We don’t know what Mrs. Ji and Ji Yangchen are thinking right now, but the ladies around them are already staring in astonishment.

They never dreamed that Mrs. Ji, Gu Yueming, and Qin Sheng had such a relationship.

And...parent-teacher meeting...

So it must have happened in public.

This is so interesting...

Leaving aside the fact that Mrs. Ji and Gu Yueming have a notoriously strained relationship, let's talk about the Qin family and the Ji family.

One is the most powerful family in Ancheng, while the other, although also a powerful family, can only rank in the twentieth at most in terms of assets and background, and is incomparable to the Qin family at all!

With such a disparity, how dare Mrs. Ji set her sights on the Qin family's only precious child?

If someone like Ji Yangchen is acceptable, then why would she, Mrs. Ji, even be considered?

So many eligible young men in their family have already gone to bed!

Putting all that aside, which family doesn't first find a middleman to sound out the other party's intentions before discussing marriage, and only after confirming that the other party is also interested will they formally meet and then discuss the follow-up matters.

They had never heard of or seen anything like Mrs. Ji, who chose a time of a bustling parent-teacher meeting to propose marriage directly with a so-called "birth date chart".

There is absolutely no respect involved!

If everyone previously thought Gu Yueming's reaction was a bit excessive, their expressions changed instantly after hearing Qin Sheng's words.

Of course!

If it were their family encountering such a bizarre situation and such a strange person, kicking them out would be too lenient; they should just throw them out and cut off all ties!

They clearly have ill intentions!

So everyone's tone changed.

A woman glanced at Mrs. Ji's slightly swollen ankle and said worriedly, "Your foot is so swollen. It doesn't look like a simple sprain. There might be something wrong inside. Family doctors aren't well-equipped to treat injuries like this. You should take her to the hospital as soon as possible."

"Yes, yes, it does look a bit scary. I hope nothing bad happens, otherwise Mrs. Qin might be blamed again. Let's send her to the hospital to avoid any misunderstandings later."

“I’ve already called 120, the ambulance will be here soon. Mrs. Ji, just bear with it a little longer, you’ll be fine once you get to the hospital.”

"Hey, you brat from the Ji family, why are you still standing so far away? Can't you see your mother's leg is broken? Hurry up and help her up!"

In one sentence, everyone's attention was diverted to Ji Yangchen's side.

Ji Yangchen's expression had already changed when his mother fell to the ground, and when Qin Sheng mentioned what happened at the school's parent-teacher conference that day, his expression changed again, until now it was so pale that it was unrecognizable.

Despite the many pairs of eyes that were either watching the show, expressing dissatisfaction, or hinting at something deeper, he still managed a forced smile and walked towards Mrs. Ji.

He helped the person up from the ground, but instead of leaving immediately, he turned to look at Qin Sheng.

He looked apologetic and said, "Qin Sheng, I only found out about what happened last time later. I'm sorry, my mother didn't think things through and caused trouble for you and your mother."

A seemingly polite remark actually shifted all the blame onto Mrs. Ji.

Qin Sheng gave a cold laugh.

To be honest, she actually looked down on Ji Yangchen more than the domineering and nonsensical Mrs. Ji.

Qin Sheng glanced at him coldly and said indifferently, "Only Miss Qin is here."

In one sentence, he sealed off the last vestiges of friendship between classmates.

Ji Yangchen's face turned pale and then bluish.

His hand, which was supporting his mother's arm, tightened unconsciously, and his face showed his utter disarray.

Mrs. Ji couldn't bear to see her son suffer. She didn't even care about the pain in her feet or the dirt on her body. She limped forward and glared at Qin Sheng like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

"Miss Qin, you think you're so great? If it were a few months earlier, you'd just be an adopted daughter living under someone else's roof, only used as a socialite by your adoptive mother! Who do you think you are?!"

"Qin Sheng, let me tell you, it's your good fortune that my son is interested in you! With your reputation back then, who would care!"

She glared at Qin Sheng, then at Gu Yueming, and sneered, "Just like your mother, you're nothing but a pretty vase. I'd like to see how long Second Master Qin and this Third Young Master Fu can keep you both!"

Mrs. Ji was furious when she saw that her plan was not going to work out. She didn't even bother to maintain basic courtesy and started spewing sarcastic remarks.

But these words really stirred up a hornet's nest.

Even Qin Zheng and Qin Muyuan, who were initially hesitant to participate due to their gender or identity, came over.

Fu Jingheng pulled his little girl into his arms and sneered, "Then we'll see if you live long enough."

Qin Zheng also hugged his little wife: "It's better than Mrs. Ji never being cherished at all."

The four Qin brothers said, "Miss Qin is quite remarkable. Putting everything else aside, just one word from my sister and believe me, your Ji family could go bankrupt tomorrow."

"Break! Tomorrow is too late, break it today!"

No sooner had Qin Shi'an finished speaking than Gu Yueming retorted fiercely.

Her eyes were bloodshot, making her look more like an old hen than Mrs. Ji.

Gu Yueming truly didn't expect that even after so much time had passed, and everything had been clarified so clearly, with the Pei family completely finished, people would still bring up these things!

And this is Gu Yueming's lifelong regret and lifelong pain!

All the things Mrs. Ji had ever done to provoke her in the past combined did not make her hate these words as much as they did today!

How dare she call her daughter a "pretty face"?!

Has she ever seen a national knowledge competition champion, the successor to the president of the Chinese Academic Association, a vase who excels in medicine, music, and scientific research but is nothing more than a pretty face?!

Previously, Gu Yueming had only thought about avoiding unnecessary trouble and simply kicking the person out, but now she had a different idea.

She's determined to destroy Mrs. Ji and the Ji family she's so proud of!

She wanted everyone to know that her daughter was the treasure of the Qin family, and no one could touch her!

Coincidentally, Fu Jingheng thought the same thing.

They had even made the arrangements beforehand, after seeing the surveillance video.

So, just as Qin Zheng and Qin Shi'an were preparing to contact people to deal with the Ji family, Ji Hao's call had already reached Ji Yangchen's cell phone.

He yelled, "How many times have I told you? Don't think about things you shouldn't, and don't entice your mother to be the one to stick her out for you. Do you really want the entire Ji family to be buried with your petty resentment before you're satisfied?!"

"Ji Yangchen, right now, bring your mother back here!"

"I'm giving you thirty minutes, or don't come back!"

Ji Hao's voice came through the receiver, and the last trace of color drained from Ji Yangchen's face.

Not daring to even glance around, he half-supported and half-dragged Mrs. Ji away.

But Mrs. Ji seemed to be nailed to the spot and refused to leave.
