Shang Yunan secretly hated that Liu Lian insisted on his bringing her to celebrate his wife’s birthday. Wasn’t she trying to make a fool out of herself? However, seeing Han Xiulan’s behavior, his feelings for her were completely obliterated.
Shang Jinshen only turned his head away after seeing the drama happening in front of him. He couldn’t suppress himself any longer and sneered at the commotion. Ji Yan pushed away Shang Jinshen emotionlessly. The banquet turned into a chaotic scene. What a waste of effort it was decorating it several days ago.
Meng Shaoting watched as Ji Yan followed Shang Jinshen downstairs. She could clearly see the injuries on Ji Yan’s face. Meng Shaoting took a deep breath and her eyes were filled with guilt.
Meng Shaoting’s heart tightened when she saw the cold and ruthless look in Shang Jinshen’s eyes. He knew that Shang Jinshen would definitely get even with the Meng family after.
Even though she had made up for it, she was still Huo Yunlu’s accomplice. Meng Shaoting looked a little dejected.
Shang Yu An, who was standing beside Liu Lian, suddenly raised his head and looked in Ji Yan’s direction. When he saw her thin back, his eyes darkened. Then he lowered his head and followed Liu Lian as if nothing had happened and let Mrs. Shang humiliate him.
As long as Shang Yunan was disappointed with Han Xiulan and Shang Jinshen and lost his feelings for them, he would have a place to stand out among them. Shang Yu An’s face was full of patience. He clenched his fists and swore in his heart that the Shang family would belong to him sooner or later, and Ji Yan would also belong to him. He would take everything from Shang Jinshen!
“Ah, Smith, sorry to trouble you again.” Ji Yan showed a bitter smile and raised her neck for Smith to have a better look at her bruises.
Smith looked at her strangely and then at Shang Jingshen, who was sitting in the distance with no expression on his face. His face was full of curiosity, as if he was afraid that others would not know his curiosity.
After treating her last wound, he glanced at Shang Jingshen ambiguously and whispered in Ji Yan’s ear, “Was it boss who did this to you?” He never expected Shang Jinshen to be so passionate in bed.
Ji Yan was dumbfounded.
Shang Jinshen shot a sharp glance in Smith’s direction. Smith touched his nose and didn’t dare to ask further. He didn’t want to offend the big boss because of a little curiosity. After all, Shang Jinshen was very vengeful.
Seeing that Smith had shut his mouth, Ji Yan heaved a sigh of relief. She did not want to tell anyone about her fight with Han Xian. Moreover, she could never have expected that Huo Yunlu would frame her with a cousin from the Han family that she had never even seen before.
She walked up to Shang Jinshen obediently. Ji Yan carried the first aid kit and obeyed Shang Jinshen’s instructions to push him out.
Lan Si took Huo Yunlu to the Huo family to get an answer for her crimes, so Shang Jinshen called a strange man, whom Ji Yan had never seen before, to be their chauffeur. Just like the cold-faced assistant, Lan Si, this cold-faced man was also wrapped by a strong evil aura.
Ji Yan couldn’t help but wonder why the people around Shang Jinshen were all that good at radiating such intimating auras.
They were silent all the way. Soon, the car stopped at the Shang villa.
Ji Yan got out of the car and saw that Shang Jinshen was sitting still. She couldn’t help asking, “Jinshen, are you going out?”
The man’s cold chin dipped slightly, and the car quickly drove away from Ji Yan’s sight.
Ji Yan pulled on the jacket that Shang Jinshen had put on for her and turned to enter the villa. There was a hint of confusion in her eyes. “It’s late at night, what could it be that he has to go out at his hour?”
“Boss, are you going directly to the Han Villa?” The man driving the car was An Ming. He looked through the rearview mirror and seeing his boss giving a nod, he stepped on the accelerator and went straight to the Han Villa.
“Mr. Shang, what brings you here at this hour?” The butler of the Han mansion came up to him with a flattering smile.
Shang Jinshen didn’t even spare him a glance. He asked coldly and elegantly, “Where’s Mr. Han?”
“Young Master, Mr. Han is resting. You…”
“Wake up the old man and tell him that I have something important to discuss with him.” Shang Jinshen sat in the living room with a cold face and gave orders as if he was the man of the house.
The butler had a bitter look on his face, but he didn’t dare to disobey the young master of the Shang family, who didn’t even care about his grandfather.
“Hey, Jinshen, you’re here? Is your mother’s birthday party over?” Han Lin’s mother came downstairs. Seeing Shang Jingshen, she clenched her fists and smiled warmly.
Shang Jinshen looked at his generous aunt and snorted. He didn’t believe that the Han family was still unaware of Han Xian’s actions.
Mr. Han was resting? He probably just didn’t want to interfere in the matter, as for his aunt, she had to be the one to apologize for what her son did.
How could Shang Jinshen let things go that easily? Anyone who had offended him had to pay, and Han Xian was no exception.
The fire in Shang Jinshen’s heart burned more and more fiercely. He couldn’t tell where the anger in his heart came from. It seemed that the fire started to burn when he saw the scars on Ji Yan’s face.
Seeing that Shang Jingshen didn’t even give her any basic courtesy, Han Lin’s mother’s face darkened a little. She stopped pretending and said, “Jinshen, if your cousin got drunk and did something inappropriate, I’ll ask for your forgiveness in his place.”
Shang Jinshen looked at her with a mocking look on his face. “Something inappropriate? The Han family sure do know how to underplay something huh?”
“Jinshen, aren’t we all family? I believe there is no need to cause a scene for people to laugh at.” Han Lin’s mother started to try and speak sense to Shang Jinshen. “Besides, you have already taught him a lesson, haven’t you? Why don’t we both take a step back?”
“Take a step back?” Shang Jinshen laughed as if he had heard a joke.
Han Lin’s mother was furious seeing Shang Jinshen so stubborn. She said in a loud voice, “Your men have already brought your cousin to the Huo family, isn’t that enough? Do you really want to go that far? Are you not going to stop until the Huo and Han families turn against you? As in-laws, the Shang family wouldn’t do well either if the Han family suffers. Jinshen, let’s not make a fuss out of a small matter to entertain the public.”
The Huo family had power in their hands. Although it was Huo Yunlu who had plotted against them first, if the Huo family were to protect her, Han Xian would be the one to suffer. She didn’t want to see the Huo family send Han Xian into jail in order to keep him out of the house.
Therefore, Han Lin’s mother got anxious. She came downstairs to reconcile with Shang Jinshen. However, she forgot that she was asking for forgiveness, and yet she was not putting down her status as his elder. Shang Jinshen was even more sick at the fact that it felt more like she was demanding for his forgiveness instead of asking for it.
That was to say, Shang Jinshen was no longer as polite as he used to be. He just ignored his so-called aunt.
“What’s wrong? You don’t even want to give face to your aunt for a woman?” Han Lin’s mother pounded the table and spoke angrily. Her delicate face was full of anger, and she was no longer gentle and elegant.
“A woman? She’s my wife, the Young Madam of the Shang family.” The corners of Shang Jinshen’s lips curled into a sinister and cold smile.
“In my eyes, ten of Han Xian isn’t as good as my wife. Aunt, do you understand?” Who was Han Xian? When did he need to give others face? How could he let his woman be wronged? Even if he didn’t love her, he still said that Ji Yan could only be bullied by him. It was not up to others to humiliate her!
An Ming, who was following behind Shang Jinshen, did not show any expression on his face. However, he was secretly pleased. If you dare to show his boss any disrespect, you’ll only lose your reputation!
Han Lin’s mother was stunned and trembled with anger.
