Chapter 751 Was he provoked by Huo Zhizhou?
“Because you were kicked out of this house,” Li Zhishen said.
“That makes sense,” Huo Zhizhou replied.
Li Zhishen raised his eyebrows slightly.
Seeing that he still looked calm, I couldn't quite figure him out.
“Both Mom and Ruan Ruan were kicked out of Haicheng, so it’s normal for me, Ruan Ruan’s partner, to be kicked out as well,” Huo Zhizhou said unhurriedly. “President Li, please don’t mistake the family outside for Ruan Ruan’s.”
If it were before, Li Zhishen would have already fallen for it.
But after so much time, he had gained a new understanding of Huo Zhizhou, and simply said, "Partner? Does Ruan Ruan know about this?"
Huo Zhizhou: "I know."
Li Zhishen raised his chin: "Shall we go in and ask?"
Huo Zhizhou: "You can ask him yourself."
"Feeling guilty?" Li Zhishen leaned over and rested his hand on the car window, looking calm and collected. "I understand. After all, if I go in alone, you can argue that I'm talking nonsense, but if you come in with me, you can't argue."
Huo Zhizhou looked at him with his dark eyes, his emotions completely calm.
Li Zhishen chuckled lightly: "What, did I say something wrong?"
Huo Zhizhou: "I've found the second reason why Mom doesn't like you."
Li Zhishen: "?"
Huo Zhizhou: "Judging from your words, you seem to be the kind of person who says he likes someone a lot in public, but doesn't dare to admit it in front of your mother."
Li Zhishen did not respond.
It's not that I'm afraid.
He said that An'an would beat him up if he said that.
Even though they hadn't seen each other for over twenty years, he still had great faith in her combat prowess.
Not to mention she could stop him from entering at any time.
“I’m different from you. I will openly admit my feelings for Ruan Ruan.” Huo Zhizhou’s eyes were honest. He had come to a lot of understanding after this. “No matter who I’m in front of, I will.”
Li Zhishen wanted to refute.
But Huo Zhizhou's eyes were too sincere and too persistent.
He really dares.
"Why did you disappear for so long before being so generous?" Li Zhishen didn't know the inside story, and Jiang An hadn't told him either. "Was he deliberately playing hard to get?"
"You think your mother is playing hard to get even though she doesn't accept you?" Huo Zhizhou retorted.
Li Zhishen: "I'm asking you, not the other way around."
An'an would never play hard to get in her life.
At most, we'll kill him.
"How do you feel about your mother?" Huo Zhizhou subtly probed.
Li Zhishen: "Anyway, it's deeper than yours towards Ruan Ruan."
Huo Zhizhou: "Really?"
Li Zhishen: "Of course."
Huo Zhizhou: "I'll die without Ruan Ruan, what about you?"
Li Zhishen: "?"
Li Zhishen looked at him like he was looking at a delusional teenager.
“You won’t,” Huo Zhizhou pointed out bluntly. “After you forced your mother to abort Ruan Ruan, apart from occasionally going to nightclubs to get drunk with a few friends, you lived a very good life. You were rich and powerful, and many people were chasing after you.”
Li Zhishen frowned slightly.
His gaze deepened as he watched.
“But when I’m away from Ruan Ruan, I can’t eat or sleep.” Huo Zhizhou used himself as an example to belittle Li Zhishen’s feelings to nothing. “If she hadn’t come to find me, I would have died.”
Li Zhishen stared at him: "You talk as if you know everything."
Huo Zhizhou: "I don't understand, but I just realized that you don't care that much about Mom."
Li Zhishen: "Guess why I've been single all these years."
Huo Zhizhou: "Is your single status necessarily related to your mother? What tangible benefits can you bring her?"
Li Zhishen: "And what about you? What benefits did you bring to Ruan Ruan?"
Huo Zhizhou: "Disappearing will give her freedom, and dying will give her property."
Li Zhishen laughed: "But you neither disappeared nor died."
Huo Zhizhou: "So we can only feel sorry for Ruan Ruan, who will not have her freedom for the time being."
Li Zhishen's eyes were jet black.
Before he could speak.
Huo Zhizhou looked at him and said, word by word, "I am gradually transferring my assets to Ruan Ruan. At most, all the shares and funds will be transferred within six months."
Li Zhishen wanted to say he didn't believe it.
This guy has so much wealth; even without the Huo Group, he still holds shares in many listed companies.
Half a year.
Indeed, those shares can be transferred gradually.
But if he transferred everything, he would truly have nothing left.
"I wonder what Chairman Li has done since reuniting with Mother?" Huo Zhizhou asked deliberately. "What has he done to make amends and show his sincerity, or is Chairman Li just all talk?"
Li Zhishen: "..."
Li Zhishen ground down his molars.
That brat.
It makes me want to punch him.
“If you don’t let me move my car, I’ll have to spend the night at Ruan Ruan’s place,” Huo Zhizhou said.
Li Zhi took a deep breath and gave the driver a wink.
The latter immediately cleared the way.
Huo Zhizhou looked at Lin Bei and said, "Let's go."
Lin Bei: "Okay."
He stepped on the gas and drove off quickly.
Only after the car had driven some distance did Lin Bei speak, "Aren't you afraid Chairman Li will be angry with what you said?"
Huo Zhizhou: "I have nothing to do with building bombs."
Lin Bei: "After all, he is Miss Jiang's father."
Huo Zhizhou: "Ruan Ruan didn't acknowledge him, and his mother doesn't like him either. He's just an outsider."
"Are you trying to provoke him into giving his property to Miss Jiang and Mrs. Jiang?" Assistant Jiang asked tentatively.
"It depends on what he thinks." Huo Zhizhou's expression was calm and natural. "If he thinks I deliberately embarrassed him, then his relationship with Mom can only end here. If he can reflect on those words, then there is still a chance."
He did want to fight for Ruanruan's inheritance.
Why make Ruan Ruan go to so much trouble when the person involved can figure it out for themselves?
Moreover...
He wanted to get a daughter for free without putting in any effort.
There's no such thing as a free lunch.
Li Zhishen is somewhat withdrawn now.
On the way to the manor, he sat in the car thinking about what Huo Zhizhou had said. He thought that there wasn't much trustworthy stuff coming out of that kid's mouth, so he sent someone to investigate.
During the investigation, he went to the living room.
Upon entering, one sees a group of people moving things.
He could tell from the packaging that it was a gift from Huo Zhizhou.
"You've met Huo Zhizhou?" Old Master Qin suddenly appeared.
"I saw them." Li Zhishen's interest was waning, his gaze falling on the gift boxes that hadn't been completely unloaded. "Didn't An'an and Ruan Ruan throw these out?"
Their personalities don't seem like they would accept anything from Huo Zhizhou.
What weird trick did that kid use?
"Why throw away the gifts we receive every year?" said Grandpa Qin.
Li Zhishen: "?"
Li Zhishen: "Year after year."
Grandpa Qin: "Do you regret not having a child you could use as an excuse?"
Li Zhishen: "..."
It's not a child who regrets not using it as an excuse.
It must be a pity that he and An'an couldn't properly move from the past to the present.
But given the situation at the time, he really couldn't think of a solution that would satisfy both sides.
An'an is amazing.
But some members of the Li family are also ruthless.
There are too many tricks, both overt and covert, and the old man is suppressing him, so he doesn't dare to gamble.
If they bet right, they'll be together; if they bet wrong, An'an will die.
He would rather give up the chance for them to be together than let her take such a big risk.
"Don't you think Huo Zhizhou is more like a human being than I am?" he suddenly asked. Old Master Qin was An'an and Ruan Ruan's relative, so he could see these things more clearly.
Old Master Qin: "?"
Old Master Qin: "Were you provoked by Huo Zhizhou?"
