Hai City
It was only a few months, but it felt like half a lifetime had pa.s.sed.
As soon as they came back, Mo Jingshen went straight to the Mo Corporation. He didn’t go back to the Yu Garden and just ignored Ji Nuan.
Ji Nuan went back to the Yu Garden to put down the luggage, planning to go to the Ji family home. Before she came back, she knew that Ji Hongwen had left the hospital. The Ji Corporation was recently being managed by the deputy general manager since Ji Hongwen would have to rest at home for some time.
She called Mo Jingshen before going back to the Ji family, only to find his private phone turned off.
There weren’t many people calling his private number. Even if Grandfather Mo called him, he would just call his work phone, his office phone, or the phone of the Yu Garden.
Only she would call this private number.
She called Shen Mu, who told her that after Mo Jingshen went to the company, he went straight into the conference room and didn’t come out for a long time. There were many shelved problems that needed to be dealt with.
Ji Nuan didn’t receive Mo Jingshen’s call the whole afternoon. Even if Shen Mu told him that she had called him, he didn’t call her back.
Ji Hongwen went back to the Ji family before nightfall. Ji Hongwen’s health had improved a lot. She hadn’t come back for about half a year since she went to T City. There still wasn’t any news about Ji Mengran. It had only been half a year, but Ji Hongwen looked as if he was ten years older.
Shen Mu said that President Mo would probably hold a meeting overnight tonight, and it was uncertain whether the meeting would be finished before noon tomorrow, so she didn’t plan to go back tonight and would stay with Ji Hongwen in the Ji family home.
Shen Heru had been driven away. It was said that Sheng Yihan picked her up soon after she was evicted. Sure enough, she and her son hadn’t really broken off their relations.h.i.+p all these years.
Ji Hongwen still needed a period of rest. Ji Nuan found out that he read the airline news before he went to bed. Although he never mentioned it, Ji Mengran was his own daughter. She had been missing for so long, and there was no news. She has not even been confirmed to be really dead. He had actually been worrying about her.
She checked the related news before she went to sleep and found that Ji Mengran really seemed to have disappeared from the earth. There was no news about her. Her name was not on the list of victims of the crash, nor was it even mentioned at subsequent airline conferences.
While Mo Jingshen held meetings in the company, Ji Hongwen rested in the Ji family home. Ji Hongwen was able to get out of bed occasionally because of her return and company. In the warm spring, Ji Nuan helped him walk around the Ji family’s front yard or pushed him in a wheelchair to the nearby mall, store, supermarket, park, and other places to relax. After a week, Ji Hongwen’s physical and mental condition was a lot better, and he decided to return to the company after resting for a few more days.
Ji Nuan took the time to go to the studio. At night, she was pulled by Xia Tian and Xiao Ba to eat a lot of things downstairs in the studio, and her stomach almost burst. After she drove back to the Yu Garden, Auntie Chen asked her if she wanted something to eat. She rubbed her stomach and shook her head. “No, I ate too much. Now I can’t even drink a mouthful of water.”
Auntie Chen smiled and asked her to take a stroll around Yu Garden to digest the food since the weather was good tonight, but Ji Nuan knew that Mo Jingshen didn’t continue the meeting today and thought that he would return to the Yu Garden today. However, she went upstairs and searched for the study and the bedrooms but didn’t find him.
“Mo Jingshen hasn’t been back these days?” Ji Nuan asked.
“No.
“Did he come back during my absence?”
“No.”
He had been back to Hai City for a week. It was understandable that he had to work overtime and hold meetings. But today, since he didn’t have to attend meetings, he didn’t even plan to go back to the Yu Garden?
Was he trying to avoid meeting her?
Ji Nuan thought for a while. Although she didn’t know if he was really busy, and she wasn’t the kind of person who was used to making phone calls, she picked up her cell phone and called Mo Jingshen.
His private phone was still turned off.
She called his office phone.
The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered. But now that Shen Mu was off work, she didn’t want to disturb him. She hesitated and walked out without even taking off her coat or changing her shoes.
“Alas, Mrs. Mo, are you leaving? But you just got back.” Auntie Chen finally saw the madam coming back, so after seeing Ji Nuan leaving, she hurriedly chased out and asked in worry.
“I’m going to Mo Corporation,” Ji Nuan said and went to the parking lot, driving off in a car.
Seeing Ji Nuan drive away, Auntie Chen stood still and sighed.
Although Mrs. Mo didn’t live in the Yu Garden these days, if it were before, Mr. Mo would surely call back to ask her if Mrs. Mo had returned to the Yu Garden, but during the days Mrs. Mo stayed in the Ji family, not only had Mr. Mo not returned to the Yu Garden, he had not even called.
The white Audi was speeding down the road, and it wouldn’t take long to reach the Mo Corporation. Ji Nuan pulled up, got out of the car, closed the door, and stood for a moment in the square opposite the Mo Corporation’s building, looking at the top floor, which was unlit.
She hesitated before going into the security room and asked if Mo Jingshen was in the company. The people in the security room knew her and knew that she was Mrs. Mo, so they answered truthfully, “President Mo is not in the company.”
“He’s not in the company? Where did he go? I saw that his car is still here.” She took a look at the familiar black Ghost in the parking lot.
“President Mo has held meetings in succession for several days and can finally take a rest today. He planned to live in the adjacent room of the office. However, some time ago, the office gla.s.s on each floor of the company was reinforced, and some simple new decoration was carried out. There might be some smell of solidified glue and so on, so he did not stay.”
“OK, thank you.” Ji Nuan didn’t ask anymore. She turned and walked down the steps. Then she looked in the direction of Ao Lan International, not far from the Mo Corporation.
The only place she knew where he lived beside the Yu Garden was Ao Lan International, which was nearest to here on foot.
She didn’t drive the car and turned to walk in that direction. As she crossed the street, she saw the fruit store across the road. Then she saw the supermarket downstairs the apartment building and went in to buy some fruit and food. In the supermarket, the landlady clearly remembered her when she handed over the money.
After all, he had come here with her, when he bought some onions, ginger, and garlic and handed out a black card to the landlady.
After shopping, Ji Nuan entered the apartment building, got into the elevator, and went upstairs.
She reached Mo Jingshen’s floor, walked out, and found the apartment door was closed. Although she knew the code and could unlock the door with her fingerprint, she raised her hand and rang the doorbell.
Less than a minute later, the door was opened, and Mo Jingshen, who had just taken a bath, had come out with only a towel around his lower body. His pitch-black hair was still dripping with water. Obviously, he had just come out of the bathroom—
