Chapter 251 All That's Left Is Money

"If there are no problems, please sign here." Assistant Jiang took out the other power of attorney documents. "I'll help you transfer everything."

Jiang Ruan took it and glanced at it a few times.

After confirming that there were no problems, I simply signed the document.

She didn't want to argue with him about these things anymore. If he wanted to give them to her, then he could. In any case, she would transfer these things to Sui Sui's name later anyway.

"Miss Jiang," Assistant Jiang said after she had signed the document.

Jiang Ruan's gaze fell on him: "Mm."

Assistant Jiang coughed lightly and pursed his lips: "Boss has a small request, I wonder if you can agree."

Jiang Ruan remained expressionless: "Go ahead."

"He asked me to ask you if he could borrow a place to live in Soft Garden, or even rent it." Assistant Jiang's expression was somewhat complicated as he asked this question. "His remaining house is a bit far from the Huo Group, so it's not very convenient for him to get to work."

"Now is fine." Jiang Ruan hardened her heart, becoming more ruthless than anyone else. "Not after the divorce."

Jiang's assistant was stunned for a moment.

For a moment I didn't react.

Is this seemingly cold and unapproachable person really Miss Jiang?

“You can have him keep these houses without transferring them to me,” Jiang Ruan said, pointing to the houses on the list. “Or you can transfer Ruanyuan back to his name.”

"Do you really have absolutely no feelings for the BOSS?" Assistant Jiang rarely asked such a presumptuous question.

Jiang Ruan pursed her light-colored lips.

How could there not be?

She's not a robot that automatically erases all past memories at a certain time.

There are too many problems between them. Even without this recent event, potential conflicts would have erupted over time.

"I'm sorry," Assistant Jiang realized the question was inappropriate, "I will pass your message on to the BOSS."

Jiang Ruan hummed in agreement without offering further explanation.

Huo Zhizhou had many options: keep the house or buy a new one, but he didn't make that decision. Instead, he had his assistant, Jiang, make the request he had just made.

Either he was testing her limits after the divorce, or he wanted to maintain a connection with her.

Regardless of which one.

She doesn't want to deal with it for the time being.

"Then I'll be going now." Assistant Jiang stood up, holding the power of attorney that Jiang Ruan had signed, completely suppressing all his emotions. "On the day you get the divorce certificate, someone will pick you up and take you to Jingzhou. You can just wait at home."

Jiang Ruan expressed her thoughts: "No need, I'll book my own plane ticket and go."

Assistant Jiang hesitated for a moment, then finally agreed: "Okay."

No sooner had he left than Jiang An appeared in the study.

Seeing Jiang Ruan sitting there silently, neither sad nor happy, she sat down and asked with concern, "What did Assistant Jiang say to you? Why do you look so unhappy?"

"Mom." Jiang Ruan wasn't very enthusiastic.

Jiang An was very gentle with her: "Hmm?"

Jiang forced a smile: "I'm so poor now that all I have left is money."

"So, are you going to continue dealing with the Qin family?" Jiang An respected all her decisions, including this one. "Qin Mo told me that as long as you give up your shares, you will receive a dividend of 100 million yuan every year."

Jiang Ruan raised her eyebrows slightly.

Why did they even come to their mother?

“The money I have here includes the office building that Grandpa Qin gave you, the niche luxury brand that Li Zhishen gave you, and the divorce settlement that Huo Zhizhou gave you.” Jiang An hoped she would think it through. “Even if you don’t try to get those shares back, you and Sui Sui can live a life of comfort and security.”

Jiang Ruan vaguely knew what she was going to say.

“If possible, I don’t want you to fight with the Qin family,” Jiang An said bluntly. “They really don’t care about human life.”

There's not much she can do about this.

Once they discover that she helped Ruanruan, no matter how hard Ruanruan tries, she won't be able to get the shares.

After all, the agreement clearly stated that Jiang Ruan was not allowed to interfere if she had any dealings with the Qin family, otherwise it would be void.

“I know,” Jiang Ruan guessed, “but I want to fight for it.”

From the moment she learned that her mother was being forced to give up her shares, she knew that Qin Muchuan was no good person, not to mention that he had conspired with his two sons to harm her mother.

Having experienced all of this, she knew that as long as she lived, there was always the possibility of an "accident" happening every day.

In that case, we might as well take a gamble.

She'll take any challenge that comes her way, and she'll be open about everything.

Not to mention that this originally belonged to my mother.

“Alright, since you’ve made your decision, Mom won’t say anything more.” Seeing her serious expression, Jiang An didn’t try to persuade her further. “From now on, take Mo Mo with you when you go out, and make sure he stays with you every step of the way.”

"Okay," Jiang Ruan agreed.

After this conversation, she studied even harder.

Seeing that the study light was still on at one o'clock in the morning, Jiang An felt a rare mix of emotions.

Should she not have stopped her from studying management and finance in the first place?

The thought was dismissed as soon as it came to mind.

All decisions are for the best. If she had let her go down this path back then, who knows how many accidents and dangers would have occurred over the years, both openly and secretly. Qin Muchuan's methods have never been aboveboard.

A mere property transfer agreement was enough to make him kill her.

You know, Ruan Ruan would definitely use any means necessary to secretly learn or openly study those majors.

As she had expected, Qin Muchuan had been looking worried ever since Jiang Ruan stayed home after attending the banquet.

No.

He summoned Qin Mo to the study.

Looking at his son, who was far more outstanding than him, Qin Muchuan asked seriously, "What do you plan to do about Jiang Ruan?"

"According to the Qin family's rules, we test her abilities before she inherits the shares." Qin Mo's expression was indifferent, and his words were slightly cold. "Give her a company that is on the verge of bankruptcy and see if she can turn the tide."

Qin Muchuan frowned as he looked at him: "Is it that simple?"

"It's easy for someone who grew up in the Qin family, but it's very difficult for Jiang Ruan, who has never studied this kind of thing," Qin Mo said. "She has always lived under the wings of her aunt and Huo Zhizhou and doesn't know anything."

"Who knows if Qin An secretly taught her?" Qin Muchuan's expression was grim.

Qin Mo bluntly exposed him: "Didn't you test me?"

Qin Muchuan frowned deeply.

Over the past twenty years, he had indeed secretly tested Jiang Ruan many times. Apart from her excellent grades and her studies in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, she had not been involved in anything related to business.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed her to live until now.

Thinking back on this, I still regret my past decision.

"If you hadn't stopped me back then, none of this would have happened," Qin Muchuan accused him.

Qin Mo's cold eyes remained indifferent: "If I hadn't stopped you, the current head of the Qin family would be Second Uncle."

Qin Muchuan frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

"Grandpa listened to you and Second Uncle and forced Aunt away, but to him, Aunt is still the most outstanding child in his heart." Qin Mo stated the facts ruthlessly, "Neither you nor Second Uncle can replace her."

Upon hearing this...

Qin Muchuan's expression suddenly darkened!

If Qin An hadn't always been ahead of him and kept him in check, how could he not have been valued by his father?

She haunts him like a ghost. Even though he had been driven away, his father still kept mentioning her in his ear, saying that if he had even a fraction of Qin An's intelligence and ability, the Qin family could have remained firmly in the top position among the four great families, instead of being stuck in this limbo.
