Chapter 636: Sure Enough, As Soon as CEO Mo Found Out the Evidence
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mo Jingshen took out his cell phone and dialed a number, saying briefly, “Find the media that was trying to spread the news about Ji Mengran. Don’t make them stop but tell them to make this news hotter.”
Then the man sat quietly and watched the news gradually become increasingly hotter.
The next day, Shen Mu knocked at the door and walked in. “CEO Mo, we’ve found the media and the photographer that cooperated with Ji Mengran. These are the original photos in their camera.
Mo Jingshen took a look at him and Shen Mu quickly handed the USB flash disk in his hand to him, saying, “The photos are all here and the photographer has been taken away by the police for investigation. I’ve seen those photos. There are more than 100 of them, all from different angles. These photos are neither deleted nor processed. Those exposed in media are selected from these photos, in which the woman who only showed her back or profile looked really like Miss Ji. Please take a look. The contents in the USB disk are a lot. There are even videos in it. Besides some photos showing Ji Mengran’s frontal, those videos also exposed her face.”
Shen Mu knew why Mo Jingshen didn’t show up these days, because it wouldn’t help Ji Nuan even if he stood up to protect her. He couldn’t wash off the dirty water poured on her by doing that.
What he should do was to defend Ji Nuan in a justified way, protecting her and at the same time boiling all the dirty water spilled on her and throwing it back.
And it was not the right time for Mo Jingshen to show up before obtaining the evidence.
Seeing CEO Mo carefully looking at the photos, Shen Mu turned to leave the office quietly. He took out his cell phone to take a look at the news, only to find that the news extolling Ji Mengran had become the hottest one.
Shen Mu looked at it and smiled. Sure enough, as soon as CEO Mo found out the evidence, it was not easy for someone to step on Ji Nuan and climb up.

Ji Nuan didn’t check the news tonight. All the news was about her scandal anyway, which had been simmering for two days, and her mood had gone from anger to numbness.
She took out a dish that had just been cooked from the kitchen and set it on the table.
Xia Tian who was watching her phone glanced at the three dishes and one soup on the table and couldn’t help saying, “I can’t believe you still have the patience to cook at such a time. I’m here to accompany you and you really don’t have to cook so many dishes. Are you celebrating something?”
However, Xia Tian still picked up her chopsticks and put a piece of meat in her mouth. She chewed and couldn’t help but say, “I had been pregnant since you came back to China, and then I gave birth to my baby, so I hadn’t had time for you. I didn’t know you were so good at cooking.”
“Practice makes perfect.”
“Do you cook a lot? The company is so busy that I have no time to cook for myself. These years I had to order takeaways when I work overtime in the company.”
“When I was in England, in the most difficult year, I cooked for myself almost every day.”
Ji Nuan was good at cooking before, but now her culinary skill was even better than three years ago. Xia Tian tasted one of the dishes and couldn’t help tasting the others. Then she got up and went to the kitchen to take a bowl to drink the soup.
In the end, Xia Tian ate most of the dishes. Ji Nuan didn’t eat much but she was full.
Xia Tian was so full that she had to get up to take a walk in the room. She strolled to the balcony and looking at the Yuehu Lake below, exclaiming, “It was a wise choice that you moved here. Not many people know you live here and this community is so well-guarded that the journalists can’t intrude in. I had been worrying about you, but now it seems that you live quite in peace…”
From what she could see, she could tell that Ji Nuan was cooking to vent.
However, seeing her so abnormally calm, she was still worried about her. After all, the scolding directed at her on the Internet was simply intolerable to the eye. Xia Tian had planned to contact the media and defend Ji Nuan, but she was afraid that it might cause trouble for Ji Nuan if she acted rashly, so she just came to visit her first.
“Should I become depressed and commit suicide?” Ji Nuan put away the dishes and asked as she walked out of the kitchen.
“That’s too much. It’s just public opinion. If people commit suicide because of such a scandal, all the female stars in the entertainment industry will be all dead.” Xia Tian leaned against the French window on the balcony and watched Ji Nuan going back and forth, tidying up the room. “Do you live here alone? You don’t hire a housekeeper?”
“I hire a housekeeper to come to tidy up the house every other two days, but I didn’t let her come these two days, because I want to be alone.”
Xia Tian looked at her. “Why do you want to be alone? It’s obvious that Ji Mengran has been long prepared. I read the news and found that the news extolling her is even hotter than the news about you. And have you noticed the news discussing which of you two is more qualified to inherit the Ji Corporation? I think she must have started planning early…”
Ji Nuan filled the glass with water and drank the warm water from it, saying, “She is even more hostile to me than you can see. But she did plan this event long ago. She collected the photos of my social activities in London and the illustrations in some business news in official media, selected some from the photos and enlarged them. And then she fabricated some photos and successfully cheated the public.”
“Can’t you explain that you and Ji Mengran look alike, especially your backs and profiles?”
Ji Nuan smiled. “It won’t work. In the society of ‘Amusing Ourselves to Death,’ many people only believe what they are willing to believe. Even if I explain that the woman in the photos is not me, very few people will believe me. Even if my explanation sounds reasonable, it won’t work. They will only believe what they see. Besides, the scandals of rich people can amuse many. If I can prove my innocence with several words, why do I have to lock myself up at home for two days?”
Xia Tian said after a short pause. “But here’s your chance to defend yourself now. The two pieces of news about Ji Mengran are now ranking as the first and the second on the hottest news list and that one about you dropped to the third, which proves that she is behind this.”
Ji Nuan picked her cell phone, took a look at the news, and didn’t speak.
