Ji Yan no longer paid attention to Gao Rui. She looked at Shang Jinshen, sitting in a wheelchair with an expressionless face. She opened her mouth and didn’t know what to say for a while.
Shang Jinshen pursed his lips and glanced at Ji Yan sarcastically, saying, “Your mouth is getting sharper and sharper.”
Hearing Shang Jinshen’s words, Gao Rui was immediately delighted. As long as Shang Jinshen protected her, even if she were exposed for bribing someone to break Ji Yan’s work, GN wouldn’t be able to do anything to her.
Besides, if Shang Jinshen fancied her, she could even marry into the Shang family, let alone GN! With this in mind, Gao Rui looked at Shang Jinshen with bright eyes, pretending to be aggrieved.
“Mr. Shang…” Gao Rui’s curvy body stuck close to Shang Jinshen. She whispered in his ear, “Mr. Shang, I don’t know these things. Ji Yan is trying to frame me.”
“Rio, don’t you recognize me?”
Ji Yan pursed her lips and frowned as she watched Gao Rui cling to Shang Jinshen.
Shang Jinshen glanced at Gao Rui and said in disgust, “Get out of my way.” He wasn’t gentle to the woman at all and knocked away the hand Gao Rui put on his shoulder.
Seeing this, Lan Si immediately stepped forward to separate Gao Rui from Shang Jinshen.
Gao Rui looked at Shang Jinshen’s ice-cold face in disbelief. She didn’t expect Shang Jinshen to spare her no mercy in front of so many people!
Ji Yan raised her eyebrows and chuckled in her heart. She couldn’t help but show a slight smile on her fair face.
He Tianlin’s gaze at Gao Rui became colder and colder. Not only did she play tricks secretly, but she also offended Shang Jinshen. Gao Rui had overestimated herself.
“Come here.” Shang Jinshen looked at Ji Yan coldly and sternly.
Ji Yan suddenly trembled. She remembered that she had just danced with Rio. Did Shang Jinshen want to settle the score with her?
She slowly walked over and glanced at Shang Jinshen carefully.
Everyone watched the scene curiously and secretly guessed in their hearts, “Had Mr. Shang taken a liking to Ji Yan, a new designer?”
Lan Si wittily handed the wheelchair to Ji Yan and retreated to the back.
He Tianlin glared at Gao Rui, motioning for the guards to take her away. He asked curiously, “Mr. Shang, do you know Miss Ji?”
All the people were also waiting for Shang Jinshen’s response. Many people secretly wondered whether Mr. Shang had intervened in Ji Yan’s score this time.
Ji Yan stood silently behind the wheelchair. She did not know how Shang Jinshen would introduce her.
But she didn’t expect Shang Jinshen to simply say, “She’s just a maid at home.” He brushed it off like that?!
Ji Yan clenched her fists tightly and lowered her head to cover up the embarrassment in her eyes. Was she only a maid? It turned out that she held such a low position in Shang Jinshen’s heart. What was there to look forward to? She could not move his heart of stone.
Maid? Everyone’s reactions were different, but all of them were a little unable to accept this answer.
“The winner for GN’s design exhibition is merely a maid in the Shang family? They really produce impressive talents.” He Tianlin thought that but stayed silent. He touched his nose and didn’t ask any more questions.
Li Wenjing looked at Ji Yan and then at Shang Jinshen. She always felt that there was something fishy about Ji Yan. Ji Yan’s usual delicate clothes were not as simple as the maid’s.
She still remembered that Ji Yan got in the black car last time. Now, she had put two and two together. The man in the car was Shang Jinshen.
But then how did Ji Yan get those wounds?
She had thought that the party would end like that. Unexpectedly, Rio walked to Shang Jinshen and looked at Ji Yan.
“Ji Yan, why don’t you join my team instead of being a maid? You have the potential.”
Is Rio trying to headhunt Ji Yan in front of Shang Jinshen? His courage is commendable!
Ji Yan didn’t understand what Rio was trying to play at, but Shang Jinshen’s face had already turned dark, and his eyes shot daggers at the man in front of him.
Rio was unmoved. He put his hands in his pockets and waited for Ji Yan’s answer with a smile. His expression showed that he did not care about Shang Jinshen’s pressure at all.
Ji Yan couldn’t help but touch her forehead. What was going on? It would be great if she were as simple as a maid. Unfortunately, she had no command over herself. Ji Yan had no choice but to reject Rio’s kind offer, even though his words were attractive to her.
“Thank you for your kindness, but I’m sorry. I can still work as a designer in North River City.”
The designers in the hall looked at Ji Yan with surprise. Rio personally invited her! Ji Yan was too insensible. They were all eager to join Rio’s team.
Ji Yan smiled bitterly. Obviously, she felt that the cold air around Shang Jinshen reduced as soon as she spoke.
Rio was a little disappointed, but he didn’t pay much mind to it. He looked Shang Jinshen up and then turned around chicly.
“Ji Yan, when you have nowhere to go, I will welcome you at any time.”
Ji Yan looked at Rio’s back and sincerely expressed her gratitude. Rio could be said to be a rare benefactor in her life.
“He’s already gone, so why are you still looking? If you’re so hesitant, I’ll let you catch up with him. How about that?” Ji Yan heard Shang Jinshen’s unhappy words.
…
Ji Yan didn’t want to argue with Shang Jinshen, so she nodded to Li Wenjing. She did her duties as a maid responsibly and pushed Shang Jinshen away.
After Lan Si opened the car door, Ji Yan helped Shang Jinshen to sit in the car. “Well…”
“Get in the car.” Shang Jinshen interrupted her as soon as she opened her mouth.
Ji Yan had to sit obediently next to him. She had planned to go separate ways, but she couldn’t reject Shang Jinshen’s bossiness at all.
They didn’t say anything along the way.
Soon, Lan Si parked the car under a luxurious apartment and sent them upstairs. Then, he drove away.
Ji Yan pushed Shang Jinshen into the apartment. Before she could look around, she heard him say, “I’m hungry.”
She murmured, “You really think of me as a maid.” Ji Yan went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. There were a lot of ingredients.
Ji Yan was good at cooking. She moved quickly and soon made four dishes and a soup. She had already understood how picky Shang Jinshen was, so she cooked all the dishes he liked.
Looking at the delicious food, Shang Jinshen’s expression also looked better. Ji Yan did not say anything but put the dishes on the table and sat down. She ate quickly and it was obvious that she was starving.
Shang Jinshen glanced at her and did not bother with her. His behavior as he ate was elegant.
After the meal, Ji Yan felt a little unsettled. It was getting late, and she didn’t know if she should leave or stay. However, Shang Jinshen did not say anything.
“Go and do laundry,” Shang Jinshen put his laptop on his knee and said without looking up.
Ji Yan thought about it while washing the clothes. Shang Jinshen, that b*stard, really regarded her as a maid. After drying the clothes, Ji Yan then stripped and took a bath in the bathroom before coming out feeling refreshed.
Shang Jinshen looked up and saw Ji Yan, who was wearing his bathrobe and had slightly wet hair. He couldn’t help but have a strange look in his eyes. That stupid woman was becoming bolder
Ji Yan curled her lips and ignored Shang Jinshen. She found a towel nestled in a corner and quietly dried her hair.
