195: Zhan Yanxun's Nightmare from His Past Life
195: Zhan Yanxun's Nightmare from His Past Life
Jiang Zhengguo paused for a moment, then sighed silently before speaking.
"I had a girlfriend before I married your mother. We were childhood sweethearts, grew up together, and had a very good relationship. My mother liked her very much too, and when we were kids, she would joke that she would definitely be my wife."
I thought we would get married, but then she met a rich man and dumped me. At the time, I had no idea she was pregnant with my child. She went to the US with that man, only to find out that he already had a wife in America.
At the time, she wanted to use Jiang Che to rise in rank and force the other party's wife away.
Who knew the other party had fertility issues and already knew Jiang Che wasn't his child. He was just playing around with her, just toying with her.
After she broke off relations with that man, she returned to China with her two-year-old son, Jiang Che.
At that time, I had already married your mother, and you had just been born. My career was just getting on track, my marriage was happy, and I had a child. I definitely wouldn't want her to come back and bother me.
Your grandmother found out that your mother had a difficult childbirth and can no longer have children. She wants a grandson, so she wants me to divorce your mother and be with her.
I rejected that absurd idea outright.
But your grandmother refused, and even threatened me with her life, forcing me to bring back the only grandson of the Jiang family. I had no choice but to discuss it with that woman and ask her to send Jiang Che to an orphanage, and I would bring Jiang Che home after a while.
That woman thought that as long as Jiang Che entered the Jiang family, she could also enter the Jiang family. How could that be possible?
I already have you, so how could I possibly get entangled with her mother? Later, after trying every means possible and realizing she couldn't achieve her goals, she took the money I gave her and went back to the US. She didn't want Jiang Che anymore either.
I think she probably had a new goal at that time.
My biggest regret now is that I didn't tell your mother the truth about this, but instead used deception.
"And if I'd known Jiang Che was going to be a good-for-nothing, I shouldn't have brought him home in the first place."
Jiang Qianhui listened in silence, which shows that everyone's life is full of helplessness.
Her father was dumped by his ex-girlfriend, and just when his career was on track and his marriage was going well, his ex-girlfriend suddenly appeared with her son.
He always protected his mother; his only mistake was lying, and that lie became a knot in his mother's heart that tormented her for half her life.
Unable to resolve her inner turmoil, the mother vented all her anger on her brother.
The father was helpless, the mother was innocent, but the most innocent one should be the older brother.
The mother was not wrong either. But in the end, it was the older brother who suffered the most from their grievances.
In fact, every time she had her birthday when she was little, she was the center of attention, a little princess surrounded by everyone. When singing the birthday song, she was surrounded by her parents, and in the flickering candlelight, you could see her brother's longing eyes.
In her previous life, she and her mother both rejected her brother, but when disaster struck, they realized who was family and who was the enemy.
"Your grudges and grievances are a tangled mess, but the most pitiful one is still my brother. You know that when we were little, my mother and I bullied him, but you never stood up for him. Now you still think he's a good-for-nothing. I really feel sorry for my brother."
"Sui Sui, didn't you used to dislike Jiang Che just like your mother?"
“I was young and ignorant before, but now I know that my brother is my blood relative. He will always be my brother, and he is not a good-for-nothing.”
"I hope he lives up to your brotherly love. I also hope he's not a good-for-nothing; otherwise, having a good-for-nothing son is worse than not having one at all. I'm going to see your mother now."
In your previous life, your father always thought your brother was a good-for-nothing, and you always looked down on him. Your mother only realized how good your brother was before she committed suicide.
In this life, she wants to make sure everything is in time, and to let her brother enjoy the warmth of family.
……
Nighttime, at the Zhan family home.
Zhan Yanxun frowned deeply, as if he had fallen into a terrible nightmare.
In her dream, Jiang Qianhui held Qiao Weiwei hostage with a knife, accusing him in a hoarse voice of why he didn't love her.
"I've said it before, our marriage is just a business arrangement, and I will never fall in love with you."
"But you also said that as long as I behaved myself, I would be Mrs. Zhan for life. But what about now?"
"Jiang Qianhui, I gave you a chance. But you insisted on a fight to the death."
"In the Zhan family, your family treated me like a maid, and I endured and flattered them for your sake. In the business world, I helped you eliminate internal and external troubles and helped you reach the top of the conglomerate. But why do you treat me like this?"
"Qiao Weiwei, she should be dead."
With the sharp sound of gunfire, Zhan Yanxun also woke up from his nightmare, his forehead covered in sweat.
How could he have such a strange dream, in which he actually shot and killed Jiang Qianhui?
Although he was furious about Jiang Qianhui's betrayal and mockery, he never considered killing her.
Was it because he was so angry that he had this dream of shooting Jiang Qianhui?
Zhan Yanxun was still uneasy, so he quickly took out a gun from a hidden compartment in the drawer.
It was this gun that he used to kill Jiang Qianhui in his dream, but the bullets in this gun were blanks.
Blank bullets cannot kill people. This is because he was kidnapped as a child, and this was given to him by his grandfather for self-defense.
However, in the dream, a bullet pierced Jiang Qianhui's heart, and a lot of blood flowed from her chest, a shocking scene.
Zhan Yanxun checked the magazine and found that there were no bullets missing, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
It's funny to think about it now. It was just a dream, so why was I so nervous?
But in my dream, Jiang Qianhui looked so tragic, especially when she shouted out in a hoarse voice, "Why did you do this to me?"
It was so tragic; I felt my heart aching.
Zhan Yanxun suddenly put the pistol back in the drawer with a cold face; it was just a dream.
She wouldn't be sad. She divorced him to fulfill her wish, so why would she question him? He didn't care about her.
He's the one who should be sad. It's ridiculous that someone like him was tricked into getting a divorce.
Zhan Yanxun's eyes grew increasingly gloomy.
……
next day
The news of Zhan Yanxun and Jiang Qianhui's divorce spread to every corner of Country A. The Zhan family had originally planned to clarify things at a press conference, but now they couldn't clear their name no matter what.
The stock price plummeted again, and the market value evaporated by another 500 billion.
It's truly a sad state of affairs for a company that was once so successful.
On that very day, the mobile phone jointly developed by the Jiang and Gu families was snapped up as soon as it hit the market, breaking sales records in recent years and becoming the most popular mobile phone on the market.
The Jiang and Gu families made a fortune. Although Gu Xuanwu had seen a lot, he was still amazed by their achievements.
"Xiangrui, I told you Jiang Qianhui is auspicious. When are you finally going to win her back?"
