He is already a brigadier now, bound by his military rank and thus, naturally, can’t move into the political realm, despite his desires or abilities.
As for being recognised by the Jun family, he swears that the more he speaks up for her, the harder her life will get.
Regarding business matters, he is totally clueless.
Becoming accustomed to military life, he can no longer adapt to the deceit and trickery of the business and political world.
Therefore, he genuinely can’t be of any help to her.
"I ..." Huo Yi didn’t quite know how to respond at the moment.
"If you can’t help me, why would I tell you? To seek some comfort? Do you believe that if I just say the word, there are plenty of men willing to offer their shoulder for me to lean on? Then why would I ever need you?"
"Besides, I’m not the type to seek a man’s protection after being hurt. If you can’t even understand that, what would be the point of talking to you?"
Ye Ranran, as she is now, is so powerful that she doesn’t need to rely on anyone.
What Huo Yi is doing is precisely what she despises the most.
"I didn’t mean it that way, I just wanted you not to be too depressed, and don’t make life difficult for yourself, look at you..." she’s lifeless.
"Make life difficult for myself? Which of your eyes saw me make life difficult for myself? And as for being depressed, it seems to have nothing to do with you, right?"
"I just want you to be alright." Facing Ye Ranran, who was acting like a hedgehog, Huo Yi was somewhat frustrated.
Why can’t she speak nicely for once? Does she have to be prickly to be happy?
"I’m perfectly fine. If you could just leave and let me rest, I think I’d be even better."
Ye Ranran thought Huo Yi was crazy, he turned up by her bed out of nowhere and she had no clue what he wanted.
"Don’t blame me for not warning you, but I am now a married woman. Even if you don’t care about your reputation, I do. So it would be better for us not to be alone together."
"Even if you don’t care about others’ views, you should consider your wife’s feelings. She can’t stand shocks. If something were to happen again, and the blame fell on me, I could jump into the Yellow River and couldn’t clean myself."
"Let her think whatever she wants, it has nothing to do with me. Ranran, I want you to tell me the current situation, I will help you." Probably the only one who can help her now is him.
"The situation is that I want to take over the Jun family. Can you help me?" Ye Ranran stated her goal without hesitation to Huo Yi.
Huo Yi was slightly confused about Ye Ranran’s intention, inwardly praying that it wasn’t what he thought.
"Take over the Jun family? You mean..."
"Exactly what you’re thinking."
"You’re quite audacious. Do you realize...?" did she fully understand what this would entail? Did she know why the family didn’t object when Jun Mochan joined the army before?
Because he was destined to walk an extraordinary path filled with blood and violence. If that was the case why not let him experience the gunfire and battles early on?
But Ye Ranran was not the same as Jun Mochan. She was a typical woman, who had never handled a gun or experienced life and death situations. How could she endure such bloody and violent scenes?
"I know, but what about it?" She could watch the Jun family fall, and she could let go of everything in her hands.
But what about One and Zhou Xian?
When the Jun family falls, they lose their protection, becoming like fish on a chopping block, subject to anyone’s whim.
