Shang Jinshen glanced at her, and Maggie looked at him innocently. Shang Jinshen didn’t say anything more and walked inside. However, the reporters kept taking pictures of their intimate behavior.
“Be careful. You don’t rely on the hidden rules.” Maggie accidentally heard Shang Jinshen’s deep voice, and her heart sank. How could she not hear Shang Jinshen’s warning?
She took the opportunity to let go of Shang Jinshen’s arm and sat in her seat. Shang Jinshen was handsome and cold, and his face was still half disfigured.
The content of the press conference was very simple. Shang Jinshen just said a few words in a formal way to show his importance. Maggie, on the other hand, was no longer perfunctory and answered the questions very seriously.
Maggie’s image was beautiful, and her sweet face was the most suitable spokesperson, which would make people feel extremely cordial.
It had to be said that as the spokesperson of the Ji Gui group, Maggie was beneficial to the development of the Ji Gui group, so the press conference naturally ended perfectly.
At the end of the story, a reporter asked about the relationship between Shang Jinshen and Maggie. Shang Jinshen glanced at him coldly, and then Lan Si immediately came forward to answer the question. After that, he went back and immediately knew that the young master had banned the blind reporter.
As the spokesperson, Maggie would naturally provide a place to live for her, so Maggie reluctantly moved out of the shop and into a very high-end apartment.
She was originally opposed to it, but when she recalled the resolute look in Shang Jingshen’s eyes at that time, Maggie didn’t dare to disobey his decision.
Therefore, when Maggie moved out of the shop, she was full of grievances. Seeing this, Mrs. Shang directly told her son that she wanted Maggie to live in peace.
Maggie was moved. In the end, she took Mrs. Shang’s hand and said that she didn’t want to hurt their relationship because of her. It didn’t matter if she moved out to keep her.
Such considerate words made Mrs. Shang like Maggie even more. Compared with Maggie, Ji Yan always became the reason why she quarreled with her son.
Mrs. Shang immediately hated Ji Yan even more. Seeing this, Maggie lowered her head and showed a proud look. If she left, she would not let Ji Yan live a good life in the Ji Gui.
In the evening, Mrs. Shang sat on the sofa with an expression of blaming.
When Ji Yan came back, she was stunned. When she heard Mrs. Shang’s harsh voice, she said, “Kneel down!”
“Madam, what did I do wrong?” She narrowed her eyes and asked.
Mrs. Shang raised her eyebrows in anger and slapped the cane in her hand on the ground. Her voice was very loud. “Are you still asking me what you’ve done wrong? If you hadn’t provoked me in the middle, would my son treat me like this? You’ve been married for almost a year, and you haven’t given birth to a son or a daughter for the merchants. If it were in ancient times, our merchants would have divorced you!”
Ji Yan finally understood what was wrong with Mrs. Shang, who came to vent her anger on her.
She took a deep breath and replied, “So Madam is going to use the domestic discipline on me again?”
“It’s only natural for me to teach my daughter-in-law a lesson!” Lady Shang said matter-of-factly.
Of course, it was impossible for Ji Yan to let Mrs. Shang beat her. She looked at Mrs. Shang with sharp eyes and said, “In ancient times, it was natural and proper. But now it’s a new society. If you do it, it’s domestic violence.”
“What’s more, I don’t think I have made any mistakes. Madam, if you really think I have done something wrong, then go find your son and ask him to divorce me!” After that, she turned around and went upstairs coldly.
Mrs. Shang was so angry that she was trembling. She couldn’t believe that Ji Yan dared to talk to her like that. She immediately rushed over with the cane and raised her hand to hit Ji Yan’s back.
Madam Zhang was shocked, and the plate in her hand fell to the ground.
Ji Yan turned around and dodged. Seeing that she had missed, Mrs. Shang was naturally unwilling to give up and chased after Ji Yan.
She didn’t expect that Mrs. Shang would become so crazy that she didn’t care about the noble lady’s manners at all. Ji Yan looked at the thick cane and remembered the pain of the cane in the past. Suddenly, her wrist was numb, and she was hit by Mrs. Shang with a careful step.
“Madam, don’t hit people. Stop!” Mrs. Zhang followed her in a hurry to stop her.
Mrs. Shang was so angry that she couldn’t stop her. With a push, Mrs. Zhang fell to the ground and touched the corner of the table.
Ji Yan was anxious and shouted, “Mrs. Zhang!”
She rushed over to help Mrs. Zhang up, but Mrs. Shang gave her a heavy blow on her back.
Ji Yan groaned, but she didn’t care about it and went to help Mrs. Zhang up. She asked anxiously, “Mrs. Zhang, are you okay?”
Seeing that she had been hit, Mrs. Shang’s eyes lit up with satisfaction. She struck Ji Yan’s back again with her stick.
Ji Yan protected Mrs. Zhang and couldn’t avoid it, but the pain didn’t fall on her. She trembled and looked up for a long time.
Holding the cane in his wife’s hand with one hand, Shang Jinshen threw the cane to a corner in the distance with all his strength. Mrs. Shang looked at her son, who suddenly came back, in a daze.
“Son, son, why did you come back so early?”
He held Ji Yan with one hand and said coldly, “Don’t you want to be beaten by you when you come back? When did the merchant’s wife learn to abuse her daughter-in-law?”
Hearing Shang Jinshen’s questioning, Mrs. Shang’s face darkened. “I, it’s your daughter-in-law’s fault. What’s wrong with me teaching her a lesson?”
She stared at Ji Yan, but Ji Yan was focused on checking on Madam Zhang. Seeing that she was just a little dizzy and had nothing else to do, she was relieved and said, “Madam Zhang, you go back and have a rest first.”
Ji Yan turned to Mrs. Shang and said in a low voice, “Mrs. Shang, I admit that you hit me, but Mrs. Zhang is innocent. Her family has just had a new grandson this year. How can you explain to Mrs. Zhang’s family if you accidentally hurt her? How cruel is her family to the merchants?”
When Mrs. Shang heard this, she became even more displeased. “You dare to teach me a lesson? I’m going against you!”
“What are you doing? Han Xiulan, if you don’t know what’s good for you, get divorced. You can go wherever you want!” Shang Yunan roared and looked at Han Xiulan. He had no patience at all.
How could the former eldest daughter of the Han family be like a shrew now?
Shang Jinshen looked at them coldly and pulled Ji Yan upstairs with a snort. He couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to the old couple who were like enemies.
Hearing the sharp voice of Mrs. Shang downstairs, Ji Yan sneered, but her head was suddenly hit by Shang Jinshen.
She looked up and glared at him. “Why did you hit me?”
“I’d like to see if you know how to hide. You’re really stupid. Don’t you know how to hide when you hit me?” Shang Jinshen seemed to be teaching him a lesson, but his tone was not heavy.
Ji Yan was stunned when she heard that. Only then did she realize that he was saying that she didn’t know how to hide when she was beaten by Mrs. Shang just now. Ji Yan turned her face away and said, “I’m hiding.”
Had he dodged it or been hit by it? If he hadn’t arrived in time and hit her with the stick, her tender skin and flesh would have been torn open again!
“What are you doing?” Ji Yan pushed Shang Jingshen angrily, but he was much stronger than her, so he pushed her directly to the bed and lay down.
Shang Jinshen raised an eyebrow and said with a sneer, “What are you thinking about?” He took off the clothes on her back and saw an eye-catching red mark. As expected, she was hurt.
His eyes darkened. He went to fetch the medicine and then started to apply it on her back.
