Chapter 258: Whose child is it?
Zhan Yanxun's eyes were bloodshot. He didn't understand why he had already reopened his wounds in front of her, that past he didn't want to talk about. To explain to her, he had torn open his wounds, but why was she still unmoved?
She was no longer the one who would stay up all night with him even if he only had a fever.
Jiang Qianhui said with a gloomy look in her eyes, "Why do you always try to shift the blame onto others? You still don't know where you went wrong, you're always making excuses."
Zhan Yanxun's eyes darkened, and his hand slowly tightened.
"Perhaps at the beginning, you only took care of Qiao Weiwei because of a request from an old friend, and made an exception to let her work at the Zhan Group."
But under the guise of repaying a debt of gratitude, you gradually became attracted to her. You felt she was special; she was incredibly talented in jewelry design, and you admired her. Regardless of the quality of her work, you felt it perfectly suited your taste. And no matter how hard I tried, I could never meet your expectations.
"Are my requirements for her the same as yours? You are the president's wife of the Zhan Group, so naturally I am stricter with you than with her."
"Is that so? You only see me as a pretty decoration for the Zhan family. For the sake of your Zhan family's reputation, have you ever cared about me?"
Jiang Qianhui's eyes were sharp. In her previous life, she had been repeatedly reprimanded by Zhan Yanxun at work. She worked very hard, even working overtime until three or four in the morning, just to gain Zhan Yanxun's approval.
But he never gave her a single affirming look, and always felt that she wasn't doing enough.
On the contrary, he never hesitated to praise Qiao Weiwei, especially her abilities at work.
She then realized that it wasn't that he couldn't coax or praise people, but that he simply wouldn't use such praise and affirmation on her. All he could say now was a casual remark. Did he think that just because their expectations of each other were different, he could erase all the resentment she felt after giving so much day and night only to be met with so much criticism?
"You are the wife of the president of the Zhan Group. As a person in a high position, you naturally have to put in more effort. If you weren't my wife, would I have spent so much time and effort on you? If it weren't for my cultivation of you, could you have orchestrated the near destruction of the Zhan Group?"
When Jiang Qianhui first joined the Zhan Group, she knew nothing about the business world and had no interest in it. However, under Zhan Yanxun's training over the past two years, she has indeed become capable of handling things independently in the business world.
"To be merciful to a cheating husband is to be cruel to yourself."
"Isn't it unfair to conclude that I cheated on you just because I was drugged once?"
“You feel that you didn’t cheat because I left in time. That’s why you’re resentful of me. If I continued to pester you, becoming a stumbling block and a test in your relationship, it would only make your love stronger.”
"What you're saying is just your conjecture. I never fell in love with her. What 'what if' is there? It seems you're convinced that leaving my life was the right thing to do. Why? Why should you be able to just barge into my life and leave as you please?"
Zhan Yanxun never imagined that he would have such a pitiful and humble moment.
Jiang Qianhui smiled lightly. If she didn't leave, would she just wait for her family to be destroyed like in her previous life?
But probably not anymore. In her previous life, she was too obsessed, but in this life she has long since let go of that obsession.
However, Zhan Yanxun at this moment seems to be just like her in her previous life, stubborn and obsessed, which is truly pathetic.
Zhan Yanxun gripped Jiang Qianhui's shoulders tightly. Jiang Qianhui frowned, and then, as if suddenly remembering something, he released her.
"Regarding my affair with Qiao Weiwei, if you think I've cheated on you, I can apologize to you, however I feel. Now that we have a child, don't be so willful. Getting involved with the Gu family won't do you or the child any good."
So he apologized to her because of the child?
"President Zhan, if you are apologizing to me because of the child, then I really can't accept it. After all, the child in my belly is not you, and I can't bear your apology."
"Jiang Qianhui, everything should be done in moderation. You've made a scene, and you're divorced. Do you still want to take my son and have him recognized as someone else's father?"
"President Zhan, you really didn't listen to a single word Gu Xunjing said. The child in my belly isn't yours; it was conceived through IVF. Your mother has told you about my infertility countless times. Don't you know I can't have your child?"
"So, it really is a medical malpractice case, and the child in your belly is Gu Xunjing's?"
At this moment, Zhan Yanxun was terrifyingly gloomy, as if he wanted to tear people apart, but even so, Jiang Qianhui remained fearless.
"Even if the noble Zhan Zong feels ashamed, it is indeed the truth, and you have no choice but to accept it."
Zhan Yanxun looked at Jiang Qianhui's slightly upturned face. The child in her belly wasn't his, yet she was so calm and showed no sadness whatsoever!
"Jiang Qianhui, don't be so nonchalant. I advise you to think it through before you speak. It concerns whether your mother can return home safely today."
Zhan Yanxun narrowed his eyes, his gaze turning sinister.
Jiang Qianhui's heart tightened. She had thought her mother was just waiting for her somewhere else, since she had been delayed for a while and the underground parking lot was too stuffy, but her mother was just going out for some fresh air. But she never expected that she would fall into Zhan Yanxun's hands.
"Zhan Yanxun, what do you want to do? I'm warning you, if you dare to hurt my mother, I'll wipe out your Zhan family."
Jiang Qianhui's eyes were filled with hatred, as if she wanted to perish with him even though she was pregnant.
Seeing that Jiang Qianhui was finally angry, Zhan Yanxun felt a little happy.
Anger finally surfaced on her usually calm face. It was better this way, even hatred was better than being so cold and indifferent to him.
"You're pregnant, so you absolutely mustn't get angry, it will hurt the baby!"
At this moment, Zhan Yanxun's face was slightly turned to the left, gloomy and terrifying, like a demon from hell.
"You crazy person."
Jiang Qianhui pushed Zhan Yanxun away forcefully. She picked up the phone and dialed her mother's number. She wanted to confirm whether her mother was really in Zhan Yanxun's hands.
Was Zhan Yanxun just threatening her?
Zhan Yanxun just stood there, watching Jiang Qianhui make a phone call as if it were none of his business, until the phone announced that the number he had dialed was switched off.
Jiang Qianhui lost control of her emotions, turned around and grabbed Zhan Yanxun's collar, saying, "You've already killed my mother once, do you want to kill her a second time?"
"You killed her once? When have I ever harmed her? I just want to know whose child you're carrying? I want the truth."
Zhan Yanxun suddenly hugged Jiang Qianhui tightly, as if he wanted to meld her into his body.
