Shang Jin looked at her for a long time before he sighed and said, “I’m good to her because she saved my life.” It was not because he liked her. While he answered her, he really saw through his thoughts.
In fact, he had already let go of Maggie, except for the kindness of childhood.
“Then, who do you like?” When she heard this, her heart trembled, and she looked at him with her bright eyes.
In fact, she was not drunk like this. She just wanted to vent her anger with wine, but she didn’t expect to hear him say these things personally.
“Who do you like?” He smiled gently and said softly, “You.”
Ji Yan’s heart instantly blossomed like dry soil. It was incomparably gorgeous. Her face finally burst into a smile, and it was indescribably bright.
He was attracted by her and couldn’t help kissing her gently on the corner of her mouth, full of pity.
“Can you go home with me now?” he asked, amused.
Ji Yan was a little embarrassed and nodded shyly. The home of two people was the real home.
He held her hand and walked inside step by step.
The next day, as soon as Ji Yan went downstairs, she saw Mrs. Shang sitting in the living room. She was stunned for a moment, and then she heard Mrs. Shang suddenly look up at her and say, “Take care of yourself and go out with me.”
“The first one?” Ji Yan’s eyes were full of doubts.
Mrs. Shang said in an indifferent tone, “Come to Director Xiao’s house as a guest.”
“Director Xiao? Ji Yan has also heard about the corruption and bribery of Director Xiao in the city. Is it inappropriate to visit him at this time?”
“Director Xiao has fallen. The Xiao family hasn’t fallen yet. If we don’t pay attention to the complicated relationship, we will offend them. Let’s go and have a look. It won’t affect our Ji Gui.” Mrs. Shang seemed to explain and educate him. Although her eyes were still cold, she couldn’t see her disgust for Ji Yan at that time.
Maybe it was because of the fact that Ji Yan had saved her last time. No one knew what Mrs. Shang was thinking. This time, the Xiao family had invited her alone. In the end, she decided to come to the Ji Gui to take Ji Yan with her.
Ji Yan was a little confused. She knew very well what her wife was talking about. The reason why Director Xiao’s family invited people over at this time was that they wanted everyone to help them.
But who would take part in this mess? Who knew who Director Xiao had offended? But if he didn’t go, it would be too unreasonable and would be organized.
Therefore, she just wanted to go through the motions. Ji Yan didn’t understand why Mrs. Shang took her to attend the party. It didn’t matter whether she went or not. Anyway, she had no right in the Ji Gui.
However, Ji Yan also knew that she had no room for objection. She silently turned around and went upstairs to carefully make up for herself. The most important thing for Mrs. Shang was her appearance.
Ji Yan was a designer. She was talented, but she usually didn’t want to make things difficult for herself. Now she was carefully describing her appearance. In a short while, she appeared in the mirror with a noble temperament.
She put her black hair on the back of her head, and there was a plain and elegant petal on it, which made her look more dignified.
When Ji Yan appeared in a purple long-sleeved knee-length dress, Mrs. Shang, who was picky, couldn’t help showing her appreciation. This was the image of a daughter-in-law she wanted to take with her.
Since the incident with Zheng Wei, Mrs. Shang did not want any male housekeeper to follow her. She simply found a female bodyguard to be a driver and protect her.
After Ji Yan got in the car with Mrs. Shang, she saw from the mirror that the heroic-looking female driver was only in her twenties, but she looked very calm.
She looked away. More than an hour later, she arrived at the villa area of the Xiao family.
The whole family of the Xiao family was sent out. Their sons and daughters looked very spectacular. In addition, there were some powerful families and relatives of the Xiao family. If Director Xiao had not happened, the Xiao family would not have invited people to their house on purpose.
“Mrs. Shang, you’re finally here. Mrs. Liu is also here. She’s drinking tea inside.” Mrs. Xiao had a smile on her face. Except for her pale and tired face, she could not see anything unusual.
Mrs. Liu was the best friend she had ever made in the upper circle. Mrs. Shang nodded and smiled when she heard that. She introduced Ji Yan, turned around and walked in with her.
Looking at Ji Yan’s outstanding appearance, Madam Xiao couldn’t help but think, “How can a woman from the countryside have such a good temperament? It’s better than her daughter who has been carefully raised by me.”
“Mom, why are the merchants here?” Xiao Yuting came over with an unhappy look. Since the last incident, she had completely hated the merchants.
In particular, she had just seen the most annoying Ji Yan. How could she not be angry?
Madam Xiao glanced at her and warned, “Don’t offend me. Do you hear me? The merchants are not simple. If the merchants can help, maybe your father can…”
She didn’t finish her words and believed that Xiao Yuting could understand. Xiao Yuting turned around and left angrily. This feeling was really bad. She obviously hated that person, but she was not qualified to provoke him.
Anyway, she would not beg Ji Yan.
“Xiulan, you’re here?” When Madame Liu saw Mrs. Shang walking over with a smile on her face, she quickly stood up and asked in surprise.
Mrs. Shang also walked quickly to her side. Mrs. Liu saw Ji Yan with sharp eyes and asked, “Who is this?”
She knew that Han Xiulan had always looked down on her daughter-in-law, but she didn’t expect that she would bring her bad daughter-in-law here today.
Ji Yan nodded politely to Mrs. Liu. Her etiquette was perfect and flawless.
A satisfied look flashed across Mrs. Shang’s eyes. She said to Mrs. Liu, “Take her out to see the world. The daughter-in-law of the merchant can’t stay out for the rest of her life.”
Huh? Madame Liu was confused. Didn’t this Mrs. Shang always want her son and daughter-in-law to get divorced? Why did she change her attitude so quickly?
Before she could ask more, she heard Mrs. Shang whisper in her ear, “What’s your family’s attitude this time?”
Mrs. Shang was referring to her attitude towards the Xiao family. Mrs. Han heard her and replied softly, “That man asked me to come here. I can’t intervene in this matter.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Shang also nodded. It seemed that the Xiao family had offended a big shot this time. Madame Liu’s family did not dare to interfere.
At this time, Mrs. Liu’s daughter came over. Mrs. Shang turned to Ji Yan and introduced her. “Ji Yan, this is the daughter of your Aunt Liu. Her education is very high. She is now a doctor, isn’t she?”
Hearing this, Madame Liu proudly said, “Well, where are the two doctors?”
Mrs. Shang praised Ji Yan with a smile for a while and said, “You young people should go and have a talk. Don’t just stand here.”
After saying that, Ji Yan looked at Mrs. Liu’s double doctors’ daughter. She also nodded and then walked out side by side with her.
