Chapter 4 cut off her escape route.
"Madam, you're back," the butler greeted her as always.
Huo Zhizhou and Su Anran looked over. After seeing Jiang Ruan, the latter hesitated for a moment before greeting her, "Ruan Ruan."
Jiang Ran didn't even glance at her, heading straight upstairs without looking to the side.
She was afraid that if she looked over there, she wouldn't be able to resist getting angry.
"Didn't you hear An Ran greet you?" Huo Zhizhou's detached and indifferent voice rang out. "Or is Ms. Jiang just such a rude person?"
Jiang Ruan paused in her steps.
Ms. Jiang?
She turned to look at them, and a sarcastic remark slipped out: "You're having an affair in your own home, and you expect me to be polite to you?"
"This is my home, I can do whatever I want with it," Huo Zhizhou said calmly. "If you don't like it, you can move out."
Jiang Ruan's hands, hanging limply at her sides, suddenly tightened.
Even though she knew his heart was no longer with her, hearing such cruel words still felt like a knife stabbing her heart.
He told her that this was her home, and what was his was hers.
"Zhizhou, Ruanruan is still your wife," Su Anran advised. "Isn't it a bit inappropriate to say this?"
"I gave her a chance, but she didn't want it." Huo Zhizhou said this while looking at Jiang Ruan.
Jiang Ruan was also looking at him.
One refused to give in, and the other refused to compromise.
"Ruanruan, why don't you apologize to Zhizhou? He cares about you so much, he definitely won't hold it against you." Su Anran added fuel to the fire without making a sound.
"I'll move out even if you don't tell me." Jiang Ruan was stubborn and ignored Su Anran's words. "I feel disgusted if I stay in this place that reeks of scumbags and mistresses for even a second longer."
After saying that, she turned and walked upstairs, as if afraid of being caught by something disgusting, and she walked faster and faster.
With a loud "bang!"
The door slammed shut with a deafening bang.
After Jiang Ruan went inside, she picked up her suitcase and started packing her things. She knew this was Huo Zhizhou's way of provoking her, but she couldn't resist.
After tidying up the important documents, she went to the dressing room.
She paused for a moment when she saw the countless clothes, bags, and jewelry.
Finally, we headed straight for the jewelry section.
She was short of money, and selling these things would be a good way to tide her over.
Before she could take her things out and put them away, Huo Zhizhou brought Su Anran in.
"Ruan Ruan, how can you treat these precious jewels so casually?" Su Anran looked at the countless limited and custom-made pieces, her eyes red with envy. "Are you planning to sell them?"
Jiang Ruan was not friendly to her: "It's none of your business."
Su Anran glanced at the person next to her and continued, "But these were all gifts from Zhizhou. How could you sell them?"
"None of your business." Jiang Ruan was anything but gentle when she got angry.
Hearing this, Huo Zhizhou, who had been silent until now, spoke up: "I didn't expect Ms. Jiang to have a habit of stealing other people's jewelry."
Jiang Ruan stopped what she was doing.
steal?
"If I call the police, how many years will you go to jail?" Huo Zhizhou asked, looking at her.
"Putting aside the fact that we haven't gotten our divorce certificate yet, these things were originally given to me by you, so how can it be considered stealing?" Jiang Ruan retorted.
Huo Zhizhou took a step towards her, his gentle voice speaking the words of the knife-wielding man: "How can you prove that these things were given to you, and not that I collected them?"
Jiang Ruan was taken aback.
At that moment, he realized that he wouldn't let her take anything from here.
He was determined to cut off her escape route.
“I won’t stop you from taking it, but on the day the divorce certificate is issued, I will call the police on the grounds of a burglary.” Huo Zhizhou leaves no room for compromise.
