Ji Yan looked while smiling at Ji Gui, who was making a scene. She didn’t want to stand between the warring couple become part of the show all the onlookers were enjoying, so she turned and left.
Just as Shang Yu An was about to chase after Ji Yan, Ji Gui blocked him like a madwoman. “Yu An, you would rather marry that b*tch than me?”
He turned his head and looked at Ji Gui coldly, his patience gone. “Ji Gui, don’t make trouble and go home. I looked for Ji Yan to coax her to help us get Shang Jinshen’s shares.”
Hearing this, Ji Gui slowly loosened her hand. She said in doubt, “Is what you said true?”
Shang Yu An nodded perfunctorily, “Yes, so you’d better stay out of it so as not to cause any trouble.”
“I see. Don’t be fooled by that b*tch, Yu An.”
Hearing Ji Gui calling Ji Yan a b*tch, Shang Yu An was annoyed, but he didn’t really push her away. The woman was still useful to him.
After Ji Yan left, she felt a headache brewing. Why did she impulsively throw her phone away? She could have just uninstalled the tracker. Moreover, she even lost her sim card…
She was already tight on money, and now she had to buy another phone. Ah! Shang Yu An was a jinx!
No one could get in touch with Ji Yan now and neither could she get in touch with anyone. The only number she memorized was Nurse Mali’s, who was now far away in Averland. She rubbed her head and then walked into a mobile store.
When Ji Yan came out, she was in a good mood, holding the phone she had just bought. Sure enough, shopping could lift a woman’s mood!
When Ji Yan reloaded the sim card, her phone began to ring incessantly. As soon as the call was connected, Li Wenjing shouted, “Ji Yan, what are you doing? Your phone was turned off and I couldn’t get in touch!”
Her phone had only been turned off for a few hours…
“Okay, it’s my fault. Miss Wenjing, what can I do for you?”
“Rio came to North River City. He couldn’t get in touch with you, so he contacted me.”
Oh, Rio came to North River City?
“Ji Yan, Rio said that there is an opportunity for you to publish your work in a Floraland magazine. He asked if you are interested.” Li Wenjing’s voice was full of excitement.
Hearing this, Ji Yan was slightly tempted. Floraland magazines always had high standards and she did not want to give up this opportunity.
She solemnly replied, “Wen Jing, can you reply to Rio for me? I want to have a go at it.”
“Okay, you only have a week. When will you start?”
Ji Yan thought for a moment and said, “Come to Zeus Cafe on Navy Street tomorrow. Let’s do some designing there first.”
After deciding on a time with Li Wenjing, Ji Yan hung up the phone. It seemed that her luck was not always bad. After all, another window would open when one door closed.
There was no time to think about the kidnapping incident again. Ji Yan took a cab back to the Shang family villa without any delay, preparing to stay up late and work on a design draft.
“Ji Yan, come home immediately.” After Mr. Ji finished his speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for a reply.
“What’s wrong?” Li Wenjing raised her head from the design draft and asked.
Ji Yan smiled and shook her head, putting away her phone. “It’s okay. Let’s continue.” Did Mr. Ji still regard her as the little girl he could summon at will in the past? How funny.
It wasn’t until the evening that Ji Yan went out of the coffee shop with Li Wenjing. Ji Yan looked at the missed calls from her father on her phone. She couldn’t help but laugh. She guessed that the Ji family must be furious.
After waving to Li Wenjing, Ji Yan slowly walked to the bus station. She wondered what the Ji family was planning.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw her father glaring at her. “Didn’t I tell you to come back soon? Do you think you are independent now? You even dare to disobey my orders.”
Mrs. Ji looked over as well. She was holding onto Ji Gui, who looked pitiful as she cried, looking at Ji Yan with a vicious glare.
“B*tch, is this how you repay us for raising you? You are really an ungrateful br*t. I didn’t expect you to be so shameless as to rob your sister’s fiance.”
Ji Yan raised her eyebrows and looked at Ji Gui, who was in Wang Yu’s arms. It seemed that she came back to complain about what had happened just now.
“Rob? I didn’t want him at all. Father, mother, I’m now Shang Jinshen’s wife. Why would I want a mere nobody like Shang Yu An?”
Hearing this, Ji Gui glared at her. “Ji Yan, stop pretending. Yu An is handsome. How can you be willing to stay with a disfigured cripple every day?”
Ji Yan’s face became stern and she said in a deep voice, “Ji Gui, mind your words.”
Ji Gui was frightened by Ji Yan’s cold look. She could not believe that the b*tch who used to be bullied by her would dare to talk back to her in such a disdainful way.
She threw herself into Wang Yu’s arms with a burst of anguish, “Mom, I saw Yu An giving her roses with my own eyes. I went to her and argued, but she didn’t admit it and drove me out of their company.”
“And yesterday, I saw her and Yu An tugging at each other on the street. She must be messing around with Yu An. Teach her a lesson quickly with our family rules!”
The more Mrs. Ji listened, the uglier her face became. Mr. Ji stepped forward and glared at Ji Yan. “Is what your sister said true? How could I have such a shameless daughter?”
It seemed that Mrs. Ji was waiting for this moment. She turned around and took a stick out from under the sofa. Ji Yan was not unfamiliar with this stick.
Since she was young, as long as Ji Gui played the victim and complained to Mr. and Mrs. Ji, she would be beaten by that stick.
A sharp light flashed in Ji Yan’s eyes and she looked at Mr. and Mrs. Ji coldly. They froze under Ji Yan’s gaze.
After a while, Mrs. Ji came back to her senses from embarrassment. She wielded the stick and wanted to hit Ji Yan. Behind her, Ji Gui looked at her smugly.
It was just the beginning. Ji Gui would make Ji Yan more miserable! A hundred times… No! A thousand times worse than her!
Ji Yan nimbly dodged sideways, Thus before Mrs. Ji could react to the change, she fell to the ground. Luckily, Mr. Ji stood beside her and gave his wife a hand.
Mr. Ji was fuming. He grabbed the stick from Mrs. Ji’s hand and waved it at Ji Yan. He said fiercely, “I have raised you for so many years. And you are going against me like this?”
“Ji Yan, don’t forget that your mother is still locked up in the psychiatric hospital,” Mr. Ji despicably said those threatening words.
Ji Yan was stunned and the stick was about to fall on her body.
In the next second, a pair of strong hands pulled her away. “What is going on? How did my wife offend my mother-in-law and father-in-law?”
The corners of Shang Jinshen’s mouth curled up in a smile but his black eyes were full of danger. “I don’t know when my wife, the Young Madam of the Shang family, can be bullied at will.”
Mr. Ji looked at Shang Jinshen with a hideous face while his breath was blocked in his throat. He said, embarrassed, “Shang Jinshen, Ji Yan is my daughter.”
“So what?” Shang Jinshen said leisurely, glancing at the three people of the Ji family coldly, and said in an indifferent voice, “When Ji Yan married into the Shang family, she became one of us.”
“Even if you are her maiden family, you are not qualified to teach a lesson to my woman.”
Finally, his eyes fell on Ji Gui, who was hiding behind Wang Yu, and he curled up the corners of his mouth in disdain.
“Otherwise, don’t blame me for disowning my relatives!”
Shang Jinshen’s expression suddenly became cold and solemn, and the Ji family felt as if they were surrounded by ice, which was chilling to the bone.
