Ji Mengran's expression stiffened.
All her intentions were instantly put on the table because of Mo Jingshen's serious words.
She bit her tongue and turned to Shen Heru for help, but Shen Heru didn't look at her. She just sat next to Ji Hongwen and acted like it had nothing to do with her.
Ji Mengran had promised not to involve her in this, but Ji Mengran felt stuffy in her chest, so she had to endure it and just stared at the gift box. Anyway, with this thing here, Ji Nuan couldn't get away with it!
"In my opinion, it's better to open the gift box and take a look!" Ji Mengran insisted.
Ji Nuan smiled and reached out her hand calmly. As soon as she put her hand on the gift box, she suddenly caught Mr. Mo's gaze.
The old man could tell that Ji Nuan had fallen into the trap. In case she really couldn't stand up to the occasion, he warned her with his eyes not to open it. If it is really that thing, not to mention that he looks unlucky, many famous people here are a little superstitious. If it is really what Ji Mengran said, Ji Nuan really can't find a way to go down.
Ji Nuan gave the old man a reassuring smile, tapped the box with her hand, and the expensive rosewood gift box was opened instantly.
As soon as he saw the things placed neatly in the middle, Ji Mengran, who had just stood up because of excitement, his eyes suddenly trembled.
How can this be
She had obviously given the things to Ji Nuan before, but unexpectedly... it wasn't...
Seeing the contents in the box, Ji Hongwen breathed a sigh of relief for a moment, but then frowned and looked at the petrified Ji Mengran with cold eyes.
This girl is seeking death! It really brought the Ji family’s face to shame!
"Grandpa, what a farce, you are laughing." Ji Nuan smiled happily: "When Jing Shen and I went to buy gifts, Jing Shen said that you are very fond of ancient chess. This was originally written by Gu Shiyan, a famous master in the late Tang Dynasty. The ancient chess records left behind have been passed down from generation to generation, and were carefully collected in the palaces of successive dynasties. They are still well preserved until now. I hope you like them."
Mr. Mo was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe it. When he came back to his senses, he reached out and took it with a face of joy, opened it and turned it over, nodding happily while reading: "You kid is really thoughtful, this is indeed the book before me." I have been wanting to collect it for many years, but I have been asking for it to no avail! I never thought that I would actually get it before I was born!"
Mo Jingshen raised his hand and gently pressed it, asking Ji Nuan, who had been standing at the table, to sit down. When he spoke, his voice was as usual: "Nuan Nuan asked for the chess records specially for you. It took a lot of effort."
The old man nodded happily, his eyes seemed to be unable to leave the chess book in his hand, and he kept reading carefully page by page. It was obvious that he was really precious.
Ji Nuan quietly held Mo Jingshen's hand under the table and whispered, "You obviously won it, how can you say I begged for it?"
Mo Jingshen's voice was low in tone, but gentle and clear: "I am all yours, and what I win is of course also yours."
Ji Nuan: "..."
Invisibly, it seemed as if he was being teased again.
Ji Mengran, who was sitting across the table, was now pale and panicked. She really wanted to say that what Ji Nuan was holding was a chessboard, but now she was being looked at by all kinds of eyes, as well as her father's warning look towards her. She Looking up at Ji Nuan, for a moment, he didn't know how to resolve this matter.
What should she do now...
Everyone sitting here is very smart. Everyone can see how deliberately she wanted to drag Ji Nuan into the water just now. How can she explain it in a reasonable way
It seems... no explanation makes sense...
"Mengran." Ji Nuan's voice suddenly came, with a bit of coldness, and he called her in public.
Ji Mengran raised his eyes suddenly.
She was scared and hated now, and she couldn't hide the panic in her eyes.
Ji Nuan's tone was slow and protracted, but there was a coldness that could not be ignored: "I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding between us. It's your first time here at the Mo family. Why don't you go with me to the yard behind and have a chat?"
Ji Mengran's face turned pale.
After such a long time, she has realized that Ji Nuan is no longer the same temperament that she used to do whatever she wanted.
In addition to the Ji Mo family, there are also many famous people sitting here. It's really a big loss!
Ji Mengran lowered his head and said nothing, but did not want to follow her.
Ji Hongwen said angrily: "Why don't you go out with your sister quickly? Do you want to continue to stumble in front of so many people? Your sister has already given you enough face!"
Mr. Mo also said coldly: "Indeed, I think there seems to be some misunderstanding between you sisters. This sister framed my sister in public. This is the first time in my life, old man, that I have seen this. If you have anything to say, go and talk to me later."
Ji Mengran's expression became even more flustered, his eyes flickered, he didn't dare to look at them or Ji Nuan: "I... I just..."
Ji Nuan didn't plan to have a complete stalemate with Ji Mengran so soon at first. Firstly, she didn't find a suitable opportunity, and secondly, she wanted to take the opportunity to figure out all Ji Mengran's options.
But now this opportunity is very appropriate. Since Ji Mengran doesn't want to live a good life anymore, don't blame her for being rude.
…
Ji Mengran followed Ji Nuan out of the banquet hall. Ji Nuan was speechless all the way. Ji Mengran followed behind, beating the drum secretly in his heart.
When they arrived at the Mo family's backyard where there were fewer people, Ji Nuan turned around.
Ji Mengran raised his head at the same time and stared at her, seizing the opportunity and said: "Sister, let me tell you directly. What happened today was indeed intentional, but it was also because of you some time ago... "
"Snapped!"
The extremely loud slap was so crisp and sudden that even the servants passing by in the distance were startled.
Ji Mengran was so shocked that he couldn't even make an expression.
She couldn't believe that Ji Nuan actually slapped her.
What's even more unbelievable is that the person who hit her was Ji Nuan, who had been letting her go and loving her since she was a child!
Ji Mengran raised her hands to cover her face, so shocked that the muscles on her face stiffened.
After a long time, she screamed in disbelief: "Ji Nuan! You actually hit me—"
"Snapped!"
Another sharp slap was slapped hard, causing Ji Mengran's face to turn to one side.
Ji Nuan's cold voice was as cold as ice: "The one I'm going to beat is you! You're shameless and want to die endlessly!"
Ji Mengran screamed again angrily: "Ji Nuan!"
She has never been beaten before in her life!
But she was actually beaten by Ji Nuan! I even hit him twice!
Ji Mengran was trembling with anger: "Ji Nuan! What I hate is your self-righteous arrogance! Why do you have to stand on my head everywhere? Why can you..."
Ji Nuan sneered, raised her hand and slapped her again.
Ji Mengran didn't expect that there would be a third blow, and was stunned. His whole face was frozen in the same expression as when he just spoke.
