Chapter 290 You Have Such a Scheming Side
“Now that you’ve figured it out, have a good talk with Jiang Ruan these next few days.” Gu Shixi patted his shoulder. “Even if you can’t be husband and wife, you can still be friends. Don’t act like enemies.”
Huo Zhizhou did not respond.
They almost became enemies.
"If you feel unwell, talk to the doctor immediately," Gu Shixi instructed carefully. "Don't try to tough it out on your own. Besides being the CEO of the Huo Group, you're also Sui Sui's father."
"Where is Huo Sinian?" Huo Zhizhou asked.
"I don't know." Gu Shixi was telling the truth. "Either they're trying to ruin you and get the CEO position of Huo Group, or they're getting close to Jiang Ruan and using her to bring you down."
Huo Zhizhou took out his phone and sent a message to Jiang Yu.
After he finished sending the message, Gu Shixi pressed on, asking, "How do you plan to win Jiang Ruan back?"
"Have you finished with your own company's affairs?" Huo Zhizhou asked instead of answering.
Gu Shixi looked at him: "You're not still going to keep your promise to her, are you?"
Huo Zhizhou did not respond.
But his expression made the answer crystal clear.
"I'm not trying to criticize you, but having Jiang Yu investigate her dinner party already breaks your promise." Gu Shixi wanted to bring him to his senses. "Now, no matter how much you try to keep your word, you've already broken it. There's no point in doing so, understand?"
Huo Zhizhou threw off the covers and got up.
Gu Shixi stopped him while saying, "What are you doing?"
Huo Zhizhou: "Discharged from the hospital."
"Why are you being discharged? You're not fully recovered yet. Do you want to leave and come back in as soon as you're discharged?" Gu Shixi pulled him back. "You don't mind the hassle, but Jiang Yu, the doctors, and I do."
Huo Zhizhou completely ignored him.
He's exactly the same as Jiang Ruan when it comes to doing something; nothing can stop him.
"I understand." Gu Shixi changed direction and said, "You deliberately made your condition worse, didn't you?"
Huo Zhizhou paused in his dressing.
Gu Shixi placed her hand on him, a meaningful smile on her lips: "I didn't realize, Huo Er, that you had such a scheming side."
Huo Zhizhou: "?"
"Knowing that he can be discharged in another week given his condition, Jiang Ruan can't stay in the hospital for too long." Gu Shixi is truly cunning and extremely good at causing trouble. "It's better to be discharged before recovery. All this back and forth will mean she'll have to stay for at least ten days to half a month."
Huo Zhizhou frowned slightly.
Before he could speak, Gu Shixi stroked his chin and nodded: "Brilliant, absolutely brilliant."
"I'm not," Huo Zhizhou denied.
"I understand." Gu Shixi gave him a look and patted his shoulder. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I won't tell Jiang Yu either."
Huo Zhizhou knew that Gu Shixi was doing it on purpose, and even knew that it was a clumsy attempt to provoke him, but he dared not gamble. If something really happened to him and he had to go back to the hospital, everyone would suspect that he did it on purpose.
Even Jiang Ruan... might feel that he has changed.
"Why did you change back into your clothes?" Gu Shixi asked, noticing he had taken off his suit and put on a hospital gown. "Aren't you getting discharged?"
“If you want the Gu Group to have another competitor, continue,” Huo Zhizhou said, easily controlling Gu Shixi. “Developing a new business is not difficult for the Huo Group.”
Gu Shixi promptly shut up.
He believed in Huo Er's abilities.
He either doesn't do it at all, or he does it to the extreme. If he wants to enter the Gu Group's industries, the Gu Group's interests will definitely suffer a loss of more than half.
"Call a doctor for me." Huo Zhizhou lay back down on the bed without telling anyone what he was thinking.
Gu Shixi went immediately.
Not long after.
Dr. Zheng, Huo Zhizhou's attending physician, arrived. He was wearing a standard white coat, and his gentle and refined face looked kind and kind.
He approached the bedside and asked, "Mr. Gu said you were calling for me?"
Huo Zhizhou: "How long will it take for me to be discharged from the hospital?"
"At least a week." Dr. Zheng is a doctor in his thirties with top-notch skills in all aspects. "To fully recover, it depends on your level of cooperation."
"I understand." Huo Zhizhou suppressed his emotions.
Gu Shixi waited outside the door.
Seeing Dr. Zheng come out, he glanced inside and immediately asked, "How is it?"
Dr. Zheng: "I just asked how long it would take to be discharged from the hospital."
"Didn't you take the opportunity to persuade him to accept psychological treatment?" Gu Shixi has always been concerned about this. It used to be something that happened when he was young, and now it's something that stems from his youth. "Now should be when his psychological defenses are at their lowest."
“If he is unwilling, I cannot get into his heart even when his psychological defenses are at their lowest.” Dr. Zheng’s brows furrowed with worry. “He has too much self-control, so much so that he can forcibly suppress his mental illness.”
However, the consequence of this is that self-control suppresses psychological problems to the extreme, causing a backlash.
This can lead to loss of appetite and insomnia.
The intertwining of two extreme emotions only harmed his body.
"But he's in pretty good shape today," Dr. Zheng added. "He's not as tense as he used to be."
"Because Jiang Ruan came." Gu Shixi knew the reason for his change. "Most of his heartache stems from her."
His childhood psychological issues were simply an obsession with promises. Apart from the Su Anran incident, things had been alright over the years. But with Jiang Ruan... He wanted to love her, see her, and be with her, but Jiang Ruan only wanted to distance herself from him.
This caused him to struggle internally and create problems.
"Could we invite Miss Jiang over?" Dr. Zheng hadn't had much contact with Jiang Ruan, but most people at the hospital knew about her relationship with Huo Zhizhou. "With her help, perhaps Mr. Huo can recover sooner."
Gu Shixi said, "You're wrong."
Dr. Zheng: "?"
Gu Shixi said bluntly, "She would never reveal her true feelings to your CEO Huo."
For the first time, Dr. Zheng was puzzled by this: "Why?"
"Because your CEO Huo can't bear to see the people he cares about worry and miss him," Gu Shixi put it another way. "You go ahead and do your work, I'll go talk to him later."
Dr. Zheng didn't say much and left.
Gu Shixi arrived at the ward and paused just before his hand touched the door.
While it's not very reliable to have Jiang Ruan come over and persuade Huo Er to accept psychological treatment, wouldn't it be more effective for her to come here and interact with Huo Er more often than psychological treatment? After all, even the best doctor can't compare to the person who can truly solve the problem.
Thinking of this.
He took out his phone and sent Jiang Ruan a message: [Jiang Ruan, are you free this afternoon?]
Jiang Ruan had just arrived outside Ruanyuan Park when the car drove through the park's iron gate. The luxury car that had been following behind her also drove in, leading the unsuspecting bodyguards to assume they were going the same way.
The car behind it stopped only after the car had stopped in the garage.
Jiang Ruan looked at Mr. and Mrs. Huo getting out of the car and, without even saying hello, directly instructed Mo Mo: "Please ask the two elders to leave. If they are unwilling, have the bodyguards take them out."
