Ji Yan’s face instantly turned cold. “Get out of here, both of you. I feel disgusted seeing you.”
Not only Ji Gui but Shang Yu An was also stunned as they could not believe that Ji Yan would say such words.
Just as Lan Si pushed the door and came in, Ji Yan said mercilessly, “Lan Si, please show them the exit. With their presence, the air has been contaminated.”
Lan Si sniggered in his heart, but he asked Shang Yu An and Ji Gui to leave, seriously and sternly. Shang Yu An didn’t dare to provoke Shang Jinshen, and he was also a little afraid of Lan Si, who was standing beside him.
Throwing a hateful look at Ji Gui who was behind all of this, Shang Yu An went out unwillingly.
“Haha, Madam Ji Yan, I am ordered by Mr. Shang to help you with the discharge procedure.” Lan Si laughed heartily, which was unusual from his usual demeanor.
Ji Yan nodded. Perhaps because Lan Si had helped her many times, she had a good impression of him.
The weather was nice when they left the hospital.
Shang Jinshen was waiting in the car while Lan Si helped with Ji Yan’s discharge procedure. Both of them then got in the car.
Opening the door, Ji Yan was surprised to see Shang Jinshen sitting in the car. She didn’t expect that Shang Jinshen would personally come to pick her up from the hospital. She felt warm at his kind gesture.
Ji Yan’s forehead was wrapped, once again, with white gauze. Her silky hair flowed down her back. She was wearing a white dress and a beige overcoat. She looked elegant and beautiful.
Shang Jinshen was holding a financial magazine in his hand and didn’t even look up when she went in.
Ji Yan didn’t know what to say. There was no more misunderstanding but it was clear that friendly chats were not suitable for them. Along the way, Ji Yan felt a little sleepy, and her head was gradually drooping, moving closer to Shang Jinshen.
The man tensed up but did not refuse or push her away. He allowed her to lean on his shoulder and sleep peacefully. Lan Si revealed a faint smile seeing it.
Not being there for a few days, the Shang family mansion was still as grand as before. Before they entered, they heard a burst of laughter.
Ji Yan pushed Shang Jinshen into the living room and Mrs. Shang, who was sitting on the sofa, had a bright smile on her face. However, she was smiling at the beautiful woman standing beside her.
As soon as Mrs. Shang saw Shang Jinshen, she quickly smiled and said, “My son is back. Look who came. Yunlu came to visit us as soon as she returned.”
The woman that Mrs. Shang was talking about, named Yunlu, was wearing a trendy dress, her hair was curled in a French updo. She gave off a Parisian vibe, romantic and elegant.
“Jinshen, long time no see.” Yunlu stood up, she had bright eyes and even white teeth. She gave a big smile to Shang Jinshen.
Shang Jinshen nodded and a rare hint of gentleness appeared on his face. He said, “You’re back?”
Yunlu nodded happily and went over to hold Shang Jinshen’s arm and tilted her head and said, “Jinshen, I won’t leave anymore. I can accompany you in the future.”
Holding the wheelchair handle, Ji Yan looked at the three people who were reminiscing about the good old days in front of her. Her smile faded away and she stood there quietly like a pale sculpture.
It seemed that Yunlu didn’t look at Ji Yan’s face at all. She instead acted extremely intimate with Shang Jinshen.
Mrs. Shang smiled seeing Shang Jinshen and Yunlu together. When her eyes fell on Ji Yan, they became dull. “Why did you come back?”
Yunlu was stunned and automatically looked in the direction of Mrs. Shang’s eyes. She asked doubtfully, “Mrs. Shang, who is she?”
Mrs. Shang looked at Ji Yan in disgust and said to Yunlu, “She doesn’t matter. Don’t worry about her. Yunlu, stay here for dinner.”
“Oh.” Yunlu looked at Ji Yan strangely.
Ji Yan didn’t know how to feel. Seeing Shang Jinshen’s cold eyes, she bit her lip and said firmly to Yunlu, “I’m Ji Yan, Jinshen’s wife. Nice to meet you.”
As soon as she finished her words, Yunlu’s face changed. She looked at both Mrs. Shang and Shang Jinshen, then straightened up. She stared at Ji Yan and said slowly, “So you are Jinshen’s wife? I’m really sorry. Just now, I thought that you were a new maid they hired.”
Her words were polite but incomparably ironic. The way Yunlu looked at her was full of hostility.
Mrs. Shang said with disdain, “Wife? Shang family does not welcome you. You just wait for the divorce papers.”
Ji Yan was not intimidated by her words. Instead, she looked at Shang Jinshen, and said softly, “Jinshen, you are the one who brought me back to the Shang family. So in your heart, I am still your wife, right?”
Looking at the faint expectation in her eyes, Shang Jinshen said softly, “Mom, Yunlu is just our guest but Ji Yan is my wife and the owner of this mansion.”
His words directly stated his position. Mrs. Shang and Yunlu looked at him with darkened faces.
“Jinshen…” Yunlu looked at him with grievance.
“Yunlu is the daughter of the Huo Family and we have a close relationship. You should take good care of her. I have a lot of work to do so I will have to leave first.” Shang Jinshen nodded to Yunlu and turned to go upstairs. It seemed that he was not surprised by her arrival.
Ji Yan’s eyes became brighter and she regained her dignity. He not only defended her status but also explained it to them. That had exceeded her expectations.
She took a deep breath and smiled gently. “Miss Yunlu, Madam Zhang’s cooking is impressive. You should stay for dinner. If you want to have a tour of the Shang family, you can also come to look for me.”
Yunlu stared at this woman whose appearance and temperament were not inferior to her and felt a deep sense of crisis. This was because Mrs. Shang told her that the daughter-in-law was just a weakling who could be easily bullied and that the Shang family had decided to divorce her, so she came with the determination to win.
For so many years, what she wanted most was to marry Jinshen. Even if he was disabled, her feelings never changed.
However, why did Jinshen recognize that woman as his wife? Couldn’t he see the beautiful woman standing in front of him?
Thinking of that, Yunlu’s heart was full of jealousy and anger. She said to Ji Yan, “I have visited Shang family many times since I was a child, so I’m more familiar with it than you.”
Ji Yan was caught off guard by her reply for a second but soon said with a smile, “That’s good. Although some things might have changed, it’s nice that Miss Yunlu can go and have a look at it.”
Change? Ji Yan’s words made Yunlu unable to refute. She was the young lady of an aristocratic family so she was not good at quarreling. Her face was turning red due to anger and she looked at Mrs. Shang for help.
Mrs. Shang looked at the pale-faced Ji Yan, who was not as obsequious as before. It was as if she didn’t know who she used to be. It seemed that Ji Yan was not her old self anymore.
Even so, Mrs. Shang would not change her position. Seeing that Yunlu was bullied, Mrs. Shang frowned and scolded, “Ji Yan, what did you say? I have made it clear that Yunlu is the true daughter-in-law of our Shang family. If you know what’s good for you, you should get out of here.”
