Chapter 46

Jiang Zhongheng could not help but feel happy when he saw Fu Jinrong was so determined. He knew deeply that only when the relationship between Jiang Jing and Fu Jinrong really deteriorated could he find a gap between them to break their relationship which had already been shaken.

"Well, Fu, since you have said so, I can't persuade you anymore. Although we are relatives, I understand you. For businessmen, of course, profit should be the first." After that, he sighed and said, "Fu, there's actually something I don't know if I should tell you."

Fu Jinrong frowned and thought to himself: "You didn't know whether to tell me or not, and you still say it in such a mysterious way. Are you just saying it on purpose and attract my attention?"

But Fu Jinrong still responded to Jiang Zhongheng and asked, "Oh? I think you can just tell me. I can accept anything."

Jiang Zhongheng saw that Fu Jinrong had taken the bait so he quickly said, "Well, have you had a little conflict with Jing recently?" Jiang Zhongheng didn't want to directly tell Fu Jinrong that Jiang Jing and Han Cheng were going on a date tomorrow. He wanted to say it out little by little so that Fu Jinrong would believe it more easily.

"Yes, we had a slight quarrel this afternoon." When Fu Jinrong heard Jiang Zhongheng mention Jiang Jing, he was a little confused. Was it about Jiang Jing that Jiang Zhongheng wanted to tell him?

Jiang Zhongheng pretended to be enlightened and said, "I see. I mean, Jing is not a fool. She must be angry with you this time so she goes to do such a stupid thing."

"What is it?" Fu Jinrong was getting more and more confused. What was Jiang Zhongheng trying to say to him?

"Fu, I heard that Jing is going on a date with Han Cheng, the eldest son of the Han family tomorrow." Jiang Zhongheng saw that Fu Jinrong was a little anxious, so he immediately told him all the things. He knew that with his concern for Jiang Jing, Fu Jinrong would be very interested in this news.

Sure enough, Fu Jinrong asked, "What? Han Cheng? Jiang Jing is going to date Han Cheng? Han Cheng didn't know that Jiang Jing wasn't Jiang Ru. Why would he date Jiang Jing?"

"I don't know. All I know is that Jiang Jing and Han Cheng are going on a date at the coffee shop at the entrance of the University of Yun City tomorrow. That's where they often dated when they were in college." Jiang Zhongheng knew what Fu Jinrong cared about. So he kept reminding Fu Jinrong of what he cared about most.

"Where they often dated when they were in college." Undoubtedly, this sentence struck Fu Jinrong in the heart. The reason why he had always been hostile to Han Cheng was that he was the person Jiang Jing once loved.

Now,  he was told that the two were going on a date tomorrow. Fu Jinrong felt that he, who had always been calm, could not stay calm anymore.

"Second uncle, do you know why they are going on a date?" Fu Jinrong also wanted to personally call Jiang Jing to ask why she was going to go out alone with Han Cheng, but he still held himself back. He knew that he could not be so impulsive at this time and that he should grasp the information of the situation as much as possible before everything was settled.

Jiang Zhongheng pretended to think for a while and said, "It seems to be about the cooperation between the Han family and the Jiang Corporation, but I cain't understand it. If it's really all for business, why don't they talk about it in the office but go to the coffee shop where they often went to when they were in college"?

"Okay, I see. Do you know the time? The time of their date?" Fu Jinrong's intuition told him that he should trust Jiang Jing. Jiang Jing was not that kind of person. Jiang Jing would never do something like cheating and loving two men at the same time.

But he couldn't help but wonder why Jiang Jing and Han Cheng were dating. If it was really about the cooperation, as Jiang Zhongheng said, they could talk in the office. Why did they have to go to the coffee shop?

Jiang Zhongheng was very proud of his little tricks when he saw that Fu Jinrong had completely believed it. He thought for a while and told Fu Jinrong, "If I remember it correctly, it should be three o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

Fu Jinrong hung up the phone after Jiang Zhongheng finished his last sentence. He didn't expect to know such news when he was already so annoyed.

Although this was a bit exaggerated, there was no doubt that the news that Jiang Jing was going on a date with Han Cheng tomorrow really irritated him.

"You want to work with the Han family? Is this the reason why you are still unwilling to forgive me even if I apologized and admitted my mistake?" Fu Jinrong thought to himself. He knew that whether Jiang Jing went on this date tomorrow or not, he would definitely go there. He wanted to see what they wanted to do.

The next day, Jiang Jing had a good sleep in her small bed. She felt very comfortable and relaxed. Although her bedroom and bed were not so big, the warmth and comfort they gave to her were unmatched by any large bedroom.

When she just got up, she even missed the huge hug that Fu Jinrong would give her every day. She actually missed it. She couldn't even understand it. Jiang Jing grabbed her hair with her hands and ordered herself, "Jiang Jing, stop thinking about nonsense."

After getting up, Jiang Jing went to the restaurant and saw the note left by her mother: "Remember to eat breakfast. I'm going to the hospital to see Muzhi."

Jiang Jing saw the millet porridge and buns prepared by her mother on the dining table. She took a bun directly with her hand and found that although the buns were not hot, they were still warm, and she could still eat them directly.

Eating the breakfast that her mother had prepared for her, Jiang Jing felt that she was about to start anew, and this day seemed to be very smooth and beautiful.

"Ding -" Jiang Jing heard her cell phone ring. She looked at the screen. It was grandpa Jiang Jingrun's call. Why did he look for her so early? Was it still about Fu Jinrong's withdrawal of investment?

Jiang Jing answered the phone with some doubt, "Hello, grandpa, what's wrong?"

"Do you still know that I am your grandfather?" Jiang Jingrun's voice was filled with anger, a voice Jiang Jing had never heard before.

Jiang Jing frowned. She thought about it and calmly said to the old man on the phone, "Grandpa, calm down. I can explain it."

"What can you explain? Do you know how much impact Fu Jinrong's sudden withdrawal of capital has on the Jiang Corporation? Have you ever thought about the Jiang Corporation?"

Jiang Jingrun only learned from Jiang Zhongheng this morning that Fu Jinrong was withdrawing funds from the Jiang Corporation. The moment he heard the news, he felt that his world was about to collapse down. As the founder of the Jiang Corporation, he was now very clear about the financial situation of the company. He also knew that without a good source of funds, his corporation would be completely defeated easily.

Jiang Jing rubbed her forehead helplessly. She said to her grandfather on the phone a bit angrily, "Grandpa, how could I not know all these things? What I did were all for the Jiang Corporation, didn't I? What can I do now if Fu Jinrong wanted to withdraw his investment?"

"Don't you know why I asked you to marry him? You are his wife. Can't you just tell him not to withdraw his investment?"

Jiang Jingrun told her his plan directly. That's right. In his opinion, Jiang Jing was just a tool to save the Jiang Corporation. He didn't care about she loved Fu Jinrong or not, compared to the fate of his corporation, everything was nonsense.

Jiang Jing smiled awkwardly. Grandpa finally spoke his mind so openly, "Yes, grandpa, I am indeed Fu Jinrong's wife, but I am just his wife, and he doesn't love me. Why does he have to pay so much for me? He has no obligation to listen to me."

Jiang Jingrun frowned and his gray beard trembled slightly, "Nonsense! You're his wife. Why can't you ask him to do something you want?"

Then the old master Jiang ordered, "I don't care about anything else. Go talk to Fu Jinrong now and make Fu Jinrong continue to invest in the Jiang Corporation. In this case, I can pretend that all these things have never happened."

Jiang Jing refused without thinking, "It's impossible. I won't ask him."

"Then what do you want to do? Do you want to see the Jiang Corporation being destroyed? Your father has just passed away. Do you want your father to be anxious about it even in the heaven?" Old master Jiang picked up his trump card. He knew that no matter how calm Jiang Jing was, she would not be so indifferent when he talked about Jiang Zhongyong.

Sure enough, after mentioning Jiang Zhongyong, Jiang Jing suffered. She leaned over the table in pain and said sharply in the phone, "Don't mention my father, don't mention him."

"I founded the Jiang Corporation, but the Jiang Corporation was to the most extent developed by your father. Are you going to destroy your father's lifetime achievements?" Jiang Jingrun ignored Jiang Jing's request and continued to mention her father——her weakness on the phone.

Jiang Jing was lying on the table, silent for a long time. She just listened quietly, listening to Jiang Jingrun's introduction of her father's hard work at the other end of the phone.

Jiang Jing wondered if she had really done something wrong. Should she really compromise a little bit with Fu Jinrong and agree to Fu Jinrong's request to give birth to a child with him, and then continue to maintain the difficult operation of the Jiang Corporation?

No, that was not what she wanted. Jiang Jing knew very well that she did not want to have any business of interest with Fu Jinrong. She wanted to settle everything by herself from now on. She also believed firmly that she could solve all of these and that she would not let her father's lifetime work be in vain.

"Grandpa, don't worry. If the Fu family won't invest in our corporation anymore, I can find someone else. I'll deal with it" Jiang Jing comforted herself as well as her grandpa.
