Chapter 451 I'm a scumbag, a top-tier scumbag
Gu Shixi suddenly stopped.
Dare you?
My first thought was that I was definitely going to get beaten up.
If Huo Er were to retaliate, he wouldn't be able to handle it.
"I'll only have half an hour." Si Ning glanced at his watch. "I have to go out to run errands in half an hour."
"Let's get down to business first." Gu Shixi took the opportunity to back down. "After we finish discussing business, we can talk about my brother's matter slowly."
After that.
Si Ning told Gu Shixi part of what had happened in the past.
No one mentioned Shan Mu'an in a tacit way. They only said that he used to have a good relationship with Jiang Ruan, that his relationship with Huo Cheng was strained, and that he was in competition with Huo Sinian. They also sorted out his network of relationships.
Having listened to everything but still not getting what he wanted to know, Huo Zhizhou simply asked directly, "Where is Su Anran?"
Gu Shixi: "Hmm?"
Si Ning looked over.
"Since I love Jiang Ruan so much, why would I divorce Su Anran?" Huo Zhizhou asked rationally. With Jiang Ruan's words in mind, he believed them. "It doesn't make sense logically."
“This…” Gu Shixi hesitated, then subconsciously looked at Si Ning.
Huo Zhizhou noticed this little action.
Almost instantly.
He was sure they knew.
"We're not really sure either." Gu Shixi lied, deciding not to talk about Mu Ge for the time being. "You never talk much about your love life except for showing off your relationship."
Si Ning: "Mm."
“I asked you that question back then, but you didn’t say anything,” Gu Shixi said as if it were the truth, “and you even gave me a very dangerous look.”
Huo Zhizhou did not respond.
The fact that they didn't tell him means that this matter might have a significant impact.
After all, if such a decision was made simply out of stupidity, Si Ning would probably expose it without hesitation.
"What things did I do to hurt Jiang Ruan because of the divorce?" he asked again.
“Well… there are quite a few.” Gu Shixi made no attempt to hide anything. “For example, even though you knew that Su Anran had wronged Jiang Ruan and was a green tea bitch, you still sided with her and targeted Jiang Ruan.”
Huo Zhizhou: "?"
Gu Shixi: "Also, you were angry that she brought up divorce, so you deliberately asked me to act out a scene to scare her, and even said that you were giving her to me. Although it was just acting, but... you know what I mean."
Si Ning's previously nonchalant expression immediately changed.
She looked at Huo Zhizhou, but asked Gu Shixi, "Is that so?"
"This happened when I first returned to China." Gu Shixi noticed Si Ning's emotional state and lowered his voice. "It even scared her to tears."
"I didn't realize Second Young Master Huo was so good at it." Si Ning took the phone, her slow tone carrying a clear hint of sarcasm. "Since that's the case, take your time finding your memories. Don't come looking for me again."
Huo Zhizhou: "..."
Gu Shixi held his breath and concentrated.
It's not fear.
Just watching the show.
"How do I know if he's telling the truth or not?" Huo Zhizhou subconsciously didn't want to admit it.
“I can vouch for the truth.” Gu Shixi was eager to see the drama unfold. Anyway, he was abroad, so Huo Er couldn’t do anything to him. “Su Zhu knows too. If all else fails, we can ask Jiang Ruan.”
Si Ning raised her chin, still with that nonchalant aura, but the disdain and contempt in her eyes were obvious: "The door is there, take care."
Huo Zhizhou rubbed his temples.
I can't believe I actually did such a thing.
No wonder Jiang Ruan disliked him so much.
"Are you waiting for me to call security?" Si Ning said.
"I came to find you because I don't want to go down the wrong path." Huo Zhizhou faced the past directly. "You probably don't want me to unintentionally hurt Jiang Ruan again because of my amnesia."
Si Ning shifted her gaze to one side.
Ignore what he says.
He divorced Jiang Ruan to keep a promise, and she didn't stop him. First, she didn't want to interfere too much in their marital affairs. Second, even if they really divorced, it wouldn't be a big deal. At most, Jiang Ruan would get rid of the scumbag, and Huo Zhizhou would have to go through a wife-chasing nightmare.
result.
They even did something like that.
"It's simple if you don't want to hurt her." Si Ning wasn't fooled. She remained leaning back on the sofa, her voice languid. "Just stay away from her."
The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Gu Shixi coughed lightly twice.
I felt I should have said those things after we finished discussing the matter.
"Huo Er," he broke the awkward silence.
Huo Zhizhou looked at the phone in Si Ning's hand.
Gu Shixi changed the subject: "Do you still think promises are important now?"
Huo Zhizhou: "?"
Si Ning glanced at him subconsciously.
Fearing that continuing the conversation would give her away or that more people would notice, Si Ning hung up the video call, put her phone in her coat pocket, and stood up: "I'm going out now. You can talk about whatever you want on your phones."
Things have come to this.
Huo Zhizhou also knew that there was no point in staying here any longer.
He left Si Ning's house and returned to his hotel.
Sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room of the presidential suite, watching the cars and pedestrians coming and going below, my mind drifted back to everything I had talked about with Si Ning and Gu Shixi.
promise……
What has he done in the past because of a promise?
Just then, there was a knock on the hotel door. When I opened it, I saw Lu Er and Su Anran standing outside.
"Is something the matter?" Huo Zhizhou asked.
"What do you think?" Lu Er walked inside, glancing back and forth between him and Su Anran a few times. "I wonder whose girlfriend this is. She upset him yesterday and didn't even try to comfort her."
As they were talking.
Young Master Lu sat down in the living room of the suite.
Su Anran followed them inside.
"I've said it before, she isn't," Huo Zhizhou reiterated.
"Did I do something wrong?" Su Anran acted out the scene Huo Sinian had instructed her to, her eyes reddening. "We were perfectly fine before. You even said you'd take me to pick out a ring and accompany me to try on wedding dresses soon."
"Is that so?" Huo Zhizhou had a strong aura, yet his words remained calm.
Su Anran: "Yes."
"Then how do you explain this?" Huo Zhizhou stretched out his left hand, and on his ring finger was the wedding ring he and Jiang Ruan wore, which he still wore to this day.
Lu Er was puzzled at first, but paused after he saw the ring clearly.
Why didn't Si Nian take this off for him...?
“This is a gift I gave you when we were dating,” Su Anran said without hesitation. “You’ve worn it on your wrist all these years.”
Huo Zhizhou looked up: "You wore it on your wrist even during your marriage to Jiang Ruan?"
Su Anran nodded: "Yes, but you lied to her and said that this ring was a pair with her wedding ring."
Huo Zhizhou took off the ring and examined it closely.
There was a ring mark on his ring finger, which showed that he had indeed worn the ring for a long time.
A moment later, he put it back on without saying a word, and naturally didn't tell them that there were inconspicuous initials of Huo Zhizhou and Jiang Ruan on the inner ring.
"Did you remember something?" Su Anran asked.
“No.” Huo Zhizhou sat with his legs crossed and his hands resting naturally beside him. “But this ring is indeed quite old. If what you said is true, it only proves one thing.”
"What?" Su Anran asked.
Young Master Lu also looked over.
Huo Zhizhou bluntly stated: "I'm a scumbag, a top-tier scumbag."
