Chapter 324: She, a Big-tailed Wolf, Pretended to Be an Innocent Little White Rabbit
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Did she just say she wanted to give her her engagement ring?
Logically, girls from wealthy families like Su Zhilan and Ji Nuan wouldn’t be very interested in extravagant and grandiose stuff like this ring, but apparently, Su Zhilan didn’t do it out of kindness.
Was this Miss Su deliberately lowering her guard by pretending to be a very innocent white rabbit in front of her, or was she simply being naive?
Or she was just trying to annoy her…
Ji Nuan admitted that her peace of mind had been destroyed.
As for the wedding ring, that was her fault.
When she married Mo Jingshen, she didn’t want to wear the wedding ring even in the wedding and tried every possible means not to wear it, but in the end, Mo Jingshen still wore the ring for her.
But one night, she dropped the ring in the drawer of the night table in her bedroom. She had specially gone to the Yu Garden to look for the ring a few months ago but could not find it. It was probably Ji Mengran who took her wedding ring away when she lived in Yu Garden.
The ring was not selected by Ji Nuan and Mo Jingshen but ordered by Grandpa Mo abroad. Its style was luxurious and flashy, even more so than this one. She didn’t like that huge kind of diamond, neither did Mo Jingshen who was low profile and introverted, so she didn’t bother to look for it again.
But she never expected that Su Zhilan would try to humiliate her with this matter.
Ji Nuan remained silent for a while. After buying the muffin, Feng Ling had seen the situation here. When she saw Su Zhilan, she had planned to come right away, but then she saw they were sitting there and chatting peacefully. She hesitated for a moment, thinking that she’d better not disturb them, so she waited on the side.
But she waited only a few minutes and walked straight back.
“Mrs. Mo.” She placed the muffin in front of Ji Nuan and pushed the red velvet box away. Trying to distract Ji Nuan from the ring, Feng Ling said, “Let’s go back after having this muffin. It’s getting late, and Mr. Mo will be worried about you.”
“Feng Ling, it’s been a long time.” Su Zhilan, ignored by Feng Ling, looked at her with a smile.
Feng Ling didn’t turn her eyes to Su Zhilan until now. She took a glance at her and said coldly, “Miss Su.”
Su Zhilan looked at her with a smile, thought for a while and calmly closed the red velvet box on the table, saying while smiling, “I heard you have gone back to L.A., but you’ve been in the hospital these days. My grandfather and uncle said the hospital was heavily guarded and they weren’t allowed in. Who on earth is ill? Is it serious?
“Sorry, I’m just Mrs. Mo’s bodyguard. I don’t know anything else,” Feng Ling answered coldly.
Su Zhilan’s face stiffened, but soon she smiled with understanding. “With your ability, how can you serve as a bodyguard? Did Nan Heng underestimate your ability, or did Jingshen make you do this? If you want to change your job, our Su family’s door will always be open for you. Let someone else do this trivial job.”
Feng Ling gave her a cold smile, and her tone remained frigid. “Miss Su, you overthink. Mrs. Mo and I are not only employer and bodyguard, but also friends. It’s more my own choice than my duty to protect her.”
Being given the cold shoulder again, Su Zhilan almost couldn’t keep her deportment anymore.
She forced a smile and looked at Ji Nuan again. “Feng Ling has always been like this, even colder and tougher than a man. It’s not easy for you to get used to her, is it? When I first met her, I…”
“Mrs. Mo, let’s go back.” Feng Ling interrupted her and looked straight at Ji Nuan.
From what Ji Nuan knew of Feng Ling, she was not a meddlesome person. Logically, Feng Ling wouldn’t stop her from meeting Mo Jingshen’s ex-girlfriend, but now obviously she didn’t want her to talk with Su Zhilan.
“Okay.” Ji Nuan pushed the uneaten muffin in front of her to Su Zhilan and smiled at her. “Miss Su, you’ve been following me for so long. I can’t let you come in vain. With so many people lining up to buy, this cake should taste good. Even Feng ling lined up to buy it. Please have a taste of it. We’re leaving.”
Seeing Ji Nuan stand up and about to leave, Su Zhilan was about to say something when she hesitated. She wasn’t angry or agitated but just said, “We haven’t spoken more than five sentences. It’s not dark yet. Why are you in such a hurry to leave, Miss Ji?”
Ji Nuan said, “You’ve sent me the pictures and shown me the ring. Miss Su, no matter how many trump cards you have, you need to give me a buffer time. Otherwise, you may seem too aggressive and deliberate, won’t you?”
Su Zhilan said nothing more but smiled. Her stare met Ji Nuan’s again.
However, Feng Ling quickly stood between them, blocking their views and signaling Ji Nuan to go back with her immediately with a warning look.
Ji Nuan turned and walked out. When they walked to the gate of the hospital, Feng Ling suddenly asked, “What did she just say to you?”
“As Mo Jingshen’s ex-girlfriend, she didn’t need to say anything. All she needs to do is to sit in front of me with a confident face,” Ji Nuan said casually. “But she generously offered me the engagement ring she had with Mo Jingshen. I wondered if she is really naive or what. Although I could tell that she was somewhat impulsive, I don’t think she is that simple…”
Feng Ling said seriously, “She’s never simple. Don’t be fooled by her appearance.”
Ji Nuan paused and glanced at her. “You mean she, a big-tailed wolf, pretended to be an innocent little white rabbit in front of me to fool me?”
Feng Ling looked at her. “You’d better be careful. She’s not easy to deal with. Her family is powerful, and the power behind the Su family isn’t simple.”
Ji Nuan raised her eyebrows and smiled. “Ha.”
So Su Zhilan came today to sound her out.
They walked into the hospital and entered the elevator. Seeing no one else around, Feng Ling stood beside Ji Nuan and said, “In addition to her unusual approaches, Miss Su also has intermittent mania. If she is irritated, she will lose control of herself and do something outrageous. These years, Elder Su often shut her in the home and had psychologists treat her. I don’t know how much she has recovered after all these years, but her character is somewhat dark and extreme because she’s often locked up. So, I suggest you stay away from her and never get too close to her at any time.”
