Chapter 645 (1/2)

“It’s so late. I just blacklisted you. How can you call me at such a time for such a trivial matter? Can’t you just let me sleep?” Ji Nuan complained.

The man said flatly. “It’s so late. I just refused to change my WeChat avatar. How can you blacklist me?”

Ji Nuan: “…”

“I’ve gotta go to bed. I’ll move you out of the blacklist after you change your avatar.” Without giving him any time to speak, Ji Nuan quickly hung up in case he would continue to say something that she couldn’t refute.

In Ao Lan International, the man leaned against the door frame, slightly narrowed his deep, dark, and placid eyes, and looked that phone screen that went dark.

The next morning, Ji Nuan got up, took a shower, and got out of the bathroom. She picked up her cell phone and found the screen frozen at the blacklist page. She clicked the blacklist, only to find Mo Jingshen’s avatar remained the same. She refreshed the page but it still remained the same.

He still didn’t change it.

That night, charity banquet.

It was an ordinary banquet, attended by celebrities of Hai City. After coming back to China, Ji Nuan had attended numerous social events and banquets, so she knew a lot of people here. Although the dirty water splashed on her had been washed clean, some people still gossiped behind her. Besides, it shocked many people that Ji Nuan was Mo Jingshen’s wife. Those men who tried to hit on her dared not approach her.

After all, Ji Nuan had been very famous in the Chinese business circle. Now knowing that the man behind her was Mo Jingshen, they dared not to mess around with her again.

The dinner party wasn’t over until 10:30 p.m.

It was already ten o ‘clock. She drank red wine in boredom and waited patiently for the dinner to be over. Although her pursuers dared not approach her tonight, there were still a few girls or ladies knowing that came by occasionally to talk to her, but they were obviously testing her, wearing a false smile on their face and asking her whether what CEO Mo said in the media the other day was true or not.

She was toasted. She had no more than two glasses of wine in all, and the wine in the glasses was only a little at the bottom. She took it courteously, clinked glasses with the other party, and exchanged pleasantries with him as she did at most social gatherings, although everyone was smiling at the banquet, nobody knew what others were actually thinking, and after a few words, the man who toasted her left.

At last, at half-past ten, the dinner was over as scheduled, and after the speeches of several leaders of the municipal government, there was thunderous applause. Ji Nuan played with a glass of wine that had just been brought in by the waiter. As the crowd moved out, she put the half-empty glass into the tray of a passing waiter and turned away.

However, she was about to walk out of the hotel when the hall suddenly darkened.

She was stunned for a few seconds, wondering whether it was a power failure or tripping. Fortunately, the dinner party had ended, and here was not far from the exit. Otherwise, nobody knew what would happen in the chaos.

Ji Nuan was about to follow the crowd out in the darkness with her dress in her hand. All around her were people hurrying forward because of the sudden darkness, and she didn’t notice that someone was approaching her.
