Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Sheng Yihan slowly cracked a smile. “Mr. Mo.”
He gave Mo Jingshen a mocking look. “I thought Ji Nuan was still being protected by that female bodyguard.”
While speaking, he relaxed the hand that almost crushed Ji ngran’s ribs and rudely pushed her out of his arms. He dropped his hand.
Mo Jingshen glanced at him and then turned his eyes toward Ji ngran who was pale from the pain and seed to try to work out a way out.
Ji ngran shook her shoulders and complained, “Brother Sheng, I know I acted too rashly and didn’t follow your plan, but you know how much I hate Ji Nuan. I lured her here in the na of my father. I know you didn’t expect she would co here... I never wanted to expose you... but...”
Sheng Yihan looked at her expressionlessly. “What’s the point of you saying this now?” His voice was flat and emotionless.
Sheng Yihan did help her for a reason, but he never asked her to drug Ji Nuan or lured Ji Nuan here in such a stupid way.
Ji ngran was too impatient. Unlike Sheng Yihan who could be extrely patient, Ji ngran just couldn’t wait.
Ji Nuan drawled. “So, I was lured here, partly because my sister who hates wanted to set up, and partly because you want to get sothing from ?”
Hearing her cold voice, Sheng Yihan lifted his eyelid. His light-colored eyes looked almost transparent.
He didn’t answer to Ji Nuan but looked expressionlessly at the elegant and handso man standing under the light.
Sheng Yihan had t Mo Jingshen at the Shine dinner party. Their first eting that was not that pleasant dood that today’s affair wouldn’t be solved peacefully.
“Well, don’t speak to this way. Since we’ve been close, what do I still need from you?” Sheng Yihan asked her with a smile.
His look was inscrutable and annoying.
Reluctant to be ignored, Ji ngran suddenly turned to Ji Nuan and stared at her arrogantly. “You’ve heard what I said just now, haven’t you? Ji Nuan, you’re not Dad’s daughter! Your mother married Dad with you in her belly! Even though she married Dad and you were recognized as Dad’s first daughter for so many years, there is no Ji’s blood in you! How proud you were and how pathetic you are now! Ji Nuan, for the sake of our past sisterhood, I can forgive you for stealing so many things from , but not including Mo Jingshen! Who do you think you are? What makes you think you can stand here, calling yourself ‘Mrs. Mo’? You’re the one who should be ashad!”
Although Ji ngran’s eyes were still red, she had an extrely disdainful smile on her face when she said these words. With the ingrained pride that belonged to a real Ji, she coldly squinted at Ji Nuan.
Mo Jingshen didn’t look at Ji ngran but shielded Ji Nuan who remained expressionless behind him. Then he turned to Sheng Yihan and smiled mockingly. “The secret that Ji Hongwen tried to keep was easily found out by you when you were in the Ji family, wasn’t it? Now Ji ngran used this not-so-secret secret as her trump card. The bait that you carefully prepared for Ji Nuan was swallowed by Ji ngran?”
Sheng Yihan sneered, and his eyes went cold. “Since you called it a not-so-secret secret, you should know it can’t be the bait.”
Mo Jingshen looked at him for a while and then turned his eyes to Ji Nuan.
Ji Nuan remained silent since Ji ngran said those words.
Or to be exact, she had been ntally prepared for this news because the won of Hai City’s upper class had long been gossiping that she was an illegitimate daughter. Also, after she grew up, she found out that she didn’t look like any Ji.
Although she needed ti to digest this news, it was not a shock to her.
As Mo Jingshen said, Ji ngran was being stupid taking this “secret” as her trump card against her.
If Ji Nuan was still the previous life Ji Nuan who was so depended on the Ji family, this news might be a blow to her.
But she was not.
Whatever the truth was, Ji Nuan did not depend on the Ji family at all. The only thing connecting her and the Ji family was her gratitude and affection toward Ji Hongwen.
Under Ji ngran’s arrogant glare, Ji Nuan gradually cracked a calm and indifferent smile. “But what you long for never mattered to , so what can you get by saying these smug words except self-consolation?”
Ji ngran paused and then purposely asked her out loud, “So you an your marriage to Mo Jingshen never matters to you too?”
Ji Nuan glanced at her and asked her word by word, “Do you hate so much because the only thing I care about is this marriage and the only thing I’ve strived for is the man who you are desperate to get but can’t get? Is it for this reason that you not only set up but also tried to kill several tis, despite our twenty-year-long sisterhood?”
“You don’t even know who your biological father is. How can you have the cheek to stand here and say these...”
Ji ngran was going to refute when Mo Jingshen had taken Ji Nuan’s hand and walked into the room behind him, ignoring anyone else in the corridor.
He took Ji Nuan into the room and closed the door of the room.
She looked up only to see the man pursed his thin lips and called her gently, “Nuan Nuan.”
So part in her heart that had been hurting since Ji ngran said those words suddenly settled down.
She said in a soft and calm voice, “I’m stronger than you think. I’m fine. I just need so ti to digest the news.”
Mo Jingshen gazed at her. “Don’t trust what anyone tells you about your real parents. Find a chance to talk with your father. I think the truth is not as simple as people said.”
Ji Nuan nodded.
He reached out to rub her hair. His voice was gentle and soothing. “You were just drugged, so you should rest. Let’s talk about this when we go back ho.”
Ji Nuan nodded again.
She had her own idea, but she was willing to follow Mo Jingshen’s words. He was very concerned about her and she happened to be reluctant to quarrel with Ji ngran.
Although the drug had worn off, she still had no strength, so she just let him hold her in his arms to stop her from going out.
When Mo Jingshen walked out of the room again, except for Sheng Yihan who stayed calm and collected, the other people looked at Mo Jingshen carefully.
