Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 590 How unsightly

While Old master Ji was thinking about this and that, Ji Shan arrived at the banquet hall with Shen Tian. She was wearing a glorious dress that was sewed and embroidered by the number one seamstress in the capital, with pieces of jewellery that caused women to roll with envy and even her face which was only above average looked a bit more pretty and alluring than usual. She was smiling and looking at the guests with a charming grin on her face but next to her Shen Tian was a completely stony expression, he wasn't willing to be Ji Shan's escort but his mother threw a tantrum and said that she will not drink her medicine if he didn't at least give her and Ji Shan this much.

Shen Tian tried long and hard to refuse but then his mother skipped dinner last night and she even refused to eat breakfast calling him an unfilial bastard once in a while. At the end under his mother's pressure, Shen Tian had to agree to be Ji Shan's escort though he was not happy about it at all.

Of course, Ji Shan noticed it too but she didn't show it on her face, tonight she was going to be accepted in the Shen family no matter what, no matter how hard her third uncle sulked and ignored her, the reality will not change and over time he too would have to accept her, after all, if old madam Shen were to die, she would still be considered the Shen family's daughter and with just this relationship alone the Shen uncles would have to take care of her.

So, she didn't even care about the sulky pout that was decorating her cold-faced third uncle and simply walked inside the banquet hall with a grace pace.

The others noticed her elegant movements and the expensive jewellery and clothing that she was wearing and couldn't help but feel awed. This … This was too much, they thought that it was a rumour when they found out that old madam Shen doted on her adoptive granddaughter the most but now that they were seeing it with their own eyes, they have to admit that the Ji family's daughter was one really lucky girl.

Shen Tian ignored the heated looks the others were shooting his way and let go of Ji Shan's hand as soon as they came to the centre of the banquet hall. When Ji Shan saw how coldly Shen Tian let go of her hand without saying a word, her lips twitched.

Just wait, she inwardly thought. ' I will definitely tattle about your attitude to grandma!'

While she was thinking about how she was going to complain about Shen Tian to Old madam Shen, her sisters from the Ji family came to greet her. All of them had the same envious expression and they looked thoroughly upset with the dress and pieces of jewellery that Ji Shan was wearing, they were clearly from the same family so why was it that Ji Shan could wear these expensive clothes and they couldn't.

The eldest daughter of the Ji family was the one who was the most upset with her grandfather's decision, clearly, she too looked a bit similar to Shen Shui given that she was the one whose branch was closest to Old madam Shen's branch yet that old man actually played favourites and sent Ji Shan who was his granddaughter and not her! When she was the one who needed it the most, her parents were dead and she was an orphan though she was the eldest miss of the Ji family, she wasn't taken seriously by anyone.

" Second sister, you look really beautiful," said the eldest Ji miss as she enviously looked at the clothes that Ji Shan was wearing, when was the last time she saw such a smooth fabric?

" I do?" Even though Ji Shan knew that she looked the prettiest among all of the Ji sisters she still spoke with an air of naivety but in fact, she was boasting as she patted her sleeves to wipe the non-existent dust. " It was actually grandma who asked me to wear such an expensive dress, I told her that there was no need for spending so much money but she insisted, so I had no choice but to accept the gifts that she has given to me. I hope that it's not too much, I don't want to stick out too much, you know how shy I am right?"

The Ji sisters heard Ji Shan's boasting and suddenly felt bad for themselves. But in the end, they still had to suck up and flatter Ji Shan, since this was something that their parents asked them to do, Ji Shan was no longer the easy target they could bully they had to make it up to her and ask for forgiveness for their atrocities.

Ji Shan didn't pay them much attention instead she greeted the young ladies of the rich families who came to congratulate her.

As she got closer to them, Ji Shan couldn't help but think that she was dreaming. Before this, she never thought that she will be able to get close to the ladies of this social circle but somehow she was now the star of the party and these missuses who never looked in her way twice were actually trying to butter up!

This was just so great, she knew that money was a great thing but she never thought that it was such an incredible thing!

"Mother, will that bad sister really become my cousin? I don't want to accept her." The young master of the third branch of the Shen family immediately pouted grievously. " I don't like her!"

" Mother doesn't like her either, Beichuan," said Xu Jia as she unhappily looked at Ji Shan who was acting like some big shot —— no class and zero elegance.
