Chapter 539 What you sow, you reap.

“No,” Jiang Ruan said seriously. “I don’t want my reputation ruined.”

Chi Qian curled her lips: "How did it ruin your reputation?"

“If a man divorces his wife and then gets together with another man,” Jiang Ruan earnestly used this analogy to him, “what kind of person do you think he is?”

“Well…” Chi Qian drawled out the last syllable.

Jiang Ruan: "You really won't get the inheritance of the Chi family?"

Chi Qian: "Yes."

Chi Qian: "As long as my brother isn't a complete waste, the inheritance will always belong to him."

"Your mother is completely unreasonable?" Jiang Ruan asked.

“It doesn’t make sense.” Chi Qian wasn’t angry about it; she was used to it. “She’s so anxious now that she can’t sleep, and she’s stopped going out with her friends and shopping because of it. All she can think about is brainwashing me.”

Jiang Ruan felt a mix of emotions.

Although Madam Tao was worried about Chi Qian, she forgot to trust her.

A woman's success is not measured by whether she marries well or poorly, and her personal value is unrelated to marriage.

However, Madam Tao does not yet understand this principle.

"Don't worry, I'm fine," Chi Qian said. "I just need some peace and quiet every now and then after hearing so much."

After finishing the meal.

The two then went to other places for a stroll.

Around two or three in the afternoon, Chi Qian walked along, glancing at the person next to her, and said, "Something's not right with you."

Jiang Ruan: "Hmm?"

“Logically speaking, you’ve only recently taken over the Qin Group’s shares, so you should have a lot to do.” Chi Qian genuinely felt that Jiang Ruan had something on her mind. “You shouldn’t be chatting with me at this time.”

Especially since we've been chatting and wandering around for so long.

Jiang Ruan casually said, "Everything has been basically resolved, so I came out to rest and relax a bit."

“Judging from how hard you were working before, you don’t seem like someone who knows how to rest and relax.” Chi Qian knew Jiang Ruan fairly well. “Either you encounter a problem that requires my help, or you have something on your mind that you need to clear your head.”

"You just said there was no one you needed my help with, so there's only one left."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

Jiang Ruan learned to play a trick on her: "Can't I just simply want to find you?"

“At least for now, it’s not as simple as it seems.” Chi Qian’s tone rose slightly. “Every time I come to you, it’s for a reason.”

Jiang remained silent.

Given how busy they are right now.

They certainly wouldn't go out to play just because they're bored.

Just then.

Jiang Ruan's phone rang.

It was sent by Sui Sui: "Mommy, Daddy's leaving in ten minutes. When are you coming back?"

"Are you hiding from Huo Zhizhou?" Chi Qian accidentally glanced at her phone screen.

Jiang Ruan: "It's not called hiding."

Chi Qian: "He wants to reconcile with you?"

Jiang remained silent.

"Are we going back now?" Chi Qian asked.

"It's the same whether you eat dinner or go back."

"OK."

Jiang Ruan continued to enjoy her rare period of leisure, while Huo Zhizhou had a completely different feeling.

He waited there for most of the day, but no one came back.

He doesn't answer the phone or reply to messages.

She really didn't seem to like him very much.

As for Jiang An and Grandpa Qin, they went about their own business after breakfast.

With him was only Sui Sui.

“Uncle Huo, you should go now.” Sui Sui said seriously, her childish face gradually maturing. “You’ve disturbed our family’s life.”

Huo Zhizhou pinched his cheek: "Didn't you call me 'Dad' last time?"

Sui Sui: "Oh, withdraw."

Huo Zhizhou remained silent.

He wasn't as relaxed as he appeared. He could clearly sense that Jiang Ruan didn't want to be with him; she rejected him, hated him, and even loathed him.

“You’re only making Mommy want to stay away from you more,” Sui Sui said. “It’s better to keep a proper distance.”

“If you really keep your distance, your mommy won’t even let me see her.” Huo Zhizhou knows Jiang Ruan too well; if he doesn’t do this, he won’t even have a chance to get close to her.

In time, she will forget him.

That will be when I truly lose her.

"Who told you to hurt Mommy for that auntie?" Sui Sui saw it all clearly. "You reap what you sow."

Huo Zhizhou raised an eyebrow slightly: "Can't you put in a good word for me?"

Sui Sui: "No."

Huo Zhizhou: "Don't you want me to get back together with your mother?"

Sui Sui was very straightforward: "I don't want to."

"So heartless?" Huo Zhizhou pinched his chubby cheeks again.

“You were the one who was heartless first.” Sui Sui couldn’t forget the days before. “You made Mommy live in such a small rented room, and she had to go to work and take care of me at the same time.”

He had no idea how many conflicts existed between his mother and father.

But would true love really make Mommy live in a rented apartment?

Ultimately, the father's love was also superficial.

Huo Zhizhou did not refute.

He was very angry during that time, so he hoped she would turn back after hitting a wall, but who knew...

"It was Dad who didn't think it through."

"If you don't think things through, you have to bear the consequences," Sui Sui said seriously. "It's not like you can pretend nothing happened just because the matter is over."

Huo Zhizhou was taken aback.

I never expected a five-year-old to be able to articulate such profound truths.

“Mommy is already tired from work.” Sui Sui’s words were heartbreaking. “You still bother her without considering her wishes. You can’t be so selfish.”

“If you weren’t selfish, your mommy wouldn’t want me anymore,” Huo Zhizhou said.

Sui Sui said earnestly, "Mommy doesn't want you anymore."

Huo Zhizhou: "Do you have to stab me in the heart?"

Sui Sui was a little arrogant: "Hmph."

"Since you dislike me so much, I won't stay and annoy you anymore." Huo Zhizhou rubbed his head, and seeing that he wasn't affected by his divorce from Jiang Ruan, he felt a little relieved. "I'm leaving."

"Did you remember what you just said?" Sui Sui asked him.

Huo Zhizhou pretended not to know: "What are you talking about?"

Sui Sui snorted, with a hint of arrogance: "Don't bother Mommy so casually. If you can behave well, I can speak well of you to Mommy and let you come once a month."

"Only twelve times a year?" Huo Zhizhou pointed out.

Sui Sui: "Compared to those who are divorced and can't see their children, this is already a lot!"

Huo Zhizhou reached out and gently flicked his forehead: "I still prefer to take the opportunity into my own hands."

Twelve times a year.

I always stay at home.

It's highly likely that Ruan Ruan doesn't like him.

You probably won't even exchange a few words in a year, so you might as well find your own opportunities.

Sui Sui covered her forehead, glaring at him angrily.

"When you're in a good mood, remember to say a good word for Dad." Huo Zhizhou reminded him before leaving, "I'll give you a red envelope if you succeed."

"Don't even think about it," Sui Sui replied.

Huo Zhizhou patted his head again before leaving.

As soon as he left, Jiang An and Old Master Qin emerged from the shadows.

Seeing that Sui Sui was still fuming and covering her forehead, Grandpa Qin asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

"It was beaten by someone who couldn't get a wife, so he attacked his son." Sui Sui's gaze was still looking outside, and her words had a childlike quality. "I'm never talking to him again."
