She turned around. As she walked rapidly toward the bathroom in the corner, she heard several people conversing by the side.

“Just as I suspected, An Shuyan really came back to the country for CEO Mo!”

“Only CEO Mo could bring back the An family’s precious girl from miles away. An Shuyan is Director Mo’s first choice of daughter-in-law; a match made in heaven between a beautiful woman and a talented man. I really don’t understand what Elder Mo was thinking, letting a woman whose name I’ve never even heard of into the Mo family’s door.”

“No, no, no, her name is Ji Nuan. She’s quite well-known in Hai Cheng’s high society! Her family background is not bad, and I heard she is very beautiful; capable enough to push aside all the wealthy ladies in Hai Cheng to marry into the Mo family. I had thought we would be able to get a clear look at her beauty today. Who would have thought she wouldn’t be here.”

“That she isn’t here today also means she is smart. In such an occasion, Director Mo definitely wouldn’t give her any face. He might even catch onto one of her flaws and discipline her in front of the crowd. As the Shine Group’s director, he is basically the one holding all the power in the Mo family. If he really wants to keep An Shuyan in the Mo family, today is the most suitable time to let Ji Nuan face the consequences. If she came here, she definitely would not receive any good treatment.”

“True, although several people from the Mo family are here today, Elder Mo isn’t here. If Director Mo wanted to carry Ji Nuan away, he has a thousand and a hundred reasons to let her come in with a smile and leave crying. Even if CEO Mo can protect her, he still has to care for the An family’s face. Placed in such a difficult position, I suppose it’s quite hard on CEO Mo.”

“Why would it be hard? Based on CEO Mo’s style, if he really had the heart to protect his own wife, even if the emperor were here today, he still would not take him into consideration. Do you really think Director Mo can suppress him? The capability of this father and son pair has never been properly compared.”

“So, what if that Ji Nuan is beautiful? Although beauty is tempting, after a long time, one will still grow tired of it. I bet he is slightly interested in An Shuyan. Why else would he give her face, choosing such an event to have her as his companion...”

“That’s right, CEO Mo really gave the An family a lot of face today...”

“Haha! Could it be that the Mo and An family really will have results? Then, I’ll have to wait and see!”

“Do you want to make a bet? I bet that not long after, Ji Nuan will definitely be forced out of the Mo family, and An Shuyan will successfully and smoothly become Mrs. Mo! CEO Mo is such a rational person; he will definitely choose the smartest outcome. After all, Shine America’s side has the help of the An family. As long as he marries An Shuyan, it will be the same as gaining control of half of the American Chinese economy. This will definitely be beneficial for when CEO Mo eventually takes control of Shine Group.”

“... based on your way of gambling, why don’t you go steal money instead. You want me to bet that Ji Nuan can stay in her position as Mrs. Mo? Isn’t this waiting to lose!”

Ji Nuan felt that her headache was worsening. She raised a hand to lean against the wall for support and felt she really could not listen any further. She walked down the corridor in the corner expressionlessly.

The restroom was empty. She turned on the tap to wash her face, clearing her mind.

In the ballroom, Mo Shaoze was chatting with people. All of a sudden, a silhouette approached, whispering into his ear.

“Director Mo, we just saw that person from the Ji family...”

Mo Shaoze’s expression changed slightly, yet it was only for a moment. He glanced at the person, using a voice that only he could hear to coldly say, “She sure has guts to show up. Lock her inside. Don’t let her out before the party ends.”

After finishing his words, Mo Shaoze meaningfully glanced toward Mo Jingshen, who was speaking to several people holding high managerial positions in Shine group along with An Shuyan.

“CEO Mo, Uncle Mo and my father seem to have finished their talk with the rest of the elders. They are walking towards us,” An Shuyan quietly whispered by Mo Jingshen’s side.

Mo Jingshen looked as though he did not hear her words. He received the glass of wine handed over by a nearby server, smiling mildly as he continued his discussion with others. His expression did not reveal any of his feelings, yet it caused An Shuyan to feel that he was turning a deaf ear to her from beginning to end. This way of avoiding her made her feel he was unfathomable.

An Shuyan’s father and Mo Shaoze had already approached. An Shuyan gently tugged her hand placed on Mo Jingshen’s arm, yet she only managed to pull on his sleeve.

From start to finish, although the two came in together, she was the one taking the initiative to hold him and to press against him. He did not respond in the slightest, nor was there even a bit of skin contact. He did not even allow her to touch his hand, maintaining a suitable distance between them.

In the eyes of others, they appeared harmonious, but only An Shuyan knew of the distance between Mo Jingshen and her.

“Jing Shen, thank god you’ve been taking care of Shu Yan since she arrived in Hai Cheng. If it wasn’t because she was following you, as a father, I really wouldn’t have been able to bear the distance and would have flown over to check on her.” Father An laughed happily. “That Shu Yan is by your side really puts me at ease.”

It was as though Mo Jingshen only just noticed them approaching. He held the wineglass in his hand, gently knocking it against Father An’s glass, mildly and gracefully smiling. “Uncle An, you’re too polite.”

“We have spoiled Shu Yan in America. Her temper is quite stubborn. It’s rare that you give me this amount of face.” Father An was excited. “Although Hai Cheng’s Mo Corporation has only been developing for a few years, it has been the unexpected winner in the local security and technology industry. If it continues developing as it has, in less than ten years, you could surpass the nearly one hundred years old Shine Group!”

Father An smiled as he spoke to Mo Shaoze. “The youngsters these days are really all out of the ordinary, especially Jing Shen. He hasn’t even reached his independent years, and he has already become so amazing. Having such an amazing son really makes one feel envy!”

“You’re praising too much.” Mo Jingshen’s true emotions were difficult to understand. He only showed a mild, steady smile on the surface. “Even if I train for ten more years, I won’t achieve a minuscule percentage of what Uncle An has accomplished.”

Father An laughed, knocking their glasses together once more. He took another glance at his daughter standing by Mo Jingshen’s side from beginning to end with a magnanimous smile. Indeed, it was a match made in heaven.

Ji Nuan drank all that wine earlier. She stood in the bathroom for a long while before choosing to enter one of the cubicles to sit for a moment. She took out her phone to check the time and realized that there was no signal in the bathroom.

A moment later, she heard faint noises from outside.

Ji Nuan consciously stood up. At the same time, the bathroom light flickered. It seemed like electricity had an issue. In an instant, the light flickered out, leaving a sea of darkness—
