Chapter 33 Jiang Li’s Wavering

As Huo Ru climbed down, Huo Yun stood by the bed and watched her leave. A crazy idea surfaced in her mind.

As long as Huo Ru fell from here, even if she didn’t die, as long as she was disfigured or had broken limbs, she wouldn’t be a big threat anymore.

The Huo family would not accept a cripple as their successor, and the Yun family would not accept a cripple as their wife.

This demonic thought suddenly occupied her mind. She picked up the scissors and smiled brightly at Huo Ru.

The cold light of the scissors flashed and the rope snapped.

Huo Yun would never become her ally. That was what Huo Ru had always known.

She would not trust anyone with her life, let alone Huo Yun. She had been mentally prepared when she climbed down the rope.

Huo Ru had no intention of climbing down. Instead, she took the opportunity to swing into the room on the second floor.

The glass shattered and she rolled into the room, the shards stabbed into her face and body. A few pieces of glass had even cut deep into her skin and embedded themselves in her flesh.

The small wound brought about continuous stabbing pain, but she did not have time to struggle or cry out in pain. The sound of the glass breaking was so loud that people nearby would come to check at any time, Huo Yun did not know if it would alarm others.

Now she was surrounded on all sides.

Huo Ru carefully opened the door slightly, she saw two teams of people were walking towards the room from two directions. On one side were the servants in the room, and on the other were bodyguards in suits. It seemed that they had already discovered that Huo Ru had run out of her room.

She decided not to hide anymore. She leisurely climbed onto the windowsill and sat facing the door.

Crying, throwing a tantrum, and hanging herself were often the most effective strategies, especially when facing bodyguards who were clearly restrained.

Sure enough, as soon as they opened the door, everyone could not help but slow down when they saw this scene. They had plenty of ways to control someone who was seeking death, provided that she was not the eldest daughter of the Huo family and someone who was about to become the daughter-in-law of the Yun family.

“If you dare to take a step closer, I’ll jump down from here immediately. Anyway, if anything happens to me, none of you will be able to escape,” Huo Ru said calmly. She looked like a person who was determined to die, her skirt fluttered in the air like broken butterfly wings.

“Miss, don’t do anything stupid!” The servants were anxious. Huo Ru had just left in a hurry, and they were at a loss. They really didn’t know what to do.

At this moment, the two sides formed a delicate balance and were in a stalemate.

This wasn’t the way to do it, Huo Ci didn’t care if she died or not. All he cared about was his own interests. Once Huo Ci returned, she definitely wouldn’t be able to escape.

If Huo Yun did not appear now, it meant that she did not want to get into trouble. There was only one person who she could speak to now.

“Call Jiang Li. I’ll only talk to her.”

When Jiang Li was told by the servant that Huo Ru was going to commit suicide by the window, she was still a little stunned. She rushed to the second floor and saw Huo Ru swaying. Her heart was pounding.

After being married to Huo Ru for so many years, she knew Huo Ru like the back of her hand. Huo Ru was Huo Ci’s biological daughter and was engaged to the Yun family. No matter how big a mistake she made, Huo Ci wouldn’t be able to do anything. However, if anything happened to Huo Ru at her hands, Huo Ci would definitely hate her and might even divorce her.

Huo Ci was not a kind man. On the contrary, he was an extremely selfish man with only ambition and desire.

He was already vaguely dissatisfied with Jiang Li’s identity.

“Xiao Ru, speak slowly. Don’t joke with your life.”

Jiang Li had already lost the game with Huo Ru the moment she opened her mouth. Both of them were anxious, so whoever revealed it first would lose.

“Tell them to back off.”

Huo Ru’s request alarmed Jiang Li. Huo Ru hung her legs out and swayed, looking like she was about to fall out.

“Okay, okay, don’t move anymore!” Jiang Li agreed and waved everyone out.

“Let me out of here,” Huo Ru demanded.

“Haha, Xiao Ru, what are you talking about? Have you forgotten that you still have a marriage alliance with the Yun family? Your father won’t agree to it either.” Jiang Li laughed awkwardly, her tone uncertain.

“Don’t tell me you don’t know how many stocks, houses, and savings my father left me? Don’t you realize the reality? As long as I’m in the Huo family, all of this will be mine. What about you and Huo Yun? You won’t have anything.”

Huo Ru looked straight into her eyes. “Only if I escape and become that disobedient daughter forever will Huo Ci give Huo Yun more and more.”
