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

Chapter 63 The trouble won't last long

Ruan Muhuai's unexpected reaction left Jiang Xia somewhat at a loss.

She didn't leave her bedroom that night and didn't see Ruan Muhuai again. The next day, to her surprise, Uncle De brought her breakfast. After she ate, he said, "Young Madam, you still have injuries. Why don't you stay a few more days?"

The implication was that, just as Ruan Muhuai had said, they were going to let her go.

Jiang Xia, of course, was not about to miss the opportunity and said frankly, "No, I have work to do and it's not good to keep delaying. Besides, it's just a minor injury. I'll be careful and I can recover slowly when I get back to Haicheng."

Uncle De nodded nodding, but when he heard Jiang Xia say that he had work, he frowned slightly in confusion.

But he didn't ask any more questions. He just gave Jiang Xia a couple more words of advice. Seeing that she was determined to leave, Uncle De went to have a car prepared.

Ruan Muhuai still has not appeared.

When Jiang Xia finished packing and went downstairs in her wheelchair, the wooden stairs were too difficult for a wheelchair to navigate.

She tried to slowly walk downstairs, but her ankle, which had been fractured less than a month ago and was in a heavy cast, made it impossible for her to put any weight on it, and even trying was very difficult.

Jiang Xia was caught off guard and felt a pain in her ankle. Moreover, all her weight was on her other leg, which made her clumsy in going downstairs. She kept swaying and staggering. Suddenly, a series of footsteps came from that moment.

Before she could react, an arm wrapped around her waist, then hugged her, lifted her into the air, and quickly strode down the stairs.

Jiang Xia looked at Ruan Muhuai, who was so close to her, and pursed her lips, unsure of what to say.

Fortunately, Ruan Muhuai remained silent. After going downstairs, he carried her wheelchair down, put her in it, and then went upstairs, disappearing from sight quickly.

"..."

They looked at each other in silence.

Jiang Xia sighed inwardly, quickly withdrew his gaze, and without thinking much, left the mansion in his electric wheelchair.

Uncle De had already helped her carry her luggage into the trunk, then came over to help her into the car. He then told the driver to drive slowly on the road, exchanged a few polite words with Jiang Xia, and watched the car drive away.

After leaving the village and entering the toll station, the car quickly got onto the highway.

Jiang Xia sat in the back seat, watching the green belt recede outside the car window, and felt a sense of relief finally coming to his previously suppressed heart.

Finally left.

Finally... I got rid of Ruan Muhuai.

Jiang Xia felt as if she had been given a second chance at life. She let out a long breath and then took out her phone to call her lawyer, still about handling divorce proceedings and the redistribution of property.

“Ms. Jiang, you have raised two issues.” After listening, the lawyer gave professional advice. “First of all, your and Mr. Ruan’s cooling-off period for divorce does expire today, but there are still thirty days left. During this period, you and he need to voluntarily go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to complete the divorce procedures.”

Because it was a divorce by mutual consent, the lawyer could not handle the process on their behalf.

"However, if one party, for example Mr. Ruan, suddenly disagrees with the divorce, then the cooling-off period expires, and you are still in the process of getting a divorce. If you want to get a divorce again, you will need to submit an agreement again and wait for another 30-day cooling-off period."

The words were still ringing in his ears when Jiang Xia fell silent.

The lawyer continued, "That's the first thing. The second thing is that if you want to redistribute the property, you will inevitably need to submit a new divorce agreement, which will require Mr. Ruan's voluntary signature. At the same time, it also means that your divorce attempt has failed, and the cooling-off period is immediately over."

Jiang Xia frowned repeatedly. She didn't really know much about marriage law, so she said, "Is it so difficult to get a divorce now? And it doesn't seem fair."

The lawyer smiled, not elaborating on the issue, and simply said, "Ms. Jiang, please think it over carefully. Contact me again if anything comes up." After hanging up, Jiang Xia fell into deep thought.

Getting married is easy, getting divorced is difficult. What should we do?

The car wasn't very spacious, and the driver easily overheard her phone conversation. He hesitated whether to offer advice, but his priority was to report the news to Uncle De.

At the ancestral home, Uncle De was helping Ruan Muhuai pack his things. Jiang Xia had left, so there was no need for him to stay any longer.

Uncle De heard his phone vibrate, glanced at the message, and was so shocked that his hands almost trembled and he dropped the phone.

After much deliberation, he couldn't resist running out, only to bump into Ruan Muhuai who was walking in.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Uncle De looked worried and said nervously, "Young Master, the young mistress wants a divorce? This... why? The young master is so grown up, and we haven't wronged her at all!"

Ruan Muhuai frowned, casually holding the phone he had just finished answering, and stepped aside, saying, "What do you know?"

Uncle De rubbed his head: "No, I don't understand the details between you two, but are you just going to let her do whatever she wants?"

"Don't tell my grandpa." Ruan Muhuai went into the dressing room, then glanced back at Uncle De, who looked worried and anxious. "Don't worry, she won't cause trouble for long."

The car is still speeding along the highway.

After thinking it over, Jiang Xia decisively called the lawyer again: "The property doesn't need to be redistributed. Since the cooling-off period has ended, there are still thirty days left to complete the procedures, right?"

The lawyer said, "Yes, there are still thirty days left."

“Okay, I understand.” Jiang Xia’s eyes were deep and resolute. “Could you please draft another document for me? It’s not a will, but it will be different from a will, though it will involve notarization. I’ll send you the details.”

Even without redistributing the assets, she could still maximize her son's interests and ensure Ruan Yuanchao's financial freedom for the rest of his life if she wanted to.

For no other reason than that she is a mother.

The driver couldn't understand what she was doing, so naturally he couldn't secretly keep it a secret.

After crossing the ring expressway, the car drove directly into the city. Jiang Xia didn't let the car go to Qiushuiyuan, but got out of the car at the entrance of the research institute.

She showed her work badge and, with the help of the security guard, quickly entered the building.

It was just noon when Lou Yushi ran out to pick up her takeout and bumped into Jiang Xia. "Hey! What are you doing here..."

Lou Yushi stopped expressing her surprise immediately, and then she remembered the video call she had made yesterday. She felt embarrassed and a little regretful, and her expression was not very natural.

Jiang Xia smiled and pushed her wheelchair forward, asking, "Have they all gone to eat?"

Lou Yushi was still a little awkward: "Yes, yes, who are you looking for? Professor Yan is here for..."

She almost let something slip again, and quickly pursed her lips.

Jiang Xia sensed that she had something more to say, so he smiled and said, "I also ordered takeout. Could you bring it up for me? Then we can eat and chat."

"What a hassle, why didn't you bring it up yourself when you went upstairs?" Lou Yushi complained subconsciously, but couldn't help being curious: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
