Chapter 441
Zhou Feipeng was furious. He raised a wicked smile and said loudly, "What a pity about your fiancée. She doesn't seem to care about you much."
"Mr. Ji, you probably don't know, but your little fiancée has been pursuing other men before, including my brother! Zhou Yu'an!"
Zhou Feipeng put his arm around the shoulder of the man next to him.
He continued with a laugh, "Your fiancée sent my brother love letters when they were in school, and after graduation she followed him around like a shadow."
How do you think she got into the car accident? She heard my brother was going out of town, and she rushed to catch up with him in her car, which led to the accident!
"Tsk, like a bootlicker. Only you, President Ji, would treasure a woman like that! Hahaha!"
Zhou Feipeng laughed loudly, and his clueless lackey beside him laughed along with him.
Zhou Feipeng, engrossed in his witty banter, failed to notice that apart from himself and his underlings, no one else was laughing, and the atmosphere had even become tense.
People glanced quickly at Ji Hengchuan's face, then either lowered their heads or pretended to talk to the people next to them, acting as if they hadn't heard anything.
Ji Hengchuan turned his gaze to Zhou Feipeng's so-called brother, Zhou Yu'an. He had never seen this person in City A. He had heard that Zhou Feipeng's family was related to the Zhou family in Beijing, so Ji Hengchuan guessed that this person must be from Beijing.
"Zhou Feipeng!" Zhou Yu'an warned calmly. The usually arrogant Zhou Feipeng immediately shut up and quickly removed his arm.
Zhou Yu'an looked back at Ji Hengchuan. One was refined and calm, the other mature and reserved. Both were the pride of heaven, and they could sense each other's extraordinary nature.
Zhou Yu'an wore frameless glasses, his sharp eyes hidden behind the lenses, which softened his sharp edge and made him look much gentler.
But only those who have dealt with him know how terrifying and shrewd he is.
His purpose in coming to City A was to expand the Zhou family's market presence there. He had already researched the situation beforehand and knew about Ji Hengchuan, who would be his biggest rival.
Ji Hengchuan has the classic handsome face of a man, with sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, a sharp jawline, a face straight out of a model, and the physique of an international male model.
But what stands out even more is his calm and profound gaze, as well as his imposing aura, which makes him impossible to ignore and even more impossible to be disrespectful to.
Only an idiot like Zhou Feipeng would dare to provoke the other party so often, right? Zhou Yu'an curled his lips.
Zhou Yu'an stood up and gently touched the glass in Ji Hengchuan's hand with the glass in his hand.
"Zhou Yu'an." He chuckled softly and downed the wine in his glass in one gulp.
"Ji Hengchuan." Ji Hengchuan also finished his drink. Their eyes met, and although they seemed not to say anything, they said a lot.
In the future, Zhou Yu'an will inevitably have to deal with Ji Hengchuan in City A. The two can be rivals or partners; there's a long road ahead.
After the drinks were finished, Zhou Yu'an and Ji Hengchuan sat down on the sofa together, and the people on the sofa quickly got up to make room for the two big shots.
Zhou Yu'an said calmly, "What Zhou Feipeng said is true, but it's not as exaggerated as it sounds. That girl is my junior from school. I didn't know she was President Ji's fiancée."
Zhou Yu'an's casual tone indicated his indifference to the matter and also provided Ji Hengchuan with an explanation.
He has no relationship with Ji Hengchuan's fiancée and doesn't care about her, so Ji Hengchuan can rest assured.
However, Zhou Yu'an was still quite surprised.
In his opinion, Ji Hengchuan didn't seem like a devoted lover. Logically, the other person should be the same type of person as him, prioritizing career and considering women dispensable, and would never value love so much.
He didn't understand why Ji Hengchuan was so infatuated with his paralyzed fiancée.
Zhou Yu'an guessed that there must be something going on, or that Ji Hengchuan really needed the help of his fiancée's family.
Zhou Yu'an's guess was correct. The reason Ji Hengchuan kept the marriage contract was not because of love or the cooperation between the two families, but simply because he used the marriage contract as a shield.
With Ji Hengchuan's abilities, he can develop his company on his own and has no interest in forming a marriage alliance.
His marriage was not a transaction, and he had little interest in women.
But his family kept pressuring him to get married, and there were countless women outside who wanted to marry him. In order to deal with his family and the outside world, he simply said that he would stay by his fiancée's side and act as if he deeply loved her.
In his original plan, he would marry his fiancée step by step. Although he did not understand love, he understood responsibility.
He will have a simple, harmonious, and warm little family, and in the future, he will have lovely children.
Unfortunately, his fiancée became a vegetable. He didn't plan to find someone else to settle down with and live a mundane family life. He felt that being single was fine.
Therefore, he publicly declared that he did not want to abandon his fiancée when she was in trouble. He said he loved her and that this was to increase credibility and also out of a sense of responsibility as a fiancé.
He helped contact the world's most authoritative doctors to treat the other person and would visit them in the hospital from time to time.
However, he has been quite busy lately and hasn't been there for a while.
Ji Hengchuan lowered his eyes, concealing the expression in them. His mother hadn't mentioned asking him to break off the engagement and find someone else for a long time. Perhaps she understood his feelings and gave up.
Ji Hengchuan swirled his wine glass, his thoughts drifting far away, when suddenly a gentle male voice came from beside him.
"Young people, what are you talking about?"
Ji Hengchuan looked up and saw that the chairman of the Lu Group had walked over at some point.
The other party was much older than him and was a good friend of Ji's father. He usually cooperated with the Ji and Zhou families.
Ji Hengchuan stood up to greet them, and Zhou Feipeng, Zhou Yu'an, and the people present followed suit.
After the greetings were finished, Zhou Feipeng burst into laughter, "We were talking about President Ji, who is so devoted to his fiancée that he has been paralyzed for 5 years and still hasn't abandoned her."
Zhou Feipeng's intention was to mock, after all, Ji Hengchuan was too perfect, and he seemed to have nothing else to say, so he could only target his fiancée and attack her.
But Chairman Lu sincerely exclaimed, "Hengchuan is a man of his word and a responsible person. My son should really learn from Hengchuan."
As Chairman Lu spoke, Zhou Feipeng's face gradually darkened. Before he could reply, Chairman Lu suddenly changed the subject.
"However, Hengchuan's long wait has finally come to an end. The Rong family's little girl has finally woken up. It seems that God is looking out for you two, and the lovers will eventually be together!"
Chairman Lu chuckled, shocking everyone.
"Awake?" Zhou Feipeng exclaimed.
Chairman Lu was a little confused. "You didn't know? He woke up three months ago."
Chairman Lu looked at Ji Hengchuan questioningly, and just by looking at Ji Hengchuan's expression, it was clear that Ji Hengchuan was indeed unaware of the matter.
As if he had caught Ji Hengchuan by the tail, Zhou Feipeng immediately burst into loud laughter, "No way? No way? Mr. Ji, you didn't even know your fiancée had woken up?"
So you don't love me at all? You didn't even tell me when you woke up?
Or rather, was your sincerity all an act? You haven't visited your fiancée in so long? If you had, you would have known she was awake, right?
