    Especially when Su Xueyi suddenly saw Ji Nuan, she stared at her with red eyes as if being stimted, and then turned and came straight to Ji Nuan.


    Before Ji Nuan had noticed Su Xueyi’s motion, Mo Jingshen had quietly drawn her behind him and shielded her with his body.


    “Ji Nuan? Why are you here?” As if not seeing anyone else, Su Xueyi stared at Ji Nuan.


    Su Xueyi was about to go up to her when Mo Jingshen’s cold and indifferent voice rang. “Elder Su, what do you mean?”


    “Xueyi has been cooped up at home since she was frightenedst time. Now it’s Spring Festival, and we can’t keep this child in the room all day. As her best friend, Zhn took her to this dinner party for rxation. You know, she suffers a mental illness, so if we take her to ces where there are a lot of people maybe she can get better,” Elder Su said all smiles.


    <i>Mental illness?</i>


    No wonder Su Xueyi looked so strange. It turned out that she had a mental illness, but Su Xueyi could still speak out her name. Did Mo Jingshen or Nan Heng do something to Su Xueyi because of what Su Xueyi did to her? She knew they would surely take revenge on her, but what kind of revenge had frightened her into this state?


    She had lost at least ten pounds, and she looked so pale and frightened, which couldn’t be faked. Obviously, she was indeed ill.


    Ji Nuan didn’te forward but, standing behind Mo Jingshen, looked pensively at Su Xueyi, who kept staring at her as her eyes grew redder and redder.


    “Come on, Xueyi, Miss Ji just came to attend this dinner party. Let the past be the past. She won’t do anything to you anymore. Don’t be afraid.” Su Zhn took Su Xueyi’s hand, coaxing her in a voice that was loud enough to be heard by everyone present, looking like a good sister who doted on her poor little cousin.


    The people present were all surprised at what she said.


    No one knew why Su Xueyi suddenly became like this, but from what Su Zhn said, it seemed that Su Xueyi became ill because of Ji Nuan? Su Xueyi was scared of Ji Nuan? It was known to everyone that the Su family was very powerful. Su Xueyi was a member of the Su family. So, was it because of Ji Nuan that Su Zhn lost her fiancée, and Su Xueyi was driven mad?


    In an instant, everyone gave Ji Nuan strange looks while she nced expressionlessly at Su Zhn, who took Su Xueyi into the crowd. She didn’t expect that Su Zhn would take Su Xueyi here. What was the point for her to do these meaningless things?


    Mo Jingshen suddenly tightened his grip of her hand as if trying tofort her. Ji Nuan couldn’t help cracking a smile at him, ignoring those strange stares.


    Then, Su Xueyi, who had just been taken away, suddenly looked back and stared crazily at Ji Nuan.


    Ji Nuan withdrew her gaze from Su Xueyi and asked Mo Jingshen in a low voice behind him, “What’s wrong with her?”


    Mo Jingshen tightened his grip of her hand again and looked back at her. “Let’s leave earlier tonight. We’d better not stay here for long, okay?”


    Ji Nuan nodded, and Feng Ling, standing beside her, said to her in a voice that only she and Mo Jingshen could hear, “You were kidnapped in T Cityst time, which was nned by Su Xueyi. The Su family used to be connected with the underworld, so she dared do that to you and cooperated with that night cer owner to kidnap you. After she was sent back to the US, Nan Heng had K and his brothers teach her a lesson, and she has been like this since then.”


    Ji Nuan looked at Mo Jingshen and then at Feng Ling. “So, what did K and his men did to Su Xueyi?”


    “They just paid her back in kind. They drugged and kidnapped her. She was beaten, threatened, and sold to an underworld bar of the American ck market. She was bought by three men and tortured by them for several days. When the Su family had the police save her, she was in the brink of death.”


    The horrible scenest time popped out in Ji Nuan’s mind. If Mo Jingshen hadn’te in time, she might not have been able to escape from those people. Then what would have happened? Would she havemitted suicide after being raped, or would she not even had had the strength tomit suicide and then be sold over and over again?


    Su Xueyi just reaped the fruits of her own actions. K and his men just copied her means, so she could me no one but herself.


    Su Xueyi was frightened and then tortured by three men. No wonder she became so spaced out and skinny.


    The Su family people were gone, but Mo Jingshen still held her hands and stayed by her side, not leaving her again.


    When the banquet was in full swing, there was a burst ofughter and apuse. It seemed that Mo Shaoze was drinking with several business partners of his. Seeing that many people around were apuding, Ji Nuan also raised her hands to follow the apuse. Her eyes searched among the crowd, but she didn’t see Su Xueyi and Su Zhn.


    Had Su Zhn taken Su Xueyi away because thetter was in such a poor condition? After all, she had sessfully taken advantage of Su Xueyi to sshed dirty water on Ji Nuan.


    When everyone was toasting together, Ji Nuan didn’t drink because she was pregnant. Mo Jingshen smiled and quietly held her hand in his. He was really good-looking, especially when he smiled.


    The dinner party went well. When it was about to end, Ji Nuan touched her belly. As a pregnant woman, she needed to go to the restroom frequently. She said, “Jingshen, I’m going to the restroom.”


    Mo Jingshen happened to be talking with one of his business partners, and he certainly couldn’t apany her into thedies’ room, so he patted her hand and signaled her to go with Feng Ling. “Let Feng Ling go with you.”


    “All right.”


    Ji Nuan turned to search for Feng Ling, only to see Nan Heng was pushing Feng Ling into a corner when no one was paying attention.


    In the dark corner, a man and a woman…


    Ji Nuan: “…”


    It seemed that she shouldn’t go over now!


    She nced over there, then at the restroom a few steps behind her…


    On this side, Feng Ling finally broke free from Nan Heng’s arms and took a look at the dining hall expressionlessly, only to find that Ji Nuan, who had been following Mo Jingshen, disappeared.


    Feng Ling looked around in confusion but suddenly found that Su Zhn was standing with Elder Su, and Su Xueyi was not in sight.
