Chapter 1152 The Biggest Winner
Pei Ziheng said: "I'll get the proof when I'm well. From now on, this child will be my eldest son, the future heir to the emperor." His expression was very calm, and his voice was steady, as if he was talking about something that couldn't be more ordinary. , rather than a major decision made suddenly that affects the lifeline of the entire family or even the business world.
How many stormy seas and bloody storms were hidden in this understatement of decision.
Xia Ling finally found her voice: "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
He looked at her: "Aren't you happy?"
"No, of course I'm happy..." she said, "It's just, it's just that this happened so suddenly, I feel like I'm dreaming, and it's not real at all." Not long ago, he forced her to be his mistress for life , I didn’t expect that things would turn around so quickly and everything would be different.
She cautiously stretched out a hand and touched his hand stroking her long hair, timidly, wanting to see if the man who said these words really existed.
He smiled lovingly, "Silly girl."
She closed her eyes, meekly enjoying his caress, and murmured: "I'm scared."
He knew what she was afraid of, which was that happiness came too suddenly and that everything was an illusion. After pondering for a while, he told her: "Things have come to this point, no matter how I back down, my uncle will harm you. I must completely eliminate his power to ensure the safety of your mother and child. In such a short time, there is no It is possible to find a suitable marriage partner, and when I completely control the Emperor, marriage or not will become less important—at least not as important as it is now. So, Xiao Ling, let’s get married."
He paused slightly, as if he was speaking to Xia Ling, but also to himself: "If I can't even protect the woman I love, who will follow me in the future?"
Is that so?
It turned out that it was Pei Zhenyuan who was self-defeating and forced him to take this path. Then should she thank Pei Zhenyuan. Imagining the old man's frantic appearance, a smile appeared on the corner of Xia Ling's lips, and she said, "You still want to beat him, he's so bad that he crashed you like this."
As he spoke, his eye circles were a little red again.
"Crying so much," he smiled lowly and pinched her face. "You are pregnant with a boy, my eldest son. What if he cries like his mother in the future?"
She suddenly felt shy and opened her mouth to bite his hand. Hum, how dare you laugh at her.
Pei Ziheng did not dodge, and allowed her to bite his finger with her fine white teeth, while ripples of tenderness filled his heart. He remembered the well-known story about the little prince and the fox. The fox said, if you tame me, my life will be full of sunshine.
He and she, who tamed whom?
From that day on, Pei Ziheng recharged his energy and tried his best to take care of his body. During his recuperation period, he also painstakingly planned a whole set of plans on how to deal with Pei Zhenyuan and eliminate dissidents. Once he was discharged from the hospital, he deployed layers upon layers, and all his confidants and subordinates took action, like spreading a vast net.
He himself accompanied Xia Ling to hold a press conference and told everyone: "We have decided to get married."
At the press conference, he was well-dressed, with a ruby tie clip and cufflinks on his finely sewn formal suit, which complemented her jewelry of the same style and made her look stunning.
She intertwined her fingers with him and smiled sweetly and happily.
A reporter made an attack and asked aggressively: "Mr. Pei, Ms. Xia, with all due respect, even if you don't like Ms. Wang Jingwan, Ms. Wang's body is still alive, and you are going to marry someone new. Isn't it inappropriate?"
Pei Ziheng had expected such a problem a long time ago, so he responded calmly: "In fact, this is also the wish of Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang learned that Xiaoling was pregnant, and he didn't want to delay the child's birthright because of Jingwan's death. Uncle Wang said It would be too pitiful if the child was born under the name of an illegitimate child, and urged us to get married as soon as possible. He also said that if Jing Wan had a spirit in heaven, she would definitely not see someone's happiness being delayed because of herself."
He always had a steady demeanor, but now he said these words in a low voice, which was very convincing. In fact, what does the Wang family mean by this? The Wang family was just forced to agree to cooperate with him in acting due to his intimidation.
The reporters didn't know the truth, and all praised the Wang family for their high moral integrity. Seeing that I couldn't dig out any information, I made all positive and blessing reports.
Pei Zhenyuan learned about their engagement through the news.
At that time, he was having lunch, saw the afternoon newspaper, and smashed his plate in anger. "It's really unreasonable! I'm so angry!" The old man jumped on his feet and said, "This evil obstacle... this evil obstacle!"
All the subordinates and servants were silent.
After voicing his anger, the old man asked angrily: "Where is Pei Ziheng? I want to see him!"
He brought someone into the chairman's office angrily, pointed at Pei Ziheng and yelled, "You are so courageous! How dare you announce that you are marrying an unmarried and shameless bitch!"
Pei Ziheng was combing Xia Ling's loose long hair on the sofa by the French window. The girl was nestling lazily in his arms. Tired from the morning press conference, she was yawning drowsily.
He glanced at Pei Zhenyuan: "Get out."
"What did you say?!" Pei Zhenyuan jumped.
"I'm telling you to get out," Pei Ziheng told him coldly and clearly, "Don't hinder Xiao Ling's rest."
"You... You're out of order!" Pei Zhenyuan was about to say something, but Pei Ziheng had already rang the bell to let the secretary and bodyguards in, and half dragged and half dragged the old man out.
Xia Ling watched this scene silently, and waited for everyone in the office to leave before asking him: "Is this really good? Are you afraid that the old man will be forced to usurp your position?"
"Since I dare to provoke him, I am naturally prepared." Pei Ziheng's voice was still steady and he continued to comb her hair. The wedding news in the morning was actually a declaration of war, which meant that the emperor's old and new factions had officially declared war. The winner would be the king and the loser would be the enemy. They would not give up until there was a winner.
Soon, news about the Emperor was flying all over the news. Every headline is horrifying, such as rich families fighting for power, empires changing, grandparents turning against each other, and confidantes making trouble... All the media gossip about this incident with relish, and speculate that in this war between grandparents and grandchildren , who will be the final winner?
However, no matter who is the winner, everyone cannot deny that——
Xia Ling is the biggest winner.
The helpless orphan girl more than ten years ago finally got her wish and married into a rich family. She also became pregnant with Pei Ziheng's eldest son, realizing a perfect leap from the bottom to the upper class.
