Having managed the company for so many years, Ji Pengfei wasn't completely stupid. He understood something and said to Madam Ji.
"You just said Xiaxia likes Zeyu, and Ji Zhinan said dogs love shit, what does she mean by that?!"
Ji Pengfei spoke so bluntly, if Madam Ji still didn't understand, she would be a fool.
This Ji Zhinan is getting more and more arrogant!
The couple's faces were as black as the bottom of a pot.
——————
With the old man's consent, Ji Pengfei immediately went to Mu Zeyu's father, Mu Daxiang, to discuss the marriage, while Madam Ji started working on Mu Zeyu's mother, Wu Yan'e.
The Ji family was indeed one of the options for a marriage alliance, but the Mu couple still remembered what the doctor had said: Ji Zhixia had been burned and disfigured.
The Ji family has two daughters: Ji Zhixia and Ji Zhinan.
However, when Madam Mu, Wu Yan'e, thought of Ji Zhinan's despicable identity, she rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.
How dare someone as lowly as her marry into the Mu family? She doesn't even deserve it!
After comparing the options, Wu Yan'e preferred Ji Zhixia, at least she was a real young lady!
As for disfigurement... with today's advanced technology, cosmetic surgery and skin grafts are commonplace. At worst, you can spend more money to recover. As long as you have the money, nothing is a problem.
The two companies quickly finalized their agreement, but the rumors outside became increasingly outrageous. In order to stabilize the shareholders, the two companies held another press conference, this time with the two wives coming forward to explain.
“We did not mean to deceive you. You cannot understand our pain and the sorrow of having to put on a brave face without having experienced the pain of others.”
“Both children were indeed in an accident, and their injuries were very serious. We were devastated. I'm sure many of you here are parents too. As parents, seeing our children lying in the ICU, we have no other wish than for them to recover properly, that's all…”
"But as everyone has seen, as soon as a few rumors started circulating online, unscrupulous media outlets followed the trail to the hospital, resorting to any means to get a news article. How are our children supposed to get better like this!"
"We had no choice but to lie to everyone, but we didn't expect that a small lie would cause such a big fuss after it was exposed. So today we are publicly explaining and apologizing, and we hope that the reporters present will stop digging into the news and disturbing the child's recovery."
At the press conference, Mrs. Ji, Gou Xiuqin, and Mrs. Mu, Wu Yan'e, wept bitterly, their eyes red with tears. Ji Pengfei and Mu Daxiang, who were standing behind them, also had red eyes, which made many parents present feel quite uncomfortable.
The Mu couple are right. What parent wants reporters to extensively report on their child's accident? Wouldn't that just add two more wounds to an already broken heart?
If the Mu and Ji families had kept quiet and refused to admit it, everyone has already seen the consequences: their lies would have been exposed and widely publicized.
However, they chose to go public and openly pleaded in front of all the reporters that if anyone used Ji Zhixia and Mu Zeyu's serious injuries to create hype in the future, it would be their fault.
Admitting and apologizing is indeed the best way to salvage one's reputation. Now no one remembers that the Mu and Ji families conspired to deceive everyone; they only know that these were two pairs of pitiful parents suffering in silence.
"In addition, I would like to announce something else. My son, Mu Zeyu, and Ji Zhixia, the eldest daughter of the Ji family, have known each other since childhood. They are childhood sweethearts and have a very good relationship. They are now in love with each other... The accident involving both of them has been a huge blow to us. We have discussed it with the Ji family, and since the two children are in love, let them be together. Once they recover, we will definitely hold a grand engagement banquet for them..."
