Chapter 763 Li Zhishen Succeeds

Chapter 763 Li Zhishen Succeeds

A simple sentence instantly brought Li Zhishen's previously lifeless heart to life.

His gaze fell on Jiang An, and he tentatively and cautiously voiced his guess: "You mean I can say Ruan Ruan is my daughter? You won't kick me out?"

"I didn't say anything," Jiang An said as she walked forward.

Li Zhishen quickened his pace to catch up, unable to suppress the smile on his face: "Thank you, An'an."

Jiang An didn't speak.

Personally, she didn't want Huo Zhizhou to have any further relationship with Ruan Ruan.

But she also knew very well that she wasn't Ruan Ruan and couldn't make decisions for her. There was also Sui Sui between them, and Huo Zhizhou treated the child well too, so it was impossible for the two of them to completely draw a line.

That's how it is.

It would be better to let Li Zhishen fight him.

"Oh, right." Li Zhishen remembered something and quickly chased after them.

Jiang An's expression remained calm, not much different from usual.

Li Zhishen voiced his thoughts: "If Huo Zhizhou uses Sui Sui to stay here, can I stay here too?"

Jiang An stopped in his tracks.

“I’m just worried that he might go to Ruan Ruan’s room in the middle of the night,” Li Zhishen quickly explained. “You and Mo Mo can take precautions against other things, but what if he tries to pick the lock at two or three in the morning?”

"What do you think?" Jiang An countered.

She allowed him to say those fabricated and baseless things in the hope that he and Huo Zhizhou could suppress each other, but if they couldn't, these permissions could be taken back.

“I will keep an eye on him.” Li Zhishen quickly gave his answer. “If he wants to stay, I will stay with him. I will stay in whichever room he stays in, and I will never leave his side.”

Jiang An remained silent.

This clearly shows that they approve of his approach.

"Look how obedient I am, can you give me some kind of job here?" Li Zhishen was a typical opportunist, very skilled at climbing the social ladder. "Like Mo Mo and the others."

As long as he can stay here long-term, crushing Huo Zhizhou will be a piece of cake.

Jiang An: "Okay."

Li Zhishen: "Really?"

Jiang An's expression remained unchanged: "We're still short of someone for the night shift in the southwest direction, so it's perfect for you to go."

Li Zhishen: "..."

Southwest direction.

It is several kilometers away from the residences within the estate.

It takes several minutes to drive there...

"It's better for me to stay here and keep an eye on Huo Zhizhou." Li Zhishen changed the subject, no longer daring to ask for any position. "That kid has a lot of schemes and tricks up his sleeve. I'm afraid Ruan Ruan will suffer if I'm not around."

Jiang An saw right through his little scheme, but didn't expose him.

For the next few minutes, Li Zhishen followed her, but Jiang An found him annoying and chased him away.

Li Zhishen took the initiative to go find Old Master Qin.

He knew very well that he had finally gotten the opportunity to "fabricate something out of thin air," and if he didn't listen or behave himself, he would most likely be kicked out and never be able to come back.

In the garden.

Grandpa Qin was having tea and playing chess with Grandpa Chi.

Li Zhishen gave a brief greeting and went to sit down.

"So Zhishen and An'an have made up?" Old Master Chi asked while playing chess.

Li Zhishen: "I suppose so."

Old Master Qin: "?"

Old Master Qin glanced at him.

So, you're not afraid of getting beaten up?

"When do you plan to officially acknowledge Jiang Ruan as your daughter?" Old Master Chi continued chatting.

Although everyone in Haicheng knows that Jiang Ruan is Li Zhishen's daughter.

But it has never been officially announced.

There wasn't even a proper banquet.

“You should ask my daughter,” Li Zhishen said bluntly, “when will she acknowledge me back?”

Grandpa Chi paused for a moment.

She looked at him with some surprise.

Li Zhishen crossed his legs, exuding a casual air: "This is our home."

In short.

Grandpa Chi understood instantly.

"Your dad doesn't have any objections?"

"I don't know," Li Zhishen said casually. "Whether I have an opinion or not is none of my business."

Ever since Li Chengxuan harmed Ruan Ruan, and the old man still wanted to protect her, he couldn't be bothered to care anymore.

After that, the group didn't say anything more and just played their chess quietly.

Half an hour later.

The game is over.

Old Master Chi was picked up by Chi Yuan.

After watching the two disappear from sight, Old Master Qin turned his gaze to Li Zhishen and said in a somewhat serious tone, "Weren't you afraid that An'an would be angry with what you just said?"

Li Zhishen feigned ignorance: "What do you mean?"

Old Master Qin: Still pretending?

Li Zhishen: "An'an agrees."

Old Master Qin: "???"

Grandpa Qin looked puzzled and confused.

How could An'an possibly agree?

“She even agreed to let me say that Ruan Ruan is my daughter.” Li Zhishen was a little smug, and he couldn’t suppress the smile on his lips. “If it’s appropriate, I could even stay here.”

"It's still daytime," Old Master Qin gestured to the still-dark sky, "What are you daydreaming about?"

Li Zhishen snorted lightly: "Believe it or not."

Seeing his confidence, Old Master Qin began to have doubts.

Could it be true?

"And you?" Li Zhishen changed the subject.

Old Master Qin looked puzzled: "What about me?"

Thinking about what Huo Zhizhou had said, Li Zhishen took the initiative to ask, "I heard that Huo Zhizhou called you Grandpa, and you responded?"

Old Master Qin paused.

A hint of unease quickly rose on his face.

If Huo Zhizhou hadn't discovered he was eavesdropping, he wouldn't have felt guilty and agreed.

"I'll answer if you call me Dad," Old Master Qin said, trying to salvage the situation.

"Dream on." Li Zhishen blurted out, "An'an didn't even call you."

Grandpa Qin: "She forgave me."

Li Zhishen: "I didn't call you either."

Old Master Qin: "..."

Old Master Qin: "Believe it or not, I'll have An'an kick you out."

Li Zhishen: "She can't be bothered with our unreasonable squabbling."

Old Master Qin thought about it.

That seems to be the case.

“An’an has a lot of opinions about him. If you don’t want her to have opinions about you as her father, don’t be nice to Huo Zhizhou in the future,” Li Zhishen said seriously. “Give him the cold shoulder as much as possible.”

Old Master Qin frowned slightly: "Are you sure this isn't just your personal opinion?"

Li Zhishen: "Guess why An'an allowed me to say here that Ruan Ruan is my daughter."

Old Master Qin hesitated.

After much thought...

He looked up at him.

“An’an didn’t want to put Ruan Ruan in a difficult position, so she didn’t kick him out,” Li Zhishen continued, his ability to make up stories quite impressive. “But because he hurt Ruan Ruan, she still cares about him.”

Old Master Qin thought about all the things that had happened in the past.

An An really didn't like Huo Zhizhou.

"Think about it yourself, why would I go see him?" Li Zhishen said before leaving, leaving Old Master Qin there deep in thought. "Don't agree to things he says so easily in the future."

Old Master Qin tried to say something, but Li Zhishen had already disappeared.

His intuition told him that wasn't the case.

But what this kid said makes sense.

He could tell that An'an didn't particularly approve of Huo Zhizhou, but it wasn't to the point that Li Zhishen disliked him as much.

Amidst various thoughts.

It was already evening.

Jiang Ruan also came home from get off work.

As soon as I got home, I saw Huo Zhizhou and Li Zhishen sitting together. The two seemed to be chatting casually, but their eyes were filled with a sharp edge, and the atmosphere was very strange.
