601 Someone Scolded Sister-in-law
“Who is it?” Just then, a sweet female voice came from the door. Seeing that Ji Yan had been standing at the door for a long time without making a sound, Shen Hanxing walked over and poked her head out from behind him. When she saw the person at the door, she asked curiously, “Qiao Xi? What’s the matter?”
Qiao Xi’s face was as pale as a sheet. Shen Hanxing’s hair had not been dried and was still dripping wet over her shoulders. Ji Yan had blocked most of her body and only a small part of her fair shoulders could be seen. Did she take a shower or something? Qiao Xi couldn’t help but let her thoughts run wild. She took a deep breath. No, Ji Yan and Shen Hanxing were husband and wife. It was only natural for them to do anything in the room, wasn’t it?
Qiao Xi forced a smile and said in a low voice, “It’s time to eat. Old Madam asked me to rush you. I went to knock on Madam Ji’s door just now, but no one answered.”
“So that’s how it is. I’ve just taken a shower. I’ll go downstairs after I change,” Shen Hanxing replied with a smile.
Qiao Xi nodded her head and didn’t say anything else, as if she was afraid to see something she shouldn’t. She lowered her head and quickly went downstairs, looking like she was escaping.
Shen Hanxing looked at Qiao Xi’s back and shook her head helplessly. “Qiao Xi’s still too timid. She’s always so nervous.” She had been staying here for a few days, but she was still so scared that she could not speak at the sight of Ji Yan, as if she was facing a flood or a ferocious beast.
“My wife, it’s time to dry your hair.” Ji Yan could not be bothered to care about insignificant people. He gently pushed Shen Hanxing’s shoulder and said in a gentle voice, “Be careful not to catch a cold.”
“I’m not that pampered,” Shen Hanxing chuckled and mumbled to herself, but she did not retort. The laughter that followed was shut in the room. After drying her hair, Shen Hanxing changed into a long dress and the two of them went downstairs for dinner.
After dinner, Ji Qian and Ji Mo accompanied grandma for a walk in the garden, while Ji Ning went upstairs to practice her violin. Ji Zhou sat on the sofa and played with his phone. As he was playing, he suddenly sat up straight and cursed with an ugly expression, “艹! What nonsense are these people talking about?”
“What’s wrong?” Shen Hanxing was slightly taken aback. She looked up and asked, “Who provoked you? Why are you so angry?” She had just asked casually, but she didn’t expect Ji Zhou’s expression to change. It was as if he had just realized that she was also in the living room. Ji Zhou’s eyes dodged and his eyes flickered as he vaguely said, “No… Nothing… I just saw some stupid people online and felt angry.”
Shen Hanxing looked at him suspiciously.
Ji Zhou’s fingers rubbed his mobile phone and his expression was a little uneasy. He forced himself to sit calmly on the sofa and changed his posture after a few seconds. His eyes occasionally drifted to Ji Yan, who was concentrating on reading documents. When Shen Hanxing saw this, she was certain that something had happened, and it was something that had to do with her. She looked at Ji Zhou and said, “What is it that you need to hide from me?”
Although Ji Yan was reading the documents, it was hard for him not to notice Ji Zhou’s eyes on him. He followed Shen Hanxing and said, “If there’s anything you want to say, just say it. Why are you hiding it?”
Ji Zhou opened his mouth and suspected that Ji Yan was such an unromantic man. On what basis could he marry such a good wife like Sister-in-law? Oh, he suddenly remembered that it was not Ji Yan who managed to get her to marry him, but someone else from Ji Corporation helped to move things along. Ji Zhou muttered inwardly, and his usually nonchalant face showed some hesitation, “Big Brother, why don’t we have a private chat first?”
“There’s nothing I can’t tell your sister-in-law.” Ji Yan frowned and finally raised his head to look at Ji Zhou. He said with some finality, “If you have something to say, just say it.”
Seeing that Ji Yan wasn’t happy, Ji Zhou subconsciously straightened his back. Forget it, the matter had already blown up and Sister-in-law would know about it sooner or later. When he thought of this, Ji Zhou simply said, “Someone is scolding Sister-in-law online.” A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he swiped the phone screen and handed it over. He continued, “It’s quite a big commotion. I don’t think this matter is simple.”
Someone was scolding her? Shen Hanxing thought it was strange. She had not caused any trouble recently, and her college entrance examination results were not out yet, so what were these netizens up to?
As Ji Yan took the phone, Shen Hanxing leaned over and looked at the screen with him. On the screen were the words: ‘A lady from a wealthy family beat a pregnant woman and her fiancé in public. She’s lawless and arrogant!’ Shen Hanxing’s eyes darkened when she saw the sensational news headline.
They clicked on the video. Although the people in the video had been censored, Shen Hanxing could still recognize them. They were Lu Shaoyang and Su Ling.
