My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1173 - 1028: The Unexpected Event (Part 2)

Li Jiayuan saw Old Master Zhang like this and already knew his purpose. She couldn’t help but despise him in her heart.

"Uncle, I’m not set on being with Zhang Zhentian. Yes, I admit that I do have feelings for your son. Honestly, between you and your son, I admire your son more. He lives boldly, willing to give up someone with advantages like me for the person he loves, which I cannot help but respect! However, Uncle, I am not adamant about marrying your son, so I think this matter can end here!"

Upon hearing this, Old Master Zhang knew Li Jiayuan truly didn’t want his son anymore, and he could only curse his son a thousand times in his heart.

"Uncle, tell me your purpose!" Li Jiayuan looked at the old man before her with a sardonic smile. For the sake of his company’s future, he wouldn’t hesitate to sacrifice his son’s happiness in exchange. Despite his kind appearance, she didn’t expect such motives.

"Jiayuan, Uncle has no other intentions. I just don’t want my son to go the wrong way."

Li Jiayuan froze upon hearing this. What does ’going the wrong way’ mean? Could it be that I misunderstood something?

"Uncle, what do you mean by that? Can you explain?"

"Jiayuan, Uncle told you, but you mustn’t let Zhentian know. Can you help Uncle, is that alright?"

"Uncle, speak first, then I’ll see if I can help or whether I will help."

Old Master Zhang thought so too; he couldn’t let her help without saying anything. "Jiayuan, Zhentian has fallen for a woman from a mercenary background... You know, such things cannot happen in elite families. Alas." Old Master Zhang recounted the story of Zhang Zhentian and Xia Jing to Li Jiayuan, who also felt heartache.

"Uncle, regarding this matter, let me think about it. I can’t quickly answer whether I can help you, so please give me some time to consider!"

Old Master Zhang beamed with pleasure and then took his leave from Li Jiayuan.

Zhang Zhentian went to find Xia Jing after being driven out by the old man. He finally found Xia Jing in the Mercenary Group where she worked, grabbed her hand, and left.

"Why are you avoiding me, and whose car were you in that day?" Zhang Zhentian shouted at Xia Jing.

"I came out that day, and you didn’t come to find me. Why did you finally come to see me today?"

"I’m asking you, do you genuinely want to be with me?"

"Yes, I truly want to be with you, but your dad disagrees. He even says I’m with you for your family’s money!"

"Since you genuinely want to be with me, then come with me now."

"Then let’s have a drink first, let’s go."

Zhang Zhentian and Xia Jing went to a bar to drink together. Because he was happy, Zhang Zhentian drank a lot, while Xia Jing drank less. As Zhang Zhentian slowly began to lose consciousness, Xia Jing said she was going to the bathroom. After letting Xia Jing go to the bathroom, Zhang Zhentian was helped into a room by another woman, mistakenly thinking she was Xia Jing due to the alcohol. He then took advantage of the woman, who turned out to be his previous date, Li Jiayuan.

"Our corporation once faced many blows and criticisms. No one ever gave up on the fate they had accepted until now, not even considering why they previously endured such harm. We always assumed someone thought they were lucky to escape everything, avoiding all harm and blows. But is that really what we wanted most? In the end, we realized all of it was so tragic. Gradually, because the company had a huge financial gap, we have had no way, no method to avoid seeing the empire painstakingly built with hard work collapse. It was at that moment that your mother exhausted all her assets to save our company; thus, your grandfather agreed to let her be with me. Do you know? At that moment, I was so moved. I never expected a woman would go this far for me. I never imagined that what I had gotten was such a flawless wife."

Due to a massive financial gap, the Zhang Corporation was on the verge of bankruptcy and closure. Even the usually calm and composed Old Master Zhang felt deeply pressured. Old Master Zhang couldn’t believe that those who invested in the company for so many years were actually partners of his rivals in the marketplace, and their investments were instructed by others. This made Zhang Mo’s heart difficult to accept. Initially, he thought the project would go smoothly, that he could use Li Jiayuan to secure the Nanxi Project contract. But who would have thought, not only did they fail to secure the Nanxi Project contract, but it also angered the investors, causing the two who invested the most to withdraw their investments, directly plunging the company into an unprecedented crisis. How should they weather this storm now?
