827 I Told You to Scram
Shen Sisi stared innocently at Shen Hanxing. “Sister, you don’t like Dad’s old ways but he’s willing to change. Don’t be angry with him anymore, okay?” Those who didn’t know better would think that Shen Hanxing was being unreasonable while Shen Yong was just a kind father waiting for his daughter, Shen Hanxing, to visit him. True enough, netizens on the live chat who did not know better had already started urging Shen Hanxing to go home and have a chat with Shen Yong.
In addition, people would also concoct all sorts of malicious stories. They would think that Shen Hanxing was cold and hard, which was why her sister, Shen Sisi and her father had to resort to this. Everyone was a saint online and they would comment that Shen Hanxing should have done this and that. They would never think that Shen Yong and Shen Sisi had done something that caused Shen Hanxing to hate them so much. This was what netizens were like. They only saw what they wanted to see, and they always thought that they were right.
Shen Hanxing smirked as she stood straight unflinchingly. Her brows were colder than a snowy mountain, and her eyes were determined. She wasn’t good at saying things that pleased the public but compared to pleasing others, she was even more unwilling to let herself suffer or lower herself. In any case, Shen Yong was not worthy. She would never forgive him, and she would never acknowledge that she had such a father.
“I won’t go back.” Shen Hanxing said coldly, her tone light but firm. “Tell Shen Yong that if there’s anything, he can come and find me. There is no need to go around asking people to pass on the message.” She glared at Shen Sisi, the sarcasm in her eyes clear as day. “I also don’t need you to pretend to be all sisterly when you are really trying to sow discord and ruin my reputation.”
The summer sun was pouring down at them, but Shen Hanxing stood there like she embodied both summer and winter. She shone so bright that no one dared to look directly at her but Shen Sisi was so emotional that she trembled. Shen Sisi didn’t need to look at the live chat to guess the impact of Shen Hanxing’s unrepentant words. It wasn’t that the netizens were irrational, but when the fire didn’t burn them, they wouldn’t feel the pain.
“Sister, I know that you don’t like me, but I really didn’t mean that.” Shen Sisi covered her face and sobbed, “If you are unwilling to forgive Dad because of my existence, I can move out of the house. Sister, Dad really misses you. Stop being so headstrong.”
“I told you to scram. Are you deaf?” A bone-chilling voice suddenly rang out. Ji Yan’s emotionless black eyes were like a dangerous abyss. He stepped in front of Shen Hanxing to shield her and then continued, “I don’t hit women, but if you continue to provoke my wife, I will make an exception for you.”
Ji Yan’s aura was frightening. His hostility was like a sharp sword glint that pierced through the sunlight and stabbed into her face. A chill ran down her spine as Shen Sisi stood frozen on the spot, her pupils dilated. So scary. Why was Ji Yan so scary?
“Don’t even think about using my wife to climb the social ladder.” Ji Yan’s cold gaze swept across the live stream camera as he continued firmly, “If Shen Yong has the galls, he can come and find me. Shen Hanxing is now my woman. Do you think she’s someone you can bully?”
Ji Yan sensed Shen Sisi’s fear and withdrawal. He smiled coldly, contempt and disdain all over his face. After scaring Shen Sisi, Ji Yan turned around and held Shen Hanxing’s hand. His handsome and perfect face was slightly lowered, and his icy black eyes softened as he said gently, “If anyone has a problem with my wife, come and take it out on me.” He then turned his head slightly to look at Shen Sisi and said authoritatively, “I will bear all the consequences of my wife’s actions.”
Shen Hanxing’s heart warmed, like a cozy fireplace on a chilly night. She and Ji Yan were both smart people. They knew very well how their speech today would be interpreted by people who want to harm them. As the person in charge of Ji Corporation, he should have been more mindful of his public image. But he didn’t balance interests and stood in front of her without hesitation. All he wanted to do was to protect her.
