Because he was held down by Shen Mingzhu and his scattered hair covered most of his face, Ji Ci was unable to tell who was being held down by Shen Mingzhu.
And Shen Mingzhu only said in her heart that he was a lunatic.
Ji Ci's words "Chen Yuan" finally brought the crazy Shen Yuan back to reality.
She suddenly exerted brute force to push away Shen Mingzhu who was suppressing her, and then tried hard to hide her face.
no! Can't! I must not let Ji Ci see me like this!
Shen Yuan curled up into a ball, and Shen Mingzhu let go of her hand only after making sure that Shen Yuan would not go crazy again.
As soon as the hand loosened, Shen Yuan suddenly fled the scene in a strange posture.
This scene shocked Shen Mingzhu so much that she turned to look at Ji Ci.
"No, is Ji Ci's words magical? Can they awaken a madman's cognition as a human being?"
Ji Ci met Shen Mingzhu's gaze without avoiding it, and even raised an eyebrow at her.
Shen Mingzhu quickly looked away, "No, this guy is cheating, first he cheated to scare Shen Yuan away, and now he's trying to be cool with me?"
The corners of Ji Ci's mouth raised up an imperceptible arc, but before he could continue to expand the smile, the corners of his mouth drooped in the next second.
"I understand! Ji Ci is laughing at my incompetence! I used all my strength to barely hold down this lunatic Shen Yuan, but he ended up taking care of me with just one sentence!"
"He is provoking me!" Thinking of this, Shen Mingzhu glared at Ji Ci angrily.
"You dare to laugh at me! Believe it or not, I will beat you up too!"
Ji Ci remained silent, his lips even twitching a little. Shen Ming's train of thought was sometimes incomprehensible.
How come he doesn't know that his action is a provocation?
However, Ji Yuan on the side did not notice the subtle atmosphere between the two.
She just breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Shen Yuan fleeing in panic.
"Mr. Ji?" Shen Zejing's timely appearance broke the "tense" (Shen Mingzhu thought) situation between Shen Mingzhu and Ji Ci.
"Why are you here?" Shen Zejing walked closer and found that Shen Mingzhu was also there.
"Your hand?" Ji Ci did not answer Shen Zejing's words, but stared at Shen Mingzhu.
"What?" Shen Mingzhu raised her hand and found deep teeth marks on it.
Shen Zejing naturally noticed it, “What’s wrong with your hand?”
Shen Mingzhu shrugged, "Nothing, just bitten by a mad dog."
"If Chen Zejing knew that the mad dog that bit me was Chen Yuan, he would be so shocked!"
"Forget it, it's better not to tell him, lest his worldview be shattered. I'm such a good person!"
Shen Zejing:? ! ! !
He heard it!
Then Shen Mingzhu smiled at them and said, "I won't disturb you from reminiscing about the past. Bye."
Shen Zejing was left alone, an outsider who was confused and at a loss.
Ji Ci withdrew his gaze from the direction where Shen Mingzhu left, and turned to look at Ji Yuan, "Aren't you going back? Do you still need me to take you there?"
Ji Yuan shook her head violently, "No, no, I'll go by myself!"
When only Shen Zejing and Ji Ci were left in the space, Ji Ci slowly answered the question Shen Zejing had asked at the beginning.
"My cousin seems to be frightened in your house. I came to check the situation."
"Boss Shen, do you have anything to say?"
After hearing these words, Shen Zejing realized that he seemed to owe Ji Ci an explanation.
He didn't care about what happened to Shen Mingzhu, Shen Yuan and Ji Yuan. The most important thing now was to stabilize Ji Ci.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Ji. It was my negligence that caused our plans to change. I will investigate what happened tonight and will give you an answer as soon as possible."
Just when Ji Ci was about to choose Shen Yuan, something went wrong, and the Shen family was at fault, so Shen Zejing had to lower his posture towards Ji Ci and even used honorifics.
Ji Ci turned his back to Shen Zejing, this action already showed his attitude.
Shen Zejing certainly understood that Ji Ci meant that if he could not give a satisfactory explanation, the cooperation between the Shen family and the Ji family would probably end here.
Ji Ci is not a fool.
What happened tonight will definitely leak out, and the Ji family will not take the initiative to throw dirty water on themselves.
And Shen Yuan's move was considered a failure.
The marriage with the Ji family has come to an end. Shen Zejing's primary task is to protect the Shen family's reputation and not offend the Ji family.
The Shen family's status is not low, and not being able to have in-depth cooperation with the Ji family is not a serious blow.
The key point is not to make enemies with the Ji family. The intricate relationship between the two families cannot be completely severed because of this.
"I believe Mr. Shen is a smart man and knows what to do."
This was the second time that Shen Zejing was at a disadvantage in a confrontation with Ji Ci.
Last time it was his own problem, but this time, he was implicated by an unknown person.
After Ji Ci left, Shen Zejing's eyes became fierce.
He will definitely not let the culprit of tonight go.
In the banquet hall, Shen Zeqing and Shen Zeshuo finally saw off the last batch of guests.
Watching the maids cleaning the house, the two of them collapsed on the sofa in different postures.
Shen Zeqing was fine, even though he was slumped on the sofa, his posture wasn't too ugly.
Shen Zeshuo is different. He always lets himself go at home without caring about his image.
Only in front of the camera can he restrain himself.
"Big brother has worked really hard over the years, dealing with so many people every day. I am really not suitable to inherit the family business."
"I also kind of miss the days of working with experimental equipment in the laboratory."
"Have the guests left?" Shen Zejing's voice made the two collapsed people sit up straight instantly.
