Ji Nuan bought a condo around 200 square meters big near her other condo and shifted all of their things there. After all, she had too many clothes and other items, and she couldn’t bring them all.
Late at night, after Ji Nuan had packed her things into, she sat down on the carpet and considered the blue diamond in her palm.
Even now, she could recall the way Mo Jingshen used to hold her hand; whenever his long fingers brushed past her ring finger, he would occasionally pause there.
He never tried to bind her with anything, nor did he insist for her to put on a wedding ring. Instead, he would always search for the most beautiful sights in the world for her.
This blue diamond was the same; no matter if it were crafted to sit on a beautiful necklace, or embedded onto a ring, it would become a piece of rare, precious jewelry.


He chose a blue diamond for her and allowed her to decide what she would do with it.
Just like now, they had both let go of each other. He gave her freedom and allowed her to craft her future as she pleased. He would never participate in her life again.
Ji Nuan returned the blue diamond to the velvet ring box and left it in the condo. She did not bring it with her.
…
Two weeks after Ji Nuan moved to England, she heard that Mo Jingshen had also left Hai City to head to Los Angeles.
Ji Nuan never saw him again, nor did she contact him.
In fact, for an extended time, because the people around her had little contact with America and Hai City, she did not catch wind of any news about Mo Jingshen. She also did not take any initiative to find out about him.
Afterward, all she heard was that Mo Shaoze had been pushed down by the pressures from various Chinese corporations. Shine Group’s stock market nearly collapsed.
A few months later, America’s Shine Group had a new CEO.
At the time, Ji Nuan was busy with London’s partnership. Every day, she was tortured by Mr. Zand’s business ways and was forced into pulling multiple all-nighters. She barely had the time to rest, much less consider other matters.


As for Hai City’s Mo Nuan Studio, as they had forged a path for it based on their good understanding of the local businesses, it was able to continue on its development smoothly. The various profits made there were used to support Ji Nuan’s partnership in London. Mr. Zand was a shrewd banker and businessman, and he taught Ji Nuan to use her funds efficiently to craft the path she needed to take.
A year after Ji Nuan arrived in England, everything came together abruptly, and her company was successfully set up. Mr. Zand felt that Mo Nuan Studio could become their main focus and that there was no need to change the company name. However, Ji Nuan still removed the two words, ‘Mo Nuan.’ Eventually, the entire company’s name was officially changed to MN.
Afterward, as the company began to take on various powerful and flourishing industries, including the internet industry, the property business, the technology industry, and mobile development business, they gained more and more subsidiary companies, and eventually grew to become an irresistible force. It was established as the MN Group.
Under his name, Mr. Zand had many companies he had single-handedly lifted up. As they had initially agreed on the contract, on the day the company was established, forty-nine percent of the shares were given to him. A man like him who only relied on his brains to live owned the shares of many large companies and was a shareholder in too many companies. Ji Nuan truly admired someone like him.
Mr. Zand was already past forty-years-old. From the beginning, she considered him as her mentor and had discussed giving him fifty-one percent of the shares. However, in the end, Mr. Zand decided to give up two percent to Ji Nuan and returned her the position of the largest shareholder. He carried the remaining forty-nine percent to be an idle, free, and unfettered immortal waiting to earn his profits.
As the largest shareholder, Ji Nuan smoothly remained in power within the MN Group. All of the pressure was on her shoulders. The larger her responsibility came to be, the greater the pressure and the greater her motivation.
Ji Nuan grew even more swamped with work, to the point where she barely had time to take herself into consideration. Her company was no longer developing as smoothly as when it first started.
In recent years, the momentum of the local property industry and mobile development industry was too great. The entire industry was flooded with many common ideas. Countless people were charging after the trendiest initiatives, and everyone grew to become similar. No matter how capable Ji Nuan was, there would always be incidents when someone was faster than her. For example, right after the company invested several billion into developing software, imitations of their products quickly began to show up. Currently, there were no laws within the country that could deal with this, and there was no legal action they could take. Furthermore, ‘the most elegant wood would always be destroyed by the forest storm first.’ There would always be many parties attempting to trip MN Group’s progress. Even though they were products that were listed on the market at the same time, MN Group’s products would always require a longer time to be approved, causing a lot of their invested money to be lost.
London was an extremely humid country all-year-round. When Ji Nuan first came, she began to develop rashes all over. With a body that was weak against cold, she suffered quite a lot during her first six months here.
It wasn’t clear if the rashes had developed because she wasn’t adjusting well to the new environment, or because her body was too fragile. Either way, she began to give up on short-sleeved clothes. Every day, she would either wear long-sleeves or long skirts. She also refrained from going outdoor as much. Gradually, the rashes on her face and body faded, and because she dressed that way every day, her originally white skin grew to become even more white and tender. In the eyes of many large and tall English people, she was beyond attractive.


Ji Nuan had many suitors. Xiao Ba, who was always by Ji Nuan’s side, understood her temper well and had helped to drive away many of her suitors. Occasionally, when they met with troublesome suitors that were difficult to deal with, Ji Nuan would personally handle them. She would often brandish her true character, angering the other party into becoming speechless.
At the beginning of her second year in London, the originally prosperous MN Group fell into an unprecedented financial deadlock. Mr. Zand had accompanied her to forge the initial path and was currently busy with other companies. He could not carve out any effort to help her. Furthermore, he also believed that Ji Nuan could work through the hardships and felt that she did not have to rely on someone else’s support.
Afterward, MN Group shakily endured through a year of financial crisis. As many companies had seen their crisis as an opportunity and copied their business model, her company lost a lot of its former glory.
A lot of the money they had earned in the first year was lost in the second. By the end of the second year, most of their funds were dried up.
In the two years after her divorce with Mo Jingshen, Ji Nuan experienced the taste of success and also suffered the taste of utter defeat.
Since then, she grew to understand that having the ability to predict alone was not sufficient to stand firm in the business world. The business world was a place where people were killed without leaving blood behind, and everyone fed on each other’s death. There was no way out of it. If she wished to stand firm in the business world, not only did she require a perfect mastery of her skills, she also needed to endure many difficult blows.
