The Warm Breeze Is Not As Warm As You

Mo Jingshen"s expression remained cold as he said, “My life doesn"t require anyone"s interference . Even from my father . ”

“You!” Mo Shaoze glared at him . His gaze shifted to Ji Nuan who was being protected before he narrowed his eyes coldly to say, “You"re h.e.l.l-bent on going against me!”

Mo Jingshen appeared not to have heard anything . He turned back to look at Ji Nuan, his hand gently holding the leg that was hurt earlier . “Is it still hurting?”

Yes, of course, it was . By now, a bruise had most likely formed .

But with the shirt pants covering her, no one could see anything .

Ji Nuan did not show any change in expression . “It"s fine, it"s been so long; it doesn"t hurt anymore . It"s just a small hit against the leg, don"t worry about it . ”

“It was my oversight . ” Mo Jingshen held her hand, gently rubbing her fingers . “It won"t happen again . ”

What bothered Ji Nuan was not the pain in her leg, but that at this moment, she appeared to have stumbled upon the mutual hostility between the father and son .

Mo Jingshen was too good at concealing his feelings; it had actually taken her so long to realize there was such a major problem between the two of them .

“Father . ” Ji Nuan suddenly raised her head . “Although the Ji family"s foundation is indeed not as robust as Miss An"s family, we still command a significant amount of respect within Hai Cheng . If the difference between our family status bothers you, I can work hard to make up for it . The Mo family doesn"t lack in money or power . What you want to see is my ability, isn"t it?”

Mo Shaoze coldly studied her . “So, you do have some self-awareness . I know you"ve taken over two companies from someone"s hands, and you"ve even combined it into some "studio . " Let"s not mention the fact Jing Shen was the one who invested in your studio, let"s talk about you . With so many resources, I don"t see you making a single cent of profit . What right do you have to stand here to speak to me?”

Hearing his words, Ji Nuan smiled .

The property business was in a rut this year; it still needed a period of market surveying . For the path she had chosen, patience was key to its success . If she were to be impatient now, how could she possibly make any profit?

She was not sure if her appropriate att.i.tude earlier had softened Mo Shaoze"s stance against her, but his choice of words could also be taken as an opportunity for her .

“From the sound of it, you"ve already made your own plans . That"s also good . If I can grow before the eyes of Shine Group"s Director, it is also considered a rare honor for me,” Ji Nuan said .

Mo Shaoze narrowed his eyes, scanning her fearless gaze . “Do you know how much liquid funds enter Shine Group by the minute?”

“It"s ten million US dollars,” Mo Shaoze coldly said . “That"s equivalent to seventy million yuan . I"ll give you a week . Can you make that much?”

Ji Nuan pressed Mo Jingshen"s arm down forcefully, confidently replying, “All right . If I can"t earn it within a week, there"s no need to chase me away . I"ll take the initiative to sign the divorce contract and send it to America for you . ”

“Ji Nuan . ” Mo Jingshen abruptly spoke coldly .

Ji Nuan turned to him with a smile . “I can do it! Trust me!”

Mo Jingshen focused on her; his gaze silent yet heavy . He did not say a single word as he brought her away from the living room .

Mo Shaoze stood there, narrowing his eyes coldly .

The condition of seventy million yuan in a week was far too easy . He had only thrown those words out to mock her but had instead given Ji Nuan the upper hand . Before he had realized it, she had tied a dead knot on that seventy million yuan .

Sensing that he had been manipulated by Ji Nuan earlier, Mo Shaoze originally poor expression became worse .

Ji Nuan had just been brought out by Mo Jingshen when she said, “Don"t worry about me . It"s only seventy million yuan . That he didn"t suggest the condition of seven hundred million yuan is already considered the best result for me!”

Mo Jingshen glanced at her and was silent for several seconds before saying, ” You can sell that nearly three hundred thousand square feet of empty land in Xi Min Square . ”

Ji Nuan: “…”

How did he know what she had planned to do so?

The man did not bother to look at the clear suspicion in her eyes, mildly saying, “The properties and land owned by your studio are all located near the areas where city planning and development are set to happen . It"s filled with business opportunities . You"ve been pa.s.sionate about your studio from the beginning and clear-minded enough to seek knowledge . Why would I worry?”

Seeing her slightly dumbstruck expression, Mo Jingshen rubbed her hair, warmly and softly saying, “A year ago, Han Tianyuan spent nearly two hundred million dollars to buy that piece of land . Now it"s under your studio"s name . It doesn"t have the opportunity to increase its value within a year, hence a lot of people think it"s a piece of trash, doomed to sustain losses . ”

Ji Nuan raised her head . “You even know this . Is there anything related to me you don"t know…”

Mo Jingshen held her chin, tilting it up . His black pupils locked onto her gaze as he unhurriedly said, “I wonder as well, what else do I not know about you . ”

For some strange reason, his gaze caused fear to run down Ji Nuan"s back .

With everything that happened in her previous and current life in mind, she raised a hand to rub her ears, avoiding his piercing gaze .

Ji Nuan was happy to accept Mo Shaoze"s conditions .

After all, being protected by Mo Jingshen and the elder was one thing . Achieving the opportunity to speak up in front of Mo Shaoze was a separate matter .

It was true that the piece of land had never been looked upon well . Initially, it was precisely because of that piece of land that Han Tianyuan had to shoulder a large debt from the bank . The unsettled debt was still looming over her studio today . Ji Nuan kept delaying it, and so most people a.s.sumed she was unable to sell off that piece of land .

“Do you already know of the city planning project yet to be released by the town council?” Ji Nuan asked .

Mo Jingshen curved his lips slightly . “It"s not surprising for me to know . The Mo Corporation has always had close relations with Hai Cheng"s businesses and politicians . ”

But for Ji Nuan to know of this unreleased city planning project was not very logical .

Mo Jingshen did not ask . He only silently gazed at her .

Ji Nuan shifted her eyes away, seriously saying, “The square will be rebuilt . The town council building will also be moved there . This means that the prices of the lands and buildings nearby will soar overnight . ”

And so, it was only a small amount of seven hundred million yuan . Ji Nuan knew in her heart she would be able to earn that amount within a week, and it was also according to her original plan to do so .

She could use the opportunity to negotiate with Mo Shaoze without having to compromise her plans . This could be considered killing two birds with one stone .

Seeing the hidden, twinkling glimmer in her eyes, Mo Jingshen said, “Come here . ”

Ji Nuan was deep in thought and had subconsciously taken a few steps forward . Hearing his words, she turned back to glance at him and walked toward his side .
