Chapter 554: She Emptied the Gla.s.s of Champagne Mo Jingshen Forbade Her Drinking…

When Mo Jingshen saw that Ji Nuan had finished her cake, he handed her another plate.
Ji Nuan took it, took a bite of the cake, chewed it slowly, mumbling, “CEO Mo, haven’t you noticed that someone’s eyes have been glued to you ever since you walked into the banquet hall?”
Mo Jingshen took the gla.s.s from the waiter and didn’t look anywhere else. He had been standing beside her and had not moved more than three meters from her, either just now or before.
“Really? Do you mean yourself?” He sounded unconcerned and looked at her again.
She resisted the urge to roll her eyes. “Don’t you know if I was busy eating cake or watching you?”
He laughed. “Don’t you dare say you didn’t look at me.”
Ji Nuan: “…”
She did look at him.
She looked at the crowd again and found that the one who had been looking at Mo Jingshen had disappeared. She couldn’t help raising her eyebrows and then turned her eyes to Mo Jingshen who looked indifferent. Obviously, he was not ignorant of what she said, but he didn’t want to pay attention to it.
Oh, what a pity.
Looked like another girl’s unrequited love for him.
Ji Nuan didn’t know much about his life in the past three years, nor did she know whether he was familiar with the people in the capital, but from the att.i.tude of these people toward Mo Jingshen, they should be very familiar.
So there should be a lot of things she didn’t know about the “Capital Circle.”
As she thought, she took another bite of the cake and drank a gla.s.s of champagne from the waiter.
She had just brought the champagne to her lips when a young man came over. The man said something to Mo Jingshen as he came nearer, and then she vaguely heard he asked, “CEO Mo, can I have a moment with you?”
Ji Nuan could not help looking up at the man. He seemed to be standing with the beautiful woman who had been looking at Mo Jingshen.
Mo Jingshen coldly glanced at the man. “If you have anything to say, just say it right here.”
The man’s face darkened, but then he smiled. “CEO Mo, Rong Corporation have been friends with s.h.i.+ne Group for several years. Two years ago, my sister went to Hai City to work after graduation. She stayed in s.h.i.+ne for a long time and you took very good care of her. We finally meet again. Even if you don’t want to give me, a business partner, face, you should give some face to my sister.”
Mo Jingshen had no intention of going with him, saying placidly, “Miss Rong entered s.h.i.+ne as an intern by virtue of her own high education and personal ability. During the one year she worked at s.h.i.+ne, I was in the United States and returned to China only three times a year. How could I possibly take care of her?”
The brother of Miss Rong laughed. “In fact, we had the opportunity to cooperate with s.h.i.+ne thanks to my sister. She was unwilling to work in Beijing after graduation, so she ran away from home and went to Hai City. She pretended that she had no background and managed to work in the s.h.i.+ne Group with her own ability. That’s how we got to know each other.”
With his well-shaped fingers, Mo Jingshen placed the gla.s.s in his hand on the waiter’s tray and glanced at Ji Nuan again, who sat there watching with interest. He glanced at the gla.s.s in her hand. He just didn’t look at her for a moment and she picked up her gla.s.s again. Was she going to get drunk on champagne?
His cold eyes fell on Ji Nuan’s face and became much gentler, and he said indifferently to the man beside him, “We just have some business cooperation and nothing else. CEO Rong, you think too much.”
Just then, a pretty and gentle-looking woman in a white evening dress came over. She looked about twenty-three or twenty-four, about Ji Nuan’s age. She seemed to have been waiting for Mo Jingshen for a long time but he didn’t go toward her, so she just summoned the courage to come. Her eyes were full of the surprise of seeing him again and the love she could not hide.
The people in the banquet hall began to whisper. They were mostly from the capital and the story of Rong Yan, the second daughter of the Rong family, was almost known to all in the circle.
It was said that Rong Yan returned to China after she graduated from Boston University. She had been an obedient girl since her childhood. However, after graduation, she went to Los Angeles for an interns.h.i.+p for several months, and then she didn’t want to stay in Beijing anymore. She insisted on returning to the United States to work, but her family did not agree, took away her pa.s.sport, and didn’t allow her to go abroad again.
She had always been an obedient girl, but this time, she ran away from home in a fit of anger and went to Hai City, where she hid her family background and entered the s.h.i.+ne Group as a student who had just graduated from abroad. As she had several months ‘experience as an intern in the s.h.i.+ne Group of the US, she was soon recruited and entered the company. It was said that she only worked as an intern at the very beginning, but she still worked hard in Hai City and refused to return to Beijing.
No one knew what she was waiting for, but it was said that when Mo Jingshen came back to Hai City from the United States several times during that year, Rong Yan kept close to him as an intern a.s.sistant, serving tea and pouring water. She worked really hard and stayed at s.h.i.+ne for more than a year.
It wasn’t hard to guess that she stayed in Hai City, hiding her real family background and serving as a small intern, just for Mo Jingshen.
Then Rong Yan’s brother, Rong Cheng, now the general manager of the Rong Corporation, went to Hai City on a business trip and found out that she worked there. When Rong Cheng went to Hai City at that time, Mo Jingshen was in China, and they forced Rong Yan back to Beijing in front of Mo Jingshen.
After being brought back to Beijing, Rong Yan made a scene for quite a while. It was said that she was on hunger strike and kept crying, trying every means to go to Los Angeles or Hai City, but her family didn’t allow her, a young lady of note in the capital, to cheapen herself in pursuit of a man. Even if the man whom she was after was Mo Jingshen, she would not be allowed to pursue a man in such way.
Now after more than a year, Mo Jingshen had finally returned to China and came to Beijing.
Hearing the whispers of those people, Ji Nuan had had a rough idea of the humble courts.h.i.+p story of this princess of the “Capital Circle.” Then, deadpan, she emptied the gla.s.s of champagne Mo Jingshen forbade her from drinking just now.
