Chapter 200 Don't you think you're being hypocritical?
Jiang Ruan shook him off without saying a word and went upstairs.
Thinking about what he said, my worry grew faster and faster.
What if he really does something drastic?
The moment this thought crossed my mind, one sentence after another came to mind: Huo Zhizhou's target is her; as long as she doesn't turn back, his madness is nothing to worry about.
But can they really calculate it?
Jiang Ruan struggled through more than an hour, caught between two conflicting thoughts.
In the five years of their marriage, Huo Zhizhou had never lost his temper with her. During this time, his behavior was terrible, but it didn't seem to be related to anger. She didn't know what the consequences of his anger would be, let alone what it would look like.
There was a knock on the door.
Huo Zhizhou's voice rang out from outside the door: "Sui Sui has already entered the community gate, she'll be here in a few minutes."
Jiang Ruan opened the door.
He didn't even glance at him as he brushed past him.
Huo Zhizhou walked with her and took the initiative to ease the tension: "I was just afraid you would leave without saying goodbye, I didn't mean to scare you."
Jiang Ruan did not respond.
She said goodbye, so how could she leave?
"If you're still angry, you can take it out on me." Huo Zhizhou took her hand and stayed by her side without leaving her side. "Don't keep it all bottled up by yourself, it's not good for your health."
Jiang Ruan stopped and said bluntly, "Don't you think you're being hypocritical?"
Huo Zhizhou: "Hmm?"
"If you really thought getting angry was bad for your health, you wouldn't have given me the chance to get angry." Jiang Ruan was dissatisfied with him, and to some extent, she hoped that the two of them would divorce peacefully.
Huo Zhizhou countered, "And what about you?"
Jiang Ruan was still angry: "What?"
"How much of what you said was true and how much was false?" Huo Zhizhou's voice was low and deep. "You said you wouldn't leave, but is that really what you think?"
The atmosphere instantly became tense.
The two stood facing each other without saying another word.
until--
"Mommy!" Sui Sui's clear voice rang out as she ran in with her short little legs and hugged Jiang Ruan. "I missed you so much."
Jiang Ruan's mood eased at this moment: "Mommy misses you too. How have you been these past few days? Are you happy?"
Sui Sui's eyes sparkled: "Happy!"
Jiang Ruan gave him a gentle hug.
Seeing this, a gentle light flashed in Huo Zhizhou's eyes. Just as he was about to ask them to sit over there and chat, his phone rang. The screen displayed the three words "Su Anran".
Huo Zhizhou's eyes darkened slightly.
The timing of these calls has been so coincidental.
He wouldn't believe there wasn't something going on here.
"I'm going to take this call," Huo Zhizhou whispered to them.
When Jiang Ruan saw that it was Su Anran calling, she didn't say anything and took Sui Sui upstairs. She asked him if he was hungry and wanted to have a late-night snack, and chatted with him about the fun things that happened at summer camp.
Halfway through the conversation, Sui Sui suddenly asked intently, "Mommy, is Grandma feeling better now?"
"Much better," Jiang Ruan said. "I can walk slowly now, and after a while I should be able to walk like us."
"When are we leaving?" Sui Sui blurted out.
Jiang Ruan paused for a moment.
A slight ripple stirred in his chest: "You..."
Sui Sui glanced at the door and, seeing that her father hadn't come up yet, decisively said, "You and Dad didn't get a divorce, and Dad hasn't broken off contact with that aunt. Knowing your personality, you definitely want to leave!"
Jiang Ruan's tense mood suddenly softened tonight.
An invisible force began to support her.
"You didn't think about taking me with you, did you?" Sui Sui asked, her round eyes wide open.
“I was afraid you wouldn’t want to come with me.” Seeing that he had already said it, Jiang Ruan didn’t hide anything anymore. “After all, this is where you grew up, and your friends are all here.”
“You are the most important person to me,” Sui Sui blurted out.
Jiang Ruan grabbed his small hand: "Then I'll secretly kidnap you?"
Sui Sui smiled slyly: "It was my choice to go with you."
Jiang Ruan told him the truth: "I don't plan to tell your father about this. We'll leave sometime after your grandmother's condition improves."
"Mmm!" Sui Sui nodded.
"Aren't you going to ask why?" Jiang Ruan hadn't expected things to go so smoothly than she had imagined.
“If we told Dad, he definitely wouldn’t let us leave. He doesn’t want you to leave.” Although he is young, he sees things clearly. “But he was wrong in this matter.”
He also didn't want his parents to separate.
But Mom isn't happy here.
Leaving is the best option.
"Thank you, baby." Jiang Ruan hugged him; it was very important to her to have her child's understanding and support.
Huo Zhizhou came up shortly after the two finished talking. Seeing the way the two looked at him, a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.
That expression...
"Is that the auntie looking for you?" Not only Jiang Ruan saw the phone call, but Sui Sui also noticed the note on it.
"There's something I need to go and take care of." Huo Zhizhou didn't deny it, and reached out to ruffle his short hair. "Be good later, and don't make your mommy worry."
Sui Sui asked him, "Can you not go?"
Huo Zhizhou paused.
“I don’t like her.” It was rare for Sui Sui to talk to him like this, mainly because she wanted her father to leave a good impression on her mother before leaving. “Ever since she came along, our family has fallen apart.”
Jiang Ruan unconsciously tightened her grip on his hand.
Huo Zhizhou pursed his thin lips into a straight line.
After a while.
He spoke up: "I'm sorry, this is something Dad owed her before, and now he has to pay it back slowly."
“If you leave, you’ll just be Uncle Huo from now on.” It was rare for Sui Sui to utter a threatening word.
He knows a lot, but he's still just a child.
He may play and joke around on weekdays, but he still feels a little reluctant to leave. After all, his father is the best person to him besides his mother, and he prefers to stay with his mother unless absolutely necessary.
"You talk like you're calling someone 'Dad' right now." Huo Zhizhou reached out and lightly flicked his head. "Be good, I'll be back soon."
After speaking, he glanced up at Jiang Ruan.
Then, without saying anything, he turned and left.
After leaving the villa and getting into his car, he tapped a few times on his phone and sent a message: "[Are you enjoying using Su Anran?]"
Huo Sinian: [?]
Huo Sinian: [What happened?]
Huo Zhizhou: [Your sister-in-law probably doesn't know that your parents have arranged a fiancée for you. Should I tell her?]
Huo Sinian's eyes narrowed slightly upon seeing the message.
Fingertips caress the screen.
Huo Zhizhou called his cell phone and stated his purpose clearly: "Don't use Su Anran to disturb my time with Jiang Ruan anymore, or I won't hesitate to use the same method on you."
Su Anran would call him every time his relationship with Jiang Ruan was slightly more harmonious.
One could say it was a coincidence.
But repeated occurrences can only mean that someone is stirring up trouble behind the scenes.
Since Su Anran herself couldn't possibly have that ability, the only one left was Huo Sinian, who had previously been in contact with her.
"I'll be waiting anytime." Huo Sinian said calmly, seemingly unconcerned.
“I’m going to give my sister-in-law ten million yuan directly and tell her that you won’t be able to find her afterward. Do you think she will leave you?” Every word Huo Zhizhou said hit the nail on the head.
"You can try it if you don't mind the waste," Huo Sinian said, still in the same tone. "I'd like to see it too."
