Ji Nanshu smiled and said, " Miss Chen, did your elder brother Chen Anbang forget to tell you that I am a Daoist priest?"
All the onlookers saw Ji Nanshu's fingertips twitch slightly, as if he were making a few gestures in the air, making a pushing motion, and then lowering his hand.
The onlookers were all ordinary people. Although they knew about Daoist masters, their knowledge was limited to the use of talismans to subdue enemies, as depicted in movies.
They had no idea what a higher-level Celestial Master was like, nor could they see the golden light flowing from Ji Nanshu's fingertips, making Ji Nanshu's current actions seem particularly ridiculous.
What are you doing?
"He doesn't actually think that's how Daoist priests perform rituals, does he?"
"Hilarious! They did something wrong but are too ashamed to admit it and are just playing tricks here..."
"This is hilarious... How could Film Emperor Chu fall for someone like this?"
"Being pretty might be an advantage!"
Some onlookers whispered and mocked. Others, Director Bu's trusted assistants, watched the show quietly, adhering to the principle of curiosity but not speaking much.
Bu Hanfei nudged Chu Mo: " Xiao Mo, what... what is your wife doing?"
Chu Mo: "Just you wait and see the show."
As expected, no sooner had Chu Mo finished speaking than Chen Rui's face twisted into a ferocious grin, her eyes filled with malice, and she declared, " Ji Nanshu, let me tell you! Brother Chu Mo Brother Chu Mo at all!!"
"So what if I wronged you? I'm the eldest daughter of the Chen Family! I said you did it, so you did it! You'd better know what's good for you, or I'll definitely kill you!"
"Hahahaha, do you know why no one has ever dared to confess to Brother Chu Mo since he was a child? It's because of me! If I can't have him, why should anyone else?!"
" Brother Chu Mo can only be with me!!"
After saying that, Chen Rui suddenly covered her mouth, truly terrified. She looked at Ji Nanshu in horror. "What did you do to me?! How could I...?"
Ji Nanshu chimed in, "How could you have blurted out what was on your mind?"
Chen Rui, true to Chen Rui, reacted incredibly quickly. "Why are you controlling me to say these terrible things... You can't do this to me... I didn't do any of these things..."
Ji Nanshu chuckled and turned to look at Chu Mo and Director Bu: " A-Mo, Director Bu, look at Miss Chen's acting skills! She's improved a lot since this morning!"
Chu Mo: "It's improved a lot."
Director Bu: "..." Is this a place where he can speak? He admits he's old, but that doesn't mean he can stand up to the Chen Family!
Chen Rui's face flushed red, both angry and ashamed.
What angered them was Ji Nanshu's difficulty in dealing with him and Chu Mo's lack of respect.
What's truly shameful is that she, the eldest daughter of the Chen Family, was ridiculed by a group of lowly commoners!
"Let's disperse." After Chu Mo spoke, the crowd scattered, including Director Bu.
Only Ji Nanshu, Chu Mo, and Chen Rui remained.
Seeing the jealous look in Chen Rui's eyes, Chu Mo stepped forward and shielded Ji Nanshu behind him, saying, "Your older brother will pick you up tonight."
Chen Anbang arrived quickly, and with his bodyguards, immediately put Chen Rui into the Chen Family's car.
Before leaving, Chen Anbang specifically sought out Ji Nanshu: " Mr. Ji, I've come to apologize on behalf of my sister. She's liked Brother Chu since she was little, and my mother has always told her that she'll marry Brother Chu, so..."
Ji Nanshu took a sip of his milk tea and said, "I can't control who she likes, but if she tries to get her hands on me... I don't know if your Chen Family can handle it."
"Three chances. If she tries again after using them all, then your Chen Family will have to bear the consequences. Think twice."
After saying that, Ji Nanshu went back to his room.
Chen Anbang didn't know what to say, so after standing there for a while, he got into the car.
Chen Rui was furious. "Big brother! I'm not leaving! Who does Ji Nanshu think he is?! Why should I avoid him? You're my big brother, and you're helping an outsider instead of me?!"
Chen Anbang frowned. " Xiao Rui, it's precisely because I'm your brother that I brought you back! Do you know that Ji Nanshu is a Celestial Master at the Innate Realm?! If he wanted to take your life without anyone noticing, who do you think could save you?!"
"So what if he's at the Innate Realm?! Is he the only one in such a vast Hua Country?!"
Chen Anbang sneered, "There is indeed more than one, but he is the only one who can draw talismans with Spiritual Power! I don't care how much you like Chu Mo, from now on you are not allowed to provoke Ji Nanshu!"
"If you can win Chu Mo's heart through your own abilities, that's your skill, and I can't interfere. But if you use the Chen Family's power to do anything to Ji Nanshu and Chu Mo, and implicate the Chen Family, don't blame me for turning against you and expelling you from the Chen Family!"
Chen Rui was still unconvinced, but seeing her older brother's expression, she didn't dare to talk back anymore. Her parents and grandfather doted on her, but her older brother was a man of his word. If she really caused trouble for the Chen Family, her older brother would definitely expel her from the Chen Family.
But as long as we don't get caught, isn't that enough?
Seeing that his younger sister had calmed down, Chen Anbang began to patiently persuade her again, " Xiao Rui, Chu Mo doesn't like you. He's blind. You're the eldest daughter of the Chen Family, who wouldn't you want? You can just beckon him."
Chen Rui pouted, looking aggrieved. "Big brother... but I really like Brother Chu Mo. You know I've wanted to marry him since I was little, I'm not reconciled!"
" Chu Mo has always been cold-hearted and heartless. What good would marrying him do? Could you win his heart? In the end, you'd be the only one who suffers!"
Chen Rui understood these principles perfectly well, but she was unwilling to accept it. She felt that she was beautiful, had a good personality, and came from a family of similar social standing, so why didn't Chu Mo like her?
Did the matriarch of the Chu Family have a better choice than her?
Until Ji Nanshu appeared, she initially thought Brother Chu Mo was just playing around, but she never expected that he actually liked her!
How dare Ji Nanshu, a man, a lowly person, win Brother Chu Mo's favor?! She would never allow such a lowly person as Ji Nanshu to lay a finger on her Brother Chu Mo!
Seeing that Chen Rui didn't speak, Chen Anbang assumed that she had listened to his advice, so he didn't say anything more and just took her back to the Imperial Capital.
bite--
Chen Rui received a text message on her phone.
Chen Anbang: " Xiao Rui, your phone is ringing."
Chen Rui looked out the window, absentmindedly saying, "Oh... it's probably spam."
Chen Anbang didn't think much of it, and a few hours later, the two returned to the Imperial Capital.
Chen Rui slumped onto the bed, feeling utterly dejected. She was definitely not going to let Ji Nanshu, but she couldn't let her older brother and the others find out... Who should she turn to?
Chen Rui opened her phone, just as she was about to see who she should contact, when she suddenly noticed a text message from a stranger.
Do you want Chu Mo? I can help you. If you're willing, come to this address tomorrow: Room 1201 Floating City Residential Complex.
Huh, who is this?
