Daily Intelligence: Forced to Save the Beautiful President at the Beginning

68: Chapter 68 Signing the Letter of Divorce and Starting a New Life”How dare you! Liu Ruyan, don’t push your luck!” Liu Zhengguo’s roar almost shattered the phone receiver. ”Without the Liu family, you wouldn’t even have a place to stand in Jiangcheng!”

”The place I stand was earned by my own hard work; it has nothing to do with the Liu family.” Liu Ruyan’s tears stopped abruptly, but it felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from her heart.

”You... you are simply unreasonable!” Liu Zhengguo’s voice trembled with rage. ”Let me tell you, Liu Ruyan, if Mingxuan is actually sentenced, I will go to your company and cause a scene, I’ll go to where you live and cause a scene, and I’ll let everyone know you’re an ingrate who doesn’t even care about her own brother!”

”Go ahead and try.” Liu Ruyan took a deep breath, her voice filled with nothing but determination. ”I will send the evidence of you kidnapping me and forcing me into a substitute marriage to the media right now, and let everyone see how the Liu family treats their own daughter. If you want to go down together, I’ll play along to the end.”

With that, she hung up the phone directly, threw it onto the sofa, and her body couldn’t stop trembling.

Zhou Yurou had just come out of the bedroom, and seeing her like this, she hurried over to hug her. ”It’s okay, it’s okay now. Don’t lower yourself to his level.”

Zhang Fan also walked over from the kitchen holding warm water and handed it to her. ”Don’t be angry, it’s not worth it. If he really dares to come to the company and cause a scene, Old Gu and I will handle it; we will absolutely not let him affect you.”

Liu Ruyan held the warm water cup, looking at these two people in front of her who genuinely cared for her. Tears fell again, but this time they were not from grievance, but from being moved.

She leaned on Zhou Yurou’s shoulder, her voice choked with sobs. ”Sister Zhou, Zhang Fan, thank you... If it weren’t for you, I really wouldn’t know what to do.”

”Silly girl, why are you being so polite with us?” Zhou Yurou gently patted her back. ”We are family.”

Zhang Fan nodded from the side, his eyes firm. ”That’s right, family. No matter what tricks the Liu family plays, we will help you shoulder it. If you want to sign the severance agreement, we will go with you; if you don’t want to sign, we will help you wear them down to the end. In short, we won’t let you suffer any more grievances.”

Liu Ruyan looked into Zhang Fan’s eyes, which were full of sincerity and reliability, and her heart suddenly warmed up. She knew that from this moment on, she was no longer alone.

Three days later, in a law firm in the city center, the three members of the Liu family sat on the sofa, each with a different expression.

Liu Zhengguo frowned, the ”Severance Agreement” in his hand crumpled.

Zhao Lan kept wiping her tears with a handkerchief, muttering repeatedly, ”What a sin, how did such a good family fall apart?”

Liu Mengqi was wearing a white dress, her hair combed meticulously. She looked weak and pitiful, but her eyes hid a sense of triumph. As long as Liu Ruyan signed the papers, all the Liu family’s assets would belong to her and Liu Mingxuan.

Liu Ruyan walked in, with Zhang Fan and Zhou Yurou following behind her. The two stood on her left and right, like two solid barriers.

She walked to the conference table and placed the ”Letter of Understanding” on it, her voice calm but unquestionable. ”I’ve read the agreement, and there are no issues. But I want to sign the ’Severance Agreement’ first. Once you sign it, I will sign the Letter of Understanding.”

”Don’t go too far!” Liu Zhengguo stood up abruptly, his chair making a harsh screeching sound against the floor. ”If it weren’t for Mingxuan, I would never agree to such an absurd request!”

Liu Mengqi suddenly stood up and quickly walked to Liu Ruyan’s side, reaching out to take her hand, her voice as soft as cotton. ”Sister, I’m sorry. I was ignorant before and always gave you trouble, and even misunderstood that you stole things. Please forgive my brother; the family really can’t do without him. Even though we won’t be family anymore, I will still treat you as my sister. If you have any difficulties, tell me anytime, and I will definitely help you...”

”Don’t touch me.” Liu Ruyan yanked her hand back, her eyes as cold as ice. ”Liu Mengqi, you don’t need to play the victim. Back then, you threw my textbooks into the trash and framed me for stealing a necklace; I haven’t forgotten those things. You had a secret rendezvous with Fu Chengyu, causing the Liu family’s engagement with the Lin family to be broken off, and in the end, you wanted me to take your place in the marriage. I haven’t forgotten those things either.”

She took a folder from Zhang Fan and pulled out a printed sheet of paper, which was a photo of Liu Mengqi and Fu Chengyu kissing at the hotel entrance. ”I have many more photos like this, including videos of you eating from the same bowl of noodles at a noodle shop and hugging and kissing in the parking lot. If you keep acting like a ’green tea’, I don’t mind posting these online for everyone to see the true face of the Liu family’s ’eldest daughter’.”

Liu Mengqi’s face turned pale instantly, her hands trembling involuntarily. She took a step back, no longer able to maintain her weak appearance.

Liu Zhengguo looked at the photos, trembling with rage, but dared not say anything more. If these things got out, the Liu family would lose their last shred of dignity.

He picked up a pen and signed his name on the ”Severance Agreement,” his handwriting so scrawled it looked like he was venting his anger.

Zhao Lan signed the document while crying, her tears dripping onto the paper and blurring the two characters ”Zhao Lan”.

Liu Ruyan picked up the pen, her fingertips trembling slightly.

Zhang Fan said softly beside her, ”Don’t be nervous. Once you sign, all those past grievances and sorrows will have nothing to do with you anymore. In the future, Sister Zhou and I will work with you on ’stardust leap’, and watch the starry sky scenes you designed go live together. Your future will only get better and better.”

Liu Ruyan looked up at Zhang Fan, then at Zhou Yurou. The encouragement in their eyes was like a beam of light, dispelling her last trace of hesitation.

She lowered her head and signed the three characters ”Liu Ruyan” on the agreement. The moment the pen tip crossed the paper, the coldness of those years in the storage room, the grievances of being framed, and the loneliness of being abandoned seemed to be left on this paper forever, along with the handwriting.

After signing, Liu Ruyan pushed the agreement to Liu Zhengguo, then picked up the ”Letter of Understanding” and quickly signed her name.

Just as she put down the pen, her tears suddenly burst forth. She crouched on the ground and started to cry—not out of sadness, but out of relief, for finally escaping that ”home” that had been suffocating her.

Zhou Yurou crouched down, gently patting her back, and draped a jacket that still held his body heat over her. ”Cry, it’ll be better once you let it all out.”

Liu Ruyan leaned on her shoulder and cried even harder, yet she felt an unprecedented lightness in her heart.

She knew that from this moment on, she was no longer the ”jinx” that the Liu family despised and bullied.

She had the support of Zhang Fan and Zhou Yurou, she had a home in Singularity Technology, and she had a future of her own, full of hope.

The three members of the Liu family watched this scene, their faces looking extremely ugly, but they could only take the agreement and the Letter of Understanding and leave in a sorry state.

When they reached the door of the law firm, Liu Zhengguo looked back, his eyes full of resentment, but he didn’t dare to say another word. He knew that the current Liu Ruyan, protected by Zhang Fan and Zhou Yurou, was no longer the little girl he could manipulate at will.

Back in the law firm, Liu Ruyan slowly stopped crying, wiped away her tears, and looked up at Zhang Fan and Zhou Yurou. Her voice was hoarse from crying, but it carried an unprecedented firmness. ”Thank you. From now on, I will work hard, live well, and never let you worry about me again.”

Zhou Yurou smiled and ruffled her hair. ”We believe in you.” Zhang Fan handed her a cup of warm water, his fingertips lightly touching the top of her head. ”Let’s go, let’s go eat some cream strawberries to celebrate you starting a new life.”

Sunlight shone in through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the law firm, falling on the three of them as if they were coated in a layer of warm light. Liu Ruyan looked at the two people beside her, and suddenly felt incredibly certain—these were her true family members, her most solid support in the life ahead.
