Xiao Luye, sitting beside her, casually exchanged pleasantries with her. “Recently, there have been a lot of big events in Beijing, such as banquets and financial symposiums. Many big shots gathered in Beijing and many people want to come to Beijing to attend these events but aren’t eligible. Did Mo Jingshen bring you here?”
In fact, Ji Nuan didn’t want to mention Mo Jingshen now. She still wore concealer on her neck and wore long-sleeved clothes and long pants. She sat under the air conditioner all the time in case her sweat might wash off the concealer and expose the hickeys. Then even if she said she had nothing to do with Mo Jingshen, no one would believe her.
But she did come to Beijing because of Mo Jingshen.
So she nodded.
Seeing Ji Nuan nod, Xiao Luye raised her eyebrows and smiled. Rong Cheng’s face grew even darker.
“Since MN Group has settled in China, it’s not bad for you to visit Beijing once in a while. If you come to Beijing in the future and both Mo Jingshen and I are not available, you can come to CEO Rong.” Then Xiao Luye turned his eyes to Rong Cheng and smiled. “CEO Rong is one of the most famous young, successful businessmen in Beijing. The Rong Corporation is one of the most renowned companies in China, let alone the Rong family. With his power, it’s easy for him to find you some business partners in Beijing or help you gain a place in the ‘Capital Circle.’”
Rong Cheng glanced at Xiao Luye and heard him continued, “CEO Rong, we’ve been friends for years. If my sister comes to Beijing in the future, please take care of her for me.”
Rong Cheng raised his eyebrows. “Sister? When have you got a sister? Is CEO Ji your adopted sister?”
When Ji Nuan heard Xiao Luye call her ‘sister’, her skin crawled.
But Xiao Luye smiled casually. “Sort of. CEO Rong, we all know that you ardently love your sister and have been taking care of her since her childhood. Although I’m an only child, I also want to have a sister to take care of. Ji Nuan is stubborn, but she is a nice person. My father is also very fond of her and always wants to call her to come to our home and have dinner with us, but she said she didn’t want to cause any misunderstanding, so she barely told people about our relations.h.i.+p.”
Hearing Xiao Luye said that his father was very fond of Ji Nuan, Rong Cheng took a look at Ji Nuan.
Ji Nuan hadn’t contacted Mr. Xiao Zhenjun since last time she met him. Although she didn’t ask him, nor did he tell her anything, the truth had been self-evident.
Sister?
Haha, who is his sister?
Rong Cheng smiled with a sneer. “I didn’t know CEO Ji is so close to the Xiao family. Then we are also friends. Miss Ji, you can come to Beijing more often in the future. You are of a marriageable age. You should just move on and let bygones be bygones. I’ll introduce you to some young men suitable for you. Don’t worry.”
Ji Nuan put down the little fork in his hand, smiled, and said lazily, “CEO Rong, why do you care about my personal life? Why are you, a CEO of a listed company, so idle as to poke your nose into others’ affairs?”
Ji Nuan didn’t want to be polite to him anymore. Xiao Luye took a look at Ji Nuan’s delicate and fair-skinned face and turned his eyes to Rong Cheng with a smile, saying mildly, “Yes, CEO Rong cares so much about your affairs. Has he started a marriage agency recently? But CEO Rong, I advise you to give up. This business is not easy to do. Or else, you may end up lifting a rock only to drop it on your own feet and making no money.”
Rong Cheng slightly raised his eyebrows and the smile on his lips grew bigger and colder.
He thought Xiao Luye just didn’t want to see Ji Nuan being bullied by him, so he came here to help her out.
But he didn’t expect that the heir of the Xiao family who always kept himself out of others’ affairs would taunt him.
It seemed that Ji Nuan was somewhat important to the Xiao family. Although Ji Nuan’s biological father remained unknown, now it seemed that…
Interesting.
Rong Cheng gave a big smile. “Yes, this business is not easy to do. Sometimes, you don’t know whether the woman you introduce to others is ‘second-handed’ or not. If she had a divorce but still pretends to be a virgin, the man who is cheated by her will be so mad at me.”
He picked up the paper towel under the plate on the table and wiped his hands. “What did you guys do upstairs? Were you playing cards? CEO Xiao, did you escape here because you lost too much at cards? But you’ve been out for too long. Your card partners must be impatient.”
Xiao Luye slightly raised his pitch-black eyes and looked at Rong Cheng who was about to eat. He gave a chilly smile, played with the coffee cup on the table with his nicely-shaped fingers, and gently tapped on it.
Then he looked at Ji Nuan, only to see her remain deadpan and indifferent.
Ji Nuan was born a beauty, but she always looked aloof and composed as if her mood wouldn’t be affected by any personal attacks. She was so n.o.ble, proud, and unreachable.
Even if the one who attacked her was Rong Cheng.
She just ate the cake Xiao Luye gave her and didn’t even touch the expensive dishes on the table.
Although Rong Cheng was angered by Xiao Luye’s words and said insulting words to Ji Nuan, Ji Nuan didn’t seem to be affected by his words at all. Regretting losing his manners, Rong Cheng gradually calmed down and said coldly, “It seems that CEO Ji has no appet.i.te. Since you’re here, why don’t you go upstairs and play cards with us? You’ve been so successful in your career and I don’t think your luck will be bad. Perhaps you can win millions from the card game in minutes.”
With that, Rong Cheng directly got up and called the waiter to tell the people upstairs that a friend wanted to join them.
Ji Nuan drank the juice and ate the cake. Seeing Rong Cheng go upstairs, she coldly smiled and asked casually, “CEO Xiao, may I reject joining them?”
Xiao Luye glanced at her. “You little troublemaker. How did you mess with Rong Cheng?”
Ji Nuan bit the straw and answered expressionlessly, “Didn’t you hear what he said? His sister had been pursuing Mo Jingshen for a long while. He found out about my existence and thought I was in Miss Rong’s way, so he’s trying to get rid of me.”
