Ji Yan lowered her head and bit her lip. She didn’t care about Mrs. Shang’s sarcasm. Anyway, she was used to it.
However, she didn’t want to see Shang Jingshen’s expression, so she could only remain silent.
Shang Jinshen caught a glimpse of Ji Yan’s red knee out of the corner of his eye. He put down his chopsticks and said emotionlessly, “Go and clean yourself up.”
Ji Yan pursed her lips and turned to go upstairs. She was like a silent little shadow without any sound.
She held her clothes and went into the bathroom. With hot water on her body, she finally relaxed after a whole day of tension.
Wearing a bathrobe and sitting on a wooden chair beside the bed, Ji Yan blew a few times on the wound on her knees, wiped the ointment on her knee, and then skillfully bandaged it. “Look, she has been injured a lot, and even bandaged things skillfully. What else can’t I get used to?”
Holding his legs, he leaned against the wooden chair and looked at the sky full of stars. The stars here were not as bright as those in the countryside, nor were they as bright as those in the countryside.
When Shang Jinshen came in, he saw Ji Yan’s lonely little figure, which was almost the same as the black night sky outside the window. He frowned and approached her.
“Eat.” He handed her a bowl of midnight snacks.
Hearing this, Ji Yan slowly turned to look at him, then looked at the bowl in his hand, silently took it, and said, “Thank you.”
Shang Jinshen’s frown deepened. According to the little wild cat’s character, he should be more insatiable at this moment rather than being so distant and polite.
When he came out of the bathroom, Ji Yan’s small body was no longer on the wooden chair, and the remaining half of the midnight snack bowl was placed on the small table without anyone’s pity.
When he got closer, he heard the sound of even breathing coming from the bed.
Looking at her white and tender little face, he thought to himself, “Is she too tired?”
After going to bed, the little woman did not immediately snuggle into his arms as usual. She leaned against the bed. The distance between them was like that of the Chu River and the Han Dynasty. The distance between them was clear and could not be approached!
The man was unhappy and his face darkened. He reached out and held the little woman in his arms. The woman’s soft body slipped into his arms. The man fell asleep with satisfaction.
After a long time, the woman opened her eyes and then closed them silently. It was a quiet night.
Seeing that Ji Yan had carefully cooked and put the food into her mouth, Mrs. Shang snorted and said sarcastically, “What’s the point of trying to please her?” She knew that Ji Yan was preparing it for that old man.
Ji Yan put away the lunch box and said to Mrs. Shang, “Since you have made it, do it well. Besides, he is your husband.”
She was no longer as calm as she used to be, nor did she talk back to him. She was just stating the truth. Ji Yan no longer had a humble and fawning attitude towards Mrs. Shang.
Mrs. Shang didn’t expect that Ji Yan would talk to her like this. She was about to teach her a lesson, but she didn’t expect that Ji Yan would turn around and leave with her bag.
“It’s the opposite, it’s the opposite.” Lady Shang’s anger was surging, and her whole face was like a big colorful plate.
Unable to restrain her temper, she picked up the phone and called her son to complain. “Jin Shen, let me tell you something. That little bitch Ji Yan is so arrogant that she doesn’t even take me seriously. How dare she talk back to me? Anyway, you don’t like her. We can’t take this daughter-in-law anymore.”
Shang Jinshen rubbed the space between his eyebrows. When Mrs. Shang was done venting her anger, he said in a cold voice, “Don’t torture her for no reason. No matter what, Ji Yan is still the young madam of the merchant!”
After that, she hung up the phone. If Ji Yan knew that Shang Jinshen was so sure of her identity without hesitation, she might be a little moved. Unfortunately, she didn’t know that Shang Jinshen was definitely not the kind of man who could speak sweet words.
“Young Madam, why are you here so early?” Mrs. Zhang took the thermos in Ji Yan’s hand and asked.
Ji Yan adjusted the drop of liquid a little bit slower as usual. She came back to her senses and said softly, “Anyway, I can’t fall asleep, so I came to see you. By the way, Mrs. Zhang, you should remember to slow down the drop of liquid, which is not good for the heart. The drop of ice can be used to keep a warm water bag in your hand, and Old Master Shang will be more comfortable.”
Madam Zhang nodded to show that she remembered. She sighed with emotion in her heart that Young Madam was so considerate and kind. Unfortunately, no one in the Ji Gui was willing to remember her good.
After a while, Ji Yan blinked repeatedly and turned back in surprise. “Mrs. Zhang, come and have a look. Is Old Master Shang awake?”
Madam Zhang quickly ran over and said excitedly, “Young Madam, you stay here. I’ll call the doctor.”
“Well, okay.” Ji Yan turned her head and looked at Old Master Shang’s opened eyes. She smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Old Master Shang. This is a hospital. You’ll be fine once you wake up.”
Old Master Shang’s eyes were still confused, but he seemed to be relieved by Ji Yan’s words, and his mood was getting more and more stable.
When the doctor came over, he said to Ji Yan, “Let’s arrange a check-up in the afternoon. Don’t worry. It’s a good thing to wake up.”
As soon as the doctor left, Mrs. Zhang urged Ji Yan, “Young Madam, call Young Master and tell him this good news.”
Ji Yan hesitated for a moment. Although her relationship with Shang Jinshen had become weird, it was necessary to tell him about it. She pinched her mobile phone, walked to the bed, and dialed the number. Unexpectedly, Ji Yan, who was quickly picked up, was stunned. She listened to the phone and said, “Hello?”
She coughed and said, “Your father is awake. The doctor said he would have an examination in the afternoon.”
On the other side, she was not in a good mood and replied with a faint “yes”.
Ji Yan felt awkward and wanted to hang up the phone. She was caught off guard and heard the man say in a low voice, “If you are tired, go back to rest.”
“Is this concern?” She didn’t think so. She smiled faintly, but couldn’t hear any warmth in her voice. “It’s okay. I have to behave like a good young madam of a merchant.”
On the other side of the phone that she couldn’t see, the man frowned tightly. The surprised look on his face when she called him suddenly became very unhappy. “What do you mean by ‘the young madam of a merchant’? Is she doing all this for his request?”
Ji Yan didn’t hear any response and thought that he was silent. She gently hung up the phone and looked out of the window at the bright sun, but she couldn’t feel any warmth in her heart.
Hearing that, Shang Jinshen put down the phone and called Lan Si in. He frowned and said, “I’ll push all the meeting to the hospital.”
Lan Si widened his eyes. He really wanted to say that the meeting in the afternoon was very important, Young Master! He didn’t think that Old Master Shang was so valuable that he could make Young Master abandon the meeting and go to the hospital, so there was only Young Madam left in the hospital to accompany him.
In the past, he could understand that Young Master was not a workaholic because of his Young Madam. But now, his official Ji Gui was delayed because of Young Madam. He couldn’t imagine that, could he?
Shang Jinshen didn’t care about how Lan Si felt. He dealt with the Ji Gui with a serious look on his face, but only he knew how absent-minded he was.
