Chapter 589 Quite Patient
"What if we manage to snatch it but then lose it?" This was Huo Zhizhou's biggest worry.
Soft-hearted but stubborn.
Being too forceful will only make her dislike you more and more, and may even lead her to do something extreme.
He wanted her to stay by his side, but he also didn't want her to hurt herself.
"You'll only know once you've got your hands on it." Huo Sinian and he had completely different approaches.
Huo Zhizhou: "Is this how much you care about Lin Tan?"
Huo Sinian: "Yes."
Huo Zhizhou: "It's rare that you would admit it."
"Now I am the head of the Huo family and the president of the Huo Group. All the power is in my hands." Huo Sinian said frankly, "Without you as my biggest rival, there's naturally nothing to hide."
I used to worry that my parents would find out and I would be stopped.
They were worried that Huo Zhizhou would discover their weaknesses and exploit them.
Now I don't have to worry about anything.
“No one will like your twisted kind of love,” Huo Zhizhou told him. “You’ll only push her further away.”
Huo Sinian: "I won't let go, no matter how far she goes."
He gave her time to go out and be free.
But it will come back eventually.
He couldn't let her just disappear from her world, much less let her be with Qin Mo.
"Aren't you afraid she might do something rash?" Huo Zhizhou asked, puzzled.
"Is this why you got yourself into this state all by yourself over there?" Huo Sinian guessed immediately, his words gentle yet teasing, "Afraid that Jiang Ruan might do something rash because of your disturbance?"
Huo Zhizhou remained silent.
indeed.
He's just afraid.
"So it seems you're a good person." Huo Sinian didn't try to persuade him, he just said, "If it were me, it's either die together or stay by my side, there's no third option."
Huo Zhizhou: "That's because you don't love her enough."
Huo Sinian: "Perhaps."
Huo Zhizhou: "Or perhaps, you've never been frightened by such a scene."
If Gu Shixi hadn't said those words, he might have made the same choice as Huo Sinian. He would have kept trying to make his presence known to Ruan Ruan, and he would have shown her his change and his determination to love her.
But she said true love means seeing things from her perspective.
He had never been loved, and the love he later received was something she taught him through their growing relationship.
I've already hurt her once, and I don't want to cause her any more trouble.
So he listened to her and kept his distance.
"You're quite different from the Second Young Master Huo I know," Huo Sinian commented.
Huo Zhizhou: "If you really care about Lin Tan, then let her go."
"Heh." Huo Sinian chuckled softly.
Huo Zhizhou had no idea what he was laughing at.
I don't want to know.
"You don't even understand love yourself, yet you're trying to control me." Huo Sinian said casually, but his eyes held a possessiveness he himself was unaware of.
Huo Zhizhou: "Whatever you say."
He hung up the phone after saying that.
Looking at the phone that had ended the call, Huo Sinian's expression revealed a hint of emotion.
He is, after all, her own younger brother, and she couldn't possibly be completely at ease seeing him like this.
After much deliberation, he called Jiang Yu.
Assistant Jiang answered quickly, his tone as always: "Did President Huo need something from me?"
"What's the current situation with Zhizhou?" Huo Sinian asked.
Assistant Jiang: "I don't quite understand what you mean."
“I just called him, and he sounded like he was about to die.” Huo Sinian stopped trying to play mind games with them, since there was no conflict of interest. “What happened to him?”
Assistant Jiang: "You misheard me, the boss is perfectly fine."
Huo Sinian: "There's no need to be wary of me. I have no conflict of interest with you. I'm just asking as your older brother."
Assistant Jiang was about to say, "You have moments of naivety?"
But after realizing that he had no vested interests with his boss, he hesitated.
"What's his condition now?" Huo Sinian asked again.
"It's nothing serious, she just doesn't like to eat," Assistant Jiang said rather tactfully.
Huo Sinian: "Missing you too much?"
Assistant Jiang: "..."
Huo Sinian: "He hasn't contacted Jiang Ruan during this time?"
Jiang's Special Assistant: "No."
That phone call that day didn't really count as contact.
Huo Sinian sneered mercilessly, "You're quite tolerant."
Assistant Jiang: "..."
Huo Sinian: "Should I have someone tie Jiang Ruan up and bring her here for him to see?"
"I advise you not to do that," Assistant Jiang said, knowing the importance of the matter. "If you touch Miss Jiang, the BOSS will take back everything he gave you."
Huo Sinian thought for a moment.
Given Zhizhou's personality, this is indeed something he would do.
"I understand." Huo Sinian didn't say anything more. "Take good care of him, and I'll find a way to make him better."
Assistant Jiang agreed verbally.
But deep down, he knew that it was almost impossible for the BOSS to get better.
Miss Jiang was unwilling to talk to him, and he was hesitant to contact her.
This is a dead end.
Huo Sinian didn't care much about it. After hanging up the phone, he contacted his secretary: "Do me a favor."
He told him what he needed to do.
The latter agreed to all of them.
After giving his instructions, reflecting on his conversation with Huo Zhizhou, he asked, "How's Lin Tan doing lately?"
Secretary Ye: "It's fine, she spends all her time with her sister Lin Ling."
Huo Sinian: "She told me that the day she came back."
Secretary Ye: "Okay."
Huo Sinian told him to get back to work.
Just as he was about to leave, Qiao Shuyun came to his door, frowning as she looked at him: "I just heard you mention Lin Tan?"
Huo Sinian: "Hmm."
Qiao Shuyun: "Is that the woman who used to stay here with you?"
Huo Sinian: "Yes."
"Didn't you break up with her? Why are you still thinking about her?" Qiao Shuyun didn't know as much as Huo Cheng, so she naturally didn't know what he had done. "Don't tell me you like her."
"Your younger brother is enough of a worry for me; he married Jiang Ruan."
"If you continue like this..."
"If you're bored, I can have someone accompany you on a trip," Huo Sinian interrupted her. He always seemed like a dutiful son unless it was absolutely necessary.
"What will happen to your father if I go?" Qiao Shuyun said, sounding worried.
Huo Sinian did not speak.
After Zhi Zhou's antics, Huo Cheng finally stopped causing trouble.
He lost his former arrogance and became much more peaceful in his dealings with things.
"Then you can invite your friends over to play," Huo Sinian said as he walked out. "I have something to attend to first."
"Hey!" Qiao Shuyun tried to call out to him, but Huo Sinian walked away quickly.
After getting on the bus.
Huo Sinian sent a message to his secretary: "Send me Lin Tan's latest situation."
Not long after.
Lin Tan's daily schedule was then in his hands.
At this time, Lin Tan was unaware that everything she did every day was under Huo Sinian's control.
She continued living as usual.
She told her sister about her experiences and what she had done, because she didn't want those things to come out of Huo Sinian's mouth.
No.
Since her sister happened to be free, she told her her thoughts.
"You're going back?" Lin Ling asked, somewhat surprised, but more puzzled. "Aren't you going to stay here and develop your career?"
Lin Tan: "No, I'm not used to being in a foreign country."
She had thought before that if things really didn't work out, she would go abroad.
I'm only now realizing how different our lifestyles, customs, and traditions are.
"What if that man causes you trouble again when you go back?" Lin Ling asked with some concern. "What if he interferes with your career and makes it impossible for you to get roles?"
"I don't plan to be an actress anymore." This was a decision Lin Tan made after careful consideration after arriving here.
