Chapter 132 Threats from Mr. and Mrs. Huo

Chapter 132 Threats from Mr. and Mrs. Huo

After thinking it through, she stepped out of the elevator and went to the conference room with President Song.

Two untouched cups of fine tea sat before Mr. and Mrs. Huo, their faces solemn, exuding the aura of those in positions of authority.

"You two can chat at your leisure. If you need anything, just call me anytime. I'll be right outside the door." President Song was extremely polite to them. He knew very well that if someone of Yuan Yi's stature really offended the Huo family, the consequences would be dire.

Mr. Huo gave a faint "Hmm".

As the meeting room door closed, only Jiang Ruan and the two of them remained in the room.

She sat opposite them, having overcome her fear of them, and spoke to them naturally: "Mr. and Mrs. Huo, what brings you here?"

"They're not even divorced yet, and she's already changing her tune." Huo's mother's gaze fell on her, her dissatisfaction quite evident. "Your Jiang family really knows how to raise a daughter."

"Didn't you say they weren't my parents?" Jiang Ruan retorted.

She remembered the incident from last time very clearly.

He addressed them politely, but was met with a harsh remark from Huo's mother: "Who are your parents?"

She wasn't shameless; if she wasn't satisfied with the title, she'd change it.

"Do you really think that just because you've been supported by Zhizhou for a few years, you're qualified to challenge the Huo family?" Huo's mother looked at her with a hint of pressure. "Don't forget that you have nothing now. We can easily make it impossible for you to survive."

Jiang Ruan replied politely, "Yes, you're right."

Huo's mother's anger flared up immediately.

That ignorant and arrogant brat.

She really thought Zhizhou would always protect her!

"Let's get down to business first." Mr. Huo nudged Mrs. Huo's arm, then turned his gaze to Jiang Ruan and asked directly, "Your divorce cooling-off period has expired. When do you plan to get the divorce certificate?"

"Next Friday," Jiang Ruan replied naturally.

Mr. Huo frowned slightly: "Why next Friday?"

Jiang Ruan: "He only has time at that time."

Mr. and Mrs. Huo exchanged a glance, their first reaction being that Huo Zhizhou finally realized that serious matters were important.

but……

The two need to resolve their divorce as soon as possible.

This woman staying with her son is ultimately a ticking time bomb.

"Fine." Mr. Huo said in a condescending tone, "Since you've been so cooperative with the divorce and haven't been pestering us, we'll have a proper talk with you about the children."

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Jiang Ruan froze, "The child?"

“We’ve thought about it carefully during this time. Although Zhizhou’s argument is not wrong, it’s still better for the child to be raised by our side.” Mr. Huo’s tone was serious. “If the child stays with you, others will laugh at our Huo family for not being able to compete with you for a child.”

“Sui Sui is mine.” Jiang Ruan only said five words.

"He belongs to you, but also to the Huo family." Mr. Huo said sternly, "If you don't cooperate, we will have no choice but to take coercive measures."

Jiang Ruan stood up, not intending to continue the discussion: "Then you can proceed with the plan."

They are just the child's grandparents. As long as the child's parents are alive, they have no right to fight for custody. Even if they go to court, she will win, not them.

"You forced us to do this." Mr. Huo's eyes suddenly darkened.

Jiang Ruan ignored her and walked outside.

The door had just opened.

He was stopped by four burly bodyguards.

"Xiao Song, we need to talk to Jiang Ruan privately when we get back. She's not coming to work today." Mr. Huo followed them out, his words carrying an undeniable authority, though spoken in a consultative tone. "What do you think about this..."

Mr. Song smiled slightly: "Please go ahead."

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Jiang Ruan had a bad feeling: "President Song, I didn't say I wanted to ask for leave."

"I'll give you two days off. You can have a good talk with your parents during these two days." President Song saw the situation clearly. It wasn't worth dragging Yuan Yi into this for an outsider, not to mention that President Huo didn't seem to be objecting.

This moment.

Jiang Ruan suddenly understood the power of capital.

When it comes to profit, even an insignificant person like her can be sold at any time.

"What are you still standing there for?" Mr. Huo stared at her wary face. "Are you waiting for me to have the bodyguards escort you?"

"Isn't all you want custody of the child?" Jiang Ruan decided to get through this hurdle first; being taken away by them would definitely not be a good thing. "I can talk to you again."

Mr. Huo asked, "Should we renegotiate?"

Jiang Ruan: "Yes."

Mr. Huo handed her a divorce agreement. His expression was as serious as ever, and his sharp eyes seemed to see through her thoughts: "Sign this and I'll have a proper talk with you."

Jiang Ruan took it and looked at it.

She left with nothing, and custody of the children went to Huo Zhizhou.

For a moment, she considered signing it to fool people, since she had the previous divorce agreement in hand, but she didn't dare to take the risk.

With the Huo family's power, it would be easy for them to forge Huo Zhizhou's signature, and it wouldn't be difficult for them to secretly get the divorce certificate behind Huo Zhizhou's back.

By then...

It's really difficult to get custody of the child back.

"Refusing to sign?" Mr. Huo asked.

"Yes." Jiang Ruan decided to face the situation directly.

"Then don't blame me for being impolite." Mr. Huo handed the divorce agreement to the bodyguard to put away, and then gave the order, "Take Jiang Ruan back to me."

The bodyguards responded in unison, "Yes, sir!"

Jiang Ruan looked at President Song, who seemed to see through her thoughts and said with a somewhat distant and polite tone, "I'm sorry I can't help you. This is your family matter, and I, as an outsider, cannot interfere."

Jiang Ruan was taken away.

Four bodyguards escorted them, two in front and two behind.

She secretly sent messages to Su Zhu and Ye Yanzhi on her phone and also called the police.

Before the call even connected, Huo's father noticed her little action, reached out and hung up the phone, adding, "If you dare to call the police, I dare to make your mother in the hospital and your friends in Jingzhou pay the price."

Jiang Ruan gripped her phone tightly.

"And your friends, if they come, I'll give them a big gift." Mr. Huo was adept at threatening people.

A hint of mockery flashed across Jiang Ruan's eyes.

She wondered how the message could have been leaked so easily; it turned out the other party had deliberately let it slip. Composing herself, she picked up her phone again and deleted the message she had just sent, hoping they hadn't seen it yet.

Her actions were all observed by Mr. and Mrs. Huo.

Seeing that she had given up struggling, they said, "Why don't you go find Zhizhou?"

Jiang Ruan: "There's no need."

The fact that they came here to take her away means that Huo Zhizhou no longer intends to be involved in these matters and plans to completely give up all concern and control over her.

This is good, it's very free.

But for some reason, I still have a complicated feeling deep down.

"Good to know." Mr. Huo said directly, and as if satisfied with her actions, he added, "Now you need to sign this divorce agreement, so you'll suffer less later."

Jiang Ruan didn't speak; she couldn't possibly give up custody of the child.

As for suffering less.

Did Huo Zhizhou live under such threats and oppression when he was a child?
