Mo Corporation.
On the 20th floor, the conference room door opened. The executives from each level of the management filed out of the room. Shen Mu followed behind Mo Jingshen with a stack of documents in his hands. While looking at it, he softly discussed several problematic points from the meeting.
Mo Jingshen then returned to the highest floor, his long legs walking out of the elevator. Secretary An, who was already waiting by the elevator, approached him.
“CEO Mo, the young miss from the Ji family is here. You were having a meeting, so I had her wait in your office.” Secretary An’s smiling expression directly met his gaze.
“The Ji family’s young miss?” Mo Jingshen asked indifferently.
If the person who came were Ji Nuan, An Shuyan would never use such a manner to address her. Even if she refused to address her by Mrs. Mo, she would never use such a term that would easily confuse others.
Secretary An kept smiling warmly. “CEO Mo, the secretary’s room still has some documents to be dealt with. I’ll go and busy myself.”
Mo Jingshen only listened and did not reply. He walked back to his office. The moment he stepped through the door, he saw that ‘Ji family’s young miss.’
Ji Mengran was currently in the CEO’s office, arranging the documents on his desk. There was also a cup of freshly brewed coffee on his desk.
Mo Jingshen’s expression was as indifferent as ice. “What are you doing here?”
Ji Mengran raised her head to smile at him. “Brother Jing Shen, have you been very busy?”
Mo Jingshen stood in front of the office door. The door was opened, but he did not enter. His tone became even icier. “This isn’t a place you can enter, get out!”
Ji Mengran arranged the stack of documents, obediently placing it back down in its original position.
She then raised her eyes to look at him. “Earlier on, I only thought of waiting for you here. Since I had the time, I helped you to tidy up a bit. And I saw that you didn’t even have a cup of coffee, so I personally brewed one for you. Quickly taste it. I’m not sure if you prefer Americano or…”
Mo Jingshen’s brows furrowed sternly. “The Mo Corporation doesn’t lack in secretaries or assistants. This kind of work doesn’t need to be done by you. I rarely drink coffee in the office. You can leave now.”
Ji Mengran appeared not to have heard his intention to chase her out. She backed away from his desk but approached the door. While walking, she obediently said, “I know that my sister has been spoiled growing up. She definitely won’t be willing to do such a thing. Since I had the time, I did it for you.”
Between her words, she faltered for a moment, her gaze fixed on his body. “Brother Jing Shen, I can explain what happened at the Mo family home that day!”
Mo Jingshen knitted his brows.
Ji Mengran bit her lip. “I really didn’t have any bad intentions. I only carelessly said something wrong. Even though, my sister forcefully slapped me three times. I accepted it. I’ve never committed any mistakes since I was young, and the moment I did something wrong, she slapped me so painfully. Today, I only wanted…”
After being confined at home for several days, she finally had the opportunity to leave the Ji home while Ji Hongwen left for Lin City to discuss a partnership. Shen Heru was not too strict in watching her.
Ji Mengran considered the past few days carefully. Since Ji Nuan laid things out so clearly that day, she no longer needed to act like she used to. If she wanted to obtain this man, she had to be adaptable. As long as she was determined, she refused to believe that Mo Jingshen would not see her sincerity.
“Three slaps? It seems like Ji Nuan held back. Just based on your actions today of ‘arriving uninvited,’ even ten slaps would be well deserved.” Mo Jingshen cut her off expressionlessly.
Ji Mengran tolerated the injustice she felt in her heart. After choking for a moment, she said, “Don’t you think that Ji Nuan has changed a lot? In the past, her words and actions were always straightforward. She never hid any of her intentions. But right now, everything that she does appears to have hidden motives. She seems to be hiding a lot of thoughts! I suspect that she definitely has plans she cannot share for becoming close to you. Brother Jing Shen, you can’t be fooled by her!”
She knew that Mo Jingshen would not readily believe in her. However, Ji Mengran still wanted to remind him that Ji Nuan’s change was definitely not that simple.
After so long, she refused to believe that he never once suspected Ji Nuan’s change.
Mo Jingshen lips curved up imperceptibly. Although he smiled, it was cold and contained no warmth whatsoever.
Ji Mengran instinctually felt nervous.
“The Ji family’s second young miss came to my place to sow discord, and the target of this is actually her own birth sister. Is this the so-called Ji family’s upbringing?”
Ji Mengran calmed herself, smiling with meaning. “Our Ji family’s upbringing… Brother Jing Shen, can’t you see it clearly on my sister?”
Mo Jingshen’s lips curved even more, but his gaze became even icier.
Ji Mengran did not meet his gaze straight on. “Clearly, Ji Nuan has always been the one to stir up messes in front of you. Brother Jing Shen, you are so good. She completely doesn’t deserve the sheltering you give her! In the past, she’s never showed any great upbringing in front of you. So how exactly is Ji Nuan good?”
“If you had half the awareness and upbringing that Ji Nuan has, you wouldn’t have thoughts about your own sister’s husband,” Mo Jingshen’s thin lips spat out these ice-cold words sternly. “Get lost!”
Ji Mengran’s face turned red and then white. She was frozen for some time before biting down on her lip harshly. “Brother Jing Shen, I just wanted to chat more with you! I didn’t have any other intentions! Liking someone is not wrong! Not to mention, back then Ji Nuan married you unwilling! It’s only an alliance marriage! If I had been a year older, the person you married could have been me!”
Mo Jingshen coldly and indifferently asked, “Did you think I would take whichever fiancée the Mo family forces on me?”
Ji Mengran heard the meaning behind his words and darkly furrowed her brows.
What he meant was that, if it were not Ji Nuan, he would not have agreed to the marriage?
She took in a deep breath before suddenly turning toward the desk to pick up the cup of coffee. She approached him earnestly. “Brother Jing Shen, regardless of how you think, I’ve already said everything I want to say. This is the coffee I brewed. Try it!”
Mo Jingshen did not move.
Ji Mengran was determined. “It’s delicious! I remember that in that past, Ji Nuan didn’t even know how to brew a cup of coffee! I search my own soul and know that I don’t lose to Ji Nuan in every area. I’m also willing to become better for you. Right now, we don’t completely know what intentions Ji Nuan has. I’m worried that one day you’ll be hurt by her…”
The coffee was sent over, but Mo Jingshen did not receive it. He did not even appear to want to raise his hand.
His tone was extremely detached. “I don’t hit women. Do you want to get lost yourself, or should I send the Mo Corporation guards up?”
Ji Mengran did not show any intention to leave as she continued staring at him with wide eyes.
At this moment, the sound of high heels against the floor approached.
Mo Jingshen slanted his eyes to glance at the approaching Secretary An, his gaze deep and cold. “Was this person let in by you?”
