Chapter 764 Huo Zhizhou's Little Calculation

"Mommy!" Sui Sui was the first to notice Jiang Ruan returning.

The other two also turned their heads in unison.

They then got up together.

Huo Zhizhou: "I'm back."

Li Zhishen walked towards her: "Are you tired? Let Daddy give you a shoulder massage."

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Jiang Ruan looked at her with a puzzled expression.

dad?

Isn't he afraid of getting punished by his mother?

"How does it feel? Is the pressure right?" Li Zhishen had already started, but he was careful not to hurt his daughter, so he softened his grip. "Do you need a little more pressure?"

"Thank you, Uncle Li, I'm not tired." Jiang Ruan cleverly dodged the question; she was simply overwhelmed by such enthusiasm. "Where's Mom?"

"An'an is upstairs on the phone," Li Zhishen said, like a kind old father. "She'll be down in a little while."

Jiang Ruan nodded.

Li Zhishen handed him another glass of water: "Would you like some water?"

Jiang Ruan accepted it: "Thank you."

Li Zhishen: "I'm being too polite with my father; we don't talk about these things as family."

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Jiang Ruan was even more confused.

He never called himself "Dad" this many times in a month before.

In fact, most of the time when I spoke, I was just being opportunistic, saying what I wanted to say and then leaving, afraid that she would deny it or that my mother would find out. How come I said it so many times in just two minutes today?

Or is it...?

What terrible thing happened to her during her work hours?

Huo Zhizhou was equally puzzled. He knew Li Zhishen's awkward situation here, but his current reaction was truly strange.

"Are you hungry? Come sit down and eat." As Li Zhishen spoke, he led her to the dining room, where a table was set with dishes that looked and smelled delicious. "I'll go call your mother."

After saying that, he went upstairs.

Jiang was completely unaware of the whole thing.

She stood still and looked at Grandpa Qin beside her: "Grandpa."

Mr. Qin: "Hmm?"

Jiang Ruan: "Did something big happen today?"

Grandpa Qin thought for a moment: "Does the jewelry that Sui Sui bought for you count?"

Jiang Ruan: "Where are Mom and Uncle Li?"

"No," Old Master Qin shook his head. "However, I spent some time this afternoon playing chess and drinking tea with Lao Chi. I don't know if anything happened during that time."

Jiang Ruan didn't ask any more questions.

Just then.

Huo Zhizhou walked over.

He was wearing a black shirt, which made him look both ascetic and aloof. He stood next to Jiang Ruan and asked gently, "Are you busy today?"

Jiang Ruan: "It's alright."

Huo Zhizhou: "I sent you a message."

Jiang Ruan: "I saw it."

Huo Zhizhou: "I haven't received your reply."

Jiang Ruan: "I don't want to go back."

Huo Zhizhou: "Well, as long as the phone isn't broken."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

Old Master Qin: "..."

For the next half hour.

The whole family ate dinner together.

At first, the atmosphere was quite harmonious, but as the meal progressed, it turned into—

"Ruanruan, this is delicious."

"This is delicious too."

"Try this, Dad had it specially made for you."

"Sui Sui said you've been liking to eat this lately."

Li Zhishen and Huo Zhizhou were both serving food to Jiang Ruan, and in no time her plate was piled high with food, enough to make a small mountain.

Looking at the ingredients in front of her, Jiang Ruan fell silent.

"Xiao Zhou, get Ruan Ruan a new set of tableware." Jiang An knew she didn't want to eat, so she said to the maid, "Take the food in front of her out of the kitchen to prepare."

Xiao Zhou: "Yes, madam."

The next second.

All the dishes in front of Jiang Ruan were gone.

She looked at the empty space in front of her, then at Jiang An sitting opposite her, and felt a warm feeling in her heart.

"Don't assume you're being nice to Ruan Ruan." Jiang An didn't give the two any face at all, speaking bluntly, "Just because you like to eat something doesn't mean she wants to eat it."

Sui Sui nodded in agreement: "Yes!"

Huo Zhizhou raised an eyebrow.

Didn't he tell him that Ruan Ruan has been craving that dish every night lately?

Fortunately, after Jiang An's words, Li Zhishen and Huo Zhizhou finally calmed down.

Jiang Ruan had finally eaten a normal meal.

Huo Zhizhou also realized from dinner that Li Zhishen's claim of being Jiang Ruan's father was most likely authorized by Jiang An; otherwise, Li Zhishen's use of the word "father" during dinner would have earned him a sharp glare from Jiang An.

But Jiang An remained calm.

It's like nothing happened.

It's highly likely they want to use Li Zhishen to restrain him.

With these thoughts in mind, Huo Zhizhou finished his meal. He didn't linger there; after a brief greeting and a few pleasantries with Jiang Ruan, he planned to leave.

As he watched him bid farewell to Jiang An and Old Master Qin, Li Zhishen frowned.

This guy.

Is it okay?

Didn't you even consider staying?

"Sui Sui." Li Zhishen called out to him while Huo Zhizhou was talking to Jiang An and Old Master Qin.

Sui Sui was about to go find Jiang Ruan, but she had to stop when he called her: "Grandpa Li."

"Didn't you dislike your father before?" Li Zhishen squatted down to be at eye level with him. "Why have you been helping him get on this side lately?"

“I didn’t help Daddy, I helped Mommy,” Sui Sui said.

Li Zhishen: "?"

Li Zhishen thought for a moment: "How should I put it?"

Sui Sui didn't feel there was anything to hide and said directly, "I made a deal with him. He transferred all his assets to Mommy's name, and I fulfilled some of his small requests."

"All of them?" Li Zhishen was somewhat surprised.

Sui Sui nodded: "Yes, including but not limited to all property now and in the future."

Li Zhishen was surprised.

If we really gave him all of it, wouldn't that kid starve?

After all, according to Sui Sui's statement, everything in the future would belong to Jiang Ruan.

“Grandpa Li,” Sui Sui called out to him.

Li Zhishen: "Hmm?"

Sui Sui: "Is there anything else? If not, I'll go upstairs to find Mommy."

Li Zhishen: "Go."

Year after year, I climb the stairs.

As he approached Jiang Ruan's study, he sent a message to Huo Zhizhou using his children's smartwatch: "Grandpa Li just asked me, and I told him what you instructed."

Huo Zhizhou only saw this message after saying goodbye to Jiang An and the others.

He replied with an "Mm" and walked outside.

Before he could get into the car Lin Bei had driven, Li Zhishen stopped him at the door.

"You've gone to great lengths to get here." Li Zhishen leaned against the pillar, his gaze sweeping over Sui Sui from head to toe. "You're lying to Sui Sui, aren't you?"

Huo Zhizhou: "What?"

Li Zhishen: "You told Sui Sui that you would transfer all your assets to Ruan Ruan now and in the future. Are you really going to transfer them all?"

If all the property goes to Ruan Ruan, this kid won't be able to afford the expenses for all the cars and houses.

At that point, forget about getting Jiang Yulin and the others to do things for him.

He can't even afford to pay salaries.

"Hmm." Huo Zhizhou nodded. "Do you want to turn around?"

Li Zhishen: "?"

Huo Zhizhou said in a serious tone, "After we move here, we'll come here together to beg for food."

Li Zhishen: "?"

A series of question marks appeared on Li Zhishen's forehead: "What?"

"After I hand over all my assets and all my future monthly income to Ruanruan, I can only rely on begging here to make a living." Huo Zhizhou said pitifully, but his face was calm and composed.
