Now that Cao Nana is dead and the Hong Gang that helped her has been wiped out, with no one in charge, Ji Zhixia has no choice but to accept her bad luck.
Madam Mu covered her nose with her hand, looking annoyed.
"Look at her, she doesn't look like a phoenix princess at all! With her unlucky appearance, I'm afraid she'll bring all her bad luck with her when she marries into our family!"
The thought of Ji Zhixia lying on the hospital bed, half-dead, made Mu Zeyu frown, and he tried hard to suppress the disgust in his heart.
Hearing Madam Mu's words, he said impatiently, "Mom, this is a scientific age. Don't listen to fortune tellers' nonsense and superstition!"
"You silly child!" Madam Mu gently slapped Mu Zeyu: "Don't talk nonsense. Sometimes you have to believe. The fortune teller I found is very accurate. He said that the Ji family has a phoenix daughter who can bless our Mu family with great wealth and honor. And that means it is!"
Mu Zeyu had a terrible headache and blurted out, "Then how did you know it was Ji Zhixia?"
"Who else could it be but her? Could it be that Ji Zhinan?"
Mentioning Ji Zhinan's name, Madam Mu scoffed, "What kind of phoenix can a bastard without parents be? No matter how bad Ji Zhixia is, at least her father is Ji Pengfei, who owns a company! Isn't Ji Zhixia more noble than Ji Zhinan?"
Madam Mu kept chattering in his ear, but Mu Zeyu was annoyed.
He was somewhat angry when he heard his mother criticize Ji Zhinan and praise Ji Zhixia.
Yes, Ji Zhixia is the daughter of the Ji family, but she is rude and domineering, and when she goes crazy, she is just as shameful as her mother who grew up in the countryside.
Ji Zhinan is nothing more than a bastard who only wants to climb the social ladder, but at least she is calm and collected, and has a temperament that Ji Zhixia will never have in her life.
Mu Zeyu said with a hint of irritation, "The Ji family is no longer what it used to be. The Ji family is now in Ji Zhinan's hands. Why not take this opportunity to cancel the engagement?"
Mu Zeyu married Ji Zhixia with the intention of taking over the Ji family business. Now that the Ji family business is gone, he is increasingly disgusted with Ji Zhixia. He might as well cancel the engagement as soon as possible. After all, they were only engaged, so it's not shameful to back out now.
"You silly child, how can you be so dense!" Madam Mu glared at her son, her expression as if she knew exactly what he was thinking: "Don't think I don't know, you're still hung up on that Ji Zhinan!"
"..." Mu Zeyu did not deny it.
"I know you like that face. Mom also said that as long as she behaves herself as your mistress and uses that face to seduce a few powerful men to pave the way for you, I can turn a blind eye. But don't forget how arrogant that brat is! So what if she has the Ji family now? Ji Pengfei has already led all the shareholders and employees to withdraw from the Ji family. Now the Ji family is just an empty shell, losing money every day. In less than a year, the Ji family will be gone!"
"..." Mu Zeyu did not refute, because he knew his mother was right.
With a company as large as the Ji family, Ji Zhinan is just a young woman in her early twenties. Without professional training, it is absolutely impossible for her to revive the Ji family.
Seeing that her son's expression had softened considerably, Madam Mu sighed and patted his shoulder: "The Ji family is not as good as it used to be, but as long as Ji Pengfei is around, his connections will remain. A while ago, his secretary Lily negotiated a deal worth over 100 million for Pengfei Group, and your father has always wanted to get a share of the profits."
