Chapter 131 Let's see how ruthless she can be to herself.

"How about I find you the best lawyer?" The best solution Ye Yanzhi could think of was to file for divorce.

“It’s no use.” Su Zhu pulled up a lot of photos on her phone. “Ever since Huo Zhizhou and Ruan Ruan divorced, I’ve hired a private investigator to follow them, but in all this time, they’ve never been caught doing anything intimate with each other.”

“He is very cautious in his actions,” Jiang Ruan said.

Huo Zhizhou has always been accustomed to keeping things under his control.

Divorce is no exception.

It can only be done with his consent, not in any other way.

"There's a way that might work," Su Zhu said after much consideration. This was the only bad idea she could think of so far, "but it will cause you a lot of trouble."

"It's okay, as long as I can get a divorce, I'm not afraid of any trouble." Jiang Ruan only had one thought in mind.

She must get a divorce.

If Huo Zhizhou changes his mind later, she needs a backup plan. Otherwise, she'll have to live her whole life centered on him and Su Anran, and she can't bear that kind of disgust.

“Use Huo Zhizhou’s parents and the directors of the Huo Group to pressure him.” Su Zhu never uses good methods to deal with bad people. “Just say that he only thinks about love and romance all day long and has no interest in the company.”

Mr. and Mrs. Fok, as well as the directors of the Fok Group, are all driven by profit.

If Huo Zhizhou neglects his important business by focusing on Jiang Ruan, he will definitely face pressure from all sides.

"Since he took over the company, everything has been handled very well. It would be difficult to find any shortcomings in him." Although Jiang Ruan was not satisfied with Huo Zhizhou's approach, he had always managed to balance things very well in these aspects.

“There’s no need to really find fault with anything.” Su Zhu was quite familiar with some things in wealthy families. “Just stir up conflict between Mr. and Mrs. Huo and Huo Zhizhou.”

Jiang Ruan paused for a moment.

Huo Zhizhou dislikes his parents.

He's always been reluctant to have much contact with me. If this is really brought up, he'll most likely hate me and might even say: "If you want a divorce, I'll grant your wish. But if you can't stand it anymore, don't come begging me to take you in."

"Okay," Jiang Ruan agreed.

She knew this was inhumane, but if he really refused to divorce her, she had no other choice.

Huo Zhizhou, who was standing on the next balcony, heard everything clearly. The moment the word "good" came out, Huo Zhizhou tightened his grip on the cup, his dark eyes staring at the night outside the window.

Soft.

You must really want a divorce.

Only then would they agree to such a despicable trick that they would normally find utterly shameful.

He suppressed the turmoil in his heart, closed his eyes to relieve the unease and restlessness in his chest, and pushed away all the thoughts in his mind about wanting to be good to Jiang Ruan.

After a while, his emotions were completely calmed down. He took out his phone and called Assistant Jiang: "If anyone tries to stir up trouble between me and my parents and the company's board members during this period, don't stop them."

Assistant Jiang: "??"

Huo Zhizhou continued, "If necessary, lend them a hand."

For the first time, Assistant Jiang was a little confused about what his boss meant: "Help those who oppose you?"

Huo Zhizhou: "Yes."

He wanted to see just how far Jiang Ruan would go to get a divorce, and how ruthless she could be to herself.

“Okay.” Assistant Jiang agreed. Almost instantly he knew that this matter was most likely related to Miss Jiang. After all, if it were Young Master Huo’s doing, he would have added, “Let them think they’ve succeeded.”

That night.

Huo Zhizhou did not sleep well.

He had always thought that even if Jiang Ruan disliked him and had a lot of opinions about his relationship with Su Anran, she simply hated him.

Just like when Huo Sinian told her about his childhood, even if she didn't like him, she would still protect his tattered self-esteem.

But now.

Things seem to have changed.

These ginger plants were unaware of this.

She continued her ordinary yet busy life as usual, and in her spare time, she sent Xu Jiu the timeline for the divorce.

She felt a mix of anticipation and unease about the divorce, as if she were saying a final goodbye to a very beautiful memory, knowing she would never see it again.

Thursday arrived in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Ruan was working diligently at the company, staring at the computer screen, lost in thought.

"Jiang Ruan," Bai Jian called to her.

Jiang Ruan snapped out of her daze: "Hmm?"

Seeing that she seemed a bit out of sorts, Bai Jian asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, I'm thinking about how to do this part." Jiang Ruan gestured with her finger on the computer screen. "It feels more difficult than I imagined."

"Put this matter aside for now. Two people have arrived at the conference room on the twelfth floor. President Song wants you to meet them," Bai Jian said calmly.

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Jiang Ruan was a little confused: "President Song asked me to go see him?"

Bai Jian nodded: "Mm."

Although Jiang Ruan was puzzled, she still went.

Huo Zhizhou has been working at the Huo Group these past few days and hasn't come over, so it couldn't be him or Assistant Jiang looking for her. Could it be Su Zhu and Ye Yanzhi? But they usually let her know in advance if they're coming.

With mixed feelings about the future, she took the elevator to the twelfth floor and headed straight for the conference room.

"You're here." President Song stood at the elevator entrance and immediately led her inside upon seeing her. "Your parents have been waiting for you inside for a long time."

Jiang Ruan paused in her steps: "The two elders?"

Mr. Song replied, "Yes, Mr. Huo's parents."

Jiang Ruan turned around and pressed the elevator button, showing no intention of going to meet them.

She's not stupid.

These two have never liked her, and they've probably come to question her about why she hasn't divorced Huo Zhizhou yet. If she says she'll divorce him next Friday, they might think she's deliberately delaying the process because she doesn't want a divorce.

For the sake of her breast health and to ensure a pleasant afternoon, she decided not to put up with that upset.

"What are you doing..." President Song stood in the elevator doorway, his slightly puzzled gaze falling on her.

"My stomach's a little upset, I need to go to the restroom." Jiang Ruan clutched her stomach, her face already putting on an act. "Could I go first and then come back?"

"I'm afraid that won't work." After all, President Song is the boss of a listed company, so how could he not see the difference between her before and after? "The two elders came here specifically for you. If you don't see them, Yuan Yi might be in trouble."

"Isn't Yuan Yi under President Huo's management?" Jiang Ruan asked tentatively.

Logically speaking...

Huo Zhizhou probably wouldn't let his parents come here.

He has never liked them interfering in his life.

"It's Mr. Huo who's in charge, but he's also a member of the Huo family." Mr. Song didn't know the internal dynamics of the Huo family. "I called him twenty minutes ago, and he said there was no need to ask him about such trivial matters."

Jiang Ruan paused, realizing at that moment that he knew Huo's parents had come to find him.

His allowing them to come over most likely means he really wants a divorce, so he no longer interferes in anything.

That's fine too.

That way she won't always worry about not being able to leave.
