Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 727: Chapter 716: Forcing Qiao Jing to Make a Choice

Zhan Qipei pursed his thin lips, and with his dark eyes, he just watched Qiao Jing, not saying a word.

Seeing Zhan Qipei’s stubborn demeanor, Qiao Jing understood the man’s mindset and, in the end, let out a

helpless sigh.

"I'll go with you."

She knew the significance of these business gatherings lay in facilitating conversation and cooperation between

companies, and if Zhan Qipei went, he could secure many deals.

But this damned man, Zhan Qipei, actually planned not to go if she didn't, either.

Only then did Zhan Qipei’s eyes light up, and he couldn't help but speed up the car a bit.

In the evening, at the banquet entrance.

Qiao Jing glanced at the guests coming and going around her and then at Zhan Qipei before she took the

initiative to push open the car door and step out first.

"You go park the car, I'll wait for you here."

Zhan Qipei nodded, responded, and then drove off to the underground parking lot.

Meanwhile, Qiao Jing stood at the entrance, waiting for Zhan Qipei’s return.

After waiting for a while and not seeing Zhan Qipei, she took out her mobile phone, ready to send a message and

ask.

Just then, Qiao Jing distinctly felt someone approach her.

She paused in her typing, thinking Zhan Qipei had returned, and looked up at the person.

"Let's go in—"

She hadn't finished speaking when she realized that the person in front of her wasn’t Zhan Qipei, but Wu Xirui.

Meeting Qiao Jing’s gaze, Wu Xirui flashed his signature smile, looking at her with eyes crinkled in mirth.

"Long tno see."

Qiao Jing gave a slight nod in response.

Observing the entrance to the banquet hall behind Qiao Jing, Wu Xirui’s smile deepened.

"Attending the banquet? Aren’t you the one who hates places where you need to show your face the most?"

Qiao Jing pursed her red lips, speaking slowly:

"It's none of your business. If there is nothing else, I'm going in."

If Zhan Qipei cback to find her still chatting with Wu Xirui, that damned man would definitely get jealous.

To avoid that situation, she chose to enter the venue ahead of time.

Seeing Qiao Jing heading straight inside, Wu Xirui followed quickly, stepping in front of her.

This time, he didn’t beat around the bush but got straight to the point:

"Qiao Jing, the Zhan Family and me, which will you choose? Or are you saying you'll remain neutral, not getting

involved in our affairs?"

This time, he was fully prepared, not planning to play small tricks like before.

This time, he was ready to either take over every industry and collaboration of Zhan Corporation, or set up a

company in opposition to Zhan Qipei.

Hearing Wu Xirui speak, Qiao Jing furrowed her brows slightly and subconsciously raised her hand to touch her

slightly protruding belly.

"What if | choose the Zhan Family?"

In such a situation, whether for the sake of the baby in her womb or considering that everyone in the Zhan

Family had been so good to her, she would choose the Zhan Family in her heart.

She was, after all, somewhat aware of smatters between Wu Xirui and the Zhan Family. His asking her this

question meant that there were significant moves to come.

Seeing Qiao Jing had made her choice, the smile disappeared from Wu Xirui’s face, replaced with a forced grin.

He laughed lowly.

"So it seems, my charm is still no match for Zhan Qipei. Your identity is not only Divine Doctor Jing but also the

world-renowned Professor Qiao. If you have chosen to help Zhan Qipei, it looks indeed like the Zhan Family has a

greater chance of winning."

He paused as he spoke, then his gaze fell on Qiao Jing once again.

"However... I've also accumulated so much over the years, and I've spent a lot of effort to prepare against the

Zhan Family, so | won't give up. Besides, | don’t think that | am certain to lose."

For all these years, he had prepared so much just to defeat Zhan Corporation.

For that moment, he had exhausted a massive amount of energy, and this time, if he couldn't make Zhan

Corporation completely suffer a loss, he would at least strip a layer of skin from them.

Qiao Jing tightly furrowed her brows, her face expressionless as she looked at Wu Xirui and discovered that his

face was dark yet held a smile.

"About your mother’s matter, | have also heard a bit."

She knew that Wu Xirui was definitely going to make a big move this time, and what consequences would arise

from it were beyond predictability.

Although she could use her own identity to help the Zhan Family, after all, she was not a businessperson, so it

was actually somewhat troublesome.

After hearing Qiao Jing’s words, the little bit of gentleness on Wu Xirui’s face vanished, replaced by gloom.

He raised an eyebrow, feigning ignorance as he asked:

"Oh? What do you know?"

Qiao Jing furrowed her brows, speaking slowly.

"This is your family affair, which I originally didn’t want to meddle in, but | want to ask you a question."

She paused before continuing:

"If Grandpa Zhan had handed over the family business to your mother back then, how would Zhan Qipei or Uncle

Zhan feel? They would definitely be uncomfortable in their hearts and would choose to seek revenge just like

you. What kind of picture would that be then?"

Although she knew it was unlikely to make Wu Xirui empathize, she still couldn’t help but try.
