"Sister-in-law, why are you accusing someone without investigating the matter thoroughly?!"
"Exactly! You made us cause such a huge blunder!"
Everyone turned their anger towards Chi Yanping, their words accusing her: "Zhiyi is Old Master Shen's granddaughter, how could she possibly be some kind of hostess!"
"I knew Zhiyi looked so delicate and precious, she looked like a young lady raised in a wealthy family."
"It's nothing like what my sister-in-law said about her humble origins."
"Zhiyi, I'm so sorry."
"We were a bit harsh just now, so please apologize and don't take it to heart."
They offered a toast to Shen Zhiyi as an apology.
Shen Zhiyi thought that they were Shang Zeyan's relatives after all, so she also drank two cups.
They're just a bunch of opportunists.
There's no need to fuss over it.
Seeing that Shen Zhiyi had drunk alcohol, they concluded that she was a generous and easygoing person, and their affection for her grew even stronger.
A straightforward relative said, "In the end, the blame lies with the eldest sister-in-law. She's already so old, yet she still tries to sow discord."
"Isn't she afraid that her older brother will come to her in a dream in the middle of the night and scold her?"
"You!" Chi Yanping was so angry that the implants on her face almost shifted.
She feels like she's being roasted over a fire.
My mind was in a complete panic.
With such a powerful background, if Shen Zhiyi were to marry Shang Zeyan, all the relatives in the old house would definitely turn against her!
No one will ever stand by her side again!
A strong sense of crisis rose in Chi Yanping's heart.
His desire to kill Shen Zhiyi grew stronger.
She lowered her eyes.
They quickly started making calculations.
From a distance, Ji Xiaolian noticed the change in their attitude towards Shen Zhiyi.
He was so angry he almost crushed the wine glass.
How could this be...?
That canary, she actually comes from a wealthy family?!
A deep sense of resentment welled up in her heart.
Why is it that she's the only one who can't be reincarnated?
It would have been fine if they had been born into an ordinary family, but they ended up with a father who was an alcoholic and a gambler!
This world is so unfair to her!
Why should I?!
She's clearly the female lead!
Ji Xiaolian broke down.
But nobody cared.
Shang Zeyan's gaze fell on Shen Zhiyi's hand.
A pair of delicate hands were held tightly by Bai Jin, swaying back and forth.
He narrowed his eyes, a sense of displeasure rising within him.
"Has this young lady finished catching up?"
He pulled Shen Zhiyi's hand away without changing his expression. "It's time to give Zhiyi back to me."
He led her toward the garden outside.
Bai Jin watched their retreating figures, her lips twitching.
President Shang's controlling nature is indeed more renowned than that of the Shang Group itself.
He's even jealous of women.
Shen Zhiyi allowed Shang Zeyan to lead her to a corner where roses were in full bloom.
A corner of the corridor, fragrant with aroma.
She stopped and looked up at Shang Zeyan.
His brows and eyes were sinister, and even his jawline was cold and taut.
He was still speculating in his mind.
Is he angry?
She bit her lip and took the initiative to admit her mistake.
"Zeyan, I'm sorry."
"I didn't mean to keep it from you, I just hadn't found the right time to tell you."
"Don't be angry with me, okay?"
She reached out her fingertips, tugged at his sleeve, and shook it.
Shang Zeyan lowered his eyes and saw the gentleness in her eyes, and the coquettish reproach in her eyes.
My heart skipped a beat.
Zhiyi... was being affectionate with him.
His eyes suddenly darkened.
His Adam's apple bobbed up and down incessantly.
He wished he could just hoist her onto his shoulders and take her straight away from the venue... This kind of overly affectionate behavior should only be seen by him...
But we still need to ask the questions we need to clarify.
"You are the daughter of the Shen family, why would you work part-time at a club?" Shang Zeyan asked, lowering his eyes.
He just wanted to know.
Was their meeting a coincidence, or was it a deliberate arrangement?
"It's for you."
Shen Zhiyi stared intently at him, "I came here for you from the very beginning."
Shang Zeyan even held his breath.
Did she... deliberately approach him?
For some reason, this fact did not anger him; instead, it aroused a deeper excitement within him.
The thought that Shen Zhiyi had gone to such lengths just to be by his side was unbearable.
He was completely overwhelmed by ecstatic joy.
But...why?
The sudden question backfired, dampening Shang Zeyan's good mood.
Knowing one's intentions and admiring strength.
What she wanted to get close to was perhaps just the glamorous and unsmiling Shang Zeyan in front of outsiders.
She is Shang Zeyan, a calm and powerful CEO.
Shang Zeyan has an iron fist.
If she knew that her inner self was so terrible, that she was an emotionally unstable, possessive, and controlling madwoman who wanted to do many outrageous things to her...
Will she still want to get close to him?
Such speculation nearly broke him.
Shang Zeyan's thin lips, which had just lifted, instantly pressed down and flattened.
His eyebrows were deeply furrowed.
My whole being was once again enveloped by worry and gloom.
"I'm not angry with you." His voice was low and hoarse, and there was a hint of melancholy in the corners of his eyes.
"Really?" Shen Zhiyi's eyes lit up immediately.
“Really.” Shang Zeyan took a step closer, pinning her between the wall and his broad chest.
Beside them were clusters of blooming roses.
Under the moonlight, he asked her cautiously.
"Zhiyi, what kind of person am I in your eyes?"
Shen Zhiyi was stunned.
It seems they didn't understand what he meant.
Shang Zeyan pursed his lips. "I mean, you're already close to me. What kind of person do you see me as?"
