“Cough, cough, cough!” The merchant’s mother covered her chest and coughed a few times, attracting everyone’s attention.
She looked in the direction of Ji Yan. A few seconds later, she looked sad again and turned her head to look elsewhere.
Someone couldn’t help but speak up for his mother. “Jin Shen, is this how you treat your mother? You’re letting others bully her.” As he spoke, he glanced at Ji Yan in disgust.
“Uh…” Ji Yan felt that she was really in trouble. From the beginning to the present, she had not said a word at all. How could she bully the upper hand?
Besides, she was not a tool for acting. Did the merchant’s mother really think that she would not lose her temper when she used her as an actress?
He secretly pinched Shang Jinshen’s thigh. He was in pain, but he still smiled at her, indicating that he would avenge her.
Turning around, he questioned the man who was speaking. “I don’t know how you could tell that someone is bullying my mother, nor do I know who the so-called others are.” He deliberately held Ji Yan in his arms and went on to say, “If you really want to be separated from each other, then you have to suffer from your uncles and aunts. In this room, only you can be regarded as others.”
“Pfft!” Ji Yan couldn’t help but burst into laughter. His ability to talk was getting stronger and stronger.
The man’s face turned livid. “Just like what my mother said, this Shang Jingshen has fallen in love with this woman!”
Seeing that the situation was not very good, Shang’s mother said, “I’m sorry for what happened today. I shouldn’t have asked everyone to come here just for a small matter. I’m so upset!”
Shang’s mother’s eyes were red and her face was haggard. She looked extremely haggard.
Only then did everyone remember the purpose of their trip. The man’s face became fierce again. “Let’s not talk about these questions first. But Jin Shen, how can you reduce your mother’s shares? How can you say that your mother’s shares will be reduced by one percent without having a fight with your woman? How can you let your mother live?”
“That’s right. Jin Shen, you can’t do that!”
“Well, change it. Don’t torture your mother like this for a woman!”
It sounded more pleasing to the ears than to the ears of the audience. They all looked like righteous gentlemen.
“That’s enough. If you’re here for this, I’ll tell you very clearly. I, Shang Jingshen, have my own money. I still have the right to distribute it. I don’t need anyone to teach me how to do it.” He looked at his mother in disappointment. He didn’t know who she was talking to. “Furthermore, as long as I can abide by the agreement, I won’t lose a single cent.”
After all, she was his biological mother. No matter when, he would give her a way out.
The man still wanted to say something, but was interrupted by another man.
“Well, since you’ve said so, we can’t persuade you anymore. You can deal with your own family affairs. It’s not easy for us to meddle in too much.”
The man who had been keeping quiet all this while stepped forward to gain an understanding of this trip. He could tell that Shang Jinshen had already made up his mind to punish his mother-in-law. No matter how much they said, it would be useless. Moreover, his mother-in-law was a powerless woman after all. She could only rely on the merchants behind her. Why did they have to offend the businessmen who were in power because of her? Wouldn’t the loss outweigh the gain?
Nodding with satisfaction, Shang Jinshen sighed with emotion. “Finally, there’s someone who understands.”
If it went on like this, he couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t drive them out in person.
“Send the guest out!”
Hearing this, the servant quickly led them to open the door. No matter how thick-skinned they were, they were too embarrassed to refuse to leave.
They both got up to bid farewell to Shang Jinshen and his mother. They were furious. This trip was not worth it.
“Don’t go. Stay here. Haven’t you solved the problem yet? Ask Jin Shen to change the will. I won’t accept this!” She grabbed the person who was about to leave. The merchant’s mother roared. What should she do if they all left her?
They were all useless good-for-nothings. Before they could solve the problem, they wanted to leave her behind. They had given them so much height in daily life, but now they had completely forgotten it!
Pushing the merchant’s mother’s hand away, the man said awkwardly, “It’s your family Ji Gui after all. Since Jin Shen’s attitude has been put on the table, it’s no use talking about it.”
“Moreover, I don’t think your daughter-in-law is a cunning person. You just need to get along well with her.”
After that, he kept a distance from the people in front of him and no longer entangled with Shang’s mother.
“All right! They’re gone! They’re all gone!” Shang’s mother’s face was full of tears. This time, she was really crying.
Why didn’t anyone help her? Everyone was waiting to see her make a fool of herself!
Shang’s mother collapsed on the sofa, her face full of resentment and unwillingness.
“Let’s go.” He didn’t want to see his mother keep making trouble, so he would rather stay away from her.
“Don’t go!” Shang’s mother shouted. “You must change your will!”
Since they had made such a mess today, she would not give up until she reached her goal!
With sparks in his eyes, Shang Jin stared at his mother. “How long are you going to make trouble? Since I’ve made it public, I won’t change it. Instead of thinking about it, you’d better get along well with her!”
This was his mother, a mother who was very persistent in money. For the sake of money, she did not hesitate to fall out with him, be aggressive, and even found so many outsiders to make trouble at home!
Sometimes, he was wondering if they would turn a blind eye to him if he, like his big brother, lost in the fight for the successor.
What they needed was just one, or a tool that could make money?
For so many years, he had not been happy. He had not been happy at all. Every day, he wanted to play more than others and not be the abandoned son. In the end, he had succeeded. He was the only one in the eyes of the two elders. His many years of dreams had finally been fulfilled.
But now, he regretted it. Why was he bound in this cold family? Why did he have to be opposed to what kind of woman he liked?
By the side, Ji Yan’s eyes were filled with worry. Looking at the situation, the two of them were about to make a scene. Thinking that they were mother and son after all, she wanted to persuade them. But before she could say anything, the merchant’s mother rushed into the kitchen and came out with a fruit knife in her hand.
“If you force me again, I will die for you!” The blade was facing the two people. It was incredible for Ji Yan to face such a situation. How could she be like this?
Closing his lips tightly, Shang Jinshen was so angry that he was completely disappointed. “Fine. If you want to die, then die!”
After that, she took Ji Yan’s hand and walked upstairs. Shang’s mother was stunned and her body went limp. She sat on the ground and burst into tears.
Of course, she didn’t really want to die. She was so excited that she threatened Shang Jinshen like this. However, Shang Jinshen knew his mother too well. How could a person who loved him the most commit suicide?
He was angry that his mother was unscrupulous and did not care about family affection at all.
