Chapter 134 Are you drunk? If you marry into my family, your father will raze my house to the ground.

Ji Tanyuan and Qin Yini left the police station, and Ji Tanyuan looked at the car parked outside.

She whispered to Qin Yini, "Let my uncle live there in his old age."

She hadn't forgotten Ji Ziqian's death, and Ji Ting certainly hadn't either, so this was the best ending she could give her uncle.

Even if he is released on medical parole in the future, he will still be under surveillance.

Qin Yini immediately understood.

"good."

She stepped down the steps and smiled faintly at the person in the car: "Young Master Shen, what are you doing here?"

She can't even face Shen Xichen anymore. She always feels that he is seriously ill and shouldn't be here. He should be in the hospital where her mother is staying.

Shen Xichen: "Do you have time? Can you talk to Miss Ji?"

"That's probably not the case."

Regardless of Shen Xichen's thoughts, whether for personal reasons or family interests, it made no difference to her.

With ill intentions.

Shen Xichen glanced behind her, then looked at Ji Tanyuan: "Aren't you curious about what I've done with your uncle? And how much inside information about the Ji family I have?"

Ji Tanyuan: "What I'm curious about is, what do you want to see me about?"

"Can't I visit Miss Ji unless there's a reason?"

Ji Tanyuan: "Of course, but I have something to do."

Shen Xichen narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Ji Tanyuan. "Really? Celebrating our wedding anniversary?"

Ji Tanyuan: "Ah, right, walking the dog, celebrating our wedding anniversary, eating, playing mahjong, working, these are all things. I'm very busy, Mr. Shen."

Ji Tanyuan spoke softly as she stood neatly in front of the car, her posture relaxed, her hair combed up to reveal her full forehead.

Her impatience was evident in her eyes; she didn't even bother to pretend.

Shen Xichen chuckled: "Then let's wait until Miss Ji has time. Happy wedding anniversary in advance."

"I also wish you a happy divorce." With that, the car window rolled up, and the car drove away.

Then Qin Yini's car drove up. "Shen Xichen?"

Ji Tanyuan looked in the direction the car had left and hummed in agreement.

He then got into the car and said, "Take me home."

Qin Yini thought of Shen Xichen, "Are you very close to him?"

Ji Tanyuan asked in surprise, "Why do you say that?"

Qin Yini was also puzzled, "I don't know either, but I just feel that you two are very familiar with each other. For example, you are both from the upper class in Shanghai. Although one of you is in business and the other is in politics, your family backgrounds are both quite high, as if you are in the same circle."

Ji Tanyuan: "But I really haven't said more than a few words to him."

She recalled what her uncle had said earlier that day, and realized she seemed to have fallen into a strange tale of rules.

Qin Yini escorted the person to the residential area, and Ji Tanyuan went upstairs.

Seeing Zhong Yan working in his office, the man had a marble island behind him, a wine glass on the table, a laptop in front of him, and a dog sleeping at his feet.

Seeing this scene, she finally felt a sense of reality.

Zhong Yan looked up. "You're back?"

Ji Tanyuan hummed in agreement and put her bag down.

He walked over, picked up a new glass, poured himself a glass of whiskey, and took two sips.

The spicy liquor burned her throat, and she wiped her mouth. "It's killing me!"

Zhong Yan pulled the person onto her lap and hugged her, somewhat puzzled: "Is it that spicy? Let me try it."

Without giving Ji Tanyuan time to react, he lowered his head and kissed her.

Ji Tanyuan's mouth was covered, and she looked down at him.

She could see Zhong Yan's long eyelashes and his sharp, piercing eyes.

Zhong Yan slowly kissed his earlobe from the corner of his lips: "What, do you still think I'm very handsome?"

Ji Tanyuan frowned: "What do you mean by 'or'?"

Zhong Yan: "Didn't you go see the other wild ducks?"

Ji Tanyuan choked, "How can you talk like that? I said there are only girls, no boys."

"Besides, why do you call it a wild duck? What are you?"

Zhong Yan said without changing his expression, "I am a human being."

"..." Ji Tanyuan was speechless.

She reached out and grabbed his ear. "You're not human."

Zhong Yan clicked his tongue, "Ji Tanyuan, you're going too far. Pulling my ear, do you think I'm henpecked?"

Ji Tanyuan laughed, "No, Ji is divorced, so what does that make her a henpecked husband?"

Zhong Yan hugged her tightly, "We can remarry. Tell me, how about I marry into your family?"

Ji Tanyuan: "Are you drunk? If you marry into my family, your father will raze my house to the ground."

They already had grievances against her, and if she were to take away his youngest son, wouldn't the Ji family be in deep trouble?

Zhong Yan frowned. He had finally managed to say those words, fueled by alcohol, but Ji Tanyuan refused.

His face immediately turned cold. He released the person, and Ji Tanyuan stood up. Zhong Yan turned around and drank a glass of wine.

"If you don't agree, I'll wipe out your family's stock tomorrow."

Ji Tanyuan thought he was really drunk.

"I don't want it, you can shovel it, tomorrow's Saturday."

"Then Labor Day."

Thinking of this, Ji Tanyuan said, "We can announce our divorce in the next couple of days. That way, we won't need to apply to the stock exchange for a temporary suspension in advance, since the stock market won't be open during the long weekend anyway."

Zhong Yan took a sip of wine. "Whatever you say."

Ji Tanyuan glanced at him, then bent down and said, "Are you angry? Then let's announce it the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow is a special day, right?"

Zhong Yan chuckled sarcastically, "No way, announcing a divorce on your wedding anniversary, how wonderful."

Ji Tanyuan: "..."

She ran back to the bedroom, and Zhong Yan's expression grew even colder.

There was no point in staying here any longer. Disheartened, he closed his laptop and prepared to leave.

Just as I stood up, the person came running over again.

Snap

She placed a box in front of him and said, "I also prepared a wedding anniversary gift for you."

Zhong Yan was stunned. "What?"

Ji Tanyuan: "Didn't you say you wanted to celebrate? Then let's celebrate. I've always valued a sense of ritual. I like celebrating all kinds of holidays and receiving gifts."

Zhong Yan immediately understood, "You want that island, don't you?"

Ji Tanyuan sighed and pointed at him, "You're talking about me, not me."

"Didn't you say you had the money to buy it? That you didn't want me to buy it for you?"

Ji Tanyuan: "You've already bought it, otherwise it would be a waste."

Zhong Yan sneered, "Ji Tanyuan, you're quite the player."

He took the box and said before opening it, "Let me make this clear first: if I'm not satisfied with a gift that only has a price but no sentiment, then there's no point in talking about it."

Ji Tanyuan was speechless. "I used my hard-earned money to buy you a gift. How is that not a token of my affection? Love is where the money is. Haven't you heard that?"

Zhong Yan stopped opening the box and turned to look at her.

"What did you say?"

“I said give me that island.”
