When the time came, Jiang Qi felt inexplicably resistant for some reason.
Is he really going to divorce Xu Lingyi? Jiang Qi asked himself in his heart. In fact, he didn't think there was anything wrong with maintaining the current stage.
He clearly wanted a divorce so much before, but now Jiang Qi doesn't understand what he wants.
"Ji Qi, the old man is in poor health. If he finds out that Xu Lingyi and I are getting divorced, will he be mad at me to death?"
Jiang Qi asked. As friends with Ji Qi for many years, he could only confide in him about his hesitation.
Ji Qixin was instantly upset, and from Jiang Qi's tone, it seemed that he regretted his decision.
Seeing that they were about to reach a critical step, Ji Qi couldn't let Jiang Qi go back.
"The old man and his men have managed the group for so many years, facing life and death, ups and downs, and so many difficulties. How could they be so angry that they die because of a small matter like yours? Jiang Qi, you underestimate them too much."
Jiang Qi frowned and said nothing for a long time, "You are right."
"But the old man is old after all. If he found out about this, it would be a big blow. As his grandson, wouldn't that be unfilial of me?"
Ji Qi's deep eyes narrowed slightly. Deep down in his heart, Jiang Qi probably didn't want to get divorced.
He walked to the French window and said firmly:
"Jiang Qi, your grandfather won't know about this. The person I found is very reliable. Your grandfather will definitely not notice that his ID has been stolen. Don't worry, as long as he doesn't know, there won't be any impact."
Jiang Qi on the other end of the phone remained silent, and Ji Qi's throat tightened.
"Jiang Qi, if you still have any concerns, you can tell me. If I can help, as a friend, I will do my best to help you. What are you hesitating about?"
Jiang Qi was silent. He lit a cigarette, and the smoke was thick.
"I have no idea."
Ji Qi's brows were furrowed, and the nerves in his brain were instantly tense, but there was no sound of incompetence in his voice.
Ji Qi clenched his palms, suppressing his inner tension. He seemed to tease Jiang Qi nonchalantly.
"I remember that you didn't want to get married the most before. Are you still the freedom-seeking Jiang Qi I know? If you don't divorce this time, Xu Lingyi might mistakenly think that you really want to be her husband and that you two will spend your whole lives together..."
Ji Qi asked a soul-searching question: "Jiang Qi, are you really willing to be bound for life? Are you ready to be responsible for another person for life and accompany her for life?"
Jiang Qi pressed his knuckles against his temples, gazing solemnly into the distance.
"To be honest, I haven't yet."
He had never thought about getting married before, let alone being responsible for others.
He just wants to pursue the life he wants.
Logically speaking, he would soon be free from the burden of Xu Lingyi and the constraints imposed on him by his family elders.
But at this moment, he did not feel relieved.
"Jiang Qi, since there isn't one, I suggest you get a divorce. This way, you can be free, and Xu Lingyi can be free too. What do you think?"
Jiang Qi stared out the window in a daze: "Logically, I should get a divorce, but for some reason, I feel inexplicably that I can't make a decision so quickly."
Ji Qi clenched his fists lightly, took a deep breath, and tensed his body, suppressing his tension and anger:
"Jiang Qi, things have come to this point now. There's nothing to worry about. Have you forgotten that your marriage was wrong from the very beginning? You and she were both forced into marriage."
"When you first asked for a divorce, Xu Lingyi agreed and was mentally prepared. Now you're asking for a divorce again, and she has no objection. If you change your mind, how do you want her to feel?"
"Jiang Qi, if you are a man, you can't go back on your word."
Jiang Qi was a little confused.
Ji Qi meant that if he didn't divorce, he would seem like a sinner.
"Ji Qi, I'm going to hang up first. Let's talk about this tomorrow."
Jiang Qi opened his mouth, pressing his temples. "Too many things happened today. I don't know who deliberately set me up and uploaded the photos of Lin Xuan and me online..."
He is now taking over Jiang's business, and this kind of negative news has also affected Jiang's stock price.
"Everyone, including my grandfather, called and yelled at me today. I need to sort things out. I'm a bit confused right now."
Jiang Qi has already said this, what else can he say? If he continues to guide him, Jiang Qi might become suspicious.
He could only nod: "Okay."
"Ji Qi, I need your help to suppress the news about me."
Logically speaking, with the Jiang family stepping in, these media outlets should have restrained themselves, but this time they went crazy.
"This matter must be someone behind the scenes..."
Ji Qi hung up the phone, his brows furrowed for a long time.
He instructed Special Assistant Wang, "Go and tell them again that the news about Jiang Qi will be played on repeat for the next two days..."
Even if it was unfair to Jiang Qi, he had to do this. He had done more than one unfair thing to him, so this one was not a big deal. Besides, now was a critical moment.
He was taught from childhood that if he wanted something, he had to fight for it.
Ji Qi was worried and called Xu Lingyi again.
"Did Jiang Qi contact you?"
Xu Lingyi: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I just wanted to confirm your thoughts. I just contacted Jiang Qi again, and he seems to be regretting it. If Jiang Qi regrets it, will you change your mind?"
Xu Lingyi shook her head and took a deep breath: "No, I've thought it through clearly. A forced melon won't be sweet."
