Chapter 641 Are you happy?

Chapter 641 Are you happy?

The ginger froze.

My thoughts went blank for a moment.

“He wanted to see you, but he was afraid of upsetting you, so he forced himself not to bother you,” Huo Sinian said, word by word. “But he underestimated your influence on him, and the conflicting emotions made him almost kill himself.”

Jiang Ruan felt a pang of sadness.

The events of the previous cooling-off period came to mind.

Huo Sinian told her the same thing back then, and Huo Zhizhou did indeed fall ill.

"Are you happy?" Huo Sinian asked her.

Jiang Ruan was still reeling from her memories: "What?"

Huo Zhizhou looked at her face and said in a soft, casual tone, "Zhizhou is dying soon, are you happy?"

“He is Sui Sui’s father.” Jiang Ruan did not answer directly.

"Putting aside his relationship with Sui Sui, how did you feel when you heard this news?" Huo Sinian asked her. "Would you rather he were dead so he wouldn't bother you, or would you be able to accept him staying by your side without causing you any trouble?"

Jiang Ruan raised her eyes.

He was about to speak.

Huo Sinian said first, "You can think about it carefully."

“Whether he lives or dies is his own business,” Jiang Ruan retorted. “It has nothing to do with me.”

“It is indeed none of your business, but I hope you will think about this issue seriously.” Huo Sinian pushed up his glasses and spoke very politely. “After all, if he continues with his current lifestyle, he will not live for more than three months.”

Even if they are kept alive with nutrient solution later on.

The effect was not significant.

After all, emotions are the primary source of energy for everything.

"If you want to go see him, give me a call and I'll take you." Huo Sinian stood up as he spoke, making it clear that the matter was settled. "If you don't want to go, that's fine too, as long as you don't regret this choice."

After saying that, he left without waiting for Jiang Ruan's reaction.

Jiang Ruan struggled internally for a moment, then stood up and called out to him after much consideration, "Wait."

Huo Sinian stopped in his tracks.

Jiang Ruan was silent for a moment: "What exactly is his condition now?"

When she called him last time, his voice sounded off, but Huo Zhizhou explained that the flu was rampant abroad and he had accidentally caught it. He didn't notice anything unusual when he chatted with Jiang Yu afterwards.

The only suspicious thing is that Lin Feng said he hadn't eaten.

Huo Zhizhou said it was because he had a cold and no appetite, and considering that was indeed a possibility, she didn't think much of it.

But now...

"Do you remember the last time I called you?" Huo Sinian asked.

Jiang Ruan nodded: "I remember."

"The purpose of that phone call wasn't what we talked about on the phone, but just to force Zhizhou to eat something," Huo Sinian said. "Since he went abroad, he has hardly eaten anything on his own."

Jiang Ruan frowned slightly.

"But that day, in order to prevent me from telling you about his situation, he compromised and ate some." Huo Sinian told her about the situation in detail.

He only has one younger brother.

They also gave him all the family rights and shares.

From any perspective, he, as the older brother, should help him.

"Well..." Jiang Ruan hesitated, unsure how to say what she was about to say.

"Unfortunately, what he ate didn't make him better; in fact, it made him worse," Huo Sinian said.

Jiang Ruan asked, "Why?"

Huo Sinian: "He threw up everything."

Huo Sinian: "Because of my bad mood, I had no appetite, so the food I ate was rejected by my body."

Jiang Ruan was stunned.

She had considered that Huo Zhizhou might be a little unhappy.

But I never imagined he would be in such a bad situation.

“I’ll be in Haicheng for the next ten days or so. If you want to go, I can take you anytime.” Huo Sinian looked at her. “If you don’t want to go, I won’t force you.”

After saying this, Huo Sinian left.

Jiang Ruan was left standing there alone.

After everything that's happened, it would be a lie to say she wasn't worried at all upon hearing this news.

He helped her so much.

It's still Sui Sui's dad.

"What did Huo Sinian say to you?" Tang Bai walked over and asked with concern when he noticed that her expression was a little off.

Jiang Ruan: "It's nothing."

Tang Bai: "Then you..."

"I'm going upstairs to take care of something." Jiang Ruan suppressed her emotions and calmly instructed, "If Grandpa calls me later, just say I'm busy and I'll go find him later."

Tang Bai nodded: "Okay."

Jiang Ruan nodded and went upstairs.

Watching her departing figure, Tang Bai's brows furrowed in deep thought.

“I know why the boss is in a bad mood,” Mo Mo suddenly blurted out.

Tang Bai: "?"

Tang Bai asked, "Why?"

Mo Mo: "She's worried about her ex-husband."

Tang Bai: How did you know?

“Apart from her ex-husband, Huo Sinian has absolutely no connection with the boss.” Mo Mo’s mind suddenly became very sharp.

Tang Bai thought for a moment.

That seems to be the case.

There was absolutely no involvement in their careers, let alone in their personal lives.

Jiang Ruan went to the study and sat by the window, her mind filled with Huo Sinian's words.

After careful consideration.

She took out her phone and made a call to Lin Bei.

The reason she didn't call Huo Zhizhou and Jiang Yu was that she knew very well that if things were as Huo Sinian said, they would act in a way that wouldn't make her worry.

Huo Zhizhou was stubborn.

Jiang's assistant listened to him.

Only Lin Bei could persuade him to do so.

Lin Bei was still asleep when the call connected. Half-asleep, he fumbled for his phone and swiped to answer: "Hello."

"Are you busy?" Jiang Ruan asked.

Lin Bei: "?"

Lin Bei: "!!!"

Lin Bei sprang out of bed with a swift motion.

He quickly rubbed his sleepy eyes and stared intently at the screen on his phone.

He perked up when he saw that it was Jiang Ruan calling.

"Miss Jiang?" he exclaimed, unable to contain his excitement.

Jiang Ruan: "It's me."

Lin Bei cleared his throat and asked with a hint of curiosity, "Is there something you need for this call?"

"I heard that Huo Zhizhou hasn't eaten or drunk anything lately, is that true?" Jiang Ruan asked.

“This…” Lin Bei hesitated.

The boss and Jiang Yu wouldn't let him tell.

If we don't tell, the BOSS probably won't live much longer.

"Who told you that?" He still didn't answer.

Jiang Ruan didn't hide it: "Huo Sinian."

Lin Bei was taken aback.

Jiang Ruan added, "He told me all about Huo Zhizhou's situation, and said that if things continued like this, he wouldn't live more than three months."

"It's...really." Lin Bei scratched his head and told her the truth. He felt that it wasn't right to keep it a secret forever, since he wasn't the one who snitched.

Jiang Ruan: "Is it that the food doesn't suit your taste, or..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Bei said, "He misses you, but he can't contact you."

After that.

It was a long silence.

“He’s been having a very bad time here.” Lin Bei thought that since he had already said it, he might as well tell the whole story. “It’s similar to the time before we divorced.”

"Where is he?" Jiang Ruan asked.

"She's sleeping," Lin Bei said.

Jiang Ruan: "?"

sleep?

As if knowing what she was thinking, he took the initiative to explain, "There is a seven or eight-hour time difference between here and China. It's only a little past three in the morning now."

Jiang Ruan paused for a moment.

She quickly glanced at the time.

Sorry, I didn't notice the time difference.

"It's nothing." Lin Bei didn't care about that. He only had one thing on his mind: "Why don't you call the BOSS in a few hours? He'll be in a better mood if he gets a call from you, and when he's in a better mood, he'll eat."

"Will you throw up?" Jiang Ruan asked.

Lin Bei: "No, I haven't thrown up anything I ate after answering your call."

Although it only happened once, I didn't vomit that time.
