Chapter 694 Jiang Ruan Learns of the Will

"Why?" Jiang Ruan asked curiously.

“If he knew I knew, he would feel even more burdened.” Sui Sui thought it through clearly. “I don’t want him to live with so many worries. I hope he can live a more relaxed life.”

Jiang Ruan looked at him.

After a while, she agreed: "Okay."

Sui Sui scratched her head: "There's one more thing..."

Jiang Ruan: "You go ahead."

“Given your current situation with your father, the chances of you getting back together are very small, almost zero,” Sui Sui said seriously. “And your father is very likely to fall back into the same state after you leave, ruining his health.”

Jiang Ruan nodded.

Huo Zhizhou would indeed do that.

“If things really get to the point where Dad is in a really bad state, I hope you’ll allow me to come and take care of him.” Sui Sui had thought it through all night. “Let me see him off when he passes away.”

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Jiang Ruan was somewhat surprised.

She never imagined he would say that.

"Seeing someone off at their deathbed?"

“If Dad continues like this, he will most likely die young.” Sui Sui’s voice was a little childish, but her eyes were serious. “As his only child, I want to see him off on his final journey.”

Jiang Ruan didn't know what to say for a moment.

She knew that Sui Sui was mature and sensible, with strong logical thinking and a strong ability to learn. He was like an adult at such a young age, but she did not expect him to be so rational and calm in the face of such a situation.

She also knew that he wasn't cold-blooded, but rather that it was the most rational decision he made after seeing things clearly.

"Is it okay?" Sui Sui asked.

"Why didn't you advise me to be friends with him and get along well?" Jiang Ruan felt a little annoyed.

"You are my mommy, the person I love most in this world." Sui Sui said this with her eyes full of sincerity. "I don't want you to suffer, and I don't want you to sacrifice anything for me."

That would be unhappy.

He doesn't want it.

"Fool." Jiang Ruan rarely used these two words to describe him.

"You don't need to come over then. Uncle Mo Mo and Uncle Tang Bai can take me to the airport," Sui Sui said earnestly. "I'll tell you when Daddy really leaves."

"Don't talk nonsense," Jiang Ruan corrected. "Your father will live to be a hundred and healthy."

Sui Sui moved her lips, but ultimately swallowed those words back.

A few seconds later.

He nodded emphatically: "Yes!"

"Later, have Lin Bei and the others take you out for a walk." Jiang Ruan rubbed his head. "I'll have a good talk with your father and try to get him to think things through and live a good life."

“Okay!” Sui Sui agreed.

But in her heart she thought, "Silly Mommy, if Daddy could have been persuaded, things wouldn't be like this now."

All he wanted was his mom.

But there is no hope.

Jiang Ruan: "Then Mommy will go first."

Sui Sui: "Mmm."

Jiang Ruan kissed his forehead and went downstairs.

Lin Feng led them to Huo Zhizhou's location.

At this moment, he was sitting on a chair in the garden with his back to her, wearing dark loungewear, holding a mobile phone and talking on the phone, using a lot of financial jargon, arranging everything in an orderly manner.

"Miss Jiang." Jiang Yu appeared beside her at some point.

Jiang Ruan was startled, but quickly composed herself: "Assistant Jiang."

Jiang Yu: "You've come to have a heart-to-heart talk with the BOSS?"

Jiang Ruan: "Mm."

Jiang Yu glanced at the BOSS who was still on the phone, and after thinking it over, said, "Before you have your heart-to-heart talk with the BOSS, could you please come with me? I have something I want to show you."

Jiang Ruan subconsciously looked at Huo Zhizhou.

Jiang Yu said, "It's related to the BOSS."

“Let’s go.” Jiang Ruan said without hesitation.

Jiang Yu led her upstairs. Considering that Lin Feng was an honest man, he specifically told him before leaving that if the BOSS asked, he should pretend that he knew nothing.

Five minutes later.

Upstairs study.

Assistant Jiang went in, turned on the computer, and opened a file: "Please take a look at this first."

Jiang Ruan's gaze fell on the screen, her eyes sweeping over the rows of text.

After looking at part of it, he asked with some doubt, "What is this?"

Property inventory?

"Pull it up," Assistant Jiang reminded him.

Jiang Ruan followed suit.

The next second.

She stood there, frozen in place.

The word "will" was prominently displayed at the very top of the document.

Further down, it is revealed that the person who made the will was Huo Zhizhou, and the heir to the will is her.

"Some time ago, the BOSS knew that his health was deteriorating, so he secretly drafted this." Assistant Jiang told him everything he knew. The BOSS had said that after Miss Jiang left this time, he could no longer tell Miss Jiang anything.

That's how it is.

It's better to make things clear before they start talking.

“He also had a lawyer draw up a formal will,” Jiang’s assistant said. “Everything in it will be in effect on the day he passes away.”

"You're crazy," Jiang Ruan cursed, but a heavy, complicated feeling welled up in her chest.

When she learned that Huo Zhizhou was in bad shape, she was just worried.

When Huo Silai came to find her, all she felt was worry.

But seeing this thing at this moment felt like a heavy blow to my heart.

A slight pain spread through me.

“The boss did do poorly in the past, but now he’s determined to change,” Assistant Jiang said, rarely speaking up for Huo Zhizhou. “He wants you to be happy, and he’d give anything for you.”

"Where is the official will document?" Jiang Ruan asked.

"The official documents are in the law firm of his private legal team." Assistant Jiang knew all this. "There are copies in the right drawer."

Jiang Ruan opened the drawer and rummaged through it.

She found a copy of the will in no time.

She glanced through it and found that the content was similar to the document on the computer, only more complete.

"What is this...?" Jiang Yu asked.

“Talk to him.” Jiang Ruan stood up with the will in her hand. “Don’t worry, I’ll say I came here to use his computer to do some things and accidentally found it.”

Given Huo Zhizhou's past actions, he definitely wouldn't let anyone tell her this.

Jiang Yu told her that she only hoped Huo Zhizhou would be well.

Just as Huo Zhizhou wanted what was best for her.

"Thank you," said Assistant Jiang.

Jiang Ruan didn't say anything more, took the copy of the will and went downstairs to find someone.

At the same time.

Lin Feng was being questioned by Huo Zhizhou: "Didn't I tell you to wait for Ruan Ruan there? Why did you come over?"

"I..." Lin Feng stammered.

Huo Zhizhou: "Speak."

Lin Feng racked his brains for an excuse, but after thinking for a long time he couldn't find a suitable one, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "I can't say."

Anyway, Miss Jiang is here.

If the boss decides to punish him, he'll plead with Miss Jiang for mercy.

Miss Jiang is such a kind person, she definitely wouldn't bear to see him punished by the BOSS.

"Why can't I say?" Huo Zhizhou asked.

"I just can't say." Lin Feng swallowed hard, wondering how to continue hiding his identity, when he suddenly caught sight of Jiang Ruan walking towards him out of the corner of his eye. "If you really want to know, just ask the person behind you."

Huo Zhizhou: "?"

Huo Zhizhou turned his head in confusion. Before his mind could process what was happening, his eyes first saw Ruan Ruan walking towards him.
