In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 1 - I Choose Xie Yanchuan
Chapter 1: Chapter 1 I Choose Xie Yanchuan
"Don't cry, I have no regrets in this life," Xu Jinzhi said from her hospital bed, her voice weak.
But even at this time, Xu Jinzhi's face did not show any dishevelment, and one could even see from her features how beautiful she must have been in her youth.
"Mom, may your journey be peaceful," the man at the bedside said, his eyes bloodshot and his voice trembling nonstop.
It wasn't just him; men and women, old and young by the bedside all had red eyes, trying hard to suppress their sobbing.
Xu Jinzhi slightly lifted the corners of her mouth. Living up to now, she seemed to have no regrets, nothing she felt resentful about.
If there was anything to regret...
Xu Jinzhi couldn't help but think of her short-lived husband.
When she was young, it didn't seem like she loved Xie Yanchuan much, after all, theirs was a marriage for business alliances, and she had chosen him only as a last resort.
Over the years, she would occasionally think of Xie Yanchuan when he was still alive.
He would bring her meals when she was too busy working to eat, take care of her when she was sick and feeling terrible, and stand up for her when she was threatened.
In every aspect, Xie Yanchuan was a qualified husband, a qualified father!
Only, his luck was not good, and he left early after an accident.
Now at this last moment of life in this world, Xu Jinzhi felt not a bit of fear; she thought that now, going down, she didn't know if she would have the chance to see Xie Yanchuan again.
If there were a chance, the two should catch up...
If there were another opportunity, she should have been nicer to Xie Yanchuan...
Thinking so, Xu Jinzhi couldn't help but smile, and as she slightly lifted the corners of her lips, she felt very sleepy and her eyes involuntarily closed.
The sound of crying suddenly rose around her, with talking and sobbing mixing together, which at first seemed noisy, but gradually, she couldn't hear anything.

"This project will be a win-win situation for us in the end!"
"That's true, but in the end, it's your Xie Family who benefits more from this project. How can I ensure our Xu Family's interests?"
Xu Jinzhi's head buzzed, and the voices seemed distant and then near. She felt a little dazed. Why did this voice sound familiar?
But then, Xu Jinzhi felt her mind go blank, as if it had been suddenly formatted, and there was nothing left in her head. She felt weightless.

Almost subconsciously, she reached out to grab something stable nearby. As her consciousness gradually returned, everything before Xu Jinzhi's eyes became clearer and clearer.
But the clearer it became, the more bewildered Xu Jinzhi was. It seemed she saw her father-in-law and Assistant Chang, who had worked alongside Xie Suian for many years.
Xu Jinzhi couldn't help frowning, her mind filled with all sorts of doubts. Had she arrived at the underworld?
In the midst of Xu Jinzhi's confusion, someone suddenly took her by the arm. Xu Jinzhi turned her head instinctively and saw her father Xu Zhen beside her.
"Jinzhi, what do you think about the marriage alliance with Xie Linchuan?" Xu Zhen asked his daughter earnestly.
Xie Linchuan was indeed a very good candidate, but actually, Xu Zhen had other thoughts deep down.
After all, Xu Zhen had only one daughter, Xu Jinzhi, and if possible, he hoped that his daughter could find a man to marry into their family and bear a child with the Xu surname!
Anyway, everything of the Xu Family was going to belong to Jinzhi in the future.
But Xu Zhen was worried that his daughter might find a "Phoenix Man" who, if not incompetent, would be like inviting a wolf into the house, which would really be a disaster!
Now that the Xie Family had the idea of an arranged marriage, and having met Xie Linchuan and understood a bit about him, Xu Zhen thought that it would be a good match if Jinzhi were to marry Xie Linchuan, a marriage of equals and a union of talent and beauty!
Xu Zhen was very torn.
But in the end, the one who could make the decision was not Xu Zhen, so he looked towards Xu Jinzhi.
However, for some reason, his daughter seemed a bit strange at the moment, and her complexion didn't look good. Xu Zhen slightly frowned and asked, "Jinzhi, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"
Xu Jinzhi looked at her father next to her with a complicated expression. She opened her mouth, and with some doubt asked, "What, what did you just say?"
Xu Zhen repeated, "The marriage alliance with the Xie Family, do you think Xie Linchuan is suitable?"
In an instant, many scenes flashed through Xu Jinzhi's mind like a film rewinding!
Xie Linchuan, Xie Yanchuan...
The Xie Family, arranged marriage...
Xie Linchuan had someone he liked and unexpectedly trended online, causing her to lose face, and the Xu Family to lose face as well...
She had no choice but to pick another arranged marriage partner from the Xie Family...
And the scene in front of her was exactly what she had experienced. It was in these negotiations that she had agreed to the arranged marriage with Xie Linchuan!
What about Xie Yanchuan then?
Memories about Xie Yanchuan flashed in her mind again, and Xu Jinzhi's expression froze. Without even time to think, she blurted out, "I choose Xie Yanchuan!"
The conference room fell into dead silence, from Xu Zhen to Xie Suian and to Assistant Chang, all of them looking at Xu Jinzhi with astonished eyes, as if they didn't understand how Xie Yanchuan got involved!
Xu Jinzhi's heart was pounding quickly, and she didn't know what was going on, but she tried to appear calm as she looked at her father and father-in-law.
Then she said with a very firm tone, "I can agree to the arranged marriage, but I want to be married to Xie Yanchuan."
"What are you talking about?" Xu Zhen came back to his senses and asked Xu Jinzhi in a low voice, through gritted teeth.
Yet Xu Jinzhi still wore that cold demeanor, repeating, "I can agree to an arranged marriage, but I choose Xie Yanchuan."
It was then that Xie Suian finally caught on. He was very surprised in his heart, but remained calm on the surface. Xie Suian asked, "Jinzhi, you don't think Linchuan is suitable?"
Xu Jinzhi snorted coldly, her face full of scorn, and for a time, the atmosphere in the conference room grew awkward because of Xu Jinzhi's response.
Yet Xu Jinzhi didn't care at all. She scoffed, "Mr. Xie already has a girlfriend, I, Xu Jinzhi, am not desperate enough to be someone's mistress."
Xu Jinzhi didn't feel guilty at all about bringing out Xie Linchuan's secret love at this time.
After all, Xie Linchuan was still involved with that woman even after their engagement. It was bad enough that he shamelessly allowed himself to be disgraced, but he was also dragging her and the Xu Family down with him!
Xie Suian's expression turned completely dark, not because he was angry with Xu Jinzhi, but because of Xu Jinzhi's words, "Mr. Xie already has a girlfriend"!
Xu Zhen was also not pleased. He glared at Xie Suian, raised his voice, and angrily exclaimed, "What the hell, Xie Suian, are you even human?"
