Chapter 699 Is this all you love?
After a moment's thought, he asked, "What's wrong with her?"
"He was depressed and wouldn't eat or drink," Su Zhu said dramatically. "Although he tried his best to act normal in front of me, like nothing was wrong, I still noticed something was off."
Huo Zhizhou was stunned.
He pictured the scene when Jiang Ruan came to find him.
She was indeed in a bad mood, but he kept thinking that she was thinking about how to quickly resolve his matter and leave.
"What exactly did you two talk about this morning?" Su Zhu brought the conversation back to the main topic.
Huo Zhizhou didn't know where to begin.
He didn't know if Jiang Ruan had told Su Zhu about his situation.
I have no idea what she said to Su Zhu.
"Speak." Su Zhu's temper flared, and her voice rose two octaves.
Huo Zhizhou's dark gaze fell upon her.
The moment their eyes met, Su Zhu felt inexplicably uneasy for two seconds. After all, he was the second young master of the Huo family. Even though his mental state was not as good as before, his aura had not diminished in the slightest.
"We talked about the future." Huo Zhizhou changed his words, not telling her everything, "I promised not to bother her from now on, and she can live her life as she originally planned."
"Bullshit!" Su Zhu blurted out.
Huo Zhizhou frowned slightly.
Su Zhu is straightforward and decisive.
But such direct use of profanity is rare.
"Don't think I don't know what you're up to." Su Zhu's words were crisp, her eyes filled with anger. "I know perfectly well why Ruan Ruan came here, and I also know that you deliberately came to this foreign land to avoid causing her any trouble."
Huo Zhizhou's eyes flickered.
Su Zhu deliberately said, "Just because Ruan Ruan can be fooled by you doesn't mean I can be."
Huo Zhizhou looked at her: "Liar?"
“Isn’t that right?” Su Zhu retorted. “On the surface, it was to avoid disturbing Ruan Ruan’s visit, but what happened? One minute she was on a hunger strike, the next she was on the verge of death. If you really didn’t want to cause her trouble, you wouldn’t have let these things happen.”
Huo Zhizhou attempted to explain.
Then it was discovered that there was no need for explanation.
He doesn't care how others misunderstand him; as long as Ruan Ruan understands him, that's enough.
"Is there anything else?" His attitude suddenly turned cold, even distant.
"This matter isn't over yet," Su Zhu said boldly, her tone full of confidence.
Huo Zhizhou was detached from others, saying, "I don't think there's anything to talk about with you about this."
“Of course there’s nothing to talk about with me, because I’m not Ruan Ruan and I won’t fall for your hypocritical attempts to do what’s best for her.” Su Zhu’s words were sharp and straightforward. “If I’m not mistaken, you told her this morning not to worry about you and that you would take care of yourself, right?”
Huo Zhizhou's expression remained unchanged.
But she was surprised to find that her guess was spot on.
"But do you really think she'll feel reassured if you say that?" Su Zhu finished scolding and then began to analyze, a typical case of slapping someone before reasoning with them. "Don't you know what kind of person she is?"
These words were spoken.
Huo Zhizhou fell silent.
Even if Ruan Ruan doesn't love him or like him, she's afraid she can't just stand by and watch him die because of certain reasons and her relationship with Sui Sui.
“You’ve done her a favor, you saved her and helped her with Aunt Jiang’s matter.” Su Zhu pointed it out bluntly, leaving him no way to escape. “Even if you tell her not to worry or care, she won’t be completely at ease until she sees you alive and well.”
Huo Zhizhou pursed his thin lips into a straight line.
He used to deliberately avoid thinking about these things because he didn't want to face them.
He thought that as time went by, Ruan Ruan would forget him.
But Ruan Ruan is a sentimental person with a strong sense of morality and responsibility in some matters.
“What do you want me to do?” he asked.
"What do you mean by 'I want you to do what you want'? That's your business, you should think about it yourself." Su Zhu didn't indulge him at all. She didn't believe she couldn't wake up a self-abusing person. "I'm sorry, it's you who's soft-hearted, not me."
Huo Zhizhou's mind was in complete chaos.
According to Su Zhu, as long as he wasn't truly healthy, Ruan Ruan would worry about him because of responsibility or morality. But it wasn't that he didn't want to live healthily; rather, his body involuntarily rejected food.
The more he wanted to get better, the more obvious his body's rejection became.
"Think about it carefully yourself." Su Zhu didn't intend to say anything more, ending the first conversation with just a few words. "Whether you live or die is none of my business, but don't affect Ruan Ruan."
He left after saying that.
They showed no intention of lingering any longer.
From the moment he arrived until now, he has expressed his anger and rage to the extreme.
"Wait a minute." An idea popped into Huo Zhizhou's mind.
With her back to him, Su Zhu simply uttered a single, unwelcome word: "Speak."
Huo Zhizhou's voice was calm and indifferent: "There is a way to make Ruan Ruan not have to worry about me."
Su Zhu turned around, her attitude still cold and hard: "What method?"
“Hypnotize her, make her forget me.” As Huo Zhizhou said this, a dense, suffocating feeling spread through his chest. “Shen Yuanqiao’s hypnosis is very sophisticated; I’ve experienced it myself.”
He didn't want Ruan Ruan to forget him unless absolutely necessary.
Even if she doesn't love him, even if they had unpleasant experiences, he still selfishly hopes that she will remember him and that they also had such a long and beautiful time together.
Su Zhu was only a little angry at first.
But upon hearing this, he suddenly became furious.
The image of the powerful and cunning Second Young Master Huo has been shattered at this moment!
"Your solution is to hurt her to escape the problem?" Su Zhu mocked. "I used to think you were an amazing person, incredibly talented, the ceiling I could never reach in my lifetime."
Not just her, the entire industry admires this person.
First fault.
He wielded immense power.
They can handle anything with ease and solve problems effortlessly.
Even regarding Su Anran's matter, if it weren't for the overly coincidental scar discovered after investigation, he would have been in a perfectly clear-headed state.
“But now I think you’re terrible,” Su Zhu said. “Ordinary people would solve problems directly, but you only think about running away.”
Hypnosis?
"Your traces in this world cannot be completely erased."
"Sui Sui has already acquired hacking skills; she can easily find out your relationship with a simple tap of her finger."
"Even if you erase everything, and have everyone keep it from her or make up a lie, do you think Ruan Ruan wouldn't notice?"
Su Zhu became increasingly angry as she spoke.
That bastard!
They actually want to make Ruan Ruan lose her memory!
To hell with caring and loving him, pshaw!
“If you’re really a man, then take the initiative to solve this problem. What kind of love is it to wallow in despair here?” Su Zhu said bluntly, without giving any face. “Don’t give me any excuse about your body being out of control. People who are truly mentally ill get treatment and solutions, but you’re just thinking about escaping.”
After saying those words, Su Zhu left decisively.
He originally just wanted to put on a show and let Huo Zhizhou know that his actions had hurt Ruan Ruan, but after hearing his words, he couldn't control his anger.
This is love? Love my ass!
