Even if Madam Ji considered the Song Family shallow upstarts, Song Nanzhen had genuinely earned his promotion through his own merits this time, leaving her with nothing to say. Apart from muttering that he was just lucky, she didn't know what else to add.
She was already displeased with her son's insistence on marrying Miss Xie. Now, hearing that Wang Yunhua was requesting an audience, Madam Ji grew even more furious. Her face fell, and the rage was practically erupting from her.
Ji Yunting sat calmly to the side, observing his mother's expression. He spoke placidly, "Mother, I don't need to tell you why Miss Wang has come. I wouldn't dare marry a wife like her."
Madam Ji felt her cheeks burn with shame. It was she who had chosen Wang Yunhua. But when her son had his accident, the girl had clamored to break off the engagement. Now that the Wang Family had fallen, she was crawling back. Never mind her son—even Madam Ji herself wouldn't spare her a second glance.
