Scumbag Forcing Me to Divorce? Watch Me Turn Around and Marry a Powerful Capital Tycoon! - Chapter 43

Wang Yuan spoke with absolute confidence.

No one knew Jiang Ning better than she did.

Sure, Jiang Ning had put on a brave front today in front of her and Wang Qingke. But if the person standing before her was Cheng Zijun, her entire attitude would crumble in an instant.

The moment Jiang Ning laid eyes on Cheng Zijun, she would lose all sense of self—crying, begging for his forgiveness, even pleading to remarry him.

And honestly…

Wang Yuan was starting to feel a little shaken.

Even if that so-called “lucky aura” Jiang Ning carried was fake, the fact that she had Shen Jingshu behind her was very real. Bringing Jiang Ning back would only benefit the Cheng Corporation—never harm it.

After all, Shen Jingshu was Shen Jingnian’s elder sister, and she adored Jiang Ning. If Jiang Ning had whispered a few words in front of her, Shen Jingshu would surely put in a good word for the Cheng Corporation.

With her support, they wouldn’t have to worry about missing out on major contracts anymore.

Hearing his mother’s words, Cheng Zijun sneered, “You want me to call that little village girl back? She’s not worthy!”

Jiang Ning?

Did she deserve him to personally invite her?

What if she used that as leverage to force him into remarriage?

Wang Yuan frowned. “Then what exactly are you planning to do?”

The corners of Cheng Zijun’s lips curved into a smug smile. “Don’t worry, Mom. The day of my engagement to Shuyi is almost here. She’ll come crawling back to me of her own accord. By then, she’ll be completely at my mercy! If I tell her to go east, she won’t dare take a single step west.”

Confidence radiated in his eyes.

Wang Yuan nodded slowly. “You’re right. Jiang Ning loves you so much. On the day of your engagement banquet with Shuyi, she’ll definitely lose her composure and come storming in.”

The very thought made Wang Yuan’s lips curl with satisfaction.

She could already picture Jiang Ning kneeling before her, begging for forgiveness.

“By the way, Mom,” Cheng Zijun added, “did you prepare Shuyi’s gown?”

To him, Zhang Shuyi was his one true love.

On their engagement day, he refused to let her suffer even the slightest slight. No matter the cost, he had to give Zhang Shuyi the very best.

It had to outshine the banquet that Old Master Cheng once prepared for him and Jiang Ning.

“Don’t worry. It’s already ordered. The gown will be flown in from overseas by tomorrow morning.”

“Good.”

Cheng Zijun nodded with satisfaction.

All that was left was to wait for the grand day to arrive.

…

Meanwhile…

Back at home, Jiang Ning handed a shopping bag to her grandfather. “Grandpa, this is a set of clothes I bought for you. Go try them on.”

“Why waste money on this? I already have more clothes than I can wear!” Though he scolded her for being extravagant, Old Master Jiang still beamed as he carried the clothes off to his room.

A few minutes later, he emerged, looking pleased. “Ning Ning, don’t I look several years younger in this?”

“Yes,” Jiang Ning nodded with a smile. “Grandpa, you look wonderful in it. Is the size okay?”

“Perfect! Fits like a glove.” He chuckled. “You know, one of my colleagues’ daughters also bought him a shirt like this. I remember thinking it looked quite nice on him too.”

He had been secretly envious back then.

Who knew his granddaughter would buy him one as well? And not just one, but several!

Jiang Ning glanced at the trousers and asked, “Grandpa, aren’t the pant legs a little long?”

“They’re fine, not long at all. I can just roll them up.” His heart swelled with joy. Clothes bought by his granddaughter—how could he not be happy? “But from now on, don’t waste money like this.”

“Grandpa, your granddaughter is earning money now. All you need to do is enjoy life. By the way, did you tell your boss about resigning yet?”

She had mentioned the matter several times before.

But her grandfather always hesitated—at his age, finding stable work again wouldn’t be easy.

Smiling, he said, “Didn’t you promise to buy me a big villa? Once you do, I’ll resign right away.”

Jiang Ning couldn’t win against his stubbornness. She finally agreed, knowing that day wasn’t far off.

The next day at noon…

Walking home from work with his colleagues, Old Master Jiang spotted Manager Zhang Tao leading two unfamiliar men into their neighborhood.

Curious, he asked, “Manager Zhang, where are you taking them?”

A colleague answered first, “I heard a transfer student at No.1 High School scored exceptionally well on the exam. The principal and director are afraid she’ll slip away, so they came here to find her. But since they don’t know which building she lives in, they asked Manager Zhang to guide them.”

He added with a grin, “By the way, Old Jiang, I heard the girl’s surname is also Jiang. She’s called Jiang Ning.”

At this, the other colleagues broke into envy. “No.1 High! That’s the best school in the city. Whichever family raised such a child—why, their ancestors must be blessing them from above!”

No.1 High.
A transfer student.
A top scorer.
And the name… Jiang Ning?

Old Master Jiang’s eyes widened in disbelief. He turned to his colleague. “Old Wu, what did you say her name was?”

“Jiang Ning.”

“You’re sure?” he pressed.

“Of course. I heard it with my own ears!” Old Wu replied.

The moment he confirmed it, Old Master Jiang’s heart nearly leapt out of his chest. He rushed forward, calling out, “Manager Zhang! Wait!”

“What is it, Old Jiang?” Zhang Tao turned around.

Unable to hide his excitement, Old Master Jiang said, “You’re looking for Jiang Ning, right?”

“That’s right. Why? Do you know her?”

A proud smile spread across his face. “I’m Jiang Ning’s grandfather!”

“You’re her grandfather? You mean the top scorer is your granddaughter?”

“Exactly!” Old Master Jiang’s voice trembled with pride. His chest felt as though it might burst.

But Zhang Tao, who had always looked down on Jiang Ning, couldn’t help but scoff. His eyes glinted with disdain. “Don’t make a fool of yourself, Old Jiang. There are plenty of people with the same name. Your granddaughter? She dropped out for a whole year! She’d be lucky to make it into an average school.”

After all, the star student Jiang Ning had scored a jaw-dropping 710 points!

As for Old Jiang’s granddaughter? She was nothing but a country bumpkin.

Forget 710—she couldn’t even reach the 600-point cutoff for No.1 High.

To Zhang Tao, it was obviously just a case of the same name.

Old Master Jiang’s face darkened. “How can you be so sure it’s just the same name? What if it really is my Ning Ning?”

“No way!” Zhang Tao snorted. “If it isn’t just a coincidence, then I’ll stand on my head and eat shit!”
