Chapter 334 The word "like" is too superficial
Jiang Ruan looked downstairs and said, "They've gone down."
One meal a year.
What he just said...
"Are you going?" Jiang Ruan asked.
"What?" Sui Sui didn't react.
"He went downstairs to talk with your Uncle Mo Mo." Jiang Ruan Chun was worried that if they made a fuss, they would wake up Tang Bai, who loved watching the drama. "I wonder if they'll start fighting."
Sui Sui: "Dad is no match for Uncle Mo Mo."
Even so, Dad lost face.
But Uncle Mo Mo is indeed very capable.
To this day, he has never met anyone more capable than himself.
Jiang Ruan didn't speak.
She wasn't quite sure about Huo Zhizhou's skills; in the five years of their marriage, there had been no need for him to intervene, and even if there were any conflicts, his bodyguards would handle them on their own.
“But he definitely won’t suffer a loss,” Sui Sui immediately added.
Jiang Ruan also agreed with this statement.
Huo Zhizhou is quick-witted; he never uses his weaknesses to counter others' strengths, although she hasn't discovered any weaknesses in him yet.
As Jiang Ruan and Sui Sui had guessed, when Huo Zhizhou and Mo Mo arrived at the garden outside the villa, he took the initiative to speak: "I can tell that you don't like me very much."
Mo Mo: "Yes."
Huo Zhizhou: "When are you leaving?"
Mo Mo: "?"
A rare question mark appeared on Mo Mo's human-machine face.
But the answer came quickly: "I won't leave."
"Then you'll carry your dislike for the rest of your life." Huo Zhizhou said these words without any fear of being beaten. "Regardless of whether Ruan Ruan will remarry me or not, I will stay by her side for the rest of my life."
Mo Mo remained completely calm: "You are no match for me."
Huo Zhizhou readily admitted, "Yes."
Mo Mo: "Even your bodyguards are no match for me."
Huo Zhizhou: "Yes."
Mo Mo: "I'll stop you every time you come."
In his philosophy of life, a good horse doesn't turn back to eat the grass it already grazed, and a boss shouldn't waste time on someone who has hurt her.
The boss still needs to make money to pay her three salaries; she shouldn't let emotions become a stumbling block on her road to success.
"You can stop me ten times if you want." Huo Zhizhou took out his phone, slowly opened a photo, and handed it to him. "But you probably don't want to know about this person's existence or how he's doing now."
Mo Mo casually raised her eyes.
But that one moment froze him in place.
An emotion flickered across the face of the human-machine interface, a hint of longing and tenderness flashing in its eyes.
This was a side of him that neither Jiang Ruan nor Tang Bai had ever seen before.
"Protect Ruan Ruan and don't go against me." Huo Zhizhou put his phone away. "I can give you anything you want."
Mo Mo looked at him.
Huo Zhizhou met his gaze calmly.
After a while.
Mo Mo agreed: "Okay."
His reason for agreeing was simple: Huo Zhizhou's words placed protecting the boss first and not opposing him second, which meant that even if he harmed the boss, Huo Zhizhou could still take action against him.
Huo Zhizhou hummed in agreement.
The two then concluded their conversation.
Mo Mo opened her mouth, wanting to ask something but not knowing what to say.
"Once Ruan Ruan gets the Qin family's shares, I'll tell you everything you want to know." Huo Zhizhou never does anything he's not sure of; everything is prepared in advance. "You can contact me directly if you need anything."
Mo Mo replied, "Okay."
Huo Zhizhou seemed to have thought of something: "Also..."
Mo Mo raised her eyes and resumed her human-machine appearance.
“I know your and Tang Bai’s identities, and I also know why you’re here.” Huo Zhizhou prepared these things after Jiang Ruan sent him the address of Sui Sui’s birthday party. “But I hope you know what you should and shouldn’t say.”
Mo Mo: "I've always known, but Tang Bai didn't."
In other words...
Go and deal with Tang Bai.
Jiang Ruan and Sui Sui watched from a distance. Because they were too far away, they couldn't hear anything. They only saw that the two stood together for a while without fighting or arguing.
"Let's go, we won't fight." Jiang Ruan squeezed Sui Sui's hand.
Sui Sui nodded.
They didn't know what Huo Zhizhou said to Mo Mo, but Jiang Ruan knew that Mo Mo had been bribed by Huo Zhizhou.
The reason was simple: during breakfast, he deliberately placed Huo Zhizhou next to her. In addition, after Huo Zhizhou left, he told her, "Boss, President Huo is a nice guy."
Jiang Ruan: "??"
Didn't they say before that a good horse doesn't eat the grass it has already grazed?
“You can take him as a suitor,” Mo Mo added, “and have him run errands for you.”
"Are suitors just errand runners?" Jiang Ruan pointed out the problem in his words.
Mo Mo: "Yes, it is here with me."
Jiang Ruan: "..."
I was just about to call him a scumbag.
Mo Mo then said, "I hope the person I like will treat me like an errand boy, so I can solve a lot of her problems. It saves her trouble, makes me happy, and is the best of both worlds."
Jiang Ruan's gaze fell on him.
This is the first time I've heard him talk about his personal matters outside of work.
"Do you have someone you like?" Jiang Ruan asked.
"No," Mo Mo answered decisively.
Jiang Ruan: "Really?"
Mo Mo: "Really."
The word "like" is too superficial. I like eating, playing, staying at home, and liking people because they are good-looking, sing well, or are humorous.
This word can be used in too many places, and he doesn't like to use it as a description.
“You and Tang Bai can rest this week.” Jiang Ruan didn’t press further. “Come with me to the Li family’s for dinner next Saturday night. After that, things will be a bit busy again.”
Mo Mo: "Okay."
For the next few days, Jiang Ruan had a lot of free time.
The tasks assigned by the company don't require her to be busy for the time being. She can start planning the rest after the small module is completed next week.
But instead of indulging in food, drink, and entertainment, she continued to absorb knowledge and learn about different social circles.
If we compare what we need to learn to a book, then before accepting the Qin family's test, we only learned the table of contents and the outline of each section. Now, we are filling in the contents of these sections.
Once she fills in all the content, she will have a complete understanding of it.
Time flew by.
Soon it was time to go to the Li family's house for dinner.
Before she left, Jiang An told her, "Those people in the Li family can't say anything nice. If something unpleasant happens during the meal and Li Zhishen doesn't come out to resolve the issue, just leave. Don't give them face."
"Is it okay?" Jiang Ruan asked.
“Sure,” Jiang An reassured her. “You can even have Mo Mo beat the person up before leaving.”
Jiang Ruan's initial worry instantly eased, and she smiled and said, "Okay."
At the same time, she also knew that her mother had probably suffered a lot of grievances with the Li family, otherwise she wouldn't have told her this.
In fact.
Jiang An did encounter some unpleasantness at the time.
But she's the kind of person who never suffers injustice. If anyone makes her unhappy, she'll only make them even more unhappy. To the best of her ability, she'll make them pay double, letting them know that messing with her will end badly.
