After the divorce, my ex-husband and son lined up to pursue me.

Chapter 31 is so hypocritical
Ruan Muhuai still signed the divorce agreement.

He admitted that he did act impulsively, and that there was a large element of spite involved.

But he also wanted to see what Jiang Xia was really up to.

Why does she insist on giving up a perfectly good life and insisting on getting a divorce, even at the cost of abandoning her husband and children? What exactly does she want to do?
In any case, if you get a peaceful divorce and submit the divorce agreement, there is a 30-day cooling-off period.

If it doesn't work, we can cancel it at any time.

Getting a divorce isn't that easy.

Jiang Xia didn't know what Ruan Muhuai was thinking, but assumed that he had figured it out. Although there was still a thirty-day cooling-off period to endure, he could at least see hope.

Moreover, she kept her word and planned to take Ruan Yuanchao with her to accompany Ruan Muhuai back to the old house on the weekend.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone until we're completely divorced." She reassured Ruan Muhuai again, then stood up and looked out the window: "Where's Ruan Yuanchao? He's taking her back to the old house this weekend..."

Before she could continue, Ruan Muhuai coldly interrupted, "It's not the weekend, we're going back today. Don't worry about Ruan Yuanchao, it's just you and me."

Jiang Xia was taken aback and turned to look at him in surprise.

Ruan Muhuai didn't explain, but lit another cigarette and said as he slowly walked out, "Change your clothes, I'll wait for you downstairs."

Jiang Xia frowned as she watched the door close. Recalling the past few days, although she had been trapped in the master bedroom and couldn't get out, she had indeed... not heard Ruan Yuanchao's voice.

Normally, aside from going to kindergarten and early education classes, Ruan Yuanchao would be like a wild horse, running around and playing all over the villa, and would certainly not be as quiet as she has been these past few days.

Furthermore, I haven't heard Aunt Chen's voice either.

Does that mean they're not here?

Jiang Xia went into the dressing room to change her clothes, and considering that she might have to stay in the old house for a few days, she also brought some spare clothes, along with her computer and those papers and notes. After packing everything up, she went downstairs.

She didn't own any valuables. Her jewelry, bags, and the like were all bought for her by Ruan Muhuai after their marriage. She didn't usually like wearing them, and now she had no intention of taking them for herself.

She wasn't just saying she didn't want anything; she was serious.

She had long ago thrown away her wedding ring in the jewelry cabinet.

A failed marriage cannot be measured by money. The emotional investment she made was also voluntary. As for the loss of her youth, didn't Ruan Muhuai also lose those seven years?

When he loved, Jiang Xia gave his all and held nothing back.

Determined to separate, Jiangxia went all out to minimize losses in time.

Although she was bold in love and hate, she was too foolish, but she had a clear conscience and was at least upright.

Ruan Muhuai sat in the Maybach, smoking several cigarettes. When Jiang Xia got in the car, she felt the heavy smoke inside, which made her cough. She quickly rolled down the window.

In the past, she would have definitely advised him to smoke less, but that was like a dog farting; he wouldn't listen anyway.

She had no desire to meddle any further, so she blew out the smoke and casually asked, "Where are Aunt Chen and Ruan Yuanchao? Aren't they here? Where did you send them?"

Aunt Chen originally worked as a maid in the old house and had worked there for most of her life. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she watched Ruan Muhuai grow up. After the two got married, Grandpa allowed Aunt Chen to move in with him.

“Aunt Chen has gone on vacation.” Ruan Muhuai started the car, his face expressionless and his voice indifferent: “As for Ruan Yuanchao, who knows?”

As he finished speaking, he glanced at Jiang Xia from the side.

His gaze was cold and complex, carrying an unfathomable meaning.

Jiang Xia frowned, thinking he was still sulking, so she didn't respond and instead looked down at her phone. The car drove steadily and soon left Qiushuiyuan. Jiang Xia's phone seemed to have left its usual range, flooded with messages.

Among them were Song Nanqi and Ruan Muting.

Song Nanqi: [There are many conservative drug treatment options available. I'll recommend two to you.]

Song Nanqi gave a detailed introduction to the two drug treatment methods, which used different drugs, and he also listed the side effects of each.

Song Nanqi: [I suggest choosing the first option, as it has relatively fewer side effects and is within a controllable range.]

Seeing that Jiang Xia hadn't replied for a while, he sent another message: "[The second option is also possible, but the medication used will somewhat damage the spleen. I saw in your test report that the values ​​aren't particularly good.]"

Song Nanqi: [? ? ?]

Song Nanqi: [Why aren't you replying to me?]

He sent many more messages afterward, in which Song Nanqi explained in detail the drawbacks of the oral medications Jiang Xia was currently taking and suggested that she choose a more suitable treatment method.

Having received no reply, Song Nanqi thought he had said something wrong and upset Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia looked at the timestamps of these messages; they were all sent in the last few days. Feeling helpless, she bit her lip and hurriedly typed: "I'm so sorry, I've been busy lately. Once I'm done in a few days, I'll treat you to dinner, and we can talk in person."

Song Nanqi didn't reply; he's probably in surgery.

Jiang Xia then brought up Ruan Muting's chat window.

Xiao Bao was in a car accident!

One photo after another, mostly of Ruan Yuanchao's injuries, and some of them were taken when the doctor was stitching him up.

[You're really something! Your son is so badly injured, and you haven't said a word! Is he even your son? Even tigers don't eat their cubs, I think you truly are the most vicious woman ever!]

Jiang Xia, you're ruthless! You just wait, you bastard!

When Jiang Xia saw the words 'car accident', her heart clenched suddenly. Looking at the photos, her breath caught in her throat, and her mouth felt filled with bitterness.

"Ruan Muhuai, what did you do at Qiushui Garden? Why can't I receive some of your messages and calls?" Jiang Xia asked weakly, then asked, "And Chaochao, how did he get into a car accident?"

Those photos clearly show that the car accident wasn't serious at all, but the mother's heartache was unbearable!

Ruan Muhuai, with one hand on the steering wheel, turned onto the elevated road. His deep, inscrutable eyes glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, automatically ignoring the previous question. He simply said, avoiding the main point, "Didn't you say you didn't want your son anymore? What are you pretending for?"

These words left Jiang Xia speechless, his heart pounding with anger.

Correct!
She no longer wanted her son. Whether Ruan Yuanchao lived or died, whether he was good or bad, she shouldn't care, and it was none of her business anymore!
Jiang Xia, suppressing her frustration, lowered her head and continued looking at her phone.

But the barely visible fingers had already turned bluish-white.

Ruan Muhuai also made no attempt to hide his cold smile: "If you can't keep up the act, then you just give up? Jiang Xia, I'm only now realizing how hypocritical you really are."

Jiang Xia's fingers trembled, and she bit her lip hard, feeling stifled: "Stop going on and on, just drive properly..."

Before she could finish speaking, her phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID on the screen, Ruan Muhuai asked, "Whose call is it?"
