou around, we can feel more at ease."

This time, Jiang Ruan didn't tell him that she could do it herself.

Instead, he earnestly made up a story: "I will try my best to fulfill my uncle's wish."

Qin Muchuan paused.

His mind went blank for a moment: "Huh?"

"I'll talk to Huo Zhizhou in a while and see if he's willing to remarry." After spending some time in the business world, Jiang Ruan had learned the skill of talking nonsense with a straight face.

Qin Muchuan paused in his tea-drinking motion.

His mind was full of questions.

So much so that what came out of her mouth was a blank: "Didn't you just get divorced?"

Jiang Ruan: "Yes."

Qin Muchuan: "Has the reason for the divorce been resolved?"

“Those reasons are nothing compared to the future of the Qin family,” Jiang Ruan said. “I am willing to sacrifice my own interests and work with Huo Zhizhou to strengthen the Qin family.”

Qin Muchuan: "..."

Qin Muchuan started cursing in his heart.

However, since the image of a good uncle had already been established, he couldn't easily turn his back on him.

"Marriage is not a game; you should think it over carefully." He then changed the subject, earnestly saying, "Compared to the future of the Qin family, your happiness is more important to your uncle."

Jiang Ruan: "Since you've considered my situation so much, I can't abandon the future of the Qin family for my own selfish reasons."

Qin Muchuan: "..."

Qin Muchuan glanced at Qin Mo.

What did he talk about with Jiang Ruan at the beginning?

How did this get involved with the Qin family's future?

"Uncle, if there's nothing else, I'll excuse myself for a moment." Jiang Ruan stood up, her tone polite yet distant. "I haven't told Mom I've been back for a while yet."

Qin Muchuan: "Go."

Jiang Ruan nodded slightly and left.

Watching her walk upstairs, Qin Muchuan frowned slightly and chatted with Qin Mo beside him: "Don't you think Jiang Ruan is a little different from when we first met?"

Qin Mo pretended not to understand, "Huh?"

"She's not as straightforward as Qin An now; she's got a bit of Li Zhishen's shamelessness in her." Qin Muchuan said, sharing his thoughts.

"It's alright." Qin Mo's assessment was quite fair. "People in this circle don't all speak one way to one person and another way to another."

Qin Muchuan's eyes darkened.

How dare you talk like that, you brat!

Qin Mo remained expressionless, his demeanor still cold and aloof.

After going upstairs, Jiang Ruan went straight to the study. Before she even entered, she saw Li Zhishen standing quietly next to her mother's desk, acting as her "assistant".

Jiang Ruan: "?"

What's going on?

When did Mom become so tolerant of Li Zhishen?

"An'an, our daughter is here," Li Zhishen quickly reported as he saw Jiang Ruan standing at the door.

Jiang An looked up.

Upon seeing Jiang Ruan, he immediately put down what he was doing, stood up, and went to her side to show his concern, also asking how she was handling things.

"I brushed it off," Jiang Ruan replied, her gaze involuntarily shifting between her and Li Zhishen before she asked softly, "Have you and Mr. Li made up?"

When Chairman Li mentioned our daughter just now, Mom didn't refute him.

This progress exceeded her expectations.

What happened between the two of them while she was away?

Jiang An looked at Li Zhishen, who tactfully said, "You two chat first, I'll go downstairs to greet the guests."

Jiang Ruan: "???"

Jiang Ruan's statement was truly puzzling.

What's going on?!

“They haven’t made up.” Jiang An closed the study door and briefly explained the situation to her. “He wants to do anything to atone for his past sins, and I won’t stop him.”

Ever since Li Zhishen learned the truth about everything from Old Master Li, his attitude has changed drastically, and he has started to relentlessly pursue her.

At first, she treated him coldly as before, hoping that he would feel guilty and leave on his own initiative, just like before. But he started to act shamelessly, constantly listing his faults and begging for forgiveness.

After a while, they met again.

Even after she used all her tricks, he still wouldn't leave.

He claimed that he would work like a slave to atone for his past sins until she was willing to forgive him.

She said at the time: There will never be a day when I can be forgiven.

Li Zhishen replied without hesitation: "Then I'll redeem you in the next life. I'll be content to stay by your side as your servant in this life."

She was too lazy to argue with him anymore. Anyway, she had completely let go of him now. She wouldn't stop him from being a free slave if he wanted to. If the outside world found out, it wouldn't be her who would be embarrassed.

Thinking this way, I let him be.
