Chapter 337 Remarry After You've Had Enough Fun

Old Master Li looked away, avoiding eye contact with him.

DNA testing is essential for the transfer of shares. Whether he wants it or not, it is a necessary step. He can only blame Jiang Ruan for not growing up in the Li family.

"Why hasn't Zhizhou arrived yet?" Old Master Li glanced outside and said unhurriedly, "Ask Ruan'er if she hasn't found suitable clothes."

Li Zhishen did not speak.

While Huo Zhizhou was away, the others started asking questions.

"Patriarch, is there any special significance to Huo Zhizhou's appearance here?"

"What exactly is his relationship with Jiang Ruan?"

"Didn't they get divorced?"

Ultimately, these people are all selfish; once they see Huo Zhizhou, this big fat sheep, they're unwilling to let go.

It's one thing for Li Zhishen and Qin An to pave a bright future for Jiang Ruan, but it's another thing to marry Huo Zhizhou. Compared to the two, they prefer this tangible future.

"Young people these days treat divorce like a game." Old Master Li didn't spell it out explicitly, but his words were suggestive. "Look at how they interact; do they seem like they're getting a divorce?"

The group exchanged glances.

It doesn't seem like it.

They seem more like a young couple who have had a fight.

"Let them play if they want," Old Master Li said casually. "They'll remarry when they're done playing."

Li Zhishen glanced at him.

The principle of prioritizing profit hasn't changed after all these years.

If Ruan Ruan had never had a relationship with Huo Zhizhou, would he have obstructed her every move she wanted to make, just like before?

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Old Master Li completely ignored his gaze. "Did you ask Ruan'er? What did Ruan'er say?"

Li Zhishen: "I didn't ask."

Old Master Li feigned anger: "You..."

Li Zhishen was seething with anger: "People that old would come back without us having to tell them. If they don't come back, it means they have private matters to discuss. Not disturbing them is the most basic sense of boundaries in human relationships."

It was clear that they wanted to use Huo Zhizhou to help Ruan Ruan achieve her goal.

As a result, they kidnapped his daughter right in front of him at the dinner table. No matter how you look at it, this deal was not worth it.

Thinking of this.

He secretly sent Jiang Ruan a message: 【Has Huo Zhizhou changed his clothes yet?】

When Jiang Ruan was reading the message, Huo Zhizhou saw it. A slight smile appeared on his thin lips. He took out his phone, opened Li Zhishen's chat window, and sent a message: "[It seems you know very little about Ruan Ruan.]"

Li Zhishen frowned slightly.

Was he peeking at Soft's phone, or did Soft have the phone in his possession?

[Ruan Ruan doesn't like these kinds of business-like dinners where everyone flatters each other.] Huo Zhizhou typed deliberately, his pace neither hurried nor slow, with a hint of provocation, [You care about her so much, didn't you realize?]

Li Zhishen: "..."

Li Zhishen unconsciously clenched his fist while holding his phone.

What Jiang Ruan didn't know was that while she was figuring out how to respond better, the two of them had already talked for so long.

"Uncle Li asked when we're going back?" She tossed the question to Huo Zhizhou, her gaze sweeping over his still-stained clothes. "Your clothes..."

"Do you want shares in the Li Group?" Huo Zhizhou asked her.

Jiang Ruan paused for a moment.

There's no question of whether I want to or not.

With her current abilities, dealing with the Qin family is already difficult enough; if the Li family's shares were to fall into her hands as well...

"Not immediately refusing means you're somewhat interested, but you're hesitant for some reason." Huo Zhizhou made the decision for her, and naturally took her hand as they stood up. "Let's go back."

Jiang Ruan pulled her hand away from his.

With his hands empty, Huo Zhizhou felt a void in his heart.

"Have you forgotten what you promised when you got divorced?" Jiang Ruan pulled away from him, her face distant and indifferent.

Huo Zhizhou asked, "What?"

Jiang Ruan brought up the old matter again: "Don't interfere in my affairs, and don't appear in front of me."

Huo Zhizhou nodded: "I remember."

Jiang Ruan: "Then why are you still..."

"On the night of Sui Sui's birthday, you updated your promise, changing the conditions to us being strangers." Huo Zhizhou brought up the old matter again. "If you can't remember, I can help you recall."

"That was just something I said casually because I didn't want to be friends with you," Jiang Ruan retorted.

“But what we talked about before was a promise.” Huo Zhizhou’s gaze fell on her face.

Jiang Ruan fell silent.

No wonder he inexplicably said thank you back then.

“Then I’ll change it back now.” She wasn’t one to back down, but in this situation, she had no choice but to. “You should stick to the original version, not interfere in my life, and not appear in front of me.”

Huo Zhizhou: "Things shouldn't happen more than three times."

Jiang Ruan frowned as she looked at him.

Huo Zhizhou met his gaze calmly.

After a while.

Jiang Ruan knew she couldn't persuade him, so she could only say, based on the new version of events, "Your current behavior doesn't seem like something a stranger would do."

"I feel this way about strangers I like." Huo Zhizhou's implication was that this was their first meeting since they grew up.

Jiang Ruan didn't realize: "Then you're quite compassionate."

Huo Zhizhou: "Only you."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

Huo Zhizhou continued, "From childhood to adulthood, it's always been you."

Whether it was when she pulled him out of despair in his youth, or when she caught his eye at a banquet after a fleeting glimpse of him as an adult, she was always the exception and the favorite in his life.

Jiang Ruan did not believe it.

Having gone through a divorce, she has become subconsciously immune to sweet talk.

"Let's go." Huo Zhizhou didn't take her hand this time, knowing she didn't like it. "Let's go back."

Jiang Ruan walked past him.

When they reached the fork in the road, Huo Zhizhou pulled her towards the gate.

Jiang Ruan: "??"

Before she could ask, Huo Zhizhou proactively explained, "If you want shares in the Li Group, then listen to me."

"I didn't greet Mr. Li and Uncle Li," Jiang Ruan said, revealing her thoughts.

“If this were just a family dinner, we should say goodbye.” Huo Zhizhou walked alongside her and said calmly, “But judging from the conversations those people had with me, it has turned into a business dinner.”

Jiang Ruan recalled the details.

That's true.

"Can……"

"Listen to me." Huo Zhizhou's heart was with her. "I will let you get shares in the Li Group."

Jiang Ruan opened her mouth but ultimately remained silent. In this respect, Huo Zhizhou was indeed better than her. Even though she kept learning and seeking advice from others, there was still a big gap between her and Huo Zhizhou.

Her ability to manage medical care and rehabilitation doesn't mean she can outmaneuver the Li family.

Those were all elderly people, each with a deep and calculating mind.

In their presence, no matter how well she pretended, she was practically a blank sheet of paper.

"If anyone from the Li family contacts you these next few days, don't bother them," Huo Zhizhou told her. "Unless they are very sincere in wanting to talk to you, then you should only reluctantly agree."

Jiang Ruan looked at him, went over the words in her mind, and then agreed: "Okay."

Huo Zhizhou hummed in agreement.

The two arrived at the gate of the Li family's old mansion at this moment.

When they came out, the bodyguards at the door exchanged a glance, exchanged a brief greeting, and immediately told the people inside about it.
