Zhao Hong seemed to have expected that from Zhao Jinxing. He replied, “Sigh! Jinxing, business is not that good right now. We are collaborating with the Huo Family on several projects. If they get angry with us and withdraw the capital, our group will be finished. The Zhenting Group is your grandfather’s hard work throughout his life. Would you want to see it getting ruined?”

Zhao Hong knew Zhao Jinxing loved Zhuang Zhenting very much. He was confident that Zhao Jinxing would agree by saying so.

“Take your time and think about what I’ve said. There’s a dinner party at the Huo’s place tomorrow. Remember to be there.”

With that, Zhao Hong patted Zhao Jinxing’s shoulder and left without looking back.

“Buzz…”

Her phone vibrated. Zhao Jinxing took it out and opened the message.

“Zhao Jinxiu, born on August 03, 2001. Her father is Zhao Hong, while her mother is Chen Ping.”

It turned out that Zhao Hong didn’t only want to find a companion. It was nothing more than making his mistress public. More ironically, Zhao Jinxiu was two months older than Zhao Jinxing. Long before Zhao Jinxing’s mother became pregnant, Zhao Hong had already cheated on her!

He indeed disguised himself well over these years!

Immediately after that, Zhao Jinxing received a few more messages. Previously, she asked Uncle Li to investigate the assets under her name. Uncle Li had yet to come back and report to her.

When grandfather passed away, Zhao Jinxing was heartbroken. She asked Zhao Hong to handle the funeral and the inheritance. Out of her expectations, Zhao Hong used this opportunity to transfer all Zhuang Zhenting’s inheritance to the management trust. Zhao Jinxing had to get married before she could get the inheritance.

The conditions for Zhao Jinxing’s future husband and her marriage ceremony were listed out in strict details too.

On top of that, Zhao Hong stated in the entrustment that Zhao Jinxing had to be a filial guardian for Zhuang Zhenting for three years if she failed to get married within a month.

Three years…

By that time, the Zhenting Group might have been taken over by the Zhao Family. Even if she inherited it, she would only be an empty shell.

There were only two days left until the one-month deadline. Zhao Hong revealed his cards now and informed her about the Huo Family’s dinner party. It was obvious that he wanted her to marry the Huo Family!

Her biological father forced her into desperation without giving her a chance to fight back!

Zhao Jinxing was so angry that her whole body was trembling. She could not help but throw out her phone!

The afternoon sun shone on her back with a warm spring breeze. It was supposed to be a warm day, but Zhao Jinxing only felt chills over her body.

She stared at the tombstone in front of her in silence. The old man’s amiable face was printed on it. She took a deep breath and tried hard to hold back the tears in her eyes.

The Zhenting Group belonged to the Zhuang Family. She would do everything to protect it. It was just a marriage!

Even if the young master Huo was in a vegetative state, she would still marry him!

She wanted that adulterous couple to pay the price for their shameless acts!

Zhao Jinxing spent a while searching for her phone. Finally, she found her broken phone in front of a tombstone in the back row. She picked it up silently and then looked up. She had accidentally scratched the photo on the tombstone just now.

Although it was an unintentional mistake, Zhao Jinxing felt a little guilty.

She sincerely bowed to the tombstone. “I’m sorry, stranger granny. I didn’t do it on purpose. Hope you won’t mind.”

There were many weeds growing around the tombstone and not many offerings in front of it. Perhaps, no one came to pay their respects for some time, so the caretaker didn’t bother to clean it.

Zhao Jinxing squatted and pulled out all the weeds around the tomb. She took out a handkerchief and wiped the dust off the photo.

“Sorry to trouble you.”
