Chapter 863 Huo Zhizhou's Advice

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Jiang Ruan was stunned for a moment.

I was surprised that he asked me that question.

"We can be friends," she replied.

She didn't know why Qin Mo asked the question, nor did she know what had happened between them. This answer was her personal appreciation and recognition of Lin Tan.

"Aren't you afraid she'll betray you?" Qin Mo asked.

Jiang Ruan stared at him for a while before speaking her mind: "I don't know what happened between you two, but Lin Tan would never betray you like this."

She didn't have much contact with Lin Tan.

But she could observe every conversation, behavior, and subtle gesture during their meetings.

“She’s not a perfect person, but she’s very resilient,” Jiang Ruan said. “She has her own bottom line and principles.”

"What if she's acting?" Qin Mo said softly.

Jiang Ruan looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Although she had been busy with work these past few days and hadn't paid much attention to Qin Mo and Lin Tan's affairs, given Qin Mo's personality, he shouldn't have asked such a question: "What's wrong between you two?"

Qin Mo remained silent.

A few seconds passed.

Thinking that Jiang Ruan was one of the few people who knew about Lin Tan, he told her about his relationship with Lin Tan.

Perhaps they were hoping to find a glimmer of hope in Lin Tan's resolute words.

Or perhaps they wanted to kill off even the last vestige of hope.

He recounted everything that had happened recently.

The recording Huo Sinian sent him.

Lin Tan said she wanted to sever ties.

And everything she said to herself afterwards.

"At first I thought she was forced into it and coerced by someone." Qin Mo didn't like to talk about these things with others, but if it weren't for Jiang Ruan, he would never have met Lin Tan again. "But all her reactions were too real. She was really afraid that I would retaliate against her."

“She’s an actress,” Jiang Ruan said, only four words.

"I know." Qin Mo's mind was still filled with the words Xie Yi and the others had said.

“She will show you what she wants you to see,” Jiang Ruan said. “I don’t know why she said those things, but it’s obvious why Huo Sinian sent you the recording.”

Qin Mo raised his eyes.

Jiang Ruan: "He wants you to misunderstand, to make you jealous, and to make you angry."

"Are you talking about Huo Sinian?" Huo Zhizhou, who was waiting over there, saw Jiang Ruan and Qin Mo chatting and couldn't help but walk over and speak. He was wearing a black shirt with two buttons casually undone at the collar, and he looked less serious and more casual than usual.

Qin Mo glanced sideways.

Jiang Ruan repeated the question to him.

Compared to her, Huo Zhizhou, as her younger brother, understood Huo Sinian better.

"That's about it. You know Huo Sinian better than I do, so you should talk to him," Jiang Ruan said, before heading to find Old Master Qin.

Regarding Qin Mo's matter.

On the surface, it seems to be a problem between Lin Tan and him.

In reality, there was another Huo Sinian hiding in the shadows.

"I heard you were in a car accident a few days ago," Huo Zhizhou asked.

Qin Mo: "Mm."

Huo Zhizhou: "Have you checked?"

Qin Mo paused.

The dark eyes moved slightly.

"You mean that Huo Sinian deliberately caused that car accident?" He quickly understood what he meant.

"I don't know if it was intentional, but Huo Sinian is good at using everything around him to seek his own benefit," Huo Zhizhou said unhurriedly. "As for that recording, I suggest you check where Lin Tan was on the night of the wrap party."

Qin Mo: "She's in the restroom."

Huo Zhizhou: "You saw it with your own eyes?"

Qin Mo: "She sent me a message."

Huo Zhizhou: "Couldn't it have been posted by Huo Sinian?"

In short.

It was like a thunderclap in Qin Mo's heart.

"If you want to know if Lin Tan is truly sincere towards you, just test him." Huo Zhizhou's gaze fell on him. "It all depends on whether you're willing to go all out."

Qin Mo: "Go ahead."

Huo Zhizhou: "If you get into another car accident or other dangerous situation and end up in the hospital again, let's see if Lin Tan is indifferent or rushes to call Huo Sinian to question her."

Upon hearing this, Qin Mo's gaze towards Huo Zhizhou deepened.

He considered himself to be no less capable than Huo Zhizhou in business, but now he realized that this man was indeed cunning. Not only him, but it should be said that neither of the Huo brothers were kind-hearted people.

"Thank you," he said.

Huo Zhizhou hummed in agreement and prepared to leave.

Just as he lifted his foot to leave, Qin Mo, considering his cunning and thoughts, spoke to his retreating figure: "Jiang Ruan is my cousin, she's a member of the Qin family."

Huo Zhizhou did not answer and left directly.

But it was Qin Mo.

Perhaps their words were helpful to him, or something else entirely.

Before leaving, he unusually sent Jiang Ruan a message: "Whether you go back to the Qin family or not, you're still a member of the Qin family."

Jiang Ruan, upon receiving the message: "?"

Weren't we talking about Lin Tan and Huo Sinian?

How do I send this?

"Wouldn't this be considered the farmer and the snake?" Huo Zhizhou glanced at the content on her phone screen and naturally sat down next to her.

Jiang Ruan: "What did you talk about with him?"

Huo Zhizhou: "We talked about Huo Sinian's character."

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Why would he need to post this?

Huo Zhizhou knew what she was thinking: "He probably thinks I can see through Huo Sinian's scheme and give him advice, and that I am also a scheming person."

Jiang Ruan and Old Master Qin's gazes both fell on him.

The two exchanged a unanimous glance and said: "Aren't you one?"

Huo Zhizhou defended himself: "My scheming is only directed at outsiders."

Jiang Ruan: "Yes, back when they wanted both, I was definitely an outsider."

Huo Zhizhou: "I was ignorant back then."

Jiang Ruan: "No way, the second young master Huo, who is so shrewd in the business world, wouldn't be so ignorant."

Huo Zhizhou took her hand and held it tightly: "I was wrong."

Jiang Ruan pulled her hand back: "It's too late."

Huo Zhizhou: "Director Jiang, could you give me a chance to make amends?"

Jiang Ruan would often banter with him: "Why don't you try to guess why you're able to live here so often?"

Huo Zhizhou: "Thank you, Director Jiang, for your magnanimity."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

Really poor.

"Ruan Ruan," Old Master Qin suddenly spoke.

Jiang Ruan raised her eyes.

Old Master Qin glanced at Huo Zhizhou, coughed lightly, and said, "When do you two plan to remarry? I see that your relationship has been quite good lately, even better than those who have already registered their marriage."

Jiang Ruan paused for a moment.

My hand involuntarily clenched slightly.

Her relationship with Huo Zhizhou has indeed been repaired. He has been staying here these days to make up for his past mistakes, and he has been handling things very well, neither being too offensive nor too perfunctory.

She knew he was genuinely remorseful and that he truly loved her.

The fear of not being able to get a divorce still lingers. Although the remarriage wasn't aimed at getting a divorce, after what happened, she's afraid that something might happen again.

She couldn't withstand that kind of torment.

I don't want to experience that kind of change again.

"No rush," Huo Zhizhou said, still in his casual tone. "We plan to date for a while longer. We got married too quickly before, so we didn't get to experience what it's like to be in love."
