My Alleged Husband

Chapter 314 - 294: Ungrateful Wolf_1

Old Master Zhang had begun to speak without filtering his words now. He could not tolerate anyone bullying his grandson. Anyone could come to him with troubles, but his grandson was off-limits to mistreatment. Reflecting on Ran Zhihan’s previous act of being weak and gentle, it now seemed like a performance. How could her acting be so convincing? Not only had she fooled him, but she also deceived so many others.

"Grandpa, didn’t you just see that he was the one who spoke offensively first? I’m also human. Why should I have to take his random insults? He even said he could do without me. Then on what grounds does he speak of me like this?"

The people present burst into laughter upon hearing Ran Zhihan’s words. What did she mean by Zhang Yichen not wanting her? It was clearly she who didn’t want others. Why push all the blame onto someone else, and why cling to such a woman to one’s detriment?

Lei Jian addressed Ran Zhihan, "I always treated you like my own sister, caring for you in every possible way. But today, your behavior has utterly disappointed me. It’s you who doesn’t wish to live with my good buddy. Then why say it’s he who doesn’t want you? Do you expect everyone to pay for your mistakes? Now I finally realize a woman like you really isn’t suitable for my good brother because you will only hold him back. We bent over backwards to please and take care of you during your years studying in the United States. Yet, in the end, you turned out to be an ingrate. With women like you in the world, it’s truly a rare sight. Maybe we misjudged you before. The kindness and understanding you showed us was not genuine but just an act. From today on, I no longer have a sister like you. You make me feel so sick, I want to vomit. Do you know what that feels like?"

Even though Lei Jian was very fond of Ran Zhihan, he still couldn’t accept his good brother being slapped by a woman.

...

In an instant, everyone present turned against Ran Zhihan, disapproving of her actions and feeling disappointed with her.

"So this is how you all see me now? I gave up so much to be with him in the beginning. I could even disregard the lives of my own parents. And what do I get in return? Your collective assault?"

"Why are you so shameless, woman? What do you mean you gave up the lives of your parents to be with my son? Have you forgotten how you treated my son for the sake of your parents? How many times did you initiate a breakup? How did you expect my son to cope with that? Now that my father has paid for your studies abroad, do you come back and look down on my son? Let me tell you, he has a significant place in the global economy. With just one command from him, not a single person in the world would dare to offer you a job. If that happens, you will just starve to death. You’re not only a burden to yourself but also to your parents. Didn’t you always want to live a happy life with your parents? Rest assured, we will make sure that happens for you!"

"I’m asking you one last time. Have you really thought this through? Are you going to marry me or not? If you don’t marry me, then don’t come begging to me later. Don’t have regrets..."

Zhang Yichen still hoped to give Ran Zhihan one last chance, wishing that this time she would not disappoint him.

"Funny, have I ever regretted a decision I’ve made? Since I dared to speak so bluntly today, I won’t be afraid, and even less so, I won’t regret it in the future!" Ran Zhihan stated resolutely.

"Fine, since you’ve said that, I’ll grant your wish..." Zhang Yichen said and then made a phone call to his secretary.

"Xiao Cheng, I need you to take care of something. Immediately issue a statement, publicly announcing to the whole world: From today onwards, if anyone, including the family of Ran Zhihan, seeks employment elsewhere, and if any place hires them or extends a helping hand, then they’d be prepared to be devoured by me!"

"Understood, President, I’ll get right on it!"

Xiao Cheng was someone Zhang Yichen met while discussing a partnership on a trip outside; he was a tall and thin person who seemed kindhearted, and at that time, he was extremely nervous and visibly scared, prompting Yichen to bring him back. Unexpectedly, the person he casually saved turned out to be so helpful in dealing with so much responsibility and was utterly loyal to him. Zhang Yichen was truly satisfied.

"Yichen, you shouldn’t be too ruthless; at least leave them a way to survive!"

"Grandfather, you weren’t deaf to what she just said. Why should I leave a way out for her? Does such a person deserve my mercy? Since she claimed she wouldn’t regret her actions, why should I spare her? I ought to let her truly experience what darkness in this world is, what high society is. This woman is audaciously reckless, actually thinking that after returning from her studies in the United States, she became a genuine member of the upper class. But in reality, she can only ever be trampled underfoot by me, unable to turn over a new leaf. This game is really entertaining. I will make her experience thoroughly what it means to desire life yet be denied, to wish for death but be unable to achieve it. I won’t target her parents because, after all, they are genuinely honest people. Sometimes I do feel guilty when I think about how her parents repeatedly suffer because of our issues. But now I won’t think that way; I only feel that all the suffering her parents endure, all the sins, are because they raised such a ’good’ daughter..."

"My parents have no grievances with you; by what right do you speak of my parents like that? You have time to meddle in my affairs, why don’t you take care of your own parents? If not for them, why would my parents suffer so much, and how could we possibly have come to this point today? Everything has happened under your parents’ name; why should it all be blamed on me?"

"Do you think I’m like your mother, pushing all faults onto others? I’m telling you, this matter won’t end so easily. I will definitely cut off all economic sources for your family, causing you to starve to death in sheer misery. This is the consequence of not being willing to be with me. Do you think I’m that casual a man, that if you want to be with me, I’d just agree, and if not, then we’re through just like that? I’ve spent fortunes for you, but how have you treated me? You just dump me whenever you feel like it. What do you take me for? Now that you’ve made such a decision, there’s nothing more to say. It turns out that the girlfriend I had was an ungrateful jerk. Someone like you, an ungrateful wife, is beyond my reach. We don’t need to keep in touch anymore. Just go ahead and live with your so-called noble character and your parents. Remember, no matter what, don’t even think about coming to beg me because the day you come to beg me in person will be the moment I seek my deepest revenge on you, ungrateful jerk..."
