Chapter 45 I Only Stand Up for My Own People
It couldn't have been slept on.
Huo Zhizhou wouldn't be so absurd.
“You can ask him.” Su Anran steadied herself and pretended to be calm. “I promised him I wouldn’t tell anyone.”
"Since you're unwilling to talk about it, there's no need to continue this so-called cooperation." Jiang Ruan gave him the boot, "Just be a good mistress."
"Jiang Ruan!" Su Anran didn't expect that even with her sincerity, she still wouldn't agree.
Jiang Ruan raised her chin, gesturing for her to look at the "No Talking" sign on the wall.
Su Anran tightened her grip on her hands and lowered her voice to talk to her: "You can't not see that Huo Zhizhou's actions towards you are treating you like a toy. As long as he's not done playing with you, you'll never be able to escape him."
"Are you done talking?" Jiang Ruan knew all this perfectly well.
“I have a way to give you a stable life.” Su Anran hadn’t given up yet. “Then you will escape his control, and I will get his whole heart. It’s a win-win situation.”
"Have you no shame?" Jiang Ruan wanted to slap her across the face.
Su Anran declared righteously, "I'm helping you!"
Jiang Ruan didn't want to talk to her anymore: "Get lost."
"Have you thought it through?" Su Anran stood up, her hand gripping her bag tightly. "You didn't agree today, but I have plenty of ways to force you to leave in the future. When will you ever use your brain?"
Jiang Ruan picked up the bag next to her and threw it at her: "Bang!"
"Ah!" Su Anran screamed, clutching her forehead where she had been hit.
Jiang Ruan's eyes were like knives.
"What are you doing!" Su Anran's eyes instantly turned into anger and sharpness.
Jiang Ruan's expression was cold: "If you don't get out of here, the chair next to you will fall down."
"You just wait!" Su Anran's eyes were full of ruthlessness. "You'll regret this!"
Jiang Ruan didn't even give her a second glance. After she stormed off in her high heels, angry and furious, Jiang Ruan picked up her bag from the ground with mixed feelings.
Sometimes she envied Su Anran, thinking that the mistress making the original wife leave was a blessing. This extremely shameless and shameless idea was a perfect match for Huo Zhizhou. No wonder she agreed to Huo Zhizhou's request to keep the wife at home while having mistresses on the side.
A ding-dong sound.
My phone received a text message from an unknown number: "Your good days are over."
Jiang Ruan blocked and deleted the number, knowing that the message was sent by Su Anran.
Putting aside the fact that it's crazy for a mistress like Su Anran to say those things to her, she doesn't believe a single one of the conditions Su Anran mentioned. If Ye Yanzhi and Su Zhu couldn't do it, how could an ordinary person like her, without family background or a smart brain, possibly change Huo Zhizhou's mind?
All I can say is that after all these years, she remains as confident as ever.
At that moment, she was unaware that Huo Zhizhou had seen everything that was happening here.
In one of the offices on the top floor of the hospital, Huo Zhizhou and Gu Shixi sat in front of a computer, watching the outside of the operating room through a monitor.
They had been sitting there since Jiang Ruan's mother was wheeled into the operating room. They had only wanted to see if the surgery went smoothly and to see if Jiang Ruan had told Ye Yanzhi about it. Little did they expect to witness the two of them fighting.
Gu Shixi coughed lightly: "Um..."
I wish I hadn't come!
Ye Yanzhi didn't see it, but an awkward scene did occur.
Huo Zhizhou looked over with his dark eyes.
"It seems Jiang Ruan still can't bear to part with you." Gu Shixi forced a conversation and started a new topic. "Su Anran offered her such good terms, but she didn't leave. She still has feelings for you."
Huo Zhizhou looked at him as if he were an idiot.
"What's with that expression?" Gu Shixi said, displeased.
Huo Zhizhou didn't say.
If Jiang Ruan would accept Su Anran's conditions, she could have accepted the conditions he offered in the first place.
"Judging from what Su Anran said before she left, she'll probably target Jiang Ruan later." Gu Shixi changed the subject, genuinely confused about his brother's thinking. "Do you want to talk to her?"
Huo Zhizhou parted his thin lips slightly: "What do you want to talk about?"
"Tell her not to target Jiang Ruan," Gu Shixi said rationally. "Jiang Ruan is already divorced from you and has no feelings for you anymore. If she goes there, wouldn't she just be asking for trouble?"
Huo Zhizhou's eyes suddenly darkened.
The aura around him dropped several degrees in an instant.
Gu Shixi's heart pounded. Wasn't what he said true? Why was he angry again?
"She can do whatever she wants." Huo Zhizhou's voice was slightly cold, revealing neither his mood nor his emotions. "Even if she gets into trouble, I'll clean it up for her."
Gu Shixi: "?"
Gu Shixi's mind went a little blank: "The 'she' you're talking about, is it Su Anran or Jiang Ruan?"
"What do you think?" Huo Zhizhou asked calmly.
"Is there something wrong with you here?" Gu Shixi pointed to his head, never expecting him to be so ruthless. "It's one thing that you divorced Jiang Ruan because of Su Anran, but now that Su Anran is causing trouble for Jiang Ruan, you're actually backing her up?"
"I only support my own people," Huo Zhizhou put it another way.
Gu Shixi tried to persuade him: "Don't forget that the reason Su Anran went to cause trouble for Jiang Ruan is because you always interfere in Jiang Ruan's life."
"And then?" Huo Zhizhou asked calmly.
Gu Shixi's forehead was covered in question marks.
What else is needed?
Would any normal person do such a thing?
“This is her own choice.” Huo Zhizhou’s gaze fell on the person on the monitor, his dark eyes deeper than ever before. “If she doesn’t want to face it, she can come back to me. I’ve left her a way out.”
Gu Shixi's lips twitched: "..."
What's the difference between this escape route and a dead end?
Anyone with a sound mind and a bit of backbone wouldn't take the path he left behind, even if they were destitute. Just as she was thinking about whether to try to persuade Huo Zhizhou again, her phone rang, and the screen displayed the three words "Su Anran".
Huo Zhizhou answered the phone, and a wronged voice immediately came from the other end: "Zhizhou, where are you?"
"The company," Huo Zhizhou said calmly.
Gu Shixi couldn't bear to look.
Their ability to lie through their teeth is simply unbelievable.
“I went to the hospital, intending to comfort Ruan Ruan and tell her not to worry too much, but she got very impatient when she saw me and even hit me with her bag.” Su Anran’s voice turned into a sob as she spoke, “It even broke the skin on my forehead.”
"I'll have the doctor come and take a look at you," Huo Zhizhou said gently and patiently. "I'll be back as soon as I'm done with what I'm doing."
"Okay." Before hanging up the phone, she added, "By the way, Zhizhou, could you please stop causing trouble for Ruanruan? She smashed me because she was in a bad mood and acted impulsively. She definitely wouldn't do that normally."
“Her feelings are not my consideration,” Huo Zhizhou said gently. “All I know is that she hurt you.”
“But…” Su Anran wanted to argue.
Huo Zhizhou: "Be good, go back first."
Gu Shixi: "???"
