“Don’t think you can convince me just because you’re obedient. Ji Yan, if you’re doing this for my son’s good, you should take the initiative to leave. You’re not fit to be Young Mrs. Shang!” Mrs. Shang frowned, her face full of displeasure.
“According to my family background, I’m indeed not from the same family as the merchants. But, I won’t be inferior to anyone else. At least I’m willing to work hard. My mother always wants my son to be happy. Why can’t you let us have a try ourselves?” Ji Yan said word by word. Her words were clear, and her eyes were full of pride.
She had never seen such an expression on Ji Yan before. In the past, she had always been patient when she met Mrs. Shang. Whenever she encountered something, she would always avoid it. She had never expressed her thoughts and stance so firmly.
But it had to be said that such a Ji Yan had a unique charm.
Shang Jin thought, “Maybe I shouldn’t be too worried. As long as this little wild cat is willing to stretch out its claws to fight against me, no one can bully me.”
Mrs. Shang was rendered speechless by Ji Yan. How could she say that her son’s happiness was not what her mother valued most?
But whether it was happiness or love, it was extravagant in the rich and powerful families. For example, there had never been such words in the marriage between her and Shang Yunan for decades.
She sneered and squinted at Ji Yan. “Happy? Are you sure it’s not for the money of the merchants?” Which woman could resist the temptation of glory and wealth? Haha.
Ji Yan also smiled. She looked up at Shang Jingshen and said, “Even if you are not the president of the Ji Gui in the future, I don’t care.”
Money was very important. She loved money, but she knew how to take it. If she wanted it, she just needed to work hard to get it. Why should she betray love?
Shang Jinshen was shocked. He might know that Ji Yan didn’t care about the merchant’s wealth at all, but it was the first time that he had heard her say it to him.
She could abandon the merchants and only care about him. Was that true?
Mrs. Shang clenched her fists, and there was no doubt that she was angry. For the first time, she felt that Ji Yan was so difficult to deal with.
Just as she was about to continue mocking him, she heard Shang Jingshen say coldly, “Enough. You don’t have to interfere in my affairs.”
Being indifferent and distant, Shang Jinshen only cared about his mother’s care and filial piety. As for other things, he was never a person who could be manipulated by others.
“Maggie can’t enter the shop, so you should stop thinking about it in the future. Don’t contact her too much.” Her mother suddenly rushed over. It must be Maggie who had called Mrs. Shang and said something.
However, it was better to put out all the thoughts that he shouldn’t have.
Seeing Shang Jinshen take Ji Yan away, Mrs. Shang scolded him from behind. “Are you blind? What’s wrong with Maggie? You…”
Shang Jinshen took Ji Yan to a small garden. As night fell, she stood there in a white dress, like a little angel.
She tilted her head to look at Shang Jinshen and asked, “What’s wrong with Maggie? You…” She thought that he was eager to marry her back. How could he give up his lover and choose her instead?
When Shang Jinshen heard Maggie’s words, he felt a little pain in his heart. The memories that he had suppressed in his bones surged up. The only little girl in his memory who could protect him had already changed.
Every time he saw Maggie’s current appearance, he would feel disappointed and pity. The person in front of him was no longer what he remembered. What could he do?
However, his wife, whom he had never cared about, made him feel a little warm again. He didn’t think about why he did this.
Looking at the complicated look on Ji Yan’s face, he replied lightly, “There’s nothing bad about it. Don’t think too much about it. We’re already married.”
Was it because he was already married? This was not the ancient times. If he wanted to get divorced, he had to find a husband. As long as he was unwilling, who could force him not to divorce?
Looking at Maggie, it didn’t seem that she had no feelings for him. The woman was so active, but he couldn’t figure out what she meant.
Could it be that he was playing hard to get? To punish Maggie for leaving that year? She couldn’t help thinking about it in this way. Last time, she saw the photo he cherished. How could she lose her feelings in such a short time?
“Forget it. It doesn’t matter what the reason is. As he said, they are already married.”
All of a sudden, Shang Jin looked at her deeply and asked, “Ji Yan, do you have anything to tell me?”
She was stunned and a little confused. However, seeing his serious look, she also thought about it seriously.
“What happened before?” She moved her lips and said slowly, “I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you in advance what happened when you were on a Ji Gui trip. I didn’t expect that he would kidnap my good friend. I didn’t want you to think about it at that time.” He was talking about Ji Zhengqing, so Ji Yan lowered her head.
Shang Jinshen’s expression did not change. “Is there anything else?”
What else?
Seeing that there was a hint of danger in his eyes, Ji Yan bit her lip and said softly, “Well, I accidentally met Chou Yan when I went to find Ji Zhengqing. I was also implicated and took him to the Bai family’s Wu City.”
When she mentioned Chou Yan’s name, she clearly felt a chill. Ji Yan thought, “Is he jealous? No way.”
Shang Jinshen was slightly satisfied with Ji Yan’s words. He had basically investigated what she said, but he still wanted to hear that she couldn’t say it herself.
“In the future, don’t let anything happen. Just tell me first.” She couldn’t hide it from him.
Ji Yan nodded obediently, feeling inexplicably sweet in her heart.
Only then did he stand up from the stone bench and walk out of the corridor. “I’m hungry.”
She immediately followed him. A smell of rice wafted out of the kitchen. Mrs. Shang was no longer around. She must have been pissed off again.
Ji Yan didn’t care much about it. To be honest, she felt very comfortable when Mrs. Shang was not there, but this was not a long-term solution.
At dinner, Ji Yan made two dishes and a soup. There were not many dishes, which were not as exquisite and beautiful as those made by the chef outside, but it was very delicious to smell.
In particular, Shang Jinshen had been starving for so long. Besides, he wanted to eat the food she cooked personally after returning from a Ji Gui trip, so he was very satisfied with this meal. His usually cold face also showed a satisfied expression.
Ji Yan cleaned her hands and took out the ointment. She looked at Jin Shen and said, “Jin Shen, I’m going to change your dressing.”
He let out a sound of acknowledgment and leaned against the couch, not even opening his eyes. He felt very comfortable.
… Ji Yan could only reach out to help his body, remove the gauze, disinfect, and then apply medicine again.
After a series of movements, her forehead was slightly sweaty because of his inability to cooperate with her.
Finally, it was settled. She took a long breath. In his eyes, she looked relieved, and he felt that she was very cute.
With a thought in his heart, he reached out his long hand and the beautiful woman fell into his arms. Then, a rain of kisses fell on her face and lips.
