    “It’s next to the Hai City branch of Shine Group, namely, the former Mo Corporation. It was a bank that was demolished and rebuilt, and now it’s an 80-story office building, as tall as Shine.”


    Xia Tian wanted to say that if Ji Nuan moved there and ced her office on the top floor, she could be Mo Jingshen’s neighbor.


    After all, with the same height, the same floor, and the same French windows, they could see each other in the office as soon as they turned around.


    However, before she said it, she saw the cold look on Ji Nuan’s face.


    Ji Nuan. “No.”


    Xia Tian. “...although this building isrge enough for office space, MN Group is no longer an ordinary, smallpany now, and it ranks among the top ten Chinese enterprises in the world. Don’t you feel it unsuitable to choose this office building on the west side of the city as our headquarters?”


    “Not at all. Hai City is so big, and that office building in downtown is not our only choice. If we don’t want to stay on the west side of the city, we can go to the east, the north, the south, or othermercial areas. The office buildings in the high street may be expensive but we can afford them. Why do we have to go downtown?”


    Xia Tian went speechless and said no more, lest Ji Nuan should really lose her temper.


    In the evening, when it was time to get off work, Xia Tian, on behalf of the old colleagues in thepany, wanted to ask Ji Nuan if she would like to have dinner with them to wee her home.


    When she went to her office, however, Ji Nuan walked out.


    The woman in the red dress was gorgeous. Even if she only walked out of the office, she looked stunningly beautiful, and the eyes of several male employees passing by on this floor were glued on her.


    “Xiao Ba and other colleagues ask if you’re going to have dinner with us tonight.”


    “Perhaps some other day. I just got back today, and I want to go home and clean up tonight.” Ji Nuan said and pushed the elevator’s button, saying tly, “I need to go back to the Ji family first. I heard that Ji Mengran finally showed up. I have to go back to have a look.”


    “Okay. Then let’s have dinner together this weekend. You haven’te back for more than three years. These old colleagues from the studio have been guarding thispany for you in Hai City. You should have dinner with us anyway.”


    “Okay, let’s make it this weekend,” Ji Nuan said as the elevator’s door opened. She turned to smile at Xia Tian and the other colleagues. “See you tomorrow.”


    Xia Tian stood and looked at the elevator door until it closed.


    After a long silence, she turned her eyes to Xiao Ba, who was about to turn around to work and grabbed her hand.


    Suddenly being yanked, Xiao Ba staggered, quickly steadied her body, and turned around, asking in surprise, “Sister Xia?”


    “Has Ji Nuan been like this for years in Ennd?” Xia Tian asked, indicating the direction of the elevator with her chin.


    “Like what?” Xiao Ba was confused.


    “Like just now. Didn’t you say that Mr. Vinse often went to Ennd during the three years? Didn’t you say that Mr. Vinse has been chasing her, but she hasn’t had any interest in him? Then has she ever mentioned Mo Jingshen?”


    Xiao Ba shook her head. “No.”


    “She didn’t say a word about Mo Jingshen?”


    Xiao Ba continued to shake her head. “No, not at all.”


    ...


    That night, Ji Nuan returned to the 200-meter condo she had bought three years ago before she left for London. The condo was near the old office building, some distance from the west side of the city. Xia Tian had got her a car, but in the past three years, many viaducts had been built in Hai City. She was afraid that she was not familiar with the roads and might get lost, so she didn’t drive but took a taxi.


    She had lived in this apartment for only two or three days, leaving a lot of luggage behind and then leaving without even cleaning up the house.


    She opened the door and went in. Nothing had changed except that no one had cleaned it for three years, so dust had fallen on all the furniture, and a thinyer of dust had fallen on the suitcases.


    Ji Nuan walked in with the suitcase in her hand and called security to hire a housekeeper from a housekeepingpany. She and the housekeeper spent more than an hour cleaning up the apartment.


    When the housekeeper left, Ji Nuan went in and opened the suitcases she had left behind.


    The clothes that she had worn three years ago in Hai City reappeared in her vision,puters that she had used three years ago, some paraphernalia, and...


    She was probably going to live here for some time, so Ji Nuan just hung up all the clothes she could still wear in the closet.


    After emptying several suitcases, she picked up thest one and, as she pulled out its contents, saw the velvet box at the bottom.


    She paused, looked at the velvet boxes for a few seconds, and then looked away. She knew it was the blue diamond. She took the box, threw it into a drawer in the middle of the closet together with a bunch of things like phone chargers, and then closed the drawer without even looking at it. Then she turned around and moved on to the other things.


    It was not untilte at night, after taking a bath, that Ji Nuan fell down on the sofa, exhausted.


    She still had some supplies to buy but decided to buy it tomorrow night. She really had no energy left. She took such a long flight toe back to China and then dealt with the problems of Heng Cheng. Up to now, she hadn’t had a rest and was seriouslycking physical strength.


    Just when Ji Nuan was leaning on the sofa and was about to fall asleep, her cell phone suddenly beeped, indicating that the cell phone was out of battery.


    With her eyes closed, she fumbled on the sofa. After getting the phone, she looked at the screen. The cell phone was only five percent charged. She had just returned to China, and tomorrow there would be a lot of work for her to do and a lot of phone calls for her to answer. Therefore, no matter how tired she was, she struggled to get up, went back to her bedroom, opened the closet, and took out the charger from the drawer.


    She had just pulled out the charger when a piece of string scratched open the velvet box she had thrown into the drawer, and the blue diamond that had been safely ced inside fell straight out of the box onto the carpet at her feet. It rolled around and came to rest.


    Ji Nuan paused, looked down at the blue diamond on the carpet. As she slowly plugged in the charger, she crouched down and picked it up.


    The bedroom light was not turned on, and the blue diamond reflected the moonlight from the window.


    If she suddenly returned something she couldn’t return three years ago, it was like she was provoking Grandfather Mo and provoking the Mo family.


    But what would she do with it if she did not return it?


    Would she just keep this precious diamond at home for no righteous reason?


    It didn’t seem appropriate.
