Bo Jingyu slightly raised his eyebrows, took the towel and wiped the sweat off. He said casually, "There are no good brothers in the ring, only opponents."
As soon as Su Minghan heard this, he felt a chill run down his spine. He put his finger on his temple in a gesture of swearing, "I'll never fight boxing with you again!"
This pathetic sense of self - preservation made the surrounding staff burst into laughter.
At this time, the middle - aged man who had just gone to the Shen family to deliver gifts was waiting aside, as if he had something to report.
Su Minghan left consciously and went to the locker room.
When Bo Jingyu sat down on the sofa, the man reported respectfully, "When I got there, I happened to see the eldest young master coming out of the Shen family."
Bo Jingyu looked cold and just grunted.
"Do we need to send someone to follow the eldest young master?"
"No need to stir up trouble. But keep an eye on the Shen family. Since Bo Siming wants to use the beauty trap, we'll play along. Advance the wedding date, skip the tedious wedding ceremony. In a couple of days, just send someone to pick up Shen Shiyu."
The man nodded, "Yes."
...
The next day, the servants were already busy. Seeing Shen Ximan kneeling in the living room, all of them laughed in tacit agreement.
A female servant walked up to her impatiently, "Move to another place to kneel. I need to clean the carpet."
Although she was the second young lady of the Shen family, her status in the family was even lower than that of the servants. Everyone could bully her.
Whether openly or secretly, Shen Ximan had been targeted a lot and was already used to it.
She slowly got up, but because she had been kneeling for too long, her legs were numb and she fell to the ground again.
"Stop pretending!"
The servant kicked her calf directly, "You're not some real young lady. Can your legs be useless just from kneeling?"
The kick was quite hard, but Shen Ximan just gritted her teeth slightly and didn't say a word. She propped herself up on the sofa and moved to another place.
Her awkward and embarrassing posture made the other servants laugh, looking like they were watching a show.
Aunt Liang came downstairs and happened to see this scene. She coughed, and her imposing manner made the other servants quickly disperse to do their own things.
When Shen Ximan saw her, her eyes moved, and she actually crawled in front of her.
Aunt Liang frowned, looking a bit displeased, "Second young lady, what are you doing?"
"Aunt Liang, I've said hello to my sister. I'm going to deliver food to An Ruo today."
She lowered her head, clutching the corner of her clothes with both hands. Her extremely begging look satisfied Aunt Liang's superior mentality.
Aunt Liang was about to speak when Shen Shiyu's voice came from upstairs. She was wearing a delicate silk pajamas, propping her hands on the handrail, smiling at them.
"Aunt Liang, add a drumstick to that person's meal today."
Shen Ximan was stunned, and the alarm bell in her mind rang. She knew very well that Shen Shiyu was not that kind - hearted.
But at the moment, she didn't care about what scheme that woman was up to. She just wanted to confirm An Ruo's safety.
Shen Shiyu slowly walked downstairs. She gave Aunt Liang a look, and Aunt Liang understood immediately and immediately dismissed all the servants.
She was very concerned about her reputation and persona outside, so in many situations where she tortured Shen Ximan, she would avoid everyone.
Shen Shiyu swayed her slender waist and sat down on the sofa. Then she propped her chin and looked at Shen Ximan with a smile.
"Come here."
She was about to get up when she saw Shen Shiyu wiggle her finger, "No, I mean for you to crawl over."
Her index finger suddenly tightened, and the blue veins on her fair hand showed, but Shen Shiyu didn't notice.
This was not the first time.
She hid all the humiliation in her heart, then slowly got on the ground and crawled towards her bit by bit.
Seeing this, Shen Shiyu gave a satisfied smile. When she crawled in front of her, she lifted her chin and stroked her head, just like stroking her dog.
"How about you marry Bo Jingyu in my place?"
Shen Ximan was stunned and stared blankly at her.
"If you don't agree, I'll cut off your sister's tongue and then cut off her ears. I'll torture her slowly."
"If you're willing to marry into his family in my place, you'll be married into a wealthy family. I'll definitely treat An Ruo well."
After she finished speaking, she tucked Shen Ximan's hair behind her ear, "So, what do you think?"
Shen Shiyu had a face as beautiful as a fairy, but her heart was stinking worse than a cesspool.
Shen Ximan had long known about the relationship between her and Bo Siming. As for Bo Jingyu, she hadn't had the time to investigate what kind of person he was.
But at this moment, there was the same weak look on her face, her eyes full of panic. She nodded nervously, "I'm willing! Don't torture An Ruo!"
Her cowardly and obedient look made Shen Shiyu very satisfied. She patted her head, "Good girl."
"Go. Take a last look at An Ruo before you marry into the Bo family."
...
This villa had eight floors in total, with two basement floors. An Ruo had always been locked in the basement.
Aunt Liang led her down the winding stairs and then through the winding passage before they came to the small dark room where An Ruo was locked.
The two guards opened the window and passed the food in. A pair of bony hands reached out and carefully took the food.
The next second, the window was closed. Shen Ximan stood on this side of the door, and her heart trembled.
"An Ruo... Don't be afraid. It's sister."
Her eyes were hot. She gently comforted her sister through the door, but there was no sound from the other side for a long time.
Aunt Liang looked at the time and said coldly, "Your sister is a fool anyway. She doesn't understand what you're saying. Alright, let's go."
She clenched her fist slightly, lowered her head, and her long hair covered her angry expression, "My sister is not a fool."
Aunt Liang was too lazy to talk to her, "Alright, the young lady ordered that you can only stay for five minutes. Time's up."
After saying that, she turned around and left.
Shen Ximan clenched her fist tightly, holding back the impulse to break the lock on the door and forcing herself to stay calm.
"Be good, An Ruo. Sister will come to see you in a few days."
She turned her head, and a cold light flashed in her eyes. Just wait a little longer. She could rescue An Ruo. By then, she would make this mother - daughter pair pay a heavy price.
...
Two days later in the evening, Shen Ximan got into the car sent by the Bo family.
Because she was wearing a veil, the people from the Bo family didn't recognize that it was a different person. They directly sent her to Bo Jingyu's mansion.
