Chapter 227: Change of Statement Fee

A few people raided the luxury stores, and even Chi Wenyan bought Ji Lin a birthday present.

Time slipped away inadvertently. After the purchase, Wang Lan returned to the apartment, and Ji Wan and Chi Wenyan returned to the old house.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it's Ji Lin and Wang Lan's engagement party.

The engagement banquet organized by Ji Lin himself was naturally quite grand. The guests invited were all prominent figures in Yucheng, and some people from Kyoto even came specially.

Ji Wan and Chi Wenyan walked into the banquet hall hand in hand, and they attracted a lot of attention as soon as they appeared.

It's hard for the handsome man and beautiful woman not to attract attention. Ji Wan was wearing a light blue floor-length dress inlaid with tiny diamonds, which looked like stars as she walked.

Her hair is elegantly tied up, with a few strands hanging on both sides of her cheeks, making her look more gentle and charming.

Chi Wenyan was wearing a custom-made black suit, the straight lines of which outlined his perfect figure. He exuded a cool and charming temperament, attracting the attention of many wealthy women.

"That's great, Mr. Chi. You've charmed so many people the moment you come in." Ji Wan said softly, with a teasing look on his face.

"I only care about you."

Chi Wenyan stared at her, as if Ji Wan was the only one here and no one else was worthy of his attention.

"You have to restrain yourself."

The two of them walked to the center of the banquet hall, laughing and joking, but Ji Wan saw a few familiar faces.

Zhao Shanshan, her parents, and the people who bullied Wang Lan were all there.

Ji Lin and Wang Lan stood in the center of the banquet hall, they looked very happy.

Ji Lin was wearing a white suit, which gave him a humble and elegant aura, making him look very polite, not to mention his handsome appearance. It was hard not to notice him.

Wang Lan's haute couture white wedding dress is well-tailored, showing off her graceful figure perfectly, and her exquisite makeup is incredibly beautiful.

Maybe it was because it was the first time I was in front of so many people, so I felt a little shy, but that feeling of inferiority was completely gone.

Ji Wan nodded. That’s how it should be.

Ji Lin looked towards Ji Wan, confirmed that they had arrived, and nodded slightly.

The banquet began, Ji Lin took Wang Lan's hand and gave a speech, after which thunderous applause broke out.

"Are you tired of standing? Let's take a break."

“A little.”

Chi Wenyan helped Ji Wan find a stool to sit on. At this time, Ji Lin took Wang Lan downstairs. Immediately, some people came over to talk to them, especially Mr. Zhao from Jixiang Film, who pulled the reluctant Zhao Shanshan over.

"Mr. Ji, congratulations, congratulations, I wish you and your wife a happy marriage." Mr. Zhao said as he bent over, not daring to look directly at Ji Lin, but secretly observing his expression with the corner of his eyes.

"Thank you." Ji Lin's expression was indifferent, and Wang Lan's expression was even more so. The couple's expressions were surprisingly consistent.

Mr. Zhao's head was sweating, and he said quickly, "Mr. Ji, look, our previous cooperation has always been very pleasant. You can't break off cooperation with us this time because of such a small matter."

Ji Lin already knew that Wang Lan was bullied at Jixiang Film. Looking at Mr. Zhao's flattering appearance, he just sneered. There was no warmth in his smile. He was like an iceberg, emitting bursts of coldness.

"Mr. Zhao, do you think this is a trivial matter?" Ji Lin's voice was low, but it carried unquestionable majesty. The pressure from the superior pressed down on Mr. Zhao so hard that the people around him dared not breathe.

Mr. Zhao broke out in a cold sweat. He knew very well Ji Lin's status and influence in the Yucheng industry. If the cooperation was really severed, Jixiang Pictures' position in the industry would be in jeopardy.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly pulled Zhao Shanshan, who was standing beside him, and pushed her to the front.

"Mr. Ji, you see, Shanshan is an ignorant child. She knows she is wrong. Shanshan, why don't you hurry up and apologize to Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Gu?" Mr. Zhao said while signaling Zhao Shanshan with his eyes.

Zhao Shanshan was extremely reluctant, but under the pressure of her father, she had no choice but to speak.

"I'm sorry, Madam Gu. It was my fault before. Please forgive me."

Wang Lan looked at Zhao Shanshan, then at Mr. Zhao, and sighed softly.

"Mr. Zhao, today is an important day for Ji Lin and me. What you did is really inappropriate. Some things can't be solved with just an apology. If Ling Qianjin's tutoring could keep up, something like this wouldn't have happened."

Wang Lan's words were merciless. Zhao Shanshan was so angry that her face turned red and her neck became thick. She wanted to curse at him but was stopped by Mr. Zhao.

Ji Lin looked at Wang Lan in surprise, with delight in his eyes and encouragement on his face. "You're so bold to say it, your husband supports you," was written all over his face.

Mr. Zhao's face turned red and white, and he could only smile and teach him a lesson.

But no matter what he said next, Ji Lin resolutely withdrew his cooperation.

In the end, I could only leave in shame.

The others who wanted to apologize had no other choice but to leave with a sigh and a shake of their heads.

Ji Wan was not spared either. The two were surrounded and all kinds of polite words were thrown at them.

Ji Wan doesn't have to worry about anything, just keep smiling, because Chi Wenyan is there to protect her.

"Okay, everyone. My wife is not feeling well. Please excuse me."

After just a few words, Chi Wenyan didn't say anything else and walked out with Ji Wan. Others didn't dare to stop him. They said a few polite words and then dispersed.

Chi Wenyan gently pulled Ji Wan's hand and squeezed it.

"I'll take you to the lounge to rest. There are too many people here and I'm afraid I'll squeeze you."

Ji Wan nodded obediently and let Chi Wenyan lead her through the crowd to the lounge.

As soon as the two of them entered the lounge, Wang Lan hurried over, took off her wedding dress and changed into a formal dress.

"Wanwan, are you okay? I saw you guys surrounded outside just now. Are you having a miscarriage?"

"It's just a few words. I'm the one doing the talking. Don't worry, sister-in-law."

When Wang Lan heard her sister-in-law's words, her face turned red, but she didn't refute it. Then she took out a thick red envelope.

"This is the fee for changing your statement."

Ji Wan was stunned for a moment, then happily took over and called her sister-in-law several times, which made Wang Lan feel even more embarrassed.

Seeing that they had something to say, Chi Wenyan quietly left and closed the door.

Ji Wan took Wang Lan's hand and said softly, "Sister-in-law, I heard what you said about Mr. Zhao just now. That's right. Sometimes people just have to be tougher and can't always be manipulated by others."

Wang Lan nodded, her expression serious. "I know. I am now the mistress of the Gu family and Ji Lin's lover. I will definitely improve myself and will not be bullied anymore. If you have any problems in the future, go find your sister-in-law. She will support you!"

Ji Wan was amused and nodded, "Okay, I'll look for my sister-in-law if I have any problems in the future."

The two girls were chatting happily inside, while Chi Wenyan was leaning outside the door looking at his phone.

Ji Lin appeared beside him at some point, looking mysterious.

"I'll give you something."

"What?"

Ji Lin took out a red envelope and handed it to Chi Wenyan.

"Change your words fee, come on, call me brother."
