Chapter 68 Will You Forgive Huo Zhizhou?
As she went downstairs, Su Bingcheng kept giving her meaningful glances, essentially telling her to stay in the room for a while.
But if Su Zhu were this obedient, she wouldn't be Su Zhu.
She plopped down next to Su Bingcheng, facing Huo Zhizhou and the others.
“Su Zhu…” Su Anran said deliberately, “No, you should call me sister now. I often heard Ruan Ruan mention you when we were in college. She said you were a righteous person and her best friend.”
"I'm not the sister of a mistress." Su Zhu casually picked up an apple and took a bite.
Su Anran's expression changed immediately.
She clearly hadn't expected Huo Zhizhou to be there, and she spoke so directly.
"Genes are a strange thing." Su Zhu took another bite, casually crossing her legs. "Mom is a mistress, and daughter is a mistress too. It's true what they say, birds of a feather flock together."
"I am now with you..." Su Anran hadn't finished speaking.
Su Zhu's gaze fell on her father again, and she didn't hold back at all: "But where there are mistresses, there are bound to be scumbags. Luckily, my mother's genes are strong, and I didn't inherit your bad genes."
Su Bingcheng: "..."
There's no need to criticize him too.
"Does my sister not like me?" Su Anran asked, looking aggrieved.
Su Zhu looked surprised: "Anyone with eyes can see that I don't like you. I didn't expect that you not only have bad character, but you're also blind."
A hint of hostility flashed in Su Anran's eyes, but she suppressed it in an instant. She bit her lip and tugged at Huo Zhizhou's sleeve with a touch of grievance.
Su Zhu saw this action and almost vomited up what she had just eaten.
“You’ve acknowledged your relatives and called him ‘Dad’,” Su Zhu tossed the apple core into the trash can, issuing an order to leave. “Shouldn’t you two get out of here?”
"Su Zhu!" Su Bingcheng reminded her in a low voice.
Su Zhu didn't care at all.
Anyway, she was unhappy, so there's no reason for her to have to put up with it.
"Miss Su really likes rolling around?" Huo Zhizhou asked unhurriedly. His well-fitting black suit made him look somewhat aloof, and his dark eyes gleamed with a hint of coldness as he spoke.
"My daughter is ignorant." Su Bingcheng didn't want to offend Huo Zhizhou, so he immediately smiled apologetically, "Please don't take it to heart, Mr. Huo."
Huo Zhizhou pursed his lips and remained silent.
The aura emanating from him, however, made people tremble in their hearts.
Su Bingcheng tugged at Su Zhu: "Aren't you going to apologize to President Huo?"
"Why should I?" Su Zhu didn't believe Huo Zhizhou could really kill her. As long as she didn't die, she didn't care about anything else.
“My little darling, you know how ruthless Huo Zhizhou is,” Su Bingcheng whispered in her ear, hoping she could see the situation clearly. “Have you thought about the consequences if you really anger him?”
Su Zhu looked away, making it clear she wasn't going to apologize.
Su Bingcheng tugged at her sleeve: "Hurry up, don't make things difficult for your future self."
“With Mom here, she won’t make me apologize.” Su Zhu said this very seriously.
Su Bingcheng paused.
She certainly wouldn't make her apologize; instead, she stubbornly insisted on right and wrong, just like her. Su Zhu's personality largely came from her mother.
In the current situation, failing to make appropriate compromises will only result in being targeted.
“Mr. Huo, I apologize on behalf of my daughter.” Su Bingcheng was flexible and adaptable. “I hope you won’t hold her nonsense against me. I will teach her a lesson later.”
Su Zhu tugged at him several times, but couldn't interrupt his apology.
Before Huo Zhizhou could speak, Su Anran stepped in as a peacemaker: "My sister is spoiled by Dad and Aunt Qi, and she doesn't know how to speak properly. Please don't take it to heart."
Su Zhu's temper flared up immediately.
Huo Zhizhou's gaze swept over her.
Personally, Su Zhu was Jiang Ruan's best friend, and he didn't want to go too far.
"Okay, I'll do as you say," he replied.
Su Anran: "?"
Su Anran's body stiffened for a moment.
When Ruan Ruan came to apologize before, she tried her best to persuade him, but he was unmoved. He even told her that Ruan Ruan's feelings were not a consideration for him, and that he only knew that she had hurt her.
But now...
Su Zhu could tell what Su Anran was thinking just by looking at her expression. She had only wanted to play the innocent and kind-hearted person, but Huo Gou really went along with her.
My initial annoyance vanished upon seeing her constipated-looking face.
"Thank you, Zhizhou," Su Anran said with a forced smile.
"How does President Su plan to resolve Anran's matter?" Huo Zhizhou brought the topic back to this point.
“It might be a bit difficult to get a household registration certificate. The head of our household is Su Zhu’s mother.” Su Bingcheng wouldn’t ruin his own plans for the sake of an illegitimate daughter. “She can’t possibly let her into the Su family.”
Huo Zhizhou slightly raised his eyes.
This result was unexpected.
Su Bingcheng was also good at making empty promises: "But don't worry, I will come up with a compromise solution as soon as possible."
Huo Zhizhou gave a faint "hmm," said "sorry to bother you," and got up to leave with Su Anran.
As she was leaving, Su Anran lingered, seemingly to disgust Su Zhu. As she stood up, she looked at Su Bingcheng with mixed feelings and asked, "Dad, can you hug me?"
Su Zhu's lips twitched.
She stared at Su Bingcheng, her eyes conveying a clear message: You dare to hug her and see what happens.
Su Bingcheng: "..."
“We’re both in relationships, so it’s not appropriate for us to be intimate,” Su Bingcheng said, trying to come up with a solution under the pressure from his daughter. “It wouldn’t be good if someone saw us.”
Su Anran wanted to refute, but she was afraid that Huo Zhizhou would really care, after all, she and Su Bingcheng had only met today.
Taking the opportunity, Su Bingcheng continued, "President Huo, take care."
Huo Zhizhou didn't say much and left with her.
No sooner had they left than Su Bingcheng said to Su Zhu with a helpless expression, "Why did you say those things on purpose? Weren't you deliberately trying to upset Huo Zhizhou?"
"Don't talk to me, you scumbag." Su Zhu was still a little angry.
“Su Anran was an accident,” Su Bingcheng explained.
Su Zhu walked upstairs: "Keep this to your mother; she probably already knows."
Su Bingcheng: "..."
Su Zhu went upstairs and told Jiang Ruan what had happened. When Jiang Ruan heard her say those things that could easily anger Huo Zhizhou, she was worried for her. Fortunately, Huo Zhizhou did not deliberately make things difficult for her afterwards.
As they chatted...
Su Zhu suddenly spoke very seriously: "Ruan Ruan."
Jiang Ruan: "Hmm?"
Su Zhu, having been in the business world for some time, understood some things clearly: "Judging from today's situation, Huo Zhizhou's affection for Su Anran is definitely not as great as yours. If one day he realizes his mistake, apologizes to you, and asks you to forgive him, would you forgive him?"
Won't.
This was Jiang Ruan's first reaction.
However, until that point in time, no one can give a definitive answer to many things.
"Maybe, maybe not." She answered after careful consideration, "But regardless of whether it happens or not, it's impossible for me to be with him again."
She forgave him because of the wonderful times they had shared over the past five years; she let go of him and herself.
By not forgiving, she separates the two, good from bad.
