Chapter 323 The two continue their tumultuous relationship.

Chapter 323 The two continue their tumultuous relationship.

Gu Shixi gave Jiang's assistant a wink, signaling him to leave with him.

In this kind of chaotic situation between father-in-law and son-in-law, it's best for unrelated people like them to stay away to avoid being accidentally hurt.

“These kinds of things are usually only known to people within the family,” Li Zhishen calmly replied, his composure unwavering. “You and she have already ended your marriage, so you can only be considered outsiders.”

Huo Zhizhou said unhurriedly, "So you knew about it too."

Li Zhishen frowned slightly: "What do you know?"

"The fact that you are Ruanruan's father is something that can't be made public." Huo Zhizhou wasn't afraid of offending anyone at all. "My relationship with her is completely aboveboard."

Li Zhishen ground down his molars.

This former son-in-law is really not a likable person.

Feeling the chaos of this battlefield, Gu Shixi and his assistant Jiang walked even faster.

“You can’t follow Huo Er’s example,” Gu Shixi said to Jiang Yu, who had never seen anyone confront their father-in-law like this before. “You have to respect the elders of the person you like. His way of doing things is unacceptable.”

Jiang's Special Assistant: "I understand."

He's not stupid.

"Jiang Yu." Huo Zhizhou suddenly called out to the two who were about to flee.

Assistant Jiang immediately returned to work mode and looked over, his expression sharp and meticulous: "BOSS."

"Could you ask Ruanruan if it's true that she's acknowledged Chairman Li as her father?" Huo Zhizhou said, looking at Assistant Jiang. "If it is, we should at least send her a gift."

Jiang, Special Assistant: "Okay."

"Wait a minute," Li Zhishen called out to the person.

If this gets back to Ruan Ruan's ears, the one percent chance of her father and daughter recognizing each other might become zero.

Huo Zhizhou, still dressed in the mascot costume, asked, "Does Chairman Li have any instructions?"

“You misspoke just now. It’s not an admission, I am Ruan Ruan’s biological father.” Li Zhishen refused to admit defeat. He walked up to Huo Zhizhou and whispered in his ear, “You’d better think carefully about whether you want your special assistant to ask him.”

Huo Zhizhou remained unmoved: "Why not?"

Li Zhishen threatened in a serious tone: "No one can change the fact that I am Ruan Ruan's father."

Huo Zhizhou awaited the rest of his story.

"If you want to face numerous difficulties on the road to remarriage, then go ahead and oppose me." Li Zhishen laid his cards on the table; he refused to believe he couldn't handle a young man in his twenties.

So what if he's Huo Zhizhou?

So what if it's a business trendsetter?

You have to be obedient in front of your father-in-law.

"You mean Ruan Ruan needs your permission to remarry me?" Huo Zhizhou subtly set a trap for him, yet his tone remained calm and indifferent. "If you don't agree, she can't remarry me?"

Li Zhishen didn't think much of it; he just wanted to intimidate the kid: "Yes."

Huo Zhizhou: "I understand."

Li Zhishen frowned slightly.

They gave up so quickly.

"I'll tell Ruan Ruan later that you don't recognize this father of hers," Huo Zhizhou said. "He's too controlling, wanting to control her life's most important matter without giving anything in return."

Li Zhishen: "???"

Li Zhishen's gaze grew increasingly profound.

It was as if he never expected there to be someone even more shameless and brazen than he was in his youth.

"I'll also remind Mom to choose carefully for the sake of her daughter and her own personal freedom." Huo Zhizhou's voice came from inside the mascot costume, as infuriating as ever.

Li Zhishen: "..."

Li Zhishen's lips curved into a slight smile: "It seems you really don't want to be with Ruan Ruan anymore."

"Instead of worrying about my affairs, you should think about how to get Mom to forgive you and get Ruan Ruan to accept you," Huo Zhizhou reminded him. "Your path to winning back your wife will probably be more difficult than mine."

Although I really don't want to admit it.

But Huo Zhizhou was right.

With more than twenty years of separation, even the strongest feelings fade with time. He could tell that An'an no longer liked him as she used to; she truly regarded him as an insignificant person.

"Let's get back to business." Huo Zhizhou gave him some face and took the initiative to change the subject, "What does your uncle plan to do to Ruanruan and Suisui?"

Li Chengxuan: "..."

Do you remember there was someone here?

All the frustrations he suffered in his life were related to Li Zhishen.

“You can talk to him about this slowly.” Li Zhishen glanced at Li Chengxuan, then patted Huo Zhizhou’s mascot costume. “I’m just acting as an intermediary to relay the message.”

Huo Zhizhou looked over while wearing the mascot costume.

Li Chengxuan said naturally, "Mr. Huo, why are you dressed like this to celebrate your child's birthday?"

"Or should I live with you?" Gu Shixi interjected.

The veins on Li Chengxuan's forehead bulged.

If it weren't Huo Zhizhou on the other side, he would never have let these two leave unharmed.

"I don't know if what Chairman Li just said is true or false," Huo Zhizhou's voice was slightly colder than before, "but I still want to remind you that it's not worth gambling your entire fortune for that little bit of money."

"Of course it's fake." Li Chengxuan was good at putting on a show. "I have no grudge against Jiang Ruan, why would I lay a hand on her?"

He wasn't stupid. Confronting Huo Zhizhou head-on would do him no good. Although this was Haicheng, Huo Zhizhou, who held immense power, could easily do something to him if he wanted to.

He will not reveal his purpose until he is fully prepared.

"That's good." Huo Zhizhou's voice was devoid of emotion. "I'm not as kind as Chairman Li. If I were to take action against someone, not only would that person lose everything, but they wouldn't even have a chance to make a comeback."

“Mr. Li is a sensible man; he should understand things better than I do.”

Li Chengxuan calmly replied, "Understood."

Huo Zhizhou nodded and said, "That's fine then."

Li Chengxuan didn't stay long; after a brief exchange of pleasantries, he left.

Only after his figure disappeared into Sui Sui's birthday banquet did Huo Zhizhou walk back towards Jiang Ruan.

“I’d like to say this,” Gu Shixi had been wanting to get down to business for a long time, “Aren’t you afraid that he’ll really trip you up later because of how you treated your father-in-law? He’s not like Jiang Chenren; he has real skills.”

"It's as if he wouldn't trip me up if I didn't treat him that way." Huo Zhizhou was a sensible person.

Gu Shixi was taken aback.

After realizing what was happening, I understood.

The father-in-law and son-in-law have always disliked each other. One feels that his good wife has been taken by a pig, while the other feels that there is an obstacle on his way to win her back.

“But…” Gu Shixi wanted to say something.

"It's not like he's the only one who knows how to trip someone up," Huo Zhizhou interrupted him, saying calmly, "I can do it too."

After saying this, he left Gu Shixi and Jiang Yu behind. All he could think about was seeing Jiang Ruan. She had said she didn't want him to appear in her sight, but he was wearing a mascot costume, so it was just the appearance of a mascot costume and had nothing to do with him.

When he arrived, Jiang Ruan was chatting with Su Zhu and the others. Suddenly, a shadow fell over her. Jiang Ruan subconsciously turned her head and looked up, only to meet the eyes of the mascot costume.

"You are..." Jiang Ruan didn't recognize him for a moment.

Gu Shixi and Jiang's assistant didn't catch up either.

So much so that you can't tell who's inside just by looking at the costume.

"Little Jiang, come behind me." Ye Yanzhi pulled her back, looking at Huo Zhizhou with more vigilance. "Who knows if he'll pull a knife out of his pocket later."
