Chapter 280 Despair (2)

Watching Ji Zunxing on the screen being helped up by the servants of the Ji Mansion, Ji Xueyao's tears dripped onto Shen Ruyan's clothes.

"Mother, what should we do? Father seems to really not want us anymore."

Shen Ruyan was even more heartbroken. She couldn't bear to see her man fall into the arms of another woman, especially Wen Ya, the woman who had been defeated by her.

"No, your father will never abandon us."

Shen Ruyan seemed to be comforting Ji Xueyao, but also seemed to be comforting herself.

"Maybe your father is deliberately trying to get closer to Ji Chenxing, and then looking for an opportunity to get Ji Chenxing to let us out, what do you think?"

Although she said this, she didn't have the confidence in her heart.

Ji Zunxing's smiling face was as beautiful as a flower, it didn't look fake at all.

Through the screen, Ji Chenxing in front of the Ji Mansion suddenly spoke again, as if he had guessed what Shen Ruyan was thinking.

"Father, you won't lie to me this time, right?" Ji Chenxing asked.

Ji Zunxing was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Ji Chenxing was talking about.

At this time, he had seen Wen Ya through the crack in the door. Compared with the old and ugly Shen Ruyan, Wen Ya's face was still as beautiful as when she was young.

Her skin is firm, her face is rosy, and she is calm and elegant. Time has left no trace of harm on her body, but has only added a lot of mature charm to her.

Ji Zunxing became more and more excited.

Compared to Wen Ya, Shen Ruyan was like mud stuck on the soles of shoes, disgusting and impossible to get rid of.

Ji Zunxing knew that Ji Chenxing's question was something like a token of allegiance. As long as he agreed here, he would not have any relationship with Shen Ruyan in the future.

But so what? He wanted it more than anything else.

As for Shen Ruyan, she is just a useless old woman and a daughter who is about to get married. What use can she be?

On the other hand, Ji Chenxing has the Xihe Princess Ji Chenxing, the beautiful Wen Ya, and his only son Ji Minghan, who is also said to be cooperating with Ji Chenxing.

After making this comparison, any smart person would choose Ji Chenxing!
"Chen Xing, don't worry, father will never have anything to do with Shen Ruyan again! If you don't believe me, father can swear to heaven that I will never lie."

In order to make Ji Chenxing believe him, Ji Zunxing really raised his hand and swore a solemn oath.

"If I tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning and die miserably!"

After Ji Zunxing finished speaking, Ji Chenxing finally smiled, "In this case, my daughter will be relieved."

On the other side, Shen Ruyan also heard Ji Zunxing's oath.

Moreover, the live broadcast system was afraid that Shen Ruyan couldn't hear clearly, so it deliberately increased the volume for Shen Ruyan.

The phrase "If you are struck by lightning, you will die a miserable death" is deafening.

Ji Zunxing was not pretending. He was such an honest and upright person. If what he said to Ji Chenxing was false, he would not have sworn such a vicious oath.

He really didn't want himself and Ji Xueyao anymore.

At that moment, Shen Ruyan felt that her tense nerves finally broke.

Ji Xueyao noticed that something was wrong with Shen Ruyan, and tears started flowing again.

She sobbed quietly, not knowing why her life had become like this.

"Mother, do you think we can still go out?" Ji Xueyao was really hopeless. She looked at the dark environment around her. There was only a window far above her head, through which she could see a thin line of sunlight.

Ji Xueyao felt inexplicably terrified. She and Shen Ruyan were like two mice locked in a cage. "We won't die here, will we?"

Ji Xueyao's voice trembled a little.

"No, no, Xueyao, don't forget, we still have your uncle. He will definitely save us!"

Shen Ruyan thought of her mother's family and saw hope again.

Shen Ruyan has a pretty good relationship with her brothers from her natal family. Moreover, when she was the general's wife, she gave her brothers a lot of convenience. Now that something has happened, it is impossible for these brothers to ignore her.

Ji Xueyao's eyes also lit up, "Yes, and my uncle, my uncle dotes on me so much, he won't ignore me."

As the two talked, they seemed to have found hope in an instant.

But they didn't know that after hearing their conversation, Ji Chenxing's mouth corners slightly raised.

"Father, you have sworn a solemn oath, so you are one of us now. Actually, I have something very important to share with you."

Ji Chenxing acted mysterious and said, "This matter is very important, father, please don't tell anyone else."

Upon hearing this, Ji Zunxing quickly put on a serious expression and moved closer to Ji Chenxing.

In the prison, Shen Ruyan had just relaxed. She looked at the pitiful Ji Xueyao and wanted to make her happy.

So, Shen Ruyan began to laugh at Ji Chenxing, "Xueyao, look at her, has she forgotten that she is live streaming? She even told your father not to tell anyone else. Haha, I'm afraid that by the time she finishes, everyone in the world will know."

Hearing Shen Ruyan's joke, Ji Xueyao finally burst into laughter.

In order not to make Shen Ruyan worry, Ji Xueyao smiled with tears in her eyes. One or two tears fell from her eyes, which made Shen Ruyan feel particularly distressed.

"Yes, mother, she is stupid. Even if she is a princess, what can she do? She can't even do something as simple as hiding a secret."

Ji Xueyao hugged Shen Ruyan's arm and got into a comfortable position. "Why don't we see what important things Ji Chenxing will say."

Looking at Ji Xueyao, all Shen Ruyan could do was comfort her.

The two people snuggled together, and if they were not in the prison, the scene must have been very warm.

Under the watchful eyes of Shen Ruyan and Ji Xueyao, Ji Chenxing finally told the secret to Ji Zunxing.

"Father, do you know His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Ji Zunxing was shocked. He knew that the prince and Shen Ruyan were close in the past. When Ji Chenxing said this, he was really afraid that Ji Chenxing would come for revenge again.

But as a former general, he couldn't say he didn't know.

So under Ji Chenxing's gaze, Ji Zunxing nodded cautiously, fearing to anger Ji Chenxing.

"For...for your father to know His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Ji Chenxing nodded with satisfaction and didn't seem to be angry. Ji Zunxing breathed a sigh of relief.

But what Ji Chenxing said next made Ji Zunxing breathe a sigh of relief again.

"Father only knows His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but he probably doesn't know that Shen Ruyan has long been at odds with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"My informants have told me these past few days that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made another move."

Under the gazes of Ji Xueyao and Shen Ruyan, Ji Chenxing moved his lips slightly and said something that made them feel suffocated.

"I heard that the Shen family's maternal branch has been killed by the prince. Father must keep his distance from the Shen family."
