She was just a hair's breadth away from being able to sort out the cause and effect and get to the bottom of things.
Driven by a combination of curiosity and resentment, the original owner of this body vowed to uncover the truth, take care of her son, and send those bloodsucking parasites from the Wu family back to the mud.
After absorbing the memories, Ji Xiaoxiao's consciousness sank into darkness, and she went to sleep soundly.
Ji Xiaoxiao slept soundly until dawn, feeling refreshed and energized.
After checking out of the hotel, Ji Xiaoxiao went straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the Civil Affairs Bureau had just opened. Ji Xiaoxiao wasn't in a hurry to wait for Wu Ruo's arrival, so she casually found a stall and had a delicious breakfast.
Screech! The car braked suddenly.
Ji Xiaoxiao looked in the direction of the sound and saw a broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted man getting out of the car. It was none other than Wu Ruo, whom the original owner both loved and hated. Ji Xiaoxiao checked her watch; it was 10:15. Wu Ruo had arrived quite early; it seemed he couldn't wait to get rid of her.
Ji Xiaoxiao paid the bill and gave the owner a little extra money. She had taken up the owner's seat for more than an hour, so this compensation was reasonable.
"Wu Ruo," Ji Xiaoxiao called out.
"So slow?" Wu Ruo said in an unfriendly tone.
Ji Xiaoxiao shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I just arrived early."
Wu Ruo turned around and said as she walked away, "Come on, let's get the divorce papers done as soon as possible."
"etc."
"Hmm?" Wu Ruo turned her head and glared at Ji Xiaoxiao. "You cheated on me, and I will never forgive you. Keep your little schemes to yourself."
Ji Xiaoxiao waved her hand dismissively, "Are you misunderstanding something? Ever since you got together with your sister-in-law, you've been constantly beating and scolding me, and even plotting against me. I have no feelings for you anymore."
Ji Xiaoxiao deliberately spoke loudly, and some passersby happened to hear her.
Did he get together with his sister-in-law?
Big news, big gossip.
It's true what they say, there's always trouble in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau!
The passersby stood still, their eyes fixed intently on Ji Xiaoxiao and Wu Ruo.
Wu Ruo knew something was wrong and said coldly, "Su Tang, you wronged me first. I work hard to earn money to support the family, and you, on the other hand, use my money to support a gigolo. Su Tang, tell me, how did I, Wu Ruo, wrong you?"
Wu Ruo bent over slightly, and the handsome young man looked dejected and pitiful. Many naive girls felt sorry for Wu Ruo.
"Your money? Do you even have any money?" Ji Xiaoxiao slapped him back lightly. "Wu Ruo, you quit your job a year ago and went home to be all lovey-dovey with your sister-in-law, ignoring all worldly affairs. You have money? That's laughable. Everything you wear, eat, and drive this sports car is paid for with my money. Now that you've grown up, you've taken a lot of benefits from me, and you're turning your back on me after you've served your purpose?"
Outsiders don't understand the reasons behind it; they just think that each side has its own version of the truth.
Ji Xiaoxiao spoke the truth. Ever since Wu Ru died, Wu Ru had lost interest in work and quit his job to become a freeloader, spending entire nights at Zhou Ning's house whenever he had free time. Money doesn't come from nowhere; without hard work and sweat, there's no sweet harvest.
Enraged, Wu Ruo angrily raised her hand.
Instead of backing down, Ji Xiaoxiao stepped forward, sticking out her face, "Hit me, hit me all you want, kill me and all the inheritance my parents left me will be yours."
A short sentence reveals a lot of information.
Ji Xiaoxiao stubbornly bit her lip, refusing to show even a trace of grievance or sadness, which only made her look more endearing.
"Wu Ruo, you were so good to me before we got married. You'd do anything to make me smile. Now, my parents are dead, and the new person has taken over. I deserve to be rejected by you." Ji Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with tears. "But how could you, how could you frame me and falsely accuse me of cheating? We were husband and wife after all!"
Wu Ruo scoffed, "Slandering you? I have witnesses."
"Witnesses? The witnesses you're talking about are your extended family?" Ji Xiaoxiao shook her head helplessly. "Your relatives don't live in the city, so why did they all happen to come to your house that day? And why did you happen to hear from others that I was having a rendezvous with my lover at the XX Hotel? It's too much of a coincidence. These coincidences seem like someone did it on purpose."
Wu Ruo suddenly realized that there was a loophole in her seemingly flawless plan and hurriedly patched it up.
Ji Xiaoxiao frowned. Wu Ruo's reaction was unlike the Wu Ruo the original owner knew. The Wu Ruo the original owner knew was a clever, capable, and meticulous man. His tongue was eloquent; he could talk the living into the dead. Otherwise, the original owner's parents wouldn't have been persuaded to marry her to him. But look at the Wu Ruo now—panicked and helpless at the slightest thing, robbing Peter to pay Paul, a useless, incompetent fool.

The extended family members formed a circle and bombarded the clueless Ji Xiaoxiao with a barrage of criticism.
“Our Wu family must have been cursed for eight lifetimes to have married such a scourge as you, who has ruined our family’s reputation of decades.”
"Divorce, divorce, get the bitch out."
"Yes, divorce, divorce."
Ji Xiaozhen sat calmly on the bed, her hands tightly clutching the silky quilt. This group of people were extremely noisy, their mouths moving and spitting, their malice undisguised, showing no trace of the kindness and gentleness of an elder.
"Xiao Ruo, what are you thinking?" An older woman with wavy hair and a pink skirt tried to dress herself up as a vibrant high school girl. Her attempt backfired spectacularly; the older woman's outfit attracted an overwhelming number of stares.
Ji Xiaoxiao turned her head and saw a tall man standing at the door. He looked indifferent and ignored what was happening in the room, as if he were a bystander watching a show.
"Divorce," Wu Ruo said firmly.
