Chapter 626: They Sized Mo Jingshen Up Several Times and Did Not Dare to Show Anymore Attitude
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The two sisters’ expressions were flabbergasted.
It was true. Ji Nuan’s wallet did not contain much cash. As they had their heart set on the cards, they did not pay any attention to the two thousand yuan inside her wallet, nor did they touch it.
Right now, what Ji Nuan meant was that they wouldn’t even have two hundred thousand yuan?
Song Sisi and Song Keke panicked. They turned to look at their mother.
Her aunt’s expression worsened. She abruptly raged: “If you didn’t plan on leaving us a single cent, what did you come back for?”
“My things are still here. If I don’t come back to retrieve them, did you think I would leave them for you?”
When she heard that Ji Nuan really planned on leaving, and did not save them any face, she recalled the promises she had made to her relatives and the dashed hopes to purchase new accommodations. She re-asserted her position as Ji Nuan’s senior in her mind and raised her hand to give her a slap.
However, before she could even move her hand down, her wrist was caught.
Ji Nuan watched her with a composed expression. The moment she caught her wrist, she threw them to the side. Her aunt stumbled backward and was about to start hurling abuse when the black car’s door opened again.
One young man alighted from the driver’s seat. He appeared dignified as he moved to open the passenger’s seat door. The man who then alighted was dressed in a black suit with a black coat. With one look, it was clear that this man wasn’t a typical person.
The instant Song Sisi and Song Keke caught a glance of Mo Jingshen, they were instantly charmed.
From their expressions, Ji Nuan immediately understood what had happened. Shen Mu followed behind Mo Jingshen. When she turned back, Mo Jingshen had already approached. In this little place, the man’s aura clearly clashed with the surroundings. Yet, his appearance strangely made Ji Nuan feel more secure. Compared to the way she felt when she stayed in this dysfunctional grandmother’s home a few days ago, her heart now felt more stabilised.
Although she did not wish to admit it.
But the place where Mo Jingshen stood was always more secure.
“Miss Ji, do you need help with anything?” Earlier, in the car, Shen Mu had seen that this middle-aged lady had tried to hit her. Thankfully, Ji Nuan managed to block her and did not stand there to be beaten. Otherwise, in a heat of rage, CEO Mo could have ordered for the entire house to be burned down. Thus, when Shen Mu spoke, he stood behind Ji Nuan. Although his tone toward Ji Nuan was polite and respectful, his gaze directed toward the other three women were cold. His expression clearly informed them that these were not people they could afford to provoke, and it was better for them to restrain themselves.
“Please bring the luggage out from that room. Thank you for your help, Shen Mu.” Ji Nuan immediately kept away the powerful aura and indifference she had directed at the three women. She smiled at Shen Mu.
Shen Mu nodded and headed for the room he had unlocked earlier in the morning.
“What else is there to retrieve?” Mo Jingshen approached Ji Nuan’s side, but did not look at the mother and daughters even once. His tone was composed and light. If Shen Mu was filled with dissatisfaction for this family’s despicable antics, Mo Jingshen was displaying an absolute indifference and disregard for them. His aura warned them off from approaching, and made them fear speaking up despite their curiosity.
“That should be all.” Ji Nuan gently patted her wallet. Initially, she had assumed they would flip through her bag and luggage. Instead, they immediately went for her wallet. With their minds set on those cards, it was unlikely that they had touched anything else. Thus, there was nothing else to check for.
Ji Nuan had alighted from the car in the clothes he dressed her in last night. A rainstorm had just passed and the weather was still chilly. Mo Jingshen glanced at her thin clothes and took off his coat to cover her shoulders.
Ji Nuan did not move away from him. She knew better than anyone how Mo Jingshen treated her privately; this man would never try to show off their affection. He had done this out of genuine, instinctive concern for her.
The car that abruptly appeared was luxurious, and even the person who drove it seemed well-dressed. The other man was even more attention-drawing. His action of giving Ji Nuan his coat made Song Sisi and Song Keke feel that they were watching an idol drama. Their hearts were filled with envy and dark jealousy. They wondered about the relationship between Ji Nuan and this man who was outrageously handsome.
“Who are you?” the aunt asked. Her gaze scanned the man up and down over and over again.
In the past, the rich men she had seen on movie screens were always dressed in sponsored clothes; no matter how one looked, it would seem to deliberate. With one glance, the audience would be able to tell that it wasn’t real.
Yet, the man before them—although he was dressed in a official-looking suit—appeared casual and indolent. There was nothing deliberate about his appearance. It was as though this was the position he was supposed to hold. With everything underneath his feet, no one could move him easily. Even though he gave off a noble aura that drew one to look up to him, and was cold and indifferent, he was unbelievably gentle towards Ji Nuan.
Clearly, they were people belonging to different worlds.
‘The distance between the clouds and mud’ was finally keenly understood in this moment.
Mo Jingshen appeared not to have heard this middle-aged lady speaking. He only spoke to Ji Nuan: “If you’re cold, wait in the car. Let Shen Mu bring your things out. If there’s anything missing, let him look in the other rooms.”
“It’s all right. Compared to Jing City, this place is much warmer.” Ji Nuan was slightly vulnerable to the cold due to her recent fever, but was not as delicate as Mo Jingshen had thought her to be. However, this coat truly made her feel much warmer.
“I’m asking you something. Who are you? You dared to enter our front yard carelessly? Can’t you hear me speaking to you?” The aunt saw that she was completely neglected and felt that she was losing face. She couldn’t help her voice pitch from rising up. However, it was impossible for her to suppress this man’s noble, unapproachable aura.
Mo Jingshen finally shifted his gaze onto this middle-aged lady: “As Ji Nuan’s husband, is there a problem with me standing here?”
The aunt’s expression immediately faltered. Hus… hus… husband?!
Ji Nuan was also slightly dumbstruck.
How did he find the face to say the word ‘husband’? She hasn’t even had the time to investigate their divorce matters. He was clearly her ex-husband.
She did not speak, but glared at the man from the side.
Her aunt scanned Mo Jingshen up and down several times and did not dare to show any more attitude.
She recalled the way she had expressed that Ji Nuan may marry a rotten old man a few days ago; the sensation of the silent slap against her face was keenly felt. Furthermore, this man was clearly not a small figure. His status and wealth was likely beyond what the Ji family could fathom.
