Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Apologize?
Right now, Ji Nuan’s temper could actually be considered good. If it had been before, she might have already raised her purse and smashed it on the heads of this pair of siblings.
Apologize? Apologize her a.s.s!
It seemed like the staff members who had left were secretly biased toward Miss Rong. After they left, they informed the security. Within several minutes, a few security officers appeared. As Jing City locals, they naturally recognized Rong Cheng. When they saw the situation and noticed Rong Cheng supporting Rong Yan to stand up, they all rushed to bow toward him respectfully. “General Manager Rong, we heard that there was a situation here. Did something happen?”
Rong Cheng’s expression was heavy.”Nothing much. But this CEO Ji pushed my sister down for no good reason. I wanted to have a good discussion with her, but she seems very unhappy.”
Hearing this, the security officers subconsciously moved to surround Ji Nuan from behind, as though they were afraid she would escape. Although they did not do anything toward her, they blocked her path unrelentingly.
At this moment, Ji Nuan was tightly surrounded by these people.
Her expression turned cold. The Jing City’s Rong family… was truly despicable.
Were they taking advantage of the fact that this was their place to be unreasonable?
All of a sudden, a gap appeared between the wall the Rong Corporation’s siblings and the security officers had built. A black, tall silhouette appeared. Mo Jingshen’s expression was slightly cold as he easily moved through them to approach her. As he stood before Ji Nuan, he noticed that her complexion wasn’t good. Even though she had fixed her makeup earlier, he understood her too well and could easily notice the hint of exhaustion and discomfort from her period in her ice-cold gaze.
“What happened?” The man’s voice landed on the top of her head, but it was clear the question was directed at the people behind him.
They did not expect CEO Mo to appear. Although Mo Jingshen wasn’t a Jing City local, there was no one here who did not know of him. In a place like Jing City, everyone hoped to be able to please CEO Mo. The security officers hesitated for a moment. Both sides were people they could not afford to offend. They decided not to partic.i.p.ate any longer and took several steps back. No one dared to speak up.
When Rong Yan noticed Mo Jingshen’s appearance, her expression changed as well. Rong Cheng, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes coldly. It was clear that he was unhappy.
Ji Nuan stood against the wall without speaking, and Mo Jingshen directly reached his arm out to hold her waist. His low and heavy voice was patient and gentle. “In the future, do I have to send someone to follow you even when you use the restroom? It seems like I should really bring Feng Ling back from Nanheng’s side. I’ll only be able to set my heart at ease with her constantly by your side.”
As he spoke, he noticed a crease in Ji Nuan’s dress. It was clear that someone had tugged on it with force. His gaze turned cold in an instant as he finally turned his eyes toward the Rong Corporation’s siblings.
Rong Yan watched as Mo Jingshen held Ji Nuan’s waist. The silent intimacy, as though he was indicating to Ji Nuan that she could depend on him for everything, made her heart feel stifled. She watched him with reddened eyes, unable to suppress the sour feeling in her heart. “Mr. Mo…”
Mo Jingshen glanced at her; his gaze did not contain any warmth whatsoever.
A hint of unhappiness appeared in Rong Cheng’s gaze. He smiled coldly. “CEO Mo, although I’m not sure how this CEO Ji is related to you, earlier she pushed Rong Yan onto the ground. I haven’t said much about Rong Yan’s injured ankle and only requested an apology. Is that too much to ask for?”
Mo Jingshen lowered his gaze. “You pushed her?”
It was clearly a rhetorical question. From his tone alone, it was obvious he did not think she would commit such a stupid action.
Ji Nuan coldly rolled her eyes. “No. She fell down on her own. She wouldn’t let go of my arm so I lost patience and pushed her away. In the end, we both fell down. I twisted my ankle as well, but I didn’t even say anything. It’s not as if I can’t walk. I just don’t know why this Miss Rong has been sitting unmoving on the ground this whole time.”
Mo Jingshen’s gaze immediately s.h.i.+fted back to Rong Cheng. He did not look at Rong Yan further. It was clear that in this situation, the one who insisted on provoking Ji Nuan was Rong Cheng.
“General Manager Rong, did you hear that?”
Rong Cheng was immediately angered into chuckling. “CEO Mo, it seems like the relations.h.i.+p between CEO Ji and you really isn’t simple. Have you ever met someone who would admit to their own wrongdoings? Earlier at the evening party, she had been watching Rong Yan the whole time. The moment Rong Yan went to the restroom, she followed in as well. By the time I came, Rong Yan was sitting on the floor and her eyes were red, while CEO Ji’s expression was cold and arrogant like a peac.o.c.k. I truly find it hard to believe that she didn’t push her.”
Mo Jingshen was unperturbed as he watched him. “If she says she didn’t do it, it means she didn’t do it. If I’m not wrong, she should have requested for you to check the surveillance camera feed but you refused to do so?”
Rong Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
He did not expect him to understand Ji Nuan so well.
2Seeing his expression, Mo Jingshen calmly lifted one corner of his lips. “If General Manager Rong insist on putting it that way, you should ask Miss Rong what exactly happened. Otherwise, you can check the surveillance cameras. The two clear options are placed before your eyes yet you refuse them. It’s clear that your goal is not to know the truth, nor is it to seek justice. You purely wish to tell her that when it comes to the people the Rong family wants to target, there’s no need for logic, nor is there a need for you to consider the consequences. So long as you are unhappy with her, you can block off all her paths anytime.”
Mo Jingshen’s voice was mild, as though it did not contain any emotions. However, it was low and cold to the point of causing one’s heart to tremble.
Rong Cheng’s gaze turned heavy.
Rong Yan watched the way Mo Jingshen’s hand remained on Ji Nuan’s waist the whole time. She closed her eyes and raised her hand to tug on Rong Cheng’s sleeve carefully. “Brother, it wasn’t Miss Ji who pushed me. It’s true that I fell on my own.”
Mo Jingshen was expressionless. “Heard that?”
Even as he spoke, his gaze had already s.h.i.+fted away from the siblings. He turned toward Ji Nuan. “Did you say that you twisted your ankle? Which side is it? Is it serious?”
Ji Nuan did not look at him, and only neatened her gown casually. “It’s fine. I only twisted it for a moment. It won’t affect my walking.”
Before she could finish her words, she was abruptly lifted into a princess carry.
Ji Nuan’s voice became stuck in her throat from his abrupt action. Mo Jingshen had already s.h.i.+fted his long legs and did not waste any time speaking nonsense to the people here. He carried her in the direction of the elevator ahead.
The entire hotel had been booked by the organizers, and all of the rooms upstairs could be used as they pleased. The luxurious, traditional style elevator doors opened and closed.
Rong Cheng watched as Mo Jingshen actually carried that Ji Nuan to leave and was deeply angered. He turned to see that Rong Yan was staring in the direction of the elevator, and immediately mocked her coldly, “You clearly know that Mo Jingshen is intent on protecting her, yet you still spoke that way? Are you that blinded by your obsession with Mo Jingshen? The moment you saw him, you even changed your words to protect him?”
