None of Shen Nanyi and the others could hear clearly what the person on the other end of the phone said. They only saw Wang Yue's expression turn arrogant again.
Just a second ago, she was sobbing on the phone. But the moment she hung up, her face instantly turned fierce.
"Just you all wait!" It was nothing special for her to change her expression. Turning to look at Shen Nanyi, Wang Yue quickly issued a harsh threat with quite an imposing manner.
Suddenly, Shen Nanyi became curious. She wondered what kind of person Wang Yue's mother was that could give Wang Yue such an illusion. Since it seemed they had nothing else to do tonight, why not just wait and see?
She turned to look at Ling Xiaoxiao. The two of them had the same idea. To make the show more exciting, Ling Xiaoxiao told the bodyguards to stand farther away.
Hu Mingen had never encountered such a situation before. He patiently waited with them.
The scene fell silent for a short while, but the on - lookers didn't decrease. Instead, more and more people gathered. Some of those who enjoyed watching a good show even started recording with their phones.
It didn't take long before a Porsche pulled up by the roadside. An elegantly dressed woman got out of the car.
At first glance, she seemed to have some grace, provided one ignored the anger and arrogance on her face.
"Who dares to bully my daughter?!" Mrs. Wang shouted angrily. As she spoke, she haughtily scanned the crowd, as if no one was worthy of her attention.
With her backer here, Wang Yue was full of energy. She quickly rushed to Mrs. Wang's side and looked at her pitifully. "Mom, they bullied me with their numbers."
Forcing back her tears, Wang Yue pretended to be extremely innocent, as if she had nothing to do with anything and it was all others who were picking on her.
Under such circumstances, any parent with a bit of sense would ask for the details before saying anything. But Mrs. Wang didn't play by the rules.
Following her daughter's gaze, Mrs. Wang sized up Shen Nanyi and Ling Xiaoxiao from head to toe. She didn't recognize any of the brands on their clothes, and the contempt in her eyes grew stronger.
"You two dare to bully my daughter? Do you know who we are?" Sure enough, mother and daughter even had the same tone of voice.
Shen Nanyi just wanted to clap her hands after hearing this. It seemed that not only the daughter had watched too many cheesy TV dramas, but the mother must have watched a lot too.
"Who?" Shen Nanyi asked quite cooperatively. She really wanted to know which family could raise such an extraordinary pair.
Hu Mingen, with his age and rich life experience, just calmly watched the performance of Wang Yue and her mother.
People with such upbringing couldn't be of any high - class.
"Have you heard of the Ji Group in China?" When it came to her family background, Mrs. Wang's expression became even more proud.
After hearing the words "Ji Group", Ji Beichuan twitched the corner of his mouth. He looked at the people in front of him seriously. He didn't seem to know these two in his memory.
Shen Nanyi subconsciously glanced at Ji Beichuan. Seeing the confusion on his face, Shen Nanyi tried hard to hold back her laughter and asked again, "Which Ji Group? Is it the leading enterprise in the domestic real - estate industry?"
When she spoke again, Shen Nanyi was already struggling to hold back. It was really not easy to pretend to be serious.
Since Mrs. Wang mentioned the Ji Group, Ling Xiaoxiao couldn't control her expression at all. She had never seen anyone so eager to dig their own grave.
"You're quite knowledgeable. Our company is a leading enterprise in China and very famous!" Mrs. Wang loved the admiring looks from others. She involuntarily raised her head.
"May I take the liberty to ask, what's your relationship with the Ji Group? Such a big group is really amazing." With her little face flushed red from holding back, Shen Nanyi really couldn't hold it in any longer.
What an extraordinary pair! She had really broadened her horizons today. For some reason, she really wanted to see Ji Beichuan's expression, preferably up close. The distance was too far now.
In the night, Shen Nanyi naturally couldn't see that when she blindly praised the Ji Group, Ji Beichuan's ears turned slightly red.
"I'm the cousin of Mrs. Ji!" Mrs. Wang deliberately emphasized the word "cousin". She was already expecting to hear the envious exclamations from those around her.
No matter when, as long as she revealed this identity, people around would surely envy her. She was used to this feeling.
At first, Ji Beichuan just wanted to watch the show. Someone pretending to be related to the Ji family had nothing to do with him. Since Shen Nanyi wanted to play, he would just watch. But when he heard the words "Mrs. Ji", the air around him instantly turned cold.
"Scared, aren't you? Everyone knows that Mrs. Ji and President Ji are very much in love. Not long ago, President Ji bought a sky - high diamond for Mrs. Ji at an auction." Mrs. Wang didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said. She continued speaking. Judging from her expression, one might think the diamond was bought for her.
As she listened, Shen Nanyi gradually felt something was wrong. She turned to look at Ji Beichuan and silently mourned for Mrs. Wang in her heart.
If she remembered correctly, Ji Beichuan's mother had passed away for many years. So the Mrs. Ji that Mrs. Wang was talking about could only be one person.
"She's been dead for several years. How could she attend an auction?" Mrs. Ji was a taboo for Ji Beichuan. Without thinking, he stepped in.
Ji Beichuan suddenly spoke, and several people on the scene were a bit stunned. Looking at Ji Beichuan, Mrs. Wang thought he looked familiar.
Ji Beichuan didn't care about that. He took out his phone and called his father, Ji Jiale.
"I've met someone who claims to be the cousin of Mrs. Ji. She said she attended the recent auction with Mrs. Ji. When did my mom come back from the dead? How come I don't know? Or did you remarry? It's too low - key for the president of the Ji Group to remarry." As soon as the call was connected, Ji Beichuan spoke in a sarcastic tone without giving Ji Jiale any face.
The people on the scene were a bit confused. They could understand every word, but when put together, they seemed to not understand at all.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then a voice came through. Ji Beichuan had the phone on speaker, and those close by could hear clearly: "Ji Beichuan! Are you deliberately trying to anger me?! Your mother has been dead for so many years. I've said there's only one Mrs. Ji!"
The voice on the other end was a bit angry, but this didn't stop the people on the scene from understanding the meaning.
Mrs. Wang just felt her face burning. She didn't know what to say to refute. She was so used to using this identity to throw her weight around that she never thought she would be exposed one day.
But Ji Beichuan wasn't going to let Mrs. Wang off easily. Holding the phone in one hand, he spoke again, "Oh, I see. Do you want to double - check if she's a relative on your side? After all, she's quite sure. Maybe you've forgotten?"
Hearing this, Shen Nanyi couldn't help but give Ji Beichuan a mental thumbs - up. Look, how good he was at speaking.
