Although I didn't expect it, the person's arrival was not too unexpected.
Although An Shuyan was only Mo Jingshen's secretary, since she was a family friend of the Mo family, it was normal for her to come to celebrate the old man's eightieth birthday now that she was in China.
Ji Nuan saw the exquisite gift box in An Shuyan's hand at a glance.
An Shuyan is very good-looking, with soft eyebrows, delicate facial features, and elegant temperament. She has also dressed up carefully today. She is no longer wearing the simple commuting clothes she wore at the company, but a dress that shows off her identity and is low-key and feminine. , with every frown and smile, she looks like the lady that the elders call her.
Mr. Mo turned around and said, "Ouch, Shu Yan is here so early? You have just returned to China not long ago, and you probably haven't recovered from the jet lag. You should get more rest on this rare day off. Why did you get up so early?"
An Shuyan seemed not to notice Ji Nuan, who was being pulled by Mr. Mo. He just smiled and said, "It's okay. Mr. Mo usually takes good care of me. Working next to him, I won't be very tired."
As she spoke, as if what she just said was just unintentional, she smiled and handed over the gift box in her hand.
"It's not easy to come back to the country to see this child. What gift do you want to bring?" Mr. Mo smiled and reached out to take it enthusiastically.
"Shu Yan has grown up so much? Hey, we are really old. Didn't this child develop in the United States before? Why did he suddenly return to China? Did he come here specially to celebrate Mr. Mo's birthday? He is really thoughtful." Several members of the Mo family When a direct elder came in, he saw An Shuyan and walked towards him with a smile on his face.
At the same time, someone immediately echoed: "That's right, at the beginning we all thought that Shu Yan would become the granddaughter-in-law of the Mo family, but we didn't expect..."
Before the man finished speaking, his hand was clapped by the husband beside him, and he immediately shut up and looked at Ji Nuan awkwardly.
In an instant, almost everyone here looked at Ji Nuan.
Ji Nuan seemed not to have heard anything. He took the unopened gift box from the old man's hand, put it on the pile of gifts next to it, and turned around and said, "Everyone, sit down and chat, I'll cut some for you." fruit."
The people around who were waiting to watch the show were stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, Ji Nuan calmly took on the attitude of half the hostess of the Mo family.
This is blocking the opportunity for people to continue making sarcastic remarks...
An Shuyan saw that his unopened gift had been placed on the display shelf next to it, submerged under other gifts.
She was still smiling, and her eyes seemed to be looking in the direction where Ji Nuan was leaving inadvertently.
This Ji Nuan seemed different from what she had heard before returning to China.
…
Ji Nuan had just cut the fruit and brought it out. Her words and deeds were very appropriate. The elders who were waiting to catch her could only glance at her. Due to the presence of the old man, most of them reluctantly gave her a little face. But for some, the disgust in their eyes is still obvious.
"Girl, go outside and see if Depth of Field is back?" Mr. Mo found that the guests were almost here and said directly to Ji Nuan.
"Okay." Ji Nuan turned around and went out.
Now not only was there nothing that Ji Nuan did that could be criticized, but the old man also clearly made her identity clear in front of everyone. Any unfriendly look would be noticed by the old man.
Ji Nuan walked to the bluestone path in the house where Mr. Mo and the guests could not see him for the time being. He suddenly caught a glimpse of his cousin Mo Peilin standing in front, laughing and chatting with several middle-aged women of about the same age. He turned around and saw Ji Nuan, Dang even glanced at her coldly.
Ji Nuan just pretended not to see him and walked out.
Mo Peilin came over and blocked her way: "Hey, didn't you just come here? Where are you going? Could it be that you were kicked out? Hehe, if you don't have the protection of the old man, I'm afraid you will be kicked out by your relatives and friends. Are your eyelids pinched shut? There are really not many people in the Mo family who like you!"
Ji Nuan's eyebrows remained unchanged: "Look at my eyes, I just saw my cousin. Why didn't you go inside and sit down? Instead, you stood outside eating melon seeds?"
Mo Peilin's expression paused, and before she could speak, she heard Ji Nuan smile and say: "I almost forgot, the Mo family has rules. I'm afraid there is no place for my cousin to sit in the living room and banquet hall. They are all direct relatives or important figures of the Mo family, but you can only grab a handful of melon seeds and stand outside the door to blow the cold wind."
Mo Peilin gave her a fierce look: "If it weren't for the depth of field protecting you, do you think you can get in?"
"Ji Nuan is the granddaughter-in-law of the Mo family's famous matchmaker. If others can't get in, she must also be able to get in." Suddenly, Mo Jingshen's voice came from behind Mo Peilin.
Mo Peilin paused for a moment, then met Mo Jingshen's cold gaze.
Mo Jingshen walked past her, and Ji Nuan saw him approaching her.
He certainly has all the qualities to attract attention.
There is no need to go to the company today. Mo Jingshen is wearing casual clothes, a light-colored turtleneck sweater, straight trousers, and a beige windbreaker. He rarely wears warm-colored clothes. Today, he is no longer dressed up to be aloof. He felt a little more real in front of Ji Nuan.
The fashionable, low-key and calm clothes made his skin color slightly pale, which seemed to be hidden in the dazzling sunshine in the front yard of the Mo family's old house. There were only a pair of deep eyes like splashing ink and thin lips, which were bright and beautiful. It's hard to take your eyes away.
Mo Jingshen went to the airport very early today and picked up guests, but he was not tired at all. When he walked to Ji Nuan, he straightened his brows, raised the corners of his lips, and put his hand on the collar of her coat to help her gather her clothes. Huan: "Why aren't you inside? What are you doing out here?"
"Grandpa looks at the time and feels that you should be back soon. Let me come out to pick you up."
"Go inside, don't let the wind blow outside."
Mo Jingshen held Ji Nuan's waist and walked back without even giving the so-called cousin an extra look.
Walking into the living room and banquet hall, it was originally bustling with various guests talking in groups. The old man was also talking to a few elders.
As soon as Mo Jingshen appeared, the hall suddenly became quiet for a while. The moment he saw Ji Nuan, who was openly hugged by Mo Jingshen and walked in through the door, those guests who had just quietly taunted her while he was away, one by one. It was as if the sound had been silenced, no one dared to speak again.
The expressions of those people also softened a lot as Mo Jingshen entered. The sarcasm turned into flattery, the ridicule turned into full smiles, and the cold eyes turned into warm attention.
Ji Nuan thought to himself that the relatives and friends of the Mo family were indeed elite people who had been honed in various upper-class societies. No matter how many dramas these people usually have to play, now they are all blocked by Mo Jingshen. .
In just the blink of an eye, he confirmed her identity as Mrs. Mo in public, and at this moment, he gave her the respect and dignity that this identity deserves.
