Chapter 36 The father who abandoned his wife and daughter comes knocking.

“If this is your so-called predicament, then you can come with me to the hospital now and kneel down to apologize to my mother.” Jiang Ruan’s words were straightforward and decisive.

Father Jiang put down his wine glass and slowly stood up.

Jiang Ruan thought he wanted to go with her.

Unexpectedly, the next second he changed from his previous heavy and dejected appearance to a fierce and gloomy one.

"Does she even deserve to kneel down and apologize to me?" Father Jiang approached her step by step, revealing his true colors. "Don't forget that if I hadn't left you and your daughter in Jingzhou, you would never have had any connection with someone like Huo Zhizhou in your lives."

Hearing this, Jiang Ruan knew that his purpose in seeking her out was not to apologize for what had happened in the past.

“You should thank me,” Mr. Jiang said, becoming more and more excited. “I’ve given you the life of a wealthy wife.”

"I really don't know what made Mom so blind to have chosen you." Jiang Ruan had exhausted her last bit of affection, and after saying this with a cold face, she turned and left.

"Say that again and see what happens!" Jiang's father was enraged by these words. He grabbed Jiang Ruan's arm and threw her onto the sofa. "Don't forget who raised you."

Jiang Ruan was about to retort.

Then, Jiang's father said, "I heard you divorced Huo Zhizhou."

Jiang Ruan frowned slightly.

Very few people know about this; how did he find out?

"I won't waste my time with you." Father Jiang revealed his true purpose, with no trace of the heavy sorrow from before. "I came to see you this time because of the divorce settlement you received. I don't want it all, just give me 70%."

"Then you'll be disappointed." Jiang Ruan stood up from the sofa, her words carrying a hint of sarcasm more than usual. "He didn't give me a single penny."

"I have limited patience and don't have time to waste with you." Father Jiang's face was very bad.

“Since you know I’m divorced from him, you should also know I’ve been selling rings lately.” Jiang Ruan suddenly felt that it was better not to get any property. “If I had gotten any property, would I need to sell rings to raise money for Mom’s surgery?”

Jiang's father tried to tell from Jiang Ruan's face that she was lying, but her expression couldn't be more genuine.

When he learned that she had sold a ring worth hundreds of millions for a few hundred thousand, he thought that Huo Zhizhou had given her too much money, so much that she didn't care how much the ring could sell for. But he never expected that the real reason was like this.

"He really didn't give you a single penny?" he asked one last time.

Jiang Ruan had no desire to continue the conversation with him: "If you don't believe me, go ask him."

He left after saying that.

At that moment, I completely erased this father from my heart.

Sometimes she really didn't understand why her father, who had always been good to her since childhood, would abandon them to protect himself after something happened at home. Was all that warm past just an act?

“Since he didn’t give you the money, you can go and earn it for me yourself.” Father Jiang grabbed her arm again, looking at her face, which had been exceptionally beautiful since childhood. “Your face is still worth some money.”

Jiang Ruan paused for a moment. Before she could figure out what he meant, he forcibly dragged her to the next private room, which was noisy and filled with the strong smell of smoke that made her feel nauseous.

at the same time.

Gu Shixi, who was inspecting the bar, saw this scene, took out his phone, took a picture, and sent it to Huo Zhizhou. He also made a phone call to Huo Zhizhou: "Look at the picture I sent you."

Huo Zhizhou clicked on it casually.

What came into view was the image of a man's rough, dark hand gripping Jiang Ruan's slender arm.

That hand is really an eyesore.

"Do you want me to go in and get her out for you?" Gu Shixi walked to the door of the private room and peeked through the crack in the door. "Those people inside are no good. If your little wife falls into their hands, it's hard to say what will happen."

Huo Zhizhou's eyes were deep, and he tapped his hand lightly on the table.

He didn't say anything, but Gu Shixi, watching through the screen, could clearly feel the chill emanating from him.

"Send me the list," Huo Zhizhou said.

Gu Shixi: "Okay."

Gu Shixi: "Where's your little wife?"

Before he could get an answer, he saw that his phone had been hacked. The phone's rear camera turned on automatically, followed by someone's emotionless voice: "Point your phone inside. I'll tell you to go in before you go in."

Gu Shixi: "..."

Just ask him to turn on the video, why hack his phone!

The private room was even noisier than before. As Jiang Ruan was dragged in by her father, most of the eyes inside were on her.

"Come here!" Father Jiang roughly pulled her aside. "Go and toast these uncles and elders."

"President Jiang, who is this?" The person who spoke looked Jiang Ruan up and down with a malicious gaze, his eyes as blatant as could be.

"My daughter is Ruan Ruan." Mr. Jiang said with a smile, completely different from before. "She'll be drinking with you all tonight. I hope you bosses will support our cooperation."

"No problem, no problem," everyone laughed.

Jiang Ruan struggled to break free from his grip, her eyes filled with an intense hatred for the first time: "Are you crazy?!"

She had considered everything, but she never imagined he would do this.

She's his daughter!

"Slap!" Father Jiang slapped her across the face, his eyes full of malice. "Letting you drink with these uncles and elders is doing you a favor. Do you really think you're still Mrs. Huo, whom Huo Zhizhou cherishes?"

They didn't get a single penny in the divorce, which suggests that Huo Zhizhou probably just got tired of them and threw them away.

If he cared even a little bit, he wouldn't have given her nothing.

"Huo Zhizhou?" Someone in the private room asked in confusion, a hint of worry creeping in. "She's the Mrs. Huo that Young Master Huo cherishes so much?"

These words were spoken.

The way everyone looked at Jiang Ruan changed.

Everyone in the industry knows how much Huo Zhizhou cares about his wife. Once, someone casually said something blatantly flirtatious to her, and the next day, that person's company's stock plummeted, and he had bad luck in everything he did afterward.

“They used to be, but they’re divorced now,” Mr. Jiang explained immediately. “You don’t need to worry about Huo Zhizhou’s retaliation.”

"Are you really divorced?"

"How can we not really get a divorce? Didn't photos of the second young master Huo spending the night with other women at the Water Pavilion Villa come out online before?"

"I thought it was just media speculation."

"Without Young Master Huo's permission, which media outlet would dare to publish such unfounded rumors online?"

With just a few words, everyone instantly understood and realized that Mrs. Huo had fallen out of favor and was no longer Huo Zhizhou's darling. Everyone looked at Jiang Ruan without any restraint.

Jiang Ruan was a little stunned by her father's slap. From childhood to adulthood, he had never hit her, let alone said a harsh word to her. Today, he not only hit her but also brought her to such a disgusting situation, making her feel that this man was even more unfamiliar than when he ran away with the money.

"What are you standing there for? Go over and toast them!" Father Jiang shoved her hard.

Jiang Ruan turned around and ran outside.

Before her hand could even touch the door, Jiang's father pulled her back.

He stared at her with a livid face, his words more ferocious than ever before: "Run one more time and I'll break your legs!"

"Crash!" Jiang Ruan grabbed a bottle of wine from the table and smashed it. Holding the broken bottle in her hand, she pointed it at him and said, "If you don't let me out, I'll make sure there's some blood here."
