Chapter 1557: Writing a Guarantee Letter is for Your Own Good

After buying clothes and walking around, I was hungry again, so I found another Michelin restaurant to continue eating.

"Xuanxuan, what do you want to eat? Order whatever you like."

Ji Yingjie generously handed over the menu, but Shi Youxuan did not make an exorbitant demand as she had just done.

"Let's just eat a little something, anything is fine."

Shi Youxuan did not order food, but instead asked the waiter for paper and a pen, and began writing something on it earnestly.

"What are you writing?" Ji Yingjie stretched her neck to look.

"You aren't allowed to look, anyway you aren't allowed to look right now." Like a child afraid of having their homework copied, she covered it with her hand.

"Yo, keeping secrets? Fine, if you won't let me look then I won't, if you won't let me see then forget it, I'm not curious at all..."

Although she said she wasn't curious, Ji Yingjie's eyes kept glancing forward, and her curiosity was impossible to block.

Ten minutes later.

After finishing, Shi Youxuan handed the paper to her aunt: "Sign it."

"What is this that you're making me sign?" Ji Yingjie was quite alert.

She didn't sign it immediately, but picked it up to read it carefully, and once she saw it, she wasn't having it!

"Slap!"

The notebook was slammed onto the table, and Ji Yingjie looked indignant: "Shi Youxuan, you've gone too far, you can't cheat people like this."

"You already scammed me out of over a million just now, and it's still not over?"

Just now, spending over a million on food, clothes, and jewelry hadn't made her frown even once, but now that she was asked to sign a paper, she started protesting!

Shi Youxuan said: "Once you sign the Guarantee Letter, this matter is finished. I won't eat and drink your things for nothing; I'm giving you a free Guarantee Letter now to supervise you a little."

"Forget it, I don't need it."

Are you kidding? Was she so full and bored that she had nothing better to do?

This Guarantee Letter was densely packed with many rules and regulations, all of which were meant to constrain her future course of action.

Wouldn't it be better for Ji Yingjie to be the one in charge?

Why would she look for trouble for herself?

She refused to sign no matter what; even if her niece talked until the flowers bloomed, she could not sign this!

Shi Youxuan didn't waste words either, saying directly: "Fine, you don't have to sign, but don't think about being the president for long either."

Ji Yingjie laughed: "Don't try to scare me, do you think I just arrived in Jiangzhou today?"

"Anyone in Jiangzhou with even a little status knows that the position of president is a hot potato; no one wants it except me, otherwise it wouldn't have fallen into the hands of a foreigner like me. Do you think what I'm saying makes sense?"

Of course it made sense.

Shi Youxuan leaned forward and smiled slightly: "Aunt, you seem to have forgotten one person."

"If I run against you, how long do you think you can sit in this position?"

Ji Yingjie stopped laughing.

This was a giveaway question; if her niece intervened, everything she had done before would be useless!

"Don't mess around."

She feigned relaxation and patted her niece's hand: "Your husband has already retired to the second line, you should just follow him and be a devoted wife, why come out to be some president? You aren't like me, born with a life of toil."

"As for me, I can't stay idle; I'm terrified that if I stay idle, my blood will become viscous."

"I'm getting old and need to exercise, but you don't need to. You were born with a good life and can enjoy blessings at home for a lifetime, so just keep enjoying your blessings."

It sounded better than it was sung, and Shi Youxuan wanted to say, "I believe you, you ghost."

More talk was useless; her aunt wouldn't shed tears until she saw the coffin.

Shi Youxuan said: "Just give me a straight answer, do you agree or not? If you don't agree, then just wait to compete with me."

"Let's discuss this again, make an exception..."

"There's nothing to discuss, it's a one-sentence matter, hurry up."

"I agree, won't that do if I agree?"

Ji Yingjie had no choice, so she picked up the Hallucinogenic Pen and signed it unwillingly.

"Done!"

Shi Youxuan's face bloomed with a smile. She put away the paper and urged her aunt: "You are not allowed to act recklessly in the future. If I find you violating even one rule, you will have to accept punishment."

"Nagging, eat it yourself, I'm full of anger." Ji Yingjie stood up and left.

Had she known this would be the result, why had she bothered buttering up her niece just now?

It turned out that all her fawning and catering for so long had been in vain.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and when she got home, everything looked displeasing to her.

Ji Yingjie threw a tantrum at her husband: "You say you raised her for so many years, how come she didn't learn a single bit of your temperament and character? You are honest and kind, yet she is so treacherous. Even if there is no blood relationship, there should be some similarities. Your upbringing is truly a failure."

Shi Yucheng initially thought his wife was talking about their eldest daughter, but later, when she mentioned there was no blood relationship, he realized she was talking about his second daughter!

"What's wrong? Did Xuanxuan provoke you again? You look like you've eaten gunpowder, full of explosive temper!"

"Hmph! Who else could it be besides her? This heartless Shi Youxuan, she's gone too far..."

Shi Yucheng was full of interest and sat in front of his wife: "How did Xuanxuan make you angry again? Tell me about it, let me be happy."

"Get lost."

She lifted her leg to kick him, but ended up missing and nearly spraining her waist.

"Alright, you're kicking people with those old arms and legs, do you still think you're in your youth? People, you have to admit when you're old, you can't refuse to admit it."

"You're the one who's old, you old immortal, you father and daughter are both equally treacherous. I must have been blind to have chosen you back then."

Ji Yingjie was in a bad mood and found everyone displeasing.

But she still told her husband what had happened today. When Shi Yucheng learned that his second daughter had forced his wife to sign the Guarantee Letter, he couldn't help but shout: "Xuanxuan did the right thing, she is still the smart one. I really didn't raise this daughter in vain; she is exactly like your sister, much smarter than you."

Ji Yingjie:...

From her husband's exuberant expression, she sensed something meaningful!

"Shi Yucheng, what do you mean by that? Why do you always bring up my sister in front of me? Tell me, did you have a crush on my sister when you were young?"

Shi Yucheng's face instantly flushed red, his complexion turning crimson, and his gaze darted away: "Don't talk nonsense. At our age, you're still acting so frivolous; the more you talk, the more outrageous you get."

He lifted his foot and walked away.

"Hey, don't walk away! Are you feeling guilty?"

"You explain yourself to me! If this isn't cleared up, we aren't finished..." Ji Yingjie got to the bottom of it; she had already freed herself from the unhappiness of the Guarantee Letter and now only wanted to get this matter clear.

But Shi Yucheng just wouldn't tell her; no matter how she asked, he wouldn't say a word, just like a gourd with its mouth sawed shut, his lips sealed tight.

Anyway, if asked, he would say no; if asked again, he would stop talking. No matter how many tricks you have, I have one constant rule!

Ji Yingjie tried every method she could think of, but in the end, it was left unsettled.

Shi Youxuan was afraid her aunt would do something out of line, which was why she made her sign the Guarantee Letter, but trouble still arose very quickly.

Ji Yingjie had managed the Ji Family for many years, forming a patriarchal style of doing things, where her word was final.

Once a style of doing things is formed, it easily becomes a habit that cannot be changed just by saying so. It was fine for her own company, where she had the final say and others wouldn't have any objections.

But it wouldn't work as Chamber of Commerce President. The Chamber of Commerce is where everyone gets together to discuss things and work together; if she wants to be a dictator, people will have objections.
