Chapter 638 Did you make a deal with Huo Zhizhou?

Tang Bai: "?"

I didn't realize this kid was so fierce.

Just as he was about to answer, Jiang Ruan, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and said to the two of them, "What are you two whispering about in the back?"

"Mo Mo just asked me... um..." Tang Bai was about to sell the person without hesitation.

Mo Mo quickly covered his mouth.

Tang Bai: "Mmm..."

Mo Mo stared at him: "You're not allowed to say it."

Jiang Ruan's forehead was covered in question marks, and she was somewhat curious: "What you're not allowed to say?"

Tang Bai tried to break free from him to complain.

Mo Mo began to threaten: "If you dare to say anything out of line, I'll come to your room tonight and pull off your blankets."

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Tang Bai: "?"

Tang Bai used all his strength to turn his head away, getting a moment to catch his breath: "Are you crazy?"

This conversation between the two intensified Jiang Ruan's curiosity.

"Young Miss, Mo Mo said... mmm..." Tang Bai had only said a few words when Mo Mo covered his mouth again, this time with more force than before, making it impossible for him to break free.

Mo Mo, with an innocent look on her face, said, "Boss, I didn't say anything."

Jiang Ruan: "Let Tang Bai go."

Mo Mo glanced at it but didn't put it down.

He knew very well that if he let him go, Tang Bai would definitely expose him.

If the boss finds out that he's collaborating with his ex-husband's people, he'll most likely be unhappy.

“If he really wants to say something, there’s no point in covering his mouth,” Jiang Ruan kindly reminded him. “You can’t glue his mouth shut.”

Mo Mo: "That's a good idea."

Jiang Ruan: "He can type it out to me."

Mo Mo: "..."

Mo Mo fell silent instantly.

"I asked him if his micro-expression just now meant he was thinking about his ex-husband or not." He let go of Tang Bai and chose to be honest, after all, he really couldn't guard against Tang Bai 24 hours a day.

Jiang Ruan: "No."

Mo Mo: "Your opinion doesn't count."

Jiang Ruan: "If my opinion doesn't count, then yours does?"

“You might lie, and there’s also a chance you can’t see your own heart clearly.” Mo Mo’s analysis sounded so real. “But micro-expressions are different. When I ask you about that moment, your reaction is genuine.”

Jiang Ruan stared at him for a while.

Mo Mo is not one to pry into these kinds of things. Usually, apart from doing the tasks she assigns him, he doesn't delve too deeply into other matters. This is the first time he's done something like this.

Could it be?

"You made a deal with Huo Zhizhou?" That was the only thing she could think of.

"No," Mo Mo replied.

Jiang Ruan stared at him: "Then you..."

Mo Mo didn't want to tell him at first, but considering that this was the person who paid her salary and treated her well, she finally gave up hiding it: "Didn't you say we need to learn how to build connections?"

Jiang Ruan nodded: "Mm."

Mo Mo: "Last night, my ex-husband's bodyguard, Lin Bei, contacted me. I figured he worked for my ex-husband and should be considered a connection, so I made a small deal with him."

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Tang Bai: "?"

Tang Bai asked, "What is the significance of Lin Bei as a network of connections?"

Mo Mo thought for a moment and said, "When I need him to help me find out about my ex-husband, he can tell me."

Tang Bai thought his brain wasn't working properly: "Do you think he'll tell you?"

Mo Mo: "Yes."

Mo Mo: "If he doesn't tell me, I'll beat him up."

Tang Bai rubbed his forehead.

I don't even know what to say about him.

“He’s my ex-husband’s bodyguard; he can summon countless bodyguards with a wave of his hand.” Tang Bai tried to make him face reality. “Even if you can take on twenty at once, how do you fight a whole group?”

Mo Mo was thinking.

Tang Bai then said, "If a real fight breaks out, what will you do if I report you for affray?"

"Is he really that tasteless?" Mo Mo's focus was always different.

"This isn't about good taste or bad taste." Tang Bai reached out and poked him on the forehead. "If he wanted to tell you false information, how would you tell?"

Mo Mo hesitated.

It seems impossible to tell.

After all, they are separated by such a great distance.

While pondering, he suddenly came to a conclusion: "Could I also tell him false information?"

Tang Bai paused, then subconsciously looked at Jiang Ruan.

Jiang Ruan didn't get involved in their bickering, but simply told Mo Mo, "I don't care what you and Lin Bei do, just don't let me appear in your chat."

Mo Mo: "Not even a little bit?"

Jiang Ruan: "No."

Mo Mo deflated instantly.

Jiang Ruan ignored them and turned to walk inside.

When she went in, Jiang An was signing documents with Qin Mo and Qin Luofeng. When he saw her, Jiang An waved to her and said, "Baby, come here."

Jiang Ruan came to her side.

Just as he was about to say something, he saw what Qin Luofeng was holding.

Letter of Understanding.

A letter of understanding?!

Jiang Ruan frowned immediately.

“Mom, this…” She looked at the familiar signature and a surge of emotion and worry welled up inside her. “Did they force you to sign it?”

Jiang An pulled her hand and held it: "No."

Jiang Ruan's mind went blank: "Then..."

"Ruan Ruan and I are going upstairs to talk about something. You two can do as you please." Jiang An stood up, exuding his usual calm and composed demeanor, always unhurried and unhurried.

Qin Mo: "Okay."

Qin Luofeng: "Thank you, Auntie."

Jiang An didn't say anything, and led Jiang Ruan upstairs.

In the study.

Jiang Ruan was still thinking about the letter of understanding. Her brows furrowed slightly, and she was about to speak when Jiang An spoke first: "You want to ask me why I signed the letter of understanding?"

"Mm." Jiang Ruan nodded.

"Qin Mo has offered some good terms." Jiang An handed her the documents as she spoke. "The resources he's offering are exactly what you're currently lacking. You can look into them once this matter is over."

Jiang Ruan took it and looked through it.

Qin Mo is indeed generous.

The resources and connections provided were all tailored to her current weaknesses.

“I know what you’re thinking, but the world isn’t black and white.” Jiang An told her little by little, “Many things can be adapted to, and you have to learn to make use of resources.”

“I can do other things, but I don’t want to do things for you.” Jiang Ruan had already understood the rules in such a short time, and after seeing the conditions Qin Mo offered, she also knew her mother’s intentions.

But everything has its bottom line and its limits.

What happened to her mother back then is her bottom line.

“I only signed a letter of understanding with Qin Luofeng, not Qin Muchuan,” Jiang An said. “We don’t need to catch everything in many things, just the most conspicuous and prominent parts.”

“But what if Qin Luofeng tries something behind the scenes?” Jiang Ruan didn’t trust him.

They dared to let He Jia treat her mother that way back then.

As they grow up, it's hard to guarantee they won't do even more outrageous things.

“That’s something Qin Mo should consider.” Jiang An had taken everything into account, so naturally he would also impose constraints and regulations when negotiating terms. “He is the guarantor.”

Jiang Ruan was still somewhat emotional.

She put down the documents and hugged her.

She knew why her mother did this, but it was precisely because she knew that she felt wronged.

"Don't worry, this exchange is worthwhile." Jiang An patted her on the shoulder. "You won't lose out."

She wanted to turn Ruan Ruan's efforts into real value.

As for what happened back then, Qin Muchuan can repay it all by himself.

The rest should be replaced with more practical ones.
