My Alleged Husband

Chapter 910: Chapter 831: Memories

”Dad, tell us about your past, back when you hadn’t left home yet!”

”Alright, sure!”

At that time, I had drunk way too much and was slowly sobering up. I suddenly felt like something was off, so I cautiously turned around to glance at the side of my bed. And just one look—I was utterly stunned.

”Oh my god! [Horrified/Horrified] Isn’t that Li Jiayuan? Why is she sleeping next to me?”

Zhang Zhentian had just finished cursing inwardly when Li Jiayuan, lying beside him, started to stir awake.

”Ah! You bastard! What did you do to me?” Li Jiayuan shrieked.

Zhang Zhentian panicked. He assumed Li Jiayuan wouldn’t make a big deal of this, but to his surprise, she screamed right away. If Xia Jing found out about this, what would he do? How could she yell this out loud? What now...

Zhang Zhentian thought about it for a bit and realized he had no choice but to negotiate with Li Jiayuan. But she’s the heiress of the Li Corporation, a woman who wants for nothing. How on earth was he supposed to resolve this?

”Miss Jiayuan, stop crying. Instead of crying here, why don’t we figure out a solution to deal with this? Don’t you agree?” Zhang Zhentian tentatively suggested, trying to negotiate with Li Jiayuan. But dealing with Li Jiayuan was no simple matter.

Li Jiayuan cried even more loudly, as if making sure the whole world could hear her. ”Zhang Zhentian, you bastard! When your dad came looking for me to set you up for a matchmaking date, he asked if you agreed, and you said no. And now this? You had the audacity to act all righteous back then, but deep down, you weren’t thinking that at all, were you? You really are a complete hypocrite!” Li Jiayuan exclaimed tearfully, her voice full of grievance, occasionally glancing at Zhang Zhentian to see his reaction.

”Alright, enough! Shouldn’t we be discussing how to solve this issue right now?” After listening to her crying, Zhang Zhentian lost his temper. ”Seriously, I’m petrified of Xia Jing finding out about this, and here you are bawling your eyes out—what sheer nerve!”

”You bastard! You lunatic! Go to hell!”

”Are you going to deal with this or not? If not, forget it.”

”Of course I’m going to deal with it! What, do you plan on just walking away?”

”Fine, fine, fine. You tell me—how do we resolve this?”

Li Jiayuan thought deeply for a moment and then spoke. ”Since you’re asking for my opinion, it wouldn’t be right if I didn’t make you take responsibility. Why don’t you marry me?” Li Jiayuan said with a sly smile as she stared at Zhang Zhentian.

Oh, damn. This Li Jiayuan’s got some nerve, doesn’t she? Asking me to marry her? Let’s see if I don’t teach her a lesson.

”Li Jiayuan, are you really the heiress of the Li Corporation? Why do you act like some lowlife hooligan? You really have no shame!”

”Oh, cool story, bro! Spit it out—if you don’t want to take responsibility, just say it. Let me tell you, if you can’t resolve this, there’s always your dad, or better yet, I could approach your precious Xia Jing and let her decide. How about that?”

”You... you wouldn’t dare. If you dared tell Xia Jing about this, I swear I won’t let this slide!” Damn it, this shameless woman. She really would do it. Hmph!

Bam!

Both Zhang Zhentian and Li Jiayuan jolted in surprise. Who was that? Could it be Xia Jing?

”Who?! Who’s there?” Alarmed by the sound, Zhang Zhentian immediately rushed to the door to check. The sight shocked him to his core—it was Xia Jing!

”Xia Jing, why are you here?” Zhang Zhentian reached out to grab Xia Jing’s hand, but never in his wildest dreams did he expect her wrath to be so terrifying.

”You scum! Don’t touch me! I only went to the bathroom, yet you...” Xia Jing flung Zhang Zhentian’s hand aside with force, then slapped him hard across the face.

”Xia Jing, listen to me, let me explain. Things aren’t what you think they are—please, just hear me out!”

”Not what I think? I overheard everything. I heard every single damn word of your conversation with that woman...”

”Who are you? Why are you with my boyfriend?” Xia Jing demanded, pointing at Li Jiayuan.

”Who, me? None of your business who I am.”

”Zhang Zhentian, tell me—who is this woman? What’s your relationship? Speak up! Tell me! Say something—you better tell me, now!” Xia Jing was hysterical, pounding her fists on Zhang Zhentian as she screamed her heart out.

Li Jiayuan, seeing the two of them in such chaos, couldn’t resist stirring up trouble.

”Alright, alright! Let me tell you who I am. I’m Zhang Zhentian’s arranged matchmaking partner, hand-picked by his dad. I’m also the heiress of the Li Corporation, freshly back from studying in the United States. So what now? His dad doesn’t want a woman with a mercenary background like you to be his daughter-in-law. What can you do about it? Can you even compete with me?”
