Chapter 777 I'm not you, I don't have so many scruples

"Have you arrived at your friend's house yet?" Huo Sinian asked, his gaze fixed on Lin Tan, feigning ignorance.

Lin Tan: "We've arrived, but the person isn't home."

Huo Sinian, cooperating with her in the performance, said: "Then wouldn't I have made a wasted trip?"

Lin Tan said calmly, "I didn't force you to come with me."

“Then go there now,” Huo Sinian continued. “I’ll take you.”

“She’s with me,” Jiang Ruan said, her tone flat yet distant. “President Huo, please feel free to do as you please.”

After saying that, she led Lin Tan into her car.

A short while later.

The car disappeared from Huo Sinian's sight.

Seeing that Huo Zhizhou was still standing there, Huo Sinian, dressed in a suit and exuding a refined and scholarly air, spoke up: "Aren't you coming along?"

“Someone has to keep an eye on you.” Huo Zhizhou was casual and relaxed, and his long trench coat made him look particularly noble and handsome.

Huo Sinian: "Looking at me?"

Huo Zhizhou leaned on the railing, looking down at the river without saying a word.

Huo Sinian stood beside him, his words dripping with venom: "Are you Jiang Ruan's watchdog?"

Huo Zhizhou remained unaffected: "Are you the door?"

Huo Sinian: "You really want to be a dog?"

Huo Zhizhou: "A watchdog is better than a stray dog."

Huo Sinian: "Which teacher taught you to use words like that?"

Huo Zhizhou: "Life teacher".

Huo Sinian paused and glanced at him sideways.

If Huo Zhizhou in the past was the aloof and scheming Second Young Master Huo, then he is now Huo Zhizhou who possesses power but has a pure heart; he is a person with a down-to-earth personality.

"Still haven't won Jiang Ruan over?" He changed the subject, transforming into his usual older brother persona.

Huo Zhizhou: "You didn't manage to win over Lin Tan either."

Huo Sinian: "I can take her back and register her on my household registration book anytime."

Huo Zhizhou wasn't surprised that he would say that: "Don't be too confident."

Huo Sinian's eyes behind his glasses were unfathomable: "I'm not you, I don't have so many scruples."

“It’s not a matter of concern,” Huo Zhizhou said.

During the cooling-off period, he would use all sorts of despicable means to remarry her and get a new marriage certificate. Even if her mother was Jiang An and her father was Li Zhishen, he could still get it.

At worst, we'll have to pay a relatively high cost.

But after all that has happened, he has come to understand more and more that loving someone means making her happy.

For the past two or three months, she has been very at peace with herself.

As long as he didn't do anything excessive, she treated him as a friend.

Even if Ruan Ruan doesn't remarry him, he would still be willing to stay with her and Sui Sui for the rest of his life, until the end of his life, living such a warm, peaceful, and harmonious life.

“I understand. You’re afraid she’d rather die than be with you,” Huo Sinian said.

Huo Zhizhou: "Have you ever been in love?"

Huo Sinian: "What would I do with that thing?"

Huo Zhizhou: "If you've ever loved me, you'll know that all your current thoughts are wrong."

"You, a failed marriage, are teaching me about love?" Huo Sinian pushed up his glasses, unimpressed. "What's the difference between this and a kitchen killer teaching someone how to cook?"

"Whatever you say." Huo Zhizhou didn't say anything more.

If it weren't for the fact that this person had helped him before, he wouldn't have bothered to waste his breath on him.

Huo Sinian glanced at him sideways.

Just as Huo Zhizhou was about to get into the car and leave, Huo Sinian asked one more question: "Are you really not going back to Jingzhou?"

Huo Zhizhou: "I won't reply."

Huo Sinian: "They are my parents after all."

Huo Zhizhou paused, then spoke: "The Huo family has given you everything, including them."

He left the Huo family with nothing.

His current wealth and connections are all the result of his own hard work.

As for his life, he paid for it the time he was thrown into the river.

"If you don't want Lin Tan to be pursued by Qin Mo, then change your current abnormal views on love," Huo Zhizhou reminded him before getting into the car. "Otherwise, you'll only be able to live in longing for him for the rest of your life, just like your name suggests."

Huo Sinian paused.

miss?

Si Nian.

Before he could speak, Huo Zhizhou's car had already started and driven away.

Secretary Ye walked over and asked, "Boss, shall we go to the branch office or the hotel?"

Huo Sinian: "Hotel."

Secretary Ye: "Okay."

They left shortly afterward.

On the way to the hotel, Huo Sinian thought about Huo Zhizhou's last words, and his eyes became more thoughtful.

Huo Zhizhou wouldn't have said that suddenly if nothing had happened.

While pondering various thoughts, he looked at Secretary Ye in the passenger seat and asked, "Has Qin Mo shown any unusual behavior in the past two or three months?"

“Nothing unusual,” Secretary Ye replied based on her investigation. “It’s the same routine as always, going between the company and home, and occasionally visiting my parents’ house.”

"You didn't contact Lin Tan?" Huo Sinian was somewhat surprised.

“It happened twice,” Secretary Ye said. “Once at Miss Lin Tan’s current company, and once at Miss Lin Tan’s current residence. Neither time was long.”

Huo Sinian looked out the window through his glasses, his mind still racing.

"However..." Secretary Ye was unsure whether to report it.

Huo Sinian: "Speak."

Secretary Ye looked at the tablet in her hand and reported everything: "Miss Lin Tan's popularity has increased a lot recently compared to the previous two months. I wonder if it's because she succeeded in the audition."

"The one directed by Ning?" Huo Sinian asked.

Secretary Ye: "Yes, Miss Lin Tan only auditioned for that one film recently."

Huo Sinian: "Investigate further and see if Lin Tan and Qin Mo have any other connections."

Zhizhou wouldn't offer reminders for no reason.

Based on the information found, Qin Mo doesn't seem to be pursuing anyone.

"Okay," Secretary Ye replied.

At the same time.

The people discussing their topic were on Jiang Ruanche.

"Thank you for today." Lin Tan sat in the back seat with Jiang Ruan. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how to get rid of Huo Sinian."

If it were the same kind of relationship as before, it would be easy to break it off.

But today, Huo Sinian seems to have taken the wrong medicine.

"It's nothing, just a small favor," Jiang Ruan replied, casually adding, "Does he do this often?"

Lin Tan: "Today."

Jiang Ruan nodded: "If you need any help later, just call me. If I don't answer, call Mo Mo."

Lin Tan said "okay".

The two then chatted about other things.

As they chatted, Lin Tan thought about Jiang Ruan and Huo Zhizhou coming together, and asked, "Have you made up with President Huo?"

Jiang Ruan hadn't spoken yet.

Mo Mo, who was driving, spoke first: "No."

“If remarriage is called reconciliation, then no,” Jiang Ruan said herself. “We’re just ordinary friends now.”

Lin Tan: "I see."

Jiang Ruan: "And you?"

Lin Tan: "Hmm?"

Jiang Ruan, thinking about Qin Mo's request for help, asked, "Have you been in contact with Qin Mo lately?"

“Rarely,” Lin Tan said honestly. “I’m busy, and he’s busy too.”

“It’s quite a coincidence that he’s at my house chatting with my grandpa right now,” Jiang Ruan said.

Lin Tan paused.

Thinking about what Madam Yu had told her, she refused: "Could you drop me off up ahead later? I still have work to finish at the company, and I need to get there quickly."
