When Ji Yan arrived at the Ji family, Mrs. Ji and Ji Gui were listening to music while applying a mask with two glasses of red wine on the tea table leisurely.
She looked at them angrily, took a deep breath, and walked forward. “Where’s Dad?”
Mrs. Ji and Ji Gui were shocked. They quickly sat up and looked at the person who walked in. When they saw that it was Ji Yan, the two of them laid back in disdain.
Mrs. Ji said coldly, “What are you doing here?”
“Didn’t you promise to pay my mother’s medical fees for one year? Why didn’t you pay for it? I have already given you fifty million yuan,” Ji Yan said in a low voice.
Ji Gui massaged her face mask and said condescendingly, “Ji Yan, that fifty million yuan is my dowry. It’s not what you should be coveting.”
“Coveting? Don’t forget that I brought back that 50 million.”
Ji Gui tore off her mask and glared at Ji Yan, saying, “Since you brought it back, it’s ours now. Ji Yan, you used our money, but we haven’t settled accounts with you yet.”
“Mom, you really raised an ungrateful br*t,” Ji Gui said to her mother.
Mrs. Ji glanced at Ji Yan and said, “That’s right. Do you think that you can come back and shout at me after marrying into the Shang family?”
“Ji Yan, if Ji Gui didn’t give Shang Jinshen to you, can you become the Young Madam of the Shang family? You should be content with it.” If Shang Jinshen wasn’t disfigured and crippled, how could Ji Yan, the little b*tch, get such a good deal? Mrs. Ji had always been holding a grudge about this matter.
Ji Yan closed her eyes and felt hurt. “I don’t ask for too much. Pay a year’s medical fee for my mother. It’s just a drop in the bucket for you.”
Mrs. Ji snorted, “We have already paid your mother’s hospital fee for a year. You can pay the medical expenses. We don’t have any money at home.”
Mrs. Ji was already distressed at having to pay that woman’s hospitalization fee for one year. Their family liked squandering money. Fifty million yuan couldn’t even last that long.
Ji Yan smiled coldly, “Can you buy a limited edition Maserati with no money?” When she came in, she saw a brand-new car parked outside and felt pissed.
Ji Gui smiled smugly. “That car is just one of my dowry.”
Even if Ji Yan married Shang Jinshen, so what? She didn’t even have a decent dowry when she got married. However, Ji Gui was different. She luxury cars and bungalows for her dowry on a much larger scale.
Ji Yan had seen enough of the greedy faces of this family and she said in a heavy voice, “Forget it, I don’t care about dowry or not. I only want you to pay for my mother’s medical expenses. Otherwise, you won’t get any more money from me in the future.”
If her mother’s guardian was not her father, how could the Ji family have control over her? Ji Yan was filled with grief, thinking that she must win the right of her mother’s custody. She was now an adult and qualified to be her mother’s guardian.
When Mrs. Ji heard this, she was so mad that she stood up, picked up the wine glass, and poured it on Ji Yan. “You’re a stubborn girl, aren’t you? I’m telling you, don’t threaten me. If you annoy me, don’t think of keeping your place as the Shang family’s Young Madam!”
Ji Gui laughed smugly at the side, “This bottle of red wine splashed on you is such a waste.”
Ji Yan had no time to dodge. Her body was stained with large patches of red wine and she reached out to wipe away the dripping wine on her face.
She looked at Mrs. Ji and Ji Gui coldly, “Do you think I wanted to be his wife? You can challenge me and we’ll see who will be more miserable at that time.”
Mrs. Ji was frightened by her gaze. She took a small step back, her old face was a little distorted.
“What are you making noise for?” Mr. Ji frowned and came in, saying in a harsh voice.
Mr. Ji looked at Ji Yan expressionlessly and said to Mrs. Ji, “Isn’t it only a year’s medical fees? Give it to her. The Ji family is not short of money.”
Mrs. Ji stared at Ji Yan with hatred and turned her head away.
Hearing Mr. Ji’s words, Ji Gui was not happy. She went over and said in a spoiled voice, “Dad, this money is not enough for me to prepare for the wedding. It’s a waste to pay that sum.”
Mr. Ji didn’t go with Ji Gui’s words for the first time. He said, “How extravagant and flamboyant do you want your wedding to be? Be at ease and prepare for your wedding, don’t make any trouble.”
Ji Gui was stunned. She didn’t expect that Mr. Ji would scold her for Ji Yan. She walked to her mother, feeling wronged, and they glared at Ji Yan viciously.
Mr. Ji looked at Ji Yan. “Are you satisfied?”
Ji Yan raised the corners of her mouth, “Pay tomorrow.” After that, she turned and left. She took off her coat that had wine stains and put it on her arm. Then, she walked out dashingly without looking back.
Mr. Ji turned around and looked at Mrs. Ji and Ji Gui. His face softened, and he explained earnestly, “Shang Yu An is the illegitimate child. Even if you get married, you can’t go beyond Shang Jinshen, the heir of the Shang family. Do you understand? As long as Ji Yan is still the Young Madam, you should not provoke her. Even a dog will jump over a wall in panic.”
Mr. Ji did not think twice when describing Ji Yan as a dog. Then what should he be?
When Mrs. Ji and Ji Gui heard this, they did not fuss, although they felt unwilling. Those medical expenses were indeed a small sum. They also wanted to get more benefits from Ji Yan in the future.
Ji Gui’s eyes narrowed and she cursed in her heart. When she married Shang Yu An, she would definitely find a way to steal the family property. At that time, she would be the real Mrs. Shang! She would like to see how arrogant Ji Yan could be at that time.
Ji Yan didn’t waste much time. She went straight up to the second floor after reaching home and packed her luggage. This time, she had to go to Southlake City for a week. It was not a short time.
In terms of clothing, the Shang family had never mistreated her. Her wardrobe was full of fashionable clothes, but in fact, they merely didn’t want her to bring shame to the Shang family when she went out.
The wardrobe was in the master bedroom. Ji Yan thought for a moment and went out of the guest room. She wanted to go to the master bedroom to get her clothes. There should be no problem. Anyway, Shang Jinshen was not there.
Ji Yan’s impression of the master bedroom was not great. So many times, she left the room after a fight with Shang Jinshen. She only felt that the air in the master bedroom was not as fresh as the air in the guest room. When she stepped here, she felt suppressed.
When she opened the wardrobe, the row of Shang Jinshen’s luxurious suits was on the left, while hers was in the same row on the right. She chose a few simple items and took a scarf. Ji Yan intended to leave.
However, she didn’t expect to accidentally bump into Shang Jinshen’s suit when closing the wardrobe. It slipped down from the hanger. Ji Yan had no choice but to put down the clothes in her hand and bent over to pick up the suit.
Huh? She picked up the exquisite box on the ground curiously. As soon as she opened it and took a glance, she heard the door open and then slammed shut again.
Shocked, she looked up and saw Shang Jinshen’s dark expression.
She apologized. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it. I only came to get my clothes.”
“Who allowed you to touch it?” Shang Jinshen’s tone was gloomy and cold, his dark eyes shot daggers at Ji Yan.
Ji Yan was shocked by his tone. She understood that he was talking about the small box in her hand. Ji Yan looked down and saw a chain inside the box, inlaid with a picture of a girl with a sweet smile.
