Ji Nuan had no idea what happened outside.
More than ten minutes later, Mo Jingshen came in and took her away.
Most of the people in the corridor had left. Mo Jingshen’s suit jacket was worn by Ji Nuan. She heard Mo Jingshen whispered to her, “You don’t have to say anything. Let’s just leave.”
However, Ji Mengran was still standing there silently while biting her lips hard; her eyes were full of hatred for Ji Nuan.
She dared not do anything to Ji Nuan as Mo Jingshen was present.
At this moment, she was like a buffoon, being a disgrace yet glaring at others and clenching her teeth.
Ji Nuan walked past her. The two women seemed to be in peace, but the undercurrent was surging.
Walking past Ji Mengran, Ji Nuan suddenly stopped and looked back at her, asking flatly, “So, Mengran, we’re no longer sisters, are we?”
If what she said was true, that Ji Nuan’s mother married Ji Hongwen after being pregnant with her, then Ji Hongwen was not her father. They were not even half-sisters. She used to take Ji Mengran as her most intimate blood relative, but now it turned out that she was wrong.
Ji Nuan spoke expressionlessly, but her pitch-black eyes and the expression in her eyes looked a bit intimidating to some people, especially those who just set her up.
“Have you ever taken me as your sister?” Although Ji Mengran felt a bit guilty, she still straightened up.
After getting no response from Ji Nuan, Ji Mengran was going to speak when Sheng Yihan suddenly cast her a cold glance, and she immediately shut up and bit her lips hard.
Ji Nuan turned up the corners of her lips and gave her a cold smile. “No, I haven’t, but you never took me as your sister either. In this world, the most intimate people can be enemies in a flash, and blood relatives can become strangers. Okay, then from now on, Mengran, I won’t be polite to you.”
“You…” Ji Mengran didn’t understand what Ji Nuan meant by saying this, but she dared not do anything to Ji Nuan in front of Sheng Yihan because she was worried that the latter would be angry at her and stop helping her after they came back to Hai City. She looked at Ji Nuan’s back and fell into a reverie. Although Ji Nuan said those words lightly, Ji Mengran felt a chill from the depth of her heart.
Mo Jingshen gazed at the receding figure of Ji Nuan under the light of the corridor. She looked relieved as if she had finally abandoned something that she had long been hesitating whether she should give up or not. He narrowed his eyes and said coldly to his men behind him, “Send Miss Ji Mengran to Mr. Ji. This sort of family trifle should be solved by the Ji family themselves. The Sheng Family people, as outsiders, better not meddle in this matter.”
Mo Jingshen indifferently glanced at Sheng Yihan who was still smiling.
The corridor was quiet.
“No, I’m not going to my father. I want to go with Brother Sheng…”
“Shut up.” Mo Jingshen snapped and silently threw her a cold, domineering glance.
Ji Mengran’s shoulders shuddered.
At this time, Mo Jingshen’s cell phone rang. He took it out expressionlessly, took a look at the screen, and picked up the call. “What’s up?”
The other side of the line said something. Mo Jingshen’s voice was flat and emotionless. “Okay.”
After a simple chat, he hung up.
Ji Nuan had waited for him in a car outside the club. Mo Jingshen opened the car door only to see the little woman wrapped with his suit jacket and sitting in the copilot seat. Although she watched her cell phone’s screen, her fingers swiped back and forth across the screen. Obviously, she was absent-minded.
“Do you need me to accompany you to see Mr. Ji?” Mo Jingshen stared at her face and said flatly, “Only he can answer the question in your mind.”
“Forget it. My father came to T City as a guest of his business partner. He would have come to visit me if he had time. Since he doesn’t want to mention the past, I shouldn’t force him to tell me the truth. After all, for all these years, his affection for me is real. I don’t care whether he is my biological father or not. He took me as his own daughter. If I ask him who my real father is, it will only hurt him.” Ji Nuan put down her cell phone and didn’t call Ji Hongwen in the end.
Mo Jingshen’s hand fell on her head. “I’m glad you look at the bright side of things. This won’t affect your future life. Don’t think too much; the truth will come out someday. Remember, I’m always by your side, okay?”
Ji Nuan suddenly glanced at him. “Then the one you will marry is the Ji family’s daughter or…”
“You.” Mo Jingshen directly interrupted her. “It has nothing to do with your family name.”
Although Ji Nuan knew he would answer her this way, she still wanted to hear him speak these words. Perhaps this was a thing about women.
Ji Nuan immediately grinned happily, as satisfied as a kid.

On the way back, Ji Nuan looked at the neon lights outside the car, saying, “I had been wondering how Ji Mengran managed to buy over Secretary Zhou. Even if she could persuade Secretary Zhou, she wouldn’t be able to manipulate that famous club in T City. That’s beyond her ability. Now it seems that I was wrong. The person behind is not her but Sheng Yihan. He targeted the Ji family since he left the it. After he came back to the Sheng Family, the first one he is going to swallow up is the Ji family. Now it seems that Ji Mengran has been brainwashed by him. Even if Sheng Yihan sells her, she will happily help him count the money.”
“The one to be sold is not you anyway. The Ji family’s fate has nothing to do with you now.”
Hearing his words, Ji Nuan unconsciously turned her eyes to him.
Staring ahead, Mo Jingshen was driving attentively. Under her stare, he controlled the steering wheel with one hand and took her hand with another. “You don’t want to see the Ji family being annexed by the Sheng Family?”
“I don’t care about others, but my dad has always been nice to me. Although he has been a strict father, he is a loving one.” Ji Nuan didn’t speak but secretly made up her mind that no matter what happened to the Ji family, she would never sit by and watch anything terrible happen to Ji Hongwen.
Although he was not her biological father, blood ties didn’t mean everything. Ji Hongwen was a good father, which was enough.
Besides, she did not know the full truth yet, so she couldn’t just jump to conclusions so easily.
The car stopped at the traffic light intersection. Mo Jingshen took a look at her and spat out a word calmly, “Okay.”
This simple word had instantly set Ji Nuan’s mind at ease.
No matter how powerful the Sheng Family was becoming, ten Sheng Family added up wouldn’t be able to annex the Ji family if Mo Jingshen didn’t allow them.
The car stopped at the gate of a hospital in T City.
“Get off the car.”
Ji Nuan almost fell asleep in the car. Hearing his voice, she looked outside.
“Why did you take me to a hospital?”
Mo Jingshen casually answered her as he unfastened the seat belt. “Don’t you know the pregnancy test you used had expired?”
Ji Nuan immediately came to herself. She straightened up and took a look at the hospital again in surprise.
Expired?
She just noticed that the pregnancy test showed one line, which meant she was not pregnant, and she didn’t pay attention to its service life.
