Chapter 506 Having money brings peace of mind
Jiang Ruan smiled.
My wish has been fulfilled.
It's truly a delightful idiom.
"So, Miss receives dividends from the Qin Group every quarter?" Mo Mo's focus was always different. "Does that mean her savings are skyrocketing?"
Jiang Ruan: "No."
Mo Mo retorted, "It is clearly so."
"Have you forgotten that I bought these shares with my own money?" Jiang Ruan reminded her, "For hundreds of millions of yuan."
Mo Mo paused.
I remember now.
He said in a serious tone, "Why buy it? Can't we just give it to you directly? Those shares should have already made back their principal by now."
"There's no reason why." Jiang Ruan no longer cared about it.
All she knew was that she had taken the shares that originally belonged to her mother.
She has grown up.
She no longer needs to be threatened or made things difficult for others because of money.
"Why do you look unhappy?" Mo Mo turned around and noticed her change in mood.
Jiang Ruan spoke frankly to them all: "I was thinking about some things from the past."
Tang Bai instantly understood: "You and your ex-husband?"
Jiang Ruan hummed in agreement.
Mo Mo: "I have an idea."
Jiang Ruan: "What?"
“Call him over here, we’ll shower him with money,” Mo Mo said seriously. “You throw money at him, and I’ll pick it up.”
Jiang Ruan: "..."
Jiang Ruan saw right through his thoughts and exposed him without hesitation: "I think you're pretending to smash him, but you really want to take the opportunity to make money."
"Do you miss him?" Mo Mo asked again, but his tone was so emotionless, as if it were as simple as asking if he wanted to have dinner that night.
Do you want to?
Jiang Ruan went through it in her mind.
She didn't know either.
All she knew was that after completing the mission and receiving the shares, she felt more at ease than ever before.
If Huo Zhizhou were to ask that question again:
—We've been married for five years and you haven't earned a single penny. Why should I give you half of what I've earned?
She could throw the profits and investment gains from medical and health services in his face without hesitation, telling him firmly, "If I hadn't been a housewife at home, I would have earned no less than you!"
But.
Huo Zhizhou will not ask that question again.
Back then, he didn't love her; he treated her purely as a caged canary. Now he loves her, but she no longer wants to love him.
She'd rather focus on her career than on romantic relationships.
Having money brings a real sense of security.
It feels more reassuring than being with a man.
"No answer means you want to." After waiting for her silence for a while, Mo Mo took the initiative to speak for her, "But it's okay, my ex-husband is more shameless than before, he might come over any day."
Jiang Ruan: "..."
To be honest.
She didn't want to have too much involvement with Huo Zhizhou.
Even if he loses his memory, his mind is still sharp. If he pursues her too intensely, it might affect her.
"If they come, then stop them," she said.
Mo Mo: "A raise?"
Jiang Ruan retorted, "Isn't this something you should be doing?"
“I’m afraid my ex-husband will try to bribe me.” Mo Mo said seriously, without a hint of embarrassment on her face. “If he pulls out a black card and lets me swipe it however I want, should I stop him or not?”
Jiang Ruan: "..."
Tang Bai: "..."
When it comes to making up stories, Mo Mo is number one.
Tang Bai poured cold water on his enthusiasm: "With that little money, why doesn't he hire a few bodyguards who are better than you? Why does he have to give you money?"
“It’s the same thing. It’s my responsibility to let him in, but if he gets someone to beat me up, that’s his responsibility.” Mo Mo saw it very clearly. “His responsibility is irresponsible, even in front of the boss.”
Tang Bai and Jiang Ruan remained silent.
That makes a lot of sense.
There was no way to refute it.
Just as Mo Mo was about to say something, Tang Bai's phone rang.
It was his father, Tang Sheng, who called.
He pressed the answer button, and the call came through the car's Bluetooth speaker: "What is it?"
"I heard that Jiang Ruan has already acquired the shares." Tang Sheng's voice came through the phone, his seriousness and emotion palpable even through the device. "When are you coming back?"
"Before asking this question, shouldn't you answer the question you didn't answer last time?" Tang Bai replied calmly.
Tang Sheng remained silent.
Tang Bai didn't urge him.
Anyway, he's not the one who's in a hurry.
"I'll come to see you tomorrow; you can choose the place." Tang Sheng finally gave in.
He knew very well that if things dragged on any longer, the Tang family would fall into the hands of the Second Branch.
Once he falls into their hands, his fate will be dire.
Tang Bai glanced at the rearview mirror and asked, "Miss, is this alright?"
Jiang Ruan: "Okay."
Tang Bai replied, "Okay."
Tang Sheng: "???"
Tang Sheng immediately noticed, his expression turned sour, and his words were cold: "You actually let someone else hear our conversation!"
In response, Tang Bai hung up the phone.
Tang Sheng sent several messages, which Tang Bai only saw after he got home and parked his car.
Tang Sheng: [Are you crazy? Aren't you afraid that what I'm about to say won't be suitable for Jiang Ruan to hear?]
Tang Sheng: [What if it involves Tang family secrets?]
"You can choose not to call me." Tang Bai sent him a voice message, without saying a single kind word. "I'm the young lady's bodyguard now, and she has the right to know what I'm doing during work hours."
Upon hearing this, Tang Sheng was furious. He wanted to curse him, but considering that he might need Jiang Ruan's help later, he swallowed his anger and said nothing.
Tang Bai didn't care what he thought at all.
For him, there was only one goal: to get the shares he had and to take back his mother's shares as well.
As for the others.
He didn't care at all.
In a sense, he didn't have this father at all.
"Have you arranged a time to meet?" Jiang Ruan noticed his change in mood and asked as he entered the room.
Tang Bai hummed in agreement.
Jiang Ruan glanced at Mo Mo.
Before she could speak, Tang Bai said, "I can go by myself. Mo Mo will stay with you. I'm worried about leaving everyone alone."
“Okay.” Jiang Ruan did not refuse.
After a brief conversation, Jiang Ruan went into the house with the two of them. Once inside, she saw that Qin Muchuan and Qin Luofeng had also come, in addition to Qin Mo, and each of them had prepared some things.
Jiang Ruan understood immediately.
Celebrated.
"Jiang Ruan is back."
"Now that you've become the largest shareholder of our Qin Group, we'll need your help from now on."
How do you feel?
Everyone chimed in, giving Jiang Ruan no chance to speak.
"By the way, this is a gift from your uncle. Congratulations on getting what you wanted." Qin Muchuan stood up and handed a box to her, adding on behalf of Qin Muchi, "Your second uncle was supposed to come too, but he had some trouble and is still in the hospital, so he couldn't come."
"Congratulations, cousin," Qin Luofeng said, handing her the gift.
Jiang Ruan accepted them one by one.
Looking at their faces full of blessings and smiles, Jiang Ruan knew that they didn't really want to congratulate her, but they had to do so out of politeness, or perhaps because her grandfather hadn't yet given her a doctor's order.
