Ji Wei heard these absurdities and couldn’t help but curl her lips in mockery.
Ji Yunxiang really could spout any kind of slander—she was truly unbelievable.
"Dad, there’s sothing I haven’t had the chance to tell you."
Ji Wei suddenly spoke, instinctively grabbing Gu Moqian’s hand beside her as she did so, a faint smile playing on her lips: "Actually, Moqian and I have already registered our marriage. We’re a legal couple now. In other words, Moqian is your son-in-law. I’m just puzzled—if Moqian really harbored ill intentions toward the Ji Family, why would he marry ?"
Ji Wei paused, her gaze fixed on Ji Yunxiang’s face, which was gradually turning bloodless, and continued, "Moreover, given the current strength of the Gu Family in Rongcheng, would they really need such elaborate sches to target the Ji Family? If they wanted the Ji Family to go bankrupt, they could do it with a flick of their finger."
Though Ji Wei’s words sounded rather harsh, Ji Yunli had to admit that what she said was the truth.
If Ji Wei and Gu Moqian were indeed married, it actually aligned with his wishes. At this mont, Ji Yunli’s attitude toward Gu Moqian had completely lost the fury it held earlier.
"This... this is impossible..."
Ji Yunxiang outright refused to believe what Ji Wei was saying. She grabbed Ji Yunli’s sleeve in panic, "Little Wei must be lying on purpose to cover for Mr. Gu. A marriage license is such a big deal, how could she agree to it silently without consulting the family? She’s definitely lying!"
"Auntie, would you only believe if I showed you the marriage certificate?" Ji Wei looked at Ji Yunxiang coldly.
"Impossible! I won’t believe it! Big Brother, they just don’t like . They want to kick out of the Ji Family, that’s why they deliberately set up this trap. You absolutely can’t fall for it!" Ji Yunxiang’s words had beco increasingly incoherent.
Ji Wei sneered, "In order to drive Auntie away, I almost risked my life. Do you think I’m that stupid?"
"I... I didn’t do anything! I’m being frad!" Ji Yunxiang suddenly clutched her head with both hands, her deanor appearing borderline manic.
"Mom, your illness is acting up again. Quickly, take your dicine!"
Ji Shanshan, who had been hiding in the shadows near the staircase, suddenly walked out briskly. She poured a few pills from a box she was holding and offered them to Ji Yunxiang with a glass of water.
"Shanshan, what kind of dicine are you giving your mom?" Ji Yunli asked in surprise upon seeing this.
Ji Shanshan patted Ji Yunxiang’s back and softly coaxed her like one would a child. After a while, she explained, "Uncle, my mom has been suffering from depression for a long ti. She used to be relatively stable—it wasn’t much different from how ordinary people behave. But recently, her condition has worsened, and she’s been doing bizarre things uncontrollably at tis..."
When Ji Shanshan said this, she deliberately glanced at Ji Wei, a flicker of resentnt and envy flashing in her eyes.
That wretched Ji Wei actually married Gu Moqian!
Why do they get to be together? What does Ji Wei have that she doesn’t?
"Perhaps because of this, my mom might have inadvertently hurt my cousin. I’ll apologize to my cousin on her behalf!" As she spoke, Ji Shanshan bowed deeply toward Ji Wei.
With a single claim of depression, Ji Yunxiang’s behavior was cleanly absolved. This mother-daughter duo had truly played their cards well!
Ji Wei stared coldly at Ji Shanshan, who was now performing this display of apology, her expression growing even frostier.
Ji Yunli exclaid in astonishnt, "Your mom’s condition is this serious? Why didn’t you tell sooner? Did she go to the hospital for treatnt?"
"Uncle, my mom’s illness is psychological."
Ji Shanshan replied with a bitter smile, "Ever since she divorced my dad, her mood has been unstable—she was always gloomy. I had her see a psychologist, but the doctor said this kind of illness can only be treated gradually through counseling. dication can only provide temporary relief."
