She hadn't left yet, so what was the point of discarding the gift in front of her?
Jiang Nan Fang hadn't expected Zhan Bei Jue to be so childish and quickly walked over to pick up the box again.
"Zhan Bei Jue, aren't you being ridiculous?"
Zhan Bei Jue sneered, "I'm ridiculous? Isn't he?"
"He just picked up some trash from the black market and thought he could fool you, fool my son, Zhan Bei Jue's son, thinking he's so noble?"
"You..."
"To confess on behalf of Ke Teng, and ask you to be his daughter-in-law? It's simply laughable. Is his son that idiotic? Does a proposal require the father to do it?"
"If people know you're going to be the young madam of the Ke family, they might think you're going to be the wife!"
"If you dare to agree to something so disgraceful, Jiang Nan Fang, you're a pig!"
Jiang Nan Fang had already argued enough today. She had just finished arguing with his mother, and now she had to argue with him?
Sorry, she didn't have the energy.
Say whatever he wanted, think whatever he wanted. She was tired and just wanted peace now.
After Zhan Bei Jue finished speaking, he looked at her coldly for two seconds. Jiang Nan Fang, holding the toy, turned to leave.
Zhan Bei Jue immediately reached out and grabbed her.
"Speak! What are your thoughts? Answer me!"
"You're not actually moved by his words, are you, Jiang Nan Fang? Let me tell you, it's absolutely impossible!"
"Letting me watch you remarry, letting my son, Zhan Bei Jue's child, call someone else father? Unless I'm dead, don't even think about it!"
After all the effort he put into speaking, Jiang Nan Fang didn't hear any trace of affection in his words, only a string of misunderstandings.
So what was the point of his anger?
Did he dislike Ke Teng? Or did he think it was disgraceful for his ex-wife to remarry someone else? Or was it possessiveness, unable to stand his child calling someone else father?
Jiang Nan Fang turned back and looked at him with a hint of helplessness and disappointment.
"Zhan Bei Jue, you're truly selfish. Even at this point, can't you set aside your personal emotions and think only of the child?"
"You'd rather watch the child die than tolerate him calling someone else father? Is this your twisted fatherly love?"
"..."
Zhan Bei Jue was speechless at her comprehension.
What I'm trying to say is clearly that I want to tell you:
You want to take the child and leave me, Zhan Bei Jue, to be someone else's woman? Don't even think about it!
Are you a pig, Jiang Nan Fang? How did you interpret it like that?
He gritted his teeth in anger.
"I'm a man, and I have the ability to provide a life for the child that's no worse than anyone else's. Do I need you to sell yourself, Jiang Nan Fang?"
His words were always so unpleasant.
The other person clearly admired her talent and liked her as a person, a relatively fair exchange.
How did it become selling herself when it came to him?
Jiang Nan Fang shook off his hand.
"Didn't you say that suitable hearts for Jing Yu couldn't be found through legitimate channels in the market for a while?"
"Tian Tian is already like this, and I don't want Jing Yu to wait any longer. We can't afford to take that risk."
So, according to her, she was prepared to accept Ke Jing Yu's suggestion?
Just for this small favor, she was really going to go with Ke Teng?!
"What kind of bullshit logic is this? You want to try even knowing it's from an illegitimate channel? What if it works? What if..."
Jiang Nan Fang interrupted him.
"So it's not that there's no way at all, but you're unwilling to take the risk, right?"
"You're afraid of breaking the law, afraid of being exposed and investigated later, afraid of affecting the Zhan Corporation's reputation, and you're simply unwilling to try?"
"Heh, if that's the case, can I understand it as this: at a critical moment, your child's life or your Zhan Bei Jue's reputation, which is more important to you?"
Zhan Bei Jue was truly defeated by her god-like logic.
Why was she being so unreasonable now?
To save her child's life, she actually encouraged him to break the law?
"Jiang Nan Fang, your child's life is a life, and others' are too. I'm not afraid to do anything for him, as long as it doesn't harm others."
"If I have to harm someone else for him to live, then I really can't do it."
"How can you be so sure that Ke Teng definitely obtained this heart by harming someone else?"
Jiang Nan Fang sighed.
"Don't try to portray yourself as so noble, Zhan Bei Jue. Even if he did harm someone, you can't, but I can."
"Don't say you'd lose your morals for the sake of the child. I'd even die for him."
"See, we are ultimately not people of the same path. This is our biggest difference."
"..."
"I'll say it again, the child is mine, and you don't need to bother. From now on, our life or death has nothing to do with you."
"Let me take them to walk a tightrope alone. You stay far away, lest you accidentally get involved in a scandal and implicate your President Zhan."
After saying that, she deliberately took out her phone and called Ke Jing Yu back, as if to provoke him.
"Mr. Ke, you haven't left yet, have you? I've thought about it. It's at this hospital."
"As long as a doctor and surgery can be arranged before twelve o'clock tonight, and after the child gets better, I am willing to do my best for the Ke family."
Ke Jing Yu knew this would be the outcome.
There was no mother who didn't love her child. Ke Teng had played this card very well.
"Okay. I'll arrange it right away. I'm very happy that we'll be family soon, Nan Fang."
Looking at Jiang Nan Fang's provocative demeanor and listening to her morally corrupt words, Zhan Bei Jue was completely speechless.
For the first time, he realized how incompatible his ideology was with Jiang Nan Fang's and how they couldn't see eye to eye.
To win, she was willing to break any bottom line.
"Jiang Nan Fang, the child is half mine. I don't agree to let anyone touch him casually, not even you are qualified enough! It's too early to agree to someone else!"
Jiang Nan Fang was so tired that she didn't want to say another word.
"Zhan Bei Jue, I beg you to leave. Instead of wasting time arguing with me, why don't you go back and appease your mother?"
"I'm not asking you to be responsible. Why don't you go back to be filial to your mother, find a beautiful woman, and have another child? Our mother and children really don't need your concern."
Yes, she didn't need his concern.
She was about to become Ke Jing Yu's daughter-in-law, so of course, she didn't need other men.
To drive him away? To have children with another woman?
Had her conscience been eaten by dogs?
His mother had told her more than once that besides her, he hadn't touched any other woman, nor did he want to. Didn't she understand what that meant?
Zhan Bei Jue's heart bled from her heartless words, but he couldn't show it.
If he showed it, he would lose.
Not only would he lose to Jiang Nan Fang, but he would also lose to the insignificant Ke Teng. He couldn't accept it!
"This is my territory, the money was spent by me, the people were hired by me, and your daughter's life was saved by people I called."
"Please clarify the situation, Miss Jiang. If anyone should leave, it should be you."
"..."
Just then, Jing Yu borrowed paper and pen and returned obediently.
As Zhan Bei Jue finished speaking, Jiang Nan Fang, filled with anger, grabbed Jing Yu.
"If you want me to go, I'll go! When Tian Tian gets better, even if you beg me to come to your territory again, I won't! Let's never see each other again!"
After saying that, she turned around aggressively, intending to return to the entrance of the emergency room.
However, after taking just one step, her carotid artery felt a sharp pain as if pricked by a needle. The next second, she lost consciousness.
