Chapter 134 He's really dead, I'll take the responsibility.
"We just..." Mrs. Huo said, glancing at Mr. Huo instinctively, hoping to get a more reasonable excuse from him.
"You just like to play with and control women and children who are weaker than you." Huo Zhizhou's words were devoid of warmth, just as he had no feelings for them. "You want to get your vulgar desire for control from them."
Mr. Huo's face suddenly darkened: "You scoundrel, how dare you speak like that?"
Huo Zhizhou didn't even glance at him, and instead lifted his foot towards Jiang Ruan.
Being ignored in front of outsiders, Mr. Huo's temper flared, and he blurted out, "You can protect her today, but you can't protect her forever."
“I will never let something like this happen again, not until the very end of my life.” Huo Zhizhou paused, then said, word by word, “If you can touch her again, I will give Huo Sinian control of the Huo Group.”
"You!" Father Huo clearly hadn't expected him to be so assertive.
She's just a woman.
Is it really necessary to use the Huo Group as a gamble?
“Jiang Yu.” Huo Zhizhou’s thin lips parted slightly, his eyes were very cold. “How Mr. Huo Cheng treated Jiang Ruan just now, now give it back to me. If she really dies, I will take responsibility.”
"Yes." Assistant Jiang was exceptionally obedient.
Mr. Huo panicked: "How dare you!"
Jiang Yu's actions proved to him whether he dared or not.
He pushed Huo's father into the water and then held him down so he couldn't move. Huo's father could only drink the water in the pool uncontrollably.
Seeing Huo Cheng thrashing about, Huo's mother was extremely anxious: "Zhizhou, he's still your father, how can you treat him like this for a woman!"
"You should be glad you didn't participate and were just an observer," Huo Zhizhou said coldly. "Otherwise, you would be one of the ones being held underwater right now."
Huo's mother's heart tightened.
I knew he was really angry.
"What are you all standing there for? Go down and rescue the master!" She had no choice but to turn her attention to the bodyguards, her whole body filled with anxiety. "If anything happens to him, you're all finished."
The bodyguards quickly went into the water.
Huo Zhizhou swept his cold gaze across the room: "If you don't want to be sued by me as an accomplice, then don't move."
Upon hearing this, all the bodyguards became obedient.
Although she helped the master with his work, she was also aware that the real power holders in the Huo family were the two young masters, with the second young master being the most powerful.
"How could you be so heartless!" Mrs. Huo cried out in desperation. "He's your father!"
"When you bullied Jiang Ruan, did you ever think about the fact that she was my wife?" Huo Zhizhou retorted, his deep black eyes as cold as the Arctic ice.
Huo's mother paused.
At this moment, she realized that Huo Zhizhou had never given up on Jiang Ruan. Even though they had a month-long divorce battle, his concern for her had never diminished.
"If you won't send someone to save me, I'll go myself!" Mother Huo was willing to gamble with her own life, "At worst, I'll just die in the water."
After saying that, she jumped down.
The bodyguards were all startled.
Si Ning glanced at Huo Zhizhou, whose face showed nothing but a cold indifference bordering on madness.
"Stop her," Huo Zhizhou said, his voice as cold as before. "Don't let him harm Jiang Yu."
Bodyguard: "Yes."
Mrs. Huo is really going crazy now.
She hadn't expected that even after threatening her life, Huo Zhizhou would remain unmoved.
He used to become incredibly obedient whenever she threatened him with her life or said those words.
How come now...
"Cough cough!" Mr. Huo choked on the water several times.
"For a woman, you actually..." Just as Huo's father was about to reprimand Huo Zhizhou, Jiang Yu pushed him back into the water, "Glug glug..."
Jiang Ruan saw all of this, and her heart was filled with more complex emotions than ever before.
She knew Huo Zhizhou didn't get along with his parents, but she never imagined he would go to such lengths for her.
Huo Sinian said he had a bad childhood, but what kind of childhood shaped his current personality? What roles did his parents play in his childhood? Did he think about his past for a moment at this moment?
For a fleeting moment, Jiang Ruan wanted to hug him.
But she knew that he didn't need anyone's pity or sympathy; all he needed was a firm choice.
But she couldn't firmly choose him, nor could she ignore everything between him and Su Anran.
but……
She walked over and took his hand, the first time she had taken the initiative to be intimate with him since the divorce: "You're still wet, let's go back and change your clothes."
Huo Zhizhou was taken aback.
His cold gaze warmed the moment he saw her.
Jiang Ruan didn't know what he was thinking, but she knew she had to leave this place as soon as possible. If Huo Zhizhou's childhood was really bad, then what happened today might just make him go back to the past.
"Let's go." Jiang Ruan squeezed his hand and said two more words.
Huo Zhizhou didn't say a word, letting her lead him away.
After they had walked away, Si Ning, following the look Huo Zhizhou had given her before leaving, said to Assistant Jiang, "Xiao Yu, we can call it a day."
"Okay." Assistant Jiang pulled the person to the shore and let go.
Unable to vent her anger, Huo's mother could only say to Jiang Yu, "I will definitely make you get out of the Huo Group!"
“Auntie, Assistant Jiang is the most capable right-hand man of the Huo Group president.” Si Ning pursed his light-colored lips, looking incredibly handsome. “Even the board of directors might not agree to let him go.”
Although Jiang Yu was only a special assistant, his status and ability in the Huo Group far surpassed those of the senior executives.
Not to mention that Huo Zhizhou was protecting them.
Si Ning and Jiang's assistant didn't hear what Huo's mother said behind them. Looking at Jiang Yu, who remained remarkably calm throughout, Si Ning asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid that if something really happens, Huo Zhizhou will make you take the blame?"
“He won’t,” Assistant Jiang replied confidently.
Si Ning: "?"
She grew up with Huo Zhizhou, so it's normal for her to know him well.
But Jiang's relationship with him is based on mutual benefit, so why does he trust him so much?
“Although the boss can be unpredictable at times, he is a very reliable person.” Assistant Jiang trusted Huo Zhizhou completely. “Even if I make a mess of things, he will help me clean up the mess.”
"He's a bit dim-witted," Si Ning said, but in her heart she was happy that Huo Zhizhou had such a special assistant.
As they were saying that...
Huo Zhizhou opened the car door and got out, handing a bag of clothes to his soaking wet assistant Jiang: "Go straight for fifty meters to the right, then turn left. There's a lounge there. Go inside and change your clothes."
"Thank you, Boss." Assistant Jiang took the clothes.
Huo Zhizhou glanced at Si Ning.
Si Ning immediately understood: "I'll wait for him here. Let me know when you're done talking."
After all that has happened, some people are definitely going to comfort their frightened wives.
When she heard Huo Cheng say he was going to throw Jiang Ruan into the pool in the car, he became very agitated. He even ran after getting out of the car. She hadn't seen him so out of control in many years.
