Li Shu's eyes moved slightly. She was quite surprised that Ji Heng did not force her to marry into the Shen family.
Seeing that Li Shu lowered her eyes and didn't say anything, Ji Heng didn't rush and continued, "No matter how poor our Ji family is, we wouldn't dare to cancel even an engagement. You and Shen Yu were just a childhood engagement arranged by your grandfather and the old man of the Shen family as a joke."
"No one had taken this matter seriously at first, and had almost forgotten about it. Then Mr. Shen suddenly brought it up again, and your grandfather was embarrassed to refuse. Since marrying into the Shen family would only bring benefits and no disadvantages, the marriage was finally confirmed."
Li Shu raised her eyebrows slightly. She heard from the housekeeper that it was Mr. Ji who ignored the advice and insisted on making a big deal about Ji Qianya not being Ji's biological daughter. That was why Ji Heng and the others decided to take her back.
But she has been back for a few days and still hasn't seen her legendary grandfather.
Ji Yanli glanced at her, as if he guessed what she was thinking, and explained in a low voice: "Grandpa and Mr. Shen went out to play together, and they will probably be back in two days."
"That's right." Li Shu nodded, raised her clear eyes and looked at Ji Heng who was sitting at the main seat, "I will go to the dinner tomorrow night."
Ye Lan's expression became a little complicated when she heard this. She couldn't understand why Li Shu suddenly changed her mind. You know, when she talked to her in the morning, she refused without thinking. Why did she change her mind when it came to Ji Heng?
Is it that the way she said it was wrong, or is it that Li Shu simply didn't want to listen to what she said?
What surprised her the most was that Ji Heng not only said that he would not force Li Shu to marry him, but also that he was not afraid of breaking off the engagement with the Shen family.
At least he never mentioned this to her.
Ji Heng hummed, his eyes accidentally glancing at Ye Lan who seemed to be in a daze. Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, "By the way, I heard from your mom that you have a boyfriend and brought him home last night?"
Ji Yanli and Ji Jingchen both had a flash of surprise in their eyes. They looked at the girl next to them and said in unison: "Xiao Shu, you have a boyfriend?!"
The corner of Li Shu's mouth twitched slightly, "No, it's my friend. He came to see me last night for something."
She paused, her eyes fixed on the silent Ji Qianya with a half-smile, and continued, "Sister Qianya knows him too."
Ye Lan frowned. She remembered that Qianya had clearly stated in the message she sent her that she did not know the man. But now Li Shu said that she knew him. Wasn't this contradictory?
"Qianya, do you know him?"
Ji Qianya's eyes flickered slightly, but there was no panic on her face. She bit her lip and whispered, "Sister, how could I possibly know your friend?"
Ye Lan realized what was happening. How could Qianya possibly know Li Shu's friend? They were simply not on the same level. She asked in a bad tone, "Xiao Shu, why did you lie?"
Ji Yanli glanced at Ji Qianya with a fierce look, and said slowly: "Mom, it's too arbitrary for you to say that Xiaoshu lied without knowing the truth."
Ji Qianya was startled by his look and subconsciously avoided his gaze, looking down at her hands on her legs.
Ji Jingchen didn't really believe that Li Shu was the type to lie. There was really no need to lie. "Xiao Shu, what's your friend's name?"
Li Shu leaned back slightly on the sofa, and said nonchalantly, "Qin Can."
A hint of surprise flashed across Ji Yanli's eyes, and a person immediately appeared in his mind, "Are you talking about Qin Can, the eldest young master of the Qin family?"
"Yan Li, what are you thinking about? How could Xiaoshu know Qin Can? They must just have the same name and surname." Ye Lan retorted.
Li Shu raised her eyebrows, "Yes, it's Qin Can from the Qin family."
"Master Qin is a well-known playboy in the circle, and he spends a lot of money. Could it be that my sister happened to know Master Qin when she worked in bars or other entertainment venues before? Besides, my sister is so beautiful, it's easy for a man to be attracted to her."
Ji Qianya brought Li Shu to the hostess in just a few words, and hinted that Li Shu might have some abnormal relationship with Qin Can because of money.
"Xiaoshu, you won't be with Young Master Qin..." When Ye Lan heard Ji Qianya say this, she naturally thought of those dirty things, and her brows were full of disbelief. She didn't finish the rest of the words, but everyone knew what she wanted to say.
"Impossible." Ji Yanli narrowed his eyes slightly, with a slightly cold luster in his eyes, "Ji Qianya, if you don't know how to speak, just shut up."
Ji Qianya shuddered with fear, her eyes quickly turning red, and she said in a wronged voice, "Second brother, I know you have a problem with me now and don't like me, but I didn't say anything wrong. Everyone knows my past life. The only way I could have met Young Master Qin was to work in those entertainment venues. That's nothing."
Her eyes fell on the phone that Li Shu was playing with, and she continued, "I saw that my sister was also using the latest model of Apple phone. I think she probably bought it with the money she earned from working."
Ye Lan now completely believed that Li Shu had a substantial relationship with Qin Can for money. She never expected that her own daughter would be so unselfish. If this were to get out, where would she put her face?
Flames flashed in his eyes, and he pointed at Li Shu angrily, his voice rising in anger, "Li Shu, how could you do such a thing? You would humiliate yourself like this for money?!"
Li Shu's expression was quite calm. She ignored Ye Lan and raised her eyelids to look at Ji Qianya. Her tone was flat as she said lazily, "Sister Qianya, you are really good at talking. But I suddenly remembered that you talked to Qin Can last night. Why are you still lying and pretending not to know him?"
Ji Qianya's expression was a little stiff. She didn't expect Li Shu to bring the topic back to her. She smiled and said, "Sister, are you confused? When I came down, I only saw the backs of you walking together. I really didn't recognize that it was Young Master Qin."
Ji Jingchen's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly felt that this scene was a bit familiar. It was the same last time in the attic, the fallen cake, the hand trapped in the door, and Li Shu who was not in the room. In the end, it was all a play directed and acted by Ji Qianya from beginning to end.
So what about now? Is he lying again?
After all, it goes without saying that it was Ji Qianya who told her parents about Li Shu bringing a man back.
Li Shu sighed softly and shook the phone in her hand. "How about I call him on video and confront him together?"
After saying that, before Ji Qianya could react, he directly clicked on WeChat and made a video call to Qin Can.
