Chapter 762 Being Overwhelmed
"Huh? Did the things I bought for Mommy arrive?" Sui Sui's voice suddenly appeared, and a moment later her little figure ran over and looked at the bodyguards' things.
Huo Zhizhou nodded slightly: "Mm."
Sui Sui's eyes lit up slightly: "They've all arrived?"
Huo Zhizhou: "They've all arrived."
"Then let's move it inside and put it in Mommy's jewelry room." Sui Sui was overjoyed.
The bodyguards responded in unison, "Yes, young master."
Not long after.
Everything was moved in.
Jiang An knew this was a conspiracy between Huo Zhizhou and Sui Sui, but she didn't expose it. She casually gave Sui Sui a few words of advice and then left.
Watching her leave, Sui Sui whispered to Huo Zhizhou, "I think Grandma guessed that it was you who gave it to Mommy."
So much stuff.
He's just a child; he simply doesn't have the ability to buy them, let alone collect them.
"Hmm." Huo Zhizhou hadn't expected to be able to hide it from them. "That's why I need you as an excuse."
"How's it going with what you promised me?" Sui Sui asked, not forgetting their deal.
He helped his father.
Dad also has to keep his promise.
"It's in progress," Huo Zhizhou replied truthfully. "Would you like to check on the progress?"
Sui Sui, with a touch of pride, replied: "Of course."
Huo Zhizhou: "When are we going?"
Sui Sui: "I won't tell you; only random checks will reveal the truth."
Huo Zhizhou rubbed his head, his large palm warm and reassuring. Sui Sui wanted to move his hand away, but after feeling the warmth, he only said, "Only Mommy can rub my head."
"You're quite particular." Huo Zhizhou pinched his cheek.
Sui Sui snorted.
Seeing that everything had been taken inside, Huo Zhizhou didn't plan to linger outside: "Let's go, let's check on your studies over this period of time."
Sui Sui: "Have you forgotten something?"
Huo Zhizhou: "What?"
Sui Sui looked at Li Zhishen, who was standing not far in front of her, and said seriously with her round eyes, "Grandpa Li is still here."
Huo Zhizhou looked up.
He happened to make eye contact with Li Zhishen, who was staring at him.
"Would Chairman Li like to come in and have a seat?" Huo Zhizhou asked proactively, speaking in a host's tone.
“That’s backwards.” Li Zhishen would never admit that his status was lower than Huo Zhizhou’s. “I should be asking you if you want to come in and sit down.”
“If I remember correctly, Chairman Li is just an old acquaintance of Mom and Grandpa, and shouldn’t be qualified to invite them in as a host,” Huo Zhizhou said.
Li Zhishen retorted, "If you have it, why don't I?"
Huo Zhizhou: "I called Mr. Qin 'Grandpa,' and he responded."
Li Zhishen: "He'll respond if I call him Dad."
Huo Zhizhou: "I called her Mom, and she didn't object."
Li Zhishen: "..."
Huo Zhizhou's gaze fell on Sui Sui beside him: "This is the little master of this place, he is my child."
Li Zhishen really wanted to say that this place still belonged to his daughter.
But I'm also afraid of being proven wrong.
After all, Jiang Ruan has never called him "Dad" yet, and An An doesn't like him either.
"Grandpa Li, would you like to come in and sit for a while?" Sui Sui broke the awkward silence. "I need to tidy up Mommy's jewelry store."
"For your sake, Grandpa won't hold it against your father." Li Zhishen said deliberately.
Sui Sui pursed her lips and subconsciously looked at Huo Zhizhou.
The term "grandpa"...
It doesn't seem like a good idea.
Even his grandmother wouldn't let him call him that.
"Let's go." Huo Zhizhou took Sui Sui's hand. "Some people only dare to talk big when your grandma and the others aren't around."
Li Zhishen ground down his molars.
That brat.
If Ruan Ruan had been by his side since childhood, he would be considered amazing if he could even enter the Li family!
"Or maybe you just curse in your heart," Huo Zhizhou added.
Li Zhishen's aura was slightly cool.
Apart from this kid.
No one dares to say that about him openly.
A few moments later, the group went inside.
Sui Sui first went to Jiang Ruan's jewelry store to make sure everything was in the right place, and then took Huo Zhizhou to his small study.
Watching the two of them go up, Li Zhishen couldn't help but say to Jiang An, "An'an."
Jiang An ignored him.
He kept flipping through the book in his hand.
"Aren't you going to do anything about that kid Huo Zhizhou?" Li Zhishen said as he sat down next to her. "He takes advantage of his relationship with Sui Sui and always tries to get close to us here, and he always uses Sui Sui as an excuse to give us things."
Jiang An remained unmoved.
Li Zhishen: "If this continues, I'm afraid he'll just move in here."
"What's it to you?" Jiang An closed the book, speaking coldly and distantly.
“I’m just worried about Ruan Ruan,” Li Zhishen said. “He’s going to stay here. Who knows if he’ll break into Ruan Ruan’s room in the middle of the night? Don’t forget he climbed over the wall in the middle of the night before.”
Jiang An stood up and left, intending to find a quieter place to watch.
Li Zhishen followed behind her: "An'an!"
Jiang An stopped in her tracks.
Li Zhishen stopped as well: "I really think that kid is full of bad intentions, don't you think so?"
"Whether you're worried about Ruan Ruan or something else, you know it in your heart." Jiang An spoke bluntly, his tone indifferent, and his gaze was no different from that of looking at any other ordinary person.
Li Zhishen: "Of course I'm worried about Ruan Ruan."
Jiang An: "Really?"
Li Zhishen: "You don't believe me?"
Jiang An: "I really don't believe it."
The words fell.
The atmosphere became somewhat heavy.
Li Zhishen just looked at her, his expression more silent than usual.
Jiang An didn't say anything more.
Perhaps Li Zhishen was a little worried deep down, but she knew very well that he was more upset than anything else. He was upset that Huo Zhizhou could come and go freely here, and that Huo Zhizhou could use Sui Sui as an excuse to do so many things.
“You know me quite well.” Li Zhishen suddenly spoke, and the serious atmosphere instantly disappeared. “I’m not really worried about Ruan Ruan, after all, you and that kid Mo Mo are here.”
Jiang An frowned slightly.
There was a hint of emotion in his eyes.
If it were before, he would have gotten angry and left long ago given her attitude.
How come someone with an extremely strong sense of self-esteem has no emotions at this moment?
"But I'm just annoyed that kid got in, and even looked down on me." Li Zhishen frankly analyzed his feelings, "I'm clearly the elder, and by seniority I'm his father-in-law!"
Jiang An stared at him.
Li Zhishen immediately changed his words: "I mean in terms of bloodline, in terms of genes."
Jiang An continued walking forward, her expression still calm: "I didn't stop you from fighting amongst yourselves."
Li Zhishen: "But you didn't object when he called you 'Mom,' but when I said I was Ruanruan's dad, you wanted to kick me out."
Jiang An: "..."
“He just claimed to be the owner of this place,” Li Zhishen embellished his complaint. “I wanted to say that I was too, but I didn’t dare to say it because you don’t recognize me and Ruan Ruan doesn’t recognize me either.”
"Your bickering has nothing to do with me," Jiang An said. "Whether it's fabricated out of thin air or made up out of thin air, it has nothing to do with me."
