Chapter 329: You’re Nothing If You’re Not Mrs. Mo…

Ji Nuan was not surprised that Su Zhilan would come to the hospital.
It was strange that she couldn’t wait a little longer. They just met in the milk tea shop, and in the blink of an eye, she had come straight to the hospital?
Ji Nuan had just come out of the bathroom. Her hospital gown was baggy and half-tied, and she was wiping her hair when she caught sight of Su Zhilan, who had pushed the door open and entered.
“Miss Su?” At the moment she saw her, Ji Nuan cast a surprised look at her.
Su Zhilan stood close to the door. Obviously, Ji Nuan had just taken a shower. She suddenly spotted a red hickey from Ji Nuan’s open collar. Her eyes flickered, and she forced herself to look away and say calmly, “I wondered who was ill. I didn’t expect that Miss Ji has her own ward. Do you have a cold, or is there something else wrong with you? I heard you were here, so I came to see you. Am I disturbing you?”
“Of course not, but if you had been a few minutes earlier, I might still be in the bathroom.” She wiped her hair again, put down the towel, and casually smoothed her clothes, asking indifferently, “May I ask why you came to the hospital, Miss Su?”
“I heard that Jingshen was wounded.”
Ji Nuan still smoothed her sleeves. Without even lifting her eyelids, she asked, “Who told you this?”
Su Zhilan smiled. “I know some people of Nan Heng’s base. After all, my family is a major player in the American arms trade market. Although we aren’t entirely dependent on this business now and have been less involved in this field in recent years, XI base and our family used to be good partners. It’s not difficult for me to get news from these old friends.”
Without answering, Ji Nuan continued to smooth the crease in her sleeves.
Mo Jingshen had laid on top of her almost all night while her arm had been held under his body. She only changed into this hospital gown yesterday, but it crumpled up like this overnight. People might wonder how many days she had been in this gown.
Seeing she didn’t seem to care about what she said, Su Zhilan said with a smile, “Miss Ji, you should know the extent of Jingshen’s wound, don’t you? Is he badly injured? There are so many people of XI base guarding the hospital, and I heard that even Officer Entes had sent his men here, so I’m really worried about Jingshen’s condition.”
“You can just go straight to see him. Why did you come to me?” Ji Nuan turned up the corners of her lips and looked at her indifferently. “Miss Su, since you’re so familiar with the people of the base and claimed that they were your friends, the people who are guarding outside his ward probably won’t stop you from entering. You should just go to his ward to see him, and you don’t have to explain to me about this. After all, I won’t mind an old friend coming to visit my husband.”
Su Zhilan looked at Ji Nuan, and after a pause, she said, “The base has been getting new blood, and some of these people don’t know me. It’s not convenient for me to just go straight in there. It would be embarrassing if I’m stopped outside.”
Ji Nuan sneered in her heart.
So, she meant that she had gone there but was stopped outside and couldn’t even see Mo Jingshen.
So, she didn’t feel embarrassed enough and still came to her ward?
New blood?
The people guarding outside Mo Jingshen’s ward were all senior members of the base just like Feng Ling. K and the other men had been following Nan Heng for many years. How could they not know Su Zhilan?
“Yes, it’s embarrassing indeed to be shut out of the door by people who you think are your friends.” Ji Nuan said indifferently, walked to the bedside, sat down, and picked up her cell phone. She browsed the news on the screen and said absentmindedly, “I’m fine and to be frank, I don’t know you well, Miss Su. Now you have visited me, and the air in the hospital is not good. Why don’t you just go home? I’ll tell Jingshen that you’ve come to visit him. Thank you for your concern.”
Ji Nuan didn’t have the least intention of being polite to her, or even of offering her a place to sit.
But Su Zhilan didn’t want to go. She went toward the bed and pointed to a chair. “May I sit?”
Ji Nuan still looked at her phone. Without lifting her eyelids, she said aloofly, “As you wish.”
“Miss Ji seems to be afraid of me.” Su Zhilan took a look at her as she took the chair and sat down, sitting arrogantly opposite her.
Hearing this, Ji Nuan laughed. “I don’t want to say too much in case I accidentally hurt you.”
Su Zhilan frowned and was about to speak when Ji Nuan put down her cell phone and stared at her.
Ji Nuan’s slight, wet hair was hanging down her back, and she looked clean and refreshed after a shower. Compared to Su Zhilan, who looked aggressively beautiful, she seemed to be harmless. She remained aloof yet casual.
From her look, Su Zhilan couldn’t tell what Ji Nuan was thinking.
She had sounded Ji Nuan’s bottom line herself and had known from Su Xueyi that Ji Nuan was never a pushover although she looked simple.
It turned out that Ji Nuan’s emotions were not affected by those pictures and the ring at all.
Su Zhilan hesitated and suddenly came straight to the point. “Miss Ji, you said you never knew I existed until you got those pictures, so now you know who I am?”
Ji Nuan glanced at her and languidly mocked, “You’ve already introduced yourself to me and shown me that engagement ring. You don’t have to repeat your self-introduction. I’m not interested in listening to your introducing your name and identity over and over again.”
Seeing Ji Nuan remained calm, Su Zhilan paused and suddenly smiled. No longer playing friendly, she said, “Miss Ji, as you’ve guessed, I didn’t come here because of my kindness. I admit that I came here for Jingshen. No one can accept that the man you truly love suddenly becomes the husband of a woman who came from nowhere, but it seemed that you’re telling me that you just want to hold on to Jingshen’s thigh and don’t care if he ever had another woman?”
Then she continued, “You’re not a patient woman, neither am I. I can tell you plainly that Mo Jingshen is only kind to you because you are his wife, and it would be the same if he married someone else. Don’t think of yourself as an exception and don’t take your place in the relationship too seriously. You would be nothing to him if you were not Mrs. Mo.”
