Chapter 29 Are you so happy to cancel the engagement with him?
"Cancelled the engagement?" When Ye Jinmo heard the news, a look of surprise appeared on her face and she looked up at Ji Sichen excitedly.
He just felt that his chest was suffocating, and he couldn't breathe up or down. He looked into the girl's clear almond eyes and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Are you so happy about canceling your engagement with him?
Now he finally understood what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot...
"He was the one who brought it up." The brother with a sister complex added.
She looked at Ji Sichen with gratitude in her eyes: "Thank you!"
Since he was the one who proposed it first, even if the Ji family breaks off the engagement first, there is no need to worry about the Zhong family being targeted!
In order to thank Ji Sichen for being so generous, she decided to treat Grandma Ji more seriously in the future!
Zhong Shaoqing was very satisfied with his sister's reaction.
The two men began to confront each other.
Feeling the subtle atmosphere in the air, Ye Jinmo interrupted at the right time: "Brother, can I change into a dress? This dress is so heavy."
"Go ahead."
After getting approval, she quickly fled, dragging her skirt.
She picked out a simple and elegant dress in the dressing room. As soon as she changed, she turned around and found Meng Shanshan standing at the door.
"Sister, it is against etiquette to change your dress in the middle of a party."
Ye Jinmo looked at the dress she was wearing, a black dress in the style of Hepburn, with a camellia tied around her waist. The image in the mirror showed her elegant and graceful self.
Seeing that she remained calm, Meng Shanshan continued, "Have you known Mr. Ji for a long time? I heard that he has a lot of fun abroad and has violent tendencies. It's best to stay away from him..."
"You like him?"
Meng Shanshan blushed at the sudden question and glared at her: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Ye Jinmo shrugged: "He and I have broken off our engagement. If you like, you can go after him."
She actually noticed tonight that Meng Shanshan's eyes never left Ji Sichen.
Considering her boss's extremely handsome face, it's normal for girls to like him.
Meng Shanshan looked at her indifferent attitude suspiciously and asked tentatively: "You... don't like him?"
Ye Jinmo looked her up and down, not understanding at all: "At my age, studying is more important. I love studying and I'm not interested in dating."
How can Ji Sichen compare with traditional Chinese medicine? She loves traditional Chinese medicine the most!
When we returned to the venue, the waltz music had already started.
Zhong Shaoqing pulled her into the dance floor and started the first dance of the party.
She had studied with a music teacher at school for a few months, so she is not too rusty when dancing now.
Ji Sichen sat on the sofa in the lounge area, shaking his wine glass in his hand, looking at the dance floor with a deep gaze.
"Boss Ji, please eat something."
He raised his eyes slightly and saw Meng Shanshan standing in front of him with a delicate little cake in her hand.
He had a blank expression on his face and showed no intention of taking over.
The smile on her face froze a little, so she had to change the subject and soften her expression: "I'm sorry about that day at the mall."
"It's not me you should apologize to."
She could no longer maintain the smile on her lips, her eyes were filled with sadness, and she wanted to say something.
The man on the sofa stood up, walked around her and left.
Only Meng Shanshan was left, stamping her feet in anger.
She glanced at Ye Jinmo who had just come out of the dance floor and was happily chatting with a man.
Thinking about what happened tonight, her jealousy grew stronger.
The banquet was gradually coming to an end, and she was worrying about how to embarrass Ye Jinmo.
Then I saw everyone walking towards the front yard.
The sky outside was as bright as day, and the fireworks bloomed with brilliant colors in the night sky.
She slowly approached Ye Jinmo.
"Sister, these fireworks are specially prepared for you by Grandpa."
The girl who was originally smiling brightly, when she saw it was her, silently moved away and kept her distance.
When Meng Shanshan saw the fountain pool not far away, she immediately came up with a plan.
She took Ye Jinmo's hand and pulled her towards the pool.
"Come on, come on, we can see more clearly from this side."
There were so many guests, Ye Jinmo didn't struggle too much out of consideration for the Zhong family's reputation.
The two of them stood near the pool.
"Sister, I'm sorry."
The sudden apology finally made her take a serious look at Meng Shanshan. She couldn't understand what the person in front of her was trying to do.
Meng Shanshan held her hand and said earnestly, "Boss Ji said that I should apologize to you. Let's reconcile the previous unhappiness today. How about we be good sisters in the future?"
Ye Jinmo nodded gently. The fireworks flickered, and she missed the calculation in the other person's eyes.
She was about to pull out her opponent, but the next second, she felt a lot of force on her wrist.
Meng Shanshan pulled her hand and was about to throw her into the pool.
She frowned, turned her palm, and pressed down on her wrist.
Meng Shanshan only felt her palms go numb. The huge inertia made her fall backwards without any preparation. She wanted to grab something in panic, but Ye Jinmo retreated quickly, and she fell straight into the pool.
"ah!"
A cry of surprise attracted everyone's attention.
Her whole body was upside down in the pool. She climbed up in a panic. Not only were her clothes wet, but water was also sticking to her body, and her entire makeup and hairstyle were ruined.
The men among the guests looked at her with interest.
She quickly covered her chest, took the towel handed to her by the housekeeper, and wrapped it around herself.
She cried, "Sister, I just pulled you here to watch the fireworks, why did you push me?"
Ye Jinmo looked down at the person in the pool, with no sign of panic on her face. Instead, she stretched out her hand towards her.
"Come up first."
Meng Shanshan's face was full of grievance, the pool water mixed with tears, and her messy hair stuck to her face, making her look so pitiful.
Several women also pulled her arms, and she came out of the pool, trembling.
Ye Jinmo met everyone's inquiring gazes and said in a cold but powerful voice: "I didn't push her."
Zhong Shaoqing walked over quickly and waved his hand: "Go change your clothes first."
Then, he nodded to everyone and said, "Excuse me for making fun of you all. We have specially prepared some small gifts for you all. Please be careful on your way back."
After a few words, the banquet was over.
When Meng Shanshan changed her clothes and came out, only the Zhong family was left in the living room.
Mr. Zhong went back early to rest because he was tired.
When she came out, her eyes were red, as if she had just cried.
Normally at this time, Zhong Beichi would have come up to comfort her, but today he just looked at her like that.
Only Zhong's mother came forward to comfort her with concern.
"Big brother, second brother, I don't blame my sister. My sister must have been careless."
Ye Jinmo raised her eyebrows and touched her nose.
Such a strong green tea flavor!
Mr. Zhong's face turned pale, and with a bang, he placed the cup heavily on the table.
"What's the occasion today? Isn't there enough trouble?"
These words were obviously directed at Meng Shanshan.
She was completely stunned and stood there in a daze, looking at them in disbelief.
Mother Zhong didn't say anything, but just patted her hands and asked her to sit down.
Zhong Shaoqing restrained his expression and looked at her meaningfully: "In the future, when you do things, consider the consequences first, and don't lose face for the Zhong family."
Meng Shanshan had tears in her eyes. She looked at Zhong Beichi and said in a trembling voice, "Second brother, don't you believe me either?"
Zhong Beichi, who was called out, was annoyed, with disappointment flashing in his eyes: "Shanshan... I saw everything that happened when you dragged her to the pool!"
