Chapter 313 Sui Sui is just like Jiang Ruan.
That day.
After speaking with the hotel manager, Jiang An looked at Jiang Ruan and asked, "Are you planning to invite him?"
She didn't explicitly say who it was, but Jiang Ruan knew.
“No need to invite him.” Huo Zhizhou understood Jiang Ruan, and Jiang Ruan understood him just as well. “He will never miss any important holiday in Sui Sui’s life. He will come on that day.”
At the same time.
Every year, I ask this question too.
However, the person being asked was Huo Zhizhou.
The father and son bicker and tease each other daily. Sui Sui says with a straight face, "Since you are my first father, I will save a piece of cake for you on your birthday. You don't need to thank me too much."
"No need to thank me, no need to stay," Huo Zhizhou said casually.
One meal a year.
Leave nothing behind...
Are they not coming?
"Since you've said that, then I'll save the cake for the other dads." He wasn't about to admit defeat in front of Huo Zhizhou. "Don't get jealous or angry later."
Huo Zhizhou raised an eyebrow: "Am I such a petty person?"
Sui Sui readily replied, "Yes."
Huo Zhizhou teased him deliberately, "How come I didn't know?"
“You made me sleep alone when I was just three years old.” Sui Sui listed them one by one, remembering them clearly. “You even told me that a three-year-old man wouldn’t cling to Mommy.”
"Yes," Huo Zhizhou readily admitted.
"Ever since then, I've had to fight my way up in your room to get a chance to sleep next to Mommy." Sui Sui felt a little stingy when she thought about the past.
His father loved him very much; he could never find a father who loved him as much as his son.
However, the father is also very possessive of the mother, wanting to spend every night alone with her, without considering that he, as a child, needs his mother very much.
Huo Zhizhou looked at him through the screen with his dark eyes: "Why are you suddenly bringing up old things? What do you want to tell me?"
Sui Sui stubbornly replied, "It's nothing, I was just reminding you that you're a very stingy person."
Huo Zhizhou raised an eyebrow slightly: "Is that so?"
Sui Sui replied crisply, "Yes!"
"I've received your feedback." Huo Zhizhou spoke in the calmest tone, uttering the most easily provocative words. "Is there anything else?"
Sui Sui: "..."
Sui Sui puffed up her cheeks angrily: "It's gone."
Stinky dad!
All I know is how to tease him.
"Have a good birthday." Huo Zhizhou glanced at the schedule and didn't let him linger in disappointment. "I'll come over as soon as I finish what I'm doing. If anyone tries to stop me, I hope little Sui Sui will put in a good word for me."
"It depends on my mood, hmph." Sui Sui said haughtily.
Huo Zhizhou smiled.
This arrogant personality, even after getting a good deal, is practically a carbon copy of Ruan Ruan's.
"I'm not talking to you anymore, I haven't finished my puzzle yet." Having gotten the answer she wanted, Sui Sui decided not to make any more phone calls.
Huo Zhizhou replied calmly, "Mm."
Sui Sui: "I'm hanging up."
Huo Zhizhou: "Okay."
"Goodbye." After saying these two words, Sui Sui quickly added the next two, "Daddy."
He spoke those two words very softly, so much so that Huo Zhizhou hadn't even realized what was happening before he hung up the phone. Even so, he still heard the barely audible yet extremely proud "Dad."
He opened Sui Sui's chat window and typed a few words: "See you on her birthday."
Sui Sui held her phone and smiled happily.
He knew that his mother bought him this phone so that he could contact his father more easily, and he also knew that there must be something between his father and mother that he didn't know about that was preventing them from getting back together. While respecting their decision, he selfishly hoped that they could reconcile, not necessarily to remarry and become husband and wife, but just to be friends who could talk to each other.
Jiang Ruan and Huo Zhizhou both understood his little schemes.
But there were too many barriers between the two.
So much so that even when Jiang Ruan learned about his broken childhood and adolescence, she only felt sorry for him rather than forgiving him.
“BOSS.” Assistant Jiang listened to the entire call and had some doubts on his forehead. “You had no plans on the young master’s birthday, and the previously arranged international meeting was also brought forward.”
“I know,” Huo Zhizhou said.
Assistant Jiang: "?"
Huo Zhizhou didn't explain much. After putting down his phone, he asked directly, "How's the investigation going?"
"The person who rushed out of the Qin Group's gate was arranged by a junior member of a collateral branch of the Qin family," Assistant Jiang told him about the investigation results. "That person was resentful when he heard that Miss Jiang was going to become a major shareholder of the Qin Group, so he wanted to ruin Miss Jiang's reputation."
Huo Zhizhou's eyes were deep: "A collateral branch?"
Jiang, Special Assistant: "After checking several times, it was confirmed to be a collateral branch."
"Give Qin Muchuan a heads-up: don't touch those you shouldn't touch," Huo Zhizhou instructed. "If they don't listen, I'll personally teach them what to do."
When Qin Luofeng came to him before, he just went along with what he said.
But this time...
He was serious.
He felt that the promise to protect Ruan Ruan for life was more important than not interfering in Ruan Ruan's affairs.
“Okay,” Assistant Jiang agreed quickly.
Gu Shixi found out about this within a few hours.
He was relieved to learn that Huo Zhizhou was no longer strictly adhering to the promise he made to Jiang Ruan, but instead started to take advantage of loopholes. So much so that after understanding the matter, he started gossiping: "Didn't Jiang Yu say that it was done by a junior member of the Qin family's collateral branch? Why did you let him find Qin Muchuan?"
Huo Zhizhou did not respond.
If the president of the Gu Group can't even see through such a simple question, then he's lived in vain.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Gu Shixi never liked to think too much about problems that weren't his own. "Is the signal bad?"
Huo Zhizhou put his phone aside and looked at the stock market information on his computer screen.
Gu Shixi: "??"
Gu Shixi: "Hello?"
"The younger generation of the Qin family's collateral branch is just a smokescreen released by Qin Muchuan," Assistant Jiang explained proactively, knowing that his boss was too lazy to answer. "Miss Jiang's purchase of shares will only affect Qin Muchuan the most, and will have a negligible impact on the collateral branch."
“That’s true.” Gu Shixi thought for a moment and agreed. “But isn’t it a bit presumptuous of you to warn them without any evidence?”
“The boss doesn’t need evidence to do things,” Assistant Jiang said very seriously. “Even if it’s abrupt, they can only swallow their anger.”
Gu Shixi: "..."
Should he say that he truly lives up to his reputation as Huo Er?
If anyone else had said that, probably no one would have believed it.
He quickly replied, "Do you need me to keep an eye on Qin Muchuan's side? I happen to be free lately."
"No need." Huo Zhizhou always preferred to handle his own affairs. "You just need to manage your own company well. Huo Sinian has been making a lot of moves lately, and he is very likely to try to steal your projects."
"No," Gu Shixi said with great certainty.
Huo Zhizhou: "?"
As if knowing he was confused, Gu Shixi took the initiative to say, "His love life has been complicated lately, so he probably won't have time to take over my project."
"Did Lin Tan discover that he was engaged to the second young lady of the Wen family?" Huo Zhizhou guessed, based on what he had learned recently.
