Chapter 189 The application will be automatically withdrawn.
Dr. Zhou: "?"
Just one sentence: "Got it?"
Huo Zhizhou didn't say much, and left the ward to go to his office on the top floor. Sitting in his chair, he looked out the floor-to-ceiling window at the cars coming and going, and the atmosphere around him felt more oppressive than ever before.
He called Assistant Jiang to explain the situation and then reminded Gu Shixi of some important points.
Finally, he called Si Ning.
"What's up?" Si Ning asked in a light and natural voice.
Huo Zhizhou: "Your master has woken up."
Si Ning paused.
Huo Zhizhou: "Aren't you going to come and take a look?"
“In a sense, we’re just online friends.” Si Ning leaned back, sitting leisurely in her chair. “After all these years, it’s questionable whether she even remembers having a disciple like me.”
"What does it matter if I remember or not?" Huo Zhizhou said.
"You didn't call me to talk about these trivial matters," Si Ning said casually, without answering his question.
Huo Zhizhou didn't beat around the bush with her: "If Jiang An wants to take Jiang Ruan away, whose side are you on?"
Si Ning drawled, "Well..."
Huo Zhizhou didn't urge him, but waited patiently.
"It depends on my mood." Si Ning's words were as casual as ever. "If I like you, I won't take sides and will remain neutral. If I don't like you, I'll have to stand on my master's side to repay her for teaching me."
Huo Zhizhou said "I understand" and then hung up the phone.
He understood what she meant: he wouldn't help anyone, but he might reveal some of his plans to Jiang An if necessary.
The call had just ended when Su Anran's number rang.
This is already the umpteenth time she's done this night.
Looking at the contact list popping up on the screen, Huo Zhizhou hesitated for a moment before answering: "What is it?"
...
Huo Zhizhou didn't appear at the hospital for several days afterward. Jiang Ruan didn't pay much attention to this. She was busy accompanying Jiang An to do rehabilitation exercises every day and didn't have time to think about anything else.
She took a week off from work.
All she wanted was to be able to stay with Jiang An.
Even though Jiang An told her that she could manage in the hospital, Jiang Ruan still insisted.
Her mother had finally woken up, and she didn't want to leave her alone in the hospital doing those repetitive, mechanical tasks; she wanted to stay with her.
After several days, Jiang An's condition improved significantly. She could communicate normally like them, and speaking was no longer difficult or strenuous. She could also perform many actions, although some physically demanding movements were still difficult for her.
This day is Friday.
After Jiang An finished her rehabilitation exercises, Dr. Zhou came to the ward and told Jiang Ruan about the situation: "Your mother is recovering very well. Most people don't achieve this effect in a few days. This is thanks to her excellent physical condition."
Jiang Ruan was happy to hear the good news.
"It was originally expected to take a month for him to walk like a normal person," Dr. Zhou said. "But now it seems that it will only take about half a month."
Jiang Ruan paused for a moment.
More than half a month...
Today is July 5th. If you haven't picked up your divorce certificate by the 12th, your divorce application will be automatically withdrawn.
Huo Zhizhou definitely wouldn't let her leave within seven days. If she brought up this matter, there was no guarantee he wouldn't have someone tamper with things related to her mother.
"Miss Jiang?" Dr. Zhou called out to her in a louder voice.
"Hmm?" Jiang Ruan came back to her senses.
"After your daily rehabilitation exercises, you can talk to your mother more," Dr. Zhou instructed. "This will stimulate her brain more, help her recover her language function better, and also benefit her rehabilitation."
Jiang Ruan nodded: "Okay."
Dr. Zhou gave a few more instructions before leaving.
Following Dr. Zhou's instructions, Jiang Ruan chatted with Jiang An. As they talked, Jiang An suddenly asked her, "Is something on your mind?"
"I'm thinking about what to do about the divorce." Jiang Ruan didn't hide anything; at this moment, she was just a child with someone to rely on. "The divorce application will be automatically withdrawn soon. If I can't get the documents during this period, I'll have to resubmit the application."
Given Huo Zhizhou's current state, he definitely wouldn't go with her to submit the application.
Even if I go, what other changes might occur in another month?
Jiang An: "?"
For the first time, these words seemed unfamiliar to Jiang An: "Divorce application, automatically withdrawn?"
Why can't you just take the relevant certificates and documents to apply?
Just as Jiang Ruan was about to speak, she suddenly remembered that the divorce cooling-off period hadn't been officially implemented when her mother was in a coma. She briefly explained the current marriage law to her and then went into detail about the cooling-off period.
After saying that, Jiang An's usually calm face was filled with question marks: "?"
Obviously.
She couldn't understand the system at all.
"My application with him will be automatically withdrawn in seven days." Jiang Ruan was very worried. "I'm afraid..."
"It's alright." Even though Jiang An was nearly fifty years old, her face was remarkably well-maintained. "After the automatic withdrawal, I'll find someone to help you with the lawsuit and guarantee that you'll be free from this marriage."
Jiang Ruan tentatively said, "Huo Zhizhou has a top-notch legal team."
Jiang An: "It's okay, I have one too."
Jiang Ruan: "?"
Jiang Ruan was a little unexpected.
"I'll take care of this for you once I'm fully recovered," Jiang An said, holding her hand to reassure her. "You just need to live the good life you want."
"Okay." Jiang Ruan was relieved.
A little while later.
Seeing that her mother was lost in thought, Jiang Ruan tentatively called out, "Mom."
Jiang An: "Hmm?"
Jiang Ruan asked, "You and Aunt Xu aren't orphans, are you?"
"Okay." Jiang An no longer hid it from her. "I'll tell you the details later. You just need to know that no matter what your mother's identity is, she's the one who loves you the most."
I didn't tell her those things before because I wanted her to always be carefree.
But during the time she was divorced from Huo Zhizhou, she went through too much suffering and hardship.
"Then what about you and Jiang Chenren?" Jiang Ruan asked.
“It was a mutually beneficial arrangement. He needed to establish his career, and I needed marriage to dispel Li Zhishen and those other people’s ideas.” Jiang An briefly mentioned the difficult days they had endured. “After we were completely honest with each other, we made an agreement together and then got our marriage certificate.”
Jiang Ruan nodded knowingly.
No wonder Jiang Chenren spends so little time with them.
I remember him being very loving towards my mother and treating her and my mother very well, but he was rarely home because of work.
Now it all makes sense.
"Then the Jiang Group went bankrupt..." Since it's an agreement, does the company's bankruptcy fall under that clause?
“I explained the risks to him and gave him advice. But he insisted on doing things his own way.” Jiang An remained calm in the face of everything around him. “Naturally, the business went bankrupt.”
Jiang Ruan asked curiously, "Then why don't you start your own company?"
And who are the people Mom mentioned?
Is it from the Jiang family?
Jiang An paused for a moment before casually giving an answer: "I can't be bothered with it."
Seeing that she didn't really want to talk about it, Jiang Ruan didn't ask any more questions. After chatting for a while, she told her that she needed to go back to Ruanyuan to change her clothes. Jiang An had no objection to this, but just told her to be careful.
On the way back.
Jiang Ruan unconsciously tightened her grip on her phone.
Besides changing her clothes, she also had something to discuss with Huo Zhizhou when she went back this time.
Resignation.
