Chapter 603 You will get nothing from me ” Now would you like to explain to me mother, how am I supposed to let you meet Wan Wan when you are the one who indirectly paid for her death? If she was a little more but unlucky then she would have been dead and we wouldn’t be here standing in front of you, telling you about her but arranging her funeral and you would have happily adopted this girl who was behind the murder of our poor little Wan Wan. She is still so young, barely eighteen and yet she had to go through something so terrible, you tell me what right do you have to meet Wan Wan? Did you not lose that right the second your carelessness caused her to almost die?”
Shen Zizhen’s every word stuck right at Old madam Shen’s old heart, she stumbled and if not for Xu Jia holding her up, she would have passed out then and there.
After she heard what Shen Zizhen said to her, she was so furious and ashamed of her gullibility that she wanted to slap herself. Because of her, because of her foolishness, she almost killed her granddaughter just like she killed her daughter—— back then she knew that Su Bai was a jerk but she couldn’t protect her daughter and because her daughter’s temper has been always as stubborn as hers, she refused to admit that she was in the wrong for choosing that man.
Old madam Shen was also a prideful woman when she was rejected by her daughter again and again she got angry and left her on her own, she thought that when Shen Shui would no longer be able to hold on to all the wrongs that Su Bai had done to her, she will return on her own. She believed that sooner or later her daughter will learn her lesson and she would stop being stubborn but the news that she heard after six months of not hearing anything from her daughter wasn’t of her return but of her death—— because Su Bai was in a hurry to bury Shen Shui’s body, he didn’t even let them know… even at her daughter’s last moments she couldn’t see her beloved daughter’s face.
She thought that she learned her lesson but she was still the same, her stubbornness caused her granddaughter to almost dying, Old madam Shen thought that if Su Wan was happy without them then she wouldn’t force her either who would have known——
Old madam Shen turned to look at Old master Ji with deep pain and scolded in a tone that was full of disgust at the thought of that iron couldn’t become steel, ” Cousin brother, you have really done a good job ah! I thought that you were a blundering idiot but who would have expected that you were so talented in acting behind the scenes? You actually thought of so many plans and used your schemes ahead of the time against me… I don’t hate you for what you have done, a head of the family always needs to be cold and ruthless for the sake of their family but what I hate you for is the fact that you actually used my daughter’s name to fool me. You dared to touch my bottom line and that too in such an ugly way?”
Then she turned to look at Ji Shan and shook her head. ” So young but so cruel, I cannot think of anything to say to you, I just hope that God will enlighten you and show you the right path.”
Ji Shan swallowed and shook her head as she looked at Old madam Shen with a look that was full of hurt. ” Grandma, it’s my mistake but I really didn’t ask my grandfather to kill sister Wan Wan, it’s just that I mentioned to him casually that I saw a woman that looked like Auntie Shui, and I didn’t know anything after that. Maybe grandfather was worried that she will take away all the doting love that Grandma has for me, that’s why he ended up doing something so wrong. Please grandma, for my sake please forgive us.”
Old madam Shen stared fixedly at Ji Shan and felt a sense of coldness in her heart. After being exposed for doing something that was so heinous, she could still push the blame on her grandfather and even come up with several excuses so calmly. No matter what kind of man Old master Ji was he was still her biological grandfather and yet she didn’t feel any ounce of guilt and shame at all while making him, her scapegoat. She had really raised an ungrateful and vicious person in her house, ah! These few months she has treated this girl so well and given her everything she could, no wonder this little girl ended up becoming too ambitious and greedy.
Ji Shan hastily added, ” Although we don’t have any blood relationship grandma, I do have very deep feelings for you, if I wasn’t threatened by the Ji family, I would have treated you with all my heart. Grandma, I beg you, please save me —— I promise that without the Ji family behind my back, I will definitely be filial to you——”
With a voice that was filled with disappointment as heavy as a sinking ship, Old madam Shen interjected. ” You are right, we do not have any biological relationship, Your surname is not Shen but Ji and thus everything that belongs to the Shen family has nothing to do with you! You should have been very clear about this!”
Ji Shan calm expression finally shattered as she stammered with a pale face, ” Grandma, I .. didn’t I say that I have nothing to do with this? It’s because I was forced… I never had such wishful thinking, not at all…”
”It’s good that you didn’t have any thoughts like this and it was all Ji family behind it because now you won’t be hurt after finding out that you will not get an ounce of anything from the Shen family anymore! Wan Wan is my granddaughter and on account of that all alone, she will get everything that’s under my name!”
