Chapter 22

This B*tch Is Really Capable

“Don’t say that. I was wrong. Zhang Meng, we can’t keep this child.” Xu Yuning’s words were like a bolt from the blue to Zhang Meng.

“This is my father’s request. Moreover, you can’t continue working in the corporation.” Hearing Xu Yuning’s words, Zhang Meng’s heart fell to the bottom. She did not expect things to change so much in such a short period of time.

It seemed like she had underestimated her enemy in the past. That b*tch Jiang Youyi was really capable.

Zhang Meng was a smart person. She knew that no matter what she did now, she could not change the outcome of aborting the child. If she insisted on making a fuss, she would make Xu Yuning unhappy. She might as well agree and make Xu Yuning feel guilty towards her.

She cried and grabbed Xu Yuning’s hand. “Yuning, I’ll listen to you.”

Seeing that she had agreed so readily, Xu Yuning felt a little guilty. “Don’t worry. I won’t let you suffer for nothing. I’ll give you a sum of money as compensation for you.”

Zhang Meng shook her head. “I don’t need compensation. It’s enough for you to care for me and treat me well during this period of time. It’s my blessing to have a child with you. I can’t let him descend into this world because I did something wrong. I have no complaints.”

“Don’t be like this… I’m sorry.”

“Yuning, you don’t have to feel guilty about me. I don’t want your money. But can you not leave me? I’m willing to accompany you without a status for the rest of my life. Whether you get married or have children in the future, I won’t affect your family. I just want to be with you. I can go out and find other jobs in the future. The money I earn is enough to support myself. But I don’t want to leave you.”

Seeing that Zhang Meng agreed to two conditions directly, Xu Yuning could not say anything too hurtful. “I’ll reconcile with Youyi. Don’t waste time on me.”

“It’s not a waste of time to be with you. I’m very happy. If the two of you reconcile, I promise that I won’t appear in front of Third Miss Jiang for the rest of my life and won’t cause you any trouble.” Zhang Meng was crying so hard that Xu Yuning couldn’t bear to look at her.

“Even if you agree, Youyi won’t agree to us meeting again.” Xu Yuning was still dreaming. He thought that if he married Jiang Youyi, she definitely wouldn’t allow another woman to be by his side.

“On your wedding day, I’ll go far away and not disturb your lives. Is that okay?”

Xu Yuning was a little surprised.

“But if the two of you don’t get together in the end, can you let me continue to be by your side, Yuning?” Zhang Meng pleaded.

Xu Yuning’s psychological defense was completely broken. “Alright, if Youyi is unwilling to marry me, you can stay. Although I can’t give you anything, at least you won’t have to worry about your livelihood.”

At this moment, Xu Yuning’s mind was filled with thoughts. If he could not marry Jiang Youyi, it did not matter who he was with in the future. At that time, even if there were other women, who could criticize him, let alone Zhang Meng?

Which rich person had never kept a few women outside? At the end of the day, Jiang Youyi’s moral bottom line was too high and she could not accept the unspoken rules between adults.

On the other hand, because of Lu Yunxiao’s Weibo post and Jiang Youyi’s bold comments, all the social media platforms were ignited. This matter became the biggest news in Ocean City in decades. Its limelight had already vaguely overshadowed the Xu Family’s annulment a few days ago. And because of the unpredictable relationship between the two of them, the shares of the two companies soared.

The Lu Family’s Qihe Corporation had securities, financial management, insurance, and more than 10 other private banks. Their shares had all soared. The Jiang Family was even more unexpected. Originally, they only had two department stores. Their shares, which had been stagnant over the years, had increased from 3.6 to 49, more than 10 times.

Many big shots in the stock market were dumbfounded. They only hated themselves for not paying attention to the Jiang Family’s stocks when they were at a low price.

Everyone in the Jiang Family was dumbfounded. What was going on?

“Youyi, come out for a while.” Jiang Youtian looked serious after contacting a few people. Jiang Youyi was terrified, thinking that Second Sister would definitely break her legs now.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Youtian sized her up and said to her, “Go change into a prettier gown and follow me somewhere.”

“I don’t have a gown.”

Jiang Youtian rolled her eyes helplessly. If she wasn’t her biological sister, she wouldn’t have bothered with this brat’s nonsense.

“I’ll lend you one of mine. You can wear it first.” Jiang Youtian returned to her bedroom and found a gown that was more suitable for Jiang Youyi. It was off-shoulder, black at the top, and white at the bottom. The top part had exquisite embroidery and bubble sleeves, and the skirt was filled with feminine creases.
