Chapter 488: That is Mo Jingshen's Place
Ji Nuan had considered moving before. When she first returned to the country, she had planned on it but was subsequently too busy to do it.
Tonight's incident was a reminder to be alert.
Firstly, this place was too far from her company. Secondly, the property itself and the security offered were poor. Anyone could easily make their way in. The drunk man had created such a big commotion, yet it took the security so long to come.
When she recalled the previous power shortage, she felt that this truly wasn't a good place.
"I will consider moving. There are a lot of places close to my workplace available. I'll make time to look through them. You should keep your condos for yourself."
"What's the point of keeping them? They'll only be left aside. You should just pick one to stay in."
How could Ji Nuan possibly not understand? The so-called condo was simply Mr. Vinse's bait. He has been waiting for her to bite the whole time. If she really moved into his condo for convenience's sake, he would have all the more reason to visit her.
A man like him was far too scheming. For example, he clearly could have chosen a better way to avoid the knife earlier, yet he chose to receive the blow.
When a man truly desired a woman, his thoughts were even more profound than the women featured in the palaces of soap operas.
"We'll talk about this in the future. Mr. Vinse, you should take your leave now," Ji Nuan tactfully reminded him that he had outstayed his welcome once more.
Mr. Vinse raised his brows. "All of a sudden, I really regret having that meal downstairs earlier. Otherwise, I could use my hunger as an excuse to stay longer."
Ji Nuan smiled and opened the door. She turned back to look at him. "For the sake of my reputation, and for Mr. Vinse's gentlemanly manners, let's not make things difficult for each other. I won't send you off."
Mr. Vinse was a tactful person. Earlier, he had already stood up. When he saw that Ji Nuan was clearly impatient to send him off, he approached the door. He turned back to look at her. "You previously promised to invite me over for a meal. Don't forget about it."
Ji Nuan nodded. "Okay."
Mr. Vinse finally then stepped out. As he waved to Ji Nuan, he took a glance at the corridor lights and the staircase by the side. He reminded her, "Take note of your safety. Move out as soon as possible."
Ji Nuan made an 'okay' gesture with her hand. When he finally entered the elevator, she waved at him and shut the door.

As he watched Mr. Vinse step out of Ji Nuan's condo and leave the residential area to drive away in his car, the bodyguard brought out his phone once more.
"Mr. Vinse left Miss Ji's home at 8:50 p.m. Miss Ji did not show up. It is likely that she did not send him off. Mr. Vinse has already driven off in his car."
Mo Jingshen's expression was concealed by the deep, dark evening. So that man had sat upstairs for a whole twenty minutes?
He glanced at the curtain of rain coming down the night sky, before turning toward the direction of Ji Nuan's condo. His gaze was mild and cold as he said heavily, "Get her to move out of that condo within a week."
The bodyguard was startled but did not dare to ask more questions. "All right, this condo is rather old and unsafe. But where should I send Miss Ji?"
Mo Jingshen's tone was calm. "Yuehu Bay."
The bodyguard's heart was flustered. Yuehu Bay was the only luxury residential area in the western city district. Although it wasn't built by the Shine Group, when it was initially being constructed, the company in charge had specially gifted the condo with the best position to Mo Jingshen. It had up to several hundred square meters of space. They had also gifted him several other small condos in the same building. Yuehu Bay had the best feng shui, the best view of the horizon, and the best scenery. Almost all of the condos on the upper floors were under Mo Jingshen's name. They were also luxuriously decorated. It could be seen that the other party had a lot of sincerity.
However, even after receiving the gift, Mo Jingshen never once stayed there.
Everyone knew that that was the best place in the western city district. It was close to all of the business buildings and skyscrapers. It was also a short distance away from the shopping district. Hai City's famous Lake Yue was also located right in the middle. The environment was good, and it was a quiet retreat amidst the bustling metropolis.
But how could he make Miss Ji move there smoothly?
...
The next day, Ji Nuan headed to the office. In her spare time, she casually looked up the available apartments nearby.
No matter if it were condos or common apartments, there were only two to three suitable residential areas and a short distance away from her office.
But strangely, she was barely satisfied with any.
Her first choice was Yuehu Bay. However, it was said that not only were Yuehu Bay's condos expensive, but most of the best condos were also already sold. The spectacular view of the Lake Yue was almost fully obscured in the remaining ones.
Her second choice was two other residences close to Yuehu Bay Mian Mei International and Ka Li Residence. The other better options were the European style villa nearby.
A villa was too extravagant for her alone, but there weren't many spectacular views in the western city district. The only one was the most renowned and the most expensive Yuehu Bay.
However, she was unable to find an available condo she liked. She wondered how the condos worth seventy to eighty million yuan were all sold out. Although Hai City people were wealthy, they weren't all gathered in a lousy place like the west city district. There were clearly more wealthy people in the south, north, and east.
Xiao Ba saw that she was checking out apartments and leaned close to ask, "Boss, are you moving?"
"En."
"Aiya, is this Yuehu Bay?"
"En..."
Xiao Ba abruptly pointed down. "Earlier, I saw a property agent from Yuehu Bay carrying out some promotional activities downstairs. Apparently, the owner of the best condo is selling it as he has been abroad for a long period. Do you want to go take a look?"
"Which is the best one?" Ji Nuan opened Yuehu Bay's residential map and scanned through it before settling on A1, A2, and A3. "If it's one of these three, I'll go take a look. Otherwise, there's no need."
"I think it really began with an A. Anyway, there's nothing important happening right now. It won't hurt you to go take a look."
It was really time to settle the issue of moving. Ji Nuan approached the windows to look out, and Xiao Ba leaned close to point not far away. There were really Yuehu Bay's people carrying out an activity.
She went downstairs and picked up the leaflets the property agents were handing out. She then approached in suspicion to ask, "All of the top five floors in Yuehu Bay are on sale?"
"That's right. The owner has been abroad for a long time, and these apartments have been left unused. He requested us to sell them for him."
This building coincidentally had the central view of Ji Nuan's favorite Lake Yue. She liked to be by the water, no matter if it was the ocean or a lake. The scenery and air were good, and it was also close to her office. She heard that these property agents were also good, and it was safe to purchase through them.
However, the highest floor had up to 400 square meters of space. Although it had the best position, four hundred square meters was too much for her who lived alone.
