Ji Nuan managed to walk away from the rest area where Mo Jingshen was sitting, regardless of other people’s pleasantries or wooing.
There was a group of people playing bowling on the other side. Seeing that Ji Nuan seemed to have taken a rest, they beckoned her to come and play bowling with them.
Ji Mengran was also there talking and laughing with people, holding a bowling ball as if she was about to play bowling.
The one who beckoned her here asked her how well she played bowling, and she still said she didn’t play bowling well.
However, after she played several rounds, Ji Mengran, no longer arrogant and elated, turned pale, because every round her score was higher than hers. Although Ji Nuan wasn’t as professional as to have a strike, her score was the highest of all. Compared with her, Ji Mengran was like a rookie.
There were many kinds of sports available in the afternoon. There weren’t many people on the beach at the moment, so they got a volleyball net and were about to play beach volleyball.
Ji Mengran provocatively asked Ji Nuan to play beach volleyball with her. When the others asked Ji Mengran how well she played beach volleyball, she smiled. “Just so so.”
No one took her answer seriously. They didn’t PK this time but watched the wonderful “performance” of the Ji sisters on the beach.
Every time Ji Mengran lost, Ji Nuan was always the winner.
As a woman, Ji Nuan was already very successful in her career, especially this year where she gained many achievements. Besides, she was a gorgeous woman, so most of the men present were in her favor. Seeing that Ji Nuan was almost good at everything but remained low-key and modest, many men had fallen for her and cheered her on in their hearts.
It was late afternoon on the beach.
Under the afterglow of the sunset, Ji Nuan was still wearing the previous clothes, casually rubbing her wrist and looking at Ji Mengran across the volleyball net.
To show herself well, Ji Mengran changed into tight sportswear for the convenience of exercise.
However, as soon as Ji Mengran served the ball, Ji Nuan lifted her hand and returned the ball with ease, hard and fast, with no intention of giving her face.
Ji Mengran jumped very high but still couldn’t catch the ball. She angrily turned to pick the ball up amid laughter. On her next serve, she hit the ball hard towards Ji Nuan.
Ji Nuan gave a cold smile and dodged the ball. This was just a recreational activity in a resort, but Ji Mengran looked like she wanted to kill her. Ji Nuan didn’t want to tolerate her anymore. After all, this wasn’t a professional compet.i.tion. She let the ball roll to her feet, then raised it on the tip of her toe and, as she tossed it, shot the ball that was stained with sand, in Ji Mengran’s face.
Ji Mengran was going to catch the ball, but the ball shot directly toward her face. She wanted to dodge it but couldn’t. She winced her neck and turned her face away but was still struck on the head by the ball and fell to the ground in an instant.
Being hit by a volleyball, she might ache but wouldn’t be injured. Besides, the beach was very soft. However, Ji Nuan hit with her full strength. Almost stunned by the hit, Ji Mengran lay on the ground for more than ten seconds before she slowly got up.
The crowd booed. They had expected an exceptional performance from Ji Mengran, but she made a fool of herself again.
No one was stupid. They might not know the real relations.h.i.+p between the two sisters in the beginning, but after Ji Mengran picked on and provoked Ji Nuan over and over again, everyone could tell Ji Mengran was jealous of Ji Nuan and tried to humiliate Ji Nuan in public.
She was obviously not as excellent as Ji Nuan but desperate to prove she was better than her sister. The two sisters were like clouds and muds in personality.
“CEO Ji, stop playing. The sea is about to rise. Let’s leave the beach.”
“There’s really nothing interesting to see, isn’t it? Let’s go.”
Ji Nuan had no intention of continuing to fight with Ji Mengran. Glancing at Ji Mengran, who had just got up from the ground and glared at her with bloodshot eyes, she turned smartly and walked away with the crowd.

When she got back to the gym, there were not as many people in it as there had been in the previous few hours. A lot of people had gone back to their rooms for rest.
Ji Nuan wondered if she should go back to her room too. Anyway, she was staying one more night. After going back, she only needed to write some feedback and suggestions on the resort in the name of MN Group. There was no need to waste too much time here.
Sheng Yihan went to the beach and brought back Ji Mengran, who was still angry. Although he didn’t like Ji Mengran’s nasty temper, it would be a disgrace to him and the Sheng family, leaving Ji Mengran here making a fool of herself.
“CEO Ji.” Sheng Yihan asked Ji Mengran to go to the other side to take a rest and drink some water, and a moment later, he stopped Ji Nuan on her way to leave the gym.
Ji Nuan stopped and looked at the man in front. Before he spoke, she guessed what he had stopped her for. Ji Mengran, who was brought here by Sheng Yihan, made a fool of herself here today over and over again. Although he didn’t care about Ji Mengran, he still felt embarra.s.sed.
Ji Nuan didn’t speak, but her eyes had turned cold.
Sheng Yihan smiled at her and said in a voice that only she could hear, “It seems that you have learned a lot during your three years in London, especially the skills needed in the business circle. Mengran was being stupid to provoke you. She is in the wrong, but she was brought here by me. You humiliated her over and over again, which made me look bad. Don’t you think so?”
Ji Nuan glanced at him. “President Sheng, what do you want? I’ve been to this gym all afternoon. Even if I’m in good health, I’m tired. I can’t be engaged in an ‘attrition war’ with you. Do you want to play a game with me? I’m sorry I can’t do that with you. I’m not an athlete. This is a resort, and we come here to play golf, bowling, and other sports to relax. I’m not interested in playing games with you guys over and over again.”
“Are you tired or you just don’t want to have any contact with me?”
