Chapter 245 Jiang Ruan Tells You Everything

Chapter 245 Jiang Ruan Tells You Everything

"Impossible." Jiang Ruan refused without even thinking.

She said that this person was polite and courteous at first, but it turned out that he was using politeness first and then force.

Qin Mo's gaze remained unchanged, but the chill in his words was comparable to that of winter: "I'm not joking with you. With your abilities, you are not capable of inheriting these shares. It's better for everyone to give up as soon as possible."

"Whether I have the ability or not is up to me, it has nothing to do with you." Jiang Ruan's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.

"As compensation, I can transfer 100 million yuan to your account every year if you give up those shares," Qin Mo offered, exuding an aura of superiority. "You can avoid family disputes, and I'll have less trouble."

"I want shares, not because of the money." Jiang Ruan wasn't lying.

If she cared about money, she wouldn't have brought up divorce with Huo Zhizhou in the first place.

For her.

Some things are more important than money.

Qin Mo looked at her with a puzzled expression: "What is that?"

"Take back what rightfully belongs to my mother, and reclaim everything she was forced to give up here." Jiang Ruan met his gaze and said, word by word.

"The Qin family's influence is not as simple as you think," Qin Mo warned. "Not to mention me, you're not even as good as Qin Jiangye."

Jiang Ruan didn't care about these words: "Is there anything else?"

“If you really want to get your aunt's shares back, don't divorce Huo Zhizhou.” Qin Mo said more out of consideration for their family ties. “With him around, many people will be wary.”

"You don't need to worry about that," Jiang Ruan said as she stood up.

If she doesn't divorce Huo Zhi because of this, she would have agreed when he asked her to accept Su Anran's existence.

A person lives only one lifetime.

There are always some things that require persistence.

At least for now, she still cares about everything that happened back then.

"Jiang Ruan," Qin Mo called out to her.

Jiang Ruan was very distant from him: "Is there anything else, Mr. Qin?"

"If you can minimize your contact with Qin Jiangye, he's not as simple as you think." Qin Mo didn't care about her attitude, his thin lips slightly parted as if giving instructions in a procedural manner.

Jiang Ruan said, "Thank you for your concern," and then turned and left.

Before she had taken two steps, she saw Huo Zhizhou walking towards her.

Their eyes met.

She stopped in her tracks instinctively.

Huo Zhizhou's originally fast-paced steps gradually slowed down the moment he met her gaze, until he stopped a few steps away from her.

Seeing the people she hadn't seen for several days stirred up some ripples in Jiang Ruan's heart, which had been calm all night, and her eyes held a wealth of emotions.

She didn't know whether Gu Shixi had told him the truth.

It's unclear how he will react to her filing for divorce.

Qin Mo, who was standing nearby, sensed the subtle atmosphere between the two and realized that they had something to talk about. Without saying a word, he stood up, took his phone, and left to meet up with Xie Yi and the others.

Not long after.

Under the night sky, only the two of them stood facing the wind on this small patch of lawn.

It felt like several tens of seconds had passed.

It felt like an eternity had passed.

Huo Zhizhou made the first move. He lifted his leg and walked towards Jiang Ruan. His steps were slow and steady, and his eyes were fixed on Jiang Ruan, not wanting to look away for even a second.

A few steps later.

He came up to Jiang Ruan.

His gaze swept over her thin dress, and he naturally took off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders, his tone gentle and deep: "Why are you dressed so lightly?"

Their calm tone made it seem as if they were still the loving couple they once were.

Jiang Ruan just watched without saying a word.

She knew very well that it would be over between them soon.

“I know about Su Anran’s matter, you…” Huo Zhizhou brought it up.

Jiang Ruan: "I know too."

Huo Zhizhou: "I'm sorry."

Jiang Ruan didn't respond.

Huo Zhizhou looked at her, pursed his thin lips, and said the last sentence: "I will make her pay the price, and I will make up for what I owe you in the future."

Upon hearing this...

Jiang Ruan knew that Gu Shixi had only told him half of the story.

He didn't know that she was his real savior.

"Ruan Ruan," Huo Zhizhou called to her.

Jiang Ruan calmly replied, "Go on."

Her tone was calm, without anger or outburst, and she didn't even show any significant emotional fluctuations. This made Huo Zhizhou feel uncertain, and a sense of unease rose in his chest.

He would rather Jiang Ruan scold or hit him than have her remain as calm as a stagnant pool.

"When do you plan to come back to Jingzhou with me? After we get Mom's shares, or after Sui Sui finishes this semester?"

"I don't plan to go back." Jiang Ruan's voice was calm and light.

Huo Zhizhou's eyes darkened little by little.

I know she still wants a divorce.

but--

He couldn't possibly agree to that.

"Then I'll stay here with you." Huo Zhizhou gave her time to adjust. "We'll go back when you want to."

Jiang Ruan looked up and met his eyes.

"Don't even think about divorce, I won't agree." Huo Zhizhou seemed to know what she was going to say and spoke first.

He wouldn't let go before.

Now that he has confirmed that Su Anran is not his savior, he will not let her leave.

No matter what the future holds, he will keep her by his side.

Be good to her, pamper her, love her, and make up for all the wrongs and hurts.

Jiang Ruan was still looking into his eyes.

My heart is so calm that not a ripple can be stirred.

She wondered if Huo Zhizhou, who was usually so confident, would still be as calm and methodical in planning everything once he learned that she was the one he had made a promise to.

“I will find a way to help you get the shares in the Qin Group, so you don’t need to worry.” Seeing her too silent, Huo Zhizhou’s unease grew. “Just rest well at home these few days and relieve the fatigue that has accumulated over the past few months.”

Jiang Ruan didn't respond and remained silent.

Her appearance made Huo Zhizhou uneasy and heartbroken at the same time. He reached out and pulled her into his warm embrace, gently placing his other hand on the back of her head: "You've suffered a lot these past few days."

Jiang Ruan's calm heart felt a little sore because of this action.

She knew it was time for her to confront him.

She remembered his good deeds in the past, so at this moment, in this warm and fragrant embrace, her heart was filled with a myriad of emotions. She could hear his strong and powerful heartbeat, and her mind was filled with memories of the past five years.

But because of his mistreatment of her during this period, she no longer longed for his embrace.

A few seconds later.

She left his embrace and distanced herself from him.

"Huo Zhizhou," she called him, in her unique tone and manner.

Huo Zhizhou was always ready to respond: "Go ahead."

Jiang Ruan met his eyes, her expression calm and undisturbed: "Let's get a divorce."

Huo Zhizhou's heart tightened.

Even though he had heard those words many times, hearing them again still made him feel uncomfortable, as if a stone was pressing on his chest. He quickly composed himself and said calmly, "I've said it before, I won't agree..."

“Gu Shixi probably only told you that Su Anran wasn’t your savior,” Jiang Ruan interrupted him, her gentle voice like a sharp sword, “but he didn’t tell you who she replaced.”

Huo Zhizhou paused.

The next second.

As the words sentencing him to "death" came, Jiang Ruan's clear voice said, word by word, "She impersonated me; I am your savior."

Almost instantly, Huo Zhizhou denied it.

It couldn't be Jiang Ruan.

He clearly remembered that the person had a scar on his thigh from saving him, while Jiang Ruan's skin was smooth and fair all over, without a single scar.

How could it be her!
