Chapter 427 Qin Mo Comes Looking Forward

The three of them got out of the elevator and drove home. As soon as they arrived, they saw Qin Mo and Old Master Qin sitting in the living room, chatting.

Jiang Ruan greeted Qin Mo, thinking he might be visiting his grandfather so she didn't disturb him. However, before she could leave, Old Master Qin spoke first: "Ruan Ruan is back. You two chat, I'm going to find An An."

Jiang Ruan was somewhat surprised.

Looking for her?

Qin Mo was very polite: "Please forgive my unauthorized visit."

"We're family, no need for such formalities," Jiang Ruan said, her tone distant and superficial.

"I came here mainly to ask you something." Qin Mo said, taking out his phone, opening an interface and handing it to her. "Is this email address Huo Zhizhou's private email address?"

Jiang Ruan took it, and after seeing the account number on it, nodded: "Yes."

Although she rarely got involved in his affairs and he didn't let her manage them much, she still knew that he had several accounts.

Qin Mo's eyes darkened little by little.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Ruan could only ask, unaware of the situation. The interface she had just seen showed that Huo Zhizhou had sent her an email at 8:00 AM sharp, but the content was not visible.

"What kind of person is Huo Zhizhou?" Qin Mo asked directly, "Would he play pranks or use fake news to deceive people?"

Jiang Ruan replied, "No."

Although Huo Zhizhou is a man of deep thoughts, he is a trustworthy person.

He is reliable as a business partner, always ready to help as a friend, and gentle and caring as a father.

“He sent me an email this morning, exactly eight o’clock, not a minute more or a second less.” Qin Mo wouldn’t act rashly; he always verified things first. “The content is related to Lin Tan.”

Jiang Ruan was taken aback.

Almost instantly, a guess formed in her mind.

Huo Zhizhou was most likely tricked by Huo Sinian. This email was a move he made to distract Huo Sinian by having Qin Mo contact Lin Tan.

"If you know anything, please tell me." Qin Mo said earnestly.

Jiang Ruan didn't rush to talk about Lin Tan's matter: "Show me the email first."

In her previous conversation with Lin Tan, Lin Tan did not want Qin Mo to know about her affairs, and even less did she want to have anything to do with Qin Mo.

If Huo Zhizhou's email hadn't mentioned Lin Tan's relationship with Huo Sinian, it wouldn't have been appropriate for her to tell Qin Mo without her permission. But if she had, she could have told Qin Mo later.

Qin Mo didn't hesitate and opened it for her to see.

The content is simple, the gist of which is: Huo Sinian uses Lin Tan's sister as leverage to keep Lin Tan by his side.

"I want to know if the contents of this email are true or false." Qin Mo's voice was deep, and his handsome face with its sharp features was even colder and more distant than before. "Is Lin Tan really suffering terribly?"

"What's your relationship with her?" Jiang Ruan asked.

Qin Mo: "I like her."

Jiang Ruan paused.

She hadn't expected him to be so direct.

My impression of Qin Mo was that he was taciturn and had an icy demeanor that kept people at a distance.

"She is very important to me." As if he could see that Jiang Ruan was really thinking about Lin Tan, Qin Mo told her everything, "I haven't contacted her all these years because she said she didn't want to see me again."

Jiang Ruan recalled her time together at Ruanyuan.

When Lin Tan spoke of Lin Tan, he was full of praise. He didn't seem like the person Qin Mo described who didn't want to see him. Rather, he was deliberately keeping his distance for some reason or some event.

“Lin Tan is indeed not doing well,” Jiang Ruan said, emphasizing the key point. “What Huo Zhizhou told you is basically true.”

"Thank you." Qin Mo stood up after hearing this.

Jiang Ruan called out to him, "Wait a minute."

Qin Mo looked at her.

“Lin Tan was really badly manipulated by Huo Sinian.” Jiang Ruan felt sorry for Lin Tan when she thought of what Lin Tan had said before. “When you see her, try not to make her guess what you’re thinking. If you like her, just tell her directly.”

It's clearly Huo Sinian who's the one who can't be brought into the light.

However, he took advantage of his status to claim that Lin Tan was being kept by him, to the point that over time Lin Tan also began to believe that she was being kept.

Subtle, insidious influences are truly terrifying.

"Okay." Qin Mo agreed and left.

He had barely left when Mr. Qin returned.

Seeing the lingering emotion on Jiang Ruan's face, he asked with a hint of curiosity, "What does Qin Mo want with you?"

"It's nothing." Jiang Ruan didn't tell the old man what had happened and naturally changed the subject. "Didn't you go to look for my mother? She's not here?"

"She's here." Old Master Qin's expression was a little unpleasant.

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Old Master Qin glanced outside with annoyance: "Li Zhishen is here too!"

Jiang Ruan: "..."

"If I weren't as shameless as him, would he have the chance to cling to An'an like that?" Old Master Qin said coldly, clearly having a lot of opinions about Li Zhishen.

Jiang Ruan smiled, seeing through him: "You're deliberately letting him win, aren't you?"

Old Master Qin pursed his lips.

After struggling and hesitating for a while, she still didn't act arrogantly: "Part of the reason they broke up was because of me. If I had agreed to them being together in the first place, things might not have turned out this way."

"Didn't you agree later?" Jiang Ruan knew quite a bit about him during the time she had spent together. "It's just that he didn't trust his mother enough."

When the matter was brought up, Old Master Qin was filled with mixed emotions.

No matter how many times he apologizes or says it, he still feels that he shouldn't have been so stubborn about the past, and he shouldn't have listened to others and driven An'an away.

"You've done what you needed to do regarding this relationship," Jiang Ruan said.

The Li family and the Qin family were never on good terms, so it was normal for the elders to want to stop the children from the two families from being together. Compared to Old Master Li, Grandpa had already done a great job. His only mistake was choosing to drive his mother away from his career.

If he had kept his mother and let her manage the company...

He really would be a sensible but somewhat arrogant old man.

Old Master Qin sighed twice.

Jiang Ruan chatted with the elderly downstairs for a while before going upstairs to take care of her business. Before turning on her computer, she thought about Lin Tan and called her.

Because she was being watched by Huo Sinian's men, she called him using her work number.

The call was answered quickly, and it was Lin Tan's voice: "Hello, who is this?"

Jiang Ruan coughed lightly: "Ahem."

She didn't know if Lin Tan was available to answer the phone right now. If not, she could just hang up on the unknown number. Her assistant and the like wouldn't know it was her.

"Jiang Ruan?" Lin Tan recognized the voice.

Jiang Ruan coughed again.

Lin Tan glanced at her busy assistant in the distance, her expression softening as she said, "I'm available to take this call now. What is it?"

"Qin Mo is coming to see you," Jiang Ruan said, setting the stage for her.

Lin Tan was startled.

I subconsciously tightened my grip on the phone.

"Huo Zhizhou sent him an email this morning, telling him about your situation." Jiang Ruan explained the process to her in order to prepare her mentally. "Qin Mo just came to me to confirm."

Lin Tan remained silent for a while, then her voice was several octaves lower than before: "What did you say to him?"

Jiang Ruan told her about her conversation with Qin Mo, except for the fact that Qin Mo said he liked her.

She felt that it was more direct for people to feel the emotions and feelings expressed by the person in question.
