Mo Jingshen stood there. He had given his suit jacket to Ji Nuan, so he only wore a black shirt. He stood there calmly yet indifferently. Casting her a cold glance, he turned around to talk to his men, not looking at her again.
When he finally placed his eyes on her, he said coldly and distantly: âTell the man behind you to come out.â Apparently, he didnât want to waste time on her.
Even though Ji Mengran was used to his cold and condescending attitude, after being pressed against the wall by his men, she was angry. She glared at him. âWhat are you talking about? You know I have long hated Ji Nuan. No one is behind me. I designed this all alone. Thatâs how you see me, isnât it?!â
Ji Mengran was agitated and almost growled when she was speaking.
However, the man standing opposite her remained cold and silent, giving no response.
She felt at once that she was always a buffoon in his eyes. Being ashamed into anger, Ji Mengran shouted, âI just hate Ji Nuan. I just hate seeing you two playing lovey-dovey in front of my eyes! Since youâve caught me, you can just punish me as you want!â
She was confident that Mo Jingshen wouldnât do anything to her, let alone kill her because she was Ji Nuanâs biological sister, Ji Hongwenâs daughter, and a member of the Ji family.
Mo Jingshen glanced her indifferently. âI wonder why the man behind you is so stupid as to use an idiot like you to go against Ji Nuan. Ji Nuan must have left him no choice.â
âMo Jingshen!â Feeling humiliated, Ji Mengran shouted angrily, âDo you know how much I love you?! Is it wrong to love you? But you donât even bother to spare me a glance! Since youâve decided to marry the daughter of the Ji family for your alliance with the Ji family, why did you choose Ji Nuan? Am I worse than her?! I canât accept it! I just wanted to get closer to you by taking advantage of the fact that Ji Nuan didnât want to marry you! It was Ji Nuan who didnât want this marriage! She didnât cherish you, but you always defend her! Why? Why are you so nice to her? Just because youâve married her?! Why can I only stay far away and watch you two playing lovey-dovey?! How is she better than me?â
Mo Jingshen gave her a cold yet aloof smile. âYou are not even close.â
âYou...â Ji Mengran bit her lips in anger. Then she glanced at the other people present and said to Mo Jingshen, who was several meters away from her, âHaha, not even close? No, she is not even close! If who you should marry is the daughter of the Ji family, then Ji Nuan isnât qualified at all! She is not born by my fa...â
Suddenly, the door of the room behind Mo Jingshen opened. Ji Nuan walked out and rushed up to her.
âSlap!â
A loud, slapping sound rang.
Even the men in black suits, who wouldnât be easily shocked, looked at her in surprise.
Mo Jingshenâs cold stare rested on Ji Mengranâs reddened face. His eyes were cold, without any heat.
Ji Mengran couldnât believe she was slapped by Ji Nuan again. She stared at Ji Nuan with wide-open eyes.
Her beautiful nails that she had just done half a month ago dug deep into her palm. She glared at Ji Nuan. âJi Nuan, how dare you slap me? I swear I will make you pay me back by ten times, no, a hundred times! You will regret it for the rest of your life!â
No one ever dared do this to her. Last time, Ji Nuan slapped her in the Ji family while their dad was around, so she had to let her off.
But now she hit her in front of Mo Jingshen! She would mock her at most before when Mo Jingshen was present.
Ji Mengran immediately went mad. Like a shrew, she tried to break free from those men to pounce at Ji Nuan. She looked even more ferocious than last time in the Ji family in Hai City.
Ji Mengran struggled so hard that the men had to press her neck, which made her scream in pain. Then, a man walked out of the elevator.
Watching the man walking up to them, Ji Nuan frowned.
That man pulled Ji Mengran back, and she fell into his arms. The man rudely pressed her against his chest to stop her from struggling. Then he glanced around the whole corridor. His stare didnât stop when passing Ji Nuanâs face but crossed with Mo Jingshenâs cold stare.
As she expected, it was Sheng Yihan.
Ji Nuan had guessed he designed this plot against her when she saw the teacup on the tea table.
As a doctor, Sheng Yihan didnât drink coffee or any beverage with additives. He liked drinking tea, especially the mild-tasting ones.
Looking at Mo Jingshen, Sheng Yihan smiled while exerting greater strength to control Ji Mengran who was still trying to jump at Ji Nuan.
Ji Mengran felt pain. This man almost crushed her ribs just to stop her from hurting Ji Nuan. Unable to bear the pain anymore, she screamed, and her eyes turned red. âBrother Sheng, let go of me! Ji Nuan has hit me more than once! How could she do this to me?! She is merely a bastard who doesnât even know who her biological father is! Let me go... Ouch...â
Sheng Yihan suddenly grabbed her wrist hard. She felt such extreme pain that she almost cried.
Although Sheng Yihan held Ji Mengran in his arms, everyone could tell he was really rough with her.
Ignoring the cry and curse of Ji Mengran, he indifferently looked at Mo Jingshen under the light of the corridor.
This man looked genteel and mild, but he almost broke the ribs of the woman in his arms. He looked noble, gentle, and well-educated. There wasnât any trace of violence on his handsome face, but Ji Nuan felt a chill from the depths of her heart.
Just like when she was still a kid in the Ji family. He pressed on towards her step by step with this smile on his face...
Being stared at by Sheng Yihan, Mo Jingshen glanced at him casually and said flatly, âThe knife you chose is not sharp enough. You can blame no one but yourself. It wonât help even if you kill her right here. I donât mind seeing bloodshed, but Ji Nuan is here. You better be careful not to scare my wife.â
Ji Mengran looked at Mo Jingshen blankly and helplessly. That night, after she was thrown to the haunted abandoned area by Ji Nuan and Feng Ling, Sheng Yihanâs car stopped in front of her.
But what did Mo Jingshen mean?
