Chapter 604 Pair of sly foxes.
After all Ji Shan was still a teenage girl and she could no longer hold on to the anger in her heart and her expression twisted into something more ferocious as she shouted, " Why? Why am I not fit for anything? Grandma, I have accompanied you for so many months and am I not better than a girl who has hated you for so many years? She has hated you, despised you and even blamed you for the death of her mother when she was the one who was born as a jinx and killed Aunt Shui, do you really want to let a girl like her accompany you? Grandma think about it, I might be not the best granddaughter one can have but I am at least not a jinx who ate her mother! What has she done to receive the love of your family, when I was the one who had to act silly to make you happy? I was the one who had to listen to your stories for hours and even act excited like I found them amusing, what"s so good about a girl who has hated you for so long? How can I accept this? Yes, I did hurt you but I was being forced, I have a little brother and I had no choice but to think about him but deep down I cared for you as well, I didn"t want you to suffer! How can a girl who never cared about you match up to me? At least I was by your side, what about her, how is she any better than me?"
Ji Shan couldn"t hide her true colours any longer and as she burst out the entire banquet hall was stunned to speechlessness, this girl was she sick in her mind? The fact alone that Su Wan was the biological granddaughter of the Old Madam Shen alone was enough to make her more worthy than anyone else!
Old madam Shen on the other hand was very calm as she indifferently looked at JI Shan. The indifference in her eyes extinguished the flame in Ji Shan"s heart at once.
Old madam Shen sighed and calmly stated, " Ji Shan you seemed to have forgotten what your parents and grandfather said when they brought you over. They said to me that I can use you as a replacement for my Wan Wan because you resemble Shui Shui a little, and I can use you as a pastime while living the rest of my days… If you hadn"t done all the things that you said you had to do, do you think that you would have been able to stay at the Shen mansion for so long? You would have lost all your value, then what good you would have been to me?"
" Grandma…Grandma, how can you say that..aren"t I, your favourite granddaughter?" Ji Shan"s face was full of shock. She never thought that the Old madam Shen who had loved and doted on her for so long would say such heartless words. She thought that she was smarter, thinking that she will be able to push the blame on the Ji family what she did not know was that Old madam Shen was a woman who had more experience than she had white hair on her head.
How can she not see through the scheme now that it was put out in open like this?
With a face that was full of disappointment and remorse, Old madam Shen continued, " Maybe I am to blame, I have been so kind to you that you seemed to have forgotten what was your duty when you came here, did you think that just because I was kind to you I will forgive that you tried to poison me? That you tried to kill my granddaughter?"
" I was forced——"
" Then you could have come to me and told me the truth," said Old madam Shen coldly with a sharp glint in her eyes. " But you didn"t, instead you silently fanned the flames from behind, isn"t it because you too wanted to watch me die and gobble the properties under me? I treated you well because I was blind, blind that I couldn"t see that you have such a black heart beating inside you but then again, if I did, how would I have ever doubted my beloved brother who has always pretended to be the nice to me, right?"
Old man Ji crawled to his knees and clung to his sister"s leg, he knew that everything was over and if he didn"t do anything, he wouldn"t be able to take care of the Ji family with his capabilities. " Sister, I know that I was wrong but please … please for the sake of my father, please don"t abandon the Ji family."
Old madam Shen shook her head and pulled her leg away from her cousin. " Do you think that I am such a fool that I will continue to keep a snake by my side now that I know that it wanted to kill me all along?" Then she paused as she added, " And what good a married daughter can be? My husband is dead but I am still a daughter that was married off, you are the head of the Ji family why should I be the one taking care of you and your leech of your family?"
Old man Ji said nothing and neither did Ji Shan, their complexion turned grey with defeat.
The two of them were in despair and so were Shen Zeyu and Shen Yuchen, they didn"t think that their fathers would be able to get out of this ordeal.
Clearly, they were the biggest culprit here —— they wanted to spend more time with Su Wan that was why they hid the fact that they were living with her for so long from the Shen family but now they actually twisted it into another version where the guilty ones became their grandmother who was too gullible and their third uncle who didn"t put a stop to grandma"s antics.
Sure enough, their fathers were a pair of sly foxes!
A/n; please show some love!!
