The man was dressed in a black suit. The dazzling lights shifted across his body, revealing a white shirt underneath. His unique, expensive, and low-profile cufflink appeared cold as it reflected a flash of light.
Xu Yao sensed that someone had splashed champagne on her. In a fit of anger, she grabbed her wet, messy hair and raised her head to shout, “Who was it! Who dared to splash alcohol on me?”
Hearing the noise, the security guards present immediately approached.
Ling Feifei also rushed forward. She ran toward Xu Yao’s side, but before she could speak up, Xu Yao had already angrily scolded, “He is still upstairs! Who was that it was so daring, splashing champagne on someone in such a place! Security guards, what are you doing! Bring that person down immediately! I want to see who…”
Before she could finish speaking, the man began to walk down the stairs. The moment she saw the man’s unwrinkled suit pants and his long, straight legs, Xu Yao’s expression became dazed. She took a careful look upward and saw that the man was unbuttoning his suit jacket as he came down. The white, handmade dress shirt was immaculate and drew people’s eyes. With one look, it was clear that it wasn’t cheap.
He was only moving down the stairs. However, the man’s steps were stable and unhurried. His black leather shoes appeared like a highlight that attracted everyone’s gaze. Step by step, he climbed down the stairs.
He glanced downward and instantly allowed everyone to gain a clear look at his handsome, attention-drawing face.
He was wearing a similar white shirt. However, unlike that day at the sports hall, he did not appear as cheerful, amiable, or kind. The man’s countenance was distinct and clear as he swept an indifferent glance at them. His gaze was specially composed and cold. Although the champagne was clearly splashed by him, his handsome face was completely unperturbed. As he climbed down, a hint of cold flashed past his distant eyes.
It was actually Mo Jingshen!
The entire venue was instantly filled with an uproar.
Xu Yao immediately choked on the verbal abuse that was about to leave her lips. Whereas, Ling Feifei, upon seeing Mo Jingshen, instantly took a subconscious step back.
Not only was the crowd startled, but even Ji Nuan was also caught off guard.
She turned to look at the man. Didn’t he return to Hai City a week ago? Wasn’t he especially busy in the past few days? They even talked on the phone last night. Before the call was hung up, she had even expressed that she missed him. At that time, he completely did not mention that he would come to T City today. Ji Nuan had assumed that she would be putting on this gown for herself. Who would have thought that he actually would come?
Feng Ling watched the approaching man and clearly saw the frigid aura surrounding Mo Jingshen.
When those photos had been released by Ling Feifei, Feng Ling had already known that Mo Jingshen would not allow these little women to continue harassing Ji Nuan as they pleased. Sealing the school internet for a day was only a light punishment. The unsettled debt would be accounted for after.
Under the various, dazzling lights, the man’s handsome face was obscured by the mist, causing him to appear strangely cold.
Everyone was watching Mo Jingshen, including the various school leaders and renowned educational celebrities who had heard of his appearance. Although they previously extended several invitations to him, they never received an affirmative reply. Who would have thought that he really would come.
Mo Jingshen approached Ji Nuan. As he stopped before her, his gaze landed on the wine glass in her hand. He spoke unhurriedly with a clear, distinct voice, “Splash back.”
Ji Nuan’s expression faltered. She turned back to look at Xu Yao who was dumbstruck, and Ling Feifei who was hiding behind her.
Earlier, Xu Yao did not actually stain Ji Nuan’s gown. However, if it hadn’t been for Feng Ling’s fast reflexes, things might have been different.
Xu Yao opened her mouth, mumbling, “President Mo, aren’t you spoiling her too much? Are people like you, who operate in the higher society, allowed to be so high profile when you’re being unfaithful?”
Mo Jingshen’s long fingers stroked the emptied wine glass. With a low and indifferent chuckle, he placed the glass down: “Unfaithful? When it comes to marriage and love, I’ve always been faithful toward Ji Nuan. I’ve never once stepped out of bounds. What infidelity is there to speak of?”
For a moment, Xu Yao could not understand. She shifted her confused gaze onto the composed Ji Nuan before turning toward the pale Ling Feifei who was hiding behind the crowd.
Ling Feifei really did not dare to speak up now. Mo Jingshen’s words alone were sufficient to reveal the truth.
Ji Nuan was indeed his wife. His words could not be clearer!
By the side, one of the school leaders could not take watching any longer. He knitted his brows to say, “What kind of ideas do you guys have in mind? Miss Ji here has always been President Mo’s wife. It’s just that she doesn’t like being a rich, idle wife at home and decided to come out to run her own business. She only took some time out to study corporate management here; how did she manage to offend you guys? Why are you making a fuss here?”
In the past few minutes, not only did Xu Yao’s complexion change significantly, all of the present people who were discussing or suspecting Ji Nuan’s business had all turned their disbelieving eyes onto her.
Although it wasn’t her first time being in a crowded place like this, most of the people there were students who were not too familiar with her. All of a sudden, Ji Nuan found herself slightly uncomfortable with all of the attention.
Mo Jingshen immediately held her hand. His natural posture as he did so cause the crowd to appear even more flabbergasted.
No wonder Mo Jingshen suddenly chose to interact and cooperate with T University; it turns out it was because Ji Nuan was here…
This meant that, if it hadn’t been for Ji Nuan, the generous reconstruction of T University’s one-hundred-year-old library most like wouldn’t have happened. After all, this wasn’t a small sum of money. No local company could possibly bear to part with so much money. It could also be said that this significant service that would celebrate the history of the library and bring countless benefits and joy to many had only happened because of Ji Nuan.
The students who were previously uninformed did not dare to say more. Instead, they turned toward them with envious and admiring eyes.
Only individuals like Ling Feifei were uneasy and nervous and wished to disappear right from this place.
“You’re really… President Mo’s wife?” Xu Yao was still somewhat dumbstruck. Ling Feifei, who had always incited her to target Ji Nuan, had hidden far behind them. There was no way to receive a confirmation from her. However, based on Ling Feifei’s attitude, it was likely that she already knew. Otherwise, why would she be hiding away!
“No matter who I am, even if I was truly an insignificant owner of a small studio, it doesn’t give you any rights to point fingers at me.” Ji Nuan spoke composedly and unhurriedly with red lips. “Does me not being Mo Jingshen’s wife gives you the right to slander me with such nonsense and ruin my reputation?”
“This was because… I heard it from Ling Feifei… and those photos, those photos on the forum were also posted by Ling…”
“I know better than anyone what she has done. But do you mean to say you’re not the same kind of person as her? Birds of a feather flock together. Both of you were able to become so close and to discuss someone else’s rights and wrongs together. It’s clear that you belong to the same category, so don’t waste time trying to act innocent now that you’ve seen the facts. No one is fooled by your low-class character and your low-class act,” Ji Nuan said coldly.
