Chapter 354: Eloquent
Before dinner, Ji Jinchuan was called into the study upstairs by Ji Yangkun. The men from the side branches were playing chess in the chess room, and the women were chatting in the living room.

Today's protagonist is Shen Youran, so the topic always revolves around her. No matter what others ask, she will answer fluently and behave appropriately and gracefully.

Faced with Mrs. Shen's deliberate difficulties, she could always change the subject with clever words, but Mrs. Shen became more and more aggressive.

At first she could still bear it, but Mrs. Shen felt upset because she had just been offended by Ji Jinchuan. She wanted to vent her anger on Ji Jinchuan while Ji Jinchuan was away and save some face.

Madam Shen said sarcastically, "Miss Shen, although Jinchuan is a steady person, we have heard about his previous indulgence among women. You must keep an eye on him and don't let him mess around outside after the novelty period has passed."

Mrs. Shen's words were secretly reminding her that Ji Jinchuan had a fresh period for women, and she would most likely become a thing of the past after the fresh period.

She felt that there was no need to give in to this kind of woman who was getting more and more demanding. She was not a soft persimmon and was not easy to bully. Anyway, Ji Jinchuan was backing her up.

She had a smile on her face: "Aunt, you also said that, that was before, which man doesn't have one or two confidantes before getting married? Can I guarantee that my uncle didn't have any before he got married?"

Mrs. Shen's face froze. Shen Youran touched her pain again. That woman was a thorn in her heart, always reminding her that it was because of her that even though she married into the Shen family, her husband still didn't like her.

Shen Youran just followed her words and refuted them. Seeing her ugly expression, he guessed that he had accidentally hit the nail on the head.

Ji Jinchuan's aunt, Ms. Zhu, changed the subject: "It's boring to sit here, why don't we go play mahjong."

"Okay." Xie Suling stood up and led everyone to the mahjong room, which was next to the chess room.

Xie Suling, Ms. Zhu, and Mrs. Shen sat down. There was still one person missing. Ms. Zhu looked at Shen Youran and said, "Ms. Shen, please sit down and play a few rounds with us." Shen Youran's card skills were average. The wives of wealthy families usually played mahjong and took care of flowers, so these people's card skills should be very good. If they lost badly, it would only be embarrassing. She said, "Let Miss Xue come."

Xue Ling pulled a small stool and sat down next to Xie Suling: "You can just play, I'll just watch godmother beat you."

Helpless, Shen Youran had no choice but to go ahead and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "My card skills are average. If you dislike me later, don't blame me."

Ms. Zhu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. We are all family. Besides, the stakes are not high. If we lose, we will still have a prize..."

Her words "family" caused Xie Suling to cough slightly. Ms. Zhu smiled and did not continue speaking.

In the study.

Ji Jinchuan and Ji Yangkun stood face to face. Ji Yangkun said with a serious face: "In your eyes, do you still have me as your father?"

Ji Jinchuan leaned against the bookshelf and said nonchalantly, "If you approve of her as your daughter-in-law, the Ji family will have two more people. If you disagree, I will place them outside. I rarely go back to this house anyway, so you won't be able to hold a grandson or a granddaughter."

Ji Yangkun's face turned pale: "Are you threatening me?"
