474 The Xiao Family in Lin Cheng and the Mo Family in Hai City 3
Then she spotted Mo Jingshen.
Ji Nuan turned her face to Xiao Luye deadpan. “Can I go now?”
“Why? He is just your ex. Can he eat you?”
“You just don’t understand, do you?” Ji Nuan looked a bit unhappy, and her voice was full of displeasure.
“If you don’t say it, he doesn’t say it, and I don’t say it, who will know you were Mrs. Mo? Even if some people present may know it, they won’t dare to speak it out unless allowed by Mo Jingshen. Besides, there are no media here today. You can rest assured.”
“You’ve almost invited all bigshots in the business circle of Hai City. Do you know how many of them know? Although not all of them know, it’s still a lot.” Ji Nuan had noticed that many people look at her with curiosity and scrutiny. This birthday party is not an official one, and most of the attendees were businessmen, so the guests were not so discreet.
But she had come, and it would be strange if she suddenly left.
Ji Nuan didn’t say anything more. “I planned to drive here by myself, so I wore flat shoes, which doesn’t seem very proper at a party like this. I’m going to change my shoes in the dressing room. I’ll be right back.”
Xiao Luye called a waiter and asked him to take Ji Nuan to the dressing room.
When she got to the dressing room, she went in for a rest, changed her shoes, and walked a few steps in the dressing room when she got up. The shoes were beautiful but were new, and she had never worn them since she had tried them on when she bought them. It was only when she had taken a few steps that she noticed that the shoes were scratching her little at the back.
Ji Nuan turned to open the door and called the waiter. “Please get me two band-aids. Thank you.”
The waiter nodded, and when Ji Nuan saw that someone else was going into the dressing room to change, she went out and waited outside.
After about ten minutes, the waiter brought the band-aid. She took it and opened the door of the dressing room. While sitting on the chair to take off her shoes, she suddenly felt something wet under her buttocks.
She stood up quickly saw a little ketchup on the chair, which was not much but now was all on her skirt.
There was no chance of an inadvertent act or coincidence in getting ketchup in such a place. It seemed that someone had come in on purpose during the ten minutes she had been out.
Although her skirt was red, the ketchup on her dress looked like menstrual blood if being looked from a distance, which was very embarrassing.
Ji Nuan stood for a moment, then turned to open the door and look out, only to see Ji Mengran standing in the crowd of the banquet hall, holding Sheng Yihan’s arm and chatting with others all smiles. Ji Nuan looked at the French fries and ketchup on a plate on a long table not far away, where desserts were served. After a moment’s silence, she called for a waiter and asked for a pair of scissors and a few gold pins.
After another fifteen minutes or so, Ji Nuan came out on her shoes, which were no longer rubbing. She was still shining and remained unaffected.
In the distance, Ji Mengran glanced at the dressing room from time to time. To her disappointment, she saw Ji Nuan had pulled her full-length dress up to the waist. A few aureate small clips formed a chic pattern that not only covered the part stained by the ketchup but also turned the monolayer skirt to a fluffy double-layer skirt. The hem of her skirt was only about two centimeters above her knee, and her long, white, straight legs were exposed. Wearing the high-heeled shoes that matched her dress very well, she instantly changed from an elegant young woman that wore a long skirt into a pretty and sexy beauty in a shirt dress. The little gold pins looked like a special design and didn’t seem out of place at all.
Seeing her suddenly walk out like this, many men could not help gazing at her. She had taken off her topcoat. In her sexy red dress with suspenders, her white and attractive shoulders, collarbone, and long legs were revealed.
Seeing this scene, Ji Mengran looked away as if nothing had happened, but was very angry on the inside.
Why was Ji Nuan as flamboyant as before she got married?
Even Sheng Yihan noticed Ji Nuan’s changes.
The point was that she was now more attractive than ever. The 24-year-old her was different from the ‘Number One Warmth’ who was still a teenage girl. At that time, she was a proud peacock, but now she was the perfect embodiment of sexiness and maturity, displaying her advantages without concealing them. She was even more flamboyant than before.
It just so happened that she could attract more men’s eyes this way.
Walking through the crowd, Ji Nuan didn’t want to go to Xiao Luye. When she just came out, she saw him going to the back. He probably went to see tonight’s star, his father, Mr. Xiao.
Seeing that Ji Nuan had no male companion, some men who had known her or cooperated with her took turns to greet her.
Men hit on her from time to time. “CEO Ji, did you come alone? You don’t have a male companion?”
Ji Nuan smiled but didn’t answer. She took a glass of red wine a man handed her, and clinked the glass with him, took a sip, and said with a smile, “I do, but the banquet hall is too big, so I lost him.”
“Is your male companion your boyfriend or what? The first few times I saw you, you were alone. Do you have a boyfriend or are married?” the other side asked politely. “Is it too abrupt for me to ask this?”
“No, not at all.” Ji Nuan took another sip of wine and spotted a familiar tall, and slender black figure taking a glass of wine just like her in the distance.
She said to the men standing beside her all smiles. “I got married, but my ex-husband died.”
Under their shocked stare, she gently shook the wine glass in her hand, and said in a faint voice that everyone around her could hear, “I went straight to England after his funeral three years ago.”
“Haha, CEO Ji, you must be kidding…”
“CEO Ji, this is not a good joke…”
These people all thought she was joking.
Ji Nuan didn’t deny it but smiled. She raised her eyes to meet the man’s eyes who had evidently heard her and was looking her way. She raised the goblet in her hand as if to toast him. Then, under his cold gaze, she sneered and drank up the rest of the wine. Then she put down the empty glass with a deadpan expression and turned away.
