Chapter 434

Ji Nuan appeared to be holding in a smile as she gave her another glance: “Could it be that you're also hoping to take on a share of the property industry?”

Ji Mengran's expression faltered . She abruptly glared at Ji Nuan: “What do you mean by 'also'? Right now, there are countless property studios in Hai City . There is simply a demand for it . I'm no longer young, I should be doing something productive . Brother Sheng merely invested a sum in helping me . Why, are you afraid that my studio will grow stronger by the day and steal away your business?”

“I won't go that far . If you wish to steal away the meat in my mouth, I'm afraid things won't be that easy for you . ” Ji Nuan smiled coldly and raised her wine gla.s.s at her once more . “After all, we're sisters that grew up together . Since you've so sincerely decided to make an attempt in this industry, why don't I first offer you a toast? Here's to your success, en?”

Ji Nuan's eyes were smiling, but her gaze clearly contained indifference and mocking . Ji Mengran was angered and had a poor expression . She did not respond to her toast and only nestled up to Sheng Yihan, saying, “Brother Sheng, since we've already greeted the people we are familiar with, let's leave . We'll be heading to the seaside resort tonight . Who knows what time we'll be sleeping . Let's go get some rest first?”

Sheng Yihan's gaze landed heavily on Ji Nuan . Ji Nuan could tell that Sheng Yihan had also changed in the past few years . He was no longer the lonely and brave Brother Sheng from their teens, nor was he the solemn and quiet orthopedic doctor renowned for his work . He was already dyed with the shrewd cunning many businessmen had and did not attempt to restrain his ambition whatsoever .

Nonetheless, before Ji Nuan, he kept away some of his att.i.tude and said, “Goodbye . ”

Ji Nuan did not pay him any more mind as she turned to leave . She did not plan on exchanging farewells with him .

Ji Mengran watched as Sheng Yihan's gaze remained fixed on Ji Nuan's back as she left and smiled to say: “We've met an old friend . Are you still determined to win her over? Back then, you were never able to obtain her . Now that she's grown to become like this, I fear that your chances may have dropped further . A beautiful woman is already terrifying, much less a beautiful and heartless woman . No one could possibly hold their own against someone like that . ”

Ji Mengran released her grip around his arm, smiling deeply . “Did you see that? She didn't even bat an eyelid when she reunited with Mo Jingshen, with whom she had shared various grudges and feelings with and pa.s.sed by him so indifferently . What sort of impact could someone like you leave behind?”

Sheng Yihan's heavy and cold eyes s.h.i.+fted toward her . “Obediently work on your own business with the money you took . Don't waste your breath in front of me . Don't forget where your little life was picked up from . Before me, you don't have any rights to give orders . ”

Ji Mengran curled her lips up and picked up a gla.s.s of wine from a server's tray by the side . She brought it to her lips and concealed the hint of loathing that flashed past her eyes .

Back then, it was true that she did not board the flight that met with misfortune and had managed to keep her life . However, that was because of a combination of misfortunes that led to her being separated from home . She had mistakenly boarded a dubious s.h.i.+p and was eventually sold to Africa . Afterward, she had been insulted and taken advantage of by countless people . Even she could barely remember the number of instances that had occurred .

Her thin body had been covered in wounds . Just as she could barely hold onto her last breath in that place, Sheng Yihan found her and brought her out from absolute despair .

Sheng Yihan had hired a psychiatrist to treat her for a full year before she finally gave up on the thought of taking her own life .

But why did Sheng Yihan save her?

Back when he first followed Shen Heru to the Ji family, his heart had already been set on Ji Nuan . Those sorts of feelings were unshakeable . He had merely saved her for Ji Nuan and the Ji family .

Of course, he had other plans as well .

Even though she knew this well, and he was well-aware of her misbehaving thoughts, the two appeared to be dating on the surface . In truth, they had only taken what they needed from each other . The two had yet even to share a kiss, much less share a bed .

Sheng Yihan found her disgusting, while she had no interest in him . The moment a person was thoroughly charmed by someone they had no hope of attaining, they would never forget that someone .

Sheng Yihan was that way for Ji Nuan, and so was she for Mo Jingshen .

So, what if she could never attain him?

At the very least, Ji Nuan also could not have him .

Ji Mengran drank her wine with a smile . She carelessly touched the pink diamond necklace she had intentionally put on to match her gown today and spoke lightly: “Brother Sheng, I'm tired . I'm going to rest for a while . I'll come to look for you when we need to leave . ”

Sheng Yihan's expression was cold and indifferent; he did not respond . Ji Mengran had already grown used to the way he interacted with her . She smiled at him, and when curious eyes from the side landed on them, she snuggled close and whispered intimately to him before turning to leave .

From start to finish, Sheng Yihan did not reveal any emotions . As Ji Mengran walked further away, he gradually s.h.i.+fted his eyes away . His heavy and ambitious gaze then turned toward her back view . His pupils were cold, and he appeared occupied with thoughts .

The activity held at the exhibition hall this time was very grand . As it took up too much time, temporary breakrooms and changing rooms were set up on the second floor .

Ji Nuan met many of her ex-business partners at the venue and exchanged several toasts with many business partners with whom she was about to begin new projects . When she turned back, she noticed that Shen Mu was currently speaking to the city leaders, and Mo Jingshen appeared nowhere in sight .

With Mo Jingshen's status, in most situations, all he had to do was to make an appearance . It was true that there was no need for him to stay long .

No matter if he had already left, or if he was resting or had other plans, those were all things she should not be concerned or curious about .

Ji Nuan looked away . She chatted briefly with the owners of a few local property businesses before waving at them with a smile . “My apologies . I've already drunk too much . I should take some time to sober up in the breakroom . My alcohol tolerance has never been good . Although it has improved slightly in the past few years, I should still restrain myself . Otherwise, I'll end up humiliating myself in public . ”

Most of the attendees were men . Hearing her words, they did not force her to stay .

Ji Nuan directly headed upstairs . The changing room was currently occupied, so she headed straight for the female makeup room .

The moment she went in, she saw that Ji Mengran was sitting in front of the mirror on a sofa .

The places were notable young ladies and female entrepreneurs frequented was similar to the places female celebrities would frequent . Furthermore, on such a grand occasion like this, it was natural that there would be two makeup artists stationed to help the ladies fix their makeup .

Not only were there makeup artists, but there were also two young ladies Ji Nuan had never seen before . From the way they were dressed, they were likely the family members of old CEOs . These notable young ladies were all surrounding Ji Mengran as they stared at the pink diamond necklace around her neck .
