It was only then that Mrs. Ji calmed down, “Your sister will be getting married soon, you know that too. My business investment with your father has failed, and so, we also lost a lot of money. We can’t just let your sister marry like this, can we?”
Her heart was slowly aching…
When she got married, they didn’t give her a single penny. Instead, the Shang family compensated them with a sum of money.
But this time, were they going to give everything they have to let Ji Gui get married?
“I don’t have any money.”
Her voice became cold at once as she was also trying to calm herself down.
Mrs. Ji scolded, “How could you have no money after marrying into the Shang family? You can’t even withdraw money to help us. What’s the use of marrying you into that family? You want to live a good life by yourself and let us suffer, don’t you?”
A series of questions made Ji Yan’s heart numb.
If her heart died, she won’t feel pain anymore.
She clenched her fists, feeling a wave of numbness in her heart, “How much do you all need?”
Mrs. Ji’s anger eased a lot, and she said with a smile, “Isn’t it right to do this earlier? If your sister is doing well, you would feel proud too. Isn’t that right? Just give us 50 million yuan.”
50 million.
Ji Yan smiled bitterly. Did she thought it was as easy as 500 yuan?
“I don’t have that much money.”
However, Mrs. Ji did not listen to her explanation and scolded, “If you don’t have so much money, we will go to borrow from usury! Then, you will have to pay all the debts! In the end, it’s still your responsibility. It’s up to you!”
After that, she hung up the phone.
Ji Yan was paralyzed on the chair. As the cold wind blew, the sky was gloomy, as if heavy rain was about to come. She stared blankly at the patients coming and going into the hospital. Then, her eyes suddenly turned red.
They hurt her again and again, but she couldn’t bring herself to be cruel to them. It was nothing more than because she still sees them as her relatives.
And when had they ever treated her as a family?
At this time, the blood test came out. She was indeed pregnant.
It was a double blow and added fuel to the flames. Ji Yan didn’t know what she had done wrong. Why was she getting punished like this?
In the evening, Shang Jinshen returned to the manor and saw Ji Yan coming out of the kitchen with food.
She saw him come back. She said with a warm and soft smile, “You’re back. I made your favorite dish. I heard from Madam Zhang that you like this the most.”
Shang Jinshen’s face was as cold as ice, and he didn’t say anything. He slowly slid and sat at the dining table.
Recently, Mrs. Shang would not be around for a few days, and Master Shang rarely returned home. So, only the two of them were having dinner at this time.
Ji Yan saw that Shang Jinshen was willing to sit over. Thus, she added more rice diligently and served him the dishes. Her face was full of smiles, but Shang Jinshen felt disgusted.
He was very annoyed. He was annoyed by such a foolish woman.
Her eyes were full of reluctance, but she still seemed to be willing to do it.
He did not know where her confidence and courage came from.
Didn’t she hate him the most?
Shang Jinshen’s eyes darkened. He didn’t take over the spoon she passed to him. Instead, he straightened his back and gave off intense pressure.
“What’s the matter?”
His voice was extremely cold.
Ji Yan was stunned. She felt that she hid it well without any trace.
Shang Jinshen’s gaze met hers. There was a faint scar on her forehead, but it was covered by her hair. Her milky white fur coat revealed her slender neck, making her skin look extremely tender and pale.
She was like a pure and elegant white rose, which could not be tarnished.
At this time, she was looking at him in surprise. However, there was a trace of timidity in her eyes.
She was still afraid of him.
Shang Jinshen’s eyes became cold again, and he didn’t mean to take the cutlery to eat.
Ji Yan forced a smile and said ingratiatingly, “I didn’t have anything else to do. I just wanted to make you a meal. Are the dishes I cooked not good?”
Her acting skills were terrible. He felt that they were too terrible.
“Ji Yan.”
He called out her name. Without any hesitation, he said in a harsh tone, “Have I told you that I hate being deceived by others?”
Ji Yan panicked and almost dropped the spoon in her hand on the table. What did he mean by that?
Could it be possible that he had discovered that she was pregnant?
Shang Jinshen looked at her expression and said coldly, “I’ll give you one last chance.”
Ji Yan was so flustered that her fingertips were trembling. She would never tell him that she was pregnant.
She swallowed her saliva and stuttered, “I… I…”
