Chapter 662 (2/2)

Ji Nuan turned to glance at him. “I’m the person involved. When it comes to choosing between someone who has loved and cared for me, and the person responsible for my birth, I have the best understanding. The right to choose and decide lies in my hand. Mr. Xiao, you don’t have any right to criticize my morals just because of my choice.”

Xiao Zhenjun was choked by her words.

Ji Nuan’s temper was unbelievably identical to his. If his temper could soften in any way, back then, things would never escalate to such a manner between him and her mother. Precisely because he understood himself too well, he somewhat understood Ji Nuan.

During such a time, there was nothing he could do or say to sway her. He could only hope that time could resolve the issues between them and slowly wash away the grievances. Perhaps only that would allow her to acknowledge her identity as a Xiao family member.

At this moment, Ji Nuan’s phone rang. She turned to answer it.

As she did not head to the office on Monday, there were some things the company needed her to rush back for.

She hung up the phone and checked the time. She then turned to inform Ji Hongwen that the company had work she had to rush to and that she would find time to return home again.

As she made to leave, she paused by Xiao Zhenjun’s side, speaking mildly: “Chairman Xiao, please take your leave from the Ji home. Since you both made the promise to stay away from one another years ago, please be more self-aware and leave. My Dad’s mood has been poor recently and his health isn’t doing very well. Please don’t be an eyesore to him.”

Xiao Zhenjun’s eyelids twitched. He turned to look at her but Ji Nuan did not return his gaze. She left without turning back.

At this moment, the United States, Los Angeles.

A black off-road vehicle has been parked outside the Shine Group’s headquarters’ entrance for quite some time.

Nanheng, who sat inside the car, gazed toward the helicopter hovering above Shine Group’s rooftop. He picked up his phone and called Mo Jingshen.

“The remnants of Aqib and Dali’s people have gathered from Cambodia. They’ve been hidden in ambush for quite some time. It seems like they are getting ready to take on our base to make an attempt against Shine’s headquarter. This country is too strict, and they haven’t successfully made their way in. Right now, the office has only received a few bomb threats, but the Shine employees are fearful. Almost half of them haven’t been coming in for work. They’re using such a method to force you back to America. What do you plan to do?”
