Mrs. Shang’s face immediately changed and her expression became fierce. She looked at the Ji family with a gaze as sharp as a sword, which made the Ji family uneasy.
Ji Yan frowned slightly. She accidentally saw the video playing on Mrs. Shang’s tablet. Her vision was good and she saw who the heroine was at a glance. Wasn’t it Ji Gui who had been shooting eye daggers at her all the time?
The naked bodies in the video looked disgusting. Ji Yan turned her head and stopped watching. She already knew what was going on.
Mr. and Mrs. Ji looked at each other and were worried. It seemed that Mrs. Shang already knew.
They didn’t know if she would protect Ji Yan. After all, rumors had it that Mrs. Shang didn’t like Ji Yan very much.
Mrs. Shang threw the tablet to the butler. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Ji Gui, who didn’t know how to cover up her arrogant face. She smiled and said sarcastically, “I was wondering why you came. Your family really knows how to raise a daughter. It blows my mind.”
“However, aren’t you begging the wrong person? What does this have to do with the Shang family? Your daughter is unconventional and did this…”
Mrs. Shang acted as if she was watching a show and added, “Sigh, how is this going to affect Yu An, that illegitimate child?” She never liked Liu Lian and her son. With this scandal about Ji Gui, she could even mock Master Shang.
Mrs. Shang’s eyes were smug and she only talked about her own interests. She had no thoughts about the kidnapping of Ji Yan, which the butler had mentioned to her.
Ji Zhengming’s guess was correct. Mrs. Shang was not partial to Ji Yan, but he forgot that Mrs. Shang hated Shang Yu An very much.
“Mrs. Shang, the engagement between Ji Gui and Yu An has been canceled,” Mr. Ji gritted his teeth and said. There was no hope for Shang Yu An after the call from Liu Lian.
Therefore, it would be worth it if they could please Mrs. Shang after breaking off from Shang Yu An.
Ji Gui was about to refute, but Mrs. Ji stopped her.
Cancel the engagement? Ji Yan’s eyes merely flickered slightly for a moment and then there were no more ripples.
For the sake of interests, Shang Yu An chose Ji Gui, and for the sake of reputation, he quickly got rid of her. Ji Yan wondered if Ji Gui would regret snatching Shang Yu An with any means possible.
She probably would not regret it. Ji Yan looked at Ji Gui, who was unwilling to give up and shook her head with a smile.
Unexpectedly, her smile angered Ji Gui, who had been holding back for a long time. She yelled at Ji Yan, “Why are you laughing, you b*tch? Even if I break off the engagement with Shang Yu An, you don’t have a chance.”
When did she show that she wanted Shang Yu An? Ji Yan was speechless.
Looking at Mrs. Shang’s scrutinizing eyes, Ji Yan quickly said, “Mom, I only love Jinshen. I will always be a member of the Shang family.”
Mrs. Shang turned her head with satisfaction and looked at the Ji family leisurely. She did not give them any face and ordered them to leave. “Well, we can’t help much. You can go.”
Mrs. Ji glared hatefully at Ji Yan, her face filled with unwillingness. Ji Gui should be the one to assume the position of the Shang family’s Young Madam.
She said sarcastically, “Ji Yan, you stole Ji Gui’s fiance to marry into the Shang family, and we didn’t say anything about it. But you can’t just focus on enjoying your own happiness and ignore us. Anyway, we are your relatives.”
“If the one who got married today were Ji Gui, she wouldn’t have been wronged like this. Mrs. Shang, am I right? Ji Yan is good in everything, but she is too scheming.”
After Mrs. Ji finished, she glanced at Mrs. Shang slyly, hoping to evoke her dissatisfaction with Ji Yan pulling tricks to marry into the Shang family and becoming angry.
Regardless of whether or not it was successful, she did not want to see Ji Yan have a good time in the Shang family.
But Mrs. Ji did not expect that after she said this, not only did Mrs. Shang not fly into a rage, but she looked at her with a faint smile as if she was looking at a clown jumping on the beam.
Mrs. Shang glanced scornfully at Ji Gui and said sarcastically, “Fortunately, it’s not Ji Gui who entered the Shang family. Otherwise, our reputation would be trampled to the ground!”
Ji Yan looked at how the Ji family’s faces immediately fell. Mr. Ji, who had always been selfish and solitary, the acidly mean Mrs. Ji, as well as the arrogant and vicious Ji Gui. None of them could even lift their heads after being belittled by Mrs. Shang. They could only resent her secretly.
Seeing that the butler had dismissed them, Ji Yan’s smile faded. She did not speak, but for the first time, the Ji family did not put her into a difficult situation.
To put it bluntly, Mrs. Shang was indeed a noble lady. Her methods were extraordinary.
“Do you blame me for treating your family in this way?” Mrs. Shang took a sip of tea and asked ambiguously.
Ji Yan did not hesitate at all. She shook her head and said, “I am now a part of the Shang family.” She only said this to please Mrs. Shang. Currently, she did not regard the Ji family as her home, but she couldn’t integrate into the Shang family so quickly either.
Mrs. Shang didn’t care whether she was sincere or not. She snorted coldly and said, “Who do you think the person who kidnapped you and sent me the photos was?”
She didn’t need Ji Yan’s answer. After that, she asked the butler to help her into the house. Mrs. Shang said those words to help Ji Yan grow a brain. She didn’t want Ji Yan to be an easy target and become a burden to her son.
After Mrs. Shang left, Ji Yan was in deep thought. Just now, Mrs. Ji’s words were like a warning to wake up her suspicions.
The people who kidnapped her and sent her photos with Rio to Mrs. Shang. Ji Yan’s eyes narrowed and the answer in her mind was ready to pop out.
She stood up abruptly. The Ji family had already gone far away, so she would not chase after them. Anyway, it was useless to chase after them.
Thinking of Shang Jinshen’s timely rescue, Ji Yan knew that Shang Jinshen must have already known about it.
She turned around and went upstairs. When she passed by the study, she hesitated for a long time.
Ji Yan had entered the study many times to send supper to Shang Jinshen, but she had never approached his computer or those documents which were likely to have the secrets of Shang Corp.
Thinking of her suspicion that Shang Jinshen was keeping an eye on her, Ji Yan was tempted. She wanted to clarify these things or to give herself a clear answer.
She took a deep breath and gently opened the door of the study. After looking left and right to see if anyone was there, she tiptoed and walked in lightly.
The black-and-white decoration made Shang Jinshen’s study look extremely oppressive, but it was filled with many secrets worth exploring.
She slowly approached the antique desk, stretched out her slender fingers, and put them on the phone. She didn’t linger on the files.
Ji Yan did not turn on the computer, afraid of touching anything. Although she did not understand, she knew about what the latest technology could do. As long as she messed with the computer, it was possible that Shang Jinshen would know immediately.
Ji Yan sat on Shang Jinshen’s usual leather chair, and the seat was cold. As soon as she sat on it, she felt as if she was enveloped in Shang Jinshen’s coldness.
She shook her head and stood up abruptly. The button of her sweater snagged on a stack of documents causing all of them to slip onto the floor.
She nervously squatted down to pick them up but did not deliberately look at the content of the document. Instead, her eyes fell on a photo caught in it.
Ji Yan’s face instantly turned pale and the hand holding the photo trembled slightly. Even though she had long suspected it, she still felt suffocated and disappointed when she confirmed it!
