Chapter 7 Family Banquet

"Well, it's not just him."

"I will stay away from the Ji family in the future."

Shen Yan muttered, her voice getting smaller and smaller.

Due to the hangover, Shen Yan couldn't sleep peacefully.

The man stood up very gently, but she still woke up.

I got up and walked to the balcony, just in time to see the man driving away. It was a Volkswagen.

Because the distance was too far, Shen Yan did not see the string of letters under the Volkswagen logo.

Although she doesn't know much about cars, she also knows that this is a down-to-earth, affordable brand that can be found everywhere on the road.

When she finished washing and went out, she saw several moving company cars parked in the villa opposite.

The staff are moving furniture into the villa, which is a rare purple sandalwood bookcase. The owner of this family has good taste.

Not long after Shen Yan arrived at the company, his assistant called through the internal line, "Mr. Shen, Mr. Ji is here."

What is he here for?

"Just say I'm not here."

"I've heard it." Ji Hanxi's cold and low voice came from the other end of the phone.

The assistant on the side looked at Ji Hanxi's dark expression and didn't dare to express his anger.

"..."

"Go wait for me in the cafe downstairs!" Shen Yan hung up the phone first.

five minutes later.

Shen Yan appeared in the coffee shop and frowned, "What can't be said over the phone?"

A man wearing a dark gray handmade custom suit sits at a white square table with a cup of steaming coffee on the table.

"Mr. Shen is such a noble man who forgets things." Ji Hanxi looked at her coldly, "You come with me to the family dinner tomorrow."

If grandpa hadn't insisted on asking her to attend the family dinner, he wouldn't have bothered to care whether she went or not.

Normally, it would be okay if they all made excuses not to go. This time, the old man said that he had something to announce, and it must be about him getting the inheritance rights.

Grandpa has two daughters and three sons, each of whom has children. Counting the taciturn eldest brother he just found, he has twelve cousins, all of whom want a share of the Ji family.

Facing Ji Hanxi's cynicism, Shen Yan refused without thinking, "I have something to do tomorrow, so you can go by yourself."

When she thought of the countless family dinners she had attended, facing the cynicism of his family members, and being unable to say anything due to the favor of her elders, she felt that she was terribly useless.

She didn't want to experience such an aggrieved scene again. Since they were divorced, it was better for them to go their separate ways and avoid interacting with each other as much as possible.

Ji Hanxi frowned and looked at her. After being rejected repeatedly, he lost his temper and said, "If grandpa hadn't insisted on asking, I don't care whether you go or not."

Thinking of Grandpa Ji, Shen Yan said, "Grandpa, I will go and explain."

"If Mr. Ji has no other arrangements, I will leave first."

As soon as Shen Yan walked out the door, Ji Hanxi grabbed Bai Nen's arm.

"the last time."

"Grandpa should announce the heir to the group today."

Just when Shen Yan was about to reply, "It's none of my business," she heard Ji Hanxi say calmly.

"Your grandpa is now in a critical period of recovery after surgery, and you don't want him to have too much mood swings, right?"

Shen Yan freed his arm and raised the ends of his beautiful eyes, "Are you threatening me?"

"There's no threat, it's just mutual benefit."

"I'm with you this time, and I won't let them bully you again."

A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, and then she sneered in her heart.

It turns out that he has always known it all these years.

Shen Yan looked at him coldly, "Thank you, Mr. Ji, for showing mercy."

Ji Hanxi was in a good mood and didn't care about her sarcasm, "I'll pick you up at seven o'clock tomorrow night."

He was very satisfied with the way he could easily control Shen Yan. This was also the case in the past. Every time he behaved like a demon, she would not be able to help but come to him after just letting her go for a few days.

"Yurou, do you think that's Mr. Ji?"

"Who is that woman? Why is Mr. Ji chasing her and flirting with her?"

Qin Yurou followed her friend's gaze and saw what Ji Hanxi and Shen Yan were talking about. They were in an intimate posture, as if they were hugging her.

Only a few insiders knew about Ji Hanxi's marriage. Outside, she told her little sisters that she was Ji Hanxi's fiancée.

This Shen Yan is really haunting, she has to find a way to make Han Xi hate her even more, so much that she doesn't even want to see her.

She excused herself, "Maybe it's some relative of his. I'll ask him tonight. Let's go shopping first!"

Her friend took her arm affectionately and said, "Yurou, I envy you so much. You came back from studying abroad like a turtle, and your fiancé is handsome and rich."

"I heard that you passed the Summer interview."

"It's true love, double success in career, and a winner in life!"

"I just passed one round of interviews, and there is still a re-examination!"

"Yurou, you are so good, you will definitely be fine for the re-examination."

Qin Yurou smiled from ear to ear listening to the little sisters' praise.

Time flies to the next day.

Ji family dinner.

Ji Hanxi and Shen Yan were the last to arrive. He went to the study to see his grandfather for something, leaving Shen Yan alone at the banquet.

I was picked up before dinner, and I was about to eat some dessert to cushion my stomach when I heard a sarcastic voice, "Some people are so thick-skinned that they really treat this place as their own home."

"As expected, he came from a small door and a small house, and he can't get on the stage."

The person who spoke was Ji Hanxi's third aunt, Zhao Mingzhu. She was a simple-minded and hot-tempered person who would rush forward whenever others made a move.

Anyway, this is my last time here, and there is a high probability that I will not see you again in the future.

Shen Yan picked up the dessert on the table and ate it in small bites, "What the third aunt said is that the Shen family is only in the real estate business, and it is really not as good as your family who runs a supermarket. It is open to all rivers and can be on the stage."

"That is……

My supermarket has everything. "

She is also the daughter-in-law of Ji's family. Her family has at least a few companies. I heard that her third aunt's family runs a community supermarket. Who is a small family?

When she heard the people around her chuckle, she realized that Shen Yan was mocking her.

"you you you……."

I've been waiting for a long time, but you haven't come up with anything.

Qin Lan, the fourth aunt, smiled and held Shen Yan's hand, "Okay, don't argue with your third aunt. It will hurt the harmony. Everything will be happy if the family is harmonious."

"That's what the fourth aunt said."

Shen Yan took out her hand without leaving a trace. Among the sisters-in-law, the most powerful was the fourth aunt Smiling Tiger. If it weren't for his and her children being too young, only sixteen years old, the position of the heir to the Ji family would not necessarily be From Ji Hanxi.

She tried to persuade her to make peace, but in reality she said she was careless. Her third aunt looked at her with eyes that made her want to burst into flames.

Shen Yan didn't want to hang out with them here, so she might as well go to the fish pond in the garden to feed the fish.

She took the fish food and went straight to the fish pond. She looked at the small fish fighting each other for food and the Ji family fighting for power. What was the difference?

"Are rights really that important?" Shen Yan murmured.

“What’s more important is the person who has the rights, and the rights themselves are neutral.”

"who?"

Shen Yan turned around when she heard the sound, but unexpectedly she squatted for too long and lost her balance for a moment. Just when she thought she was about to fall into the pool, she fell into a warm embrace.

There was the pleasant fragrance of cedar again. When Shen Yan looked at the handsome man with clear lines and three-dimensional features in front of her, she lost consciousness again.

"Miss Shen, do you always like to use such low-level ways of picking up conversations?" the man said with some venom.
