Because she had read the novel and knew the plot!
Could she say that though?
Mo Shu gave her a look that was both smiling and not, "What do you think?"
Ji Nan bowed her head and kept silent.
Mo Shu flipped through the invitation and suddenly said, "By the way, Gu Wenjuan seems to get seasick. Have Ji Ren take Grandpa Wu to treat her."
Ji Nan pursed her lips even tighter and finally spoke up, "Princess, I don’t understand why you always treat Miss Gu so well when Young Master Yu can’t see, yet deliberately act against her in front of him. Why do you do this?"
Mo Shu lifted her gaze and glared at her.
Ji Nan stiffened her posture and said, "You know well that Young Master Yu feels differently about Miss Gu. Provoking Young Master Yu does no good for you no matter how much kindness you show Miss Gu afterward. Why do you act this way?"
Mo Shu raised an eyebrow, "Then what do you suggest we do?"
"Gu Wenjuan may appear kind, but no woman would refuse a man like Young Master Yu. Even if she hasn’t done anything with Young Master Yu now, leaving such a ticking time bomb by his side, even if he doesn’t set it off, she herself will explode. It’s better to remove her earlier, to keep her away from Young Master Yu," Ji Nan said firmly as she looked at Mo Shu, "Young Master Yu is a man, and the men of this world are all promiscuous. If we let him be... To speak disrespectfully, perhaps, he will become the next President Mo."
Mo Shu looked at her serious expression and suddenly laughed.
Ji Nan’s heartbeat quickened, and she instinctively took a step back, lowering her head.
"Ji Nan," Mo Shu put the invitation into her hand, "Do you know why Uncle Dong left?"
Ji Nan was startled, but replied honestly, "Because he was caught embezzling and even colluded with President Mo to betray you."
"It’s just an excuse," Mo Shu laughed softly, sitting sideways on the bed, "The reason Uncle Dong left was that he knew me too well, presumptuously treated me as a puppet, meddling in my decisions while also coddling me as if I were an idiot. The root of everything was because he acted as if he knew me inside out."
Ji Nan’s complexion turned pale, and she immediately knelt down, "Princess, I absolutely don’t harbor such thoughts, I just feel it’s not worth it for you..."
"I know you’re all doing this for my own good," Mo Shu leaned down and helped her up, "I have never doubted you, but I have my reasons for doing this. I don’t want you to become the next Uncle Dong."
Ji Nan’s face grew even paler, and she immediately prostrated herself, fervently declaring, "Ji Nan acknowledges her fault. Please punish me, Princess."
"Get up," Mo Shu stood up, "The ship has already set sail." ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel·fire.net
But Ji Nan did not rise, she pleaded once more, "Please give me another chance, Princess. I overstepped my bounds. I swear, there won’t be a next time!"
Mo Shu felt somewhat reluctant to see Ji Nan , but her expression remained stonily indifferent, "Remember your words today. If there is a next time, I won’t be able to keep you here either."
Ji Nan’s voice choked up as she loudly affirmed, "Yes!"
Ji Nan immediately got up, wiped her tears, and turned to go downstairs.
Mo Shu felt a tinge of guilt in her heart.
Ji Nan’s intentions were all for her own good, but to keep the main mission from being disrupted, she had to be a little harsher with her.
Suddenly, the door downstairs was opened, and Ji Yun, who was on guard at the entrance, came in and said, "Princess, Mr. Cheng Du would like to invite you to meet him on the deck."
Mo Shu raised an eyebrow.
The soon-to-be new president, Cheng Du?
