Chapter 609 Compensation from Huo Zhizhou
"My goodness, please don't make things worse." Lin Bei covered his mouth, her heart pounding with panic.
Minor mischief in other matters is fine.
It's harmless.
But the boss is determined to hide his health condition from Miss Jiang. Isn't saying this just asking for trouble?
"Ugh... Ugh..." Lin Feng struggled with all his might.
Lin Bei said, "I want to live for two more days."
Lin Feng broke free in a few moments and said seriously, "I didn't say anything wrong. The BOSS hasn't been eating. He either spits out the food or puts it down after just one bite."
Lin Bei: "..."
That being said.
But how could I say that in front of Miss Jiang?
Just as she was thinking about how to make the BOSS have less of a problem with her brother, she saw that he had already left the scene with his phone and headed towards the study.
They also ruthlessly closed the door.
"You haven't eaten?" Jiang Ruan asked.
"I ate." Huo Zhizhou was quite good at lying. "I just had a cold and didn't have much of an appetite, so I ate very little."
Jiang Ruan: "I see."
Huo Zhizhou: "Mm."
Jiang Ruan originally wanted him to show her her current appearance so that she could tell at a glance whether she was eating normally.
But their relationship doesn't seem to be that close yet.
The divorced ex-husband and ex-wife...
Just like he said: "My affairs are none of your business as an ex-wife."
"Then I'll hang up now. Thank you for the evidence." Jiang Ruan said according to procedure, "I'll treat you to dinner sometime."
"No need," Huo Zhizhou refused.
Jiang Ruan: "Hmm?"
Huo Zhizhou: "This is what I should do, as compensation for you."
Jiang Ruan paused, her expression froze.
"I have something to attend to, so I'll hang up now. If there's anything we need to discuss regarding the evidence, feel free to contact me anytime... or Jiang Yu will also be fine." Huo Zhizhou didn't continue the conversation.
He was afraid that if he kept talking, he would inevitably tell her that he missed her very much.
I was afraid I wouldn't want to hang up the phone after finally getting to hear her voice.
I'm afraid of becoming dependent on her again.
Before Jiang Ruan could even say "good," Huo Zhizhou hung up the phone.
After five years of enjoying a wonderful life together, Jiang Ruan considered it carefully and finally asked Jiang Yu, "Is Huo Zhizhou's loss of appetite due to the flu, or is it like when he didn't eat during the divorce?"
Jiang Yu: "Influenza."
He would not reveal the full details about the BOSS unless absolutely necessary.
Jiang Ruan thought about what they had said before and felt relieved: "That's fine then."
Jiang Yu replied, "Don't worry, we will take good care of the BOSS."
After sending the message, he had someone prepare a new meal for Huo Zhizhou.
This time.
Huo Zhizhou ate a few bites, which was quite unusual for him.
There were no signs of vomiting even after half an hour.
Lin Bei observed the situation and discussed it with Assistant Jiang: "Do you think the BOSS ate just now because he was in a good mood after Miss Jiang called him, or for some other reason?"
"Miss Jiang called him," Assistant Jiang said, well aware of the situation.
“Then why don’t we just play Miss Jiang’s voice for him during every meal?” Lin Bei thought of a solution and became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke. “If all else fails, we can record Miss Jiang’s voiceprint and use AI to simulate her voice to send him messages.”
Assistant Jiang: "..."
Assistant Jiang kindly reminded him, "The boss just wants to contact Miss Jiang; he can hear her voice."
"Why not just use AI to pretend to make contact?" Lin Bei said.
"Do you think the BOSS can't tell?" Assistant Jiang asked rhetorically.
Lin Bei thought for a moment.
I can tell from the sound.
He had lived with Miss Jiang for so many years, he was very familiar with her voice.
"What do we do then?" Lin Bei asked. "Judging from the BOSS's previous reaction, he probably won't be able to eat again."
Jiang's assistant: "We'll see."
Lin Bei: "?"
Lin Bei was a little curious about his reaction: "Say it again?"
Assistant Jiang: "Hmm."
"Weren't you worried sick before? Afraid something might happen to the BOSS and you'd be done for here." Lin Bei didn't know why he had changed his mind so quickly. "Aren't you scared now?"
"I'm not afraid." Jiang Yu always plans things out.
Lin Bei asked curiously, "Why?"
Jiang Yu told him, "Through that phone call just now, I'm pretty sure that Miss Jiang doesn't hate him as much as the BOSS thinks. If he really can't make it here and is about to die, Miss Jiang will probably still come over."
Let's not even talk about our past relationship.
She would come just for the sake of the young master.
"Don't be too sure." Lin Bei wasn't sure about this matter. "What if Miss Jiang doesn't come and the BOSS is dead?"
Assistant Jiang said calmly, "It's not that serious. If something really happens and he faints, he can still get IV fluids. The boss is in good physical condition and can hold on for a few days."
"I think this is unlikely." Lin Bei glanced at Huo Zhizhou, his words carrying a hint of seriousness. "If Miss Jiang really cares, wouldn't the BOSS know?"
"Given the BOSS's personality, wouldn't he just shamelessly cling to her side?"
“That was indeed the case before.” Assistant Jiang had a vivid memory of what had happened before. “But the day Miss Jiang went to see Miss Si Ning, he suddenly changed. It was very strange.”
Lin Bei: "It must be that Miss Jiang really doesn't want to see him."
Assistant Jiang: "I'm more inclined to believe what President Gu said to him."
Although the BOSS's words indicated that he didn't want to cause trouble for Miss Jiang, if he really had that awareness, he wouldn't have shamelessly gone to Miss Jiang's house and tried to make his presence known everywhere.
This is very unusual.
"Ask?" Lin Bei asked tentatively.
"It's not time yet." Assistant Jiang was always planning things out. "Asking questions at this point won't do any good. Neither we nor President Gu can pull the BOSS out of his current state."
“Miss Jiang, who could have pulled him out, wouldn’t have offered her help,” Lin Bei finished his sentence.
Jiang's Special Assistant: "Yes."
Lin Bei sighed silently.
Fate is cruel.
If none of those things had happened, things wouldn't have come to this.
Assistant Jiang didn't say anything more, but checked on Huo Zhizhou's condition from time to time, worried that sudden eating might irritate his stomach. Although the menus were prepared by a nutritionist based on his physical condition, there was no guarantee that no unexpected things might happen.
At the same time.
Jiang Ruan's side.
After ending her conversation with Huo Zhizhou, she calmed herself down, copied the document onto her tablet, and took it to find Jiang An. When she arrived, Jiang An was teaching Sui Sui something.
She learns extremely quickly every year.
Extremely quick to learn.
"You watch over here first, I'll chat with your mommy for a bit." Jiang An rubbed Sui Sui's head.
Sui Sui nodded: "Mmm!"
Jiang Ruan glanced at their computer screens and asked, "What are you studying?"
"Sui Sui said she'd keep it a secret from you." Jiang An smiled gently.
Jiang Ruan looked at him and asked, "Can't I say a single word?"
Sui Sui shook her head and said crisply, "No."
Jiang Ruan: "Really not?"
"It's a secret." Sui Sui stood up and pushed her out, her chubby face showing a well-behaved expression. "You'll find out in a while, and I promise you'll be happy."
Jiang Ruan raised her eyebrows slightly.
Jiang An pulled her outside, saying, "Let's go, let's give the child some private space."
Jiang Ruan: "..."
Jiang Ruan looked at her.
Trying to get answers from her own mother.
“Don’t look at me, Sui Sui specifically told me not to tell you this,” Jiang An said.
Jiang Ruan: "What does it have to do with?"
Jiang An: "Study."
Jiang Ruan: "..."
Jiang An changed the subject: "What brings you here?"
Seeing her like this, Jiang Ruan knew that her mother would never tell her, so she simply handed her the tablet: "I have some information about Qin Muchuan here, please take a look."
