Chapter 92 All They Have Left is Money
"I already said so," Xu Jiu said calmly.
Jiang Ruan: "Then why did you ask me to go and get my mother's money?"
Xu Jiu ground his back teeth: "Say 'you' again, and I'll come over and beat you up."
Jiang Ruan: "..."
really.
It's still that Aunt Xu.
"Okay, okay, you, you, you."
"That's more like it." Xu Jiu finished talking about serious matters before continuing to chat with her about trivial matters. While carrying his suitcase out of the airport, he said unhurriedly, "Your mother doesn't care about the little money the Jiang Group has."
Jiang Ruan was completely bewildered, even thinking that she was delusional: "Is your head a little hot right now?"
"Get lost." Aunt Xu could be doting when she wanted to, but she was ruthless when it came to rebuking people. "Didn't Jiang An tell you that?"
Jiang Ruan was completely confused: "I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Awesome." Xu Jiu said directly, "I'll talk to you in detail in half an hour. Let me find a quiet place first."
Jiang Ruan: "..."
She was certain that Aunt Xu did it on purpose.
It's definitely revenge for the way she just called you.
Half an hour later.
Xu Jiu checked into a luxury hotel.
As she put her luggage away, she walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and made a video call. After the call connected, she skipped the small talk and went straight to the topic they hadn't finished talking about: "You mean, you didn't know Jiang An had savings?"
"I don't recall it," Jiang Ruan shook her head.
“She has it.” Xu Jiu said it with absolute certainty, and the last sentence was even more so with a hint of gritted teeth, “And now she’s so poor that all she has left is money.”
Jiang Ruan: "..."
Jiang Ruan felt that she was trying to make herself happy.
"What's with that expression?" Xu Jiu stared at her in the video, her charming face showing a raised eyebrow.
"I don't know how to say it." Jiang Ruan didn't believe this.
Xu Jiu opened his mouth, wanting to tell her something practical, but then he thought of how Jiang An had completely severed ties with the past, and in the end all his words turned into one sentence: "That money is her own personal property, at least a hundred billion or so, I don't know if it's more than that."
Jiang Ruan: "..."
Xu Jiu: "She signed a prenuptial agreement before marrying Jiang Chenren, stipulating that the two would not interfere with each other's finances."
Xu Jiu: "As for the money Jiang Chenren spent on you, it was the reward he owed for helping Jiang Chenren establish the Jiang Group."
Listening to the increasingly chaotic and unreal words, Jiang Ruan looked like a wilted eggplant: "I promise I will never use the formal 'you' in front of you again, so please stop teasing me."
My mother is very capable and strong.
But to say she's pregnant with billions...
She had never been so bold in her wildest dreams.
"You don't believe me?" Xu Jiu didn't expect that she still wouldn't believe him even after he had laid his cards on the table.
Jiang Ruan found a chair next to the garden and sat down: "This is even more fake than saying I'm not their biological child."
Xu Jiu: "..."
He is definitely not Jiang Chenren's biological son.
"Find her bank card when you have time." Xu Jiu could only tell her in another way, "The password is either your birthday or her birthday. You'll know if you check the balance."
Jiang Ruan saw that she wasn't joking: "Are you serious?"
Xu Jiu: "Nonsense!"
Jiang Ruan asked the crucial question: "Then where did she get all that money?"
Xu Jiu: "It's profitable."
Jiang Ruan: "How did you earn it?"
These words were spoken.
Xu Jiu paused.
This would definitely bring up the past, and Jiang An had instructed that the child not to know about the past and not to have any contact with those people...
But if she didn't say anything, Ruan Ruan's expression clearly showed that she didn't believe her.
"I don't know about that." Xu Jiu paused briefly before answering, "Back then I was flirting with handsome guys all over the world, I didn't have time to care about these little things."
After the phone call ended.
Jiang Ruan sat in the garden for a long time, her mind filled with Xu Jiu's words.
Although Aunt Xu is a lively and outgoing person who loves to joke, it's unlikely she would still joke like that with her after learning about her divorce and financial difficulties. In other words, what she said is very likely true.
But if what she said is true, then what about her identity as a mother?
A myriad of thoughts flooded her mind in an instant. Unable to figure it out, she decided to take a different approach and have Su Zhu or Ye Yanzhi accompany her to see Jiang Chenren on Wednesday.
He had lived with his mother for so many years, it was impossible for him not to know anything.
Time flew by and it was evening.
Jiang Ruan cooked a lot of delicious food with them.
A group of people were sitting together, about to eat and drink, when Huo Zhizhou arrived. He was wearing a black shirt that looked particularly ascetic, with the sleeves rolled up to reveal a small section of his strong arm.
Upon his arrival, everyone stood up in unison to greet him: "President Huo."
Huo Zhizhou's gaze swept over them, but lingered on Jiang Ruan for a few more seconds.
This scene was captured by several people.
"I just came to take a look." Huo Zhizhou's thin lips parted slightly, and his calm and indifferent voice spoke unhurriedly, "You guys do your thing."
"Since we're here, let's all raise a glass to President Huo." The project's main person in charge poured a glass of wine on the table and gave the others a wink. "It's our honor to be remembered by President Huo."
Everyone raised their glasses together.
Jiang Ruan was among them.
This time, however, she was carrying the juice that had been poured earlier.
Huo Zhizhou stared unabashedly at Jiang Ruan, his gaze shifting from her face to the cup. Such behavior was impossible to ignore.
"Jiang Ruan, you should switch the juice to alcohol."
"That's right, Mr. Huo is still keeping an eye on it."
"Let's change it."
The person next to her whispered a reminder to her.
Jiang Ruan looked around and saw that there were other people besides her carrying juice; she wasn't the only one.
"I have something to do later, so just one drink." Huo Zhizhou walked up to them, finally shifting his gaze away from Jiang Ruan.
"Okay." The project manager immediately took a new glass, poured him a drink, and handed it to him. He glanced at the others at the same time, "Since President Huo is drinking, shouldn't we show some sincerity too?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
"President Huo, please wait a moment while I get another drink."
Two people who were getting juice immediately spoke up.
Jiang Ruan tightened her grip on the glass. If she didn't switch to alcohol, she would definitely be criticized in the department, and it might even affect work coordination.
But if it were alcohol, while I wouldn't black out like last time, I'd definitely get drunk...
In a short time.
They were caught in a dilemma.
"No need to change." Huo Zhizhou held his wine glass with his long, slender, and fair hand, his handsome and refined face still showing indifference. "I'm just here to check on the safety of the team building activity, not to cause you any trouble."
After saying that, he drank the wine in his glass.
Everyone was stunned for 0.01 seconds.
Then quickly drink the wine or juice in your hand.
"I have to go now." Huo Zhizhou put the cup on the table, glanced at everyone's faces, and finally looked at Jiang Ruan. "You guys should get some rest after you're done playing."
Everyone agreed.
The project manager came out and saw him out, while the others turned their attention to Jiang Ruan, their eyes filled with undisguised gossip.
