Chapter 34 Escape

Jiang Li was different from Huo Yun, she did not waver quickly. Instead, she said with a friendly smile, “Xiao Ru, what are you talking about? Of course I won’t be biased towards you and Xiao Yun. What your father gives you is your father’s business.”

“Oh? Is that so?” Huo Ru drawled, her feet swinging by the window, ready to fall with the wind at any moment.

“Hehe, of course,” Jiang Li agreed awkwardly.

“I’m afraid you don’t even know how much of Huo Ci’s assets are in your hands, do you?” Huo Ru said casually. “How many things has he given you since you married him? A villa that’s so remote that birds don’t even shit in it, a car that’s so old that it’s about to be scrapped. He has an invoice for every piece of jewelry you have, and Huo Yun is even more pitiful. It wasn’t easy for him to lower himself and split some of the Huo Corporation’s shares, but before he could warm up, it’s going to be mine. In the end, you have nothing.”

Huo Ru had once been groomed as the heir of the Huo Group. Such a small matter was unimportant and Huo Ci had never hidden it from her and even generously showed it to her. She told her how charitable Huo Ci was towards her.

At the same time, this also hit a sore spot in Jiang Li’s heart. She had struggled step by step from an ordinary family to her current position. After following Huo Ci for so many years, she seemed to be in a good position, but she actually didn’t get much. As long as Huo Ci was willing, he could take back everything at any time, not to mention that she had a daughter waiting to be married off.

“Besides, running away on my own is better than dying here, right?” Huo Ru smiled. “Since we’re already at this point, I’ll just jump down from here and be done with it. Even if I don’t die today, as long as I want to, I can always find a chance. When the time comes, I’ll write a random suicide note accusing you and Huo Yun of secretly bullying me. Do you think Huo Ci will believe me?”

Jiang Li did not expect Huo Ru to have such a vicious heart at such a young age. Not to mention others, she was even so ruthless to herself.

“So what if you wrote it? Your father won’t believe you.”

“You’re so stupid. No one can defeat a dead person. Even if he doesn’t completely believe it, he would still doubt it. At that time, you will become the sinner of the relationship between the Huo family and the Yun family. It’s interesting just thinking about it.”

Jiang Li didn’t say anything, nor did she have any words to refute. This would definitely happen.

She gritted her teeth and said, “Okay, I can let you out, but you have to keep this matter to yourself.”

Huo Ru smiled and said, “Don’t worry, only we will know what happened.”

Jiang Li opened the door and Huo Ru watched her. In fact, she wasn’t sure if Jiang Li would really help. She had no choice and decided that she would take a gamble. If she didn’t succeed, she would at most expose the fact that she was already married and could delay it for a while. Not to mention anything else, she would at least be able to see Yun Feng when she went to get a divorce.

When she thought of Yun Feng, her heart was filled with a calm and firm strength. At the same time, she felt uneasy. She didn’t know when Yun Feng would return home, nor did she know if Li Ma would realize that she had disappeared.

Her situation was not good, and Yun Feng’s side was in a mess. When it was time for lunch, Auntie Li still did not see Huo Ru wake up. She knocked on the door and saw that the room was empty, so she immediately called Yun Feng to ask about it. Yun Feng did not care at first, but after calling a few times, his brows twitched.

A guess surfaced in his mind. Yun Feng called for Hao Ming. “Check whether Madam returned to the Huo family?”

“I’ll take Miss to her mother’s bedroom. You don’t have to follow me, go do what you need to do.”

No one suspected anything. Those who needed to repair the windows and those who needed to be on guard had never thought that Madam would be an accomplice to Miss’s escape.

They arrived at Huo Ru’s mother’s bedroom on the first floor. Actually, it was not appropriate to term it as a bedroom. Her mother had moved here after being seriously ill, she did not expect that today would be her escape route.

“Climb out of the window yourself, I’ll call for help in five minutes. I’ve already done my best, it’s up to you if you can get out or not.” Jiang Li led her here. Firstly, it was convenient and hidden. This room was the most unguarded place in the entire villa and was closest to the forest. Secondly, it was convenient for her to find an excuse. Huo Ci wouldn’t blame her completely later.

Huo Ru didn’t waste any more time talking to her. She picked up her dress and jumped over the window sill, running towards the forest.
