Chapter 322 Li Zhishen and Huo Zhizhou Clash

“Huo Zhizhou is different from us.” Qin Muchuan had met him and seen him, and he held a different opinion from Li Chengxuan. “He truly considers Jiang Ruan a part of his life.”

Li Chengxuan chuckled softly: "You mean love?"

Qin Muchuan did not answer.

He knew that if he said it, Li Chengxuan would laugh at him.

This circle prioritizes interests, and most families instill in their children the idea that interests come first, and feelings come second.

"Your older brother saw how much Qin An and Li Zhishen loved you back then." Li Chengxuan simply didn't believe that someone of Huo Zhizhou's status and position could love someone for eternity. "They were in love, right? And what happened?"

Qin Muchuan pursed his lips and did not answer.

They went their separate ways.

One never married, and the other went far away from home.

"Feelings are the most fragile thing in the world." Li Chengxuan stirred the coffee in front of him. "Huo Zhizhou loves Jiang Ruan because he hasn't had enough fun yet. Don't you know what kind of men he is?"

Qin Muchuan was still thinking.

Li Chengxuan added, "Moreover, it's said that Jiang Ruan initiated their divorce, and his continued protection of her is most likely because he wants to win her over and then dump her."

"I heard that Jiang Ruan was taken back to the old house by Grandpa Li for a heart-to-heart talk," Qin Muchuan changed the subject.

Li Chengxuan: "Mm."

Qin Muchuan: "You changed the meeting place to here so that you could see her."

“Li Zhishen and my good brother both plan to give her the shares, so I have to meet my competitor.” Li Chengxuan said casually, as if he didn’t care about Jiang Ruan at all. “Now it seems that I was overthinking it.”

The conversation between the two ended without reaching a conclusion.

Qin Muchuan originally wanted to invite him to join forces to deal with Jiang Ruan and the others, but Li Chengxuan thought he was overthinking it.

Before leaving, Li Chengxuan added, "I can handle Jiang Ruan on my own. I won't force Patriarch Qin because he's a coward."

For once, Qin Muchuan was clear-headed. He wasn't angry at Qin Luofeng's disparaging remarks. Instead, he went back to talk to Qin Luofeng about Huo Zhizhou and Jiang Ruan's relationship. He needed to know who was wrong, him or Li Chengxuan.

Tang Bai saw Li Chengxuan get into his car out of the corner of his eye.

After Jiang Ruan finished talking with the hospital, he told her about it.

Jiang Ruan hummed in agreement.

But today's events have made me more wary.

After that incident, Jiang Ruan was almost done with her own things, and there was nothing much to do for the next week. On Sui Sui's birthday, she gave him the gift she had prepared during the day and also made him a birthday cake by hand.

I took him to his birthday dinner that evening.

The hotel lawn was arranged according to Jiang Ruan's suggestion, and it looked like a dreamy place under the starry sky.

Besides themselves, Su Zhuye, Yan Zhi, Aunt Xu and others also came. Li Zhishen, Old Master Li, Old Master Qin, Qin Jiangye and others also came. The whole birthday banquet was lively and warm.

But to Jiang Ruan's surprise, Li Chengxuan also came.

The moment he appeared with his assistant, Li Zhishen and Old Master Li, who had been exchanging pleasantries with Jiang Ruan, fell silent, and the atmosphere became subtle.

"You take care of Sui Sui and let her play for a while," Li Zhishen told Jiang Ruan. "I'll handle things over there."

Jiang Ruan hadn't spoken yet.

Li Zhishen had already walked towards Li Chengxuan.

He looked at the man in front of him who had opposed him countless times since childhood, and said with a slight part of his thin lips, "What are you doing here, Uncle?"

“Of course I’m here to celebrate your grandson’s birthday.” Li Chengxuan was polite and gentle. On the surface, he seemed distant but courteous. “Since you all plan to give the shares to Jiang Ruan, in a sense, we are also family.”

Li Zhishen raised his eyes, his dark pupils deeper than ever before: "Don't get any funny ideas."

Li Chengxuan: "Hmm?"

Li Zhishen reminded him: "You don't want to repeat the mistakes you made twenty years ago."

Li Chengxuan's smile vanished instantly.

"Don't let the strength and connections you've painstakingly built up be wiped out again." Li Zhishen chatted with him with a calm expression. From a distance, it looked like two close friends catching up. "You know I'm good at things like wiping out assets."

Li Chengxuan's expression gradually returned to normal: "Is that so?"

Li Zhishen said imposingly, "Haven't you experienced it yourself?"

“I’m getting old, so I don’t remember very well,” Li Chengxuan said. “I only know that you can’t be as carefree and unrestrained as you used to be.”

"You know all about it now." Li Zhishen was unusually calm.

“Before, you and Qin An were a perfect match. No matter what I did, you could always find a way to solve it.” Li Chengxuan glanced at Jiang Ruan and Jiang An as he said this. “But things are different now. You have a weakness.”

Li Zhishen knew what he meant: "You mean Ruan Ruan."

“It’s not just Jiang Ruan, it’s Qin An too.” Li Chengxuan didn’t mind being honest with him. “I heard she was in a coma for several years. Is she still as good at fighting as she used to be?”

Li Zhishen replied frankly, "No."

Li Chengxuan: "Then..."

Li Zhishen: "But I could easily beat you up."

Li Chengxuan glanced at him: "You're still as stubborn as ever. Putting Qin An aside, what about Jiang Ruan and that child? How many can you protect all by yourself?"

Just as Li Zhishen was about to get serious and show him what the difference in their abilities truly meant.

Suddenly, a person dressed as a mascot walked towards the lawn. Behind him were Jiang Yu, the special assistant to the president of Huo Group, and Gu Shixi, the president of Gu Group.

Almost instantly.

He guessed that the person inside the heavy mascot costume was Huo Zhizhou.

There was no one else but him who could make Assistant Jiang and Gu Shixi follow behind.

“They don’t need my protection.” Li Zhishen had an idea and gestured with his chin toward Huo Zhizhou. “The guy over there probably doesn’t want me to take his job.”

Li Chengxuan followed the gaze.

He frowned slightly after not seeing any important figures.

who?

"Let's go, I'll introduce you to him." Li Zhishen may be capable, but he's been shameless since he was young. "So that you won't get taken down by someone without even knowing who it is."

Li Chengxuan looked rather unwell.

I've always known that Li Zhishen is infuriating, but I never expected him to still be so annoying at this age.

"Let's chat for a bit." Li Zhishen approached Huo Zhizhou, his unfathomable eyes fixed on the two black eyes on the mascot's large head.

Assistant Jiang: "?"

Gu Shixi: "?"

Gu Shixi asked curiously, "Do you know who this is?"

Li Zhishen glanced at it: "Former son-in-law."

"You recognize him even dressed like that? No wonder you're Chairman Li." Gu Shixi gave him a thumbs up.

"Let me introduce you. This is my uncle, Li Chengxuan. He's unhappy because I plan to give the shares to Ruanruan, and he wants to take action against Ruanruan and Suisui." Li Zhishen didn't play by the rules. "Do you think we should protect them?"

Gu Shixi's special assistant, Li Chengxuan: "??"

A string of question marks appeared on the foreheads of the three people.

Li Zhishen added, "It's okay if you don't want to, I, as your father, am not incapable."

His thinking was simple: let Huo Zhizhou and Li Chengxuan fight like dogs. One was a shameless scumbag, and the other was disgusting trash. Their confrontation would save him two big troubles and also solve a major problem for his daughter.

"Is Chairman Li admitting that his abilities are limited?" Huo Zhizhou's voice came through the mascot costume, sounding somewhat distorted.

Li Zhishen looked over with an imposing gaze.

Huo Zhizhou replied, "Don't worry, I will protect my wife and children."

Li Zhishen: "As the president of the Huo Group, you should have some self-respect. My daughter is currently single, divorced, and has no spouse."

"I've never heard Ruan Ruan mention that she has a father surnamed Li," Huo Zhizhou said calmly and unhurriedly.

Everyone present could see the sharpness in their words.
