Since he asked her to rest, she would rest. Ji Nuan decided to head to the hospital to receive Xia Tian who was about to be discharged.

However, because her hands could not carry anything, she received a big eye roll from Xia Tian.

“What’s the use of having you around!”

Ji Nuan had already found accommodations for Xia Tian near the studio. After all, Xia Tian was coming purely to assist her, and she did not ask for any payment. Although this Xia family’s young lady had left her family, she did not lack in money at all. The only thing Ji Nuan could do for her was to arrange everything to keep her from constantly moving while her leg was still in recovery.

As they drove toward Xia Tian’s new pace, Xia Tian kept nagging, “Say, you managed to hurt your hand to this degree even while receiving a package. How can your family’s Mo Jingshen’s heart not ache?”

“Even if his heart aches, what can he do. I’m really to be blamed for being so careless.” Ji Nuan recalled that yesterday, Qin Siting had said her palms only needed to be bandaged for one day. Afterward, she only had to apply the medication regularly. Thus, she slowly struggled to untie the bandage while summarizing yesterday’s incident to Xia Tian.

After listening to her, Xia Tian first remained quiet because the taxi driver was also present. After alighting, she asked the person helping her with her luggage to head in first. She stood outside to ask Ji Nuan, “This package was clearly sent by a love rival, meant to scare you off! Who has the guts to send such a thing to your studio? Aren’t they openly issuing a challenge?”

While speaking, Xia Tian faced Ji Nuan head-on. “Aside from that An Shuyan, do you know what other love rivals you have?”

The topic was brought onto the two words, ‘love rival.’ Ji Nuan could not help but think deeply.

“Since its a package from America, it should be unrelated to Ji Mengran. As for America’s side…” Ji Nuan hesitated for a moment. “Aside from An Shuyan, I really don’t know who else there can be…”

Xia Tian appeared clearly impatient with her. “How can you not know who is staring at the piece of meat that is your husband?”

“…”

“Has Mo Jingshen ever had any other women within or outside of the country; do you at least know that?”

“I’m not too sure. I’ve only heard some rumors, but I can’t confirm if they are true.”

Xia Tian rolled her eyes toward the sky. “You don’t even know such a thing. Nuan Nuan, exactly how at ease are you with him? Mo Jingshen is a rare, high-quality man. How many women are staying at home, hoping to sleep with him? You’re not even going to guard him a little?”

“But I trust him.”

“What fart’s use does trust have! Right now, this love rival has already thrown a knife at you. This time it’s a dismembered doll dressed in a wedding gown and covered in blades clearly meant to frighten and curse you! Next time, who knows what it will be! You have to investigate this thoroughly. Mo Jingshen once stayed in America for a long period, and An Shuyan was only a suitable woman his father forcefully arranged for him. He might not take her seriously, but does that mean he has never had any other women or other women who are watching him like a tiger watches its prey?! A doll dressed in a wedding gown is clearly meant to represent the deep resentment against your marriage! If this isn’t a love rival provoking you, what else can it be?”

“All right, all right. Quickly go in. You’re giving me goosebumps.”

Xia Tian refused to go in, standing outside the door to continue. “No matter how well Mo Jingshen treats you, he is still a mature man. It cannot be that he has never even had a first love before you, right?”

“… I don’t know.”

Xia Tian was almost driven mad by her. “Nuan Nuan, let me tell you. If your heart remains so generous, in the future, you won’t even know if a woman directly charged into his bed! From the start, Mo Jingshen was Hai Cheng’s, and in fact, the country’s most idolized male god chased by numerous unattached young women! Right now, he is Mo Corporation’s CEO and Mo family’s only grandson. If he heads to America to inherit Shine in the future, there’ll be even more women throwing themselves at him. If you don’t quickly guard him, you won’t be able to chase those women away in the future even if you wave a flyswatter in front of him!”

Ji Nuan: “…”

“You’ve always held a grudge against this marriage. That was in the past. Now, since you intend to live well with Mo Jingshen, you have to have a good understanding of his past. Otherwise, what will you do if this situation repeats itself? You love rival has already sent such a thing over to taunt you, yet you don’t even know who the other party is. Your enemy is hidden from your sight, which means you’re on the losing end!” Xia Tian tugged on her earnestly.

Ji Nuan pulled Xia Tian toward the residence. “I’ve known from the start that there are many women who like him. Don’t even mention America. Just in Hai Cheng alone, there are several thousands of wealthy young ladies who are unhappy with me, who can’t wait for me to disappear completely.”

“But someone who would come to frighten you so openly is obviously not simple! I know Mo Jingshen is very indulgent toward you. Is your sex life going well?” Xia Tian suddenly asked.

Ji Nuan pursed her lips.

“Aiya, forget it. Even though your hands are injured, your smile and your reddened cheeks clearly show you’ve been well-loved. From the way I see it, Mo Jingshen is truly very dedicated to you. Any other woman who wants to possess Mo Jingshen would definitely be extremely jealous and driven mad for sure. They deserve it, having thoughts about someone else’s husband. What one does, God watches!”

“Nuan Nuan, you have to remember this. Mo Jingshen is yours now, but there are too many people who wish to take away this piece of meat. You have to hold onto him tightly. Don’t lose him.”

Ji Nuan rolled her eyes. “Aren’t I doing well right now. Why are you already mourning?”

“I’m reminding you! Watch out, or you won’t even know when your meat is taken away!”

“…”

Three days later, Ji Nuan’s hands were healed. Aside from the two deeper cuts on her palms that had to avoid contact with water, her hands could basically move normally. Only the skin on her palm needed more time to recover.

The professor on T University’s side would begin his class next week. Ji Nuan needed first to return to the Ji home and settle Shen Heru’s issue.

In her past life, she was unable to prevent her father from passing away from organ failure. In this life, she definitely could not allow Shen Heru’s scheme to succeed.

Early on, Ji Nuan gave a call to Ji Hongwen to inform him that she would visit. When she came by in the evening, she saw Ji Mengran standing by the living room entrance displaying an aggressive stance.

As she met Ji Mengran’s gaze, Ji Nuan’s expression was composed. Only Ji Mengran was filled with anger. Her agitation drove her to block Ji Nuan’s path abruptly. “Ji Nuan! You actually have the guts to return to the Ji family! What exactly are your intentions? The last time you threw me in such a place and almost cost me my life! You’re clearly hiding malicious thoughts! Now you’ve run back to pretend to be a good person in front of Dad again? Showing one face in front of him and another behind him, how can you be so disgusting!”

“One face in front of him, and another behind him?” Ji Nuan returned Ji Mengran’s accusing and hateful gaze and chuckled. “Are you sure you’re not talking about yourself?”

“Who are you talking about here when you bring up malicious thoughts? Compared to you, how can I possibly live up to those words? You were even capable of bribing a psychiatrist to prescribe drugs meant to weaken your sister’s mental state. How can anyone be more malicious than you? You took advantage of me while my emotions were unstable to urge me to get a divorce every day and even incited me to attempt suicide to force Mo Jingshen to leave, who can be more vicious than you?”

Ji Nuan refuted her words without holding anything back. She saw Ji Hongwen approaching behind Ji Mengran and kept her words clear and distinct; she was completely unrelenting.

Ji Mengran turned pale from her words. However, she immediately acted as though she was in the right. “On what basis are you pushing these responsibilities onto me? How would I know what sort of medicine the doctor would prescribe for you? The one who needs to see a psychiatrist is you. The one who has a mental problem is also you, it’s not me! Who knows if you’re hallucinating because your brain has a problem!”

Ji Mengran then angrily continued. “Anyway, you didn’t suicide. When did I incite you to suicide? Do you have evidence? Do you have witnesses? Those are all things you’ve hallucinated. Don’t frame me!”

Recalling her previous life, when she had collapsed in the bathtub after losing too much blood, Ji Nuan felt the urge to deliver a firm slap onto Ji Mengran’s face.

Ji Nuan’s expression was cold. “If you don’t want me to hit you, scram. A good dog doesn’t block the door.”

“Who are you scolding?”

“I didn’t publicly confront you when we were at the Mo family home because I was taking Dad’s face into consideration. Right now, I don’t have the mood to argue with you. Get out of my way!”

Ji Mengran stood by the door, refusing to move. “You want to hit me? This is the Ji home. There’s no Mo Jingshen to support you. I’ll see if you dare to hit…”

With a “pa” sound, Ji Nuan slapped her face without hesitation.

Ji Mengran froze. In the next instant, her expression grew unhappy as she reached over to grab Ji Nuan’s hair. Ji Nuan moved backward to avoid her. If it were not because of the wound on her palm, she would have delivered a firmer slap.

Seeing that Ji Mengran appeared to have lost her mind and was about to pick a fight with Ji Nuan, Ji Hongwen, who had already heard most of their words, abruptly said, “Enough! What are you fighting about right in front of our door?”

Ji Mengran instantly stiffened. She turned back to meet Ji Hongwen’s gaze and became flustered. “Dad… it’s Ji Nuan who…”

Ji Hongwen did not even look at her. He only glanced at Ji Nuan. “Come in first.”

After entering, Ji Hongwen asked, “What exactly is going on? Although you’ve frequently been arguing with Meng Ran a lot recently, and she did go out of line previously, but were the things you said earlier all true?”

“Dad, Ji Nuan is framing me. Don’t listen to her nonsense…” Ji Mengran frantically tried to explain herself. “You were also there when I came home that day. I was drenched in the rain for the entire night. I was cold, disheveled, and I almost died outside! She’s clearly the one that has always acted viciously against her own sister…”

“You shut up.” Ji Hongwen glanced at her in cold rage, unable to tolerate her incessant noise.

Ji Mengran unhappily gritted her teeth. She remained in her position and glared at Ji Nuan.

Clearly, the fright she suffered that night was not light.

Ji Nuan coldly glanced at her. “There’s no need to panic. I will fully and clearly describe everything you’ve done to Dad. Even if you try to stop me, you wouldn’t be able to.”

“I haven’t done anything! Don’t slander me!”

Ji Nuan did not argue with her further. She only calmly stated, “Dad, I came here today to discuss something with you. Let’s talk about Meng Ran another day. We need to discuss the proper things first.”

Ji Hongwen knitted his brows. Looking at Ji Nuan’s grim and stern expression, he asked, “Why? What happened?”

“Let’s go to your study to speak.” Ji Nuan shifted to head for the stairs.

“Ji Nuan, if you have anything to say, say it here! Don’t think that you can go behind my back to tell Dad lies about me! I’ll admit everything I’ve done. But don’t even think about framing me for the things I’ve never done!” Ji Mengran reached out abruptly to push Ji Nuan.

Right now, Ji Mengran was not important to Ji Nuan. She did not move back after being pushed, and instead, she forcefully grabbed Ji Mengran’s wrist to push her aside. She turned to look at her. “Do you think that the world revolves around you? When I speak to Dad alone, must it be about you? Who do you think you are? Just because you’ve stuck a few sham goods onto your face, you really think you’re outstanding?”

Shen Heru heard them and walked out. She immediately resisted the urge to smile as she approached after seeing the stern Ji Nuan. “Nuan Nuan, ah, why are you losing your temper the moment you come home? A few days ago, Meng Ran’s phone was shattered. Was it done by you? As an elder sister, you’re really too immature. Now that you’ve become Mrs. Mo, you sure are capable. You’re even losing your temper with your own sister. Your anger comes as it wishes. If this Ji family isn’t big enough for you, no one is begging you to stay. Why are you making such a fuss the moment you come back? The Ji family is usually so peaceful, but the moment you step in, there’s such a big commotion!”

Ji Nuan’s eyes were cold and distant. She did not pay any mind to Shen Heru who could not even guarantee her own safety right now let alone protect someone else. She only calmly looked at Ji Mengran. “Your pitiful act may be sufficient for you to mess about at home, but don’t keep it up in front of me. It’ll only disgust me. Aren’t you aware of how your own phone was broken? You went around half of Hai Cheng to stalk me. My bodyguard was only fulfilling her responsibilities when she thought that you would harm me. She was already being considerate to your family name when she shattered your phone instead of smashing her fists onto your body. You still have the guts to argue with me at home?”

These words were spoken openly in front of Ji Hongwen and Shen Heru. Ji Mengran was instantly confronted with a strong enemy and could not conceal the fluster in her eyes. “I was only passing by that day. On what basis are you concluding I was stalking you. You’re clearly the one that finds me an eyesore. You intentionally used your bodyguard to frighten me! If your bodyguard dares to hit me, if I don’t sue her entire family into being jailed, my surname isn’t Ji!”

Ji Nuan smiled coldly. “Look at your own face and lips. You’re guilty as a thief. Although your mouth is being loud, your expression has already betrayed you.”

Ji Hongwen did not speak, but his brows were fiercely knitted as he watched his second daughter.

Sensing her father’s gaze, Ji Mengran finally backed down slightly. That night, she was really provoked to the point of wanting to kill Ji Nuan. Right now, the hatred in her eyes as she watched Ji Nuan was only increasing like a flood. It did not reduce at all.

Yet, Ji Nuan remained indifferent from beginning to end. She had even kept away her originally polite mask, clearly displaying her stance of breaking off all ties.

“Dad, don’t believe her words,” Ji Mengran suppressed her voice to say quietly.

“After what happened at the Mo family, didn’t I already warn you. You can either choose to scram overseas to study or stay locked up at home to reflect for a few months. You’re not allowed to leave the house, and you’re not allowed to look for trouble with Ji Nuan! You’ve treated my words like a fart, haven’t you?” Ji Hongwen held a cup of tea that Shen Heru had brought over and abruptly smashed it next to Ji Mengran’s feet.
