Chapter 926 I Will Protect You
The two chatted for a couple more minutes before hanging up.
As the call ended, Huo Zhizhou, who was reading a book on the single sofa next to him, spoke up: "I thought you would agree."
"If it were Su Zhu, I would agree," Jiang Ruan said directly.
Perhaps she is heartless, or perhaps she is indifferent.
In her mind, friends are also divided into different levels.
Su Zhu was the one she cared about the most.
"I was just thinking about how I could refuse you if you asked for my help in a way that wouldn't make you angry, but would still convince you," Huo Zhizhou said calmly.
Jiang Ruan: "Because of Huo Sinian?"
Huo Zhizhou: "Mm."
Jiang Ruan: "Will he try to steal the bride?"
"I don't know." Huo Zhizhou didn't give a direct answer to this question about the future, but only gave his guess: "Based on my understanding of him, he would snatch it, and he might even resort to any means necessary."
"For example?" Jiang Ruan asked.
"It's hard to predict," Huo Zhizhou said.
Jiang Ruan didn't ask any more questions.
Seeing her looking at the computer, Huo Zhizhou asked, "You're not angry with me?"
Jiang Ruan: "What's it to you?"
Huo Zhizhou: "I did not stop Huo Sinian."
"You're doing this for Sui Sui and me." Jiang Ruan wasn't stupid; she could see through it.
Huo Sinian is no ordinary person; when he really goes crazy, he's quite terrifying.
“However…” Jiang Ruan frowned, thinking of what had happened before. “Although you and Huo Sinian have a gentleman’s agreement, if he causes someone’s death, I still hope you can persuade him to stop.”
Whether for Qin Mo and Lin Tan's sake, or for Huo Sinian's own sake, they should stop it.
Feelings are feelings, and life is life.
"Don't worry, if things really get out of control, I'll stop them," Huo Zhizhou said calmly. "If there's no danger, let them do whatever they want."
In the time that followed.
Everyone was busy with their own things.
Because Qin Mo was preparing for his wedding, the company was basically managed by Jiang Ruan.
The week leading up to the wedding arrived quickly.
That day.
Jiang Ruan accepted Qin Mo's invitation and went to their place.
Upon seeing her arrive, Qin Mo became less aloof and more approachable, while Lin Tan greeted her warmly: "You're here! Come and sit down, coffee or tea?"
"No need to trouble yourself." Jiang Ruan had no intention of causing them any trouble. "I can't stay for long; I have a meeting to attend later."
That being said.
Qin Mo still went to prepare.
Lin Tan then pulled Jiang Ruan upstairs to chat.
At first, the two chatted about everyday things, but Lin Tan began to express her feelings: "I have always owed you a heartfelt thank you. If it weren't for your help, I might still be with Huo Sinian, living a life without freedom and with no hope of tomorrow."
“It’s also possible that you’ve gathered evidence against Huo Sinian and taken him to court.” Jiang Ruan didn’t want her to have such a heavy psychological burden.
"Perhaps." Lin Tan knew in her heart that she couldn't do it, after all, even Qin Mo couldn't do anything to Huo Sinian when they faced each other. "I'm still very grateful to you. I benefited a lot from what you said to me."
“Even without me saying anything, you would have figured it out by now,” Jiang Ruan said. “You’ve just been suppressed by him for a long time.”
Lin Tan's feelings were somewhat complicated.
Jiang Ruan changed the subject: "Have the bridesmaids been arranged?"
Lin Tan nodded: "It's all arranged."
"I will spend most of my time with you on our wedding day, and even if we're not together, I'll be within your sight." Jiang Ruan came here specifically to tell her this, so that she could have a peaceful wedding.
"Okay." Lin Tan accepted readily.
A while later.
Lin Tan asked her with a slightly teasing tone, "How are things going between you and Young Master Huo?"
Jiang Ruan paused for a moment.
It returned to normal in just a moment.
"Unclear and ambiguous," she used four words to describe it.
"If he knew you said that, he would definitely pester you to give him a proper title." Lin Tan thought of the rumors she had heard and joked, "He would also drag you to Grandpa's place and let the old man judge."
Jiang Ruan thought for a moment: "Probably not."
Lin Tan: "Hmm?"
Jiang Ruan: "If he keeps pestering me and complaining everywhere, he'll be thrown out."
Lin Tan: "Really throw it?"
Jiang Ruan nodded: "Mm."
Lin Tan: "He didn't resist?"
Jiang Ruan: "No, I'll just wait."
“He has changed quite a bit,” Lin Tan said truthfully. “My impression of him is that he seems to be a bit ruthless in achieving his goals.”
Jiang Ruan did not deny it.
That's exactly how Huo Zhizhou was in the past.
However, it must be admitted that he has changed significantly in the past year or two.
He gave her the power of attorney that could determine his life or death during surgery, and gave her all the property he could transfer. If she told him to go east, he would never go west.
"So, are you planning to remarry him?" Lin Tan was quite curious about this.
"We'll see," Jiang Ruan said, adding that she wasn't in a hurry.
Fear of marriage, too.
It's fine if you're worried that it's all just a show put on by Huo Zhizhou.
She doesn't want to get married right now; she's quite satisfied with her current life.
The two chatted for a while longer, and Jiang Ruan left after clarifying everything with Lin Tan. She was very busy right now, with many important decisions to make.
As she left, Lin Tan and Qin Mo escorted her to the door.
Watching her car drive further and further away, Lin Tan couldn't help but sigh, "Jiang Ruan has really changed a lot, but she's so charming. I really want to be as amazing as her."
"You're also very capable, shining brightly in your field," Qin Mo praised her.
"There's something I'm curious about," Lin Tan said.
Qin Mo: "What?"
Lin Tan: "Jiang Ruan is so amazing now, besides her own hard work, she must also have some of your aunt's and Chairman Li's genes. I'm such a good actor, could it be that my parents are also actors?"
"I'll try my best to find it for you." Qin Mo rubbed her head.
"I was just joking." Lin Tan was indeed just saying it casually, "But if I were Jiang Ruan, I probably wouldn't dare to get married again in my life."
Qin Mo: "Why?"
Lin Tan: "I can't get a divorce, it's terrifying."
“She has enough leverage now,” Qin Mo analyzed rationally. “Even if she goes to court against Huo Zhizhou, she has a 50% chance of winning.”
“Not even half,” Lin Tan said.
Qin Mo: "?"
Qin Mo was surprised: "Didn't you just praise her for being amazing?"
“It has nothing to do with how powerful or not,” Lin Tan said. “Divorce cases are very difficult to grant. Unless there is no major fault and one party does not want to divorce and wants to stay together, the court generally will not grant the divorce.”
This is probably why Jiang Ruan has been hesitant to give Huo Zhizhou a formal title.
She had only heard parts of what happened between them, but even that was enough to terrify her.
"And what about you?" Qin Mo held her hand. "If you marry me, will you regret it?"
Lin Tan: "No."
Qin Mo: "I will protect you."
No matter what schemes Huo Sinian might devise for the wedding a week from now, he will protect her, ensure the wedding proceeds smoothly, and keep her safe.
