Chapter 695 Unless you don't want to live
"Miss Jiang," Lin Feng greeted her.
Jiang Ruan nodded slightly and said clearly and decisively, "You go ahead and get busy. I want to have a private chat with your boss."
Lin Feng: "Okay."
He left after saying that.
Extremely straightforward.
Seeing this, Huo Zhizhou felt a sense of surprise.
These people now listen to Ruan Ruan without question, even when he is present. Once Ruan Ruan agrees, they will not ask for his opinion again.
That's good.
In case anything happens to him, they will protect Ruan Ruan.
"What would you like to drink?" Huo Zhizhou stood up and asked. "I'll have Jiang Yu and the others prepare it."
"No need, I can't sit for long." Jiang Ruan was very cold, and there was more anger in her eyes when she looked at him than before.
Huo Zhizhou sensed this difference: "You...aren't you happy?"
Jiang Ruan pulled up a chair and sat down opposite him: "Let's get down to business."
"Okay." Huo Zhizhou obediently sat down.
Looking at the person in front of her who was much more reserved than before, Jiang Ruan couldn't help but think of the will she had just seen, and the emotions she had managed to suppress suddenly resurfaced.
"What would you like to talk about?" Huo Zhizhou asked proactively.
"What's going on here?" Jiang Ruan placed a copy of the will on the small table between the two of them, her clear black and white eyes staring straight at him with obvious questioning.
Huo Zhizhou was puzzled at first, but stopped when he saw the words on the cover: "Who gave it to you?"
"I just went to your study to use the computer and accidentally found it," Jiang Ruan said casually.
Huo Zhizhou shifted his gaze from above to her, exposing her lie: "Given our current relationship, you wouldn't even walk into the study without permission, let alone find this document."
He knows Ruan Ruan's personality all too well.
Even if it's urgent, she'll have Jiang Yu and others come and talk to him.
Even if he didn't care, she always had a line of defense and a wall in her heart, not allowing him to get any closer, let alone such behavior that was obviously impolite from the outside.
"Are you saying I shouldn't have gone in?" Jiang Ruan said deliberately, "Do you think I was rude and offended you?"
Huo Zhizhou: "No."
Jiang Ruan was still angry about him making a will: "Then what do you mean?"
These few words made Huo Zhizhou realize that Jiang Ruan was truly angry.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been "making a scene" even after their divorce.
“I know Jiang Yu took you there.” After clarifying the situation, Huo Zhizhou decided to lay it all out on the table, “Only he knows where this thing is; Lin Feng and Lin Bei don’t know either.”
"He knows?" Jiang Ruan asked back.
Huo Zhizhou: "You don't need to cover for him, I won't blame him."
Jiang Ruan breathed a slight sigh of relief, but didn't show it on her face: "Tell me why you erected this?"
"Just in case," Huo Zhizhou replied, having already prepared his reason. "I am all alone now. If I were to die unexpectedly one day, my assets would most likely fall into the hands of the Huo family, and I don't want that."
"How did you die so tragically?" Jiang Ruan asked. "Besides Lin Bei and Lin Feng, you also had other bodyguards protecting you in secret. Who could hurt you, and who could pose a danger to you?"
Myself.
Huo Zhizhou didn't dare say those three words.
He knew that if he said it, Ruan Ruan would definitely be angry.
"Unless you don't want to live yourself," Jiang Ruan said, revealing his true feelings.
"I want to live," Huo Zhizhou said.
However, his mental state was causing trouble for his physical body.
The spiritual self wants to kill the physical self.
He desperately wanted to live, to see her and Sui Sui live happily ever after, but...
"Then live well." Jiang Ruan pushed the copy closer to him. "Tear it up and invalidate the official documents from the lawyer, otherwise you're lying."
Huo Zhizhou: "Ruan Ruan..."
Jiang Ruan: "You don't need to worry about your property being taken away by the Huo family after your accidental death. If you want, I can take all your property and put it in Sui Sui's name."
Huo Zhizhou moved his lips.
He knew she had seen through his thoughts.
“My current abilities, along with my mother and Uncle Li’s support, should be enough to convince you that I have this capability,” Jiang Ruan said.
"Of course I believe it," Huo Zhizhou said, his mind a jumble of emotions. "However..."
Jiang Ruan interrupted him: "No, unless you're lying to me and you don't want to live a good life at all."
Huo Zhizhou was about to speak.
"Or perhaps you're trying to use this to force me to accept you and be with you." Jiang Ruan deliberately said these hurtful words to provoke Huo Zhizhou and prevent him from doing that again.
But Huo Zhizhou knew her too well.
Understand the subtext of her every word, and understand the mood behind her every action and expression.
"Thank you," he said suddenly.
Jiang Ruan: "?"
Huo Zhizhou looked at her, and his heart, which had been relatively calm until now, warmed at this moment: "I will live well until the end of my life."
A calm sentence made Jiang Ruan's heart skip a beat.
She knew very well that his mindset had not changed.
If she leaves him, she will most likely revert to her old ways.
"Why?" she asked.
Why did things turn out like this after we separated?
Why can't we live without being together?
Why be so obsessive in the first place?
If he remains steadfast in his choice not to let outsiders into their marriage, she will always love him and stay together happily.
"I'm sorry..." Huo Zhizhou knew the subtext of her question and said with a complex and apologetic tone.
The conversation ended without a conclusion.
Jiang Ruan knew she couldn't persuade Huo Zhizhou.
Huo Zhizhou also knew that she would not remarry him.
Between them... it was destined that they would be separated by vast distances, each carrying their own unspoken thoughts.
"I have other things to do for the next few days, so Sui Sui will stay with you." Before leaving, Jiang Ruan made an excuse to have Sui Sui stay with him. "If you don't want to take care of her, just send me a message."
"Thank you." Huo Zhizhou understood.
Jiang Ruan didn't say anything more and walked away.
This scene was clearly seen by Jiang Yulin, Lin Beilin, Feng Suisui, and the other two who were hiding in the corner.
"Miss Jiang, did you and the BOSS not reach an agreement?" Lin Bei noticed that the expressions on their faces were off and the atmosphere was strange.
Sui Sui: "Mmm."
Lin Bei was about to speak.
He suddenly realized that it was Sui Sui who answered him.
He was startled, fearing it might have some psychological impact on him: "It's possible that they just haven't reached an agreement yet, and maybe they'll come to their senses and make up in a couple of days."
“That’s impossible.” Sui Sui said decisively, then glanced at Huo Zhizhou a few more times before looking away. “I’m leaving now. Mommy will probably talk to me about something. Keep an eye on Daddy’s situation for me.”
Jiang, Special Assistant: "Okay."
Lin Feng: "No problem."
Lin Bei just watched Sui Sui leave.
At that moment, he suddenly realized that the conversations last night were all serious. Their young master was so mature and composed at such a young age, and he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
"Something on your mind?" Assistant Jiang noticed his expression.
"What could be on my mind?" Lin Bei didn't intend to say. "I'm just thinking about how the BOSS will punish you for taking Miss Jiang to the study."
They had heard almost the entire conversation.
Naturally, they also knew that the BOSS knew it was Jiang Yu who did it.
