Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Grandfather Mo snorted. “During the Spring Festival, these people did co, but I drove them away.”
“Why did you drive them away? It would be livelier to have these people in the house.”
“No! These people are all glib-tongued liars and scramble for petty profits with each other as soon as they et. I’m not their grandfather or father. They just have the sa surna as . What makes them think they can gain profits from ? Instead of coming to my house all day to suck up to , they should take care of their own affairs. They have no skill, and all they have learned since their childhood is to ride on the Mo family’s coattails. I’m tired of dealing with them.”
At this ti, sothing suddenly occurred to him. “By the way, I forgot to tell you that during the Spring Festival, an old friend of mine in South Africa, whose family is engaged in the jewelry business, had just discovered the world’s largest and most complete ten-carat blue diamond, when you were in Los Angeles with Jingshen. Because Jingshen had told my friend to reserve a good diamond for him before, and I knew he always wanted to give you sothing unique, I had bought that blue diamond for him. Now it’s put in your room. Wait for a while, let get the diamond here.”
Ji Nuan paused, then hurriedly got up and followed him. “Grandpa, you...”
Grandfather Mo had left the living room and cheerfully ordered his servant to assist him upstairs to fetch it.
It was not long before he returned with a velvet box and handed it to her. “Co on, open it.”
Ji Nuan looked at Grandfather Mo with so surprise, then at the envious servants around her, thought for a while and opened the box.
The blue diamond in the box was large and improbably beautiful, shining in the light of the living room.
This was really a very complete round blue diamond, not too deliberately processed into the shape of water droplets or heart and other popular shapes. It was perfectly round, which was the rarest and precious type among blue diamonds.
Ji Nuan didn’t know much about jewelry, but she knew that blue diamonds were rare and more expensive than any other diamond in the world, not to ntion a perfectly round diamond of such high purity.
This diamond was worth hundreds of millions, at least.
“Grandpa, that’s too precious. I...” Ji Nuan was about to quickly put the box back on the table next to Grandfather Mo when he gave her a stare that made her draw back her hand.
“It doesn’t matter. We can afford it. And this blue diamond wasn’t ordered by . Jingshen had early noticed that you didn’t wear the wedding ring after your wedding and guessed that maybe you didn’t like that ring. He had long planned to give you a blue diamond but had been waiting for the rarest and best-shaped one. Now we’ve finally got this one. There’s no reason not to give it to you. You were not in Hai City for the past few months. When the blue diamond was sent here, I kept it for you. You can take it as a gift from our Mo family, from , and from Jingshen. My best granddaughter-in-law deserves the best diamond.”
Ji Nuan clutched the velvet box when she heard that Mo Jingshen had ordered the diamond ring a long ti ago.
“You may not like your wedding ring, but this blue diamond is ordered by Jingshen for you. You can’t refuse it,” Grandfather Mo said with a smile, “This is a blue diamond that has not gone through any processing. If you feel it too big and can’t find a proper occasion to wear it, you can just put it away. Isn’t it said that jewelry gives won a sense of security? You silly girl, how can you refuse the jewels and diamonds that others give you?”
“Grandpa, the Mo gamily is the safest haven for , so I don’t need to turn to this kind of worldly possession for a sense of security. And this is really too precious.” Ji Nuan opened the box again and took a look at the diamond. “Such a big diamond, with the money buying it, I can probably set up several companies in Hai City...”
Grandfather Mo grinned, his eyes nearly closed. “You’re sharp-eyed. Anyway, we can afford it. Just take it. If you really don’t want it, talk to Jingshen and see if he can help you turn it into money. Then you can set up so companies to play with.”
Jested by him, Ji Nuan said shyly, “Grandpa, I am serious about my studio. No matter it is studio or any company I may set up, I won’t take them as my toys.”
“I understand, but I wonder why you have to open a studio and work with so many companies if you can just stay at ho and enjoy your life? Do you think it’s easy to compete in the business circle? You don’t have to suffer so much hardship. I thought you were just playing, but then I found out you were serious. Why are you working so hard?”
Ji Nuan smiled without explaining.

It was late when she left the Mo family, and Ji Nuan drove past the Mo Corporation. She parked in the square opposite and looked up at the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor of the building.
Here she could pinpoint the location of his office and see the lights on in his office.
Looking at the light, she reached for the velvet box that had been placed in the passenger seat and opened it. Inside, she saw the round blue diamond shining in the dim car.
Such a perfect circle was like a route that you could never go wrong. It was always a circle. No matter which direction you followed and which side you went to, you would eventually return to the start, not deviating from the original route.
She rubbed this perfect circle with her fingers over and over again.

After circling around the Mo Corporation for a long ti, she finally got out of the car.
At this ti, many people in Mo Corporation’s building had left work, and so were working overti. Lights were on in several offices on each floor.
Ji Nuan went to the top floor. Shen Mu had probably got off work at such a ti. The offices on the top floor were very quiet and very few people were in the secretary’s office and assistant’s office.
A man about thirty years old with glasses ca out from the water heater room. He seed to be surprised to see Ji Nuan but then asked her respectfully and politely, “Are you Mrs. Mo?”
Ji Nuan gave him a strange look. “Do you know ?”
“Hello, I’m the secretary of CEO Mo. You can call Secretary Ke.” He said to her with a smile, “When I was hired to be the secretary, Mr. Shen showed your photo, telling that if you co to the company, you can co in without appointnt or notice.”
Ji Nuan paused for a long ti and then looked at him in surprise. “A male secretary?”
