Chapter 196 Jiang An made them divorce
"Since you're happy, shouldn't you give me a reward?" Huo Zhizhou pulled her hand, his gentle voice rising slightly.
Jiang Ruan glanced sideways.
She didn't believe Huo Zhizhou was unaware of her true thoughts.
To say that under these circumstances, are you deliberately trying to disgust her?
"As a reward, you'll go back to work and earn money," she tossed him a sentence. "Don't come looking for me until you've earned all that money."
Huo Zhizhou was not angry.
This made him feel that she was real.
The two didn't say anything more for the rest of the journey; one looked out the window the whole time, and the other looked at the person looking out the window.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Huo Zhizhou behaved impeccably, speaking politely and calmly with Jiang An, inquiring about her condition and showing concern for her health. Throughout the conversation, he acted as a humble and filial son-in-law.
But Jiang An isn't stupid.
As an elder who has experienced all sorts of ups and downs, she knows that someone like Huo Zhizhou is more difficult to deal with than Li Zhishen.
After he finished asking about the situation, I decided to speak up: "I heard you have close relationships with other women?"
Huo Zhizhou asked calmly, "You mean Su Anran?"
Jiang An replied directly, "Yes."
"She was kind to me; she saved my life when I was a child," Huo Zhizhou said calmly. "My concern and kindness towards her are solely based on repaying that debt of gratitude; I have no other intentions whatsoever."
“You made things difficult for Ruan Ruan because of her,” Jiang An said.
She heard everything Ruan Ruan said every day while she was in a coma.
He naturally knew what she had been through during this time.
"This was my fault, and I am willing to make amends and apologize." Huo Zhizhou said tactfully, "At the time, I was a little angry when she wanted to divorce me, and I did some irrational things in the heat of the moment."
"Then what about transferring marital property and denying her marital value?" Jiang An looked at him. "You can't do such things just because you're angry."
“I didn’t transfer any marital assets. That was just something I said to her on purpose to discourage her from divorcing me. You can check anytime if you don’t believe me.” Huo Zhizhou was telling the truth. “As for denying her worth, that was just something I said in anger.”
The value Jiang Ruan brought him went beyond just family.
She was the only light that was on in his world.
Jiang Ruan's mood did not improve at all because of what he said.
For her.
Whether what he said is true or false, the damage has already been done and cannot be healed by making amends or explanations afterward.
She was truly sad, heartbroken, and disappointed.
"You should divorce Ruan Ruan," Jiang An said, bringing it up herself. "She was spoiled by me and has never suffered this kind of grievance since she was a child. You two are not suitable for each other."
Jiang Ruan paused for a moment.
I didn't expect my mother to bring this up.
“I understand your feelings and considerations, but I cherish this marriage with her.” Huo Zhizhou was not surprised; he had guessed this conversation would take place on the way here. “I don’t want to give up when I encounter problems. I hope you will give me another chance.”
Jiang An looked at him.
Huo Zhizhou is far superior to Li Zhishen.
They know how to admit their mistakes and how to discuss things calmly.
But there's no need to compare scumbags to each other, and her daughter doesn't have to eat one piece of garbage just because it's better than another.
“Ruan Ruan isn’t happy with you,” Jiang An said. “It’s better to break up.”
"The two of us know best what's going on between us," Huo Zhizhou insisted. "I will make an effort to get your consent to continue our relationship."
Things have come to this.
Jiang An knew that saying more would be pointless.
Just then, Xu Jiu arrived.
Sensing the strange atmosphere in the room, she walked in while glancing back and forth between them: "What's wrong?"
"Is it done?" Jiang An asked.
"Would I dare come back if I didn't get it done?" Xu Jiu handed her the card.
Jiang An took the card and handed it to Jiang Ruan: "Keep this card. You can use it for all your future expenses. And by the way..."
When he said this...
She glanced at Huo Zhizhou.
Then he clearly finished the second half of his sentence: "Transfer the medical expenses that Xiao Huo has spent on me over the past few years to him. Our family is not short of money, and there is no need to be criticized behind our backs for such a small amount."
Huo Zhizhou: "..."
My mother-in-law's anger runs even deeper than Ruan Ruan's.
“Include the interest.” Jiang An was so serious that even Jiang Ruan had to admit defeat. “So that he won’t bring this up when we have conflicts in the future.”
"Okay," Jiang Ruan replied.
"You are my mother, and it is my duty to treat you." Huo Zhizhou knew that Jiang Ruan's personality was like Jiang An's. If he didn't win over the elders, it would be a pipe dream to reconcile with Ruan Ruan.
“Ruan Ruan is your wife, and you can make such a fuss about the division of marital property according to the law.” Jiang Ansheng got angry and became particularly argumentative. “What’s more, I’m an outsider, and I know my place.”
After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Ruan and asked, "Baby, are you done spinning around?"
Jiang Ruan looked at her phone screen: "It's finished."
When Xu Jiu went to help Jiang An get a replacement bank card, he submitted a request for a large transfer, which is why Jiang Ruan was able to transfer the money instantly.
Huo Zhizhou received a notification on his phone that the money had been deposited.
My brow twitched as I looked at that transfer.
“If there’s nothing else, I won’t stay any longer.” Jiang An’s tone was distant. “I have some things to discuss with Ruan Ruan and Xu Jiu.”
"Then you should get some rest." Huo Zhizhou didn't linger.
Jiang An: "Mm."
Huo Zhizhou stood up, his gaze falling on the person who hadn't spoken up for him but had instead helped with the transfer. He parted his thin lips slightly and called out to her, "Aren't you going to see me off?"
Jiang Ruan: "?"
Can't you go out by yourself?
Huo Zhizhou stood there without moving, making it clear that he wouldn't leave unless she saw him off.
"I'll see him off," Jiang Ruan said to Jiang An, knowing that Huo Zhizhou was doing it on purpose. "You and Aunt Xu chat for a while."
"Okay." Jiang An didn't stop him.
As they left, Xu Jiu looked at the closed door and sighed, "They dare to threaten Ruan Ruan like that to your face, who knows what they'll do behind your back."
Jiang An's eyes darkened.
She hadn't expected Huo Zhizhou to turn out this way. She had reservations when he first got together with Ruan Ruan, worried that his interest in Ruan Ruan was just temporary and a passing fancy.
But his subsequent actions made her realize that he truly loved Ruan Ruan.
She felt relieved, but then something happened.
When I woke up again, everything had changed.
"Where do you plan to take Ruan Ruan?" Xu Jiu asked her. "Haicheng, or somewhere else?"
The educational resources and employment environment in Haicheng are similar to those in Jingzhou; both are top-tier cities. However, Haicheng is Gouxi's eternal pain, and she most likely won't go back.
Jiang An was silent for a moment: "It's not decided yet, I'm still considering it."
...
Jiang Ruan dismissively escorted Huo Zhizhou to the hospital.
After he walked to the car, he turned and left without paying any more attention to him.
Huo Zhizhou grabbed her wrist, looking at her with unfathomable eyes: "Aren't you going to say anything?"
Jiang Ruan asked knowingly, "What did you say?"
“Mom doesn’t want you to be with me,” Huo Zhizhou said. “Why don’t you stand on my side and say a few words in my defense? As long as you say you want to, she won’t force you to divorce me.”
Jiang Ruan took a deep breath.
She knew that Huo Zhizhou understood better than anyone else that he was asking this because he was unhappy and wanted to make her uncomfortable as well.
“I’m a mama’s girl.” She casually made up a reason that he couldn’t refute. “She has spoiled and loved me since I was a child. I listen to everything she says, even if I don’t want to in my heart, I will not disobey her.”
