=Shen Hanxing and Ji Yan looked at each other. Wasn’t this like giving a pillow to someone who was dozing off?

She took the invitation and smiled. “Mr. Ji is not feeling well, so I’ll bring your siblings and attend this banquet on your behalf.”

When Ji Yan was in power, the Zhuang family, Ji family, and Wei family stood on top, holding up the sky in S city.

The Zhuang family’s old master had high status and a lot of power, so no one would refuse his invitation. However, Ji Yan was currently indisposed, so it was reasonable for the newly married Mrs. Ji to attend on his behalf with his siblings.

Ji Yan could also use this banquet as a cover and get his surgery.

Chen Liang, “...”

Why did he feel that this husband and wife duo were becoming more and more in sync? One look was enough to know what the other party was thinking?

“Sir.”

Chen Liang took note of this arrangement and then said, “Dr. Liu Zhibai came over today and raised several questions regarding your legs. He even said that he would come over tonight for a follow-up.”

After a pause, he added, “When Dr. Liu heard that you went out with your wife, his expression kept changing. He even reminded me to let you take your medicine regularly.”

Ji Yan’s gaze turned cold. “Take my medicine? I think he wants me to die sooner.”

“It seems that the people behind the scenes noticed Mr. Ji’s recent changes. He’s getting impatient.” Shen Hanxing smiled slightly. “However, when a dog becomes anxious, it will jump over a wall and give itself away...”

Not long after, Liu Zhibai quickly came to the villa for a follow-up.

After the examination, he took out the bottle again and reminded Ji Yan to take the medicine on time. Ji Yan nodded silently, poured out a few pills, and swallowed them with water.

Seeing him take the medicine with his own eyes, Liu Zhibai finally heaved a sigh of relief. After repeatedly reminding Ji Yan to take the medicine on time to alleviate the pain, he carried his medicine box and left in a hurry.

Three days later.

Early in the morning, the Ji family villa was bustling with activity. The top styling team working for the Ji Corporation came to give Shen Hanxing and the others a makeover.

Shen Hanxing heard that the famous violin master Lin Ran would be performing during this banquet and even heard that he intended to take a disciple.

As her thoughts wandered, Ji Ning poked her head in from behind the door. Her deer-like eyes were filled with amazement. “Sister-in-law, you’re so beautiful!”

Shen Hanxing smiled slightly and pulled the timid little princess, who was hiding behind the door, into the room. “Our Xiao Ning is also very beautiful, just like a little princess in fairy tales.”

Ji Ning wore a short white gown. The stylist combed up her bangs, which usually covered her forehead, revealing her smooth and full forehead.

The timid look in her eyes made her look like a little princess who did not know the affairs of the world. It made people feel a sense of adoration for her.

Hearing Shen Hanxing’s praise, Ji Ning’s little face flushed red. Her hands gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, not knowing what to do. She never attended banquets. She was too afraid of the crowd. In the past, when there were banquets at home, she would lock herself in her room.

But this time, because her sister-in-law would be there, she suddenly wanted to attend...As long as her sister-in-law was there, she would have endless courage.

Shen Hanxing led her downstairs. Ji Yan was sitting on the sofa in the living room when he heard their footsteps. He looked up.

The shiny fishtail dress wrapped around Shen Hanxing’s exquisite figure. Her waist was so slender that he grab it with one hand. The sweetheart neckline showcased her beautiful collarbone. Her shoulder and neck were so attractive that people could not take their eyes off her.

As she walked, the tail of the dress swayed, like a mermaid jumping out of the sea. Her every move was romantic and easily captured the hearts of others.

Ji Yan stared straight at her, and all he could think was, ‘I want to hide her away, I don’t want others to see her so beautiful and stunning.’

The moment he sensed the thoughts in his mind, Ji Yan curled his fingers as if he was scalded.

Ji Yang’s eyes widened in surprise. “Sister-in-law, you look so beautiful today!” After saying that, he grumbled unhappily again, “The people attending the banquet are lucky to be able to see such a rare beauty like you.”

The news of his big brother marrying a wife who came from a poor area spread throughout the upper-class society. They ridiculed his big brother and looked down on his sister-in-law.

It was a pity that their eyes were blinded by money and could not see how good his sister-in-law was. His sister-in-law was a thousand times better than those so-called socialites!

“Second brother and third brother, don’t get excited.” Ji Mo, who still had to go to school today, looked at them in dissatisfaction. Why did his brothers and sisters allowed to go to the banquet with his sister-in-law, but he had to go to school?

The dark emotions in his heart spread freely, but he smiled obediently. “It’s sister-in-law’s first time attending such a banquet. There must be a lot of people waiting to laugh at her. You have to protect her.”
