Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 575 First meeting.

　　Ji Shan wasn’t stupid, she knew that old madam Shen wasn’t going to last long, she often complained to her that she was feeling a dull ache in her chest and there was also a secret stash of medicines in her bedroom. Though Old madam Shen looked hail and hearty the truth was that she was nothing but a hollow shell under all that temper that she showed and Ji Shan was getting worried, if she knew that the old woman was due to die soon, then she wouldn’t have focused her energy on her. 

When her grandfather sent her to the Shen house, he told her that the Old madam Shen was the one who had the highest authority in the Shen house and that was why she focused all her energy on the old woman but then she found out that the old woman was terribly sick! At first Ji Shan thought that she could still turn the tide around as long as she could entice one of her cousins but surprisingly her cousins didn’t leave at the main Shen mansion, no they actually stayed at the capital! As for the one who lived at the Shen mansion, he was too young for her to entice.

In the end, even if she didn’t like it, Ji Shan started chasing her ‘adoptive uncles’ but unfortunately for her, it was too late, she already gotten entangled in a fight with the third aunt and thus, she was no longer a ‘good girl’ in the eyes of her third uncle who was both upset and furious with her. 

She couldn’t win him over no matter what she did but now she has another opportunity as long as she wins the heart of these two uncles who lives in the capital who cares whether or not the third uncle likes her or not? He was at most a genius when it came to making medicine nothing more in the end isn’t he just a swan in the crowd of the ugly duckling? If he was that great why was he staying here in a small village and not living in the capital? Wasn’t it because he was not as good as his two brothers? 

However, Ji Shan’s hopes were doomed to fail, not only did Shen Junxi and Shen Zizhen gaze in their direction but they also didn’t acknowledge whatever she just said to them, it was as if they were treating her like air. 

Ji Shan blinked her eyes a bit stunned by their rejection of her, why was it that these uncles wouldn’t dote on her? While her adoptive grandmother treated her well and even doted on her, her uncles in particular just did not seem to like her. Why was it like this? Was it because of their niece but what was good about her? She often heard from her grandmother that Su Wan that girl kicked them out of her life and even called them murderers. 

So why were they willing to dote on her yet they were not willing to look in her direction.

The old madam was so angry that her face turned red when she saw that her sons didn’t acknowledge Ji Shan nor did they look in her direction.  She grasped Ji Shan’s wrist and pulled her away as she snapped testily ” You don’t need to look at those three idiots, if they aren’t willing to acknowledge you then there is no need for you to acknowledge them either.  Even if I am not in good health, I can still take care of you, don’t worry Shan Shan, after I pass away, I will name my will after you—— you will be able to live a comfortable life with the money that I have saved including the shops that I have under my name.”

Only then did Ji Shan feel a bit better and no longer felt reluctant about losing her adoptive uncle’s love and adoration. After all, these things were useless what mattered the most was ‘money’!

As long as she had money in her hand, she will be able to leave a wonderful life, who cares how she got it.

Because Old madam Shen was walking too fast she bumped into someone, startled she started to fall back but then someone reached to her on time and caught her before she fell down. 

” Grandmother, please walk slowly.” a magnetic voice warned her as the person behind her helped her to stand up straight. Old madam Shen was flustered, she didn’t know what came over her, to think she started walking like she was possessed by something. ” I am sorry, young man. I shouldn’t have troubled you.”

Lin Chen who has helped Old madam Shen smiled like a gentleman as he waved her apology aside. ” There is no need for you to apologise grandma but as an elderly, you should be taking care of yourself.” 

This was his wife’s grandmother, he definitely needs to make the first move and get her to like him or else who knows which brother of his would take over him. 

He needed to make sure that his relationship with Wan Wan’s grandmother started on the right foot. 

The three Lin brothers glared at Lin Chen. This sly dog, he was really too smart, he was always a step ahead of them in situations like these!

Even the two Shen uncles were stunned at what just happened and once they realised that the third brat was actually trying to act smart with their mother, they were furious. What grandma? Whose grandma? This brat was truly shameless!

Ji Shan who was standing behind Old madam Shen was stunned as she took a glimpse of Lin Chen—— tall, muscular and handsome, he was totally in line with her aesthetic view! But while she was gazing at Lin Chen, a slender arm like one carved out of jade hooked around Lin Chen’s waist and only then did Ji Shan look over at Su Wan who was glaring at her through the veil that was hiding her face.
