Shang Jinshen sat on the sofa and said with a smile, “Of course. Don’t worry, Grandpa.” He had expected such a result. It was equivalent to the exchange of benefits, but Shang Jinshen was the one who took advantage of it. In this way, the Shang Corp. was already firmly in his control.
He had wanted to take back the shares of the Han family for a long time, but the timing was never right. Now, when he saw Han Xian on the second floor, who intended to assault his wife, he made up his mind.
Han Lin’s mother didn’t care who owned the shares at all. When she heard that the old man had reached a deal with Shang Jinshen, she asked in a hurry, “When will Han Xian come back?”
Mrs. Shang also looked at Shang Jinshen and said, “Han Xian is a member of the Han family after all. Hurry up and send him back.”
“That’s right, cousin. My brother was bewitched by that b*tch Huo Yunlu…” Han Lin also pleaded.
Shang Jinshen narrowed his eyes. Thinking of Ji Yan’s tearful face, he said coldly, “Of course, I’ll send him back.” However, he might not be able to send him back in one piece!
“Mother, have a good rest at the Han family’s house tonight,” Shang Jinshen said. Then, he was pushed out of the house by An Ming.
“Sister-in-law, don’t worry.” Seeing Han Lin’s sad mother weeping in her daughter’s arms, Mrs. Shang comforted her impatiently.
Han Lin’s mother suddenly raised her head and said with hatred, “How can I not worry? That’s my son! You should also take good care of your son. Don’t come to the Han family to talk nonsense. If the Old Master brings his third son’s family back, how can my son have any status?”
Mrs. Shang’s expression changed and her tone was clearly upset. “That’s because your son is incompetent!” After saying this, she no longer cared about Han Lin and her daughter. She went upstairs and returned to the bedroom where she used to stay in.
She had been in a bad mood because of Liu Lian, and when she came back, she was forced by her son to hand over the Han family shares. How could she be in the mood to deal with the second son’s family now? If it weren’t for that stupid nephew Han Xian, things wouldn’t have become like this!
Han Lin’s mother suddenly came to her senses and regretted offending Han Xiulan, who held a high position in the Han family. She said, “Han Lin, you must make your grandfather happy. Don’t let him bring your third uncle’s family home, okay?”
Han Lin nodded. “Mom, don’t worry. The Han family property belongs to my brother. I won’t let anyone else take it away!”
“Young Master is back.” Mrs. Zhang came out of the living room to welcome him.
Shang Jinshen glanced around the living room and asked, “Where’s Young Madam?”
“Young Madam is in the bathroom. It’s been more than half an hour. She hasn’t come out yet,” Madam Zhang answered honestly.
Shang Jinshen nodded and waved for An Ming to go back. When he went up to the second floor, he heard the sound of running water from the guest bedroom.
After hesitating for a second, Shang Jinshen pushed the door open.
Ji Yan was soaking in the bathtub, wiping her body with a piece of cloth. Her skin was red, but she still persisted in cleaning herself. It was as if there was something dirty on her body that she wanted to scrub clean.
Although Han Xian did not succeed, the smell of alcohol still made Ji Yan feel disgusted and wanted to vomit. She felt as if her skin was burning but she couldn’t stop. Piercing pain flared on the areas that he touched.
“Do you think you’re dirty?”
She paused and slowly raised her head. Seeing Shang Jinshen, who had opened the bathroom and was staring at her with his dark eyes, Ji Yan immediately hid under the water nervously.
Glancing at her red neck and cheeks, Shang Jinshen suddenly felt that these bruises were very annoying.
When Ji Yan saw Shang Jinshen approaching slowly, she could not breathe well. She bit her lips and stared at his movements with her watery eyes, afraid that he would do something to her.
Seeing that she was on guard, Shang Jinshen couldn’t help sneering. “Have you forgotten that I’m your husband?”
“What on earth do you want to do?” Ji Yan wrapped her around her body and asked.
pale the rippling light, her white and tender body was like the most mysterious beautiful scene in Shang Jinshen’s eyes. His eyes darkened slightly, and he said in a hoarse voice, “What do I want to do? Of course, I want to fulfill my right as a husband.”
Ji Yan hugged her body more tightly, shook her head, and begged, “No, not tonight.”
He didn’t expect her to be so bold as to reject him. A dangerous aura emanated from Shang Jinshen’s body.
As a result, he mocked her even more unscrupulously. “I don’t even think you’re dirty, but you’ve become pretentious.”
The moment she was rescued and held in his arms, she was completely moved. The warmth in the bathroom gradually froze. She looked at him with no emotion in her eyes, but her heart had turned into ashes.
“I’m dirty. I didn’t expect that I would be neglected and imprisoned by my husband for seven days as soon as I got married. I don’t even know who took my virginity away! I didn’t expect that I would be despised and ridiculed by my so-called husband when I was framed and almost wore the hat of an adulteress.”
“Well, you can do whatever you want. How can I have the right to resist?” She simply gave up on herself and ripped open the scar that she had been hiding in her heart.
She had been afraid and sad. She hated the fact that she had been treated so unfairly.
Ji Yan lowered her head and stopped looking at him. She put her chin on her knees, and her tears fell uncontrollably, plopping into the water.
Shang Jinshen was silent for a moment, and the sarcastic look on his face faded away. Instead, there was a strong sense of complexity. Looking at her crying face, he didn’t know what he was feeling, but he felt sour and bitter.
After a long while, he bent down and pulled her arm up. He lifted her little face and looked at her pale face with traces of her tears. He lowered his head and kissed her on her lips.
Then, while she was still in a daze, he pulled out a bath towel and wrapped it around her. Then he carried her back to the master bedroom.
He was neither gentle nor rough with his movements as he put her on the bed before he turned around to take a shower.
Ji Yan opened her eyes in a daze. After a while, the man came back and the bed sank down slightly as he got on it.
He tugged up the quilt, hugged her, and then patted her head. Later he said coldly, “Go to sleep.”
…
He did not mess with her, nor did he tease and mock her. With just three simple words, along with the warmth from his body while she lay in his embrace… Ji Yan couldn’t help but wonder if he was comforting her?
Soon she fell into a deep sleep. In the dark, the couple hugged each other and woke up together in the morning sun.
This was the first time that Shang Jinshen was still by her side when she woke up.
When she opened her eyes, morning sunlight came in through the gauze curtains. The room was bright.
Half of his disfigured face was still terrifying, while the other side was as pure and as harmless as a child. She was confused. Just what kind of man was he?
“Enjoying the view?” The man suddenly said, which startled her.
Seeing that she was caught being lost in thought, Ji Yan said awkwardly, “Don’t you have to go to the company?”
He chuckled, not knowing if it was sarcasm or something else. “Can’t I have a day off?”
It turned out that he also knew that he was too much of a hard-working workaholic. Ji Yan complained in her heart, “I can’t believe that Shang Jinshen, a man as cold as ice, would stay in bed with me.”
It was true that the two of them had always hated each other. It was strange that they suddenly became so harmonious.
“Well, do you have something to ask?” She wanted to ask him if he had any intentions…
