Chapter 246 Normal Procedures for Dividing Property
“I know what you’re wondering. I don’t have any scars on my legs because I had them removed at the hospital when I was in college.” Jiang Ruan’s tone was calm. “If you don’t believe me, you can check my medical records.”
Huo Zhizhou denied it without even thinking, his face visibly darkening: "This joke isn't funny at all."
Jiang Ruan continued, "Su Anran couldn't answer what clothes she was wearing that day, could she?"
"Because I didn't mention these unimportant details when I told Su Zhu that story, but I remember that I was wearing a pink princess dress and had my hair styled in a princess style that day."
"The scars on your legs were from when I dragged you ashore."
Jiang Ruan recounted the events of that day bit by bit.
She knew that Huo Zhizhou would definitely remember; he cared so much about the life-saving grace he received when they were children, and he must remember every detail from that time.
"Don't you value promises?" Jiang Ruan suppressed the heaviness in her chest and continued to calmly and bluntly, "I want you to divorce me. From today onwards, you should no longer interfere in my affairs, nor should you monitor me openly or secretly. Except for the divorce, you should not appear in my sight."
These words felt like a thousand arrows piercing Huo Zhizhou's heart.
He was crushed in an instant.
He wanted to deny it.
I think Jiang Ruan was lying to him in order to get a divorce.
But reason told him that Jiang Ruan wouldn't lie, and what she said made sense.
Can……
How could it be ginger?
How could it be her?
He tried to open his mouth, but his throat was blocked by the powerful message, and he could not speak.
After a while.
The pressure on his chest from the boulder eased slightly. He looked at Jiang Ruan, who was clearly familiar yet utterly distant and cold towards him, and asked, "If it's you, why..."
If he had known from the beginning that it was her...
“I didn’t know that the child back then was you,” Jiang Ruan said calmly, word by word. “If Su Anran hadn’t caused this mess, I would never have known that I had any connection with you when I was a child.”
From childhood to adulthood, she has done many acts of bravery and righteousness.
What impressed her most about Huo Zhizhou was the indifference of the adults. She couldn't understand why they didn't care about his drowning.
besides.
That's all.
Huo Zhizhou seemed to have all his strength drained away in an instant.
He knew very well that he couldn't keep this marriage.
...
When Gu Shixi and Jiang's assistant chased after them, they saw the two of them standing together in a very serious atmosphere.
Seeing Jiang Ruan calmly and emotionlessly finish speaking and head towards them, Gu Shixi's heart skipped a beat. He said to Assistant Jiang, "Jiang Ruan wouldn't have already told Huo Er, would she...?"
"Judging from the BOSS's appearance, it should be." Assistant Jiang noticed that Huo Zhizhou's unusual state.
From the boss's perspective, it's right to emphasize commitments.
From Ms. Jiang's perspective, it's not wrong for her to want a divorce because she cares about the harm her boss has caused her.
Not long after.
Jiang Ruan walked over to them.
Gu Shixi stopped her in time: "What did you say to Huo Er?"
"I've told him everything you couldn't bear to tell him," Jiang Ruan said calmly, handing Huo Zhizhou's coat to Assistant Jiang as she spoke.
Gu Shixi hesitated, a bad feeling creeping into his heart: "What else?"
“Make him keep his promise and divorce me,” Jiang Ruan said without hiding anything.
"You know perfectly well how much he cares about you, yet you use promises to force him to do things he doesn't want to do, just like Su Anran." Gu Shixi worried that Huo Zhizhou wouldn't be able to accept it, and subconsciously took his anger out on her, "Is this fair to his feelings for you?"
Assistant Jiang spoke up promptly: "President Gu, you have overstepped your bounds."
Gu Shixi was about to curse again, but when he thought about everything that had happened during this time, he swallowed the words that were about to come out.
"I'm sorry, I got a little emotional thinking about how the divorce might cause Huo Er to become despondent." He apologized promptly, his mind a jumble of complex emotions.
Huo Er finally managed to live a normal life for a few years.
A few years ago, Jiang Ruan helped him out of his predicament, but what about now?
He didn't even dare to think about the consequences if they got divorced.
Just as she was thinking this, Huo Zhizhou walked over. Although he was still wearing the same clothes as before, he looked much more dejected.
Gu Shixi was the first to notice, and he looked at him hesitantly, saying, "Huo Er."
Huo Zhizhou walked past him, his gaze landing on Jiang Ruan's distant face, his voice slightly hoarse as he spoke: "What you just said..."
"Seriously." Jiang Ruan didn't hesitate for a second.
Huo Zhizhou's grip tightened slightly: "No changes?"
Jiang Ruan: "No changes."
"Understood." Huo Zhizhou knew her well and naturally knew how firm her words were. "Let me know when you have time, and I'll go back to Jingzhou with you to handle it."
"Tomorrow then." Jiang Ruan decided to be ruthless and go all the way.
“Isn’t tomorrow a bit too rushed…” Gu Shixi spoke up, glancing at Huo Zhizhou’s chest. “Huo Er still has unhealed knife wounds on his chest. Sending him back to Jingzhou at this time would probably be very painful for him.”
Assistant Jiang sighed inwardly.
He could roughly guess why Miss Jiang was in such a hurry.
After what happened last time, she was worried that things might change if she delayed.
"I'll arrange the medical team and a special plane to Jingzhou tomorrow right away," he said immediately. "However, applying for the flight route takes time; the earliest we'll have a result is this afternoon."
Jiang Ruan replied, "Okay."
She dared to say tomorrow because she knew Huo Zhizhou had a medical team by his side to protect him at all times.
Although it was a bit of a hassle, she didn't want to wait any longer.
During this cooling-off period, she must prevent any further unforeseen events.
"Are you the boss or is Huo Er the boss?" Gu Shixi was only thinking about Huo Zhizhou. "What if all this trouble causes his wound to get infected and become a serious problem?"
Huo Zhizhou: "It's alright, I know what I'm doing."
Gu Shixi: "A person who stabs himself with a knife has no right to speak."
Huo Zhizhou looked at him.
Just one glance.
Gu Shixi understood his decision: "Yes, yes, I shouldn't interfere. Do whatever you want. If you die on the plane, don't expect me to burn paper money for you!"
He left after saying that.
He was full of energy.
“I will draft the divorce agreement as originally planned, so you don’t need to prepare anything.” As Jiang Ruan said this, she noticed Huo Zhizhou’s somewhat pale lips.
"I'll revise it." The pain in Huo Zhizhou's heart and the wound in his chest were pulling at his reason, but he endured it so as not to worry Jiang Ruan. "We will divide the property according to the normal divorce procedure."
He didn't give her a single penny at the time, telling her he had no assets under his name, but that was just a way of saying he didn't intend to divorce her.
Now that she wants to leave, she should follow the normal procedures.
Jiang Ruan didn't say much: "Okay."
Huo Zhizhou gave a faint "Mm".
Jiang Ruan didn't linger. She glanced at his chest and left without saying anything.
Only after she entered the hotel banquet hall did Assistant Jiang look at Huo Zhizhou with concern: "Boss, has your wound reopened?"
Huo Zhizhou didn't know whether it had collapsed or not.
All he knew was that the heart could experience physiological cramping.
"Call Lin Feng back." His voice was a little hoarse as he did as Jiang Ruan asked. "And also withdraw all the people that Ruan Ruan has been secretly and openly involved with."
"OK."
Assistant Jiang didn't know why there was such an order, but since the BOSS said so, there must be a reason.
