After pondering about it, Song Liangjiang decided to go to Chu Jingmo to discuss their divorce. So she brought the book to the entrance.

“You caught the book that just came in even before me?” The manager of the library happened to be there today. He smiled as he keyed in the record for her to borrow.

“I know you have a lot of treasures here,” Song Liangjiang replied with a smile.

He sent her a smile, then handed her the book after he’d finished recording it. “I found out about the owner of Mr. Xuan Chi’s manuscript you asked me to find for you. It’s in the hands of a man from Country M. He’s a very strange businessman. In addition to asking for a high price, it’s said that to buy that manuscript, you need to be in his good graces.”

Song Liangjiang put the book in her bag. “How much?”

“Five million yuan.”

Her hand froze. She asked uncertainly, “How much?”

The manager smiled. “Five million. So give it up.”

Song Liangjiang sighed heavily. It seemed like she had to accept the Chu family’s business.

“Lass, you’ve spent a lot of money on Harmonious Flowing Stream and Goblets all these years, but some things are already gone. Don’t be too persistent.”

Even if there was only a small detail about Harmonious Flowing Stream and Goblets in a book, she would still buy it. She did not care how much it cost. She had probably invested no less than a few million over the years.

Song Liangjiang paused and lifted her bag. Just treat it as her obsession.

“I’ll leave now. I’ll return the book next month.”

However, she would not give up on Harmonious Flowing Stream and Goblets.

When Song Liangjiang came out of the library and set off to look for Chu Jingmo, she didn’t expect his mother to come looking for her first.

She was invited into the car and she noticed Madam Chu’s dark face.

“Song Liangjiang, what did you promise me back then?” Madam Chu went straight to the point. If not for the fact that she was a refined and elegant woman, she might have attacked her.

“If Madam Chu wants to talk to me, why don’t you go to President Chu instead and get him to sign the divorce papers? As long as we are divorced, I promise that I will never appear in front of any of you or the Chu family again.” Song Liangjiang raised her hand and swore. She was sincere enough.

“You mean my son is pestering you?” Madam Chu glared at her, thinking that the woman was probably crazy. “If it wasn’t for the Xuan family’s accident, how could you have had the chance to curry favor with the old lady?”

Song Liangjiang had heard similar accusations countless times. She had either compared her to other prestigious families or brought up a dead person. She rolled her eyes.

“Madam Chu, I’ll say it again. I can cooperate with Chu Jingmo to get the divorce any time. Chu Jingmo is not that perfect that everyone has to possess him.” Song Liangjiang pushed open the car door and got out. “Madam Chu, I’ll wait for your good news.”

Madam Chu was panting with anger as she watched Song Liangjiang leave. “Rude girl.”

Song Liangjiang stroked her itchy ears. Madam Chu must be scolding her again.

She went to the Chu Corporation to talk to Chu Jingmo about the divorce. Unexpectedly, he caught him trying on a shirt.

Song Liangjiang was speechless.

Wait, she wasn’t here to accompany him to the birthday celebration, okay?

“Chu Jingmo!” Song Liangjiang waved the stylists away and ran straight to Chu Jingmo. “I have something to say to you.”

Chu Jingmo raised his hand and asked the staff to leave the clothes behind before they left.

“Your suspicion has been cleared, and the murderer has been executed.” Chu Jingmo returned to his desk and sat down. He looked up at Song Liangjiang. “Anything else you want to say?”

Song Liangjiang’s lips moved, and an idea flashed across her mind.

Chu Jingmo had gone so far to invite bids with great effort. Although the architects he brought back had made a name for themselves, it was really not enough for the Chu Corporation.

As soon as they returned to the city, Chu Jingmo allowed them to enter the Chu Corporation’s confidential premises. Although he confiscated their phones, the security did not look strict at all.

Even last night, after Chu Jingmo found out about this, other than his expression turning a little ugly, he did not look furious at all.

Therefore, this was a trap that Chu Jingmo had dug for his third uncle from the beginning. He was just waiting for him to be tricked.

“What are you trying to say?”

Song Liangjiang suddenly came back to her senses. “No, nothing.” She scratched her head as she scanned the surroundings.

If she offended someone like Chu Jingmo, she probably wouldn’t even be able to have her corpse intact. She might as well try her best to survive this year.

Chu Jingmo was satisfied with her reaction. He lifted his chin and gestured to the clothes behind her. “Choose one yourself. I’ll pick you up tomorrow afternoon.”

Song Liangjiang looked at the gowns. She came here to talk about the divorce.

“Well, your mother looked for me today. I think the divorce—”

“My mother came to you when we were married too.”

“That’s because of your grandmother. I’m still inclined to listen to your mother,” Song Liangjiang quipped seriously, expressing that she was indeed such an obedient child.

“Song Liangjiang, did you forget to tell me something?” Chu Jingmo leaned back in his chair and studied the woman who was trying to be unreasonable. She seemed to be hiding something important from him.

“What is it?” Song Liangjiang was obviously guilty.

“It’s best if there isn’t.” Chu Jingmo sneered. He wanted to see how long she could lie to him.

Song Liangjiang returned without achieving anything. Instead, she left with a dress. She kicked the air in frustration when she reached the ground floor. She arrived in a valiant manner and left defeated.

When Song Liangjiang left, she happened to see Third Uncle Chu being taken away. The scene made her retract her feet. It was very scary.

“Chu Jingmo, you heartless beast. Even your grandfather wouldn’t dare to treat me like this when he was alive.” Third Uncle Chu was still cursing as he was dragged away.

Chu Jingmo looked at the man who was cursing with his hands behind his back. “I’m not my grandfather, nor am I my grandmother. From today onwards, I, Chu Jingmo, am in charge of Chu Corporation, not those who have already passed away.”

This announcement was meant for Third Uncle Chu and the remaining old directors.

Song Liangjiang hid outside the crowd and bit her finger as she watched the scene. It seemed that there would be no good outcome if she were to go against these people.

She shivered on a warm summer day and hurriedly left with her small bag. She couldn’t afford to offend him!

Chu Jingmo saw Song Liangjiang running away through the crowd. His expression subconsciously softened.

Song Liangjiang returned home and threw herself on the sofa. Her professor’s wife was watching the financial news, so she chatted with her.

“Chu Jingmo is really ruthless at such a young age.”

He was not only ruthless, but also callous.

Or she could find a way to make Chu Jingmo take the initiative to ask for a divorce, perhaps at the birthday party tomorrow. If she could embarrass him in public, perhaps…

Hmmm!
