The three elders present knew perfectly well what was going on, especially Mr. and Mrs. Mu Daxiang. Although they didn't say anything on the surface, they were convinced that what Ji Zhinan said was true.
Ji Zhinan is indeed prettier than Ji Zhixia. In terms of appearance, height, and temperament, she is far superior. Ji Zhixia also possesses a spiritual quality that Ji Zhinan lacks.
So it's no wonder that Mu Zeyu likes Ji Zhinan; after all, a beautiful and virtuous woman is the object of a gentleman's affections.
If she had a higher social standing, the future young mistress of the Mu family would definitely not be Ji Zhixia, but Ji Zhinan.
They admired the family's power and influence, and their future in-laws had to be the same.
Very few people in high society marry for love; most marriages are based on maximizing the interests of both families. In the face of power, love is worthless, even a joke.
Therefore, the future young mistress of the Mu family doesn't need to be very beautiful, but she must have a strong background.
In this respect, Ji Zhixia is a hundred times better than Ji Zhinan.
However, Wu Yan'e never really liked Ji Zhinan, for no particular reason. If she had to say one possibility, it would be that Ji Zhinan was too beautiful.
The more beautiful a woman is, the more dishonest she is, both in words and in heart. Just look at Ji Zhinan, with her red lips and white teeth, she's like a little enchantress, bewitching men's souls.
What kind of good person could a woman like that be?
Unable to find a rebuttal to Ji Zhinan, the Mu family sent Old Master Ji himself to demand an explanation, and Mu Daxiang naturally had to give an answer.
Mu Daxiang lowered his head, his old face showing no sign of remorse: "Grandpa, let bygones be bygones. Now that Xiaxia and Zeyu are together, once the two children are better, the engagement banquet will be held. We're all family, so let's not stand on ceremony. Yan'e was just being blunt and spoke without thinking. She was just angry and didn't mean anything by it. Please give her some face and don't hold it against her."
With a stern face and expressionless expression, Old Master Ji said, "I can overlook other things, but I absolutely cannot tolerate anything about my Nan Nan!"
"Chairman Mu." The old man's sharp eyes fixed on Mu Daxiang, who was awkwardly smiling, and continued to speak.
"We agreed that if you can provide evidence that Nan Nan set Ze Yu on fire, this old man will kneel down and apologize to you; if not, then I'll trouble Chairman Mu's wife to pour tea and apologize. Chairman Mu agreed to that earlier, so he shouldn't go back on his word now, right?"
"..." Mu Daxiang's smile faltered slightly, but he tried his best to maintain his last bit of rationality: "How could that be? Yan'e misunderstood Nannan, so it's only right that she apologizes."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yan'e's eyes widened. As if she had misheard, she pointed her index finger at her own nose.
"You want me to apologize?!"
Ji Zhinan smiled, his eyes narrowing: "Yeah."
"...You must be joking!" Wu Yan'e's voice rose two decibels: "I'm an elder, her sister's future mother-in-law. You want me to pour tea and apologize to a little brat? No way!"
Putting aside her relationship with Ji Zhixia, she is the wife of the chairman of the Mu Group. Asking her to apologize to a girl younger than her own son is a pipe dream!
Mu Zeyu's eyes widened as he struggled to sit up in bed: "Dad, Ji Zhinan doesn't deserve it! We absolutely cannot let Mom apologize to her!"
It was clearly Ji Zhinan who set fire to him and Xiaxia, yet this bitch not only didn't get the punishment she deserved, but her own mother even had to serve her tea and apologize? There's no justice in this world!
"You two shut up!" Mu Daxiang snapped.
If it weren't for the fact that they, mother and son, insulted others so harshly without any evidence, would they have been reduced to lowering themselves to apologize to a junior?
