Chapter 255 Good thing we parted
"I'm sorry I couldn't go with you to get our marriage certificate on time," Huo Zhizhou said in a low, hoarse voice.
He remembered that morning when everything went black and he experienced tinnitus. He wanted to call her to explain what happened, but as soon as he picked up his phone, he uncontrollably collapsed to the ground, only regaining consciousness just now.
Jiang Ruan: "It's okay, we can just pick it up later."
Huo Zhizhou hummed in agreement.
Silence fell between the two.
No one spoke again.
Jiang Ruan stood up with her phone in hand, her face deliberately showing indifference and aloofness: "I'll go tell Dr. Zhou and Assistant Jiang."
"Can you not go?" Huo Zhizhou grabbed her wrist, finally unable to restrain himself.
Jiang Ruan stopped, turning to face him.
Huo Zhizhou's gaze fell on her, and he was reluctant to let go of her hand: "Just for a little while."
Jiang Ruan composed herself and looked at him again with boundless indifference: "I hope you will keep your promise to Haicheng."
These words were like a knife piercing Huo Zhizhou's chest.
He loosened his grip on Jiang Ruan's wrist little by little until it fell limply to the ground.
Jiang Ruan turned and left the ward without looking at him again, telling Assistant Jiang and Dr. Zhou about his awakening.
Everyone came over.
Dr. Zhou inquired about his physical condition.
Huo Zhizhou answered them one by one, but his gaze passed over everyone and landed on Jiang Ruan, who was standing at the far side with an indifferent expression. She seemed to have really stopped loving him, and there was not a trace of emotion in her eyes.
"It's nothing serious, he just needs to rest," Dr. Zhou told him.
Huo Zhizhou remained silent.
Dr. Zhou then gave some further instructions: "Also, you need to pay attention to your three meals a day..."
Huo Zhizhou: "Jiang Yu."
Assistant Jiang immediately stepped forward: "Here."
Huo Zhizhou: "Go and process your discharge."
Dr. Zhou: "???"
So all his words just now were for nothing?
“Okay.” Assistant Jiang knew that neither he nor Dr. Zhou could change their boss’s decision, and he also knew that Miss Jiang wouldn’t try to persuade him at this moment because she was focused on getting a divorce.
“Mr. Huo, your current health is not suitable for continuing to work overtime.” Dr. Zhou said boldly, “If you continue like this, something bad could happen.”
Huo Zhizhou picked up the clothes beside him and put them on, his eyes indifferent: "I don't work overtime."
Dr. Zhou mustered up his courage and asked, "Then why are you in such a hurry to be discharged?"
Huo Zhizhou parted his thin lips slightly: "Divorce."
Dr. Zhou paused, then slowly shifted his gaze to Jiang Ruan.
Silence fell in the ward, and everyone wisely kept quiet.
After buttoning up the last button of his shirt, Huo Zhizhou took his suit jacket and got out of bed. After several hours of unconsciousness, he had fully recovered. He told Jiang Yu, "Prepare the car, we're going to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
“It’s already past closing time by now,” Assistant Jiang said, glancing at Jiang Ruan.
Hopefully, Jiang Ruan will have a change of heart and persuade the BOSS to eat properly.
To avoid developing stomach problems.
Huo Zhizhou's gaze fell on Jiang Ruan, making it clear that if she wanted to go and get him now, he would let Jiang Yu negotiate. If possible, they could wait until the afternoon when they went to work to have lunch first.
"Meet me at the Civil Affairs Bureau entrance at 2 PM." Jiang Ruan continued her indifference, putting her phone into her bag. "I'm leaving now."
"I'll see you off," Assistant Jiang said.
“No need.” Mo Mo quickly stepped forward to stop him, his face even more serious than Lin Feng’s. “I’ll take care of my young lady.”
Lin Feng gave him a thumbs up.
Mo Mo replied politely.
Everyone: "???"
Do these two have some kind of problem?
As Jiang Ruan and Mo Mo left, the ward, which had been quiet for a moment, fell back into an eerie atmosphere. Everyone looked at each other, unsure of what to say next.
Nobody wants to invite bad luck at this time.
Except for Lin Feng.
He strode forward to Huo Zhizhou, seemingly oblivious to the tense atmosphere: "Boss, you should go eat."
Huo Zhizhou ignored him, his mind filled with the image of Jiang Ruan's coldness just now.
"Lin Feng said you felt nauseous after your meal earlier, and that everything you ate was wasted," Jiang Yu said rather tactfully. "Is that true?"
Huo Zhizhou slightly raised his eyes.
Lin Feng: "!"
Lin Feng looked at him in disbelief: "I didn't say that."
At a crucial moment, Assistant Jiang didn't hesitate to betray his teammates: "How would we know if you didn't tell us?"
Lin Bei: "Mm."
Dr. Zhou: "Hmm."
"You told me to tell Miss Jiang, and that's what Miss Jiang said," Lin Feng quickly explained, not wanting Huo Zhizhou to think he wasn't someone who could keep secrets. "It has nothing to do with me."
Huo Zhizhou's eyes showed a slight change in expression.
Assistant Jiang spoke up appropriately: "Boss, for the sake of your health, you should eat a little. The stomach is a very important organ."
Seeing that he didn't speak, Assistant Jiang pressed his advantage: "If you don't speak, I'll take that as a yes?"
"Lin Bei, prepare the car." Assistant Jiang's mind worked quickly. "I'll go book a restaurant."
"Okay." Lin Bei cooperated.
Half an hour later.
They appeared at the restaurant where Jiang Ruan and Mo Mo were.
As they walked in, Mo Mo bluntly exposed them without giving them any face: "Miss, they must have come with you."
Jiang Ruan: "Don't worry about it."
Mo Mo: "Okay."
Before Huo Zhizhou and his group's food was even served, Jiang Ruan and Mo Mo had already finished eating and left.
Throughout the entire process, apart from seeing Jiang Ruan, Huo Zhizhou didn't say a single word to her.
Assistant Jiang was a little overwhelmed. If he hadn't spent so much time finding out where Miss Jiang was eating, the boss might have been able to spend a little more time with her.
"Boss, I..."
"Don't deliberately book the same restaurant as Ruan Ruan in the future." Huo Zhizhou suppressed his uncontrollable heart. "I promised her that I would not appear in her sight except for the time of divorce."
“But the social circle is only so big.” Assistant Jiang felt that Ms. Jiang’s suggestion was a bit difficult. “It’s hard to guarantee that we won’t run into each other at some dinner parties.”
The Huo Group's main operations are in Jingzhou, but it also has some connections with Haicheng.
It would be quite difficult to completely avoid contact with the Qin and Li families after Miss Jiang made contact with them.
Huo Zhizhou: "Then I won't go."
Assistant Jiang hesitated for a moment, then finally agreed: "Okay."
Huo Zhizhou didn't eat much at the meal. He just ate a little and put down his chopsticks. Assistant Jiang wanted to persuade him, but fell silent when he saw Huo's silent face.
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Jiang Ruan and Huo Zhizhou appeared outside the Civil Affairs Bureau at the same time, and went inside with their identification and relevant documents.
Looking at the handsome couple, Lin Bei glanced at Assistant Jiang and asked, "Are you just going to watch the boss divorce Miss Jiang like this?"
Assistant Jiang: "Hmm."
Lin Bei: "If the boss is already in such a bad state just from mentioning divorce, wouldn't it be even worse if they actually got divorced?"
Assistant Jiang remained silent.
He shares the same concerns as him.
But what's done is done, and there's nothing they can do to change it.
"Are you just going to watch Miss Jiang get divorced? Don't you plan to say anything?" Lin Bei asked, looking at Mo Mo, who stood silently to the side, looking handsome and refined.
Mo Mo asked in a very serious tone, "What did you say?"
Lin Bei: "Thoughts and feelings."
Mo Mo said, word by word, "Good riddance."
Assistant Jiang: "..."
Lin Bei: "..."
