Ji Sirou bit her lip in disbelief.

It was obviously her who was wronged, and she even asked her to apologize to Ji Rao.

If the person who made her apologize was her father, she would inevitably turn around and leave, but the person who ordered her to apologize was the uncle who had always scared her.

Ji Sirou pinched her palm, and said to Ji Rao with a numb expression: "I'm sorry Rao." ”

Ji Rao suppressed the rising corners of her mouth, "It's okay, sister." ”

She stretched out her hand and took Ji Sirou's hand and comforted: "Don't be sad, sister, uncle and dad decided this way, it is out of consideration for the Ji family, uncle and dad still love you, you have to understand the hard work of uncle and dad, don't hate uncle and dad." ”

Looking at Chen Yaru and Ji Sirou's dejected appearance, Ji Rao was in a happy mood.

Although hooking up with the wrong person, it seems to turn out well.

It's just that Chen Yaru and Ji Sirou's mother and daughter have been cheapened, and their father has been cheapened.

Her dad seemed pretty happy.

Ji Rao felt a little regretful in her heart.

The two families discussed in private, and gathered in the living room again, and the old man Shang asked Ji Hongzhen with a smile, "I don't know what your Ji family thinks, which one of my sons or grandsons is more suitable to be the son-in-law of the Ji family?" ”

The old man Shang gave the Ji family enough face, Ji Hongzhen said with a smile: "Whether it is Mr. Shang or Yanqin, it is our Ji family who has climbed high, just now I asked the two children, Sirou is the elder sister, she has always loved her sister on weekdays, and this time she chose to fulfill her sister." ”

This is all a scene, and the old man only listens to the results.

"That is, I want to marry my family." Old Man Shang's smile deepened, "Then let's continue now and engage Rao Rao and Yanjin to get married." ”

Ji Rao was stunned.

Betrothal?

Right now?

Ji Rao looked at Shang Yanjin and gave him a look, "Yanjin, I got engaged today, isn't it too hasty, this dowry was originally for my sister." ”

can't let her take over Ji Sirou's dowry.

The old man Shang replied for Shang Yanjin, "Don't worry, I have already prepared the dowry for Yanjin to marry his daughter-in-law, and I have already sent it over, and I will never wronged you." ”

Ji Rao choked, "No...... If it's not a grievance, it's ......"

Ji Rao walked up to Shang Yanjin and pulled his sleeve, trying to make him say something.

Shang Yanjin looked helpless, leaned into her ear, and whispered: "The old man is here to propose marriage today, we ruined Yanqin's engagement, and the old man is angry." ”

In other words, he didn't dare to resist Old Man Shang's decision.

I can't count on him, Ji Rao took a deep breath and pretended to be calm, "Uncle Shang, I am engaged to Yanjin, do you want to measure the eight characters and count it as an auspicious day of the zodiac?" Today, is it not quite appropriate. ”

Shouldn't merchants be very particular? How can you follow the day of your nephew's engagement to your uncle.

The old man Shang's voice was like a bell, and he scolded, "At a young age, feudal superstition. ”

Ji Rao was caught off guard and was yelled at.

Old Man Shang's gaze fell on Ji Rao's face with solemnity, he understood everything, and raised his eyebrows, "Listen to what you mean, you have disturbed my grandson's engagement, and you don't want to be responsible for my son." ”

Ji Rao was frightened, and subconsciously hid behind Shang Yanjin, moving behind Shang Yanjin in small steps, shaking his head, pursing his lips and not daring to say anything.

Chapter 38

The old man Shang suddenly screamed, Ji Hongzhen and Ji Hongyang were also startled, thinking that Ji Rao really didn't want to engage with Shang Yanjin in order to keep Ji Sirou and Shang Yanqin's marriage, and wanted to break up with Shang Yanjin, Ji Hongzhen hurriedly apologized.

"Mr. Shang, don't be angry, my family has no irresponsible intentions, she has a good relationship with her sister, her sister canceled the engagement, and she blames herself and feels guilty."

Ji Hongzhen's words were sincere, "Mr. Shang, don't worry, I have already asked Rao Rao, she is more affectionate to Mr. Shang than Jin, and it is difficult to give up, but I don't want her sister to be sad, so I thought about today, and chose another auspicious day to get married."

After speaking, he glanced at Ji Rao again, and signaled Ji Rao to stop talking nonsense, so as not to anger the old man Shang.

The old man Shang said in a deep voice: "They are all sisters, my sister has found a good family, why is my sister sad, is it possible that I can't see my sister?" ”

The old man suddenly pointed the finger at Ji Sirou again.

Ji Sirou's face was gloomy because of the cancellation of the marriage, and as soon as the old man Shang brought her words, everyone's eyes fell on her, and they happened to see her drooping face, looking like she couldn't see her sister's goodness.

Chen Yaru reacted quickly, quickly touched Ji Sirou's arm, and said with a smile: "Of course Rourou is happy for her sister." ”

No matter how much trouble she made in front of Ji Hongzhen, she didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction with Old Man Shang.

It's just that Ji Sirou can't bear it without her, standing silently and watching everyone talk about Ji Rao and Shang Yanjin's engagement is already her limit, no matter what, she can't squeeze out a smile, and with a straight face, anyone can see that she is unhappy.

Ji Hongzhen's face was about to be unbearable.

The old man Shang said with a cold face: "I have not been in good health for the past two years, and I can only go to your Ji family to propose marriage today, and I don't know if I can support this old bone another day, you give me the right words, today, do you want to marry the Ji family?" ”

The old man's words are bright, if the Ji family wants to marry the merchant, they will be engaged today, and after today, the Ji family wants to marry the merchant, but there is no door.

Ji Hongzhen said repeatedly: "Think about it, it is the honor of our Ji family to be able to marry the business. ”

Old Man Shang pursed his lips, and his heavy gaze fell on Ji Rao again.

Ji Rao hung her head, looking frightened, pursed her lips and remained silent.

Shang Yanjin's warm and generous hand grasped her hand, and his fingertips rubbed gently on the back of her hand as if he were soothing, and said to the old man Shang: "Dad, it was my idea to come over with Rao Rao, Rao Rao didn't know in advance that Yan Qin was going to be engaged to her sister, and I knew early in the morning that Yan Qin and Sister Rao Rao were engaged today, I was worried that after they got engaged, you would not agree with me and Rao Rao, so I coaxed Rao Rao to come with me, Yan Qin canceled the marriage contract because of this, the responsibility is all on me, don't blame Rao Rao." ”

Ji Rao kept hanging her head and didn't speak, and Shang Yanjin guessed that she didn't know what kind of small plan she was making in her heart.

The old man suddenly became angry, and for a moment she might really scare Ji Rao, but her courage was not so small that she was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak for a long time, and she came back to her senses in a few breaths, and she would definitely rack her brains to find a way to perfunctory the engagement.

In case this scheming little girl's brain turned around and really came up with a reasonable excuse to avoid the engagement, Shang Yanjin still decided the matter as soon as possible, and got engaged under the witness of the two parents, so she never thought about regretting it.

As he expected, Ji Rao was really thinking in her heart, what is the best of both worlds, which can not only destroy Ji Sirou's marriage, but also make Chen Yaru and Ji Sirou's mother and daughter angry, and she can not get engaged to Shang Yanjin today, but it really doesn't work, just let Ji Sirou and Shang Yanqin get engaged, she was struggling, and heard that Shang Yanjin took all the responsibility on himself in order to protect her.

He took her hand and approached the old man Shang, his voice was not slow, "Dad, you just wronged Rao Rao, you have to apologize to Rao Rao." ”

When the words fell, the entire living room was quiet for a moment, but he didn't expect that Shang Yanjin would ask Old Man Shang to apologize to Ji Rao.

The old man Shang was furious, "What are you talking about! ”

Shang Yanjin calmly repeated, "You have to apologize to Rao Rao. ”

Old Man Shang's eyes widened, his fingers trembling at Shang Yanjin, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Shang Yanqin stepped forward to support Old Man Shang, looked at Shang Yanjin with disapproval, and said disappointedly: "Uncle, how can you make grandpa apologize, grandpa is an elder and his health is not good, you ......"

Shang Yanjin's expression was still calm, looking at the old man Shang, with a firm attitude, "Rao Rao is affectionate to me, she has long sworn with me to stay together for the rest of her life, you misunderstood that she was irresponsible, and scolded her indiscriminately, she is young and timid, you scared her, and you want to apologize to her." ”

When the Ji family saw the father and son confronting each other, their hearts rose, and they didn't dare to interject, they didn't know which one to advise, they couldn't afford to offend the old man Shang, and they still didn't dare to say anything about it.

Ji Rao didn't expect that Shang Yanjin would ask the old man Shang to apologize to her in front of so many people, and the small tricks in her mind were thrown out of the clouds in an instant, and she looked at Shang Yanjin with a complicated mood.

Actually, it's not necessary at all.

Old Man Shang didn't wronged her.

She really didn't want to be responsible, and she did interfere with Shang Yanqin's marriage.

And the old man Shang scolded her, and didn't treat her well.

"Shang Yanjin, I don't have anything, I don't ......"

Ji Rao was trying to persuade Shang Yanjin not to contradict the old man Shang for herself, she was fine, before she finished speaking, the old man Shang picked up the crutch in his hand and slammed it towards Shang Yanjin's leg.

Shang Yanjin snorted, received a cane, his body swayed slightly, and he almost didn't stand firm.

When the second cane came down, Shang Yanjin was still standing in place, not dodging or dodging, beaten by the old man, Ji Rao reacted, and quickly pulled Shang Yanjin to dodge before the cane fell on Shang Yanjin.

The old man Shang was furious, pointed at Shang Yanjin and said, "Unfilial son, do you dare to hide?" ”

"He didn't hide, I pulled him to hide." Ji Rao defended Shang Yanjin and accused the old man, "Just talk, how can you beat someone?" What to do if you break someone! ”

Old Man Shang probably didn't expect that her little girl would dare to question him, incredible, "He is disobedient and unfilial, shouldn't he be beaten?" ”

"Where is he unfilial?" Ji Rao tilted her head and reasoned with him.

The old man Shang sneered, "If you have a daughter-in-law and forget your father, let the elders apologize to the juniors, you should be beaten!" ”

The old man waved his cane, and he was going to fight again.

"It shouldn't." Ji Rao stood in front of Shang Yanjin and stretched out her arms to protect him, "Even if you are an elder, you have to apologize for saying the wrong thing, and you can't be unreasonable." ”

Old Man Shang snorted coldly, "Tell me, which of my words was wrong?" ”

"Didn't you say it all?" Ji Rao said: "I have a deep affection for him, we have vowed to stay together for the rest of our lives, it is you who indiscriminately misunderstood me, reprimanded me, what mistake did I make when we met for the first time, you want to speculate about me maliciously like that, I am his girlfriend, what is wrong with him defending me, he is a man who stands up to the sky, how can he watch his girlfriend being bullied." ”

Old Man Shang laughed angrily, "You mean, I'm an old bone, bullying you a little girl?" ”

Ji Rao took a deep breath, raised her chin slightly, and was aggrieved, "Yes, you scolded me, you bullied me!" ”

Old Man Shang quibbled, "I just said a few words to you, you little girl, don't wronged people." ”

Ji Rao said: "Yanjin is just to let you apologize, in a word, I'm sorry, but in three words, you have to beat him." ”

Ji Hongzhen was eager, "Rao, don't talk nonsense." ”

Ji Rao ignored him, her big watery eyes looked at the old man Shang innocently and angrily, and complained, "Who are you, what am I, you have been in charge of the Shang family for decades, vertical and horizontal shopping malls, tall and majestic, powerful aura, no one is afraid, no one is disrespectful, your name is like thunder, I grew up listening to your legendary deeds, and my admiration for you in my heart is like the water of the Yellow River, you think, you just reprimanded me twice, but I don't know that for a little girl like me who has admired you since I was a child, hearing your reprimand is like a bolt from the blue, If you don't apologize to me, I will be upset, unable to swallow, and reflect on my mistakes. ”

This sudden wave of sycophants almost made Old Man Shang not stop laughing, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said coldly, "What a little girl with sharp teeth." ”

The old man Shang stared at Ji Rao with sharp eyes, as if he saw through everything, "Love is stronger than Jin? ”

He looked at Shang Yanjin with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "You are a little girl, you contradicted your father and mixed up your nephew's marriage, this little girl doesn't want to get engaged, what kind of affection is pretending to be in front of me, do you think I'm old and dizzy?" ”

Old Man Shang's eyes were terrified, and he looked at Ji Rao and Shang Yanjin scrutinically, "Yanjin, you said, are you guarding against Yanqin and not wanting him to marry the Ji family, so you found this little girl to act in such a scene and ruined the marriage between Yanqin and the Ji family?" ”

Ji Rao's expression was slightly stunned, and she reacted to the meaning of Old Man Shang's words, and sighed in her heart.

The old man Shang saw that he had just made an excuse and didn't want to get engaged, and suspected that he and Shang Yanjin were fake couples, and felt that Shang Yanjin was deliberately looking for her to act in order to prevent his nephew from marrying and seizing power.

Ji Rao's mind is complicated, the relationship between brothers and nephews in the big family is not as pure as ordinary people, huge assets will lead to brothers closing the wall, uncles and nephews fighting, now the wealthy big family in Beicheng still has some feudal and conservative rules left, the general family business is inherited by the eldest son, if there are several sons in the family, they usually give priority to cultivating the eldest son and eldest grandson, and the eldest son really can't support the wall, so he will consider other sons.

Some eldest sons can't support the wall, even if there are other sons, they will give priority to supporting the eldest grandson, even more excessively, the eldest son can't do it, the eldest grandson is still young and can't take over, so he coaxes the other sons to take charge of the work first, and when the eldest grandson grows up, and then let people give up the seat, which is equivalent to the uncle making a wedding dress for the nephew.

Shang Yanjin is because the eldest son of the old man Shang, Shang Yuanda, is too ridiculous, he will cross Shang Yuanda to take over the Shang family, Ji Rao has been back to China for a short time, and he doesn't know much about the internal affairs of the business, but from the fact that the old man Shang personally went to the Ji family to propose relatives for the eldest grandson Shang Yanqin, it can be seen that the old man Shang attaches great importance to Shang Yanqin, the eldest grandson, and outsiders can only see that Shang Yanjin is now the person in charge of the business, but they ignore that there are several nephews below him.

No matter how powerful Shang Yanjin is, there is an old man Shang above him, if the old man Shang thinks that Shang Yanjin and himself are deliberately acting to sabotage Shang Yanqin's marriage today, wouldn't Shang Yanjin be in the business in the future......

Ji Rao subconsciously looked at Shang Yanjin, who held her hand and gave her a reassuring look.

"Dad, you're too worried, Yanqin is what I grew up watching, my own nephew, when the eldest brother didn't care about the company's affairs, you handed over the company to me, Yanqin is the eldest son of the eldest brother, if he wants to take over the Shang Group, he can take my position.
