War Young's Ex-Wife Returns with Child
While Zhan Bei Jue spent leisurely days in Bali with Jiang Nan Fang and their child, in Nancheng, Gong Bei Bei was frantic, like an ant on a hot pan.
After her father returned to the country, his gambling not only didn't subside but he also used his spare time to go to Aocheng again, losing the last two old houses of their family.
As a socialite of Nancheng, Gong Bei Bei now had nothing but an empty title.
She couldn't wait any longer.
If she waited any longer, her father's affairs would be exposed, and she would lose everything.
Even the last bargaining chip for marrying into a wealthy family would be gone.
Therefore, she was anxiously waiting for Zhan Bei Jue to return quickly and solidify their relationship.
Because her cousin Li Hui Wen had an accident, Huo Dong Ning was deeply affected.
She posted photos of Jiang Nan Fang and Zhan Bei Jue in Bali to the socialite group, cursing and slandering Jiang Nan Fang as shameless and Zhan Bei Jue as blind.
The circle of the rich was always small. Gong Bei Bei happened to be in the group.
Upon seeing the photo of Zhan Bei Jue and Jiang Nan Fang together, she felt like she had grabbed the last straw and quickly showed the photo to Mrs. Zhan.
Upon hearing that Zhan Bei Jue had reconciled with his ex-wife, and that the woman had undergone plastic surgery and was now planning to remarry, Mrs. Zhan was furious.
"How could Ah Jue be so foolish? He ignores so many good girls and instead looks at that worthless ugly monster."
"I will absolutely not let him repeat his mistakes. Bei Bei, you need to hurry and finalize things between you two."
Gong Bei Bei looked pitiful.
"It's not that I don't want to, Aunt Zhou. You know Ah Jue's temper."
"He's blinded by a fox spirit now. He doesn't see what I do or hear what I say."
It seemed she had to step in herself.
Mrs. Zhan immediately conspired with Gong Bei Bei to devise a plan for a forced marriage.
Soon, the wedding in Bali was concluded.
There was a backlog of matters to handle at the company, so Zhan Bei Jue had to bring the child back to the country.
Zhan Bei Jue had been behaving well recently, and he was showing some of the fatherly demeanor he should have towards the child.
Jiang Nan Fang's plan to leave was once again put on hold.
Every mother loves her child. If she could have both maternal and paternal love, why would she want to break this peace?
Perhaps, she should give Zhan Bei Jue another chance and observe him.
If he could maintain his current behavior and stay in Nancheng, it might be more beneficial for the child's physical and mental development.
Using the excuse of missing her grandchild, Mrs. Zhan returned to the country. On the day of their return, Jiang Nan Fang checked into a hotel by herself, and Zhan Bei Jue took the child home.
At the dinner table, Mrs. Zhan handed Zhan Bei Jue an invitation.
"Your father, I, and you are all graduates of Nanda University. It is our duty to give back to our alma mater."
"Last year, I donated a new library to Nanda University in the name of Zhan Corporation. Now, Nanda University is celebrating its 150th anniversary and has invited us, mother and son, to attend. Tomorrow, no matter what, you cannot refuse this event."
Grandfather and mother had always been enthusiastic about public welfare.
Moreover, the path of public welfare could indeed rapidly and effectively enhance the company's reputation. Zhan Bei Jue naturally could not refuse.
"Understood. I will be there on time tomorrow."
After dinner, it was getting late. After so many days of hard work, Mrs. Zhan let Zhan Bei Jue go back to rest.
He returned to his room and washed up. Gong Bei Bei suddenly knocked on his door.
"It's so late. We can talk tomorrow," Zhan Bei Jue said, blocking the doorway and preventing her from entering.
Gong Bei Bei didn't insist. She handed him a glass of wine and said,
"I was just worried you were tired and couldn't sleep well, so I wanted to come and have a drink with you. Since you don't want to, then forget it. You drink it yourself."
Zhan Bei Jue refused to accept Gong Bei Bei, and even refused her wine.
"No need. I don't want to drink today. You should go back to sleep."
She knew he would be so rigid and heartless. Fortunately, Mrs. Zhan had already tampered with his food beforehand.
Gong Bei Bei left. Not long after, Zhan Bei Jue fell into a deep sleep on the bed.
Unexpectedly, when he woke up the next morning, there was another person in the bed.
Gong Bei Bei, naked and with a delicate face, woke up with him.
"How did you get into my room?"
Upon realizing it was her, Zhan Bei Jue jumped out of bed in shock.
Gong Bei Bei looked wronged, "This is my room, Ah Jue."
"Don't you remember what happened last night? You insisted on coming to my room, you insisted on me..."
This was Gong Bei Bei's room?
Zhan Bei Jue turned his head and looked around. It was indeed her room.
But he hadn't drunk anything last night, so how could he have ended up in her room?
As they were speaking, the room door was pushed open, and Mrs. Zhan walked in.
Seeing them like this, Mrs. Zhan had a knowing expression.
"You're up? The Nanda anniversary celebration is about to start. Hurry and change and come with me."
"You are both grown up now. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Since you've taken this step, it's time to solidify your relationship."
"Bei Bei is a girl from a respectable family. We cannot mistreat her."
Zhan Bei Jue naturally refused.
He hadn't even figured out what was going on, so how could he finalize his relationship with Gong Bei Bei?
"Mom, it's not what you think. There's nothing between her and me."
Gong Bei Bei, covering herself with the blanket, jumped out of bed.
"What do you mean there's nothing between us? Ah Jue, what do you mean by saying that?"
"Could it be that everything that happened last night is not to be taken seriously? What do you take me for?"
Mrs. Zhan looked at Gong Bei Bei.
She saw purple marks all over her neck and shoulders.
"Ah Jue, as a man, how can you say such irresponsible words?"
"The facts are right in front of you. How can you hurt Bei Bei's feelings like this? What do you want to do? Be like your father, a faithless scoundrel?"
Zhan Bei Jue knew that he would not react to anyone except Jiang Nan Fang.
Even if they had ended up lying together confusedly yesterday, nothing could have happened.
As he was about to explain to Mrs. Zhan, she waved her hand.
"Let's not talk about it for now. The event is important. We can discuss matters of romance after the event."
"Bei Bei, don't worry. Aunt Zhou will give you a reasonable explanation."
Zhan Bei Jue's mood was low, and he followed his mother to the Nanda campus with a displeased expression.
The 150th anniversary celebration was very grand.
Thousands of students were seated on the sports field, and dozens of media outlets were pointing their cameras around the stage.
Celebrities, entrepreneurs, and school leaders took turns speaking on stage.
Mrs. Zhan was invited to speak as a representative. The entire event was proceeding smoothly and was very inspiring.
Zhan Bei Jue, as a representative of outstanding alumni and a renowned entrepreneur, was scheduled to be the final speaker.
He read the speech script mechanically, without any emotion.
After a few minutes, the speech was over, and he could finally leave the stage.
However, at this moment, a loud commotion erupted from the crowd.
The reporters keenly turned their lenses towards the audience.
Zhan Bei Jue looked over and saw a woman in a white wedding dress, dressed beautifully and exquisitely, walking towards the stage amidst the crowd.
This woman was none other than Gong Bei Bei, who had caused a misunderstanding with him that morning.
