Chapter 824: The Sins Not Yet Committed, Let's Pay Some Interest

"Little Aunt, let's go back, my stomach feels a bit uncomfortable."

Shi Youxuan used her stomach as an excuse, preparing to take her Little Aunt away.

Ji Yingjie did not fall for it: "If you want to leave, go ahead, I'm staying."

Shi Youxuan:...

She didn't leave, and could only stay to keep her company.

Jian Yixin received a signal from Shi Youxuan, and the two of them sandwiched Ji Yingjie in the middle; in the name of hosting a guest from afar, they were actually supervising her.

The newlyweds came over to offer a toast.

Shi Youxuan waved her hand quietly under the table, signaling that this table didn't need to be bothered and they should go toast other tables.

However, the two newlyweds didn't notice, but Ji Yingjie did.

"What do you mean? You don't think they can just muddle through if they don't come over, do you? Debts owed must be repaid sooner or later; don't think that just because she's become a fool, you can muddle through."

Shi Youxuan: "That's enough from you, don't be so aggressive, okay? Shi Yuke has truly become a fool and will no longer pose any threat to the Ji Family, so please stop harping on it."

"Don't you tell me what to do, are you the elder or am I the elder?"

Ji Yingjie couldn't listen to a word of it.

This woman had the same attributes as a "honey badger"—tenacious and hot-tempered.

As long as you provoke her, she will hunt you down to the ends of the earth.

Regardless of the cost, regardless of the time, once she bites down, she won't let go; begging for mercy doesn't work, she must finish you off!

With a personality like this, you can't persuade her, and you can't guard against her.

The newlyweds arrived in front of them; both were somewhat reluctant, but the necessary etiquette could not be skipped.

"Thank you for attending my wedding with Yuke despite your busy schedule, I offer you a toast." Gu Zhihao picked up his wine glass and downed it in one gulp.

Normal weddings usually have a segment for teasing the bride.

But today's wedding was a bit special.

First, there were no young men or women, and second, given Shi Yuke's current intelligence, no one was teasing her.

But since Ji Yingjie was here, she had no intention of letting the newlyweds get away easily.

"Just one glass? I see from your face that you look like you can hold your liquor; if you're sincere, you should drink three."

Ji Yingjie had dressed up specially today, and she had also undergone plastic surgery on her face, making her look very young, appearing not much different in age from Gu Zhihao.

She deliberately spoke to Gu Zhihao in a coquettish tone, and while speaking, she intentionally or unintentionally brushed her chest against his arm.

Shi Youxuan and Jian Yixin tried to stop her, but couldn't.

Shi Yuke blocked them: "No, my husband can't drink too much, he'll get drunk."

"What's there to fear about getting drunk? Yuke, are you afraid it will delay your wedding night?"

"Hmm."

Shi Yuke didn't know it was a trap and answered honestly.

She asked with a malicious smile: "What do you do on a wedding night? Did you spend your own wedding nights like that too?"

Ji Yingjie had no good intentions; every word was filled with malice and calculation.

"Sister, what is a wedding night?" Shi Yuke blinked her large eyes, her expression full of innocence and confusion.

Ji Yingjie:...

Before she came, she thought Shi Yuke was faking it, but now it didn't seem like it.

"A wedding night is..." Ji Yingjie paused, trying to think of how to say it in a way that was subtle yet satisfying.

She was overbearing, but not vulgar enough to say just anything, so she was actually rendered speechless by Shi Yuke's counter-question.

Shi Yuke was very naive now, and seeing the other party silent, she took the initiative to say: "Dad said my room with Zhihao is the bridal chamber, so what exactly is a bridal chamber? Is a bridal chamber digging a hole in the room? Oh, I know, is crawling into the wardrobe called a bridal chamber?"

"That's not allowed, Dad said not to crawl into the wardrobe, the wardrobe is for clothes, Yuke isn't clothes, she's a person, you have to be in the sun to grow up pretty and be healthy!"

"And also, what is a flower-candle night? Isn't night just dark? Flower-candle night... is it a dark night with flowers and candles?"

Ji Yingjie was completely speechless.

What defeated Ji Yingjie was not Shi Yuke's naivety, but her innocence!

"Little Aunt, you've gone too far, sit down." The niece was very angry.

"Fool."

Ji Yingjie rolled her eyes, unwilling, but still finished the wine Gu Zhihao offered before sitting down.

This segment finished, and they moved on to the next person.

As the newlyweds went to toast other tables, Ji Yingjie's gaze followed Shi Yuke the whole time. Shi Youxuan tugged on her Little Aunt's sleeve: "What do you want to do by coming here this time? I won't allow you to hurt Shi Yuke again, otherwise, we will cut off our family ties."

"Let go of me, I haven't done anything." Ji Yingjie said displeased.

Shi Youxuan: "It's precisely because you haven't done anything yet that I'm saying this; once you've done it, it will be too late for me to say anything."

She turned back, her gaze filled with craftiness: "You care about me, hmm?"

Shi Youxuan didn't hold back at all, not even using honorifics: "Nonsense, of course I care about you, you are my Little Aunt, one of the people I'm closest to in this world, how could I not care about you? Hmph!"

Being given the cold shoulder by her niece, Ji Yingjie wasn't angry at all; on the contrary, she was quite happy.

She stood up to leave: "I'm giving you face today by not causing trouble at her wedding. I'm staying at the Prince Hotel in Presidential Suite A. Come find me after the wedding, I have important matters to discuss with you."

"Fine, fine, fine, I'll see you out."

Shi Youxuan wasn't interested in other matters, but it was great that she was leaving.

Once Ji Yingjie left, the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The wedding ended, and Shi Youxuan should have gone home to rest, but she had her husband take the children back while she went to the hotel to see her Little Aunt.

Sheng Hanyu felt pained: "Don't go, you're heavily pregnant and it's inconvenient, and you're very tired today, let's go home and rest."

"Just make a phone call over there to explain it, that should be enough."

He felt very sorry for his wife and was afraid Xuanxuan would get tired; in reality, he also did not want her to have much contact with Ji Yingjie.

That woman was too overbearing, and Sheng Hanyu was also an overbearing person; in a certain sense, they were the same type of person, and since like repels like, it was normal for them to not see eye to eye.

Shi Youxuan: "That won't work, I have to go. You know what her temper is like; if I don't go, there's no telling what kind of trouble she might stir up."

Sheng Hanyu:...

That was correct, it would indeed be like that.

He understood.

"I will go with you."

"You should take the children, I will go over by myself."

"Let Lao Qi take the children back, I will accompany you." He insisted, feeling uneasy.

"Alright then."

Shi Youxuan arrived at the hotel and told her husband to wait at the office; if there was a problem, he would arrive at the first opportunity.

She could not let her husband go in with her; her aunt's temper was eccentric and explosive, and if she saw Sheng Hanyu following along, she might not only say nothing but perhaps even fly into a rage on the spot.

She would feel that her niece did not trust her, so it was better not to create extra complications.

In front of the Presidential Suite.

"Ding-dong—"

She only pressed the doorbell once and it opened; a boy with exquisite makeup "whooshed" past her and ran out, giving her a fright.

Fortunately, they didn't collide.

The boy looked very young and was dressed fashionably, but he didn't look like someone who held a respectable job.

"Xuanxuan is here? Come in." Ji Yingjie's voice was filled with the languor of someone who had just been satisfied.

"Didn't you have important matters? Is this your important matter?" Shi Youxuan retorted with great disdain.

"This was just some fun I found on the side because I was bored while waiting for you." She said nonchalantly, not feeling the slightest bit embarrassed.

In Ji Yingjie's eyes, the creature known as man was merely a plaything, not worth taking to heart at all.
