It had to be said that Ji Yan had enough knowledge of Shang Jinshen. She had heard such news as soon as she came back from a Ji Gui trip. Seeing this kind of newspaper, Shang Jinshen’s face suddenly darkened.
“Where’s Young Madam?” he asked coldly.
Lan Si wiped away the non-existent sweat on his head and said, “Young Master, I’m looking for Dark Underworld to ask where Young Madam is.”
Since he was on a Ji Gui trip with Young Master, he naturally did not know where Young Madam was.
Shang Jinshen threw the newspaper on the table. The first thing he wanted to do when he got the newspaper was not to worry about the shares of the Ji Gui company, but about what would happen to Ji Yan if she saw these newspapers. Would she be sad?
With a cold face, he slowly calmed down and ordered, “Go and check it out. Seal that newspaper for me. Without my permission, anyone who dares to hype up my news should pay the price!”
“Ji Yan, why don’t you go to my house tonight?” Li Wenjing stood up and looked at Ji Yan’s thin figure under the light.
Hearing this, Ji Yan turned around, her eyes were gentle, and her voice was firm. “How can I be so fragile? Don’t you believe me?” After that, she blinked playfully.
Li Wenjing sat down, amused, and Huo Qing looked at her speechlessly.
After paying the bill, Ji Yan took her bag and left. She would not hide because of some rumors, so she did not feel guilty.
She lowered her head and smiled. She got on the bus and took out her headphones to listen to the gentle music. She seemed to be in a much better mood.
When they returned to the shop, it was already dark. When Ji Yan just walked into the living room, Mrs. Zhang saw her and panicked. She quickly rolled up the newspaper on the table and put it on her back. She smiled at Ji Yan and said, “Young Madam is back?”
Ji Yan’s eyes were bright, but she pretended not to see it. As she walked in, Madam Zhang quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
But not long after, she heard the angry voice of Shang south coming from the study. Ji Yan was stunned and stood in the living room.
“Look, look at what you’ve done. Our merchant’s reputation can’t stand being ruined by you.” With an angry look on his face, he looked at Shang Jinshen, who was neither indifferent nor indifferent, and his heart was burning with anger.
“I’m telling you, don’t get involved with that little star. You have a powerful family. Don’t do anything stupid!”
The corners of Shang Jinshen’s lips curled into a mocking smile as he glanced at Shang Yunan. He said nonchalantly, “Oh? Then what did you say about your own Ji Gui? You’re only allowed to set fire to a state official?”
In terms of this, Shang south was the least qualified to stand here and scold people with justice and shame! He married Han Xiulan, but lived with Liu Lian, his mistress, for the rest of his life. In the end, he was framed by someone by his pillow. What right did he have to educate his son?
Hearing his sarcasm, Shang Yuhan’s face turned red and then white. The atmosphere in the study instantly froze.
“I know you have a grudge against me, but your wife is different from your mother. Ji Yan is a good girl, so it’s up to you to decide. Shang family, I’ll leave it to you. Don’t ruin our Ji Gui’s efforts because of women.”
He sighed heavily, as if he had been old for a few years. Then he waved his hand to let Shang Jingshen go out.
It was rare to see Shang’s words full of responsibilities. Shang Jinshen’s black eyes flashed, and then he opened the door and walked out. At a glance, he saw Ji Yan standing quietly in the living room.
Their eyes met, and no one spoke first. However, at this time, there was a happy sound at the door. Maggie walked in with a smile, holding the arm of Mrs. Shang, with a lot of luxury goods in her left hand.
As soon as Maggie saw Shang Jingshen, she was surprised. She quickly put down the things in her hand and ran over. She said with a sweet smile, “Shen, are you back? I went shopping with my aunt and bought you a limited edition coat. Try to see if you like it or not.”
Mrs. Shang looked at this scene with a smile, and the satisfaction in her eyes was so obvious. After the two of them came in, they directly ignored Ji Yan, as if she did not exist in this family.
As for Ji Yan, she was still calm. Shang Jinshen did not look at Maggie, but stared at Ji Yan’s jade-like face with his black eyes. He was so serious and focused.
Maggie immediately clenched her teeth and felt jealous and bitter in her heart. Since when did Shen, who only looked at her, have other women in his eyes?
Mrs. Shang’s disdainful eyes, Maggie’s jealous eyes, and his emotionless eyes, Ji Yan lowered her eyes and turned to go upstairs. She was as quiet as a porcelain doll.
“Shen.” Seeing that Ji Yan had left, Maggie wanted to regain Shang Jingshen’s attention.
He looked down at Maggie, who seemed to have been wronged, and then thought of the crazy scandal. His mood suddenly became serious and he couldn’t show any good expression to Maggie.
“Does the atmosphere have anything to do with you?” he asked coldly.
Maggie couldn’t believe that he didn’t care about anything. The first thing he said was to question her. Her wide-open eyes were gradually filled with tears.
“Son, how can you be so fierce to Xiao Qi?” Seeing this, Mrs. Shang came over with dissatisfaction. She took Maggie’s hand and stood aside, saying, “Don’t you know what kind of feelings Xiao Qi has for you? She will feel terrible if you wronged her now.”
She rolled her eyes upstairs and said, “Besides, what can happen to a little scandal? If she can’t stand it, she can leave the Ji Gui on her own. There are many women who want to be the young madam of the Ji Gui.” These words clearly expressed her dislike for Ji Yan. She didn’t doubt that if the scandal was true, the madam might be happier.
Hearing this, Maggie was happy in her heart, but she didn’t show it on her face. Instead, she persuaded Mrs. Shang in a soft voice, “Auntie, don’t say that. These are just rumors. Miss Ji is generous and will understand.”
It sounded like she was speaking for Ji Yan, but Maggie didn’t want to call Ji Yan Young Mrs. Shang. She knew that Shang Jinshen didn’t like scheming women, so she had to be kind and pure.
Mrs. Shang caressed Maggie’s hair lovingly and sighed. “You silly girl. You’ve been in love with Jin Shen for so many years, but…” Mrs. Shang didn’t finish her sentence, but there was a strong sense of reproach for Ji Yan.
Maggie lowered her head and smiled shyly. “I did it voluntarily. Aunt, I can’t forget Shen no matter what.”
After that, Maggie looked at Shang Jingshen from the corner of her eyes. She wanted to know how he would react when he heard her confession.
However, the indifferent look in Shang Jinshen’s eyes disappointed Maggie. She began to panic completely. “Does Shang Jinshen really dislike me? Does he have no affection for me at all?”
She left Mrs. Shang’s arms and walked up to Shang Jinshen. She raised her head stubbornly and said with tears in her eyes, “Shen, do you really blame me for leaving you abroad? I’m sorry. I admit that I was wrong at that time. I gave you up for my dream. But I regretted it a long time ago. I didn’t know how wrong I was until I was abroad. I couldn’t forget you at all.”
