The butler whispered something in Ji Jiale's ear. Ji Jiale suddenly stood up, looking a bit flustered and even forgetting that Shen Qingshan was still there.
Only after standing up did Ji Jiale realize there were guests in the dining room. He tried his best to keep calm. "Mr. Shen, please wait here for a while. I have something to take care of and will be back soon."
Without giving much explanation, Ji Jiale rushed out in a hurry with the butler, indicating that the matter was rather thorny.
Before going out, Ji Jiale gave Ji Beichuan a look. Then Ji Beichuan found an excuse and went upstairs. Only Shen Qingshan and his granddaughter were left in the living - room.
Shen Nanyi always felt that there was something strange about Ji Jiale.
She exchanged a glance with Shen Qingshan. Without saying much, the grandfather - granddaughter duo, very much in sync, followed them out.
They should be thankful that there were not many servants in the Ji family, so no one noticed when Shen Qingshan and Shen Nanyi left.
Shen Qingshan used to live in this neighborhood, so he was very familiar with the surrounding facilities. He led Shen Nanyi through another path to the corner of the Ji family's villa.
From this angle, they could clearly see what was going on at the door of the Ji family's villa. If the noise was loud enough, they could even hear the voices.
Even Shen Qingshan himself would find it hard to believe that one day he would be eavesdropping.
A shocking scene appeared. Ji Beichuan showed up at the door of the Ji family again. Dressed in a gray suit, he was blocked by the servants of the Ji family.
Ji Beichuan seemed to want to go in, but the servants wouldn't let him. The two sides were at a stalemate.
Shen Nanyi and Shen Qingshan looked at each other, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes. They had no idea what was going on.
If they remembered correctly, Ji Beichuan was just inside the villa. How could he come out so quickly and change his clothes?
Not caring about their image at all, Shen Nanyi and Shen Qingshan leaned forward as much as possible. Squatting half - way at the corner, they pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
Ji Jiale and Ji Beichuan were standing at the door. There seemed to be a bit of guilt on Ji Jiale's face.
"You can't go in now. Mr. Shen and his granddaughter are here." Sighing, Ji Jiale spoke, not daring to meet Ji Beichuan's gaze directly.
He really felt guilty and a bit in awe of this son.
Ji Beichuan's expression was normal at first, but when he heard the words "Mr. Shen", he suddenly looked up and stared straight at Ji Jiale. There was undisguised sarcasm in his eyes.
"This is a special situation. He will leave the country soon after staying here for a while." Every time Ji Beichuan looked at him like this, Ji Jiale felt his heart beat faster.
But he had no other choice now. The trouble had already arisen, and he could only find a way to solve it. If he let Ji Beichuan in at this moment, things would really get out of control.
"I told you in advance that I don't want to see Wu Fang again. I also said that if she appears in the country and in my sight, you'll bear the consequences. Have you forgotten my words?" Ji Beichuan said in a deep voice. When talking to Ji Jiale, he didn't act like a junior at all. Instead, in some ways, he seemed to be superior to Ji Jiale.
"After all, you're related by blood. I guarantee she will leave in a few days." Ji Jiale didn't dare to refute even though his son was talking to him like this.
"If you can't handle it, I can help you. Since you're old, you'd better stay at home and enjoy your retirement." Before coming, Ji Beichuan had made up his mind that no matter what Ji Jiale said, he would solve the problem.
Even if Ji Jiale was standing right there, Ji Beichuan didn't intend to back down.
Taking three steps in two, Ji Beichuan was about to break in directly.
It would be better to solve some things now. If he procrastinated and missed something, he might regret it for the rest of his life.
After trying to persuade Ji Beichuan nicely for a few words, Ji Jiale gradually got impatient. "I just told you that she will leave in a few days and won't cause you any trouble. Do you really want to fall out with the family?!"
As an elder and a person used to being flattered outside, Ji Jiale couldn't stand such a sudden change. His tone became harsher.
He thought this would make Ji Beichuan feel afraid, but unexpectedly, his words made Ji Beichuan despise him even more.
"I've given you a chance. If you still want others to respect you as Mr. Ji, I advise you to let me handle this." Pushing Ji Jiale aside, Ji Beichuan walked straight in. No one dared to stop him.
"Mr. Shen is inside. Aren't you afraid that Mr. Shen will find out? The Shen family only has this precious granddaughter. If the Shen family knows about all the mess in our family, do you think Mr. Shen will still marry his precious granddaughter to you?"
Standing behind Ji Beichuan, Ji Jiale spoke in a rather loud voice.
Ji Beichuan stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Ji Jiale. His gaze seemed to freeze people into ice.
"I've told you to trust me. I'll send her away in a few days. You don't want to miss the young lady of the Shen family, do you?" As if he had grasped Ji Beichuan's weakness, Ji Jiale's attitude became much tougher.
Ji Beichuan had no weakness before, so Ji Jiale was in awe of him. But now it was different. Ji Beichuan had his own weakness, and as long as a person had a weakness, it was easy to control them.
Hearing this, Shen Nanyi, who had been eavesdropping at the corner, couldn't bear it any longer. She rushed out directly and stood in front of Ji Beichuan.
Although she hadn't talked to this person yet, she was sure that this was the real Ji Beichuan.
"Whatever happens in the Ji family has nothing to do with him." Shen Nanyi firmly stood in front of Ji Beichuan like a little lion.
If you looked closely, you could see that there was full of pity in Shen Nanyi's eyes.
No one expected Shen Nanyi to suddenly appear. Ji Jiale felt a bit embarrassed and looked at Shen Qingshan beside him.
"I didn't want to tell you about this at first, but since you've seen it, Mr. Shen, let's talk about the affairs of the Ji family." Driven by some unknown psychology, Ji Jiale suddenly felt that he wanted to ruin Ji Beichuan. Even if he couldn't take back the Ji Corporation from Ji Beichuan, at least he could make Ji Beichuan lose the most precious thing.
He was absolutely confident that after Mr. Shen knew about all the mess in the Ji family, he would never let Shen Nanyi have any more contact with Ji Beichuan.
Although Ji Beichuan didn't say a word, he was very nervous and his hands were tightly clenched.
He had made up his mind before coming, but when he saw Shen Nanyi, he hesitated. Especially with Mr. Shen here, he didn't know what Mr. Shen's attitude would be after knowing this.
"Sorry, I don't want to hear it." Under the gazes of several people, Shen Qingshan spoke. He slowly walked in front of Ji Beichuan and blocked Ji Beichuan behind him.
This simple action made Ji Beichuan's eyes a bit moist, and it made Ji Jiale feel as if he had misheard.
