Chapter 602: Hearing This Voice, Ji Nuan Was Speechless......

As she expected, as soon as she entered the door, she saw that business partner, who had a big flattering smile on his face, was sitting beside Rong Cheng and chatting with him.
Rong Cheng, who she had met twice and had no good impression of, was sitting there with a cold look and looked in her direction.
As soon as she saw this man, she thought of the ‘princess,’ Rong Yan. She still looked at the business partner, saying with a smile, “CEO Zhao, so you invited me here to sign that cooperation project for a special reason?”
“CEO Ji, please don’t take me wrong. CEO Rong and I are on good terms, and he often mentioned you recently. I think he is interested in you, so I want to act as a go-between.” CEO Zhao was all smiles and looked at Ji Nuan meaningfully.
Ji Nuan curved the corners of her mouth and glanced indifferently at Rong Cheng who stood there and looked so arrogant. “CEO Rong is interested in me? I’m afraid that’s impossible. CEO Zhao, I don’t like your joke.”
Not expecting that Ji Nuan who was always gentle and polite would speak like this, CEO Zhao paused and then was a bit embarrassed.
Rong Cheng said, “Why impossible? CEO Ji is so pretty and so successful at such a young age. There must be a lot of men chasing you. It’s only natural that I like you.”
CEO Zhao echoed on the side. “Yes, yes, CEO Rong is so frank. ‘Lovely is this noble lady, the fit bride for our lord.’ Love is part of human nature, isn’t it?”
Ji Nuan: “...”
CEO Zhao, are you a fool?
Can’t you see that Rong Cheng’s eyes are icy? How can you think that he is interested in me?
Ji Nuan just smiled and didn’t speak. She would just roll with the punches.
“CEO Zhao, there are several friends waiting for you upstairs. Why don’t you go upstairs to meet them? I’ll go upstairs too when I finished talking with CEO Ji.” Rong Cheng turned his eyes to CEO Zhao.
CEO Zhao immediately nodded. “OK, OK, take your time.”
This restaurant was very high-graded. A causal western food here could consume more than ten thousand yuan. Ji Nuan found the food material samples exhibited on the table were air transported from abroad, which must be very expensive.
“CEO Ji, take a seat.” Since there wasn’t anyone else here, the smile on Rong Cheng’s face became cold. He motioned Ji Nuan to sit down and wasn’t as polite as just now.
Ji Nuan sat down and said, “I don’t think CEO Rong called me here through CEO Zhao just to have dinner with me. I don’t feel like chatting with a stranger, so just speak out your purpose. Don’t waste both your and my time.”
“CEO Ji, I invited you here to treat you to dinner and... let’s chat while eating. No hurry.” Rong Cheng sat opposite to her.
“With the Rong family’s power and money, this restaurant invested by your family must be one of the best restaurants in Beijing. I really appreciate your treat,” Ji Nuan said with a faint smile.
Rong Cheng called the waiter and randomly ordered several dishes that were the most expensive ones in the restaurant. Ji Nuan spotted that a single foreign steak cost eighteen thousand yuan and some other expensive food. It was not that Ji Nuan hadn’t eaten these dishes but that she had never seen anyone ordering so much expensive food at one time.
And then Rong Cheng ordered a bottle of 1982 Lafite.
After the waiter left with the menu, Rong Cheng played with the glass on the table with one hand and looked at Ji Nuan who sat silently and remained deadpan. “Although it’s not easy to investigate Mo Jingshen, I got some information about him from some friends in Hai City. You used to be married Mo Jingshen and divorced him three years ago, right?”
Ji Nuan raised her eyebrows. “Go on. You don’t have to ask me. If you’re not sure about the information, you won’t invite me here to have dinner and drink Lafite, will you?”
Rong Cheng smiled but his eyes were cold. “Since CEO Ji has no interest in talking long with me, I’ll come straight to the point. As far as I know, you’re not Ji Hongwen’s biological daughter. You divorced Mo Jingshen only less than one year after you married him. For the following three years, you had been in London and came back to China several months ago. I think you’re a very talented businesswoman. No matter whether you are really a daughter of the Ji family or not, you’ll have a bright future as long as you get enough help, and then no one will talk about your lowly birth. As long as MN Group develops well, it’s not difficult for you to marry a suitable man.”
“As for Mo Jingshen...” His voice grew colder. “Now my sister no longer insists on coming to him, but I can see that he really hurt her heart. Since you hadn’t seen CEO Mo for years, I don’t think you two love each other very much. Why don’t you just let bygones be bygones? As long as you give up on Mo Jingshen, the Rong family can help MN Group...”
Before Rong Cheng finished his words, a person suddenly walked down from the revolving staircase of the restaurant not far away. “CEO Rong, are you threatening this lady? That’s not what the heir to the Rong family should do.”
Hearing this voice, Ji Nuan was speechless...
When did Xiao Luye come to Beijing? He was upstairs just now? So was he among the ‘friends upstairs’ Rong Cheng just mentioned?
1That was not strange. The Mo family in Hai City, the Xiao family, and the Rong family in Beijing were the most powerful families in China. It was natural that the heirs of these families knew each other.
But she didn’t know what their relationship was like.
Rong Cheng looked at that man, so did Ji Nuan. Xiao Luye walked downstairs and came over with a cold smile.
He was about 1.85 meters tall and, though dressed in a formal suit, he looked casual and uninhibited. He put his hand in his trouser pocket and glanced carelessly at Rong Cheng.
