The moment he saw the great Boss's reaction, Shen Mu immediately lost all courage to speak . He hesitated for a moment before, asking, “This… should I leave it here, or return the package to its sender?”
Mo Jingshen looked at the two copies of the agreement in his hands and tossed the pen onto the table . “Put it down . Go out first . ”
Shen Mu could only approach the table to leave the papers behind . Afterward, he did not dare to check on CEO Mo's expression and quickly stepped out .
The office was empty, spacious, and quiet .
Mo Jingshen picked up the divorce agreement . Although it wasn't super neat, Ji Nuan's words were beautifully written . The way each word was slightly connected revealed her indifference . It could be seen that she did not hesitate for even a moment when she signed her name . Every word was distinct and coherent .
When Mo Jingshen received the divorce contract, Ji Nuan was already discharged .
That night, Mo Jingshen returned to the Yu Garden villa .
All of the helpers were around . Auntie Chen was also there . The only missing figure was Ji Nuan's .
From 7:30 p . m . to 12:00 a . m . , Ji Nuan did not return .
Although she had already agreed to the divorce, the contract clauses had been made by the company's legal department last minute . Now that she had abruptly returned the sum of money Mo Corporation had previously invested in her studio, several clauses needed to be altered . Aside from that investment, the two billion USD he had previously initially invested in her studio was also meant to be hers . Furthermore, following his succession of Shine, several property companies under Hai City, Mo Corporation's hold were supposed to be transferred to her name . It was likely that Ji Nuan had signed the contract without even looking at its contents .
Even though he was the one who had facilitated their divorce, he had to make sure she wouldn't suffer any discomfort following their separation .
Auntie Chen urged him several times to return to his room to rest .
“Mr . Mo, when I accompanied Madam out of the hospital, she left us with instructions to pack her clothes into a suitcase . She said that she would send someone over in a few days to retrieve it . ” Auntie Chen said with a sigh, “Madam also said that she likely won't return to the Yu Garden again…”
Mo Jingshen appeared not to have heard anything . He sat in the living room on the first floor of the Yu Garden .
At midnight, at 1:00 a . m . , his phone suddenly vibrated . It was a call from Ji Nuan .
Mo Jingshen had yet to sleep and was leaning against the sofa . He picked up his phone and answered .
Ji Nuan was most likely outdoors . At night, the wind in Hai City was strong . The sound of the wind could be heard through the phone, causing the cold to seep into one's heart .
The night was chilly, and her voice was similarly lacking in warmth . She coldly and indifferently said, “Mo Jingshen, I won't be returning to the Yu Garden anymore . There's no need to wait up for me . Rest early . ”
Mo Jingshen subconsciously sat up on the sofa, asking with a heavy voice, “Are you not returning tonight, or will you not be returning ever again?”
Ji Nuan chuckled . Her voice was soft and light . “I've even asked Auntie Chen to pack up my clothes . Isn't the answer obvious? You know me very well . I don't let go easily, but once I do, I won't look back . ”
Mo Jingshen was quiet for a moment .
He was unable to ask about her plans following the divorce . Before he could even unsheathe the heartless daggers or doting questions, she had already blocked his words with her clear, elaborate explanation .
Ji Nuan was indeed someone like this . When she held onto her dedication and determination, she had the courage to see a battle to its end regardless of the consequences .
But when she completely gave up, she had also learned the decisiveness he once had . She knew to strike first and leave in advance .
This was also good .
At the very least, he had managed to teach her some things .
Mo Jingshen was silent for a long moment . In the end, he only said, “That's good . ”
“I still have things to settle here . I won't chat further with you . Mo Jingshen, let's go our separate ways now . ” As she spoke, Ji Nuan prepared to hang up the call .
Right before she hung up, Mo Jingshen abruptly said, “A portion of the divorce agreement needs to be amended . When you're free, come by and sign a new copy before you talk about going on our separate ways . ”
The woman's voice on the other side of the call was as mild as ever: “I don't need anything . I created so much trouble for you previously, now that it's time for a farewell, I should return all of the things I owe you . I've already returned all of your investments . As for the rest, thank you for once protecting me from any possible repercussions in my work . In the future, I'll be working hard on my own . Right now, time is as precious as money . If there's nothing else, I'll go and busy myself now . ”
Mo Jingshen: “Your studio is already doing very well . There's no need to work too hard . ”
Ji Nuan did not speak . She was quiet for a moment .
He could hear her breathing, accompanied by the chilly wind . It was light and soft .
“Mo Jingshen, I know that you're still you . You've always been you . ”
From the start, she clearly understood that he had never changed . Even when he came to know of those difficult ten years for her, he never once left, nor did he die .
Mo Jingshen was silent for a moment before he lightly spoke the three words: “Is that so . ”
Ji Nuan spoke in the soft tone she always used when she was by his side, “It's late, I won't disturb you any further . Goodbye . ”
Mo Jingshen: “All right . ”
The call was instantly hung up .
Everything returned to its silence .
The day after Ji Nuan had sent the divorce letter to Mo Jingshen, the Yu Garden was sealed . No one could enter, and all of the helpers were dismissed overnight .
Auntie Chen received a large sum of money . As an old helper from the Mo family, she was supposed to return directly to the Mo home . However, she felt too ashamed to meet Elder Mo and was fearful that he wouldn't take the news of their divorce well . She truly did not dare to face him, and because Mr . Mo did not plan to let her go back to the Mo home, she decided to return to her hometown .
Right before leaving, Auntie Chen visited Mo Nuan Studio . At the time, Ji Nuan was having a meeting with the people on England's side . After the meeting ended, she stepped out to see that Auntie Chen was waiting outside .
Ji Nuan personally received her, but Auntie Chen did not even sit down, nor did she drink the tea . She watched Ji Nuan, who was dressed in her professional workwear and had a rosy complexion; it appeared as though she was emotionally well . Auntie Chen watched her for a long moment before saying, “Mr . Mo has sealed the Yu Garden . No one is allowed to enter now . ”
“I know, I heard . ”
Auntie Chen originally thought she had only come to look at Ji Nuan . After all, once she returned to her hometown, there was a chance she would ever meet her again . However, upon seeing Ji Nuan's composed expression, Auntie Chen's eyes immediately turned red . “That night, after you called, Mr . Mo smashed his phone . ”
Ji Nuan did not reply .
“None of us dared to leave our rooms, but none of us were able to sleep either . Mr . Mo smashed every visible item in the Yu Garden . The next day, he ordered us to clean up the mess on the floor . The entire Yu Garden has been emptied . There's nothing left . ”
Ji Nuan was expressionless . She softly blew at the tea in her cup and did not reply .
“Mrs . Mo…”
“Auntie Chen, in the future, there won't be any more Mrs . Mo . You should call me Miss Ji . ”
