Although the aunt was envious and in disbelief, after a long moment, she forced a smile out. She did not wish to offend the wrong person and was still dreaming of the money and new properties. She directly spoke up with a false smile: "Ah, when did Ji Nuan get married? We didn't even know. Since we're all family here, you see, Ji Nuan's cards have been frozen. It's not convenient for her to give the family money. Can you help her give some?"
Based on Ji Nuan's understanding of humankind, she had truly never expected that someone could be this shameless.
The people from small cities tended to be simple and honest. Someone like her aunt whose skin was unbelievably thick was truly rare.
Yet, Mo Jingshen's gaze only swept past her aunt indifferently. His lips lifted into a faint smirk, yet he remained cold: "Between a married couple, isn't it common for wives to control the family finance? My cards are all in Nuan Nuan's hands. Unsurprisingly, they should also have been frozen today."
Her aunt's smile instantly collapsed. She turned to look at Song Sisi and Song Keke. The two sisters were completely charmed by Mo Jingshen, but with his one sentence, they were startled awake.
Noticing their mother's glaring eyes, Song Sisi knitted her brows and asked with some embarrassment: "How can it be that rich people like you don't leave a single card for yourself? Although my Cousin's wallet has a lot of cards, and we can't tell which belongs to who, it can't be that the two of you only have these cards..."
Mo Jingshen's gaze finally shifted onto Song Sisi. He glanced at her coldly: "One card has many uses. How many could I possibly need?"
Song Sisi was silenced by his answer.
Indeed, a black card contained at least ten million yuan. If it were a global, limitless black card, then there was truly no need to have more than one. It seemed like wealthy people like them did not need several credit cards to accumulate points as they did, nor was there a need to keep other things in their wallets. One card alone was sufficient. Looking at what Ji Nuan had in her wallet, perhaps what she had was more than enough.
"But..." Song Sisi was unwilling to give up, and was especially unhappy that Ji Nuan was actually married. To think that her husband appeared as though he had stepped right out of a movie screen; he was even more attractive than a lot of male models and superstars. Looking at his tall and perfect figure, the two sisters' felt unbearably sour in their hearts. If they could not obtain some money today, the anger would likely result in several days of insomnia.
Mo Jingshen directly cut her off: "The three of you proclaimed yourselves to be her relatives, yet none of you even realized that she was running a high fever last night. Nuan Nuan rarely leaves home alone, and it was difficult for me to set my heart at ease. I rushed here overnight to accompany her, yet the moment I arrived, I found my precious baby unconscious on the bed. Her fever wouldn't reduce, and there was even a bowl of instant noodles she went out to buy in spite of the rain. It's clear that you guys didn't even leave her dinner. When has she ever suffered like this? She took you guys as her relatives and tolerated it, but it seems like you guys don't know your own limits. Do you really think her temper is weak to the point where you can push her around as you please?"
The man's tone was mild and composed, but it was also cold and dripping frost, causing one to tremble.
Ji Nuan wasn't as affected and did not tremble. However, she felt that her goosebumps were about to fall off!
Precious baby? What plaything was that?
"No... it's not like that, last night, she was clearly the one who said that she wasn't hungry..."
From her aunt's answer, it was clear that Ji Nuan's life or death meant absolutely nothing to her. Even though she had heard that Ji Nuan was unconscious last night, she did not ask about her fever and instead rushed to explain the missing dinner.
Ji Nuan lifted one corner of her lips coldly. She felt thankful in heart, thankful that her mother had left this place back then.
"When your daughters have no appetite at night, won't you keep some food for them in the refrigerator to be warmed up later?" Mo Jingshen watched her aunt. His ink-black gaze was cold and displeased. He recalled the way Ji Nuan had curled up miserably in her blanket this morning, and his gaze turned icier.
Her aunt moved her lips but could not say anything.
"By my side, Nuan Nuan has never had to suffer any sort of grievances. This was a rare opportunity for her to return to her mother's home. Who would have thought that she would be put through so much? That she is able to stand here patiently already shows that her temper is considerably good. If I had been present, anyone who dared to cause trouble in front of her would definitely have to face the consequences. Right now, Nuan Nuan only came back to retrieve her things. If I didn't see wrongly, earlier, you raised your hand to hit her?"
The man spoke with his cold, low, and heavy tone right by her side. Ji Nuan watched Mo Jingshen's indifferent and handsome complexion from the corner of her eyes. This man was typically of few words, yet he actually said so much, and every single word was protective of her.
Ji Nuan pursed her lips.
Her aunt originally wanted to regain her own face by twisting logic, but upon meeting the man's indifferent gaze, the intense danger she sensed caused her to tremble subconsciously. It felt as if, if she dared to say a single word to make Ji Nuan unhappy, he would do as he said and immediately made them pay for it.
"Earlier... that, that was a misunderstanding..." She kept her gaze away and did not dare to look Mo Jingshen in the eye again. She felt that this man definitely could not be provoked. If poor people like them really offended him, it was likely that they could be easily pinched to death like ants.
She secretly reached out and pinched Song Sisi and Song Keke's waist harshly. The two sisters' eyes immediately reddened. They cooperatively choked out softly: "Yes, yes, yes. It was a misunderstanding. Cousin, please don't be upset at us. It was all a misunderstanding."
Watching their antics, Ji Nuan's eyes immediately turned cold.
In the past few years, she had grown used to power in the business world, and was also used to presenting a firm side to counter the vicious ones. When she left to visit her grandmother, she had hopes of visiting her relatives, and because of the feelings she had for her mother, she did not do as she usually did and tolerated through the past two days. As a result, they had almost climbed on top of her head.
Indeed, when it came to people like them, it was useless to tolerate and take blood relations into account. From the beginning, she should have made her limits clear to them.
If she had been even slightly careless, they would have taken advantage of her.
"Was it a misunderstanding? I'm sure we all know the answer in our hearts." A mild smile played on Ji Nuan's lips, but it caused her to appear indifferent and cold.
