Chapter 294 It's better to end it all completely

"Then I'll go," Gu Shixi said after confirming that he was alright. "If anything happens, call me or Jiang Yu."

Huo Zhizhou hummed in agreement.

Gu Shixi disappeared in a flash.

When he got off, Jiang Ruan had just gotten into Ye Yanzhi's car.

Su Zhu, sitting in the passenger seat, asked Jiang Ruan, who had gotten into the back seat, with concern, "Huo Zhizhou didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Jiang Ruan shook her head: "No."

"That's good." Ever since Su Zhu heard that Huo Zhizhou was in the hospital, she hadn't been able to completely relax. "I was worried that he would act crazy and make things difficult for you like before."

"If he tries to make things difficult for me, I'll just turn around and leave." Jiang Ruan constantly reminded herself to stay clear-headed. "We're not husband and wife, so he wouldn't dare to forcefully stop me."

Such a situation between husband and wife might be considered a family conflict, and attempts to mediate it would likely yield no results.

However, even after a divorce, there are no emotional disputes, and any inappropriate behavior could be illegal or criminal.

"How long do you plan to stay here?" Ye Yanzhi asked.

"It depends." Jiang Ruan put her phone in her bag. "If I'm going to be working on projects here, I'll have to stay here on and off for about a month."

Ye Yanzhi and Su Zhu exchanged a glance.

The two of them had the same thought: Could this project be something Huo Zhizhou specially prepared to keep Ruan Ruan?

Jiang Ruan saw through their thoughts at a glance: "He won't meddle in my business, it's none of his concern."

Then along the way.

The three chatted casually as usual, as if the previous confession had completely vanished.

They went to a restaurant for dinner, and Ye Yanzhi, as always, acted as the mood-maker, talking about interesting things that happened this month and reminiscing about the past. The three of them were not affected by the confession at all.

Gu Shixi, who had come to eavesdrop on the gossip, was in a terrible mood when he saw that they were only talking about very trivial things.

This is the daily routine.

There was no way to describe it vividly to Huo Er.

The dinner ended not long afterward. As Jiang Ruan and Su Zhu were leaving the restaurant, a figure suddenly darted out and blocked their way.

The person who arrived was dressed casually, with a haggard face and sorrowful eyes.

If she weren't very familiar with her, Jiang Ruan would hardly recognize that this was Su Anran.

"Jiang Ruan." Su Anran stared directly at Jiang Ruan, her eyes filled with madness and ferocity, now masked by a dimness and helplessness. "Can I talk to you? Just for a moment!"

"I have nothing to say to you," Jiang Ruan said, then turned and left.

If Su Anran hadn't taken this path, she would admire her greatly.

Despite coming from a poor family and suffering abuse from her parents, she persevered and was admitted to Jingzhou University. She understood how difficult this was for someone from a remote town, so much so that she wanted to be friends with her the moment she met her.

Firstly, because she looks somewhat like Su Zhu and is kind and approachable.

Secondly, she admires people like that.

But Su Anran chose the worst path.

"Please!" Su Anran was no longer as arrogant as before. "I have no other friends, only you."

Jiang Ruan ignored her desperate pleas, said goodbye to Su Zhu, and left with Ye Yanzhi.

The feud between them started a long time ago. From the moment she spread rumors about her and colluded with others to bully her, it was impossible for them to have a good relationship.

"Ginger Soft!"

"Ginger Soft!"

Su Anran rushed up and called to her.

Ye Yan stepped on the gas, completely widening the distance between them. Su Anran ran a few steps and fell to the ground. Despair gradually enveloped her entire body, and a sense of powerlessness welled up from the depths of her heart.

Not long after.

A middle-aged woman walked over.

When she saw Su Anran standing there with tears in her eyes, she grabbed her hair and said, "You brat! I've been looking for you everywhere! You don't answer the phone or reply to messages, are you trying to turn the world upside down?!"

"Ouch! That hurts!" Su Anran's scalp throbbed with pain.

"You still feel pain?" The middle-aged woman's face was pale. "Why didn't you think of these things when you weren't replying to messages?"

"Why should I reply to your message!" Su Anran pulled hard, enduring the excruciating pain to break free from her grip. "You called just to talk about those trivial things! I can tell you clearly right now, don't even think about using me to make money off someone else!"

"Smack!"

The middle-aged woman slapped her.

Blood trickled from the corner of Su Anran's mouth, but she stubbornly stared at her, refusing to admit defeat.

"How dare you talk to me like that?" The middle-aged woman's eyes were filled with hostility. "I've already accepted the bride price, and you'll be marrying into the family in a couple of days."

Su Anran sneered.

Middle-aged woman: "Don't look at me like that. It's your own fault for not holding on to Huo Zhizhou. You can't even handle a man. You're really useless."

"If you're so useful, why didn't you manage to win over Su Bingcheng?" Su Anran blurted out sarcastically. "You even used trashy tricks like pricking condoms with needles and still didn't get the slightest attention from him. You're just too useful."

"Su Anran!" the middle-aged woman snapped.

"Honestly, if you can't be a good parent, don't have children." Su Anran said, her emotions churning in her chest. "It's because of parents like you, who are gamblers and alcoholics, that I have such a failed life."

Who would want to be born an illegitimate child?

Who doesn't want a complete family?

But she was born into poverty and grew up in a dirty environment, so she also needed a safe haven and light.

"Slap!" Another slap.

Su Anran's face turned to the side after being hit.

She suddenly laughed.

He laughed more and more wildly.

The middle-aged woman found it unsettling to see her with such a furrowed brow: "What are you laughing at!"

"You've already spent the dowry money Mr. Wang gave you, haven't you?" Su Anran knew that her mother had been finding all sorts of wealthy men for her, regardless of age or character, all for the sake of collecting a dowry when she got married.

A bad feeling suddenly welled up in the middle-aged woman's heart.

"I forgot to tell you that Huo Zhizhou has sued me, and the trial will be held in a while." Su Anran said this while watching her increasingly frightened expression. "Given the amount of money I defrauded before, a life sentence wouldn't be difficult."

The middle-aged woman's pupils contracted.

Su Anran had already gone a little crazy: "When President Wang can't find you, will he use you to pay off the debt or break your arms and legs to make you pay back the money?"

"Are you crazy!" The middle-aged woman lunged at her, trying to grab her face.

Su Anran dodged away, her eyes devoid of emotion: "I've gone mad since the day you let that gambler peep at me while I'm showering, You Lanqing. Your retribution is coming soon. Neither of you will have a good end."

After saying that, he turned and walked away quickly, having made a crazy decision in his heart.

Since life is so meaningless, the future is bleak.

It would be better to end it all completely.

Jiang Ruan had just finished a video call with Sui Sui when she received the call from Jingzhou First People's Hospital: "Hello, is this Ms. Jiang Ruan?"

Jiang Ruan: "Yes."

"This is Jingzhou First People's Hospital. Your friend is in the emergency room receiving first aid." The hospital representative spoke quickly. "Please come over here."
