Chapter 718 Rest Assured
“I’ll be staying here for a few more days,” Huo Sinian said, looking at her. “You can let me know if you make any changes during this time.”
"Don't let Sui Sui know what happened these past two days," Jiang Ruan instructed. Although Sui Sui wasn't a gossip, what if she did? "If she asks, just say you don't know."
Huo Sinian hummed in agreement.
A moment later.
He left.
I didn't linger here.
Only Jiang Ruan and a few others remained in the ward.
Seeing her complex expression, Mo Mo knew that Huo Sinian had planned this scene very successfully: "Boss."
Jiang Ruan glanced sideways and said, "Mm."
Mo Mo: "Is my ex-husband going to be officially recognized as my wife?"
Jiang Ruan: "?"
A look of doubt flashed in Jiang Ruan's eyes: "Promoted to a permanent position?"
"What you just said to Huo Sinian, wasn't that basically agreeing to your ex-husband being with you?" Mo Mo said bluntly.
“No.” Jiang Ruan saw things clearly and was also very rational. “It’s just giving him a chance. Whether he can be promoted to a permanent position depends on his attitude and way of doing things.”
Mo Mo paused.
After a moment's thought, he asked, "Does this mean that Tang Bai and I can stop them?"
Jiang Ruan: "Mm."
Mo Mo: "Let us stop you however we want?"
Jiang Ruan: "As long as no one gets hurt."
Mo Mo: "Okay."
If the ex-husband could get even half a meter closer to the boss, he would lose!
Jiang Ruan: "?"
She felt that Mo Mo was acting strangely.
Considering Mo Mo's personality, she didn't think much of it and simply asked, "Did you already know there was something fishy about this?"
When Huo Sinian said that Huo Zhizhou was alright, Mo Mo didn't react at all.
Unexpected, surprised, astonished.
Not a single one.
Even if it's a human-machine personality, it's impossible.
"I guessed it," Mo Mo said.
"How did you guess?" Jiang Ruan asked curiously.
“When a normal person commits a crime, they either leave or strengthen their defenses,” Mo Mo said seriously. “But Huo Sinian relaxed his vigilance instead. The seemingly strict defenses were actually easy to slip in. Not to mention me, even Lin Bei could get in.”
He even called Tang Bai to discuss some plans.
It turned out that it was completely useless.
"You mean, Huo Sinian's defenses seem more like a plan for Lin Bei?" Jiang Ruan asked.
Mo Mo nodded.
Such a loose defense means he doesn't even need to think.
Even if he were to be extremely vigilant, he would still manage to sneak in.
"I wanted to tell you, but I was afraid of giving you hope only to disappoint you." Mo Mo had considered things very carefully. "So I didn't."
A few emotions flashed across Jiang Ruan's eyes.
Huo Sinian's plans were too elaborate.
If it was just as Jiang Yu and the others had arranged, it wouldn't be difficult for her to see through it.
But Huo Sinian tricked both Jiang Yu and Lin Bei into going in.
Even Huo Zhizhou estimated that such a plan might fool him.
It's just too real.
"You're so heartless! We've been so good to you, and you actually conspired with Huo Sinian to deceive us!" Lin Bei accused Huo Zhizhou's private doctor in the ward.
Jiang Yu also spoke up: "Old Tian, what you did was indeed immoral."
Lin Bei: "They should at least have informed us!"
Private doctor: "I've got it working, you just haven't seen it."
Jiang Yu: "When?"
Lin Bei: "How come I didn't know?"
"I didn't even look you in the eye when I announced President Huo's death," Dr. Tian said seriously. "Didn't you often say that my eyes tend to wander when I'm lying?"
Lin Bei: "?"
Jiang Yu: "?"
Is this what you call "ventilation"?
"Isn't everything alright now?" Dr. Tian tried to gloss over the situation. "You guys should think about how to explain to President Huo that you slept for two days."
These words were spoken.
Jiang Yu and Lin Bei subconsciously looked at Jiang Ruan.
If she still has no feelings for the BOSS, then they're probably doomed.
"Miss Jiang." Lin Bei's mood improved a bit after learning that Huo Zhizhou was alright. "How are you feeling now? Do you hate the BOSS or do you like him a little?"
"Would you like someone who deceives themselves?" Jiang Ruan asked rhetorically.
“The boss knew nothing about this,” Lin Bei quickly said, afraid that Jiang Ruan would blame everything on Huo Zhizhou. “It was all our doing. If you have any feelings, feel free to vent them to us.”
Assistant Jiang didn't speak, but his eyes conveyed the same meaning.
"Alright, you must be tired after all this trouble." Jiang Ruan looked at the exhaustion in their eyes and couldn't bear it. "Go and rest. Someone has to watch over him tonight."
"What you mean by that..." Lin Bei seemed to understand, "Can I interpret it as you not being angry?"
Jiang Ruan looked at them.
They didn't run away; they just stared at each other.
The eyes reveal a cautiousness regarding the matters on one's mind.
"We'll talk about whether I'm angry or not tomorrow." Jiang Ruan didn't give a direct answer. "The most important thing right now is to get better."
Lin Bei immediately smiled and said, "Okay."
Jiang Ruan: "Go ahead."
Jiang, the special assistant: "You've been up all night too, I'll take care of things here."
“I’ll call Lin Feng over,” Jiang Ruan said. “He can keep an eye on things during the day.”
Jiang paused for a moment.
They quickly understood the implied meaning of those words.
"Does the young master know he's alright?"
"It's nothing." Jiang Ruan understands Sui Sui, and naturally knows his thoughts and ideas.
Hearing her say that, Jiang Yu didn't say anything more.
Half an hour later.
Lin Feng brought Sui Sui over.
Seeing Huo Zhizhou sleeping peacefully in the hospital bed, Sui Sui toddled over to him.
On the way here, Jiang Ruan had already told him about the situation. Considering that the child was not very resilient, she did not tell him about the play within a play, but only said that Huo Sinian had put on a play with Jiang Yu and others.
Huo Zhizhou suffered some minor injuries.
Tell him that once Huo Zhizhou's injuries have healed a bit, they will go back to Haicheng together.
Upon hearing this, Sui Sui's eyes flashed with surprise: "You mean, take Daddy back to Haicheng with you?"
Jiang Ruan: "Mm."
Sui Sui glanced at the unconscious Huo Zhizhou.
Then I looked at my mom, who had a serious expression.
"Didn't you know this was all an act?" Sui Sui's round eyes were full of confusion. "Why..."
"I only agreed to take him back to Haicheng; I didn't agree to the rest," Jiang Ruan explained.
The meaning of this sentence will be understood year by year.
The thought of the three of them being together again warmed his heart.
However, he did not forget his father's previous ruthlessness. After much consideration, he decided to stand on his mother's side, since his father had already received some forgiveness from his mother.
“Then I’m just a stumbling block on his path to pursuing you,” Sui Sui said earnestly.
With Mommy agreeing to Daddy pursuing her, Daddy no longer needs him, so he can wholeheartedly stand on Mommy's side and become a "stumbling block".
Hmph.
"By the way, does Dad know about what happened last night?"
“I don’t know,” Jiang Ruan replied. “His memory is still stuck last night.”
Sui Sui: "Last night he even tried to send me back to Haicheng."
Jiang Ruan smiled and ruffled his hair.
Sui Sui started acting all haughty again: "When he wakes up, I'll tell him I'm leaving right away."
Jiang Ruan: "Okay."
"You should go and rest," Sui Sui urged her, not wanting her to be so tired. "Uncle Lin Feng and I will look after Dad."
Jiang Ruan gave them some more instructions before going to rest.
In the time that followed.
Jiang Ruan and the others are conserving their energy.
Lin Feng and Sui Sui sat by the hospital bed watching.
Perhaps it was because her suppressed emotions were gone, or perhaps it was because she knew that Jiang Ruan and Huo Zhizhou could get along peacefully in the future, but Sui Sui seemed quite happy and cheerful.
He can accept that his mother is raising him alone.
I can also accept that she and her father will never get along.
But even a child has selfish desires; if possible, he still hopes that his family will be happy forever.
While Lin Beijiang was thinking about these things, Lin Beijiang was also thinking about something over there.
Whether it was due to the overwhelming amount of things that had happened or some other reason, Lin Bei couldn't fall asleep for a long time after lying down. He even turned to look at Jiang Yu on the opposite bed and asked, "Are you asleep?"
Jiang Yu: "Speak."
Lin Bei propped his head up with one hand: "Did our plan succeed?"
Jiang Yu thought for a moment and said, "It should be."
"Will the BOSS blame us when he wakes up?" Lin Bei asked seriously.
"Possibly," Jiang Yu guessed based on his understanding, "but most of the retaliation will probably be directed at Huo Sinian, since what Huo Sinian did has worried Miss Jiang."
