Chapter 253 Jiang Ruan Learns About the Situation
Not only did she think so, but Jiang Ruan was also worried.
During this month-long cooling-off period, she feared bad news every night before going to bed, but these thoughts would disappear as she fell into a deep sleep because she was too tired during the day.
More than anyone else, she hoped that Huo Zhizhou would keep his promise this time.
But it is clear that his behavior is a sign of a mental illness.
"My mom wants me to meet an important business partner tomorrow, so I probably won't have time to go back to Jingzhou with you," Su Zhu said. "Should we ask that bastard Ye Yanzhi to go with you?"
Jiang Ruan refused: "No need, Mo Mo can come with me."
Su Zhu agreed: "Okay, your little bodyguard is quite reliable."
"Hmm." Jiang Ruan glanced out the window. From this vantage point, she couldn't see where Mo Mo was, but she could imagine how responsible and meticulous he was.
"Soft."
"Um?"
I wish you all the best tomorrow.
"good."
The two hung up the phone after they finished talking.
Looking at the date she had crossed out on the table, Jiang Ruan thought it over and over again before going to Sui Sui's play area to find him. She still needed to let him know that she and Huo Zhizhou were getting a divorce tomorrow.
She stayed there with him for half an hour.
Just as she was thinking about how to bring this up without it seeming too abrupt, Sui Sui lifted her little head from the puzzle and looked at her: "Mommy, is there something you want to tell me?"
Jiang Ruan was somewhat surprised: "How did you know?"
“You’ve looked at me more than twenty times in the last half hour.” Sui Sui’s voice was crisp and cute. “Normally, it doesn’t happen this often.”
Jiang Ruan thought Ye Yanzhi was right.
Her family members are born with a talent for solving cases.
"Are you going to divorce Daddy?" Sui Sui asked this question with a normal expression, as if she were talking about something very ordinary.
Jiang Ruan paused.
You know that?
“Apart from this matter, you tell me everything else directly without hesitation.” After receiving her surprised expression, Sui Sui said with a touch of pride, “Besides, Dad hasn’t come for a month.”
If it weren't for the divorce.
Even if his father and mother have a conflict, he will still shamelessly come over.
The only reason they haven't appeared for a month is this.
"I'll go back to Jingzhou tomorrow to get the divorce certificate with your father." Jiang Ruan kept looking at Sui Sui as she said this, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't worried. "After we get the certificate, there will be no more relationship between him and me."
Unaffected by the passing years: "Mmm."
Jiang Ruan pursed her lips: "You can tell Mommy whatever you're thinking, don't keep it to yourself."
Sui Sui thought about it.
After a while.
He then asked, "After you and Dad divorce, can I still go visit Dad?"
“Of course you can.” Jiang Ruan didn’t impose many restrictions on this matter. “No matter what my relationship with him is, he will always be your father.”
"That's alright then, you can leave now." Sui Sui continued playing with her building block puzzle.
Jiang Ruan paused.
Sui Sui has always been more mature than her peers, so when she heard this, she couldn't help but wonder if he really thought everything was fine, or if he was just saying that to avoid making her worry.
"Whether you stay together or break up, you will love me as always." Sui Sui understands these things very well, mature beyond her years. "I have nothing to lose."
The one who suffered the loss was Dad.
But he has to bear the consequences of his mistakes.
Jiang Ruan reached out and hugged him, and the area in her chest felt some relief at that moment.
That night, just as she was falling asleep, she received a message from Huo Zhizhou: "Message me when you arrive at the airport tomorrow, and I'll have Jiang Yu pick you up to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
Jiang Ruan: [Okay.]
Huo Zhizhou stared at the emotionless words on the screen, his eyes darkening as he could almost picture Jiang Ruan's expression when she typed them.
Assistant Jiang stood next to him: "BOSS."
Huo Zhizhou: "Speak."
"Miss Jiang will arrive in Jingzhou at 8:20 tomorrow and should be at the Civil Affairs Bureau a little after 9:00," Assistant Jiang reported to him. "Why don't you go back and rest now? That way you'll be more refreshed when you see Miss Jiang."
"Who told you to investigate?" Since Huo Zhizhou had promised Jiang Ruan, he wouldn't investigate or protect her openly or secretly.
Jiang's Special Assistant: "Myself."
Huo Zhizhou: "I don't want this to happen again."
Jiang, Special Assistant: "Okay."
They said that, but they hadn't given up in their hearts.
The boss is supposed to keep his promise to Miss Jiang and not to inquire about anything related to her, but he doesn't listen and does these things on his own, which the boss can't stop.
Huo Zhizhou put down his phone and continued working.
"Aren't you going back to rest?" Assistant Jiang asked, noticing his appearance.
Instead of answering, Huo Zhizhou asked, "Is the house I asked you to prepare ready?"
"Everything's ready. It's a ten-minute drive from the company." Assistant Jiang is always reliable. "Your personal belongings have all been moved over as well."
Huo Zhizhou paused in his action of holding the pen.
Assistant Jiang noticed this and, thinking he felt it was too far from the company, explained, "Those closer to the company are all ordinary residential buildings, with buildings that are relatively close together and a large flow of people."
"Go home early, and remember to pick up Ruan Ruan tomorrow." Huo Zhizhou didn't say much more.
Assistant Jiang agreed: "Okay."
I wanted to try to persuade him again, but considering that the boss wouldn't listen to anyone except Miss Jiang, I gave up on that idea.
For the next few hours, Huo Zhizhou worked overtime in the office. He didn't go home to rest, not wanting to close his eyes only to be fast-forwarded to the scene of his divorce from Jiang Ruan.
But the price he paid was that he collapsed and was hospitalized at six in the morning.
8:20 a.m.
Jiang Ruan and Mo Mo arrived at the airport on time to meet with Assistant Jiang. Upon seeing her, Assistant Jiang greeted her politely as always: "Ms. Jiang."
Jiang Ruan hummed in agreement.
She got into the car with Mo Mo.
After driving for about five minutes, Jiang Ruan asked, "Are we going directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau, or are we going to pick up Huo Zhizhou?"
Assistant Jiang stiffened slightly, and his grip on the steering wheel tightened unconsciously.
Mo Mo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, saw this: "Miss, he's feeling guilty."
A hint of doubt flashed across Jiang Ruan's eyes.
"It's not that I'm guilty, it's just that something happened to the BOSS and I don't know how to tell you," Assistant Jiang said immediately, his words somewhat complicated.
From the moment Lin Bei called him in the morning to say that the BOSS had an accident, he had been worried that Miss Jiang would misunderstand.
“I assure you that the boss didn’t intentionally delay the divorce. He even asked me to pick you up this morning last night,” Assistant Jiang continued, not wanting Jiang Ruan to have a bad impression of Huo Zhizhou. “I just didn’t expect things to turn out this way.”
"What is it?" Jiang Ruan was calmer than he had expected.
Assistant Jiang was taken aback for a moment, then quickly replied, "He fainted from exhaustion and is still in the hospital unconscious."
Jiang Ruan simply said, "Go to the hospital."
Jiang, Special Assistant: "Okay."
He sped up his drive to the hospital.
While waiting at a traffic light, he glanced at Jiang Ruan through the rearview mirror. She wasn't angry or accusatory as he had imagined, and her expression was similar to when she got off the plane.
He increasingly understood why the boss couldn't do without Miss Jiang.
She is really a good person.
