Hello There, Prideful Chairman

Chapter 42: Whether or Not You Will Return

At that moment, Shi Zihan received a phone call from his father informing him that their family had gone bankrupt.

He stared at Beiming Shaoxing in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost, then started running away like he had gone mad.

Worried for his mental state, Ji Xinxin followed him outside.

Ji Anan’s stiff body instantly relaxed, and she freed herself from his embrace. “Thank you.”

“Use your body to thank me.” He pulled her close again and held her in his arms as fiery passion burned in his eyes. His warm chest signified the lust and desire of a hot-blooded man. “Become my wife, and from now, on my shoulders will bear the weight of your world.”

He wouldn’t let her suffer under the harassment of these scumbags.

Ji Anan pushed him away and freed herself from him. “You must be crazy. There’s no way I’m marrying you! I was simply playing along and acting before!”

“So you want to get rid of me right after using me?” Beiming Shaox’s tone became more threatening. “I’m afraid that would be very difficult.”

“I didn’t ask you to help me.”

“Mr. Ji will appear in court for his embezzlement trial this afternoon. Miss Ji should think very carefully about the consequences of opposing me.”

Ji Anan’s eyes widened in astonishment.

“There’s something interesting that you should see.” Beiming Shaoxi unlocked his phone and handed it to her.

Ji Anan only watched for a few seconds, but her expression changed drastically. Father Ji had attempted to commit suicide by hanging himself, but the video captured the scene in which he was let down just in time.

“I have countless ways to make you agree to this marriage.”

“What did you do to my father?!”

“Just like I have the power to make Shi Zihan’s family go bankrupt within three minutes, I can also give the Ji family a taste of hell. Want to try?” His tone was ruthless.

Ji Anan’s entire body trembled violently with fear, and she couldn’t hold her ground anymore. “What on earth can I do to make you leave the Ji family alone?”

“Marry me.”

“Does Grandfather really have only one year left to live because of his illness?” Her final barrier had already been broken down.

She had been overwhelmed with helplessness and pain when she lost her parents three years ago.

If Father Ji hadn’t taken her under his wing, she would have died already.

After seeing that video, she felt absolutely devastated, as if her whole world was on the verge of collapsing. At that moment, she was willing to sacrifice anything.

Beiming Shaoxi’s low voice uttered an affirmative response.

“I can agree to marry you under the condition that the marriage only lasts for one year.” She lifted her head up. “We’ll specify in the contract that the moment Grandfather dies, our marriage will become annulled.”

Beiming Shaoxi frowned. They were talking about the conditions of their divorce before they were even married? And she even had the audacity to talk about the annulment date!

“Sorry, I need to use the restroom.” She pushed him aside and frantically made a beeline for the bathroom.

With her back to the door, she slowly slid to the ground, and the tears started falling down her face.

If the doctor said he had one year left to live, then there was little room for doubt, and Old Master Beiming was probably so desperate to see his great-grandchildren precisely because he didn’t have much longer to live.

Besides, she still had two years left until graduation, so she could afford to wait.

Gu Nancheng had once said that she was his forever, and no matter which man’s woman she became, he would win her back no matter what.

Ji Anan stared at her crystal pearl necklace in a daze. It had a Celtic-style goddess pendant, and it was a gift that Gu Nancheng had given her on her sixteenth birthday.

The goddess on the pendant was actually the side profile of Ji Anan with her long hair tied up in a bun that revealed her exquisite neckline.
