Chapter 252 I thought he was definitely going to slap me in the face.
The more Qin Muchuan thought about it, the angrier he became.
Qin An was like a needle stuck in his heart for decades, tormenting him every moment, making him hate him but unable to remove it.
“Although Grandpa has never mentioned her or investigated her over the years, the housekeeper would chat with him from time to time about Aunt’s recent situation.” Qin Mo saw through everything. “If you harm Aunt’s child, he will not tolerate you.”
The clause in the agreement that allowed the aunt's child to buy back the shares at the original price was a debt that the grandfather owed to his aunt.
The old man didn't say anything because he wanted to save face.
But it seems rather abnormal that the father, as the old man's son, couldn't see through this.
"Qin Mo." Qin Muchuan stared at him with eyes as sharp as a hawk's.
Qin Mo and he locked eyes.
He maintained a steady demeanor, with no trace of fear in his eyes.
"Tell me honestly, do you want to help Qin An and her daughter?" Qin Muchuan's eyes were like knives as he spoke, as if he would stab him if he dared to say yes.
Instead of answering, Qin Mo asked, "What do you think?"
Qin Muchuan's expression was not good: "It'd better not be!"
Qin Mo didn't reply.
No one could tell what he was thinking.
"If I find out that you have even the slightest bit of mercy towards Qin An and her daughter, you can forget about ever marrying the person you like," Qin Muchuan warned.
Qin Mo's unfathomable eyes showed no emotion whatsoever: "Who?"
Qin Muchuan: "You know it yourself."
A hint of confusion flashed across Qin Mo's eyes.
This reaction aroused Qin Muchuan's doubts. Had he guessed wrong? Did Qin Mo dislike that person? But if he didn't like him, why would he keep a student photo in his wallet for over ten years?
"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now." Qin Mo stood up, straightened his suit, and exuded an aura of unyielding coldness. "I have an early meeting tomorrow."
"Go ahead," Qin Muchuan said.
Qin Mo hummed in agreement and left the study.
Just as he reached the door, Qin Muchuan suddenly called out to him: "Qin Mo."
Qin Mo turned around: "Is there anything else, Father?"
"As long as you run the company well and don't let Jiang Ruan and the others get shares, I can leave your marriage alone." Qin Muchuan's words were a test. "Even if you want to marry someone with no family background, that's fine too."
Qin Mo glanced at him, said nothing, and walked away with a calm expression.
One minute later.
He got into the car.
As the car door closed, the expression on his face instantly turned icy, his dark eyes unfathomable. After a long while, he took out his phone and sent a message to Secretary Wen: 【Investigate someone.】
After sending the message, he pulled up a photo of himself in a school uniform, which looked a bit dated, and sent it over.
Qin Mo: [I need to know where she is within a week at most.]
Secretary Wen: [Okay.]
Half an hour later.
Qin Mo arrived at his home.
After much consideration, he sent a message to Jiang An.
Jiang An saw it the next morning.
"Aunt, if Jiang Ruan wants to buy back your original shares at the original price, according to the Qin family's rules, the inheritor of the shares must first pass a test of ability. You should be aware of this."
"Mom." Jiang Ruan came downstairs for breakfast and saw her looking intently at her phone. "What are you looking at?"
Jiang An handed her the phone.
Jiang Ruan began to read it word by word.
After reading it, his expression didn't change much; he simply asked, "What is the ability test?"
"Most of the time, they would give you a company that was about to go bankrupt and ask you to run it." Jiang An remembered this and knew that it wasn't intentional to make things difficult for you.
"Is there a time limit?" Jiang Ruan asked.
Jiang An was very open and honest with her: "It's available to others, but not to you. You're buying back the original shares, and you'll receive them when the business is up and running."
However, if it is someone else from the Qin family, then yes.
The shorter the time frame, the more shares you get.
Conversely, if it's too long, it's not.
"Okay." Jiang Ruan made a note of it and then started eating.
Seeing that she wasn't affected by this incident at all, Jiang An felt even more strongly that her daughter was destined for great things.
Maintaining composure in the face of major events is a mindset that not everyone is born with.
“Once I transfer that money to your name, they will officially talk to you about this,” Jiang An told her. “They will also hand over a company that is on the verge of bankruptcy to you.”
I didn't mention this before because I thought that after so many years, this rule should have been abandoned.
I didn't expect it to still be there.
Jiang Ruan nodded: "Mm."
Jiang An: "Let me know when you're ready."
Jiang Ruan gave a straightforward answer: "I can get the divorce certificate next week."
"So fast?" Jiang An asked with some concern.
She has only been formally involved with these things for a little over a month, and even though she spends a lot of time on them every day, there is still a lot she hasn't learned.
“The longer you drag it out, the more likely you are to hesitate and overthink things. It’s better to start once the problem is solved.” Jiang Ruan knows her own personality well. “There’s nothing in this world that you can start with complete preparation.”
Part of it is due to impulse.
Part of it is a time limit.
There are very few things that you're truly 100% prepared for before you proceed.
“Okay.” Jiang An respected all her decisions.
In the following days, Jiang Ruan studied even more diligently.
Qin Jiangye contacted her during this period.
At first, she didn't intend to pay any attention to it.
Unexpectedly, he sent her several emails, saying, "Little cousin, this is the company where my older brother tested my abilities. Take a look."
Jiang Ruan glanced at it and saw that the company's overall structure was very complete, but it lacked resources.
This can be resolved by securing cooperation, so it's not too difficult.
“I failed back then, and they sabotaged my cooperation.” Qin Jiangye continued to send her a voice message, “Remember to be careful, they won’t let you get the shares so easily.”
Jiang Ruan replied with two words: 【I know.】
Qin Jiangye replied immediately upon seeing her message: "Why are you so cold? I'm still your dear little cousin."
Jiang Ruan glanced at it but didn't reply.
Continue with what you're doing.
She knew that Qin Muchuan and the others wouldn't let her get the shares so easily, but no matter what she faced ahead, she would do her best to achieve it.
She had to let Qin Muchuan know that things that didn't belong to him, no matter how much he used tricks to seize them for years, would eventually return to their rightful owner.
...
Time flies.
The cooling-off period was coming to an end soon.
Looking at September 29th on her schedule, Jiang Ruan crossed it out with a pen.
Once today is over, I can go back to Jingzhou tomorrow and get the divorce certificate that I should have received two months ago.
Just as she was thinking this, Su Zhu called. Knowing that Su Zhu was absorbing knowledge like a hungry wolf, Su Zhu hadn't dared to disturb her too much during this time, and only dared to call her at this time.
"How was your month?"
Jiang Ruan replied honestly, "It's alright."
"Did Huo Zhizhou cause any trouble?" Su Zhu asked curiously.
Jiang Ruan's expression remained unchanged: "No."
Su Zhu: "Not even a little bit?"
Jiang Ruan: "Mm."
Su Zhu was quite surprised: "I didn't realize he was such a man of his word. I thought he would definitely contradict himself this month."
