Chapter 522 He's lying to you

"No matter how good it is, it's still a share of the Huo Group," Gu Shixi complained. "It's better for me to get it for free than for Huo Sinian!"

Huo Zhizhou poured him a glass of water.

Gu Shixi pressed further, "Why did you suddenly think of giving it to him?"

They fought so fiercely before, but neither of them gave it to anyone.

The result is that the memory is restored.

"You haven't been controlled by him, have you?" Gu Shixi couldn't help but wonder.

"He found out the cause of Shan Mu'an's death." After much consideration, Huo Zhizhou told him, "He told me everything he knew."

Gu Shixi: "Just because of this?"

Huo Zhizhou: "Yes."

Gu Shixi moved his lips, wanting to say something, but ultimately swallowed it all back. He knew that Brother Mu was a knot in his heart, but he never expected that he would sacrifice so much for this knot.

"So what are you planning to do next?" Gu Shixi asked, hesitating to finish his sentence.

Huo Zhizhou asked himself a question.

It turned out he didn't know what to do either.

Looking for Jiang Ruan?

She doesn't want to see him.

Work?

He doesn't need to worry about the other businesses he owns for the time being.

Suddenly, I had a moment of free time amidst all the busyness.

"Does Jiang Ruan know that your memory has been restored?" Gu Shixi asked.

Huo Zhizhou: "You should know."

Gu Shixi: "Then she didn't come looking for you?"

Huo Zhizhou's feelings were complicated.

He made such a definitive statement last time, how could she possibly come looking for him?

"I don't know what you're thinking, or what's making you so indecisive," Gu Shixi advised him. "I only know that no matter what, you have to fight for what you want."

"We'll see," Huo Zhizhou said calmly throughout.

"Still talking?" Gu Shixi couldn't stand seeing him like this. "Jiang Ruan is now the focus of attention for all the young talents in Haicheng. Do you know how many eyes are on her, wanting to be your son's stepfather!"

Huo Zhizhou's hair was jet black.

Of course he knew.

From the day Old Master Qin took care of her, people were already watching. Now that she has become a shareholder of the Qin Group, holding shares worth hundreds of billions, those people will be even less likely to let her go.

“If this drags on any longer, you’re doomed if she really takes a fancy to some young man,” Gu Shixi said.

"Instead of talking about these things, you should think about your own marriage." Huo Zhizhou didn't want to discuss this topic with him and changed the subject without hesitation.

Gu Shixi: "..."

Gu Shixi thought he was out of his mind.

"Whatever!"

"Wait till you see all those men fawning over Jiang Ruan, then you'll see how anxious you get!"

Huo Zhizhou remained silent.

Gu Shixi muttered a few curses and then left.

He didn't leave; instead, he went to the Qin Group.

When he arrived, Jiang Ruan had just gotten off work and was taken aback when she saw him rushing in.

"Do you have time?" Gu Shixi cut straight to the point without beating around the bush. "I have something I'd like to talk to you about."

Jiang Ruan nodded: "Go ahead."

Gu Shixi glanced at Tang Bai and Mo Mo standing behind him, considered for a moment, and then said, "Huo Er's memory has been restored. Did you know that?"

"I know," Jiang Ruan said calmly. "Huo Sinian mentioned it to me."

She just didn't think about it or care.

She devoted all her time to her work.

"That's fine then." Gu Shixi was a little unsure how to talk to her. "I was afraid he didn't tell you and made you worry."

Jiang Ruan didn't respond.

Whether I'm worried or not, there's no need to explain.

"Have you been in contact recently?" Gu Shixi considered it carefully and decided to steer the conversation away from the topic gradually, because Jiang Ruan would definitely not like it if he asked directly.

Jiang Ruan's answer was indifferent: "No."

Gu Shixi feigned surprise: "Not even a little bit?"

Jiang Ruan hummed in agreement.

"Alright." Gu Shixi hesitated, then said, "I won't bother you any longer."

Jiang Ruan nodded slightly.

They left with Tang Bai and the others.

Throughout the entire process, he remained calm and composed, as if he were talking to her about something very ordinary.

"Oh, right!" Gu Shixi suddenly called out to her.

Jiang Ruan paused as she got into the car, looking over with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

Gu Shixi jogged up to her and, after thinking it over, asked her, "If it's alright, could you please send him a message and ask how he is doing?"

"Why?" Jiang Ruan asked.

“Ever since he regained his memories, he hasn’t been in good shape,” Gu Shixi said, half-jokingly. “After arriving in Haicheng, he’s been locking himself in his room day and night, neither eating nor drinking.”

Jiang Ruan paused for a moment.

The words Huo Sinian had said came to mind subconsciously.

“When I went to see him, he didn’t seem very energetic,” Gu Shixi continued. “When you talked to him, he would either answer with a word or two, or he would remain silent without saying a word.”

"Could you ask him what's wrong? He won't listen to me."

Gu Shixi spoke very sincerely.

Jiang Ruan looked at him and gave him her answer almost immediately: "Sorry, you should find someone else."

“But…” Gu Shixi tried to keep her.

“He said himself that I don’t need to interfere in his affairs.” Jiang Ruan’s words were not only for Gu Shixi, but also for herself.

Gu Shixi wanted to say something more.

Jiang Ruan had already asked Tang Bai to drive.

As the car disappeared from sight, Gu Shixi scratched his head.

What exactly did Huo Er say to Jiang Ruan?

They were very concerned about each other before they lost their memories.

Tang Bai glanced at Gu Shixi through the rearview mirror and exposed his little scheme without hesitation: "After going through all this trouble, only the last few sentences are true."

Jiang Ruan: "Mm."

Tang Bai: "Are you going to see your ex-husband?"

Jiang Ruan: "I'm not going."

Jiang Ruan had absolutely no intention of going. She simply told Sui Sui the news when she got home. After all, Huo Zhizhou was Sui Sui's father, and the two had a good relationship.

He has regained his memory, and he should let Sui Sui know.

"It's really restored?" Sui Sui was somewhat surprised.

Jiang Ruan nodded: "Your Uncle Gu said so."

Sui Sui: "Oh."

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Jiang Ruan looked at his face, which was clearly preoccupied, and asked, "Do you want to go see him? If so, I'll have Tang Bai take you there."

"No!" Sui Sui refused without even thinking.

Jiang Ruan remained silent for a while.

Sui Sui then added, "He has to come to us."

“Your Uncle Gu said he hasn’t been doing well lately.” Although Jiang Ruan didn’t like Huo Zhizhou, she wouldn’t interfere with the child’s relationship with him. “He locks himself in his room all day and night, neither eating nor drinking.”

“He’s lying to you,” Sui Sui blurted out.

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Jiang Ruan was slightly surprised: "Why?"

“He said it to you on purpose, hoping you would go to your father.” Sui Sui’s little mind worked quickly. “If your father really didn’t eat, drink, or sleep, Uncle Jiang Yu and the others would have called you long ago.”

Jiang Ruan thought for a moment.

That seems to be true.
