The Crippled Boss Loves Me

Ji Ning was timid and did not dare to speak, but she still carefully moved forward and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Shen Hanxing, firmly expressing her support for her sister-in-law's decision.

Shen Hanxing's heart softened, and she lightly scolded them, "What are you all fooling around for? Get back here."

These children seemed cold on the outside, but they were very soft on the inside. Perhaps it was because of the bad experiences they encountered in their lives, they built up many walls to better protect themselves.

She knew that Ji Yang and Ji Zhou were worried about her, but Shen Hanxing never did anything unprepared, nor would she make promises that she was not sure of.

She can save this orchid because this was not the first time she encountered this variant. The suffering in her life also brought her many magical experiences. As the saying goes, God never mistreats those who strived to survive. When He closes a door, He would also open a window...

Shen Hanxing was full of confidence and certainty. She never doubted her ability. It was precisely due to her temperament that she was able to survive all those hardships and obstacles time and time again.

Old Master Zhuang looked deeply at her, his gaze scrutinizing and sizing her up. Although he did not immediately respond, his attitude already softened.

At this moment, Zhuang Hengyu, who was watching from the crowd, suddenly said, "Grandfather, since Mrs. Ji said that she has a way, let her try. It's not like you're losing anything. At most, you'll have to wait three months before you hold a funeral for your precious orchid. But what if Mrs. Ji is successful? You'll get your orchid back. This deal doesn't hurt you no matter how you think about it."

"Brat, how dare you talk to me like that!"

When Old Master Zhuang saw him, a gentle smile appeared on his serious face. Although he looked like he was about to strike him, all he did was raise his walking stick and swing it down on him gently. It did not hurt at all.

Zhuang Hengyu pretended to cry in pain a few times, causing Old Master Zhuang to scold him again. "You brat, I didn't even use much strength, why are you shouting that it hurts!"

Zhuang Hengyu chuckled and rubbed the tip of his nose before he reached out to hold Old Master Zhuang's arm. "You can't be unreasonable. I'm just trying to make you happy!"

Old Master Zhuang rolled his eyes. Make me happy? He saw that Zhuang Hengyu was helping Mrs. Ji out of her predicament. Otherwise, would he, who always avoided banquets, suddenly speak up?

Hmph, but what's the use of helping her? The girl's already taken! How does Ji Yan get to marry such an outstanding girl despite his crippled legs, while his grandson spends every day in the hospital with no girlfriend?

Thinking of this, Old Master Zhuang glared at him again, but he still went with Zhuang Hengyu's suggestion. "Alright, I'll give you three months."

"Thank you for your understanding, Old Master Zhuang." Shen Hanxing smiled and looked at Zhuang Hengyu gratefully. Zhuang Hengyu waved his hand nonchalantly.

Behind her, Ji Qian was both happy and worried. To make up for her mistake, she diligently tidied up the soil in the flower pot and carefully held it in her hands.

Shen Hanxing saw Ji Qian's actions and knew that she needed to do something to divert her guilt, so she placed the orchid in Ji Qian's hands and asked her to take care of it. Then, she dusted the soil off her hands and called out to Old Master Zhuang who was about to leave, "Old Master Zhuang, please wait a moment."

Old Master Zhuang turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"The matter hasn't been resolved yet."

Shen Hanxing smiled and said, "As I've said before, there's more than what meets the eye. The Ji family will bear responsibility for our actions, but that doesn't mean that we will take responsibility for other people's actions. The Ji family isn't a sucker."

She patted Ji Qian, who was stunned, and her gaze landed gently on Old Master Zhuang. "The plants in your greenhouse are expensive, so you must have a lot of security cameras, right? I'd like to take a look at the surveillance footage. Our Qian Qian isn't a rash person, nor is she a liar. She said that someone pushed her, so someone must have pushed her."

After she said that, her gentle tone suddenly turned cold. "I'd like to see who's so daring to bully members of the Ji family!"

Ji Qian felt warm. She felt as if she was surrounded by warm water, and her heart was incredibly warm. She thought that the matter was already over, so she planned to just swallow her grievances. She didn't expect Shen Hanxing to still remember and be so determined to help her prove her innocence.

Shen Hanxing already took the lead, so she naturally wouldn't back down either. Even though she was holding a pile of dirt and a decaying orchid in her hands, her gaze held firm. "That's right. I can say with certainty that someone pushed me from behind. The Ji family will take our share of the responsibility. I admit that I did something wrong, but don't even think to slander me for something that I didn't do!"
