Chapter 120 Su Anran Gets Slapped in the Face
Director Luo took the dishwasher voucher and three thousand yuan in cash, said thank you, and left.
It wasn't until she overheard Director Luo making a phone call after get off work that she learned why there was such a complicated procedure.
"Honey, I bought that washing machine we were looking at before," Director Luo said as he walked away, making a phone call. "It was three thousand yuan cheaper than buying it online, only costing twenty-eight thousand!"
Jiang Ruan understood instantly.
She never expected that Director Luo, who spoke like that during the team building event, was someone who would secretly hide money from his wife while reporting to her.
She pretended not to hear and walked towards the subway station, intending to pick up Sui Sui, but to her surprise, Su Zhu had already taken the child back for her.
She was a little surprised when she met up with her at home: "Didn't Yanzhi say you've been very busy lately?"
"I'm done with work," Su Zhu blurted out.
Jiang Ruan put down her bag and walked over.
Su Zhu asked her mysteriously, "Do you know what I've been busy with lately?"
Jiang Ruan shook her head.
“A few days ago, my dad told me that Su Anran contacted him, wanting shares in the Su Group, as well as my entertainment company and other businesses.” Su Zhu hadn’t mentioned it before because she didn’t want her best friend to worry. “She also said that if I didn’t give them to her, Huo Zhizhou would help her get them.”
Jiang Ruan frowned slightly: "Why didn't you tell me?"
“Telling you would only make you worry more,” Su Zhu said bluntly. “Besides, I’ve already resolved more than half of this matter.”
Jiang Ruan asked curiously, "How was it resolved?"
“I had someone investigate Su Anran’s life and learned some things she’s been trying her best to hide from others,” Su Zhu said slowly. “I was planning to talk to her about it tomorrow.”
“This deal might not be successful,” Jiang Ruan said slowly, based on her understanding. “Given Huo Zhizhou’s doting on her, he would do his best to hide things she doesn’t want to do.”
"Coincidentally, she even kept this from Huo Zhizhou." Su Zhu said with a smile.
Jiang Ruan: "???"
What else is there that you're hiding from Huo Zhizhou?
Hasn't she already been openly wicked?
The next day at noon.
After getting off work, Jiang Ruan went straight to the hospital where Su Anran worked without even having dinner. Su Zhu asked her to come along, saying that having another person would provide more insight into her observations.
Su Anran wasn't surprised at all when she saw them arrive. Instead, she greeted them politely, "Oh, it's you two, Sister and Ruanruan. I didn't expect you to have time to come see me."
"I'm here to discuss the ownership of your entertainment company," Su Zhu said without uttering a single unnecessary word.
“You should talk to Zhizhou about this.” Su Anran smiled, making no attempt to hide her ambition. “I’ve already handed it over to him to handle.”
"Do you really want me to talk to him?" Su Zhu asked.
Su Anran was unaware that a terrifying message was about to arrive: "Of course."
“Okay.” Su Zhu agreed readily, stood up and looked at her calmly, “Then I’ll also tell him about your doctor visit. It seems he doesn’t know about it yet.”
“Just to see a doctor…” Su Anran stopped mid-sentence.
The smile and ease on her face vanished instantly, her gaze fixed on Su Zhu and Jiang Ruan.
What did she mean by that?
Do you know something?
"What do you mean by that?" She sat up from the hospital bed, her hands, hidden under the blanket, tightening little by little.
"The literal meaning." Su Zhu pulled up a chair and sat down again, a hint of provocation in her eyes. "Do I still need to go talk to Huo Zhizhou now?"
"What do you want to talk about?" Su Anran asked.
"I can't control what shares Su Bingcheng has, but don't try to touch what I own." Su Zhu didn't mince words and directly stated her purpose, "Otherwise, I'll tell Huo Zhizhou about this."
Su Anran's hands, hanging at her sides, tightened little by little.
Judging from her expression, she probably doesn't know what exactly she did at the doctor's. If she did, she would have already confronted Huo Zhizhou about it.
Once the truth is revealed, Huo Zhizhou will abandon her without hesitation. Without his help, even if she holds shares, she will be easily swindled out of everything by a business elder like Su Bingcheng.
"How is it?" Su Zhu asked, seeing that she had almost thought it through.
"Okay." After much consideration, Su Anran could only agree, "but I have conditions."
Su Zhu exuded a sense of ease: "Go ahead."
Su Anran said, word by word, a hint of emotion flashing in her eyes: "From today onwards, you are not allowed to investigate this matter anymore, and you are not allowed to tell anyone."
"No problem," Su Zhu agreed readily.
Su Anran looked at Jiang Ruan: "She's the same."
Su Zhu: "Okay."
Jiang Ruan: "?"
You agreed just like that?
After the two parties reached an agreement, Su Anran took out her phone and called Huo Zhizhou. The dial tone came over and over again until the call automatically ended, but Huo Zhizhou did not answer.
Su Anran's face gradually darkened. Not wanting to lose face in front of the two of them, she had no choice but to make an excuse: "Zhizhou should be in a meeting. I'll talk to him after he finishes."
Since what happened the night before last, Zhizhou hasn't answered her calls or come to see her.
She didn't reply to any of the messages she sent him.
All I could hear in my mind was what he said as he left: "Don't you think you're being a little too hasty?"
"How would I know if you said it or not?" Su Zhu was clearly unconvinced.
"What can I do if he doesn't answer the phone?" Su Anran's emotions were rising again. "I can't exactly take you all to the Huo Group to find him!"
"No need." Su Zhu was not only there to make a deal with Su Anran, but also to cause trouble. "Ruan Ruan, can I borrow your phone?"
Jiang Ruan gave it to her without much thought.
Su Zhu found Huo Zhizhou's number in her call log and pressed the dial button.
Jiang Ruan: "?"
Su Anran: "?"
She felt that Su Zhu was deliberately humiliating her, and she had evidence!
beep--
The phone rang.
Huo Zhizhou, who was in a meeting, heard the special ringtone coming from his phone. He picked it up and glanced at it. When he saw the word "Ruan Ruan," he hesitated for a while before answering the phone: "What is it?"
She wouldn't contact him unless it was something important.
Not to mention the period when their relationship was rather strained.
"Mr. Huo, this is Su Zhu." Su Zhu put her phone on speakerphone as she spoke, her gaze undisguisedly fixed on the furious Su Anran.
Unbeknownst to her, in those brief seconds or two, Huo Zhizhou was experiencing a moment of inner turmoil.
He thought something had happened to Jiang Ruan.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been Su Zhu who used her phone to call him.
Just as he was about to ask what was wrong, Su Zhu's voice continued from the phone: "Su Anran called you but no one answered, so I'll borrow Ruan Ruan's phone to call you."
Her response was that Huo Zhizhou quickly hung up the phone.
His eyes were a deep, dark black.
What were those two thinking when they called Su Anran's number?
"It seems Mr. Huo really doesn't want to talk to you. He hung up as soon as he heard your name." Su Zhu handed the phone back to Jiang Ruan, saying infuriatingly, "Since we can't communicate verbally, just send him a message as we just discussed."
