Zhang Zhentian gradually sobered up, feeling that something was amiss, so he slowly turned his head to glance at the side of his bed, and what he saw left him utterly shocked.
"Oh my God, [shock/shock] isn't that Li Jiayuan? How come she's sleeping next to me?"
Just as Zhang Zhentian finished complaining to himself, Li Jiayuan next to him slowly woke up.
"Ahh! You bastard, what did you do to me?" Li Jiayuan screamed.
Zhang Zhentian panicked, originally thinking that Li Jiayuan wouldn't scream, but she did, and what if Xia Jing found out, how could she scream like this? What was he supposed to do...
After thinking for a while, Zhang Zhentian felt he had no other choice but to negotiate with Li Jiayuan, but she was the heiress of Li Corporation, and wasn't short of money, so what the heck should he do!
"Miss Jiayuan, stop crying, instead of crying here, you might as well discuss a solution with me, don't you agree?" Zhang Zhentian timidly brought up negotiating with Li Jiayuan, but she wasn't so easy to deal with.
Li Jiayuan cried louder, as if afraid that others wouldn't hear her, "Zhang Zhentian, you dickhead, when your dad came to ask me to meet you for a blind date, you disagreed, and now what? It's pretty disgraceful that back then you spoke so righteously, acting as if you disagreed outwardly, but inwardly it's not the same, huh? Truly a hypocrite through and through!" Jiayuan said with a sobbing tone, looking quite aggrieved, and occasional glances at Zhang Zhentian to see his reaction.
"Enough already, shouldn't we be discussing how to resolve this matter?" Zhang Zhentian became angry after hearing Li Jiayuan's crying, "Really now, I'm afraid of Xia Jing finding out, and here you are sobbing shamelessly," he snapped.
"You asshole, psychopath, drop dead!"
"Do you want to resolve this or not, if not let's just forget it."
"Of course I do, how could you even think of leaving?"
"Alright, alright, tell me, how do we solve this?"
After pondering for a moment, Li Jiayuan finally spoke, "Since you're asking for my opinion, it wouldn't be right not to hold you accountable. So, why don't you marry me?" Li Jiayuan looked at Zhang Zhentian with a mischievous grin.
Damn it, this Li Jiayuan is pretty crafty, daring me to marry her, I'll show her.
"Li Jiayuan, are you really the heiress of Li Corporation? You seem just like a common street ruffian, shameless!"
"Oh wow, you really have the nerve to say that. If you don't want to take responsibility just say it. If you think we can't resolve this, there's still your dad, not to mention I could go to that Xia Jing you mentioned, I could let her know and have her decide, right?"
"You... dare, if you go tell Xia Jing about this, I'll never let it go." God damn it, this shameless woman, actually daring, humph!
Bang!
Zhang Zhentian and Li Jiayuan were startled, who was that just now? Could it be Xia Jing?
"Who's there? Who's that?" Zhang Zhentian, hearing the noise, immediately ran to the door to check, and he was truly taken aback by what he saw—wasn't that Xia Jing?
"Xia Jing, what are you doing here?" Zhang Zhentian reached out to grab Xia Jing's hand, but he never expected that Xia Jing could be so formidable when angry.
"Jerk, don't touch me, I was just going to the bathroom and you actually..." Xia Jing shook off his hand fiercely and slapped him across the face.
"Xia Jing, listen to my explanation, it's not what you think, listen to me please!"
"It's not what I thought, I heard everything, I heard all the conversations between that woman and you..."
"Who are you? Why are you with my people?" Xia Jing pointed at Li Jiayuan and asked.
"Me? Mind your own business."
"Zhang Zhentian, you tell me, who is this woman? What is your relationship with her? Speak, say something, tell me!" Xia Jing was now like a madwoman, beating Zhang Zhentian with her hands and screaming with a heart-wrenching voice.
Seeing the two of them like this, Li Jiayuan couldn't help but stir the pot further.
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you who I am. I am the match made for Zhentian by his father, and at the same time, I am also the heiress to Li Corporation, recently returned from studies in the United States. How about that? His father doesn't like you, a woman with a mercenary background, to be his daughter-in-law. What can you do about it? Can you compare with me?"
"Zhang Zhentian, is what she says true? Is it?"
"Xia Jing, calm down. Yes, I admit, she is the match my father found for me, she has indeed returned from studying in the United States, and she is also the heiress to Li Corporation!"
...
Zhang Zhentian recounted the process of how his father found him a match for marriage, and Xia Jing's complexion grew uglier by the moment, but Zhang Zhentian kept talking.
"Oh, Zhentian, why didn't you mention the purpose your father had in mind for making me marry you? Are you afraid that it will make entertainment headlines? Or do you not want to admit your father is that kind of person, or maybe you don't even know his purpose?" At this point, Li Jiayuan had stopped crying, her makeup smeared by tears, she lifted her palm-sized face and looked at Zhang Zhentian and Xia Jing.
"Shut up, who agreed to let you call me Zhentian?" Zhang Zhentian yelled at Li Jiayuan, thinking that by doing so, Xia Jing would naturally drop the subject, but he never expected it would turn out this way.
Xia Jing asked Zhang Zhentian, "Zhentian, tell me, what is your father's purpose in arranging this marriage, and do you know what his purpose is?"
This is bad, what should I do now, although I know my dad wants me to marry Li Jiayuan for the company's benefit, how should I explain that?
"You're Xia Jing, right?" Li Jiayuan looked at Zhang Zhentian and then asked Xia Jing.
"Yes, I am Xia Jing."
So it really is Xia Jing, she looks quite cute. I can't understand why she would choose to be a mercenary. If she weren't a mercenary, maybe uncle would have agreed to let them be together! Alas! "You want to know the purpose of my marriage with him arranged by his father, don't you? I'm willing to tell you now, how about that?"
This woman must be crazy, even if I want to know, what can I do about it? Anyway, Zhentian won't like her.
"Go ahead."
"First, he doesn't want his son, who he has raised with so much effort, to be with a mercenary; second, he doesn't want the mother of his future grandchildren to be a mercenary that everyone despises; third, he doesn't want the reputation of Zhang Corporation to be ruined because of a mercenary; and fourth, which is the most important point, he hopes that Li Corporation can lend a helping hand to Zhang Corporation!" After Li Jiayuan finished speaking, she burst out laughing. "Zhang Zhentian also knows his father's purpose, if you don't believe me, you can ask him."
After hearing Li Jiayuan's statement of the purpose, Xia Jing looked at Zhang Zhentian, "Is everything she said true? You know about your father's purpose?"
"Yes, I know the purpose of the arranged marriage my father arranged, and what she said is all true."
"Good, very good, Zhang Zhentian, listen to me. Since your father wants you to be with her so much, values money, fame, and profit so much, then why haven't you agreed to it?" After hearing Zhang Zhentian's response, Xia Jing collapsed and then turned and ran out without looking back, all because of Li Jiayuan's words, which caused a huge misunderstanding between her and Zhang Zhentian.
