<h4>Chapter 566 I don’t understand.</h4>


    Ji Shan paused as she cursed Xu Jia for being so sharp-eyed a thousand times in her heart. She was only here after listening to all the ruckus that was happening in the study room of the third uncle but who would have thought that the things that she would hear would shock her to her core.


    Grandma Shen had a granddaughter? And she was around her age? If so didn''t it mean that her position as the only granddaughter of the Shen family was threatened? Ji Shan was one of many granddaughters of the Ji family. And unlike the Shen family who prioritizes granddaughters over grandsons, her family was all about favouring boys, her mother and father were of the same mindset as well they would often neglect her and pamper her younger brother who was three at the moment.


    There were many times when Ji Shan wanted to live a life like her younger brother and wished that she was born as a son instead of a daughter but the thing was that she was already born as a girl and there was nothing much she could do about it either. So, Ji Shan lived a life where she had to scheme against even the smallest of the daughter of the Ji family.


    Even if she has to take an extra mungbean cake to eat, she has to scheme for it against many others. It was a tiresome life and that was when her grandfather brought her here. He said that his sister was dying to have a granddaughter since she only has grandsons and no granddaughter.


    At first Ji Shan thought that it was impossible for anyone to like girls but when she was brought to the Shen family, she finally realized that it was the truth! The Shen family''s matriarch really wanted to have a granddaughter! Ji Shan felt like she was walking over the moon and maybe the gods were also on her side because she somehow by some freaky coincidence looked like the dead Shen Shui which was why her grandfather brought her here.


    Ji Shan''s grandfather''s thinking was simple after all he didn''t have just one granddaughter, there were many and it wasn''t easy to raise so many kids at once. And what was even more interesting for some reason, his sister was leaving a life that was much better than his, unlike him whose family was getting more and more empty and hollowed from the inside the same couldn''t be said for his sister who was getting richer by the grace of God.


    Ji Shan''s grandfather thought that if he were to send one of his granddaughters to his sister, he will be able to get in her good graces and then his family will be able to ask for big and small favours from his sister.


    It was a bit shameless butpared to his family bing nothing but a shell this was better. So, he sent his granddaughter who resembled Shen Shui the most, after all, he and his sister were born from the same mother and their genes were still simr in one way or another, it wasn''t a big deal to find one Shen Shui among the countless numbers of granddaughters that he had.


    He sent Ji Shan as a toy who would keep Old madam Shen happy and in return, he will be able to ask for favours from her. But Ji Shan who was being pampered by Old madam Shen haspletely forgotten her position, she now started believing that she was the only granddaughter of the Shen family.


    Thus, after finding out that there was another granddaughter, she couldn''t help but feel threatened it was like she was scared about losing the one thing that was more important to her. And if she was being honest, she was indeed going to lose the position and the love of the Shen family if that real granddaughter was to return, after all an '' adopted'' granddaughter could neverpare to the biological one.


    This was why she wanted to find out about this granddaughter of the Shen family that suddenly popped up just before her adoption ceremony. She was supposed to be the star of this day, how can she let anyone snatch it? After getting love from Old madam Shen, she was now aiming for getting love from the three uncles of the Shen family but if that girl was to return how will she get it?


    But before she could get to know about the girl''s situation, she was caught!


    Ji Shan took a calming breath and turned around after pasting a smile on her face. " Third aunt, is there some sort of misunderstanding? I just came here to call you and third uncle to lunch but seeing that you two were busy, I didn''t disturb you two."


    Xu Jia assessed the girl in front of her calmly and shook her head, " If only you were this understanding, I didn''t have to worry about a single thing. But clearly you aren''t," with her eyes harshly locked on Ji Shan, Xu Jia spoke in a stern voice that was enough to chill Ji Shan''s blood. " You were here to eavesdrop and find out more about Wan Wan, didn''t you? I bet with your habit of eavesdropping on others, you must have found out about her after listening to Mother and my husband, didn''t you?"


    She didn''t think that she would be caught like that, but even though Ji Shan was caught. She still shook her head and naively feigned innocence. " Third aunt, what are you talking about I have no idea about it, like I said the chef uncle in the main lodge said that it was time to eat, that''s why I came here to call you nothing else. You are using me of things that I haven''t done."


    Then she paused for a bit and added, " Who is this Wan Wan, you are talking about? Is she Grandma''s rtive? If so then I have no problem with hering here."
