My Alleged Husband-Chapter 911 - 831 Memories_2

"Zhang Zhentian, is what she said true? Is it?"

"Xia Jing, calm down. Yes, I admit, she is indeed the blind date my dad arranged for me. She just returned from studying in the United States, and yes, she is also the heiress of the Li Corporation."

...

Zhang Zhentian recounted the entire story of how his father arranged the blind date for him. Xia Jing’s expression grew darker and darker, yet Zhang Zhentian kept talking.

"Hah, Zhentian, why didn’t you say the real reason your dad wants me to marry you? Are you afraid it’ll end up on the entertainment headlines? Or maybe you don’t want to admit your father is that kind of man? Or do you simply not know his purpose?" Li Jiayuan, her makeup smudged from crying, suddenly stopped her sobbing. Raising her delicate, palm-sized face, she stared at Zhang Zhentian and Xia Jing.

"Shut up! Who gave you permission to call me Zhentian?" Zhang Zhentian snapped at Li Jiayuan, thinking that by doing so, Xia Jing would drop the topic. But he never could have imagined things would turn out this way.

Xia Jing asked Zhang Zhentian, "Zhentian, tell me, what is your father’s purpose for this marriage alliance? And do you know what his purpose is?"

Oh no, what now? Although I know my dad wants me to marry Li Jiayuan for the sake of company interests, how am I supposed to explain this?

"So, you’re Xia Jing?" Li Jiayuan glanced at Zhang Zhentian before turning to ask Xia Jing.

"Yes, I am Xia Jing."

So she really is Xia Jing. She looks quite sweet; I can’t understand why she chose to become a mercenary. If she weren’t a mercenary, perhaps Uncle would’ve approved of them being together! Sigh. "You want to know why his dad wants me to marry him, right? Well, I’ll tell you now. How about that?"

What’s wrong with this woman? If I do want to know, so what? In any case, Zhentian will never like her.

"Go ahead." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"First, he doesn’t want his son, whom he painstakingly raised, to end up with a mercenary. Second, he doesn’t want the mother of his future grandchildren to be a mercenary despised by everyone. Third, he doesn’t want the name of the Zhang Corporation to be ruined because of a mercenary like you. Fourth, and most importantly, he wants the Li Corporation to help the Zhang Corporation flourish!" Li Jiayuan burst into laughter after finishing her speech. "Zhang Zhentian knows his father’s intentions too. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him."

Xia Jing, hearing Li Jiayuan’s explanation, looked at Zhang Zhentian. "Is everything she said true? Did you know about your father’s intentions? Did you?"

"Yes, I know my father’s intentions behind the matchmaking. Everything she said is true."

"Alright, fine. Zhang Zhentian, listen to me carefully. Since your father values her so much, values money, status, and benefits so much, why not just agree to it?" Xia Jing completely broke down after hearing Zhang Zhentian’s answer. She turned and ran out without looking back. Li Jiayuan’s words had plunged her relationship with Zhang Zhentian into irreparable misunderstanding.

"Ah! Why, why..." Xia Jing screamed as though she’d lost her mind.

"Xia Jing, wait for me, wait for me!"

Zhang Zhentian saw Xia Jing running out like a madwoman and immediately chased after her. The farther he chased, the farther away she ran. Yet he couldn’t see her figure anywhere, nor could he fathom where she might have gone. Zhang Zhentian was losing his mind with anxiety. At that instant, he realized what it felt like to lose someone you love. But he had no idea where to begin searching for her.

After fleeing from Zhang Zhentian, Xia Jing returned to the secret base of her mercenary group. She was preparing for a counterattack. She wanted Li Jiayuan’s reputation to be utterly destroyed. She wanted Li Jiayuan dead, wiped off the face of the earth, gone forever from her sight. Returning to base, Xia Jing began rallying her mercenary team to deliver Li Jiayuan a fatal blow.

"Xiao Wei, come here. I need to talk to you."

Xiao Wei was a squad leader in the mercenary team and also Xia Jing’s trusted assistant. Having killed countless people, he treated Xia Jing like his own elder sister. No matter what Xia Jing needed, he would give his all without hesitation.

"Elder Sister Xia, what do you need me to do this time?" Xiao Wei noticed Xia Jing didn’t look well. "What happened? Elder Sister Xia?"

"It’s nothing major, but there’s one thing I need you to take care of."

"Elder Sister Xia, just say the word! No need to be polite with me. I’ll make sure it’s done!"

"Alright, Xiao Wei." Xia Jing looked at Xiao Wei. "By the way, Xiao Wei, do you know the heiress of the Li Corporation, Li Jiayuan?"
