769 I’ll Compete on Your Behalf
Yun Cai said this out of good intentions. The Ji family had never had much contact with Lu Shaoyang before, and this was the first time they had heard of Lu Shaoyang’s achievements. Seeing that Wu Jia and Tian Peipei were nodding in agreement to support Yunyun’s words, Ji Qian’s face showed a little worry.
“Sister-in-law, why don’t you quit the competition?” Ji Qian carefully suggested to Shen Hanxing, “we don’t need to pay attention to Lu Shaoyang. Who cares what he is saying? We are doing him a favor by comparing with him!” The Lu family was not worth their attention. Lu Shaoyang’s provocation was indeed annoying, but they did not need to do what they were not good at. People like Lu Shaoyang, who was a frog in a well, always felt that he lacked opportunities to display his talents, which was really annoying. If it were possible, Ji Qian would love to teach Lu Shaoyang a lesson herself. However, she did not have the ability to do so, and she did not want Shen Hanxing to suffer. If she lost, she did not know how Lu Shaoyang would mock her and what others would say about Shen Hanxing behind her. She could not bear to see Shen Hanxing being criticized.
“Fleeing without a fight? That fellow might even think that we’re afraid of him!” Ji Mo stood up as his eyes flickered. They had been too careless this time. They were already used to Shen Hanxing’s unrivaled strength and had overlooked the limitations of her background. Moreover, their sister-in-law was only a twenty-year-old girl. How could she possibly be omnipotent? Her sister-in-law was already very talented in many aspects. Lu Shaoyang was also aware of this, so he took the initiative to propose a golf competition. How despicable!
Ji Mo gritted his teeth, and a cold murderous intent flashed across his heart. He took the initiative to say, “Sister-in-law, why don’t I compete for you? Lu Shaoyang is not worthy of you doing it yourself.” His curly hair swayed slightly as he spoke, and the ear studs on his earlobes also shone.
“Hey! That will work. Maybe I can go on behalf of my sister-in-law!” Ji Qian’s eyes lit up. She wasn’t afraid of being embarrassed.
Knowing that Ji Qian and the others were trying to protect her, Shen Hanxing’s heart softened. She smiled and said, “Even if I don’t know how to play golf, do you know how to play, Ji Mo?”
“That’s different,” Ji Mo replied. Of course, he didn’t know how to play golf either. His birth mother was unreliable. He had grown up by his mother’s side and suffered a lot. When he came to the Ji family, he was also controlled by his birth mother. He was busy with his studies every day, and any extra hobby was regarded as a stumbling block that hindered his studies. He had no chance to play golf at all. Even before Shen Hanxing married into the family, he had no friends to take him out to have fun. But… it was better for him to humiliate himself than for his sister-in-law to do it.
“They will, at most, make fun of me. I’m a boy,” Ji Mo lowered his head and said in a low voice. “I don’t care about these things.” On the contrary, he was very excited to be able to do something for his sister-in-law. He was even looking forward to doing it.
Seeing how obedient Ji Mo was, Shen Hanxing could not help but smile.
“Don’t worry,” At this moment, a warm palm landed on Ji Mo’s shoulder. Ji Yan’s expression was indifferent, and his black eyes were calm. “You must believe in your sister-in-law.” He was the most rational person in the Ji family. When he found out that he had a wife out of nowhere, Chen Liang’s assistant had already investigated Shen Hanxing from head to toe. He was the one who should know that Shen Hanxing did not know how to play golf, but… He also knew that Shen Hanxing shouldn’t know how to run a company, play the violin, draw, race cars, or raise orchids. It wasn’t that he didn’t notice that Shen Hanxing seemed to be hiding shocking secrets. She was shrouded in mystery, but he respected her and didn’t probe further if she didn’t tell him.
Ji Mo’s smile faded upon hearing Ji Yan’s words. In the end, he did not refute it. Since his big brother did not object, he decided to let his sister-in-law play. If she lost, then so be it. The Ji family had never cared about face and reputation. They did not care what those people thought. Moreover, those people only said a few words behind her back, and no one dared to condemn their sister-in-law before her.
Seeing that the Ji family had finished communicating with each other and were walking towards the golf course as if nothing had happened, Yun Cai could not help but reveal a shocked expression. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something to persuade them to stay, but she could not come out with any excuse.
