Chapter 670: He Just Pulled Up His Pants, Turned Around And Walked Away...
After leaving the restaurant, Ji Nuan drove away alone. Instead of driving straight back to the company, she stopped the car at the empty roadside and got off when she passed by the seaside on Binhai Road.
Facing the vast sea, she took off her shoes and walked back and forth on the soft sand barefoot, looking at the footprints she left all the way back and forth. When she looked back, she saw that her footprints had been washed off by the waves, leaving no trace.
She walked up and down the beach alone for a long time, until late afternoon. When it was getting dark, she sat down on the beach and took a look at her phone.
Mo Jingshen hadn’t replied yet.
She had finally found out about the truth about her real father. As she expected, it was all about the love and hatred of the older generation. She had no right to take the place of her mother to hate or forgive. Her only right was to accept or not.
The reason she went to see Mr. Xiao today was that she didn’t hate him. She just didn’t accept what the Xiao Family wanted to give her.
But there was always an unspeakable depression in her heart that she could not release and didn’t know how to release. She drove here just to stay alone for a while, only to find that the car that had been quietly following her recently was parked on the road near Binhai Road. Although the car didn’t make any noise and the place where the car was parked was hidden, she had already found it
The car followed her wherever she went and stopped when she stopped. It kept following her at a distance.
After a few days of observation, she was sure that the people in the car did not mean any harm. She guessed that they might be the bodyguards arranged around her as Mo Jingshen had said, who would not affect her work and life, but would be there when she needed them.
Just like Mo Jingshen, he was the same now, not interfering in her affairs, not breaking her wings, not interfering with her work and life, but would always be there when she needed him.
But after he returned to the United States, he didn’t contact her for several days and didn’t even reply to her messages.
Perhaps because of what Mr. Xiao had said today, or because of the man who hadn’t replied to her yet, Ji Nuan sat on the beach staring at her phone.
Didn’t he say he would return to Hai City?
Didn’t he ask her if she would like to return with him to the Yu Garden?
But then he didn’t reply to her message or call her after going back to America.
This man, before leaving, ran to her company, made her sweet speeches in her office, treated her to dinner, asked her to go back to Yu Garden and promised to go back to Hai City soon, but after sex, he just pulled up his pants, turned around, and walked away.
Ji Nuan suppressed the impulse to put him back to the blacklist, but she told herself it wouldn’t help even if she put him back to the blacklist. Once was enough for such childish behavior and there was no need to do it again.
But she still clicked on the screen several times. In the end, she turned the phone screen off, stood up barefoot, and walked from the beach back to the seaside road with her shoes in her hands. As always, there was very little traffic on this road. She sat there for nearly two hours and heard only three or four cars passing by.
After clearing the fine sand at her feet and putting on her shoes again, she didn’t go back to her car. Instead, she turned her eyes to the black car that was parked in the distance and stepped up to it in her high heels.
Seeing her looking at them and coming straight towards them, the people in the car didn’t hide. After knocking, the car window fell down slowly, revealing the faces of two strange men.
“Miss Ji, what can I do for you?” A man in the car asked her politely and respectfully.
Ji Nuan pursed her lips. “Who sent you here?”
“CEO Mo.”
It was just as she had expected.
“He sent you to protect me in China?”
“Yes, Miss Ji. Since you came back to Hai City from London, we have been protecting you. CEO Mo told us not to be discovered by you and not to affect your normal life, so we try not to be seen.”
Ji Nuan looked at them with her arms around her chest and said nothing.
The two men continued, “However, if not permitted by you, we can’t enter some places, such as the charity banquet held by the municipal government. It was held by the leaders of the municipal government and there were too many security guards in the field. We were not allowed to enter because we did not have the invitation letter, nor stayed with you.”
Ji Nuan pondered. “What else did he tell you?”
“CEO Mo just told us to follow you in a distance and keep you safe and didn’t say anything else.”
“Did he tell you anything else before he went back to America?”
The two bodyguards exchanged a glance, and Ji Nuan sensitively noticed that they hesitated a bit before answering this question. They said, “No.”
Ji Nuan looked at them for a moment, and turned away without further questions.
When she got back to her car, she threw her bag and phone on the copilot seat, looked at the street lights that came on at 7:00 p.m., and drove home.
——
As the saying went, there was no story without coincidences.
On the fifth day after Mo Jingshen returned to the United States, an old client of MN Group wanted to go to Los Angeles to discuss a project and invited MN Group to join in the project. This client was very picky. He was even disdainful of MN’s vice president and could only accept contacting Ji Nuan.
So he invited Ji Nuan to go to Los Angeles with him.
The night before the departure, Ji Nuan went back to Yuehu Bay to pack up. She picked up her cell phone and took a look at Mo Jingshen’s WeChat avatar.
She looked at it for a long time before she put down the phone, began to pack up, and prepared to set for Los Angeles.
——
Before Ji Nuan left, she took out the blue diamond hidden in the drawer and didn’t leave it at home ‘like a piece of junk’ like Mo Jingshen said, but contacted a well-known jewelry customization center in China, sent the blue diamond to them, and asked them to make a simple and chic blue diamond necklace.
It would take about two weeks. She could get the necklace after she came back from America.
On the way to the jewelry center, she kept touching the velvet box in her hand, thinking about many things that happened three years ago, three years later, in her previous and current life.
