Chapter 319 Old Master Li's Purpose

Chapter 319 Old Master Li's Purpose

"I will obey Miss's orders." Tang Bai said, acting like a drama queen.

After returning home that day, Jiang Ruan played with Sui Sui for more than an hour before going to find Jiang An. The two strolled leisurely in the garden. Seeing her serene expression, Jiang An asked her, "Is something on your mind?"

Jiang Ruan nodded.

She composed herself before asking, "Is it not good to doubt someone who is good to you?"

"Friends?" Jiang An asked.

“No,” Jiang Ruan said.

Jiang An considered her contacts during this period and after a while tentatively asked, "Tang Bai and Mo Mo?"

"Is the suspicion obvious?" Jiang Ruan was a conflicted person. On one hand, she felt that the two of them had somewhat complicated identities, but on the other hand, she was afraid that her suspicion would cause them harm.

Jiang An truthfully replied, "It's not obvious."

Jiang Ruan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

"What do you suspect them of?" Jiang An asked. She didn't know what had happened between them, and after returning, she had delegated everything to the children.

Jiang Ruan shared her concerns and discoveries.

It's not that Tang Bai and Mo Mo are bad people, but I just feel that their identities are a little suspicious.

She prefers to do things without any barriers or suspicion.

Five minutes.

After listening to the whole story, Jiang An asked, "You want me to help you investigate?"

Jiang Ruan nodded: "Is that okay?"

Jiang An: "Let's go."

She led Jiang Ruan upstairs.

She has always been a woman of action when it comes to these things.

“Actually, you can let Sui Sui do this.” Jiang An said as he turned on his computer, telling her about Sui Sui’s progress over the past few days. “His skills are now better than the average hacker.”

Jiang Ruan: "?"

That strong?

"Is there anything else you want to tell me?" Jiang An sat in front of the computer, her fingers tapping away.

"Um?"

“You looked at me five times when you came back.”

Jiang Ruan: "..."

So, everyone except her has mind-reading abilities?

After considering for a moment, and after Jiang An began investigating, she briefly mentioned another matter: "After get off work today, Old Master Li called me over and said that if I agreed, Uncle Li would transfer the shares to me."

"What are you thinking?" Jiang An's expression remained unchanged.

“I think there’s something fishy going on here.” Jiang Ruan sat next to her, her mind racing. “You said that Mr. Li is a shrewd man. A shrewd man wouldn’t do something so foolish.”

Jiang An had a slight smile on her lips.

He was very satisfied with the analysis of his beloved daughter.

Jiang Ruan propped her head up with her hand: "But I've been thinking about it all the way here, and I still can't figure out what his purpose is in doing this."

“It’s very simple.” Jiang An had been successful in the business world for so many years and had a thorough understanding of the cutthroat world. “You are worth his investment.”

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Jiang An stated a cruel truth: "To be precise, Huo Zhizhou behind you is worth the risk."

Jiang Ruan suddenly realized.

My mind, which had been foggy, gradually began to clear.

“He doesn’t want the shares of the Li Group to fall into the hands of outsiders after Li Zhishen passes away, nor does he want them to fall into the hands of his younger brother.” Jiang An knew exactly what Old Master Li was thinking. “And you are the most suitable candidate under the circumstances, as you are Li Zhishen’s daughter and have Huo Zhizhou, a business trendsetter, behind you.”

“But I’ve already divorced him,” Jiang Ruan said, though she already understood the situation perfectly.

“Divorce doesn’t mean the end of interests. They saw the gift Huo Zhizhou gave you on your birthday and heard about the property division he gave you when you divorced,” Jiang An said bluntly. “As far as they are concerned, whether you are divorced or not is not important. As long as you take over the Li family, he will naturally help you plan and resolve all troubles behind the scenes.”

Jiang Ruan's heart sank little by little.

She hadn't expected Mr. Li to think so deeply.

"In fact... that's about right." As he said this, Jiang An glanced at her with mixed feelings.

She had some issues with Huo Zhizhou, but she had to admit that he was very persistent with Ruan Ruan in some ways. She hadn't paid much attention to him before, but recently she had clearly felt that there was an extra layer of protection around her home.

When one person wants to be good to another, no one can stop them.

"I understand." Jiang Ruan had figured everything out and her emotions were relatively calm.

"Don't take it too hard." Jiang An didn't want her child to inherit her past; she had the right to choose freely. "Whatever you do, Mom will support you."

Jiang Ruan hummed in agreement.

After chatting for a while, Jiang An told her to go back to her bedroom and wait for the results.

Jiang Ruan didn't ask any more questions. She went to the bedroom and lay down. The moment she came into close contact with the bed, the words her mother had said and the things Huo Zhizhou had done involuntarily came to mind.

Although I hate to admit it, my mother's analysis was correct. Mr. Li wanted to transfer the shares to her because he valued Huo Zhizhou, who was behind her.

Thinking about all this, she took out her phone and opened Huo Zhizhou's message chat box.

She typed a message and sent it to him.

A short, special ringtone sounded, and he received the message while he was taking a shower.

Without any hesitation, he quickly dried his hands, and with his wet hair and foamy body, he picked up his phone to look at it. Jiang Ruan's message caught his eye, which contained the location and time of Sui Sui's birthday.

Huo Zhizhou: [Okay.]

Jiang Ruan paused for a moment.

Reply instantly?

She tried to post something more, but realized there was no need, so she simply turned off the screen and tossed the phone aside.

Huo Zhizhou waited for a while but didn't receive any messages, so he put the phone back. Then the phone rang a few more times, but he ignored them, knowing that they weren't from Jiang Ruan.

Her special notification tone did not sound.

"Ruanruan." A knock came at the door, accompanied by her mother's voice calling her, "The results are in."

Jiang Ruan rolled out of bed and opened the door.

She took the printed documents from Jiang An and exclaimed in confusion when she saw the contents: "This is similar to the documents sent by the security company."

Jiang An: "Mm."

Jiang Ruan: "Are their identities normal?"

“There’s nothing unusual,” Jiang An said, rephrasing his statement. “You can rest assured that you have them with you.”

Jiang Ruan paused.

No abnormalities were found.

Jiang An patted her on the shoulder: "Get some rest."

Jiang Ruan watched her leave, but her words stirred up a few thoughts in her mind.

My mother always answers questions directly. Normally, she would tell her directly that everything is normal, rather than saying that there is nothing wrong.

Tang Bai and Mo Mo...

Thinking about this...

She immediately banished these distracting thoughts.

Regardless of Tang Bai and Mo Mo's identities, her mother said that if there were no abnormalities, it meant she could trust them without worry. Therefore, she didn't need to worry or overthink it.

Meanwhile, on Mo Mo's side...

He came to Tang Bai's room and looked at him with disgust.

"Don't look at me with such affectionate eyes." Tang Bai still had that carefree attitude. "Be careful, or I'll tell the young lady tomorrow that you have improper thoughts about me and she'll fire you."
