After finding out that old madam Shen has not given her initial plan to adopt her, Ji Shan was ecstatic. However, she did not show it on her face and asked, ” But third uncle said——”
” Don’t listen to your third uncle at all!” snapped Old madam Shen with a dark face. ” He was just saying those things in the heat of the moment, he didn’t mean it at all.”
Shen Tian: “…..” No, I did mean it and I am still firm on what I said!
Ji Shan was overjoyed, but she still anxiously said, ” Grandma, I don’t want to make things difficult for you.”
” Silly girl,” said Old madam Shen dotingly as she patted her cheek. ” Don’t worry, you are not making things difficult for me. I am still the matriarch of this house, I believe that I can still make these small decisions as to whether or not I can adopt someone or not. Even if they don’t dote on you, so what I will still dote on you.” Then she slid off Ji Shan’s bed and smiled. ” I will cook something for you, you have not eaten grandma’s cooking right? Let me make something for you.”
And for the first time in these months, Shen Tian smiled. His mother was a great businesswoman but her cooking—— heh, this Ji Shan was in a tough ride.
But before he could smile properly, Old madam Shen glared at him and jutted her chin out. ” And you come with me.”
Shen Tian sighed and followed after his mother while Ji Shan’s unsettled heart finally calmed down before she peered out of the room and looked at her grandfather as she hurriedly said, ” Now grandfather listen to me carefully.” Then she told him about Shen Junxi and Shen Zizhen being close to a woman in the temple.
” You mean to say that girl could be Su Wan?” asked Uncle Ji as his face turned solemn. If Shen Junxi and Shen Zizhen were able to convince Su Wan to come with them, then it will be troublesome. Though he has confounded Old madam Shen into believing that she was dying and make her adopt Ji Shan, blood was after all blood, if Su Wan was to return then no matter what how disappointed Old madam Shen was because of the way Su Wan acted when she went to take her back home, she will still accept her.
After all, blood was thicker than water wasn’t it?
” I don’t know whether or not that woman is Su Wan or not, but what I do know is that her eyes were just like Aunt Shui,” said Ji Shan as she remembered how hard it was for her to stop Old madam Shen from looking at Su Wan carefully. It was a good thing that she broke her near sighted glasses that Shen Tian has imported from the south, or else she would have found out that the girl’s eyes were just like Shen Shui. If she took a few more glances at her. “It could be that they really found that Su Wan or it could be that they found a replacement just like you, and if I am not wrong they will definitely introduce her to the old madam Shen very soon, it will be better if you take care of her before that happens.”
Ji Shan didn’t care whether the woman she saw in the temple was really Su Wan or an innocent by passer, to her she was a woman who was a threat to her position and what was more she was pregnant! If she was to come to the Shen mansion where will she put her foot? Wouldn’t she be kicked out before she could even enjoy her time here? What will happen to her fancy wedding and the beautiful and lavish lifestyle she has dreamed of?
In this situation, it was best for her to take care of that woman and make it impossible for the Shen family to find her for the rest of their lives.
This was why she told her grandfather about that woman, she knew that unlike her—- her grandfather has the resources to kill that woman. If her grandfather succeeded, then she wouldn’t have to worry about anything, even if he was caught, she could always clear herself from him and say that she didn’t know anything.
And in case her grandfather succeeded then it would be for the best, after that woman dies then no matter what Shen Junxi and Shen Zizhen did, they wouldn’t be able to resurrect the dead, will they?
Since ancient times it was believed that even the devil didn’t harm a pregnant woman—— yet Ji Shan was willing to kill Su Wan who was pregnant despite not having a clue about her identity. So, what did it make her?
————————
At the Lin house, everyone finished eating their dinner and went back to sleep. The men who were sent by Uncle Ji stopped hiding and checked the periphery before they started dousing the entire Lin house with kerosene. Though Ji Shan wanted to kill Su Wan, she only wanted to kill her alone and didn’t think of harming anyone, yet who was Uncle Ji? He was Ji Shan’s grandfather.
He was two steps ahead of her in terms of cruelty. He was worried that if they were to hurt only Su Wan then things might get troublesome. After all, it wasn’t hard for him to find out about Su Wan after he spent the money from the’ Shen family’ and hired to kill the true granddaughter of the ‘ Shen family’ from the money that he received from the ‘ Shen family’ itself.
That was why he came up with the plan of burning the house and everyone inside to make sure there was no one to tell any tale!
