Chapter 76 I Like Mrs. Ji So Much
Hiss…
The guests couldn’t help but gasp.
Just what kind of background did Mrs. Ji have? Didn’t they say that she came from the slums? Her biological father only had a little money and didn’t have much background. How could Wei Yong and Zhuang Hengyu, Wei Yong’s younger brother, not be angry after being beaten up and the Zhuang family’s orchid being destroyed? Their att.i.tudes were more and more cordial and low.
The crowd began to wonder if Shen Hanxing had some powerful family background.
!!
Those deep in thought were already thinking about whether there was a conspiracy. Zhuang Hengyu was the eldest grandson of the Zhuang family, and Wei Yong was also the person in charge of the Wei Group. The three big shots of S City gathered and got along harmoniously. Were they going to make some big moves? Or did they think that Ji Yan was ill recently, and the business world was in turmoil, so they wanted to unite and suppress some other enterprises who had plans on making moves?
It seemed that they still had to observe and be humble.
At the same time, their att.i.tude toward Shen Hanxing became more and more cautious, and they did not dare to look down on her anymore.
To show that she was not stalling, Shen Hanxing would take photos of the orchid every day and send the treatment methods and changes of the orchid to Old Master Zhuang’s a.s.sistant. Her att.i.tude was sincere, and she was not perfunctory in her treatment of the orchid. Most importantly, the orchid had indeed improved. Any flower lover would want to befriend someone who could nurture and treat the flower. The level of patience and skills that Shen Hanxing had shown in nurturing flowers was enough to make Old Master Zhuang think highly of her.
Old Master Zhuang intended to amend their relationship at the Ji family banquet. When he thought of his previous inappropriate actions, he called for his two grandchildren to come and apologize on his behalf of him. His att.i.tude was sincere.
“It’s nothing,” Shen Hanxing smiled and said, “The Ji family is also responsible for this matter. It’s understandable for Old Master Zhuang to lose his temper in desperation. There’s no need to apologize.”
Ji Yan’s leg had improved. He was only waiting for the wound to heal before he started to recuperate. Shen Hanxing’s att.i.tude toward the chief surgeon, Zhuang Hengyu, was good. Both parties intended to come into contact, so the atmosphere was naturally harmonious. In just a short while, Zhuang Yu was shamelessly putting her arm around Shen Hanxing’s arm. “Mrs. Ji, I’m the same age as Ji Qian. Can I call you sister-in-law too?”
“If you want a sister-in-law, ask your brother to get married soon. Why are you s.n.a.t.c.hing my sister-in-law away?” Coincidentally, Ji Qian, who happened to pa.s.s by, was angry when she heard those words. If they weren’t in a banquet, she wanted to go up and pull Zhuang Yu’s hand away. Many people were s.n.a.t.c.hing her sister-in-law from her every day!
Zhuang Hengyu, who didn’t expect that Ji Qian would drag him into the situation, had a helpless expression. “I’m sorry, you don’t have a sister-in-law because I am useless.”
“No.” Zhuang Yu stuck out her tongue mischievously. “I don’t want a sister-in-law. I want a sister-in-law like Mrs. Ji.”
After saying that, she suddenly realized that her words were ambiguous. She blushed embarra.s.sedly. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean that. I just like Mrs. Ji so much.”
Zhuang Hengyu also felt a little awkward. He subconsciously touched the tip of his nose and could not help but look at Shen Hanxing.
“Many people like my sister-in-law,” Ji Qian did not notice anything weird. She pouted and mumbled, “No matter how much they like her, she is still my sister-in-law.”
She knew everyone was talking about her sister-in-law. When those socialites chit-chatted with her, they would talk about her sister-in-law. They envied her for having such a beautiful and valiant sister-in-law!
It was so annoying because everyone was coveting her sister-in-law.
Ji Qian held onto Shen Hanxing’s other arm in displeasure. After looking around, she asked, “Sister-in-law, where’s my brother?”
She wanted her brother to come out and show everyone Shen Hanxing belonged to him. So no one would s.n.a.t.c.h her sister-in-law anymore.
“He is resting in his room. Why are you looking for him?” Shen Hanxing’s eyes flashed and asked softly.
Now was not the time for Ji Yan to show his face. If they wanted to find the rat hiding in the dark, they had to be more patient.
“It’s nothing. I’m just asking casually,” Ji Qian waved her hand and then said, “sister-in-law, please continue attending to the guest. I’ll bring Miss Zhuang to meet my friends.”
Ji Qian did not want to let Zhuang Yu have much contact with her sister-in-law to prevent Zhuang Yu from s.n.a.t.c.hing her sister-in-law away.
Just as Zhuang Yu was about to reject her, Ji Mei walked over from not far away. “Hanxing, it’s good that you’re here. I have something to tell you.”
After Ji Mei came, Zhuang Yu couldn’t stay by Shen Hanxing’s side anymore. She could only leave with Ji Qian. Zhuang Hengyu also left that place.
Shen Hanxing picked up a gla.s.s of fruit wine and took a sip. “What’s the matter, Auntie?”
