Of course, Ji Hui was not as strict with Shen Xiyan as he was with Ji Yuan. âThank you for coming to my birthday party, Miss Shen. 1â11 definitely take a good look at the congratulatory gift.â His expression softened.
Shen Xiyan smiled like a blooming flower. âYouâre welcome, Uncle Ji. Just call me Xiyan.â
The atmosphere between the two was so harmonious that Ye Guiwan became more and more worried about Song Qingyou.
Especially when Song Qingyou said she was going to call the police.
For a banquet like this, one couldnât even bring a cell phone. If they called the police, wouldnât they be breaking the rules?
If Ji Hui got angry, he wouldnât directly ban Qingyou, would he?
Ye Guiwan wasnât the only one who thought so. Everyone in the industry had the same thought.
After all, it was just a matter of banning an artist. Ji Hui could really do it.
Unless the scandal between Song Qingyou and Jiang Zhihan was real.
But how was this possible?
News of Song Qingyouâs pregnancy spread like wildfire, but what happened? Song Qingyou had come in stilettos today, and her belly was extremely flat. How could she look pregnant?
So, the scandal between her and Jiang Zhihan was probably just a rumor!
Song Qingyou was in danger.
Shen Xiyan glanced at Ye Guiwanâs face and couldnât help but feel proud.
If only Song Qingyou had made a bigger mistake. Ji Hui was so powerful in the industry, he was the perfect candidate to kill someone with a borrowed knife!
Shen Xiyan, who was immersed in her thoughts, realized that Ji Hui was looking at Song Qingyou again.
âUncle Ji-â
Ji Hui ignored her and walked toward Song Qingyou with his walking stick. Everyone was confused.
Logically speaking, Ji Hui didnât know Song Qingyou and should have just asked her to leave. Why was he walking towards her?
Under everyoneâs confused gaze, Ji Hui reached out his hand to Song Qingyou.
âMiss Song can come to my birthday party, it really makes my humble abode shine! Hahahaha.â
Ji Huiâs hearty laughter made everyone present dumbfounded.
What was this old man laughing so happily for?
Also, did he use the word âmakes my humble abode shineâ in the wrong place?
Ji Yuan, who knew his father well, felt his heart skip a beat. He had a feeling that he was doomed.
Mr. Liu, one of the people involved, tried to sneak into the crowd and pretend that he had never appeared.
Ji Hui didnât care what others thought of him and continued to say happily, âIf 1 had known that you would come, I would have asked Ji Yuan to pick you up!â âCui Lao said you didnât want the invitation, so I thought you didnât want to come.â
Song Qingyou didnât know Ji Hui, but from his tone, it seemed like he really wanted her to come, so she replied, âSister Guiwan gave me the invitation.â âGuiwan?â Ji Hui looked back at Ye Guiwan and nodded. â1 almost forgot.
Guiwan is also Cui Laoâs student.â
Song Qingyou nodded slightly.
âI wish you a long and happy life. 1 wonât be attending tonightâs banquet. Mr. Ji wants me to leave.â
âMr. Ji?â Ji Huiâs expression turned serious. âWhich Mr. Ji?â
Song Qingyou looked towards Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan shivered and wished he could bow to Song Qingyou and tell her to stop talking.
However, it was too late.
âJi Yuan, come over!â Ji Hui glared at him.
âYes.â Ji Yuan was extremely obedient. One look and one could tell that he had been yelled at many times.
âApologize to Miss Song!â
Ji Yuan was a little unwilling to accept the fact that he had to apologize without saying anything.
Thinking that Shen Xiyan was watching from behind, he became bolder. âDad, so many people saw Miss Song beating someone up at the banquetâ¦â âAlthough Iâve disturbed your birthday banquet, I wonât accept any harassment. This is a matter of principle.â
âThis is indeed a matter of principle. You did the right thing!â Ji Hui said, âJi Yuan, youâre chasing people out without distinguishing right from wrong. Is this what you promised me? That youâd host this banquet well?â
âDad-â
Ji Yuan wanted to say that Song Qingyou might be lying.
However, when he thought of how enthusiastic Ji Hui was towards Song Qingyou, even saying something like âIâm honored by your presenceâ, he decisively changed his words. âDad, I know 1 was wrong.â
âWhereâs the person who harassed Miss Song? Chase him out!â
âYes.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ji Yuan immediately went to call security.
As for the person who tried to blend into the crowd, he was already isolated by the others and could be seen at a glance.
Ji Hui revealed an apologetic expression.
âMiss Song, Iâm really sorry about today.â
âJi Yuan is an only child, and his mother gave birth to him when she was almost forty. She has always doted on him, but in the end, he was doted on to this extent. He does whatever others sayâ¦â
Song Qingyou raised her eyebrows.
Compared to Ji Yuan, she wanted to know why Ji Hui was so polite to her.
Fortunately, Ji Hui only nagged a few words before he extended his hand and made an inviting gesture.
âMiss Song, this way please.â
The two of them walked side by side.
The others were curious.
Ye Guiwan couldnât help but walk over. âTeacher, do you know Qingyou?â
âI know Miss Song, but Miss Song doesnât know me.â
Ji Hui smiled. âI admire Miss Songâs acting skills very much.â
Ye Guiwan didnât believe it, let alone Song Qingyou.
But it was obvious that Ji Hui had something to say to Song Qingyou alone.
Ye Guiwan took a step back and let them go upstairs.
After a while, Zhao Yingnan and those who had some friendship with Ye
Guiwan gathered around, wanting to find out about the relationship between Song Qingyou and Ji Hui.
Some of them were already guessing if Song Qingyou was Ji Huiâs illegitimate daughter.
Shen Xiyan looked at Ye Guiwan who was surrounded by three layers of people and couldnât help but snort coldly.
âMy dear sister, you seem very unhappy?â
The handsome young man put his head on Shen Xiyanâs shoulder and his voice sounded very ambiguous.
In a place where no one could see, the young manâs hand was moving up Shen Xiyanâs waist restlessly.
Shen Xiyan pushed him away, her face flushed and her eyes filled with anger. âShen Xiuren! Why are you here?â
âIf 1 wasnât here, wouldnât 1 be unable to watch this good show? Hmm?â
Shen Xiuren pressed down on her shoulders, not allowing her to move.
âYouâre really good at making Ji Yuan listen to you⦠But thatâs right. You can even coax the two at home and have them treat you like their own daughterâ¦â Shen Xiyan grabbed his hand that was about to go overboard. âWhat exactly are you trying to say?â
âSister, why are you so against Song Qingyou?â Shen Xiuren answered his own question. âLet me guess. Is it because of jealousy?â
âJealous that sheâs prettier than you, jealous that sheâs more popular than you?â Shen Xiyan bent her elbow and tried to attack. âLet go!â
âI advise elder sister not to move. If I cry out in pain, everyone will know that our relationship as siblings is not goodâ¦â
Shen Xiuren stuck out his tongue and licked Shen Xiyanâs ear like a venomous snake.
Shen Xiyan closed her eyes. âYouâd better let go of me. If anyone seesâ¦â
Before she finished speaking, a person who knew Shen Xiuren walked over.
âMr. Shen, you and your sister are really close.â
âOf course.â
Shen Xiuren replied with a smile.
As soon as he let go, Shen Xiyan nodded at him and left impatiently..
