Seeing that Shen Mingzhu was about to be picked out, Ji Yuan was very unwilling.
He said it without even considering whether what he said was reasonable, he just blurted it out.
"You are the only one who likes this! You are the only one in your family who likes this!"
"Oh my god, I almost said that her whole family likes this. If I really say it, I'm afraid Ji Ci will switch sides and scold me!"
Ji Ci wanted to say it, but even though her mouth turned a corner, her inner thoughts were still exposed.
Ji Yuan suddenly glanced at the fat and big-eared man and immediately felt insulted by Shen Mingzhu.
She never thought that she was bringing shame upon herself.
"Sister, today is Yuanyuan's birthday after all. Aren't you deliberately ruining the party by doing this?" Chen Yuan finally couldn't help but speak up for Ji Yuan.
Shen Mingzhu smiled. When this group of people were accusing her just now, no one considered the occasion.
Now that Ji Yuan is at a disadvantage, she starts accusing her of ruining the atmosphere?
"It's all a misunderstanding. This man must have made a mistake. Let's not let the atmosphere become awkward because of a misunderstanding!"
Now that the peacemaker had started to explain, the man immediately took advantage of the situation.
"It's all a misunderstanding. I made a mistake. I'm so sorry!"
Others began to persuade and wanted to put the matter behind them.
Ji Ci said, "Apologize to her."
His words shocked everyone, but they seemed to make sense.
After all, from the very beginning, it was Shen Mingzhu who was insulted.
"I'm sorry!" Ji Ci said, and the man immediately obeyed, even bending down and bowing 90 degrees, for fear that his attitude was not sincere enough and that Ji Ci would retaliate against him in the future.
After all, what he did today was tantamount to a slap in Ji Ci's face.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see grandma." Ji Ci looked at Shen Mingzhu holding his arm and took her away directly.
The onlookers also dispersed, leaving only Ji Yuan and Shen Yuan.
"Damn it, she got away with it again, and my cousin even spoke up for her!"
"It's okay, Yuanyuan. Shen Mingzhu won't be so proud for long."
Anyway, there was no one else here, and Chen Yuan was not as gentle as she was in front of others. She was even jealous, so much so that her newly made nails dug into her flesh.
Why can she hold Ji Ci's arm openly? That is clearly her position!
Ji Ci walked for a while with Shen Mingzhu and then stopped.
"Why don't you leave?" Shen Mingzhu looked puzzled.
Ji Ci then pulled back his hand, "Just now I just didn't want you to ruin the Ji family's reputation. Do you really think I was helping you?"
Shen Mingzhu smiled. She didn’t really care whether Ji Ci was really helping her or not. After all, she was out of trouble, right?
Although I am not without a solution.
"Thank you, Mr. Ji, for your generous help!"
"Master!" A man who looked like a butler hurried to Ji Ci.
"The old lady is suddenly feeling unwell, please go and see her!"
Shen Mingzhu naturally heard this sentence, "Could it be poisoning? According to the plot, it seems to be around this time. What a pity, the Ji family didn't find out this time or later. In the end, something happened to Old Madam Ji. It was too late. What a pity, this old lady is still a good person!"
Ji Ci was walking quickly towards the old lady, but he hesitated when he heard Shen Mingzhu's voice.
Shen Mingzhu is always mumbling about the male and female protagonists in her mind. Does she know how the future will develop?
In this way, it’s not a bad thing to be able to hear her inner voice.
This incident is a good opportunity to verify whether her feelings are true.
Shen Mingzhu watched Ji Ci stop and felt a little confused. Wasn’t he in a hurry to see the old lady?
"Come with me." Ji Ci's voice was cold, but it was an order that could not be refused.
Shen Mingzhu rolled her eyes in her heart, "You're still ordering me around? Forget it, just give the old lady a hand. After all, she was nice to the original owner."
The housekeeper was puzzled, why did Ji Ci suddenly take Shen Mingzhu to see the old lady?
But it’s okay for Shen Mingzhu to go along, the old lady likes her very much.
The old lady lives quite far from the living room, otherwise the noise there would disturb her.
"Wow, the Ji family is indeed a top-tier wealthy family. Just walking here feels like a long time. But is Ji Ci deliberately bullying me because of my short legs?!"
"He takes two steps while I take three or four! It's not fair, why are his legs so long!"
Ji Ci tilted his head to glance at Shen Mingzhu who was following behind him. It seemed to be true. He was obviously walking very easily.
Shen Mingzhu had to follow behind and make "da da da" sounds to barely keep up with him.
This little short leg is moving quite fast.
By the time they arrived at the old lady's residence, Shen Mingzhu was slightly out of breath.
"Damn Ji Ci, you don't consider my feelings at all!"
"If the old lady's situation wasn't urgent, I would have had to talk to him."
"Xiao Ci?" The old lady half leaned against the bed.
Her face was a little pale, but her facial features were delicate, and apart from some fine lines, one couldn't tell that she had a grandson as old as Ji Ci.
"When the old lady was young, she must have been a stunning beauty! Even though her hair is gray, she still has this intellectual and elegant temperament. Ji Yuan is such a fake granddaughter. She didn't learn anything from her!"
"Grandma, what's wrong with you?"
Ji Ci squatted down and took the old lady's hand to check on her, his eyes full of worry.
The old lady reached out and touched Ji Ci's head, "Grandma is fine, it's just that the housekeeper is too nervous."
"Ji Ci is quite filial, but he was so busy managing the Ji family that he didn't even notice the old lady had a parasite around him."
Hearing this, Ji Ci's eyes darkened.
It was indeed a moment of carelessness on his part.
"Are you Mingzhu? You haven't come to see me for a long time. You look much prettier now."
Shen Mingzhu's eyes lit up when she heard the old lady's praise.
"As expected of an old lady, your words are so sweet."
She also squatted beside Ji Ci and looked at the old lady with a smile, "It's mainly because I was busy some time ago. If you miss me, I can come to see you anytime."
The old lady touched her head and said, "You have your own life too, take care of yourself first."
"Madam, it's time to take your medicine." A woman who was probably in her fifties or sixties came in carrying a bowl of medicine.
"Thank you for your hard work. Leave it here for now and I'll drink it later." The old lady looked at the bowl of black medicine with obvious disgust.
"What's her last name?" Shen Mingzhu suddenly asked.
Ji Ci understood, and he quickly responded, "The last name is Zhang."
Shen Mingzhu suspected her? But she has been in the Ji family for so many years and has always worked hard, so he thinks it is unlikely.
Aunt Zhang nodded with a smile on her face, "Yes, my last name is Zhang."
"Oh, my brain only remembers that the husband of the person who poisoned me was named Luo, but I forgot her last name."
"It seems that she agreed to this because her husband had a car accident and her children needed money urgently for school."
"But the person behind the scenes was also vicious. He only told her that the medicine would make the old lady sleep too much, but he didn't know that it would kill the old lady."
After listening to Shen Mingzhu's explanation, Ji Ci's expression turned cold. Shen Mingzhu was not sure that he could do it.
But as far as he knew, although Aunt Zhang's husband's surname was Luo, he had been driving a truck for others and had never heard of any car accident.
Are all her thoughts nonsense?
