After so many years, the reason Ji Nuan had never received the fondness of these women was precisely because of that ridiculously attractive face of hers, and those lips that never placed her on the losing end.
No matter if it was then or now, even with ten more years of life experience, under her reserved composure remained her refusal to allow anyone to step on her. The ones thinking of taking advantage of her needed to be sent back to school to be retaught for several years.
However, it really looked as though Mrs. Mo had bullied the Han familyâs lady.
After all, the title of Mrs. Mo sufficed to suppress anyone on the street, and it was this title that caused these wealthy young ladies to grit their teeth in hatred.
Miss Lin saw Miss Han at a loss for words from the anger and took a step forward. âMrs. Mo sure is imposing. Youâve really changed after marrying Mo Jingshen. I heard that previously when you appeared on a similar occasion, you pretended to be frail, so CEO Mo had to carry you out. We were all wondering how you gained control of your marriage; so, youâve been acting like a frail white lotus before CEO Mo? Now that CEO Mo isnât here, youâve begun showing off your might again, havenât you? Youâre truly a woman with many schemes! And you dare say you didnât deliberately dirty her clothes? That you are not deliberately targeting her?â
Ji Nuan coldly glanced at her. âWhy would I target her?â
âIsnât it because you know Miss Han has always liked CEO Mo? You are jealous because of their previous small relationship, and the moment you saw her here you thought about dirtying her dress to humiliate her. Who here doesnât know how you used to be? A wealthy young lady more arrogant than anyone else. There have been countless occasions when you bullied others. Why are you acting innocent now?â
Ji Nuanâs expression instantly became serious. âAside from being too lazy to pay you idle people any mind, when did I bully anyone? Being arrogant donât require your judgment. For example, Miss Han wanted me to take off my gown for her to wear, and I refused. She shot herself in the feet and caused herself to lose face. How did the situation change into me bullying her?â
âYouâre clearly targeting me! Otherwise, why would you bump into me!â Miss Han took advantage of the opportunity and spoke up.
Ji Nuanâs eyes instantly narrowed. âA Miss Han who, for the sake of pursuing my husband, once put on the crazy act and attempted suicide, but failed to receive even a single glance from him; In which way are you worthy of my attention? How are you worthy of being my target? En?â
The incident from back then was suddenly brought up. Miss Hanâs expression instantly turned green, and because of the words âmy husband,â a knife was stabbed into her heart.
âOne must have self-awareness. Since the dirty water you splashed out yourself cannot be undone, kneel on the ground and lick it clean. Donât expect others to wipe it for you.â Ji Nuan coldly finished her words and turned to leave.
âJi Nuan, donât put on airs! The reason you could marry into the Mo family is because you look like a little vixen! You wonât be able to pull off these little schemes of seduction forever! Right now, Mo Jingshen might want you, but who knows if after several years he will become sick of you and toss you out of the Mo family. Then, second-hand goods like you would only be able to beg a bunch of old men to sleep with you! Isnât it just a face, what other right do you have to be arrogant! Quit acting!â Suddenly, Miss Han was consumed with rage as she shouted a stream of words.
Ji Nuanâs footsteps paused as she turned back to glance at her. âJust because I have a face? You donât even have a face, and you dare to discuss rights with me?â
Miss Han faltered not expecting her words to be used against herself. She ground her teeth in anger.
Miss Hanâs father was also present. When he heard the noise on this side of the room, he immediately came. He saw it was Ji Nuan, and although he took into account the Mo family, after seeing his daughter being angered into such a state and her dirtied dress, he could not help but furrow his brows and take on the attitude of an elder to nag. âMrs. Mo, as a person, itâs better to be more upright. If youâve done something wrong, then you should admit it. Although my daughter shouldnât have made such a fuss here to harm your reputation, you should maintain the right attitude since you dirtied her clothesâ
âDonât you understand human words?â Ji Nuan had lost all patience, no longer wishing to continue taking turns in this verbal fight; she felt it was a waste of time. âHer skirt was dirtied by her own actions; itâs unrelated to me. If you donât believe it, check the surveillance cameras. After watching it, if you dare, then come out and continue speaking.â
Miss Hanâs fatherâs expression instantly turned ugly. âMrs. Moâs upbringing seems to be rather poor. Is this how you speak to elders? How did your father bring you up? It seems like I have to find some time to talk to Director Ji and Elder Mo.â
If it was not because he really could not cause her too much harm before the eyes of the public, Miss Hanâs father really wanted to give this Ji Nuan a tight slap and teach her a proper lesson.
Miss Han took advantage of everyoneâs support and her fatherâs presence to put on an arrogant and domineering attitude toward Ji Nuan. âThe truth is right before our eyes. After all, you really touched me. The strength with which you did so cannot be seen from the surveillance cameras. We can reduce this into a small matter if you wish for it, but my demand remains unchanged! Take off your gown! So, what if I canât put it on? I didnât say I would wear it! Take off your clothes in public, and Iâll forgive you for this!â
At this moment, a lazy, amused voice came from behind Ji Nuan. âMiss Han, are you sure you want to have Mrs. Mo take off her gown in public? Even if it isnât up to a hundred, there are at least several tens of eyes here; so many peopleâs eyes, yet they might still be insufficient for Mo Jingshen to dig out.â
This voice belonged to Sheng Yihan. Although he had come to speak up for Ji Nuan, his words caused Ji Nuan to be extremely unhappy.
His words clearly concealed a tinged of mockery only she could sense.
âMr. Sheng, I heard you used to have some relations with the Ji family. But arenât you afraid of causing some misunderstanding by standing up here to speak out for Mrs. Mo?â Miss Han could no longer suppress her anger. She did not give Sheng Yihan any face even though he was already the Sheng familyâs heir. His status could not be easily dismissed, yet she refused to let go of it.
âFurthermore, Mrs. Mo canât have come to this place without preparing any spare clothes. I only want her to take off her gown; it canât be that sheâs not even wearing any underwear. Sheâs Hai Chengâs First Warmth, ah, if she doesnât reveal her figure for others to see, who can say that she truly fits the title.â Miss Han glared at Ji Nuan.
âMiss Han, the departmental store under the Sheng familyâs name is right around the corner. If you wish, you can go there and pick anything you like.â Sheng Yihan maintained his light smile. âThereâs no need to make things difficult for people here.â
Miss Han still refused to budge. âIs Mr. Sheng trying to protect the flower? What if I insist on having Ji Nuan take off her gown tonight?â
âThis Sheng has used up all of his words. The Sheng Corporationâs department store can be opened for Miss Han anytime, but you clearly donât plan on giving me any face.â Sheng Yihan smiled imperceptibly.
Miss Han had already lost her rationality. She coldly harrumphed.
âIf Mr. Shengâs face doesnât work, what about mine?â
A clear voice abruptly rang through the room. It was low, heavy, and cold. The crowd shifted as their startled eyes landed on Mo Jingshen who had suddenly appeared.
