My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1172 - 1028: The Unexpected

"Actually, you never expected that your father could be so stubborn, did you? You’ve never heard him say what he did to your aunt, have you? In that moment, your aunt felt so embarrassed. She never thought the man in front of her would be so relentless with his words, leaving her at a loss for words. His expression was beyond description, but your father was there, gloating. He thought this was exactly the effect it should have. He would spare no effort to bring his wife back to his side!"

Li Jiayuan originally thought Zhang Zhentian would be polite to her, but unexpectedly he was so blunt. Looking at Zhang Zhentian’s attitude, he didn’t seem to want to be with her. Then why did his father arrange for her to meet Zhang Zhentian for an arranged date? Why is that? Is there another reason?

Old Master Zhang waved his hand in front of the zoned-out Li Jiayuan, calling out to her when she didn’t respond.

"Oh, Uncle, you’re calling me? I’m so sorry, I spaced out just now!" Li Jiayuan snapped back to reality and noticed Old Master Zhang looking at her eagerly.

"Jiayuan, what were you thinking about being so absent-minded? I’ve called you several times and you didn’t respond." Old Master Zhang looked at Li Jiayuan curiously.

"Uncle, I wasn’t thinking about anything. I just got lost in thought looking at your son!"

"Hahaha [happy happy] Jiayuan, then let Uncle ask you a question, and you must answer truthfully, okay?"

"Alright, Uncle, go ahead."

"Jiayuan, do you like our Zhentian?" Old Master Zhang looked at Jiayuan expectantly.

Zhang Zhentian was taken aback by the question and stood up abruptly. "Dad, what are you talking about? You know I already have someone I like. I’ve told you more than once that I want to be with the woman I love. How can you make decisions for me and arrange a date without my consent?"

Li Jiayuan felt furious hearing Zhang Zhentian’s words. So, the old man arranged this date for her with his son, and the son was unaware? What kind of play is this?

"Uncle, what does Zhentian mean by this? Did you arrange for me to meet him for a date without Zhentian knowing?"

The old man quickly spoke up on behalf of his son, fearing that Li Jiayuan would no longer want him.

"Jiayuan, listen to Uncle. Zhentian is just not over that woman yet. Once you’re together, he’ll quickly forget her. Trust Uncle."

"Dad, haven’t you said enough? I’ve said I won’t give up on Xia Jing. Stop trying to set me up with someone else. I don’t need it. Having Xia Jing is enough. I’ve told you multiple times to let me be with Xia Jing, but you won’t agree. Now you’re tricking me into meeting someone else. How can you do this? Xia Jing wouldn’t be happy if she knew about this!"

Li Jiayuan’s face turned increasingly unpleasant after hearing Zhang Zhentian’s words. Old Master Zhang saw that Li Jiayuan was on the verge of losing her temper and knew the situation was beyond salvage. Seeing his disappointing son ruin the carefully orchestrated meeting, he was tempted to rush over and slap this disgrace of a child.

"You brat, shut your mouth!" Old Master Zhang was furious.

"Uncle, it seems your son isn’t interested in me. Let’s call off this engagement. I’m not without admirers. There are plenty of people pursuing me, so I don’t need your son. There’s no need to deliberately have me come out, only to have your son put on a show about how much he loves that woman. This is too insulting!" Li Jiayuan slammed the table in anger and stood up.

Li Jiayuan’s words seemed casual, but Old Master Zhang knew she was at her limit, so he could only vent his fury onto Zhang Zhentian.

"Get out, get out. I don’t have a son like you. Get out!" The old man was truly incensed. "How did I end up with such an unfilial son? Are you trying to drive me to my grave?"

Seeing this, Zhang Zhentian had nothing more to say. He turned, glared at Li Jiayuan, and slammed the door as he left.

"Jiayuan, don’t be angry. I’ll definitely talk to him properly later, okay?" Old Master Zhang was almost pleading with Li Jiayuan at this point.
