Fortunately, the intimate interaction between Shen Mingzhu and Old Madam Ji did not last too long.
Otherwise, Ji Yuan might lose control and tear Shen Mingzhu to pieces.
Why does she get such favor from that old man, but no matter how hard I try to please him, it's useless!
If it was anyone else interacting with Madam Ji, she wouldn't be so angry.
But this person happened to be Shen Mingzhu, the person she hated the most.
Old Madam Ji casually glanced at the two men's expressions and then withdrew her gaze.
"Xiaoyuan, you seem a little dissatisfied with the distinguished guest I personally invited?"
"Personally invited? Honored guest?"
When Ji Yuan heard Madam Ji's voice, her mind seemed to be stuck.
She repeated the words stupidly as if she didn't understand them at all.
"Any questions?"
Shen Mingzhu raised her eyebrows slightly, and began to act like a bully relying on the power of Old Madam Ji behind her.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Madam Ji is willing to let himself rely on her power.
"Oh? No way, Miss Ji, you wouldn't know that grandma invited me to be a guest here a few days ago, right?"
"I thought you all knew!"
Shen Mingzhu's tone was sharp. In just a moment, she grasped Ji Yuan's weak spot and stepped on it hard to crush her.
Shen Mingzhu's provocation at this moment directly fueled Ji Yuan's strong resentment.
"Why!" Ji Yuan roared at the top of her voice.
"I am your granddaughter, and you are helping a stranger like this!"
"You usually always side with my cousin and ignore me and my father, but now you let an outsider step on my head. In your heart, what is my father? What am I?"
"Is the blood connection between us not as strong as that bitch Shen Mingzhu?"
"Shut up!"
Ji Yuan's previous doubts did not cause any waves in Old Madam Ji's heart.
Instead, it was the insulting words towards Shen Mingzhu that made her want to stop Ji Yuan.
Hearing her words, Ji Yuan thought that it was her accusation that made her react, and she wanted to continue speaking.
Who knew that what Mrs. Ji said the next second made her feel like she was falling into an ice cellar.
"Who do you think you are? Who gave you the courage to insult Mingzhu like this?"
At this moment, Shen Yuan has guessed the true identity of Madam Ji.
Madam Ji's words were almost a fig leaf that Ji Yuan disguised herself as being ruthless.
She had been trying to pretend to be favored in front of him, but it was completely torn apart at this moment.
Shen Mingzhu alone was enough to break Ji Yuan's defense. Shen Yuan, who couldn't empathize with her, looked at Ji Yuan with a little more inquiry.
At this moment, she was not feeling sorry for Ji Yuan's situation, but was redefining Ji Yuan's value.
After all, from the very beginning, she approached Ji Yuan only because she was impressed by her status and position in the Ji family. It seemed that Ji Yuan was not as powerful as she imagined.
It seems that I shouldn't put more energy into it.
After all, her value should be proportional to her contribution.
Once it exceeds this point, you should recover some of your investment to reduce your losses.
But on second thought, Ji Yuan is already the person in the Ji family who can be used most openly.
At least at this moment, she should not be allowed to continue to act impulsively and destroy the only remaining value of her existence.
Shen Yuan pulled Ji Yuan, who was on the verge of losing control, behind him.
Then his face returned to an innocent expression and he looked at Old Madam Ji.
"You should be the old lady of the Ji family, right?"
"I forgot to introduce myself to you. I am the daughter of the Shen family, Shen Yuan. You can call me Yuan Yuan."
"No need, I'm not familiar with you." Old Madam Ji was not pleased with Shen Yuan's sudden flattery and even rejected it coldly.
Shen Yuan looked a little hurt, but at certain moments, these things were not important.
"Why are you treating me like this? I'm just saying hello to you out of politeness. If you don't like it, I'll just leave."
Madam Ji snorted coldly and didn't even glance at Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan's words seemed polite, but in fact they were "subtly reminding" the old lady that she shouldn't be so indifferent to her.
Moreover, she used this rhetoric quite cleverly, which not only showed that she had "no ill intentions", but also made Mrs. Ji seem aggressive and wanted to drive her away.
Shen Mingzhu was a little surprised that Shen Yuan could be so bold!
She wouldn't think that Madam Ji's status in the Ji family could be discredited by a junior like her with just a few words, right?
Moreover, the person with the highest status here is Old Madam Ji. Who would she show her tea art to?
Ji Yuan couldn't see Shen Mingzhu behind her, and she slowly calmed down and returned to her thinking state.
Especially Shen Yuan’s words made her tremble with fear.
She hurriedly pulled Shen Yuan to whisper in her ear, and when she finished explaining, Shen Yuan also began to panic.
She didn't think much about it when she first spoke.
It is natural to think that Madam Ji’s status in the Ji family is no different from that of Su Wanqing.
Although his identity looks intimidating, his actual right to speak is not as good as Shen Changlin and Shen Zejing.
Even worse than my own.
That's why she dared to show off like this, but things were not as simple as she thought.
Especially when Ji Yuan said that Madam Ji's status was no less than that of Ji Ci, the head of the family, she felt her head buzzing.
Her first reaction was disbelief. No matter how capable a woman is, how can she compare to a man?
And according to his own understanding, the truly powerful person among the old lady's generation was her husband who died young.
How could a woman like her have such a status in the Ji family?
But the current situation didn't allow her to think too much.
