Chapter 553 You're meddling a bit too much

As the person getting closer and closer, Jiang Ruan subconsciously shifted her position.

She didn't want to have any contact with him, much less run into him.

Fortunately, Si Ning opened the door in time. She saw Jiang Ruan first, and was about to let her in when she saw Huo Zhizhou was also there.

His gaze swept back and forth between the two of them, then he asked Jiang Ruan, "You two..."

"Come in."

She turned to the side.

Jiang Ruan went in, and Huo Zhizhou followed.

Seeing this, Si Ning felt something was strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Did you bring him here, or did he stubbornly follow us?" Si Ning asked slowly as she closed the door and handed them both water.

Jiang Ruan: "I only brought Mo Mo with me."

Si Ning immediately understood: "It seems that some people have followed us here shamelessly."

Huo Zhizhou: "..."

"When did Young Master Huo develop a stalker fetish?" Si Ning wasn't afraid of him at all, her gentle tone carrying a hint of teasing, "You don't even like me, yet you still follow me around."

"You're meddling a bit too much," Huo Zhizhou said.

“Ruan Ruan is my master’s daughter, so in terms of relationship, she’s my junior sister.” Si Ning sat down next to Jiang Ruan. “Is there a problem with me disliking that scumbag on behalf of my junior sister?”

Huo Zhizhou consciously shut up, trying to make himself invisible.

"Do you miss him?" Si Ning asked Jiang Ruan softly.

Jiang Ruan shook her head.

Si Ning said she understood, took out her phone, and made a call.

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Huo Zhizhou: "?"

Both of them were puzzled by her behavior.

“Don’t you want Huo Zhizhou? He’s with me now,” Si Ning said into the phone. “Come and take him away.”

Gu Shixi blurted out, "What is he going to do at your place?"

"Going mad." Si Ning said calmly.

Gu Shixi: "..."

Gu Shixi: "I'll be right there."

Less than ten minutes.

Gu Shixi arrived.

Upon entering, he saw the three of them sitting together. His gaze shifted between Jiang Ruan and Huo Zhizhou before he asked, "Have you two made up?"

"Didn't you have something to say to him?" Si Ning changed the subject. "Take him outside to talk."

"Can't we talk here?" Gu Shixi asked.

Si Ning: "No."

Gu Shixi fell silent, then looked at Huo Zhizhou without saying anything more: "Shall we go outside and talk?"

Huo Zhizhou: "I'm busy."

Gu Shixi didn't care whether he was free or not, and dragged him away.

However, the difference in strength was too great, and Huo Zhizhou broke free in no time.

"Let's go outside," Si Ning kindly suggested. "You probably don't want me to call the property management to handle this."

Gu Shixi was somewhat surprised.

Unexpectedly, Si Ning disliked Huo Er so much.

Huo Zhizhou glanced at Jiang Ruan, and seeing that she hadn't looked at him the whole time, he stood up and went out with Gu Shixi.

When we arrived at the door.

He also said to Jiang Yu, who was guarding outside the door, "Tell me when Ruan Ruan leaves."

“He won’t have that chance,” Mo Mo said.

Huo Zhizhou stared at him.

Mo Mo said, "I'll knock him out before he can say anything."

Assistant Jiang: "..."

Gu Shixi: "..."

Assistant Jiang finally spoke up: "Don't worry, I will let you know in time."

Huo Zhizhou nodded and left with Gu Shixi.

Upon reaching the top floor, Gu Shixi, reflecting on what had just happened, asked with mixed emotions, "Is your relationship with Jiang Ruan really that bad?"

"What do you want?" Huo Zhizhou didn't want to talk to him about relationships.

"Weren't you pursuing her?" Gu Shixi asked again, "How did things turn out like this?"

Huo Zhizhou gave him a look.

"I won't ask anymore!" Gu Shixi said immediately. "Let's get down to business."

"What is it?" Huo Zhizhou asked softly.

"Is giving Huo Sinian to the Huo Group part of your plan or do you really not want it anymore?" Gu Shixi's expression turned serious when he spoke about serious matters. "If it's just a plan, you should still take care of it."

"Everything about the Huo family has nothing to do with me," Huo Zhizhou said emotionlessly.

Gu Shixi frowned: "This is not the time to throw a tantrum. Do you know how ruthless Huo Sinian has been lately?"

Huo Zhizhou: "It has nothing to do with me."

Whether it's the Huo family or the Huo Group.

All of that is in the past.

"You really don't want it anymore?" Gu Shixi stared at him.

He was anxious when he first learned about this, but after thinking about it, he realized that Huo Er was a man who loved to plan. The Huo Group was largely his work, and giving it to Huo Sinian might have been part of his plan.

But now.

Huo Sinian has made such a mess of the company, and he doesn't care at all.

"Because of Brother Mu?" Gu Shixi asked.

"It's not because of anyone." Huo Zhizhou's gaze drifted into the distance, somewhat unfocused. "I just simply don't want it anymore."

Gu Shixi noticed his expression and, recalling the past, asked, "Is there anything else that I don't know about?"

Huo Zhizhou didn't say.

Besides Huo Cheng, only Ruan Ruan and Huo Sinian knew about that matter.

The person involved in that incident was dealt with by Huo Sinian many years ago and left to fend for himself in international waters.

"Is there anything you can't tell me?" Gu Shixi asked.

"How to win back someone you like?" Huo Zhizhou changed the subject.

Gu Shixi: "?"

Gu Shixi was stunned for a moment: "What?"

"I want to pursue Ruan Ruan." Huo Zhizhou looked at the endless array of buildings, feeling an emptiness in his chest. "But no matter what I do, she hates me."

"You can't help but hate what you did in the past," Gu Shixi said bluntly.

When Huo Zhizhou is at a disadvantage, he will speak up for him.

When Huo Zhizhou was not at a disadvantage, he would retort without any politeness.

Hearing his words, Huo Zhizhou frowned almost imperceptibly.

"I was just joking," Gu Shixi quickly explained. "Pursuing someone is easy, just cater to their preferences, give them whatever they like."

Huo Zhizhou: "She likes me to stay away from her."

Gu Shixi: "..."

Gu Shixi: "Why don't you stay away from her?"

Huo Zhizhou glanced at him, then turned and left without staying a second longer.

Talking about this with Gu Shixi, I must have been crazy just a second ago.

"Why are you leaving!" Gu Shixi hurriedly followed. "I'm not joking. If she likes you, you have to stay away from her. Otherwise, she'll only hate you more and more."

Huo Zhizhou turned a deaf ear.

Gu Shixi followed behind him: "What if we push her too hard and she does something rash?"

Huo Zhizhou paused in his tracks.

He thought back to what happened at the hotel; she had grabbed a knife to avoid going back with him. If he hadn't reacted quickly and snatched it from her, would she have actually harmed herself?

No, it won't.

It's unclear whether he was saying this to himself or to Gu Shixi.

Ruan Ruan is doing very well now. Her career is on track, and Sui Sui and her mother are by her side.

She wouldn't do something so foolish.

“Normally she wouldn’t, but don’t you know what kind of personality she has?” Gu Shixi said casually, not noticing Huo Zhizhou’s expression. “She might let small things go, but when she really has no other choice, she’d rather fight you to the death.”
