Yancheng.
In the dead of night, the villa named Shuyuan was echoing with ambiguous sounds that made one blush.
A gentle breeze blew, lifting half of the curtain, and the moonlight outside the window shone into the room.
On a chair in the room, a beautiful woman in a white shirt was sitting on a man. Her long legs were bare, and her delicate skin was exposed to the air.
However, the man didn't seem interested. His hand only rubbed her waist all the time, smiling softly, "So impatient?"
Hearing this, the woman looked a bit aggrieved. Her fingers wandered along his chest and were intercepted by the man's hand when they reached his lower abdomen.
Where the woman couldn't see, a flash of disgust crossed the man's eyes.
"The old man is coming back. Have you done everything I told you to do?"
"Don't worry. I've done everything according to your instructions." The woman lay on his shoulder, her warm breath puffing on the man's earlobe. "I'm going to marry Bo Jingyu in two days. Will you miss me?"
The man slightly curled his lips. "Isn't it what you want to marry into the Bo family?"
"You're so annoying!" The woman playfully punched his chest. "What I want is to marry you, Bo Siming, not your younger brother. Don't you know why I'm with him?"
"Besides, how can Bo Jingyu compare with you? The Bo family will belong to you in the future, won't it?"
A meaningful look flashed across the man's eyes. He pursed his lips slightly. "You're right."
Suddenly, there was a sound outside the room.
Bo Siming's eyes turned colder. He got up, picked up his coat, and said, "The next few days are the most crucial. I hope you won't make any mistakes, and don't let Bo Jingyu get suspicious."
The woman wanted to chase after him, but the man had already walked out of the room quickly. When he went out, a thin woman in a white dress with her head down was standing at the door.
Such an unremarkable woman would never catch his attention, so Bo Siming didn't even look at her and just went downstairs on his own.
Shen Shiyu watched the man leave and then saw Shen Ximan standing there. Her heart skipped a beat. How long had she been standing here?
Had Shen Ximan heard her conversation with Bo Siming just now?
The more Shen Shiyu thought about it, the angrier she got. She raised her hand and slapped Shen Ximan.
"Are you crazy! What are you doing outside my room in the middle of the night!"
The crystal - studded fingernails scratched across her right cheek, and a clear bloodstain appeared.
Under the light, the scar on her face was even more conspicuous and extremely terrifying.
Shen Ximan didn't have any extra reaction, as if she was used to it.
Her eyes looking at Shen Shiyu became even calmer.
She took a step back and said, "I'm going to deliver food to An Ruo tomorrow. Aunt Liang told me to let you know."
Shen Shiyu folded her arms and stared at her viciously. "Without my permission, you're not allowed to come upstairs in the future! If there's a next time, you'll never see An Ruo again!"
After saying that, she still felt angry. She continued, "Kneel in the living room and reflect tonight until 8 o'clock tomorrow morning!"
According to her order, Shen Ximan obediently knelt in the living room. She didn't even care about the wound on her face.
However, her originally dull eyes suddenly became a bit more lively and lost the previous dullness.
At this time, Shen Shiyu standing on the stairs stared at her intently, thinking to herself. Since she had caught her relationship with Bo Siming, she had to find a way to get rid of her.
Back in the room, Shen Shiyu put her feet on the stool, and a maid was kneeling on the ground trimming her nails.
After a while, a woman in a gray tight - fitting dress and an exaggerated hat pushed open the door.
"Aunt Liang said you agreed to let that ugly girl go and see her sister?"
She was Shen Ximan's stepmother, Yang Wan.
As she said, she sat down beside Shen Shiyu. She had been playing cards all day and looked a bit tired. She closed her eyes and rubbed her temples.
Shen Shiyu smiled proudly. "So what if I let her see her sister?"
"She saw me with Siming just now, so I'm giving her a sweet treat."
"What?" Yang Wan was shocked. "How could you be so careless? If that dead girl tells others, how can you marry Bo Jingyu? Your reputation will be ruined!"
Shen Shiyu pouted and said indifferently, "I never wanted to marry that crazy man. The real person in power in the Bo family is Siming. I'm just getting close to Bo Jingyu for Siming. Besides, I don't think she has the guts to say anything."
Just then, a maid walked in quickly.
"Miss, the Bo family has sent gifts."
The mother - daughter pair glanced at each other. Yang Wan felt strange. Why did they send things so late?
The two got up and went downstairs to the door to receive the gifts. When they saw only two people, Shen Shiyu's face turned a bit ugly. This was nothing like what she had imagined. It was so shabby!
An older man stepped forward first and handed the gift box in his hand to her. "Miss Shen, this is the young master's little token of affection."
"You're too kind."
Shen Shiyu glanced at the gift box in his hand but didn't reach out to take it. Instead, a maid beside her took it.
"The second young master told me to ask you to wear it on your wedding day."
"Okay."
Looking at the shabby gift box, Shen Shiyu didn't even want to pretend. Her face showed coldness. It was Yang Wan beside her who smoothed things over.
"Please go back and tell Jingyu that we've received the gift. Since we'll be a family in the future, there's no need to be so polite."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Yang Wan saw the people off.
Back in the living room, Yang Wan opened the gift box. Inside was a white pearl necklace. She immediately took a photo and checked its price.
"Xiaoyu, this necklace is worth five million. It seems that Bo Jingyu really cares about you."
Shen Shiyu didn't even bother to look at it. She threw the necklace on the ground and sneered coldly, "Five million is nothing! The cars and houses Siming gave me are all worth more than this stupid necklace! No wonder he's not favored in the Bo family. He's so stingy!"
After this comparison, Shen Shiyu got even angrier. "If I marry him, how much grievance will I have to suffer!"
Yang Wan echoed, "Bo Jingyu does have a bad reputation outside. I heard he has some mental problems and is not favored in the Bo family."
"If you don't want to marry him, we can just find someone to marry in your place. Problem solved."
The mother - daughter pair looked at each other and smiled. They already had someone in mind.
...
At 10 p.m., in a private boxing gym.
A man was lying on the ground in the ring, gasping for breath, while the man opposite him was breathing steadily. He slowly took off his gloves, revealing his clean and fair right hand.
His forehead was covered with slightly damp black hair. Under his handsome eyebrows were a pair of deep eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate people's minds like flowing water. His straight nose and high - bridged browbones, and his deep and cold facial features were definitely favored by God.
Even an ordinary white T - shirt on him looked extremely expensive.
Since his clothes were wet with sweat and stuck to his skin, the smooth muscle lines on his lower abdomen were faintly outlined.
This man was like someone cut out of a pictorial. Just standing there, he was already a remarkable presence.
Su Minghan grimaced in pain. After getting up, he took the mineral water handed by the staff and drank it in big gulps. Then he wiped his mouth and looked at Bo Jingyu. "No wonder the outside world says you're a crazy man. You're so ruthless to your good brother?"
