Chapter 378 Lawyer's Letter
Jiang Ran looked down at his small movements and instantly understood that he was probably thinking about how to phrase things.
Just as he finished thinking, he heard Si Yanxiao suddenly speak in a low voice: "We..."
"I have something to do, I'll go take care of it first." Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Ran suddenly stood up, interrupting him as he spoke.
Si Yanxiao's words were on the tip of his tongue, but he could only stop abruptly.
Jiang Ran was in a hurry and didn't pay attention to his expression. She turned around and walked outside.
His hand landed on the doorknob, and just as he was about to open the door, he paused slightly and then said in a low voice, "You don't need to rush back. Get some rest before you leave."
Having said that, he opened the door and went out.
Si Yanxiao looked up at her departing figure, his thin lips slightly pursed, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
He had intended to take this opportunity to explain things clearly, but he didn't expect the topic to be changed so drastically.
But then he remembered the words she had said before she left, which revealed a hint of worry. A warm feeling rose in his heart, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
After Jiang Ran hurriedly walked out, she suddenly realized that she was practically running away in panic!
A sense of frustration flashed through his mind, and he cursed under his breath, "Useless!"
But let's be blunt: what's there to be afraid of!
Even on the way to the hospital, he was still berating himself for his own uselessness.
Having inquired about Jiang Yuechen's location beforehand, upon arriving at the ward door, Ji Xia appeared pale and stared blankly into a certain direction, while Jiang Yuechen, contrary to his usual indifferent demeanor, sat by the bed peeling fruit.
Seeing the scene before her, Jiang Ran instantly felt a strange sensation permeating the atmosphere.
Then, with a slight bend of his fingers, he knocked twice on the door. The two looked up, and when Ji Xia saw who it was, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes.
But it was only for a moment, and then it was gone in an instant.
Jiang Ran walked slowly to the bedside and immediately saw the palm print on Ji Xia's cheek. Her eyes darkened, and she asked in a cold voice, "What happened?"
Ji Xia pursed her lips slightly, as if unwilling to say more.
Jiang Yuechen's expression suddenly turned cold, and he shouted sharply, "What else could it be? Who else could it be but that bastard?"
His words were full of indignation.
Jiang Ran had heard Jiang Yuechen mention the seriousness of the matter before, but she was unaware of such hidden details.
His brow furrowed, his face showing displeasure, and he coldly rebuked, "He's courting death!"
With that, he took a step and walked away, clearly indicating that he was going to settle accounts with Cheng Shuyuan.
Just as Jiang Ran turned around, Ji Xia grabbed her arm. Jiang Ran paused, looking helpless, and then asked, "What? You're still protecting him even now?"
As she spoke, a hint of resentment crept into her tone. If she had been in that situation, she would never have regretted tolerating someone who indiscriminately protected her mother in front of her.
But since Ji Xia was mindful of past feelings, she, as an observer, didn't say much.
But things escalated unexpectedly and developed to this point.
Seeing Jiang Ran's anger, Ji Xia knew she was doing it for her own good. Her lips trembled, and she whispered, "I didn't..."
"I just feel there's no need for it anymore."
Jiang Ran sensed the disappointment and dejection in her tone, and felt a pang of heartache.
He then sighed softly and asked in a deep voice, "What exactly happened?"
Ji Xia lowered her eyes slightly and did not hide anything, directly recounting in detail what had happened before.
Finally, he let out a cold laugh, his face full of sarcasm: "I never expected... that he would actually hit me for another woman."
"Looking back now, all the concessions I made for him were truly ironic!"
Jiang Yuechen had just woken up shortly before Jiang Ran arrived, and seeing her pale face, he couldn't bear to ask her anything.
Only after she recounted what had happened did he learn the whole story.
His gaze suddenly darkened, and he coldly rebuked, "What is that?!"
"He's just a poor man from a poor background, yet he dares to be so arrogant when his mistress comes to his door?"
His tone was cold, and his face was chilling, completely different from his usual gentle demeanor. Jiang Ran glanced at him, her expression slightly composed, and she seemed to be deep in thought.
Then, echoing the accusation, she exclaimed, "Exactly! You're better off without a man like that!"
"It's good to see his true colors sooner rather than later."
He paused slightly as he spoke, his face darkening, before exclaiming in surprise, "But why is Song Yuqing everywhere? She's like a persistent ghost!"
They had initially thought Song Yuqing was still holding back, but now it seemed she had been accumulating power all along, waiting for this opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran's expression suddenly hardened, and then she said disdainfully, "Birds of a feather flock together!"
Ji Xia's face was pale, and she closed her eyes slightly, clearly unwilling to get involved in this matter any further.
She forced a stiff smile and slowly said, "I always thought that although he didn't have many redeeming qualities, he was good to me."
"Now it seems... ha..."
As she spoke, she suddenly let out a cold laugh. Jiang Ran reached out and gripped her hands tightly, trying to offer her some comfort.
He then pursed his lips slightly and asked softly, "So, what are you planning to do?"
Even an upright official finds it difficult to settle family disputes. Although she is now eager to avenge her against the scumbag, everything must be based on her own willingness.
Upon hearing this, Ji Xia's eyes darkened, her fists clenched involuntarily, her nails digging into her flesh without her realizing it. Her gaze turned cold, and she spoke with hatred: "I will ruin his reputation! I will take back everything that belongs to me!"
Her words were full of coldness. Jiang Ran saw that she had already made up her mind and was about to speak up to comfort her and agree, but Jiang Yuechen beat her to it.
"Okay, I'll take care of this."
Then she picked up her phone and called her assistant. Within twenty minutes, the assistant brought a paper copy of the divorce agreement to the hospital.
Jiang Ran was shocked by Jiang Yuechen's efficiency. Ji Xia didn't say much either. She reached out and took a glance at it, and saw that all the rules and regulations were aimed at Cheng Shuyuan.
By this calculation, he could say that apart from the empty shell of the Cheng Group, he has nothing to show for it.
Ji Xia hadn't expected the agreement to be so biased. Her lips pursed slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing across her face, and she asked in a low voice, "Is this... feasible?"
"After all, the Cheng Group is also a product of his hard work. If we submit it, will it even be accepted?"
"Yes!" Jiang Yuechen answered decisively.
Seeing Ji Xia turning the pages over and over with doubt, Jiang Yuechen stepped forward and explained, "The vast majority of the initial investment in Cheng's Group came from the Ji family."
"As long as the proof is submitted, the authorities will make a judgment accordingly."
"As for the property under Cheng Shuyuan's name, it will be divided in accordance with the principle of two copies as stipulated in the Marriage Law. Don't worry, I will hire the best lawyer to defend you in this case. We will only win and not lose!"
His tone was full of certainty, but Ji Xia had no doubt about the possibility of what he said.
After all, the Jiang Group is famous for its law firm and is unparalleled in litigation.
The reason why the Cheng Group was able to barely enter high society was more or less due to its existence, which was incomparable to that of a century-old family.
Seeing Jiang Yuechen's enthusiasm for this matter, Jiang Ran's eyes flickered slightly, and she understood. She then chimed in, "Yes, just let him handle this. He'll give you a satisfactory answer eventually."
She had originally planned to use the Si family's influence, but Jiang Yuechen was willing to help her, which saved her a lot of trouble.
But I'm afraid their real intentions aren't what they seem...
Jiang Yuechen noticed that Jiang Ran's gaze had been fixed on him. He looked up and saw a hint of scrutiny in her eyes. She raised her brows slightly and looked puzzled.
Jiang Ran then looked away again.
Once Ji Xia nodded in agreement, Jiang Yuechen handed the documents directly to his assistant and instructed in a deep voice, "Submit the divorce agreement directly to the president of Cheng's Group, and make it clear that if it is not accepted within 24 hours, send a lawyer's letter directly."
"Yes." The assistant nodded slightly, responded in a low voice, took two steps forward, reached out and took the item, then turned and left, closing the door behind him.
This matter is temporarily over. Ji Xia's eyes were slightly red as she thanked them.
Jiang Ran and Jiang Yuechen waved their hands repeatedly and offered a few words of comfort. Seeing her low spirits, Jiang Yuechen and Jiang Ran raised their eyes slightly, their eyes met, and they instantly understood each other.
Jiang Ran then made an excuse and left first.
Knowing that Si Zuochen's whereabouts were unknown, Ji Xia nodded repeatedly, and Jiang Yuechen took the opportunity to see her out.
