Chapter 476 That's really stupid.

Chapter 476 That's really stupid.

"Speak," Huo Zhizhou said simply.

"One seems good but isn't, and the other isn't good either," Lin Feng said, his face very honest.

Huo Zhizhou said unhurriedly, "Let's change the question."

Lin Feng and the others: "Please speak."

"Why did I divorce Jiang Ruan because of Su Anran?" This is the answer he still hasn't received. When he asked this question back then, Gu Shixi was vague, and Si Ning didn't want to pay attention to it.

Lin Feng exchanged glances with Jiang Yu and the others.

The Lin brothers, Lin Feng and Lin Bei, stared intently at Jiang Yu: "You say it."

Jiang Yu: ...

"Is it hard to answer?" Huo Zhizhou asked.

“Because of a promise,” Jiang Yu said. “Su Anran came to you with the debt of saving her life and asked you to take care of her for the rest of her life. You agreed because of your promise and told Miss Jiang about it so that she would accept it.”

A flicker of emotion crossed Huo Zhizhou's eyes: "Just taking care of him?"

Jiang Yu: "He even faked cheating."

Huo Zhizhou: "?"

"To prepare Miss Jiang, you had someone spread false rumors that you and Su Anran spent the night together." Jiang Yu recounted everything that had happened back then. "Miss Jiang couldn't accept it and filed for divorce from you."

Huo Zhizhou rubbed his temples.

What is all this nonsense?

Why is this involving infidelity again?

Explain in more detail.

"It was around the time Su Anran approached you, citing her poor health as an excuse, that she asked you to show her more favoritism," Jiang Yu said, enunciating each word clearly. "And you agreed."

Huo Zhizhou let out a low scoff.

Lin Bei and the others looked over.

The next second.

They heard Huo Zhizhou cursing himself: "How stupid I am."

Even if he saved her life, couldn't he have simply discussed the terms of repaying the debt with Jiang Ruan? Why make such a fuss? What was he thinking?

“There are even dumber ones.” Lin Feng said quickly.

Huo Zhizhou looked over.

Lin Feng couldn't wait to tell him the truth: "You did a lot of things that hurt Miss Jiang because of Su Anran."

Huo Zhizhou did not respond.

Si Ning and the others told him about this.

"It was only in the end that we discovered Su Anran's act of saving our lives was a lie," Lin Feng said. "The real savior was Miss Jiang."

Huo Zhizhou: "?"

Huo Zhizhou was filled with questions. Even someone as deep-thinking as him was taken aback by the news.

How did these several things come together as one?

"Didn't you check?" he asked.

“I checked.” Jiang Yu felt that it was all preordained, “but everything we found matched what Su Anran had said.”

Huo Zhizhou pinched the bridge of his nose.

Now I finally understand why Jiang Ruan hates him so much.

If it were him, he would probably be even more ruthless.

“It’s not too late for you to realize the problem now. Make up for what you did wrong in the past, and maybe Miss Jiang will forgive you one day.” Jiang Yu comforted him. He knew about his past, so he could understand some of what happened back then.

Huo Zhizhou's eyes were deep, his heart churning with a myriad of emotions.

Suddenly.

He thought of the question Gu Shixi had asked him before.

—Huo Er, do you still think promises are important?

"Is there something behind the promise?" These things are indeed absurd, but no matter how much amnesia one suffers, it cannot change a person's character. If he thinks this is stupid, it means he thought there was a problem before, but he had to carry it out for some reason.

Jiang paused for a moment.

Lin Bei and Lin Feng wisely shut up.

Huo Zhizhou noticed something amiss: "Something?"

The three of them had the same thought at the same time: sometimes it's not a good thing for the BOSS to be too smart.

"Yes," Jiang Yu said without hiding anything, "but those things are not suitable for you to know right now, so we cannot disclose them to you."

Huo Zhizhou: "Will it affect my current life?"

Jiang Yu: "Basically not, it will only get better and better."

Huo Zhizhou: "Is it related to my dad?"

Jiang Yu: "..."

Did you guess that accurately?

Despite her thoughts, she quickly replied, "Yes."

"I understand." Huo Zhizhou was somewhat sullen, feeling for the first time that time was passing so slowly.

Silence fell over the living room.

Jiang Yu and the others wisely kept quiet.

Time passed by, bit by bit.

About five minutes later, the sound of a car engine came from outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, Huo Cheng's deep voice rang out from outside the door: "Where is Zhizhou?"

Bodyguard: "Inside is the living room."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Cheng strode into the living room. When he entered and saw Huo Zhizhou sitting with Jiang Yu and the others, his expression suddenly darkened. He immediately asked, "Didn't your brother tell you who they are?"

"I already said it," Huo Zhizhou said calmly.

"Then why are you still..." Huo Cheng blurted out.

"Didn't you need something from me?" Huo Zhizhou interrupted him, his emotions having regained their composure. "What is it?"

Huo Cheng was about to lose his temper again, but thinking of the hard-won improvement in their relationship, he finally held back: "Come with me, I'll talk to you alone."

Huo Zhizhou stood up and left.

The two went upstairs one after the other.

Only after the figure disappeared from their sight did Lin Feng ask, "Won't the BOSS's father say bad things about us?"

Lin Bei: "I've already said that."

Jiang Yu: "Yes."

Lin Feng: "?"

Lin Feng's eyes were clear and pure: "When?"

Lin Bei and Jiang Yu exchanged a glance.

Sometimes being a little slow to react is a good thing.

upstairs.

Once in the study, Huo Cheng adopted the demeanor of a stern father and said earnestly, "They betrayed you just now, how can you not learn your lesson..."

As if realizing there was something wrong with his words, Huo Cheng stopped himself in time.

Huo Zhizhou looked at him quietly.

His father... is quite the actor.

But he didn't quite manage to hide his desire for control and his deep-seated fear.

"Don't associate with them anymore," Huo Cheng concluded. "They're not good for you."

"We'll cut off contact once things are resolved," Huo Zhizhou casually offered as an excuse.

Huo Cheng: "What is it?"

Huo Zhizhou didn't answer but asked in return, "You came to see me just to talk about this?"

"Of course not." Huo Cheng unconsciously followed his words. "Didn't you go to Haicheng to ask Jiang Ruan for custody? Why did you suddenly come back?"

Huo Zhizhou hadn't spoken yet.

Huo Cheng asked again, "Or have you already gotten it?"

"I didn't get it. Jiang Ruan and her family were very assertive, and I couldn't argue with them." Huo Zhizhou said this nonsense with a straight face, yet there wasn't a trace of lying on his face.

Huo Cheng hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

He really wanted to say, "Weren't you the most cunning one before?!"

But I also know that if I say that, I will definitely be suspected.

"Do you want me to come with you?"

"Can you really talk about Jiang Ruan's parents and maternal grandfather?" Huo Zhizhou asked in return.

Huo Cheng paused.

I can't argue with that.

Although he had no direct contact with Li Zhishen, he had still heard about that person's methods.

Furthermore, Qin An, who changed his name to Jiang An, was no pushover either.

"So what do you plan to do?" Huo Cheng asked, somewhat unwilling. "Give up, or try to find a way to continue?"

Huo Zhizhou: "We'll see."

Huo Cheng: "You!"

Huo Zhizhou glanced at him and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll take care of my own affairs first, and then we can discuss custody after everything is resolved."
