Chapter 490: Who on Earth Owns the Top Five Floors?

The A1 building has sixteen floors, and the highest five floors all belonged to the mystery seller.

After she moved in, because this place was closer to her company, Ji Nuan did not have to leave early every day to avoid traffic. She had forty-five minutes every day for her morning run and exercise. On the first day, she met a neighbor during her run. After a brief chat, her neighbor found out she had moved to the top floor and immediately gave her a warm greeting. She also fired various questions at Ji Nuan.

"Then, do you know who on earth owns the top five floors? I don't think I've ever met him. He sure is mysterious. The price of those floors isn't cheap at all. If we add them up, they should be worth several hundred million. Who knows what sort of boss he is to be able to purchase all of the best condos in Yuehu Bay. Anyone of those condos is two to three times more expensive than the ones on the lower floors. He actually owns five whole floors, yet he has never come to stay. Previously, when we asked around, all we found out was that the condos are owned by a private businessman and not a property company. It really makes one curious."

Ji Nuan answered, "I'm not sure. It was sold by a property agent. Anyway, since the other party handled the process well and the space was new and close to my workplace, I readily made the purchase."

"Aiyo, I thought you would know. I thought you came into contact with him when you made the purchase. But you've never even seen him before?"

Ji Nuan lifted one corner of her lip. "I've never met him. Didn't they say that he has already left the country? It's unlikely that he will return soon."

"Then your apartment shouldn't be cheap, right? I saw that you bought the condo with the best view on the fifteenth floor. Your balcony faces Lake Yue. Ai, by the way, I heard that the highest floor has up to four hundred square meters and even has balconies on all four sides. That one condo alone offers a perfect three-hundred-and-sixty-degree view. Since the other party was actually willing to put it on offer, why didn't you buy that one?"

Although her neighbor was warm, she was far too warm. Ji Nuan barely answered her flood of questions. She only smiled. "The apartment was too big and too empty for me." After speaking, she brought her towel down from her neck and wiped the thin layer of sweat on her. With a polite smile, she ran further ahead and did not continue the leisure chat.

After her run, she went upstairs to shower and prepare for her work. As she waited for the elevator to move, she watched the numbers for the highest five floors. She recalled that her rash purchase for this apartment had truly been extraordinarily smooth.

She was merely in a rush and was impatient to obtain a suitable apartment. She did not have the time to nitpick at apartments. Besides, the owner would be away for an extended period. This apartment was also satisfactory in many ways. Thus, she had bought it quickly. However, she did not expect the owner to be so mysterious. Even the neighbors who had lived there for more than two years did not know of his identity.

Speaking of which, those condos were truly not cheap, yet he had left those apartments worth several hundred million untouched. This meant that these apartments had been either used to repay debts or gifted away as presents. Otherwise, it had to be owned by an especially rich old CEO who wasn't in a rush to live in it. She had considered the matter and felt that someone so generous wouldn't have such deliberate schemes. Besides, the property agent had also mentioned that the owner had never lived in the place. Thus, Ji Nuan had set her heart at ease and purchased it.

After showering, she headed to work. Just like that, two peaceful days passed by. Abruptly, in the evening at 11:00 p.m., she received Xia Tian's call saying that she was about to give birth and was already entering the delivery room.

Ji Nuan was startled into jumping out of her bed.

It took her twenty minutes to rushed to the hospital in the city center.

By now, Xia Tian had already entered the delivery room. A large crowd had already formed outside. Abruptly, a man dressed in a black SWAT police uniform pushed through the crowd to charge in. He immediately grabbed a doctor and asked about Xia Tian with a stern expression that could not conceal his concern. Ji Nuan stood by the side and lifted her brows.

It seemed like this was the little SWAT police officer Xia Tian had previously mentioned. Ji Nuan noticed the flags and stars on his shoulders. From the look of it, he must have made multiple successes in his undercover drug trafficking missions. He was actually an officer with a high rank. Previously, when they met at the local police station, he had been far more low-key.

In Xia Tian's call, she had complained with grief that she didn't know when her man would be able to come. Who would have thought that he had already rushed here.

Not bad, he was on time. At the very least, he wouldn't miss the moment of birth.

Xia Tian was typically a generous and frank person. Although Ji Nuan was her only best friend, she had quite some close friends. She also had good relations with MN Group's colleagues. By now, most of them had rushed over. They had all thought her man wouldn't be able to accompany her and were worried that she would be in the hospital alone. So many of them had come, and, by now, the waiting area was stuffed full.

Ji Nuan decided to back away and wait for the child to be birthed.

This hospital was where Qin Siting was located. When he heard the news, he came by the delivery area to take a look.

Ji Nuan had just backed away from the middle of the hallway. Coincidentally, Qin Siting approached. The air-conditioning in the hallway was strong. His thin, white robe floated behind him. He had just exited a surgery room to rush over.

"Ji Nuan?" With one look, Qin Siting noticed Ji Nuan, who stood outside the crowd.

"Doctor Qin." Seeing Qin Siting, whom she hadn't met in years, Ji Nuan smiled. "This is the delivery area. Why are you here?"

"Miss Xia is your friend. For the past few years, she has been visiting this hospital frequently. She's considered a familiar friend of mine by now. I heard that she's giving birth and came down for a look." Qin Siting placed one hand in his robe pocket and noticed the people outside the delivery room. He decided not to approach and watched Ji Nuan. "It's been three years. You look like you're doing well."

Ji Nuan: "I'm all right. A person can always live happily alone outside. Although you get tired from the hard work, your effort always pays off."

Qin Siting lifted one corner of his lips mildly. "That's good."

Men would never bring up feelings to women, nor would they gossip too much about others. When he saw that Ji Nuan appeared to be living happily alone, he considered and decided not to bring up Mo Jingshen's starkly different status in the past few years.

After all, in these three years, Mo Jingshen's cold and quiet demeanor made it difficult for anyone to approach. Even when they went out to drink, Mo Jingshen was mostly silent. He barely wasted any breath, nor did he offer any explanations for his divorce. Although he appeared as per normal, with Qin Siting's understanding of Mo Jingshen, he could sense that whenever others would bring Ji Nuan, his unperturbed gaze would hide an abnormal amount of resistance and tolerance.
