“What’s wrong? Look at how angry you are.” Xiao Yuting looked up at Maggie, who had smashed the pillow cup when she came back, while trimming her nails.
“Pa!” There was another crisp sound. The girl’s photo in the photo frame suddenly fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
“Ji Yan, that b*tch, is back. How dare she put on airs at me? She thinks too highly of herself!” Maggie said angrily. She crossed her arms over her chest and glared at Xiao Yuting on the sofa. Since she brought this woman back, it was useless. She had raised a person for free. How could Maggie not be angry?
Hearing this, Xiao Yuting put down her nails and looked fierce. “Ji Yan is back? It seems that Ji Yan is not simple to make Maggie so angry.”
She smiled and said to Maggie, “I suggest you find a way to send me back to the Xiao family. I can’t help you at all here.”
Maggie frowned. Wouldn’t it be suspicious to send Xiao Yuting back at this time? But, if she did this, Xiao Yuting would really be a useless person. She could only use her identity as the young lady of the Xiao family.
“Let me think of a way. Be quiet these days and don’t let Shang Jingshen’s people find out that you are here,” Maggie said in a bad tone.
Xiao Yuting lowered her head and said, “Hmm.” She covered the resentment in her eyes. She was just a little star, but she dared to criticize her.
Hmph, when she returns to the Xiao family, those who have provoked her will not be able to live an easy life!
Maggie saw that Xiao Yuting had become like a dead person again. She snorted angrily, picked up her bag, slammed the door, and walked out.
Each of them had their own thoughts. They were really in cahoots with each other. But it was also destined that the two of them would become enemies sooner or later.
When Ji Yan woke up, she found herself lying in a hard but warm embrace. She opened her eyes and looked up, just in time to see his rare gentle eyes.
Looking at each other, the warm atmosphere was moving back and forth between them for a long time.
Ji Yan smiled and sat up carefully, for fear that she would touch the wound on his shoulder.
There was still a trace of blood on the spot. She reached out to touch the wound and asked, “Does it still hurt?”
The little woman was so gentle and caring in his arms. How could he still feel the pain? It was just a small injury, but she cared so much about it.
He shook his head gently. Before he could say anything, he heard Ji Yan say again, “Are you hungry? Shall I prepare dinner for you?”
Looking at the sky, they slept until the evening. As soon as Ji Yan finished speaking, she nimbly rolled down from his body and walked out.
He looked at the empty arms and showed a hint of amusement. “When did my little woman become like the wind and the rain?”
However, the feeling of being cared for was really good.
Unfortunately, the warm atmosphere was completely broken during the meal.
As soon as Mrs. Shang entered the door, she walked anxiously to Shang Jinshen, who had just gone downstairs. She looked around and said in a hurry, “Son, I heard from Maggie that you were injured. What’s going on? Why did you hurt yourself because of Ji Yan?”
Mrs. Shang sounded very anxious, but as a mother, she only asked what was going on with her son as soon as she arrived. She was not worried about her son’s injury. It was not serious. This kind of “care” made Shang Jinshen’s face slowly turn cold.
“It’s okay, it’s just a small injury.” He pushed away the hand of Mrs. Shang on his shoulder. He only knew that his son was injured, but he didn’t know where the injury was.
Ji Yan happened to come out. When she saw Mrs. Shang, she was stunned at first. Then she looked at the position where Mrs. Shang put her hand and said anxiously, “Madam, you’ve pressed Jin Shen’s wound with your hand…”
Hearing her voice, Shang Jinshen immediately looked up at her, his gaze becoming much gentler.
On the other hand, as soon as Mrs. Shang heard Ji Yan’s voice, she turned her head and scolded angrily, “You still have the face to come back! Don’t think that I don’t know that my son was injured because of you. You are a jinx! Since you came to our Ji Gui, our Ji Gui has been in trouble!”
The more Mrs. Shang said, the more she crossed the line. She walked straight past Ji Yan, pointed at her nose, and scolded, “I think you are the one who hit Kefu’s family! If you still want to save some face, you can leave our Ji Gui on your own. Don’t wait for me to kick you out!”
Ji Yan’s face turned pale. She had long been used to being insulted by Mrs. Shang, but she still couldn’t stand her husband’s big hat.
Indeed, he had encountered a lot of unfortunate things since he came to Shang Jinshen’s side.
But… how could she be blamed for that?
Seeing that Ji Yan was on the verge of collapse, a trace of reluctance flashed across Shang Jinshen’s eyes. He walked over and stood beside her. He said to Mrs. Shang, “Why are you beginning to learn the old ways of superstition?”
Mrs. Shang didn’t expect that her son would protect other women, so she hated Ji Yan even more. She said with an ugly face, “I’m superstitious? Tell me, did you get hurt because of her? Do you know what happened to the Ji Gui when you were on a Ji Gui trip? All the reporters are blocking our Ji Gui. Why don’t you ask your wife what she did?”
Mrs. Shang was in a violent mood. She was no longer as dignified as she used to be. Her aggressive look made Shang Jinshen frown.
He sneered and retorted, “My fate is so miserable. Why should I blame others?” The scar on half of his face was the best proof. He didn’t need Ji Yan to deal with him. When he was young, he got into a car accident for some reason and became like this.
Mrs. Shang’s face suddenly froze. She had obviously thought of this matter. After a while, she took a deep breath and said with a straight face, “In short, as long as I am your mother, this woman can’t continue to be the daughter-in-law of the merchant!”
Ji Yan stood beside Shang Jinshen and watched this scene silently. She thought that she could work hard for anything, but she couldn’t make her mother-in-law like this.
But since she had already said that she would not give up, she would try her best! Ji Yan held Shang Jingshen’s hand and gave him a faint smile. Then she looked at Mrs. Shang and said softly, “Mrs. Shang, I think I have a clear conscience after being with Jin Shen. I haven’t done anything wrong to him and the Ji Gui. From now on, I will be more careful and try my best to be Jin Shen’s wife. Please give me and Jin Shen a chance.”
She couldn’t let Shang Jin go to argue with Mrs. Shang, so she would do it herself.
Her firm and persistent expression stunned both Shang Jinshen and Mrs. Shang. Looking at her strong little face, Mrs. Shang couldn’t help but want to believe what she said.
But then, she remembered how much she hated her daughter-in-law, who had no family background and was in trouble. It was too late for her to drive her out, so how could she give her a chance?
