After so many years, the reason Ji Nuan had never received the fondness of these women was precisely because of that ridiculously attractive face of hers, and those lips that never placed her on the losing end.
No matter if it was then or now, even with ten more years of life experience, under her reserved composure remained her refusal to allow anyone to step on her. The ones thinking of taking advantage of her needed to be sent back to school to be retaught for several years.
However, it really looked as though Mrs. Mo had bullied the Han family’s lady.
After all, the title of Mrs. Mo sufficed to suppress anyone on the street, and it was this title that caused these wealthy young ladies to grit their teeth in hatred.
Miss Lin saw Miss Han at a loss for words from the anger and took a step forward. “Mrs. Mo sure is imposing. You’ve really changed after marrying Mo Jingshen. I heard that previously when you appeared on a similar occasion, you pretended to be frail, so CEO Mo had to carry you out. We were all wondering how you gained control of your marriage; so, you’ve been acting like a frail white lotus before CEO Mo? Now that CEO Mo isn’t here, you’ve begun showing off your might again, haven’t you? You’re truly a woman with many schemes! And you dare say you didn’t deliberately dirty her clothes? That you are not deliberately targeting her?”
Ji Nuan coldly glanced at her. “Why would I target her?”
“Isn’t it because you know Miss Han has always liked CEO Mo? You are jealous because of their previous small relationship, and the moment you saw her here you thought about dirtying her dress to humiliate her. Who here doesn’t know how you used to be? A wealthy young lady more arrogant than anyone else. There have been countless occasions when you bullied others. Why are you acting innocent now?”
Ji Nuan’s expression instantly became serious. “Aside from being too lazy to pay you idle people any mind, when did I bully anyone? Being arrogant don’t require your judgment. For example, Miss Han wanted me to take off my gown for her to wear, and I refused. She shot herself in the feet and caused herself to lose face. How did the situation change into me bullying her?”
“You’re clearly targeting me! Otherwise, why would you bump into me!” Miss Han took advantage of the opportunity and spoke up.
Ji Nuan’s eyes instantly narrowed. “A Miss Han who, for the sake of pursuing my husband, once put on the crazy act and attempted suicide, but failed to receive even a single glance from him; In which way are you worthy of my attention? How are you worthy of being my target? En?”
The incident from back then was suddenly brought up. Miss Han’s expression instantly turned green, and because of the words ‘my husband,’ a knife was stabbed into her heart.
“One must have self-awareness. Since the dirty water you splashed out yourself cannot be undone, kneel on the ground and lick it clean. Don’t expect others to wipe it for you.” Ji Nuan coldly finished her words and turned to leave.
“Ji Nuan, don’t put on airs! The reason you could marry into the Mo family is because you look like a little vixen! You won’t be able to pull off these little schemes of seduction forever! Right now, Mo Jingshen might want you, but who knows if after several years he will become sick of you and toss you out of the Mo family. Then, second-hand goods like you would only be able to beg a bunch of old men to sleep with you! Isn’t it just a face, what other right do you have to be arrogant! Quit acting!” Suddenly, Miss Han was consumed with rage as she shouted a stream of words.
Ji Nuan’s footsteps paused as she turned back to glance at her. “Just because I have a face? You don’t even have a face, and you dare to discuss rights with me?”
Miss Han faltered not expecting her words to be used against herself. She ground her teeth in anger.
Miss Han’s father was also present. When he heard the noise on this side of the room, he immediately came. He saw it was Ji Nuan, and although he took into account the Mo family, after seeing his daughter being angered into such a state and her dirtied dress, he could not help but furrow his brows and take on the attitude of an elder to nag. “Mrs. Mo, as a person, it’s better to be more upright. If you’ve done something wrong, then you should admit it. Although my daughter shouldn’t have made such a fuss here to harm your reputation, you should maintain the right attitude since you dirtied her clothes”
“Don’t you understand human words?” Ji Nuan had lost all patience, no longer wishing to continue taking turns in this verbal fight; she felt it was a waste of time. “Her skirt was dirtied by her own actions; it’s unrelated to me. If you don’t believe it, check the surveillance cameras. After watching it, if you dare, then come out and continue speaking.”
Miss Han’s father’s expression instantly turned ugly. “Mrs. Mo’s upbringing seems to be rather poor. Is this how you speak to elders? How did your father bring you up? It seems like I have to find some time to talk to Director Ji and Elder Mo.”
If it was not because he really could not cause her too much harm before the eyes of the public, Miss Han’s father really wanted to give this Ji Nuan a tight slap and teach her a proper lesson.
Miss Han took advantage of everyone’s support and her father’s presence to put on an arrogant and domineering attitude toward Ji Nuan. “The truth is right before our eyes. After all, you really touched me. The strength with which you did so cannot be seen from the surveillance cameras. We can reduce this into a small matter if you wish for it, but my demand remains unchanged! Take off your gown! So, what if I can’t put it on? I didn’t say I would wear it! Take off your clothes in public, and I’ll forgive you for this!”
At this moment, a lazy, amused voice came from behind Ji Nuan. “Miss Han, are you sure you want to have Mrs. Mo take off her gown in public? Even if it isn’t up to a hundred, there are at least several tens of eyes here; so many people’s eyes, yet they might still be insufficient for Mo Jingshen to dig out.”
This voice belonged to Sheng Yihan. Although he had come to speak up for Ji Nuan, his words caused Ji Nuan to be extremely unhappy.
His words clearly concealed a tinged of mockery only she could sense.
“Mr. Sheng, I heard you used to have some relations with the Ji family. But aren’t you afraid of causing some misunderstanding by standing up here to speak out for Mrs. Mo?” Miss Han could no longer suppress her anger. She did not give Sheng Yihan any face even though he was already the Sheng family’s heir. His status could not be easily dismissed, yet she refused to let go of it.
“Furthermore, Mrs. Mo can’t have come to this place without preparing any spare clothes. I only want her to take off her gown; it can’t be that she’s not even wearing any underwear. She’s Hai Cheng’s First Warmth, ah, if she doesn’t reveal her figure for others to see, who can say that she truly fits the title.” Miss Han glared at Ji Nuan.
“Miss Han, the departmental store under the Sheng family’s name is right around the corner. If you wish, you can go there and pick anything you like.” Sheng Yihan maintained his light smile. “There’s no need to make things difficult for people here.”
Miss Han still refused to budge. “Is Mr. Sheng trying to protect the flower? What if I insist on having Ji Nuan take off her gown tonight?”
“This Sheng has used up all of his words. The Sheng Corporation’s department store can be opened for Miss Han anytime, but you clearly don’t plan on giving me any face.” Sheng Yihan smiled imperceptibly.
Miss Han had already lost her rationality. She coldly harrumphed.
“If Mr. Sheng’s face doesn’t work, what about mine?”
A clear voice abruptly rang through the room. It was low, heavy, and cold. The crowd shifted as their startled eyes landed on Mo Jingshen who had suddenly appeared.
