Chapter 242 Rescue
Ye Jinmo turned back and prepared to thank Ji Minghua in person.
Walking from the yard towards the villa, you have to pass through the outdoor garden.
There were only a few guests, most of them had already left, and only three or two were left in the hall talking to Meng Hong.
Two people were standing by the rockery pond not far away.
When she got closer, she saw that it was Jin Lan and Ji Minghua, who seemed to be arguing.
As a younger generation, she naturally didn't want to listen to her elders' gossip, and she was thinking about going to the Ji family to express her gratitude in person some other day.
The next second, I heard my name from both of them.
She paused, turned around and stood behind the rockery.
"Ji Minghua, what do you mean tonight? Didn't you always say that you didn't like the Zhong family? Why are you helping them tonight?" Jin Lan was indignant. A gust of wind blew up the strands of hair on her forehead, revealing a complete, delicate and distorted face.
"Just because I don't like the Zhong family doesn't stop me from dealing with you!" Ji Minghua put his hands in his coat pockets, raised his chin, and looked smug.
"Jin Lan, today I finally saw you get humiliated!"
As she spoke, her eyes lit up with excitement.
The frustration that had been suppressed for so many years was finally released.
Suddenly, Jin Lan smiled.
"Being humiliated? Because of that bracelet? Minghua, why are you still acting like a child? I heard that you have always been at odds with Ye Jinmo. What you did tonight will undoubtedly boost her prestige."
She paused and continued sarcastically, "Sometimes I really feel very sad. As the eldest daughter of the Ji family and the only biological daughter of Mrs. Ji, I can't stand in the Ji family and can only rely on forming cliques to find a way out for my son. Unlike me, my son is the heir of the Meng family since he was born."
"Not only that, the Jin family also allocated 3% of the shares to Xiaobao. Your son seems to be still abroad. He is no different from a dog."
"You!" Ji Minghua was furious, his eyes reddened immediately, "Jin Lan, what nonsense are you talking about? My son is studying abroad at Columbia University!"
"Oh, you studied for seven or eight years but didn't come back? What's the point of supporting Ji Sichen to take the throne? If he doesn't listen to you after he gets the Ji family, in the end, your own son will be nothing."
Jin Lan's words hit Ji Minghua hard in the heart.
"Don't talk nonsense, Si Chen... Si Chen always listens to me. When my son returns, he will definitely arrange a position for him in Ji's..."
"Heh," Jin Lan laughed, "If you were sure that Ji Sichen would share the benefits, why would you stop him from being with Ye Jinmo? Now you're pulling Meng Shanshan with you just to find a niece-in-law who's easy to control, so that you can get some benefits for yourself in the future..."
"Pa", Ji Minghua slapped Jin Lan on the face.
Her lips were trembling and her face was pale. She looked around and made sure that there was no one around, then she relaxed a little.
"What, did I hit you on the head?" Jin Lan covered her face with cold eyes, "Ji Minghua, if you kneel down and apologize to me now, I can promise not to tell anyone about this."
"You dare to make me kneel down?" Ji Minghua gritted his teeth.
Jin Lan raised her eyebrows and picked up the phone: "I will call the old lady of the Ji family now. I want to tell her that her good daughter has been trying to seize the Ji family's property..."
"Don't hit me!"
Ji Minghua lowered his eyelids, as if struggling.
Jin Lan's mother is on good terms with Old Lady Ji. If she calls, there's no guarantee that the old lady will believe her.
She must not lose the old lady's trust!
"I kneel!"
She took a deep breath, took a step back, moved slightly, and was about to kneel down.
Suddenly, someone grabbed his wrist.
Before she could even look back, she stumbled and was thrown behind.
"Ye Jinmo?" Jin Lan's pupils shrank. "Why are you here to cause trouble?"
"Mrs. Meng, today is your son's full-month celebration. It's okay to have a quarrel, but you don't have to make people kneel down, right?" Ye Jinmo dusted the dust off the corner of her clothes.
"This matter has nothing to do with you. This is a grudge between Ji Minghua and me. Why do you, a junior, meddle in the affairs of your elders?" Jin Lan said impatiently.
"I don't want to get involved, but if Miss Ji comes home injured today, how many days do you think the Meng family can survive?"
Jin Lan's proud expression suddenly froze and turned pale. In a hurry, he grabbed her hand and said, "Good girl, Minghua and I were just joking. Don't tell anyone!"
Ye Jinmo smiled coldly and pulled Ji Minghua away.
Ji Minghua did not forget to look back at Jin Lan who was standing there, and he felt inexplicably comfortable in his heart.
Outside the gate.
Ji Minghua shook off her hand, looking a little unnatural.
"Don't think that if you help me out, I will agree to let you and Si Chen deal with things together!"
Ye Jinmo was not annoyed, and smiled coldly: "It seems that it is not your turn to intervene in the affairs between Ji Sichen and me, right?"
Ji Minghua choked.
"I don't mean anything else. I'm here to thank you on behalf of my mother for what happened tonight. That bracelet is very important to my mother. Thank you for your help." Ye Jinmo said sincerely.
This was the first time the two of them spoke calmly.
Ji Minghua felt strange in his heart, but he still said unforgivingly: "Don't get me wrong, I just want to embarrass Jin Lan, it doesn't mean I approve of you."
Ye Jinmo raised her eyebrows: "I understand, but Aunt Ji, I don't need anyone's approval. For Brother Chen's sake, I call you an elder because I don't want him to be caught in the middle. However, Aunt Ji should be more careful about the people of the Meng family and don't let the wolf into the house for petty gains."
After saying that, she nodded politely and turned to leave.
Ji Minghua looked at her back and fell into deep thought.
Has she always been too prejudiced against Ye Jinmo?
She only knew that this girl's return to the Zhong family turned the family upside down, and she was not a simple character.
"Aunt Ji, why are you here?"
As she was thinking, Meng Shanshan's voice came from behind her.
Collecting her thoughts, she responded calmly: "I'll wait for Si Chen to pick me up."
Meng Shanshan smiled even more. She looked at the car not far away and her eyes flashed: "Could it be that Aunt Ji was deceived by Ye Jinmo's sweet words? Don't forget how she kicked me out of the Zhong family. If she marries Mr. Ji in the future, you might be kicked out too!"
Ji Minghua didn't say anything, thinking about what Ye Jinmo said.
"She probably won't..."
Meng Shanshan took her arm and sighed, "Look, it's only been a short time and you've been bewitched by Ye Jinmo? Think about it, Ye Shuran, me, and Jiang Xiwen, who isn't someone she dislikes? They've all been involved, even Jin Fan, the most favored young master of the main line of the Jin family, only dared to talk about it. Are you sure you can handle such a powerful character?"
She paused and continued, "You and her had so many conflicts before, who knows what she might be thinking of to frame you!"
Ji Minghua was a little shaken, but then he was firm:
"That's right. Someone who thinks too much like this must not marry into the Ji family!"
