My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1040: Chapter 894: The Final Result_7

Old Master Zhang couldn’t believe his ears: Is this really the daughter of the sly and cunning Li Haixiao? How could she turn out like this? Could it be that Li Corporation has encountered some major upheaval? This Li Jiayuan, even I was quite scared, let alone my foolish son! Sigh!

Old Master Zhang silently pondered in his heart how much he had hoped that Li Jiayuan could be with Zhang Zhentian, but now...

Terrified by Li Jiayuan, Old Master Zhang decided that he wouldn’t answer any calls tonight, no matter who called. He didn’t want to be frightened again.

But how could Old Master Zhang have thought that the call that followed wasn’t from Li Jiayuan, but from Xia Jing? Afraid that it was Li Jiayuan calling, he didn’t answer, causing Xia Jing to have a sleepless night.

Ring... ring...

Waves of phone rings came, and Old Master Zhang just sat there without answering. Getting annoyed by the phone ringing, he said to Aunt Xu, ”Aunt Xu, no matter how much the phone rings tonight, don’t answer it, got it?”

Aunt Xu was a bit confused by Old Master Zhang’s meaning and asked, ”Master, how can you not answer when someone’s calling?”

Old Master Zhang didn’t know how to explain it to Aunt Xu, so he simply told her, ”Just remember what I said; don’t worry about anything else.”

Aunt Xu noticed Old Master Zhang’s face becoming serious, so she kept her mouth shut and said nothing more. Old Master Zhang glanced at Aunt Xu and went upstairs.

Xia Jing called my home number more than ten times, but no one answered. She thought Zhang Zhentian was still busy, so she decided to wait a bit before calling again.

Unfortunately, Xia Jing didn’t know that by waiting and calling later, she led to my misunderstanding that it was Li Jiayuan calling, which caused conflict between us.

Ding-dong ding-dong... my phone rang, assuming it was Xia Jing calling me. Without even checking, I picked it up and said, ”I knew you’d call me. Did you miss me?”

I was still cheerfully talking when Li Jiayuan heard me speaking to her like that, and she was initially taken aback.

When I didn’t hear a response, I asked, ”Why aren’t you speaking?”

Li Jiayuan snapped back to her senses and cheerfully said to me, ”Wow, you were so eager to hang up on me just now. Why the sudden change in attitude?”

As soon as Li Jiayuan spoke, I immediately hung up the phone with a slap.

Pounding his chest, he muttered to himself, ”Oh my, why is it this woman again; she’s truly relentless.”

Unwilling to let me hang up on her just like that, Li Jiayuan continued calling again and again. After a few tries, she gave up since Zhang Zhentian didn’t pick up any of her calls. Just as Li Jiayuan stopped, Xia Jing called Zhang Zhentian’s phone. Zhang Zhentian, really fed up, answered the call and, not waiting for Xia Jing to speak, blurted out, ”Li Jiayuan, are you crazy? Why keep calling me in the middle of the night?”

Xia Jing softly asked Zhang Zhentian, ”What are you saying? Are you on the phone with Li Jiayuan?”

Upon hearing Xia Jing’s voice, Zhang Zhentian inwardly groaned ”Oh no” and tried to explain to Xia Jing, but Xia Jing didn’t give Zhang Zhentian any chance to speak and directly hung up and turned off her phone.

Hearing the beep-beep-beep from the phone, Zhang Zhentian hurriedly called back, but only heard the sound of Xia Jing’s phone turned off.

Now, I can’t sleep. He’s angry, angry at himself for being so impulsive, for not clarifying who was calling before lashing out.

Li Jiayuan was overjoyed at home. She had long expected Xia Jing would call me, so she deliberately kept calling me. This way, whenever Xia Jing called, I’d think it was she calling and get angry, causing trouble again in the relationship that Xia Jing and I had just managed to ease.

Li Jiayuan had a sweet night’s sleep, but for Zhang Zhentian and Xia Jing, it was a sleepless night.

Anxious at home, I know Xia Jing must be angry; otherwise, she wouldn’t have turned off her phone for no reason. He was deeply vexed, wondering how he hadn’t thought that after just meeting Xia Jing in the afternoon, she would call him that night.
