Chapter 640 He's Dying

Qin Luofeng nodded.

Qin Mo said a few words of concern and then left with him.

On the way outside, Qin Luofeng thought about Old Master Qin's words, "The privileges were only given to you four children," and asked Qin Mo, "What did you want?"

Qin Mo: "?"

Qin Luofeng: "The privileges Grandpa mentioned."

Qin Mo: "I don't want it."

Qin Luofeng paused for a moment, then realized: "Where's Jiang Ruan?"

"I don't know," Qin Mo said. "They probably didn't want it either."

Qin Luofeng breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he didn't mention it.

If he brings it up, Grandpa will probably think he's the greediest of the four children.

"If there's anything you want, just say so. Qin Jiangye wants it too," Qin Mo said, seemingly knowing what he was thinking.

Qin Luofeng was taken aback, then turned his gaze to the side: "What did he want?"

Qin Mo: "All the shares of the entertainment company he works for."

Qin Luofeng: "?"

Qin Luofeng: "This doesn't seem to belong to Grandpa's property."

Qin Mo: "It doesn't belong to it, but for Grandpa it's just a very small thing."

Qin Luofeng's expression turned thoughtful.

Just as he was wondering whether to tell his grandfather about what he wanted, he suddenly noticed that Qin Mo, who was walking next to him, had stopped. He subconsciously looked at him and saw that Qin Mo was looking straight ahead.

What are you looking at?

He followed the gaze.

"What a coincidence." Huo Sinian walked towards them with a smile, his gaze falling on Qin Mo, and said with a gentle and refined air, "I didn't expect to run into President Qin here."

Qin Mo's expression immediately turned cold: "What are you doing here?"

"What do you think?" Huo Sinian asked.

Qin Mo's eyes were like knives.

The air pressure around the area decreased.

"Don't look at me like that," Huo Sinian said calmly. "Anyone who didn't know better would think we have some deep-seated grudge."

Qin Mo: "You can give up that idea."

Huo Sinian: "What are you thinking?"

Qin Mo: "You know it yourself."

Huo Sinian: "I don't quite understand what President Qin means."

“She was bullied by you before because I wasn’t there,” Qin Mo said. “Now you can’t touch her.”

Huo Sinian gave a low laugh.

Her gentle and natural temperament was the complete opposite of Qin Mo's coldness and hardness.

He took two steps toward him, and uttered two words through his thin lips: "Is that so?"

Qin Mo: "Yes."

Huo Sinian asked softly, "Then how come you didn't even know I'd been to her place?"

These words were spoken.

Qin Mo's aura was as cold as winter.

"Don't be nervous, I was just joking with you." Huo Sinian's thin lips curved slightly, his eyes so deep that they were unfathomable. "You've sent people to protect her, how can I get close to her?"

Qin Mo's eyes darkened slightly.

He had not previously placed Huo Sinian as his top priority.

At that time, he only paid attention to Huo Zhizhou.

It now seems that Huo Sinian is also a formidable opponent.

"I have something to discuss with Jiang Ruan, so I won't catch up with you." Huo Sinian pushed up his glasses as he spoke and slowly walked inside.

Qin Mo was left standing there.

A look of doubt flashed in Qin Luofeng's eyes: "Brother, you and him..."

"You go back first." Qin Mo didn't explain, his expression was almost the same as before. "I have something to take care of. Call me if you need anything. Keep an eye on Dad at home."

"Okay." Qin Luofeng nodded.

Qin Mo quickened his pace and left.

He had to go check on Lin Tan to make sure she was alright.

If Huo Sinian's target is Jiang Ruan, that's fine, but if it's Lin Tan...

Thinking of this, he called Lin Tan. After a few rings, Lin Tan answered: "Qin Mo?"

"Where are you now?" Qin Mo asked.

Lin Tan: "I work at the company."

Qin Mo: "You..."

Lin Tan noticed his tone was off and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Qin Mo saw that her voice was normal and guessed that Huo Sinian probably hadn't come to see her yet. "Are you free tonight? I'd like to invite you to dinner."

Although bothering her too much when she doesn't like him would be a nuisance to her.

But he was still worried about Huo Sinian.

"I might not be free tonight." Lin Tan looked at the work she needed to familiarize herself with and politely declined. "I've been quite busy lately. How about I treat you to a meal after I'm done?"

Qin Mo pursed his lips.

I didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Should she agree? She might ruin her hard-earned day off.

"Do you have ten minutes free?" Qin Mo asked. "I'll come find you now."

Hearing his words, Lin Tan had a gut feeling that something was wrong, so she agreed: "Okay."

Qin Mo hummed in agreement and hung up the phone to go find her.

As for Jiang Ruan's side...

She received Huo Sinian in the reception room.

Looking at this person who was more charismatic than ever before, Jiang Ruan felt no emotional fluctuations and simply asked naturally, "What does President Huo want with me?"

"You and Zhizhou were husband and wife, so calling me President Huo is too formal," Huo Sinian said unhurriedly. "Just call me Big Brother like before."

“You didn’t come here to catch up with me,” Jiang Ruan said without beating around the bush.

Huo Sinian picked up his teacup and took a sip: "So you've come here to catch up."

Jiang Ruan: "?"

What old memories could she possibly have with him?

"You are now a major shareholder of the Qin Group and have invested in so many promising companies," Huo Sinian said slowly. "As your former elder brother, I really want to get along with you."

“If you really cared about this, you wouldn’t have confronted Qin Mo outside just now,” Jiang Ruan bluntly exposed him.

Huo Sinian was somewhat surprised.

It seemed he hadn't expected her to know even this.

But then she thought, this is her home, the whole estate belongs to her people, so it's not surprising that she knows.

"Speak, what do you want from me?" Jiang Ruan remained wary of him.

Huo Sinian: "So direct?"

Jiang Ruan: "To save time."

Huo Sinian: "That's true."

Jiang Ruan picked up her teacup and took a sip, making it clear that she would see him out if he didn't say anything.

"Nothing much, I just wanted to show you something." Huo Sinian opened the photos he had taken on his phone and handed them over, "to cheer you up in your spare time."

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Jiang Ruan was puzzled and took it in her hand to examine it.

When my gaze fell upon Huo Zhizhou in the photo, whose face was haggard and whose mental state was extremely poor, it felt as if a heavy stone had struck my chest.

Huo Sinian took in her reaction and calmly said, "There are a few more to come."

Jiang Ruan didn't move.

She suppressed her emotions and handed the phone back to him, her expression as calm and indifferent as before: "Why are you showing me this?"

"I'll show you what a miserable state he'll be in after divorcing you," Huo Sinian said. "It'll be revenge for how he treated you back then."

“His affairs have nothing to do with me.” Jiang Ruan remained distant and wary of him, naturally changing the subject. “I didn’t expect the president of the Huo Group to be so free these days.”

Huo Sinian: "Don't you want to know about his situation?"

Jiang Ruan: "No."

Huo Sinian looked at her and casually uttered a heartbreaking sentence: "He's dying."
