Chapter 701 Jiang Ruan Says Let's Try Again

Jiang Ruan: "..."

Jiang Ruan thought it through and asked, "Did he cause you trouble?"

"It wasn't that he was troublesome, but his words and actions were infuriating." Su Zhu didn't hide anything from her and told her everything. "I talked to him according to the plan we had, do you know what he said?"

Jiang Ruan: "What?"

Su Zhu was furious: "He said he wanted Shen Yuanqiao to erase him from your memory."

Jiang Ruan was taken aback.

This was something she had never imagined.

Su Zhu continued, recounting the entire content of their conversation.

"Isn't it infuriating?" Su Zhu complained after saying that. "She used to be such a decisive person, how did she suddenly become like this?"

In her mind, taking things by force was Huo Zhizhou's style.

Or they might relentlessly pursue and refuse to let go.

But now that things have turned out this way, Ruan Ruan still has to take the blame.

“I didn’t understand love before, but I do now.” Jiang Ruan understands him and knows why he has become like this. “I used to only think about myself, but now I’ve learned to put myself in his shoes.”

If Huo Zhizhou now and Huo Zhizhou before the divorce could switch places, they wouldn't have any conflicts.

But some things just come late.

"Don't be angry," Jiang Ruan comforted her.

“Sometimes I really wish you didn’t know him.” Su Zhu’s heart was filled with mixed feelings. “That way you could live your life in Haicheng without any psychological burden.”

Jiang Ruan lowered her eyes: "But we've been together for five years and gone through so much."

When the news of the divorce first broke, she felt she didn't understand Huo Zhizhou.

But now, she can see his thoughts.

He naturally knew that these situations were not intentional on his part.

“If, and I mean if,” Su Zhu had been confident, but after today’s conversation, she was a little unsure, “what would you do if Huo Zhizhou continued in this state?”

"I don't know." Jiang Ruan's thoughts were fragmented. "Maybe I'll call him occasionally as a source of emotional support, to encourage him to keep living..."

“But this could very well make him think that you still have feelings for him after a few times, and that he still has a chance,” Su Zhu said sharply. “And that’s why he might come back to Haicheng to pursue you.”

“Yes…” Jiang Ruan had also considered this point. “So after noticing his tendency, we need to withdraw in time, draw a clear line, and tell him that if he crosses the line again, we will not care.”

Su Zhu looked at her without saying anything.

Her intuition told her that her own daughter couldn't be so heartless.

If Huo Zhizhou continues to be inhuman like before, Ruan Ruan will definitely be able to...

However, during this period, Huo Zhizhou became a little more human and did some things.

"How about... you try to forget him?" Although Su Zhu despised Huo Zhizhou's idea, she didn't want her to be influenced by Huo Zhizhou. "Before you forget him, record a video so that you don't investigate the identity of the child's father."

Jiang Ruan shook her head: "I don't want things to get out of control."

Perhaps it's because he's been a board member for too long.

Or perhaps they've tasted the sweetness of being in a position of power.

Right now, she doesn't want anything to get out of control, and she doesn't want anything to be outside her calculations.

Su Zhu let out a long sigh.

There's really no other way.

As she predicted, Huo Zhizhou should be moved by what she said, make changes, and live a positive life so that Ruan Ruan wouldn't worry or have any concerns. That's the kind of responsibility he should have.

But as things stand, she doesn't know how far Huo Zhizhou can go.

"It's alright," Jiang Ruan said calmly. "Let nature take its course."

She did her best within reasonable limits. If she still couldn't cheer Huo Zhizhou up, then it was his problem. She couldn't sacrifice the rest of her life to cheer him up when she didn't love him anymore.

She's not that noble, nor does she possess that compassion.

"I'll try again in a couple of days." Su Zhu still didn't want Jiang Ruan to worry too much about the scumbag. It would be best to find another way to solve the problem. "If he still doesn't react after I try, then it's up to him to decide."

"No need for all that trouble, just focus on your own things." Jiang Ruan didn't want her to worry about her like that. "I'll figure something out here."

Su Zhu felt that this was a dead end.

Only Huo Zhizhou himself could figure it out.

Unfortunately, in his current state, it's a miracle he doesn't even get stuck on things, let alone understand them.

Just then.

There was a knock on the door.

Jiang Ruan and Su Zhu looked up and saw Mo Mo standing at the door, his face as expressionless as ever.

"Boss," he said, taking the initiative to speak.

Jiang Ruan asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Mo Mo: "Hand over my ex-husband to my captain."

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Su Zhu: "?"

“Our captain is really good at teaching people how to behave,” Mo Mo said seriously. “She’ll be back from retirement soon, and once she takes action, my ex-husband won’t be able to stay in this state even if he wants to.”

"No need," Jiang Ruan refused without hesitation.

It's not appropriate for outsiders to know too much about Huo Zhizhou's affairs.

Although Gu Sheng is a good person, he is not familiar with Huo Zhizhou.

"Are you worried that your ex-husband will be harmed by the captain?" Mo Mo asked directly.

“No,” Jiang Ruan answered his question. “Huo Zhizhou is not familiar with your captain and they don’t communicate much. It’s not appropriate to bother her. Besides, Huo Zhizhou himself wouldn’t let others interfere too much in his affairs.”

Mo Mo: "Something's wrong with you."

Jiang Ruan: "Don't just pick up a sentence and use it indiscriminately."

Mo Mo: "Something's not right with you."

Before Jiang Ruan could speak, Mo Mo said, "Before you came, you weren't very concerned about your ex-husband's condition. Your plan was to talk things over if things went well, and let things be if they didn't."

"Yes," Jiang Ruan replied honestly.

“But now you care about him in other ways,” Mo Mo added.

“If everything could go perfectly according to the predetermined route, that would be a program written in code,” Jiang Ruan said. “I am human, so there will be occasional deviations from the plan.”

Mo Mo didn't know what to say for a moment.

If Tang Bai were here, we could discuss it further.

“It’s not time to trouble you, Captain, with this matter yet,” Jiang Ruan said proactively. “I’ll give it another try. If there’s still no result in the end, and he’s willing on his own, I’ll contact Gu Sheng and discuss it with her.”

Mo Mo and Su Zhu stared at her.

Their gazes were so intense that Jiang Ruan was momentarily bewildered: "What's wrong?"

Su Zhu exposed her: "Alright, you didn't intend to do that."

Mo Mo: "Yes."

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Yes, she does.

She wouldn't have said that without him.

“If you really had that in mind, you wouldn’t have added the line that Huo Zhizhou was also willing.” Su Zhu understood her and naturally knew the meaning behind every word she said. “You know very well that he himself wouldn’t agree.”

"Not necessarily." Jiang Ruan's voice was low, and she didn't seem to be in a good mood.

Su Zhu was about to retort when she remembered Huo Zhizhou's "concern" for her daughter.

If it were Ruan Ruan who asked, he might actually agree...

"How do you want to try?" Su Zhu thought about her first question.

“Talk to him again. If calling or texting him occasionally helps him behave, then go ahead and do it.” Jiang Ruan wasn’t against texting, “as long as he can control himself and not push his luck.”
