Chapter 443 Meeting Jiang Ruan
Mo Mo relayed Jiang Ruan's message to Huo Zhizhou and the other two in a different way. Throughout the entire process, he remained calm, spoke in a steady tone, and said in a serious manner: "Our boss is not here. Please leave."
Huo Zhizhou: "?"
Young Master Lu and Su Anran: "?"
They both looked outside.
The meaning was clear: when they came in to register, the receptionist said that their boss was in a meeting and asked them to sit in the meeting room for a while.
"Any other questions?" Mo Mo asked.
"Is it that you're not here, or that you don't want to see us?" Su Anran spoke first, her tone much calmer than it had been a few months ago.
Mo Mo is a straightforward person. He said the most infuriating thing in the most plain words: "If I have to give you the truth, it is that the boss feels nauseous and vomits when he sees the three of you. For the sake of his physical and mental health, he refuses to see you."
“We just wanted to talk to her about something trivial,” Lu Ershao said.
Mo Mo: "Oh."
Young Master Lu: "..."
Su Anran glanced at Huo Zhizhou, who had remained silent.
After much deliberation, he walked past Mo Mo and headed out, making it clear that he was determined to see Jiang Ruan today no matter what.
"Where is Ms. Su going?" Mo Mo stopped her.
Su Anran casually made up an excuse: "The restroom."
Mo Mo: "Lying."
Su Anran: "?"
Mo Mo said very seriously, "The look in your eyes just now clearly indicated that you were going to find my boss."
Su Anran stared at him.
Only then did he realize that this handsome man was Jiang Ruan's highly skilled bodyguard.
"I'm going to find her," Su Anran admitted, taking two steps towards him. "Do you dare stop me?"
As they were talking.
She deliberately pressed her body against Mo Mo's arm.
A normal person would instinctively move their hand away from her if they saw her doing this, and Jiang Ruan, the bodyguard, would probably be no exception.
Mo Mo did move away slightly, and said to a corner, "You handle this."
Su Anran: "?"
Tang Bai appeared like a ghost: "Vegetables."
Mo Mo: "No, it's too powerful. I'm afraid I'll break her thin arms and legs if I touch her."
"It's not even a dish yet." Tang Bai said as he walked towards the reception room, his nonchalant demeanor causing Su Anran to subconsciously take a few steps back.
He glanced around the reception room.
From Su Anran to Lu Ershao, the story finally settled on Huo Zhizhou, who remained as handsome as ever.
He pulled up a chair, crossed his legs, and blurted out a sarcastic remark: "Long time no see, ex-husband."
"Are you Jiang Ruan's?" Huo Zhizhou left the rest of the question to him.
Tang Bai said deliberately, "Boyfriend."
Everyone: "???"
Mo Mo looked at him.
Considering that he was angry with his ex-husband, I didn't expose him.
"The male bodyguard is not bad." Huo Zhizhou's hand rested naturally on the table, his thin lips parted slightly, his tone slightly raised, and his whole body exuded an air of nonchalance.
This person is dressed exactly the same as the one from before.
It can't be Jiang Ruan's boyfriend.
"Being a male bodyguard is his side job; being a male driver is his main job." Mo Mo spoke up at the right time, exposing the truth while secretly cooperating with Tang Bai, whispering in his ear, "Have you forgotten that your relationship with the boss cannot be exposed in the company? Medical Health does not allow office romances."
"They're not company employees, what's there to be afraid of?" Tang Bai said frankly.
Mo Mo thought for a moment and felt that it made sense.
After this, Huo Zhizhou's gaze towards Tang Bai deepened.
"Was coming here your idea, or theirs?" Tang Bai asked Huo Zhizhou.
Huo Zhizhou: "What I mean is, I want to see her."
Tang Bai: "Just to see?"
Huo Zhizhou: "I'd like to talk to her some more."
Tang Bai looked at Su Anran: "And this one?"
“They say she’s my girlfriend.” Huo Zhizhou started chatting with him like this, his tone calm and composed, speaking as fearlessly as ever, “but I don’t think so.”
Tang Bai smiled.
Should we say the ex-husband has some conscience, or that he's just unlucky?
“Zhizhou…” Su Anran quickly spoke up.
She hadn't forgotten what Huo Sinian had told her.
Having finally escaped the lawsuit and made a deal with Huo Sinian, she couldn't afford to fail again.
Otherwise, her parents would still pester her.
Her days will plunge her back into hell.
"Whether it is or not is not important." Tang Bai said deliberately. Just thinking about how Jiang Ruan mustered up the courage to go to him last time, only to be ruthlessly rejected by him, made him resent his ex-husband.
Huo Zhizhou looked at him and asked, "What do you mean?"
"A large part of the reason you divorced Jiang Ruan is because of your girlfriend." Tang Bai deliberately emphasized the last three words.
Huo Zhizhou frowned slightly.
I don't understand what he said.
"In other words, you want to keep the red flag flying at home while having colorful flags fluttering outside." Tang Bai had worked by Jiang Ruan's side for so long and knew about the past. "You want both."
Huo Zhizhou didn't believe it and subconsciously looked at the more honest Mo Mo.
The latter simply replied with one word: "Yes."
"I want to see her." Huo Zhizhou didn't believe them immediately. Compared to the people in front of him, he wanted to see Jiang Ruan, whom they were talking about, and hear what she had to say.
Tang Bai: "She doesn't want to see you."
The two remained locked in a stalemate.
The atmosphere became heavy.
"Let's go to her house and wait," Young Master Lu said promptly. "She probably needs time to adjust."
Huo Zhizhou: "Didn't you say you'd agreed with her?"
Young Master Lu: "..."
Tang Bai gestured for them to leave: "Please."
Young Master Lu patted him on the shoulder.
Let him calm down.
"Give me her contact information." Huo Zhizhou looked at Tang Bai and Mo Mo.
Their gazes fell on Young Master Lu and Su Anran, and they said in unison, "They have it."
Young Master Lu sighed silently to himself.
It was as if he had given in: "Let's go, I'll give it to you downstairs."
Huo Zhizhou didn't say anything more, got up and left the reception room with them.
Mo Mo and Tang Bai followed behind.
Just as he stepped out of the medical rehabilitation center, Huo Zhizhou suddenly turned back, heading straight for the medical rehabilitation work area.
His idea was simple.
If you come, you have to see them.
No matter what they say, he has to hear Jiang Ruan's words.
"Ex-husband, you're really..." Tang Bai and Mo Mo quickly stopped him at the door. He was only halfway through his sentence when Jiang Ruan's voice came from the front desk: "Has the person who just came left?"
Receptionist: "Just left."
Jiang Ruan took out her phone and sent a message to Mo Mo.
Before she could finish typing, the receptionist, who was standing a little to the right, saw the situation at the door and hesitated before saying, "It seems they've come back again?"
Jiang Ruan: "Hmm?"
She took two steps toward the door as she said this.
She held a phone in her hand, wore a light-colored casual suit, and her long, silky hair was casually tied into a bun at the back of her head.
Her features were exquisite, her eyes were clear, and her skin was as white as snow.
When he looked at Tang Bai and the others, his usually calm eyes showed obvious surprise. His gaze followed the direction their hands were blocking and he saw Huo Zhizhou and the others.
She paused.
The calm was restored in just a moment.
"Boss, my ex-husband doesn't play by the rules," Mo Mo said, breaking the awkward silence. "He took a couple of steps and then ran back."
"If you don't leave, I'll call security." Jiang Ruan treated Huo Zhizhou like a stranger, her words cold and distant, and she didn't look at him again after just one glance.
Mo Mo: "Okay."
"Come to my office when you're done. I have something to tell you two." Jiang Ruan said this and then left without lingering at the door.
At that very moment.
Huo Zhizhou, who hadn't uttered a sound since Jiang Ruan appeared, finally spoke. He looked directly at her and uttered two words in a deep voice: "Jiang Ruan."
