Chapter 37: Don ‘t Deny Your Ambition
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
How could the usually shrewd Zhang Baochan not see Xiang Fu’s concerns and ambitions?
Even though she was anxious to push this matter forward, Zhang Baochan was still calm and composed at this moment. There was a friendly smile on her face.
“Xiang Fu, the chairman thinks highly of you and is very satisfied with your performance. If you give birth to a great-grandson for him, everything will be fine.’
A sly glint flashed in Xiang Fu’s eyes. “Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Auntie. I’m also very grateful for the chairman’s love for me! However, as the saying goes, it’s better to tear down a temple than a marriage. I’m really ashamed to be a mistress.”
Zhang Baochan still had a smile on her face, exuding an amiable aura. “To tell you the truth, the chairman is not satisfied with Jin Xue. She has no respect for her elders and likes to cause trouble. Sooner or later, she will be chased out of the Jiang family. You will be Mrs. Jiang.”
Xiang Fu and Zhang Baochan looked at each other and said seriously, “Auntie,
I’ll say it again. I have no intention of being the mistress of Jiang Yu’s marriage. If I were the legitimate Mrs. Jiang, I guarantee that I would definitely provide the Jiang family with children and grandchildren.”
The corners of Zhang Baochan’s mouth twitched, and her eyes narrowed unconsciously. “Xiang Fu, think about it carefully. There’s no need to answer me in a hurry. If you really don’t want to bear Jiang Yu’s child, we can only find someone else.”
“Auntie, I’m willing to give birth to Jiang Yu’s child, but I can’t let my child be a nobody, let alone suffer. If you have a better candidate, I can only say that it’s a pity.”
Zhang Baochan remained silent and drank her soup.
Xiang Fu asked tentatively, “Is Jin Xue unwilling to give birth, or is she unable to give birth at all?”
Zhang Baochan stared at Xiang Fu with her deep eyes. “Doctor Tian said that her health isn’t good and asked her to drink Chinese medicine to recuperate. She wasn’t willing, and she even threatened to make Jiang Yu have no descendants.”
There was a smile in Xiang Fu’s eyes. “She’s too ruthless!”
“You don’t know, but I’m already worried sick. If the woman Jiang Yu married was you, I might have been able to have a grandson long ago. The chairman wouldn’t have been so angry with Jin Xue. The chairman’s attitude is very unyielding. Now, even if Jin Xue is willing to give birth to Jiang Yu’s child, he won’t allow her to do so, in case the descendants of the Jiang family are as uncultured as her.”
Xiang Fu smiled without saying anything.
She definitely wanted to be Mrs. Jiang. Only she could give birth to Jiang Yu’s child.
However, she could not lose her dominance in this way, let alone let others lead her by the nose.
What she wanted was to get Mrs. Jiang’s position legitimately, not to be infamous.
Besides, she wasn’t stupid. She wasn’t someone who could be complacent just because the Jiang family casually drew a few flatbreads for her. She wanted them to beg her to give birth to Jiang Yu’s child.
Judging from the situation last night, Jiang Yu wasn’t heartless to Jin Xue. He was protecting her status.
As long as Jiang Yu didn’t divorce Jin Xue, and Jiang Yu didn’t ask her to be Mrs. Jiang, it was useless no matter how much the Jiang family painted for her.
Xiang Fu did not deny that she was ambitious, but she would not rush forward brainlessly.
Seeing that Xiang Fu was silent, Zhang Baochan continued, “I can talk to the chairman. After the child is born, give the child 5% of the Jiang Corporation’s shares. We can sign an agreement.”
Without tangible benefits, everything was a lie. Xiang Fu would not be tempted.
“I still can’t promise you anything, but thank you for the offer. I also have my bottom line.”
“I’m so sorry!”
“Auntie, let’s eat first. Even if I can’t become a family with you, I will still do my best to serve the Jiang Corporation.”
“You’re very good. Jiang Yu really should marry you. I like you very much too. You’re the one who’s worthy of Jiang Yu. You’re the one who’s worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family..”
