Throughout the meal, Jiang Cheng frowned slightly. If he had known that it would be such a troublesome matter, he would not have come, especially when he was facing such a difficult character. In short, his instinct told him that nothing good would come out of being entangled with Cha Simin.
About 40 minutes later, lunch was over.
Jiang Cheng stood up and said with a smile, "Then I won't be staying here any longer. Alice is still waiting for me to return. I won't agree to Mr. Chasmin's conditions. After all, I'll be leaving France soon. There are many things waiting for me to do. That's all. I'll take my leave now." After saying that, he turned around and left. He wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. No, it should be said that he wanted to stay away from Cha Simin.
"Leader Jiang, wait!" Cha Simin stopped Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng suddenly stopped walking out of the house. He turned slightly to look at Cha Simin, then squeezed out a smile and said, "Is there anything else?"
"This … I still have something to talk to Leader Jiang alone. Let's choose another time and place. What do you think?" Cha Simin said seriously.
"You want to talk to me alone? Is it inconvenient to say it here? "Jiang Cheng was surprised.
Cha Simin did not reply. She just nodded her head heavily.
Jiang Cheng thought for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curled up as he said, "Alright, then leave me your contact information. When I'm free, I'll contact you."
Cha Simin did not show any dissatisfaction. She gave the bodyguard named Mai Dela a look. Mai Dela immediately walked over to Jiang Cheng. On the way, he took out a black business card from the inside pocket of his suit. He handed it to Jiang Cheng and said expressionlessly, "Please accept it. You can contact us with this."
Jiang Cheng took the business card in his hand. This thing was not so much a business card as a card. It was hard, just like a bank card, but very thin. It had a frosted texture in his hand. It was black with a string of golden letters and numbers. It looked very simple and monotonous. If the English name was translated, it would be — Black Knife.
Putting the business card into his pocket, Jiang Cheng nodded and prepared to leave again. However, he didn't expect Barter to stop him again, forcing him to stop with a bitter smile.
"Jiang Cheng, when are you and Alice getting married?" Barter asked.
Jiang Cheng shook his head. "I haven't thought about it yet, and I don't remember promising to marry Alice."
"But, you … how could you!" Barter wanted to say something but stopped. He frowned and seemed a little impatient. He also revealed a lot of dissatisfaction. He was extremely dissatisfied with Jiang Cheng's answer. He was on the verge of getting angry. Looking at his expression, he seemed to be saying, "How can you take advantage of Alice and not do the right thing!"
"Dad, you can stay here and talk about the cooperation with the Purton family. I'll send Jiang Cheng out. I'll definitely ask about this matter." Pelia quickly stood up and said. Then, she immediately ran to Jiang Cheng.
Pelia came to Jiang Cheng's side, held his arm and said, "Let's go out and talk." While speaking, she forcefully pulled his arm and walked out.
Jiang Cheng wanted to stay here and make it clear to Barter that he might not necessarily marry Alice. No, it should be said that he most likely wouldn't marry Alice. In short, the chances of him marrying Alice were very slim. He already had Mino, a man with a family. However, he was forcefully pulled by Pelia, so he had no choice but to follow her out.
When they arrived outside the villa, Pelia let go of Jiang Cheng's arm. She frowned and said, "You and Alice already have a deep relationship, don't you? Why are you still saying this now?! "
"What?!" Jiang Cheng was a little annoyed. He had never promised to marry Alice from the beginning to the end. What did she mean by saying such things?
"When I came back last time, I told my father that you and Alice already have a good relationship, and I believe that you will get married soon. My father was very happy to hear that, but now you still … Hmph!" Pelia said with dissatisfaction and snorted coldly.
"I … I …" Jiang Cheng was a little confused. You said it yourself. What does it have to do with me? Do I have to act according to your thoughts?! After thinking for a while, he turned around and walked to the car, "Don't mention this anymore. I won't act according to any of your guesses."
"Hey, wait!" Pelia anxiously chased after him.
Jiang Cheng opened the car door and got in. When he was about to start the car and leave, Pelia got in the passenger seat and slammed the door.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Jiang Cheng's hand that was about to start the car stopped. He helplessly turned his head and looked at Pelia. He really didn't want to be entangled with that problem anymore. Even if one day … even if one day he really married Alice, it would be purely his own subjective will and not according to other people's thoughts.
"You like Alice, right? Tell me clearly, do you like Alice or not? Please answer me! "Pelia asked anxiously.
Jiang Cheng was silent for a while and answered, "… I like her, but it's just a brother to his sister."
"That doesn't matter. It's fine as long as you like her. Now answer me, why don't you want to marry Alice and fulfill her wish? The time that Alice can live in this world is getting shorter and shorter." Pelia gritted her teeth and said with resentment. She was already blaming her sister. Why did she like such a man? She was so wishy-washy and not straightforward at all!
"Sigh …" Jiang Cheng let out a long sigh. He turned to look at Pelia and said helplessly, "I already have a wife. It's impossible for me to marry another one without considering her feelings. Moreover, the relationship between me and Alice hasn't reached that level yet. Compared to the relationship between a man and a woman, we are more like brother and sister."
"Alright, I'll ask that Mino for her opinion. As for the relationship between you and Alice, it doesn't matter at all. Even if you are brother and sister, so what? You are not related by blood. So even if you get married and have children, there won't be any problem. "
"Have … have children!?" Jiang Cheng stared at Pelia with his eyes wide open. He was completely stunned. What the hell? He remembered that when they first met, she also mentioned that Alice had children. Why! Why was she so eager to let him and Alice have children?!
"Don't joke around! How can I … have children with Alice … "Jiang Cheng said sternly.
Pelia lowered her head and remained silent for a while. She then raised her head and looked at Jiang Cheng, "I'm not joking with you. This is what Dad wants. He really wants to see Alice have a child in this world. People call Dad the Black Bull. He is very patient with you now, but when he loses his patience, no one can guarantee what kind of crazy things he will do to achieve this goal."
"Alice's genes … will be passed on to the child. Your thoughts … are too selfish." Jiang Cheng frowned. He suddenly realized that Barter treated Alice as the continuation of his wife's life. Now, he wanted to let Alice have a child. This was a great but selfish love.
"No! It won't be passed on to the child! " Pelia shook her head affirmatively, "Alice's disease is a recessive genetic defect. It will only be passed on through generations. So, her child will not have this disease. There is only a small chance within two or three generations."
Jiang Cheng was silent. After a while, he said, "Isn't this selfish? There is still a chance for Alice's child to have a child, isn't there? "
"Yes, but don't forget that technology is developing. By that time, this disease may already be treatable. With our Pallard family's wealth and status, as long as this technology appears, do you think we won't be able to afford it or enjoy it?" Pelia argued with a righteous tone.
Jiang Cheng was speechless. Indeed, as Pelia said, the disease could not be an obstacle to having a child.
"According to the number of days, Alice still has three years and more than a hundred days to live. You must let her see her child before she leaves this world. Alice once told me that she hopes to see her child. So, including the pregnancy and the growth of the child, you still have a year and a half to marry Alice and get pregnant!" Pelia said fiercely with a hint of a commanding tone. However, after a while, she became a little weak. She looked at Jiang Cheng and said with a hint of pleading, "Originally, there was no need to rush, but Alice only has … this little time left."
This sentence was like a knife cutting into Jiang Cheng's heart. He had almost forgotten that Alice only had this little time left.
Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth and thought for a long time. Finally, he said, "I … I can't do this …"
"Enough! I don't want to hear anymore! " Pelia interrupted Jiang Cheng with a stern voice. She then opened the door and jumped out of the car. Standing beside the opened door, she bent down and looked at Jiang Cheng. She said, "In a year and a half, if you are still not married and Alice is still not pregnant, then I will use the Pallade family's means. I will never let my sister leave this world with regrets! Absolutely not! "
"The Pallade family's means?" Jiang Cheng's expression changed. He said with a vigilant look, "If you dare to hurt my family, then I will not sit back and watch!"
Pelia pointed at Jiang Cheng's nose. "I will hurt your son and daughter! I will use technology to help you and Alice make a test tube baby, no, twins! She will be the surrogate! I really hate … why does my sister like you!? "
"What?!" Jiang Cheng suddenly sat up from his seat and looked at Pelia in disbelief. This, this is too cruel, right? Alice is still a virgin. A virgin as a surrogate mother, this is really … Although it is her own baby, this is even more strange. She did not have sex with him and yet she is pregnant with her own child.
