Chapter 552 Apology

In no mood.

This was Li Zhishen's first thought.

"What did Huo Zhizhou and Ruan Ruan talk about yesterday?" Jiang An rarely asked him a question.

"I don't know." Li Zhishen was telling the truth. "I only saw him come out of Ruan Ruan's study with two handprints on his head."

Jiang An paused for a moment.

Ruan Ruan rarely uses her hands.

Unless you really piss her off.

What exactly did Huo Zhizhou do?

What do you think of him?

“Not good at all.” Li Zhishen blurted out, with a hint of arrogance, “No father-in-law finds any son-in-law pleasing to the eye.”

Upon hearing this...

Jiang An didn't want to talk to him.

He stood up and left.

"What's wrong?" Li Zhishen followed.

“If I hear that kind of talk again, you can stay outside like him.” Jiang An wouldn’t care about him, but here she could kick people out if she didn’t like what she heard, “They’ll never be able to come in.”

Li Zhishen's heart skipped a beat.

He quickly followed behind her, saying, "I was just being stubborn; I can't really comment on that kid."

Jiang An didn't respond.

Keep moving forward.

"To say he's good is that he made that soft girl angry again." Li Zhishen said seriously. "To say he's bad is that he's very considerate of Sui Sui's affairs. Last night, afraid that Sui Sui would see the slap mark on his face, he even asked if he was downstairs."

"Yes." Jiang An knew.

Before she fell into a coma, Huo Zhizhou was a very good person. He was a good husband to Ruan Ruan, a good father to Sui Sui, and a good son-in-law to her. He was almost flawless.

One of the main reasons why Ruan Ruan wasn't as ruthless as she was to Li Zhishen was that Huo Zhizhou had been very, very good to her and had been extremely kind to Sui Sui as well.

but--

He's still a scumbag.

"Do you think I should stand up for Ruan Ruan?" Li Zhishen probed Jiang An's attitude.

Jiang An stopped in her tracks.

Li Zhishen stopped as well.

Just when he thought Jiang An was about to offer some advice, she turned around, glanced at his feet, and then looked up at his face.

Even though she didn't say a word, Li Zhishen understood immediately: "I'm not following you, I'm just going to see Old Master Qin on the way."

Jiang An didn't speak, but his eyes were quite intimidating.

It's as if it's saying that this road is in the same direction as where the old man is?

"I'll leave now." Li Zhishen knew that staying any longer would upset her, so he said it very consciously.

He left after saying that.

He disappeared from her sight.

After he left, Jiang An thought about what he had said and became a little worried about Ruan Ruan.

But she didn't tell me, which clearly meant she didn't want me to get involved.

-

10:00 AM.

Jiang Ruan arrived at Si Ning's building.

Mo Mo parked the car and went upstairs with her. As soon as the elevator opened, they made eye contact with Huo Zhizhou inside.

That moment.

Jiang Ruan frowned.

"Good morning, Miss Jiang," Assistant Jiang greeted her proactively.

Jiang Ruan: "..."

Jiang Ruan's eyes and brows were filled with complex emotions.

What's Huo Zhizhou doing here?

"Are you also here to see Miss Si Ning?" Assistant Jiang pressed the elevator open button, his attitude extremely gentle.

Jiang Ruan hummed in agreement.

Assistant Jiang glanced at his boss and said, "That's quite a coincidence. We're also going to see Miss Si Ning. Let's go up together."

"No, thank you," Jiang Ruan refused. "You guys go first."

Assistant Jiang glanced at his boss.

The latter did not comment.

He had no choice but to keep pressing the elevator open button.

For a moment, the two were locked in a stalemate, staring at each other across the elevator, neither willing to give in.

Jiang Ruan knew Huo Zhizhou was doing it on purpose, wanting her to remain in a stalemate and then be forced to take the elevator for fear of delaying others. After all, this was Si Ning's residence, not a company elevator.

"Why don't we go up together?" Assistant Jiang noticed the strange atmosphere, pursed his lips and coughed lightly. "Since we're going to see Miss Si Ning anyway, going up together will save her the trouble of opening the door twice."

Jiang Ruan didn't respond.

She knew that Huo Zhizhou wasn't sent by Si Ning.

Si Ning knew about her relationship with Huo Zhizhou, and she wouldn't put her and Huo Zhizhou together unless there were special circumstances.

"Ding ding ding—"

The elevator started making noise because the doors hadn't been closed for too long.

Assistant Jiang stood there, looking troubled.

The boss remained silent.

What should we do?

"Mo Mo." Jiang Ruan disliked stalemates.

Mo Mo was always ready: "I'm here."

Jiang Ruan looked at Huo Zhizhou and said, word by word, "Since they are unwilling to sit, then pull them out."

"OK."

Mo Mo immediately carried out the order.

For him, dragging Jiang Yu and Huo Zhizhou away was not a difficult task.

Less than ten seconds.

He then pulled the two of them out.

Jiang Ruan entered the elevator, pressed the button for Si Ning's floor, and prepared to go up.

Huo Zhizhou glanced at Assistant Jiang, who looked embarrassed, but for the sake of his boss's happiness, he gritted his teeth and played a trick on Mo Mo, even reaching out to pull his pants.

Mo Mo instinctively tried to block it.

Taking advantage of the moment when he let go, Huo Zhizhou squeezed through the elevator door and went inside.

Mo Mo: "?"

Mo Mo: "!"

Several cracks appeared on Mo Mo's face.

Before he could stop him, Assistant Jiang gave him a bear hug, blocking his way.

"If you keep doing this, the boss will only hate you more and more." Seeing that he couldn't catch up, Mo Mo didn't say anything more, but just pressed the elevator button to go up later.

"The boss just wants to be with Miss Jiang."

"The boss doesn't want to be with her ex-husband."

"I'm just a special assistant, I'm paid to do things."

"Then I'll do the work for money too."

Assistant Jiang: "?"

What's the meaning?

"Removing one of your arms is easy for me," Mo Mo said with a serious expression. "Would you like your left hand or right hand first? Or perhaps both legs?"

Jiang's assistant instinctively distanced himself from him.

Executing commands is important.

But arms and legs are also important.

“I don’t want to see you do that again.” Mo Mo said seriously, thinking about his two little actions, “Otherwise you really will lose an arm.”

“Okay.” Assistant Jiang replied politely.

In a few days, we should be able to hire the bodyguard the boss wants, and then he won't have to do such despicable things anymore.

I wonder how the BOSS and Miss Jiang get along?

Inside the elevator.

The two remained silent.

Seeing Jiang Ruan standing far away from him, Huo Zhizhou took the initiative to move towards her and said seriously, "What brings you here to see Si Ning?"

Jiang Ruan remained silent.

"Are you still angry about what happened last night?" Huo Zhizhou asked.

Jiang Ruan didn't respond.

Huo Zhizhou moved closer to her: "I apologize to you. I was impulsive last night."

Jiang Ruan didn't even glance at him.

What's the point of apologizing?

Knowing full well that it would upset her, I still did it. This apology has absolutely no sincerity. If I truly felt I was wrong, I wouldn't bother her like this.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Huo Zhizhou felt a tightness in his chest when he saw that she was silent. "If you're still angry about what happened earlier, you can hit me like you did last night."

Jiang Ruan simply stared at the ever-rising floors, giving him no response whatsoever.

bite.

The elevator has arrived.

The moment the door opened, Jiang Ruan strode out and headed straight for Si Ning's location.

Huo Zhizhou followed closely behind.

"Ding-dong."

Jiang Ruan rang the doorbell.

Huo Zhizhou also pressed the button.
