Chapter 700 Su Zhu Gets Angry

"Is what Miss Su said considered PUA?" Lin Bei whispered at the corner. "The BOSS's current state is not something he deliberately caused. If he could control himself, he wouldn't have ruined himself like this."

Jiang Yu watched Su Zhu walk towards them without saying a word.

Lin Bei didn't notice and was still feeling indignant on Huo Zhizhou's behalf: "Besides, Miss Jiang's worries are her own emotions. If someone has to adjust themselves just because they're worried about the BOSS, wouldn't that put pressure on the BOSS?"

Jiang Yu remained silent.

Lin Bei nudged his elbow: "Why aren't you saying anything?"

Jiang Yu ignored him and nodded slightly to Su Zhu, who came in front of them, and greeted her politely: "Miss Su."

“If your CEO Huo hadn’t been using the pretext of doing it for Ruan Ruan’s sake, his hunger strikes and self-harm would have had nothing to do with me.” Su Zhu heard the whole story and spoke ruthlessly, “But since he used Ruan Ruan’s name, he has to accept what I said.”

"That's also because..." Lin Bei tried to explain.

“Miss Su is right.” Assistant Jiang interrupted him and took over the conversation, remaining polite and gentlemanly throughout.

Lin Bei: "?"

Lin Bei frowned and glanced at him.

Why is this guy taking the side of others?

Su Zhu glanced at it and left.

After watching her disappear from sight, Lin Bei expressed his dissatisfaction to Jiang Yu: "What did you mean just now? She said those things about the BOSS, why did you agree with her?"

“Miss Su is right,” Assistant Jiang said.

"That's a fallacy." Except when Jiang Ruan was around, Lin Bei would favor Jiang Ruan, but otherwise he would unconditionally side with Huo Zhizhou, after all, he was his boss. "We are the BOSS's people."

Jiang, the assistant, didn't reply and walked towards Huo Zhizhou.

When he arrived, Huo Zhizhou was sitting there deep in thought, clearly pondering what Su Zhu had just said.

“BOSS.” Assistant Jiang walked over.

Huo Zhizhou snapped out of his daze, glanced at the person beside him, and asked in a low voice, "Weren't you playing with Sui Sui?"

"Young Master went to play with Lin Feng," Assistant Jiang told him truthfully. "He asked me to come and keep you company."

Huo Zhizhou didn't say anything more, his mind filled with what Su Zhu had just said.

No one had ever told him these things before, and he had never thought about them. Now it seems that coming here and getting into this emotional state just to avoid causing trouble for Ruan Ruan was a bit presumptuous of him.

"What do you think of what you just said?" he asked, but his gaze was unfocused and staring into the void.

Assistant Jiang paused for a moment: "Just now?"

Huo Zhizhou exposed him: "I know you and Lin Bei heard it."

Assistant Jiang: "..."

Lin Bei, hidden in the shadows: "..."

"Don't consider my feelings, don't treat me like your boss." Huo Zhizhou wanted to hear the truth. "Do you think I am really as Su Zhu described?"

"No!" Lin Bei was the first to speak.

Huo Zhizhou glanced at him sideways; his face was as still as a pool of water, showing little emotional fluctuation.

Lin Bei said directly: "You are just an ordinary person. You have done your best. As for the other consequences, they were not your intention."

He witnessed the BOSS's suffering.

Since arriving here, he has clearly missed Miss Jiang, but because Miss Jiang doesn't want to see him, and because he's afraid he won't be able to suppress his longing for her, he's forced himself to stay here.

Such behavior and actions would be very difficult for him.

"And you?" Huo Zhizhou asked Jiang Yu.

"From your perspective, this is Lin Bei's view; from Miss Jiang's perspective, this is Miss Su's view." Assistant Jiang spoke impartially and earnestly, "There is no way to have the best of both worlds."

The boss wouldn't do this unless he was forced to.

They know him.

But Miss Su is Miss Jiang's best friend, so she naturally considers Miss Jiang's feelings.

"Yes," Huo Zhizhou began to analyze himself deeply, "but I just can't do it."

Some people can still live a good life after leaving their partner.

Even if I miss someone terribly, I can control myself very well.

He could probably have done it in the past, but it's too difficult for him now.

"Don't blame yourself too much," Lin Bei said, not wanting him to feel that way. "We'll just face it positively."

"You guys go ahead and get busy." Huo Zhizhou had roughly learned some things through the brief conversation and had a rough idea of ​​what was going on. "I'll think about it myself."

Lin Bei tried to speak.

Assistant Jiang shook his head at him.

Only you can figure out your own problems.

No matter how much they say, it's not as good as the BOSS's own deep thinking.

"If Sui Sui looks for me, just send me a message and tell him to come upstairs," Huo Zhizhou said before leaving, remembering that there was still a child there.

Jiang Special Assistant agreed to all of them.

Huo Zhizhou hummed in agreement and went upstairs.

Watching him leave, Lin Bei felt a pang of resentment: "Why didn't you give me an explanation just now?"

Jiang's Special Assistant: "There's no need."

Lin Bei: "Why not? If I were in this situation, I would definitely want my people to stand on my side and speak up for me, instead of remaining neutral like you."

“So you’re a bodyguard, not Young Master Huo,” Assistant Jiang said directly.

Lin Bei ground his back teeth: "You!"

Assistant Jiang: "Did I say something wrong?"

Lin Bei tried to refute, but couldn't find a reason: "You're right, who can find fault with our Assistant Jiang?"

“You don’t need to be sarcastic here,” Assistant Jiang bluntly exposed.

Lin Bei snorted coldly and turned his face away.

I stopped talking to him.

"I'm going out for a bit later, so please keep an eye on things here." Remembering Huo Zhizhou's recent state, Assistant Jiang, after much deliberation, decided to take the risk. "Call me if anything happens."

Lin Bei: "?"

Lin Bei frowned: "Why are you going out?"

Assistant Jiang looked around and, after confirming that this area was outside the surveillance coverage, said, "Let's talk to Huo Sinian."

Lin Bei hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

I finally agreed.

"good."

Assistant Jiang hummed in agreement.

Lin Bei, thinking about Huo Zhizhou's state, asked, "Have you come up with an excuse for the boss?"

"I mentioned it briefly at noon." Assistant Jiang was always meticulous in his work. "I'll just tell him again later."

Lin Bei didn't ask any further questions.

Jiang Yu's excuse is definitely valid.

A moment later.

Jiang's assistant then spoke to Huo Zhizhou.

Huo Zhizhou had no doubts and let him go.

Jiang Yu gave Lin Bei and Lin Feng some instructions and then left.

In the past, he would never have considered cooperating with Huo Sinian, but judging from recent events and the BOSS's attitude towards Huo Sinian, Huo Sinian, his older brother, should be alright.

Even if we cooperate, there won't be any major risks.

The only risk is that they will have to bear the BOSS's wrath if he finds out.

These things are nothing compared to the BOSS's happiness and health.

When he left, Su Zhu had also arrived at the hotel where Jiang Ruan was staying.

Seeing her lack of enthusiasm, Jiang Ruan poured her a glass of water and placed it in front of her, asking with concern, "Did the talk not go well?"

"It was more than just unpleasant." Su Zhu propped her head up with one hand, looking completely dejected. "Now I just feel like I was really blind back then. How could I have thought he was such a perfect man?"
