The two looked at the news on the school forum in disbelief.
These headlines are getting more and more sensational.
This mutually destructive approach suggests that Sun Qing was truly driven to desperation and had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.
"Sun Qing is actually live-streaming, and she's even accusing Chen Yang of the Chen Group of being irresponsible, causing the Chen Group's stock to plummet?" Xi Ran said.
Chu Jiang frowned as well, "What exactly is Sun Qing up to? She even came up with a way to hurt both sides, that's ruthless!"
Chu Jiang was secretly relieved that Sun Qing hadn't agreed to be his girlfriend back then.
He really couldn't agree with some of Sun Qing's recent actions and ideas.
This is completely mind-blowing.
Xi Ran disagreed, saying, "Sun Qing's approach was ill-considered. It's like killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of your own. She's incredibly stupid!"
"Sun Qing was dating Chen Yang with marriage in mind, right? Otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten pregnant with Chen Yang's baby so accidentally. She thought she could use it to blackmail him into marrying into a wealthy family. She didn't expect Chen Yang to turn his back on her so ruthlessly and abandon her and the child. That's why she came up with such a crazy idea."
"Not only did she retaliate against Chen Yang, but she also dragged that innocent girl into it. In her Douyin live stream, she accused Chen Yang of having a fiancée and a family, yet still seducing innocent women. That's really outrageous. Does Chen Yang really have a fiancée? Or is it something Sun Qing made up to gain sympathy?"
Chu Jiang nodded, "Chen Yang does have a fiancée. The two families arranged the marriage when they turned eighteen and planned to get married after graduation. The two don't have any feelings for each other, and they go to different schools, each doing their own thing and not bothering each other."
Xi Ran looked incredulous. "Do all rich people play this high-stakes game?"
Chu Jiang also took Xi Ran's hand and immediately assured her, "I'm different from them. I'm a breath of fresh air among the rich."
Xi Ran shook off Chu Jiangyi's hand and said sarcastically, "Who can say for sure? Maybe you'll fall for another girl soon, or suddenly a fiancée will appear or something. I won't be as stupid as Sun Qing, coming up with such a stupid way to deal with people. I'll make you regret lying to me!"
Chu Jiang also assured, "How can you compare me to scum like Chen Yang? We are completely different people. Don't overthink it. My parents are very open-minded and want me to find a girl I like to spend the rest of my life with. After all, life is long, and spending a lifetime with someone you don't like is mutual torture."
"They won't interfere with my marriage. Besides, the Chu Group is a large and powerful company, and it doesn't need to sacrifice its children's marriage to consolidate its position."
"Then why is Chen Yang's family different?"
Chu Jiang didn't want to tell Xi Ran these things, but in order to dispel her doubts, make her feel safe, and help her regain her confidence, he had to say it.
"Twenty years ago, the Chen Group was very profitable and could survive without relying on anyone. However, with the development of the times, traditional industries were gradually replaced, and it had to find a like-minded ally."
"Even if you seek allies, you don't have to sacrifice your children's happiness, do you?"
"This? Sigh! People only help each other without hesitation when the relationship is closer, you know?"
Xi Ran nodded, seemingly understanding, "How can you talk about cooperation if you don't trust each other? How hypocritical!"
Chu Jiang shrugged helplessly, "So the marriage alliance came about. After all, they're in-laws, so they won't be too wary and will feel more at ease!"
Xi Ran sighed helplessly. The life of these rich young masters and ladies wasn't as good as she had imagined. At the very least, she couldn't make decisions about her marriage.
Just like Chen Yang and his fiancée, they didn't like each other, but they had to be tied together for their own interests.
How pitiful!
The rest of my life is so long, how am I going to get through it!
"So they each went their own way before getting married, and then settled down to their families after marriage?"
Chu Jiang raised an eyebrow. This girl's comprehension was indeed strong; she had only given a casual hint, yet she had already grasped the essence of the problem.
"Your understanding is correct! That's a good summary!"
Xi Ran scoffed, "Chen Yang abandoned Sun Qing without hesitation, even his own child, just for unnecessary trouble, right?"
Chu Jiang smiled and remained silent.
How is he supposed to answer that?
You can't exactly say you're afraid of fighting over the property, can you?
Protect the interests of all parties!
After all, illegitimate children now have inheritance rights!
Chu Jiang also rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.
"Alright! Don't think about it so much. I would never do that to you, never. You are the wife I've chosen. I will only marry you, and there will be no one else."
Chu Jiangyi reached out and smoothed Xi Ran's furrowed brows. "Don't overthink it. Let's go downstairs for dinner, or Chu Jiangning will come and bang on the door in a bit."
No sooner had Chu Jiang finished speaking than the door began to bang loudly.
Xi Ran smiled but remained silent. Couldn't this girl have been a little gentler when she knocked on the door? She was startled.
