Chapter 244 I want you to give up your shares in the Qin Group

“I’ve never met them, but their story is quite well-known in the industry.” Knowing that she rarely gossiped, Su Zhu told her, “They tried to sow discord between the Chi siblings, but it backfired.”

Jiang Ruan nodded knowingly.

She had heard part of what her mother had said about the Chi family.

The younger generation of the Chi family has two children, an older brother and a younger sister. Everyone in the circle knows that Miss Chi and her brother don't get along.

Chi Baixuan and Chi Jing probably wanted to curry favor with the eldest son of the Chi family by suppressing Miss Chi.

After all, compared to Miss Chi, who rarely goes to the company, the eldest son of the Chi family, the president of the Chi Group, is more valuable.

But they didn't expect that the Chi siblings only seemed to be at odds on the surface, but in reality they were united against any external enemy.

"Be careful of them from now on," Su Zhu reminded her, since she wasn't always here. "Be more vigilant and minimize contact with them if possible."

Jiang Ruan nodded: "Okay."

"Let's find a quieter spot so we don't get disturbed," Su Zhu said, knowing that Jiang Ruan preferred peace and quiet.

Just as Jiang Ruan was about to agree, a sophisticated woman in a white suit, high heels, and with long, flowing hair walked up to them: "Jiang Ruan?"

Jiang Ruan nodded: "Mm."

She recognized the man.

According to the Qin family records, Wen Zhi, the personal secretary of Qin Mo, the president of the Qin Group, is extremely capable.

"President Qin requests your presence." Secretary Wen's expression was businesslike, and she seemed somewhat distant. "He has important matters to discuss."

Jiang Ruan said "okay".

After taking only two steps with Su Zhu, Secretary Wen spoke again: "President Qin wants you to go alone."

Su Zhu's brows furrowed with worry.

Jiang Ruan gave her a reassuring look: "It's okay."

She and Wen Zhi walked towards Qin Mo's side. Various fine wines and food were laid out in front of the three of them, which showed that the hotel had specially arranged it for them.

Secretary Wen led her to them: "President Qin, the person has arrived."

Qin Mo: "Go ahead and get busy."

Secretary Wen: "Okay."

After Secretary Wen left, Jiang Ruan was left standing there alone.

The three men's gazes fell on her, some probing, some scrutinizing, and some filled with curiosity.

Qin Mo stretched out his long arm, his slender, fair fingers gripping the back of the chair to pull it out, and said to Jiang Ruan in a low, somewhat indifferent voice, "Sit."

"Thank you," Jiang Ruan said politely.

"Let me introduce you. This is my aunt's daughter, Jiang Ruan, who is also my sister." Qin Mo's thin lips parted slightly, but the chilling aura emanating from him, like that of an ancient iceberg, did not diminish in the slightest.

The two people opposite greeted her one by one: "Hello, little sister."

Qin Mo, with his incomparably handsome face, introduced the two men: "Chi Yuan, Xie Yi."

Jiang Ruan followed the procedure: "Hello."

"Look how polite that girl is," Chi Yuan retorted, his tone completely at odds with his gentle and refined appearance. "And look at you, always looking like we owe eight hundred billion."

Xie Yi: "I second that."

Qin Mo completely ignored their complaints and maintained a distant attitude when speaking to Jiang Ruan: "What would you like to drink?"

Jiang Ruan glanced at the table.

It's all alcohol.

Just as she was hesitating about how to refuse, Qin Mo seemed to see her predicament and called over a waiter, instructing him, "Bring some juice and champagne."

Waiter: "Yes, sir."

Looking at Qin Mo, who had been carefully considering things since she sat down, and who was polite and well-mannered, Jiang Ruan felt a rare sense of doubt.

Did this person really participate in his mother's accident along with his father and brother?

"Little sister?" Chi Yuan called out smoothly, "Little sister?!"

Jiang Ruan looked away and said, "Mr. Chi."

"What Mr. Chi? If you don't mind, call me Brother Chi Yuan. If you do mind, just call me Chi Yuan." Chi Yuan's attitude was completely different from how he acted in front of his own sister. "Your brother and I are the best of brothers."

Xie Yi, dressed in a gray suit and wearing glasses, looked somewhat refined: "Ignore him, he's just a show-off."

Chi Yuan: "Who are you calling a peacock? You repressed pervert."

Xie Yi glanced at him but didn't say a word.

In Chi Yuan's eyes, this was nothing short of a provocation, and he couldn't wait to fight him.

"Are you getting used to life in Haicheng?" Qin Mo turned his gaze to her and took the initiative to chat with her.

"It's alright," Jiang Ruan replied, always responding politely when others were being polite.

"You can bring your aunt home to visit sometime," Qin Mo said. "No matter what happened in the past, the Qin family will always be your home."

Jiang Ruan didn't respond to that.

The Qin family could not be considered a family, but she could not retaliate against Qin Mo's kind attitude. She simply used silence and a faint smile to move on from the topic.

Not long after.

The waiter brought over the juice and champagne, placing them all in front of her for easy access.

As she casually picked up a glass to ease the tension, Chi Yuan suddenly spoke up: "Little sister."

Jiang Ruan corrected, "Just call me Jiang Ruan."

"I heard your fiancé is Huo Zhizhou?" Although Chi Yuan was based in Haicheng, he was still the president of the Chi Group and knew about the public affairs in the Jingzhou circle.

Jiang Ruan paused, her hand holding the cup still.

Qin Mo's narrow, dark eyes fell on Chi Yuan: "Can't all that drinking shut you up?"

"I was just curious." Chi Yuan coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment. "Everyone's been saying that she and Huo Zhizhou are getting a divorce, so I just wanted to verify if this rumor was true."

Qin Mo glanced at Jiang Ruan subconsciously.

divorce?

Chi Yuan picked up a glass of wine and clinked it against Jiang Ruan's juice: "It was my fault, brother. I'll punish myself with a glass."

"It's nothing." Jiang Ruan did not answer his question.

Even though things have come to this point between her and Huo Zhizhou, she still doesn't want their relationship to become gossip fodder for others.

As long as they know the truth about what happened between them, that's enough.

"You and Huo Zhizhou?" Qin Mo didn't want to ask, but after thinking it over, he finally spoke up.

Jiang Ruan changed the subject, not intending to chat with him about this: "Didn't Secretary Wen say you wanted to see me about something?"

With a simple sentence, she let Qin Mo know that she didn't want to talk about it: "Hmm."

Jiang Ruan: "What is it?"

Qin Mo glanced at Chi Yuan and Xie Yi: "We'll talk about it later."

Jiang Ruan said "okay" and didn't say anything more, but her phone rang several times, all of them message notifications from Su Zhu.

Su Zhu: [What did Qin Mo talk to you about?]

Su Zhu: [Was he threatening you?]

Su Zhu: [You seemed to be sitting there not moving much? Are they ignoring you?]

After reading the last message, she subconsciously looked up towards the hotel, but did not see Su Zhu among the crowd. Instead, she noticed Qin Mo's gaze fixed on her phone.

Jiang Ruan subconsciously turned off her phone screen.

Even she herself didn't know why she had a strange feeling of guilt.

"I have something to discuss with Jiang Ruan." Qin Mo's mind was filled with those few lines of messages on Jiang Ruan's phone. He glanced at the other two and said, "You two go and wander around to avoid them."

"Alright." Chi Yuan and Xie Yi stood up together.

The previously relaxed atmosphere instantly fell silent after they left, and the surrounding air seemed to cool down in that instant.

Jiang Ruan wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, so she asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Qin Mo's dark eyes fell on her, and after a long while, he spoke to her in a slightly authoritative voice, "I want you to give up your shares in the Qin Group."
