Chapter 41 It's good that you guys are holding her back.
Zhong Yan sat in the chair, looking at Ji Yingying. This girl was very pretty, with exquisite makeup, but she lacked distinctiveness. Looking at her now, she seemed to lack brain cells.
When the two families were arranged to marry, Ji Tanyuan was busy with something, and the first thing he saw was Ji Yingying's message.
He wasn't interested at first glance. Being ambitious was a good thing, but he was afraid of getting mentally exhausted. Besides, the Ji family belonged to Ji Qing, not Ji Ting.
So when Zhong Yan saw Ji Tanyuan's worthless smile, he made the decision right away. Look at Ji Tanyuan, she's the epitome of a young lady. Her skin is flawless, her smile is gentle and dignified, her looks are on point, her aesthetic sense is on point, her education is on point, the only thing missing is her brain. How perfect.
Aside from getting too close to too many people in the entertainment industry, but many rich kids are like that, he understands.
Only after spending so much time together did Zhong Yan truly understand the value of the sayings "Don't judge a book by its cover" and "Rumors are unreliable."
Ji Tanyuan hadn't even done anything yet, and look how angry his old lady was.
If he really does something, his father will probably suffer.
Ji Yingying noticed that this person was lost in thought. What was wrong? Was she really that unnoticed?
"Brother-in-law," Ji Yingying called out tentatively.
Zhong Yan tilted his head, looked her up and down, his eyes devoid of emotion, and then said the next second, "Is the Ji family something you can decide? Or is it something your father can decide?"
Ji Yingying straightened her back at this moment, "But Fourth Uncle listens to Father, and the group will not be passed on to a married daughter."
Zhong Yan raised an eyebrow, his posture relaxed.
Before he could speak, Assistant Liang pushed open the door, "Boss."
Zhong Yan looked up. "What?"
Assistant Liang reminded him, "Please check your phone now; I've sent you the news page."
Zhong Yan opened her phone, which displayed the scandal of Ji Ting's illegitimate son.
No wonder she told the PR team to get ready this morning.
Zhong Yan: "Have the PR team prepare to release what I told you this morning."
Zhong Yan put down her phone and prepared to leave. Ji Yingying said, "Trust me, only we are your best choice."
Zhong Yan looked up and said, "It's good that you guys are dragging her down."
He wouldn't be overly worried about Ji Tanyuan causing trouble for him in Yanjing.
Assistant Liang couldn't stand it any longer. Didn't he see that Zhong Yan was losing her temper? He reminded her, "Miss Ji, something has happened to your family."
Ji Yingying was stunned. She looked down at her phone and saw a message of comfort from her friend.
She had a bad feeling.
Zhong Yan got up and left. Illegitimate children are common in wealthy families, but they are not normal.
Zhong Yan simply removed the scandal; Ji Tanyuan could expose it, but he could also remove it—anything with too much impact was unacceptable.
The Zhong family is still related to the Ji family by marriage, at least now.
If this really blows up, they'll be in big trouble when they get back.
Ji Tanyuan sat on the sofa in the chairman's office, supporting her forehead, listening to her father's reprimand.
Ji Qing said in a deep voice, "Ji Tanyuan, others may not know, but I know it's you. You've gone too far this time."
"How can you be so heartless towards family ties? Your uncle's family has been kind to us."
After a moment of silence, Ji Tanyuan spoke, "Do you believe he will find my brother?"
"Could that be my brother? Did your uncle's family do you a favor, or do you feel indebted to them?"
Ji Qing took out a cigarette, saw Ji Tanyuan, and then put the cigarette back in the cigarette case, somewhat irritated: "If you kick him out of the Ji Group board of directors, then what? He won't be a member of the Ji family anymore? Qinghe Real Estate has been extremely complicated since its inception. If you give Qinghe to him completely, just dealing with the non-performing assets will be troublesome."
Ji Tanyuan closed her eyes but said something else directly, "Brother won't be coming back."
Ji Qing's eyes darkened, as if he couldn't stand her words, and he scolded, "Ji Tanyuan, that's enough!"
Ji Tanyuan opened her eyes. "Even if I say it a thousand times, it's still the same. He's dead. It's time to wake up from this dream."
Ji Qing looked disappointed: "Have you stopped caring about family ties for profit to this extent? Huanghuang, let Dad teach you..."
“Dad!” Ji Tanyuan interrupted her.
"You were the one who arranged my marriage, and now you're saying I did it for personal gain? Aren't I your daughter?"
With tears welling up in her eyes, she said, "How do you account for the grievances I suffered in this arranged marriage? Now you're telling me I don't care about family ties. They're forming cliques and embezzling public funds in the group, and I'm covering the losses. Why don't you go and tell them to consider my feelings?"
“I’m in a meeting here, and Ji Yingying went to Zhong Yan to ask for cooperation. Why don’t you go and ask them to consider my situation?”
"I deserve it, right? I deserve to be bullied by both sides."
Ji Tanyuan wiped away her tears. "To be honest, I hate your three older brothers. I really hate them."
Ji Qing seemed unable to bear watching any longer and turned his head to look out the window.
Ji Tanyuan picked up her handbag. "Actually, the grievances they caused me are less than 1% of what you and Mom did for me."
"I'll say it one last time: Ji Ting must leave the Ji family. I will eliminate his people one by one, no matter the cost. If you're upset, you can either stand by and watch, or stand by my side if you still consider me your daughter."
Ji Qing was shocked. "Huanghuang, what will happen to the Ji family clan if you kill them all like this?"
Ji Tanyuan: "Then start by rewriting a page from your own hand. Those people aren't worth it."
“I disagree,” Ji Qing said from behind Ji Tanyuan.
Ji Tanyuan paused in her action of opening the office door, gripped the doorknob tightly, and turned her back to her father.
My vision blurred, the door began to distort, but the tears stubbornly refused to fall. This kind of grievance was even more intense than that inflicted by outsiders.
She used to be abroad and not often in China, so these family matters didn't affect her relationship with her father. But now, in front of his brothers, it turns out that the father-daughter relationship wasn't very deep.
Ji Qing sighed and earnestly advised, "I feel worse than you when the group has problems. I am also learning from the lessons, so I agree to your equity reform. Your uncle and the others are not professionals, so they only need to receive dividends. They don't need to be kicked out."
Ji Tanyuan opened the door and left without looking back.
She went downstairs straight to her office, where Yu Yanna had been waiting for a long time. "How did it go?"
Ji Tanyuan pursed her lips. "Not very good."
Yu Yanna noticed that Ji Tanyuan's eyes were red and asked, "Did you have a fight?"
Ji Tanyuan lay back on the sofa and hummed in agreement.
Yu Yanna went to her refrigerator, took out an ice pack, wrapped it in tissue paper, and applied it to the person's eyes. "President Ji, to put it bluntly, you have to stick with Chairman Ji on your side right now."
Now is not the time to be willful.
Ji Tanyuan closed her eyes. "He won't be on my side. The best outcome is that he remains neutral. How's the public relations going?"
When this topic came up, Yu Yanna didn't know how to begin.
"Your husband, only your husband could do this. He took the news down before it even spread widely. Did you not talk to him about it? He was so fast and proactive."
Ji Tanyuan chuckled twice. "Hehe."
Yu Yanna added, "But this way, our plan can't proceed."
As soon as he finished speaking
A commotion erupted outside the door, punctuated by Ji Ting's shout, "Tell her to get out here!"
Ji Tanyuan closed her eyes, listening to the cursing outside the door, "My biggest regret is that I don't know how to curse."
Suddenly, it became quiet outside the door.
Outside Ji Tanyuan's office corridor, Ji Ting stood at the door, while Zhong Yan, who had arrived later, sat in an unidentified employee's chair.
"Uncle, I've already removed your news articles, so why are you still saying it's Tan Yuan?"
Zhong Yan appeared to be sitting, but his calm and unhurried demeanor overwhelmed those who were standing. He was the only one sitting in the room, toying with his sunglasses. "Five illegitimate children, each with a different mother. What, you dare to do it but not admit it?"
Zhong Yan laughed as he said this, “I should have said something about reproductive isolation when your daughter offered herself to me. It’s not her fault, it’s her father’s fault for being a philanderer.”
