"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now. I still have some documents to review."
Madam Ji showed no intention of trying to persuade her to stay.
After packing her things, Aunt Min rushed back to the back garden, just in time to brush past Ji Zhinan.
After glancing at Ji Zhinan's departing figure, Aunt Min hurriedly ran towards Madam Ji.
"Madam!" she said anxiously, "Are we just going to let her go like that? The eldest young lady is getting engaged the day after tomorrow. What if she causes trouble?"
"Don't worry, I've already warned her, she wouldn't dare." Madam Ji lazily wiped her fingernails with a handkerchief.
Seeing that Madam Ji was not worried at all, Aunt Min was extremely anxious: "Second Miss has been scheming since she was a child. When Young Master Mu came to our house, she played with Young Master Mu and didn't include our Eldest Miss. The Eldest Miss has suffered a lot of grievances since she was a child! Everyone knows that Ji Zhinan has feelings for Young Master Mu. I don't believe that she can obediently give up Young Master Mu and stop clinging to him!"
The Mu family is large and powerful, and Mu Zeyu is the only heir of the Mu family. If Ji Zhinan were to hook up with Mu Zeyu and become Mrs. Mu, it would be a great thing for her to rise to a higher social status.
How could Ji Zhinan not do it?
Upon hearing this, Madam Ji clenched her handkerchief into a fist, her eyes flashing with ruthlessness: "If she dares to let Xiaxia suffer any injustice, I won't let that good-for-nothing get away with it!"
Madam Ji has never liked Ji Zhinan, and even felt disgusted by her. She has only maintained a mother-daughter relationship with her for so many years because of the old man.
Aunt Min had been with Madam Ji for many years and naturally knew her thoughts, so she deliberately poked at Madam Ji's wounds.
"It's all because of Ji Zhinan. The old man wouldn't let you have a son, Madam, causing you to live in constant fear for so many years, afraid that the chairman would be keeping a mistress outside..."
Although Madam Ji had enjoyed many good years, the lack of a son remained a constant worry for her.
Just like now, when she goes out for afternoon tea with a group of wealthy ladies, they subtly and overtly mock her for not having a son and only having daughters...
These words truly touched upon Madam Ji's long-standing, unhealed wounds, and her expression immediately changed, becoming extremely unpleasant.
Unable to vent her anger, she swept her arm around the table, sending all the cups and teapots crashing to the floor and shattering into pieces.
Her breathing was rapid, and her bloodshot eyes blazed with hatred.
She naturally couldn't forget that her body was capable of bearing a son, but because that brat Ji Zhinan came along, the old man wouldn't let her have one!
Now that Ji Pengfei's career is thriving, while Mrs. Ji enjoys her good life, she lives in constant fear, afraid that some enchantress will seduce Ji Pengfei, or that one day he will bring home an illegitimate child...
Madam Ji's sudden outburst of anger by smashing a teacup startled Aunt Min.
Seeing Madam Ji's unpleasant expression, Aunt Min revealed a malicious smile.
Madam is angry, Ji Zhinan, your days are numbered.
…………
Three days later—
The largest Hilton hotel in Beijing.
The main hall on the first floor of the hotel was booked by both the Mu and Ji families today, as Mu Zeyu, the young master of the Mu family, and Ji Zhixia, the young lady of the Ji family, got engaged.
The Mu and Ji families are both long-established companies in the capital. Even though they encountered some problems recently, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. As long as they haven't declared bankruptcy, the Mu and Ji families still have a chance to turn things around, not to mention that they haven't reached the point of bankruptcy yet.
So many CEOs gave face to today's engagement banquet, with luxury cars filling the outside, making it a very impressive affair.
“Zeyu, Xiaxia, this is your Uncle Yang, Uncle Zhao and Uncle Li.”
