Di Hao was located on the bustling Chun Hua Street.
The banquet covered a vast area, enough to accommodate rich and powerful people from all walks of life. Ji Yan stood at the corner of the banquet, picked up a glass of red wine, and slowly tasted it. Looking at the men and women who were talking to each other and toasting each other, Ji Yan’s mouth curved into a faint sneer. She didn’t know how sincere these people were when they looked at them.
The surrounding cameras kept flashing. Ji Yan looked at everything in front of her indifferently, as if nothing could arouse her curiosity. As long as she saw Director Ji, she would leave this place, which was such a hypocritical place.
“Ji Yan?” A shocked and angry voice rang out beside her. When the luxuriously dressed Mrs. Shang saw Ji Yan, she couldn’t help but scream out loud. The noble madams surrounding her, upon seeing Mrs. Shang’s shocked and angry expression, were all trying to guess the identity of this woman.
The temperament of this woman was very unique. Her beauty was not dazzling, but it was not covered by the dazzling luxury and brilliance. What a beauty.
“Mrs. Shang.” Ji Yan turned back and answered politely. She didn’t want to argue on such an occasion. After greeting her, she planned to leave.
“Stop right there.” Mrs. Shang refused to give in.
Ji Yan paused and frowned. Seeing that she was unwilling to let go of her, she turned around and stared at her. Did she still think that she was allowed to be insulted by her?
“You’d better remember your identity.” Mrs. Shang warned Ji Yan in a cold voice with a cold face. Her originally pampered face was twisted and deformed, looking a little mean.
Ji Yan smiled coldly and said, “Of course I know who I am. I’m afraid you don’t remember who you are.”
Mrs. Shang didn’t expect Ji Yan to be so sharp-tongued. Her face darkened and she said again, “You’ve been divorced by the merchants. Don’t pester Jin Shen with your best status. A woman like you can’t build ties with him. If I find out that you’re pestering him again, don’t blame me for being heartless.”
The onlookers couldn’t help whispering. They didn’t expect that the woman with a good temperament was such a person.
Someone couldn’t help but ask, “Who is this man?”
“Ji Yan, a few years ago, she flirted with another man and was abandoned by Young Master Shang.” Someone answered.
“Since she has been divorced, why is she still here?” Someone asked everyone’s question.
“Could it be that he sneaked in to beg for Young Master Shang’s forgiveness and return to a good place?”
While everyone was guessing, Ji Yan looked at the crowd with a sneer. Could their poor imagination only think of these things?
Immediately, a woman in a water-red dress came over, looked at Mrs. Shang, and then glanced at Ji Yan. “Auntie Shang, what happened?”
“Mo Mo, you’ve come so well. This woman used to have an affair with another man and was seen through by my Jin Shen. Now she’s here to pester me. You’re the daughter-in-law I like. You must be careful of her. After all, I don’t know what she will do for the position of the young mistress of a merchant.” Mrs. Shang deliberately ridiculed Ji Yan.
After listening to Mrs. Shang’s words, the corners of the red-dressed woman’s mouth curled up slightly. What was there to compete with such a bad woman? She comforted Mrs. Shang in a gentle voice, “Auntie Shang, don’t be angry. It’s not worth it for such a slutty person. It will dirty our land if we keep her here. Why don’t we ask the security guards to take her away so as not to disturb everyone’s interest?”
Mrs. Shang nodded in agreement with the woman’s proposal.
Ever since his son divorced Ji Yan, he had never touched another woman. He was so worried about Mrs. Shang. Could it be that Jin Shen had not forgotten Ji Yan, but he had never mentioned Ji Yan. Originally, he was going to marry Maggie, but he did not expect that those things would happen. This time, she had to choose a gentle and virtuous wife for her son.
Ji Yan stood there calmly and said slowly, “You worry too much. If possible, I don’t want to have anything to do with Shang Jinshen!”
Mrs. Shang was stunned and a little angry. Did this woman dislike her son?
“What are you doing at my son’s banquet after getting divorced? I can see through a woman like you at a glance. I advise you not to play tricks.” Mrs. Shang shook her head and stared at Ji Yan with disapproval.
“Haha, I’m really unlucky to marry into your family. If Mrs. Shang has the right to touch your son, please tell him not to pester me anymore.”
Mrs. Shang’s face was very ugly. She looked up and down at Ji Yan and said with a sneer, “No wonder you are so confident. I don’t know which man you seduced.”
“Shut up.”
When the crowd heard the voice, they looked at the man who had just entered the door. He was wearing a simple black suit, which perfectly outlined his strong figure. He was tall and straight, full of momentum. At this moment, his black face did not affect his handsome appearance at all. His frowning appearance made everyone blame him for provoking this noble man.
Ji Yan looked at the man. She used to be confused by his appearance, but she didn’t know that there was poison hidden beneath him. Looking at the stunning women present, she knew that the better the woman looked, the more toxic she was. Wasn’t she afraid of being hurt when she approached them? Now that she had been taught a lesson, she sneered.
“Mother, Miss Ji is an honored guest I invited.” Shang Jin frowned unhappily and said meaningfully.
As soon as he came in, he heard that his mother was making things difficult for Ji Yan. Back then, his mother was not satisfied with Ji Yan and often spoke ill of her. Now, she was making things difficult for Ji Yan indiscriminately. His mother had gone too far, but she could not say it directly on such an occasion, which made Ji Yan feel wronged.
Shang Jinshen glanced at the crowd with his amber eyes. Although he didn’t say a word, everyone subconsciously dispersed because of his anger.
“Jin Shen, you’re here.” Mrs. Shang looked at her excellent son and pulled over the woman in the red dress. “This is Uncle Huo’s woman. She just came back from England. You have to take good care of her.”
Mrs. Shang did not answer her son’s words. Since Ji Yan was invited by her son, she just pretended not to see her. Did she really treat this slutty woman with courtesy?
Shang Jinshen didn’t refuse, which made the woman a little shy. She didn’t expect Young Master Shang to be so handsome. When the family heard that Mrs. Shang had chosen a daughter-in-law for Young Master Shang, they immediately called her back from England. If she could win Young Master Shang’s favor and become his wife, her family would be able to go further. She could enjoy endless glory and wealth, but she didn’t expect that Young Master Shang would be so handsome and unrestrained, which could be regarded as killing two birds with one stone. The woman looked at Shang Jinshen with a shy and worshipful look.
Shang Jinshen didn’t care. He kept staring at Ji Yan, hoping to see the change in her expression.
As a result, Ji Yan didn’t move. She didn’t even look at him and went straight away.
Shang Jinshen had mixed feelings in his heart. She didn’t take him seriously at all. That was why she didn’t have any expression on her face when her mother introduced a woman to him. What was she hoping for?
They were about to dance. Mrs. Shang grabbed Shang Jinshen’s hand and put it together with the red-faced woman.
