Chapter 183 A Quick Apology
Ji Minghua was so angry that he couldn't utter a word.
Jiang Xiwen's mouth stiffened: "Uncle Zhong, Aunt Ji didn't mean that, she wanted to..."
"You are indeed from a humble family. Don't you know that you shouldn't interrupt your elders when they are talking?" Mr. Zhong sneered.
Ji Minghua said angrily: "It is obviously your daughter who has repeatedly destroyed the relationship between our Zhong family and the Jiang family. I am also kindly reminding her. After all, she was not raised by the Zhong family. She has only been back for a few months. Look at how much trouble she has caused."
She changed her tone and continued to persuade him earnestly: "Our two families are old friends. I am afraid that she will lose face for the Zhong family if she continues like this..."
Mother Zhong didn't want to listen any more, so she looked at the butler coldly and said, "Send the guest out."
Immediately afterwards, the butler and bodyguards coaxed Ji Minghua and Jiang Xiwen out.
Mother Zhong held Ye Jinmo's hand and sat at the dining table.
"Jinmo, don't take their words to heart. I don't know what's wrong with Ji Minghua. He actually came to cause trouble!"
Father Zhong snorted coldly: "I think it was that Jiang Xiwen who caused the trouble. Jinmo, no matter what, stay away from them, and stay away from Ji Sichen too!"
"That's right!" Zhong Beichi also responded, and then picked up a piece of fish for her, "Jinmo, come and eat this, I just took a small bite, it's really delicious!"
Putting aside the unpleasantness that had just occurred, the family had their meal happily.
Outside the gate of Zhong’s manor.
Ji Minghua was carried out by bodyguards.
"Let me go!"
She struggled to stand and straightened her clothes: "How dare you do this to me..."
Before she could finish her words, the bodyguard bowed politely to them, then turned back to the manor and the gate slowly closed.
Ji Minghua was so angry that he turned around and glared at Jiang Xiwen.
She has never been so embarrassed in her life!
"Look at what you've done! I told you not to come to the Zhong family, but you insisted on coming! Now you've been kicked out, and you've embarrassed yourself like a bastard!"
Jiang Xiwen became angry instantly after being scolded like this, but due to her status, she did not show it.
"Aunt Ji, you can't blame me for this. We meant well, but they didn't appreciate it!" She looked aggrieved, her eyes slightly red. "I even got the invitation. How can I explain this when I go back?"
After a pause, she sniffed and spoke in a hoarse voice: "How about we give up? My cousin has already received 3 billion in project funds, which is not a small amount. Let's stop here, maybe things will be better!"
This gave Ji Minghua a reminder.
Ji Sichen cut off the cooperation project with the Jiang family overnight, and he must have known where the huge sum of money went.
The heir of the Ji family has never allowed outsiders to participate, so she was forced to cooperate with Jiang Xiwen, push her son to the position of president of Jiang Group, and then cooperate with Ji Group. This roundabout way is the safest and safest way.
"No, we can't lose heart. This is also your cousin's fault. He actually took away all the project money. Otherwise, Si Chen wouldn't be angry! No matter what, you guys should get married first!"
She suppressed her anger and put on a kind smile: "Xiwen, what aunt said just now was just angry words. I am also a member of the Jiang family. Naturally, I want to see the daughter of the Jiang family live a better life. Don't worry, no matter what, I am Si Chen's aunt. That brat was just fascinated by Ye Jinmo for a while. It won't be long before he knows who is the real good match!"
At this moment, the sound of brakes was heard not far away.
The two looked towards the source of the sound and saw Ji Sichen getting out of a black Bentley.
His face turned livid and he looked at them coldly.
"Have you had enough of the fuss?"
"What's your attitude? Didn't you see that your aunt was kicked out by the Zhong family?"
Ji Sichen narrowed his eyes slightly, pursed his lips, and looked at Jiang Xiwen: "Did you instigate me to come here?"
Jiang Xiwen burst into tears immediately: "Si Chen, I came here to express my gratitude to classmate Ye, I have no other intentions!"
"To show your gratitude? With empty hands?"
"No, I sent an invitation. Grandpa said he would hold a banquet..."
"You held a banquet at the Jiang family and asked the benefactor to come to the banquet in person. How can you be so shameless? How could Mr. Jiang think that a small banquet would be enough to invite the eldest lady of the Zhong family?"
These few words made Jiang Xiwen lose face.
This is a clear mockery of the Jiang family's low status!
"Aunt, grandma already knows about this. She is very angry. I hope you can go and explain it to her in person."
After leaving these words, Ji Sichen left without looking back.
Ji Minghua panicked instantly.
She was not afraid of Ji Sichen, but she was afraid of Old Madam Ji.
The old lady was not aware of her matchmaking between Ji Sichen and Jiang Xiwen. If this made the old lady angry, she would definitely be sent abroad again!
"Wait for me, Si Chen!"
~
The news spread quickly, and in the afternoon, Old Lady Ji brought a large group of people to the Zhong family.
It was almost evening when Ye Jinmo just went downstairs with a book and was startled by the scene.
The huge living room was full of people.
See her coming down. Old Mrs. Ji stood up to greet her.
"Jinmo, grandma hasn't seen you for a long time!"
She hurriedly supported the old woman: "Grandma Ji, please sit down!"
She and the old man sat in the main seats on the sofa.
Ji Sichen stood on one side, while Ji Minghua and Jiang Xiwen stood in the middle, looking depressed, like two children who had made mistakes.
Especially Jiang Xiwen, there seemed to be slap marks on his face, and Ji Minghua was also injured, but not seriously.
Old Mrs. Ji spoke first: "We were wrong in this matter. My own daughter actually did such a stupid thing. I hope you can forgive her!"
Mr. and Mrs. Zhong looked at each other in surprise.
Old Mrs. Ji has always been very kind to the Zhong family, especially to Jinmo. Since she met her, she has treated her like her own granddaughter.
But Ji Minghua...didn't learn any wisdom from her old mother!
They didn't expect the old man to come out and apologize in person this time.
Father Zhong smiled and said, "Minghua may have misunderstood Jinmo."
Just as Ji Minghua was about to say something, he was glared at by his mother.
The old man continued, "I just found out today that she has been targeting Jinmo since she returned to China. Alas, I failed to teach my daughter well. I promise you here..."
As she spoke, she glanced at Jiang Xiwen, and a stern look flashed across her wrinkled face: "My granddaughter-in-law must be a daughter of equal status. Unless I die, it will be impossible for some daughters from small families to marry into the Ji family!"
This is stated very bluntly.
She held Ye Jinmo's hand the whole time, and her love for her was obvious. However, due to her previous broken engagement, she couldn't say Ye Jinmo's name directly!
Jiang Xiwen could no longer laugh, his frowning brows concealed hatred.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Master Jiang, who was sitting nearby, changed the subject: "Of course! Xiwen, although you grew up with Sichen, we all know that you are just friends!"
"Our Jiang family is half responsible for what happened today. I, an old man, would like to apologize to Jinmo here! You saved my Jiang family, and yet you caused such a scene today. Jinmo, I am going to prepare a thank-you banquet for you. I wonder if you are willing to come?"
