574 I Wish Madam All the Best
“Grandma, look, Sis is going to hit me!” Ji Mo hid behind his grandmother. He taunted, “I was just telling the truth, but she wants to hit me!”
Grandma had a kind smile on her face as she watched Ji Qian and Ji Mo fooling around.
“How childish,” Ji Zhou glanced at Ji Mo and Ji Qian as he said that. He gave the apple slices to his grandmother and said, “Grandma, have some fruit.”
Grandma picked up a fork and gave Ji Zhou a slice of apple. She said, “Ji Zhou, you should eat too.”
In the midst of the laughter, Ji Yan’s gaze fell on Shen Hanxing. He said with a smile, “Congratulations, my wife.”
Shen Hanxing was taken aback, but she laughed, “It’s not even done yet. Why did you congratulate me?”
“You will succeed in whatever you want to do. I wish you a victory and all the best,” Ji Yan said with certainty. Even if she didn’t, he would make it happen!
Shen Hanxing’s smile deepened and she held Ji Yan’s hand. She said, “Then, I’ll accept your wishes. Thank you.”
Qiao Xi who was sitting at the side, felt a little restrained. Her eyelashes trembled slightly as she sighed. She couldn’t understand what Shen Hanxing and Ji Yan were talking about. She couldn’t fit into the lively atmosphere of the Ji family too. However, she did not want to leave the living room and return to her room alone. She sat on the sofa and looked at the scene with envy.
With the news of Lu Shaoyang and Su Ling’s marriage, the stock prices of the Lu and Su families soared. The marriage between the two families brought more benefits. The marriage had been arranged since they were young, and both companies had cooperated very well throughout the project. The marriage only tightened the bonds between the two families. However, the shareholders and outsiders did not know about it. In the eyes of others, it was just a sudden marriage.
As the stock price soared, Lu Guo was very pleased. he looked at Lu Shaoyang who had been listless since the engagement party. He said with a smile, “Shaoyang, why don’t you join the company as an intern? It’ll be easier for you to take over the company in the future.”
Mrs. Lu was happy but worried at the same time. “Can he enter the company now? Isn’t he a little too young? He hasn’t even graduated from university.”
“When Ji Yan was Shaoyang’s age, he had already led Ji Corporation and made the company great. The company’s earnings had doubled.” Lu Guo frowned subconsciously. Ji Yan entered Ji Corporation when he was 19 years old. He turned the tide when the company was on the verge of collapse. Not only did he bring Ji Corporation back to life, but he also made it grow rapidly. Many people were envious of him and hoped that their family could have a young heir as outstanding as Ji Yan. Unfortunately, geniuses were in the minority. No one could be a match for Ji Yan.
Lu Guo sighed and said helplessly, “I don’t expect Shaoyang to be like Ji Yan. I only want him to join the company earlier. I’d be happy as long as he can share a bit of my burden.”
“What’s so great about Ji Yan?” Hearing his name, Lu Shaoyang’s eyes turned dark. He said impatiently, “He is just backed by the Ji Corporation. If he started from scratch, would he have achieved this by now?”
“You know nothing!” Hearing Lu Shaoyang’s words, Lu Guo said angrily, “If you’re even the slightest bit as good as Ji Yan, I’ll be so thankful to God!”
“Shaoyang is your son. Why are you praising others and criticizing your own son?” Mrs. Lu replied angrily. Lu Shaoyang was perfect to her. She continued, “Shaoyang hasn’t even entered the company yet, so don’t discourage him. Besides, what’s there to envy about Ji Yan? When he took over Ji Corporation, he was in a miserable state.” As she spoke, Mrs. Lu realized she shouldn’t have said that. She quickly changed the topic, “In short, Shaoyang is doing well. There’s no need to compare it with Ji Yan.”
“You’re right.” Lu Guo seemed to have thought of something, and a look of fear appeared on his face. He was silent for a moment before he continued, “Shaoyang, Su Ling is pregnant with your child. After you become a parent, you should also grow up.”
Lu Shaoyang’s face darkened at the mention of marriage and having children. He was about to marry someone he didn’t love. He didn’t want to live the life he wanted. He wanted to resist, but he couldn’t. Lu Shaoyang lowered his eyes unwillingly without fighting back as he answered, “I know.”
