Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 264 - 2: The Disabled Tycoon’s Ex-Wife Refuses to Be a Scapegoat (2)
Jiang Lai silently rolled her eyes.
The plot has now progressed to the point where Jiang’s parents have started to force a marriage.
If the plot proceeds as written, the original will compromise this afternoon, ending up at the place to register the marriage without even seeing Mo Zhoujing’s face, and muddle her way into becoming a married woman, moving straight from home to Mo Zhoujing’s grand villa.
"What about the task?"
"The original had a strong business drive, but ultimately achieved nothing. So one task is to inherit the company and expand it, and the second task is related to Mo Zhoujing, where the original hopes he experiences the most heart-wrenching pain in the world."
Jiang Lai thought for a moment.
"Is heart-wrenching an adjective or a verb?"
"Murder is illegal, what do you think?"
Jiang Lai sighed, sitting on the bed thinking for a while, then asked.
"Who ended up inheriting Jiang Family’s company later?"
"Zhou Ruantian, and later she also became a strong woman, supposedly to meet the male lead at the peak."
Generally speaking, it’s a battle between the real and fake heiresses, interspersed with an unimportant cannon fodder ex-wife despite having a name.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lai directly approached Father Jiang and Mother Jiang, adamantly refusing to marry Mo Zhoujing.
Mother Jiang started her usual crying, arguing, and threatening suicide, while Jiang Lai directly negotiated with Father Jiang, who held the most sway in the family.
"Do you think marrying Mo Zhoujing would allow him to finance our acquisition? Don’t be naive, what does he see in me?"
"Mr. Mo can’t go back on his word, can he? Come on, you’re about to graduate from university, how can you be so immature? How am I supposed to trust you with the company in the future?"
Jiang Lai thought for a moment. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
"How about this? Give me a month, I’ll help you gather the missing seven hundred million. If I can’t do it, I’ll personally apologize to Mo Zhoujing and obediently marry him, how does that sound?"
"Seven hundred million! Do you think it’s seven million seventy million? Where are you going to get such a huge amount of money?"
"You don’t need to worry about that. Instead of forcing me now, wait for a month till I obey willingly, but I have one condition: give me Enyuan Charity Company under Jiang Family."
Father Jiang had no choice. As long as Jiang Lai agreed to marry, giving her an unimportant company was fine. After all, the entire group would eventually be hers.
After obtaining the company and becoming the boss, Jiang Lai’s first move was to directly transfer eighty percent of the company’s funds to donate for building a bridge across the river.
When Father Jiang found out, he was almost furious, as the group already faced issues with fund circulation, and Jiang Lai directly allocated nearly sixty million to build a bridge.
That night, Father Jiang patted his chest repeating "my own flesh and blood" over a hundred times, suppressing the impulse to beat Jiang Lai.
Mother Jiang directly advised.
"Come on, let her suffer a loss and she’ll be willing, it’s only sixty million."
"Make her come back, get married!"
Jiang Lai hid in the company, completely ignoring them, until the month-long term ended, when Father Jiang barged into her office with people.
"There’s nothing left to say now, is there? Mr. Mo’s assistant is waiting downstairs, don’t say anything, hurry up and go."
Jiang Lai indeed didn’t speak. Instead, she waved to the secretary, who then handed over a document.
Father Jiang frowned, puzzled by Jiang Lai’s antics.
"Look at what’s on there before speaking."
"Shangqi Two Cities plans to build a transportation hub, Peng Group is investing heavily to purchase the cross-river bridge."
He was stunned, unable to react for a moment.
"I hold seventy percent of the cross-river bridge’s investment shares. If Peng Group wants to buy, they’ll have to spend money to buy from me."
"So?"
"So here’s seven hundred million, take it and use it."
Seeing the extra seven hundred million in the company’s account, Father Jiang stood there dumbfounded, rubbing his eyes over and over until he finally believed he wasn’t dreaming—Jiang Lai really gathered the seven hundred million in a month.
Downstairs, Mo Zhoujing’s assistant frowned, looking at his watch.
It’s already three minutes past the agreed time; he disliked people who weren’t punctual, so when Father Jiang came out, he asked with a stern face.
"Where is Miss Jiang? Please don’t waste our time."
Father Jiang awkwardly rubbed his hands, then helplessly smiled.
"Ah... my daughter is really difficult to handle. We’re parents too; if she really doesn’t want it, I can’t force her. Sincerely sorry, I’ll personally visit to apologize to Mr. Mo..."
"So, Miss Jiang isn’t going to marry Mr. Mo today, is she?"
Father Jiang hesitated for a moment but finally nodded.
"Sorry."
"Save those words for Mr. Mo, since that’s the case, I’ll go back and relay this to Mr. Mo."
With that, the assistant got into the car and left directly, leaving Father Jiang standing there, both excited and panicked.
Returning home, Mother Jiang also learned about the cross-river bridge, hastily grabbing Father Jiang and asking.
"Is this the bridge invested and donated by Lai Lai? Isn’t it just an ordinary bridge? How can Peng Group spend so much money to buy the investment qualification?"
"You don’t understand. Now with the policy released, this bridge isn’t ordinary, but a significant transportation hub connecting two cities, with economic value reaching hundreds of billions!"
"That high?"
"Yes, Lai Lai was really lucky this time, catching the right timing with the policy release."
The couple kept discussing, and as Zhou Ruantian came home from school, hearing their conversation, she greeted them after entering the door.
"Mom, is there a happy event coming for our family soon?"
"What happy event? Who did you hear it from?"
Zhou Ruantian thought for a moment, then casually replied.
"I heard it from Han Han before; she said Sister Lai Lai is about to get married. She definitely wouldn’t joke about this, so I prepared a wedding gift for my sister."
Looking at her, Mother Jiang sighed.
"Don’t bring this up again; especially don’t mention it in front of your sister. You’re considerate."
When Zhou Ruantian heard this, she suddenly became a bit nervous.
She carefully asked.
"What’s wrong? Is there any change?"
At this point, Father Jiang sternly interjected from the side.
"Stop prying into some things. Can you still keep up with your school courses? Ask your sister if there’s anything you don’t understand."
Zhou Ruantian knew that in this family, father held the most authority. To deal with Jiang Han, she must gain father’s recognition.
So she obediently nodded her head.
"Yes, I know, Dad."
Regarding Jiang Lai’s marriage, although she remained curious, she didn’t dare ask further, so she quietly went upstairs, planning to ask Jiang Lai when she returned.
In theory, they should have registered a month earlier, and later the two families sat together for a simple meal.
But now, so much time has passed without any news, sparking Zhou Ruantian’s curiosity about what change occurred, not aligning with her dreams.
