However, there was no need for Ji Nuan to take revenge. Three days later, Haicheng Aviation Affairs Bureau sent out a message.
Flight BA168 from Haicheng to London, England, crashed due to an unknown malfunction while passing over the Pacific Ocean. 57 Chinese and 108 British people on the plane, including dozens of passengers from other countries, all died unfortunately. China and Britain have A maritime rescue team was deployed to search and rescue, but based on the weather conditions that day and the surrounding maritime environment where the accident occurred, it was estimated that it was almost impossible for anyone to survive.
When Ji Nuan learned the news, she subconsciously called Ji Hongwen directly, but no one answered the call for a long time. She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the apartment in City T, looking towards the direction of the Pacific Ocean.
She called Aunt Qin again the day before yesterday and learned that Ji Mengran took off from Haicheng to London, England this morning. Ji Mengran was on the plane that had the accident, flight BA168.
The news of the sudden death of such a so-called sister who had troubled her in both lives was not a surprise to Ji Nuan, but it was hard to accept, but her immediate reaction was that Ji Hongwen would definitely not be able to bear it!
Ji Hongwen's call went unanswered for a long time. Ji Nuan simply called Aunt Qin again. Aunt Qin kept crying when she answered the phone. She only said that Director Ji's condition was not very good. After learning the news about the plane crash, she kept talking to herself. He was locked up in the company's office and had not come out for several hours, and no one in the company dared to break in.
Ji Nuan would never forgive anything, but in Ji Hongwen's eyes, Ji Mengran was his biological daughter after all.
…
When Mo Jingshen entered the door, he saw Ji Nuan had dressed and was about to go out.
"It's already six o'clock in the evening, where are you going?"
"I'm going back to Haicheng tonight. I don't know if I can make it back tomorrow morning. I'll ask Feng Ling to go to Professor Lin to ask for leave for me tomorrow." Ji Nuan hurriedly said and was about to go out.
Mo Jingshen glanced at her, stretched out his hand to hold her wrist and brought her back. At the same time, he put down the bag in her hand: "At this time, even if you rush to the airport, the earliest flight back to Haicheng is in the middle of the night. There is no point in going to the airport at this time, calm down first and tell me, what are you going to do back?"
"Mengran went to London today. Something happened to her flight. I'm afraid my dad won't be able to bear it for a while. I have to go back and see him!" Ji Nuan didn't believe such big news. Mo Jingshen didn't know about this kind of air crash news. In China, it is usually reported immediately.
"The flight from Haicheng to London did indeed have an air crash. After I learned the news in the afternoon, I sent someone to the airline to check. Ji Mengran herself did not get on the plane. She was only temporarily listed as missing." Mo Jingshen stared at Ji Nuan. With a face that was a little pale from worry, he spoke this sentence lightly with his thin lips.
Ji Nuan looked at him, opened his mouth, and finally calmed down a lot. He didn't speak at first, as if to confirm the truth of his words, and then picked up the phone to call Ji Hongwen, but the other party still didn't answer.
"But my dad doesn't answer the phone now, and people from his company don't dare to go into the office to look for him. I'm worried..."
"Dr. Ji has been in the mall for a long time and his mental endurance will not be so fragile. I sent Shen Mu to drive to Ji's now to have a look and let him tell Director Ji that Ji Mengran did not board the plane." Mo Jingshen held her down. The arm: "Don't panic, leave it to me."
Yes, Shen Mu didn't come to T city with Mo Jingshen, Shen Mu was still in Haicheng.
As Mo Jingshen's most capable assistant, he must have a way to enter Ji's family to see her father.
Ji Nuan nodded and looked directly at Mo Jingshen.
Mo Jingshen knew that she was a little anxious, so he didn't say much. He just patted the back of her hand comfortingly and picked up the phone to call Shen Mu.
After hearing Mo Jingshen explain everything with his own ears, Ji Nuan looked at his cell phone again, and another news message about a search and rescue ship salvaging the bodies of the victims popped up on his cell phone.
Maybe it’s true that she has no feelings for a long time. The years of vicissitudes in her previous life and the clear hatred now cover up the so-called feelings that have grown up together day and night in the past ten years. From the time when she first heard the news about Ji Mengran’s flight crash to now , Ji Nuan really has no fluctuations in her heart, but she is a little unwilling and feels a little lost because she has not been able to personally let Ji Mengran go through the paths she took in her previous life.
Even now that she learned that Ji Mengran might not be on the plane, she felt nothing.
Things like feelings really don't exist anymore. Things that have been cooled down and chilled will never be warmed again.
Ji Nuan was carried back to the sofa by Mo Jingshen. She kept staring at her phone, wondering when Ji Hongwen would call back.
Mo Jingshen took off the coat she had put on before going out, put it aside, sat her down on the sofa, and leaned over to look at her: "What makes you sad is that Director Ji didn't answer your call?"
Ji Nuan sat motionless, and Mo Jingshen didn't ask her any more questions. He sat directly next to her and pressed her head on his shoulder.
Ji Nuan closed her eyes and was quiet for a long time before saying, "No matter whether something happened to Mengran or not, I feel that after this incident, my dad will instinctively start to avoid me."
Mo Jingshen's hand stopped on her head, caressing the top of her head, lowered his head and kissed her forehead: "Nuan Nuan."
His voice was low, with a hint of pity and understanding: "In terms of the relationship between you two daughters, he did not deal with it properly, and he neglected to discipline Ji Mengran because he was too busy, but you can't do it because of the current situation. Knowing that there may not be a real blood relationship between you and him and thinking that he will gradually alienate you."
"Well, maybe I think too much..."
Mo Jingshen spoke warmly in her ear: "You have been the pride in his eyes since you were very young, and you are also the daughter he focused on cultivating. It proves that he has never considered the issue of blood relationship. It is enough for him to think that you are his daughter. Today If something like this happens, he needs a quiet environment to calm down for the time being. He is not avoiding you. All kinds of accidents in this world may happen at any time. Only long-term and sincere love will not be given away. I love you That’s the case, and Director Ji treats you the same way.”
Ji Nuan directly buried her face in his arms: "I hope to always be his daughter. Even if one day the Ji family no longer looks like Dingsheng, I will still be his daughter."
The man was silent for a few seconds and then said in a low voice: "If Director Ji knew what you were thinking, he would be very pleased. He has not failed to cultivate you for twenty years. This is the best reward you can give him. It’s much more practical than a phone call to express concern.”
She hugged him and buried her face deeper in his neck.
The little woman is no longer as assertive as she was in the past few months. At least she will get used to hiding in his arms when she is occasionally vulnerable, neither hiding nor avoiding.
Such trust was enough to comfort Mo Jingshen.
He stroked her shoulder and said in a low voice: "After Shen Mu sees Director Ji, he will ask Director Ji to call you back. Please wait patiently and don't worry."
