Chapter 43

After leaving Fu Jinrong's office, Jiang Jing came out of the office building alone. She did not hesitate or regret anything. She felt that Fu Jinrong was going too far. He should not use the child to threaten her. It might be useful to other people, but for Jiang Jing, she would never give in to this.

Jiang Jing went to a garden next to Fu Jinrong's office building alone. She wanted to find a place to take a good rest and clear her mind.

Because, as Fu Jinrong had just said, if Jiang Jing did not agree to give birth to his child, he would withdraw his support for the the Jiang Corporation's , which would make it very easy for the the Jiang Corporation to collapse without sufficient funding. Although Jiang Jing was not interested in business, she did not want the Jiang Corporation to end like this.

To put it more simply, if the the Jiang Corporation failed in Jiang Jing's own hands, Jiang Jing would be really ashamed of herself for not meeting her dead father's expectation, so Jiang Jing did not allow this to happen.

Unwilling to give birth to a child with Fu Jinrong while needing a large sum of money to support the company, Jiang Jing felt that fate seemed to be pushing her to the brink of despair. She wanted to call her mother and seek comfort, but in the end, she suppressed the grievances in her heart because she didn't want her mother to worry.

Jiang Jing was sitting under a huge platanus tree. She covered her face with both hands and tightly shrank her body, as if she wanted to hide herself in this complicated and chaotic world.

There were very few visitors in the park. There was only the slight rustling of wind and leaves, sounding like the simplest note left to the world by an angel who was left behind in the man's world.

Jiang Jing stayed late in the park alone. She didn't think of a good way to solve her problem and just sat in her chair and waited for it to get dark. She always felt that only when it got dark could she leave safely and find her own space.

It was a little dark, and Jiang Jing looked around with her head up and her eyes narrowed. She felt that she had been hiding for long enough. She could not hide forever in the warmth she had created for herself like an ostrich. She had to think of a new way to overcome the difficulties Fu Jinrong had brought her.

"Mom, are you home?" Jiang Jing took out her phone and called her mother. She really didn't want to go back to her home, if that could be called "home", to be with Fu Jinrong tonight.

Mother of Jiang answered the phone and was very happy to hear her daughter's voice, "Yes, I am. Where can I go if I am not at home? What's the matter? Are you coming to dinner with Fu Jinrong?"

Hearing the word "Fu Jinrong," Jiang Jing was very conflicted. After thinking about it, she still decided not to tell her mother about her quarrel with Fu Jinrong in the afternoon.

"No, Fu Jinrong is on a business trip today. I don't want to be alone. I want to go home, so I can accompany you." Jiang Jing thought for a moment and came up with these words which seemed logical.

Mother of Jiang didn't think much about it. She thought that her daughter was homesick, so she quickly agreed, "Okay, then come back quickly. I made dumplings at noon, and I was preparing to eat dumplings at night. You come back to eat with me."

After Jiang Jing hung up the phone, tears began to fall from the corner of her eyes. She knew that she must want to cry when she heard her mother's voice. However, she couldn't help but want to go home and see her mother at this moment.

Fu Jinrong had not left the office yet. In fact, most of the employees in the building had left from work, but Fu Jinrong did not move at all.

He wanted to stay in the office a little longer because he knew that no one would be waiting for him to have dinner even if he went home. Jiang Jing would definitely not go home tonight.

He didn't know how long he could last the relationship with Jiang Jing like this, but no matter what, he wanted to continue in his own way.

"Ding." A text message from his phone interrupted Fu Jinrong's thinking. He opened the screen and saw a text message from Ye Shiwen, saying "Brother Rong, if it's convenient for you, please call me back".

When Ye Shiwen came home in the afternoon, she asked her mother's assistant to help investigate the relationship between Han Cheng and Jiang Jing, to see if it was as she thought. As expected, there was no lack of effort. Just a few hours later, her mother's assistant sent an email about the relationship between Han Cheng and Jiang Jing.

It was written in the email that the two of them were once lovers in college, but they broke up after Han Cheng's mother stopped them.

At the same time, Ye Shiwen mother's assistant told her that Fu Jinrong had withdrawn his investment in the the Jiang Corporation so that the the Jiang Corporation was likely to face a huge shortage of fund.

Ye Shiwen knew that Fu Jinrong's sudden withdrawal of funds from the the Jiang Corporation was definitely not an impulsive move at this time. It should be because Jiang Jing's actions had angered Fu Jinrong. Ye Shiwen felt that the most important thing to do at this time was to make Fu Jinrong more angry about what Jiang Jing had done.

What else should she do? Ye Shiwen asked herself silently in her heart. In a moment, she suddenly thought of Fu Jinrong and Jiang Jing's surprise when they heard Han Cheng's name today. It seemed that Han Cheng was the right one to help her achieve the goal.

Ye Shiwen thought of this and called Han Cheng. After a few rings, a pleasant and elegant male voice answered, "Hello, Miss Ye."

Han Cheng only met Ye Shiwen a few times, but out of courtesy and respect, he also greeted her seriously.

"Hello, Mr. Han, may I ask if you know Jiang Jing?" Ye Shiwen tried to be straightforward. She felt that if Han Cheng really cared about Jiang Jing, he would probably not care if she investigated him after hearing about Jiang Jing's current situation.

Sure enough, Han Cheng became nervous when he heard Jiang Jing's name, "What? What happened to Jiang Jing?"

Ye Shiwen smiled in her heart, but she still pretended to be as if nothing had happened and said, "Hey, it's nothing. I just heard that the Fu family withdrew the funds from the Jiang Corporation, and I think that the Jiang Corporation would have a hard time in the future, so I feel a little pity. I also heard that you and Jiang Jing are friends, so I just told you about it."

"Jiang Jing? Isn't it her sister Jiang Ru who's married to the the Fu family now?" Han Cheng remembered the last time he saw "Jiang Ru" at the funeral parlor. Although he also thought that "Jiang Ru" looked strange as she was not like the one he knew before, but a little like Jiang Jing. At that time he didn't think much about it, but he just thought that it was because the girl had grew up and been matured.

Now that he heard Ye Shiwen talk about Jiang Jing's relationship with the the Fu family, he had to wonder who the "Jiang Ru" he saw last time was.

"Don't you know? Jiang Ru is missing. Jiang Ru's sister took Jiang Ru's place and married Fu Jinrong. Now Mrs. Fu is no one else but Jiang Jing." Ye Shiwen did not expect Han Cheng to not know Jiang Jing's real identity until now.

Han Cheng panicked when he heard what Ye Shiwen said. He didn't expect that the one he had waited so hard had been married to someone else. Han Cheng didn't want to hear what Ye Shiwen said anymore. He just wanted to contact Jiang Jing immediately and ask her what was going on.

However, before Han Cheng hung up the phone, Ye Shiwen continued, "Jiang Jing really has a hard life. In addition to getting marry in place of her sister, now her husband has decided to withdraw money from the Jiang Corporation. Isn't this a slap in Jiang Jing's face?"

"Why did Fu Jinrong withdraw the funds?" Han Cheng didn't know what Fu Jinrong was thinking and why he suddenly withdrew his investment from the the Jiang Corporation. Didn't Fu Jinrong know what the Jiang Corporation meant to Jiang Jing?

Ye Shiwen pretended to be pitiful and sighed on the phone, then said, "I don't know, but facing the sudden withdrawal of the the Fu family, the situation of the Jiang Corporation must be difficult." Then she seemed to have thought of something and continued, "But actually..."

"But what?" Han Cheng didn't like her to be indirect. In his opinion, it would be best if she could just say what she wanted.

Ye Shiwen saw the opportunity, she could finally put out her own little plan, "But you can help Jiang Jing. In the case of the withdrawal of the the Fu family, your company can cooperate with Jiang Jing. After all, the company is in your control now. I think you should be capable for this."

Han Cheng was aware of Ye Shiwen's secret plan. He knew that Ye Shiwen just wanted to use his relationship with Jiang Jing to alienate Jiang Jing from Fu Jinrong. But at this time, Han Cheng could not care so much. All he was thinking about was who Jiang Jing was, and why did she agree to marry Fu Jinrong.

After Han Cheng finished the conversation with Ye Shiwen, he immediately asked his secretary to contact miss Jiang Ru of the the Jiang Corporation for cooperation. At this time, the Jiang Corporation was already in a mess because of the news that Fu Jinrong was going to withdraw funds. When the head of finance department heard that the Han family had the intention to cooperate, he quickly gave Jiang Jing's phone number to them.

When Han Cheng called Jiang Jing, Jiang Jing had just stepped into her mother's neighborhood. "Hello, who is it?" Jiang Jing was confused when she saw the strange number on the screen.

"It's me, Han Cheng." When Han Cheng heard Jiang Jing's voice, he believed that "Jiang Ru" was actually "Jiang Jing."

Jiang Jing was shocked. She did not expect Han cheng to call her at this time, "How may I help you?"

Han Cheng didn't want to discuss too much with Jiang Jing over the phone. He wanted to ask Jiang Jing out to talk, "Are you free now? Shall we come out and have a chat?"

Jiang Jing didn't know why Han Cheng suddenly wanted to meet her. She was stunned for a while before muttering to the phone, "No, I'm busy these days. I'll talk to you later when I am available."
