"What now!"
Shen Shiyu had just removed her makeup. She poked her head out of the bedroom impatiently.
"Quickly call that ugly girl back. The Second Young Master is waiting at the door. He insists on seeing her!" Yang Wan was holding the handrail, hands on her hips, speaking anxiously halfway up the stairs.
"Oh no! She must be all dirty now. If we call her out and the Second Young Master notices something, it'll be a huge problem!"
She quickly ducked back into the room, applied a thick layer of powder, and then calmly walked downstairs to meet Bo Jingyu at the villa gate.
"Why did the Second Young Master come here suddenly?"
Bo Jingyu looked at Shen Shiyu's uneven - skinned face with a few pimples. He frowned, bypassed her, and looked behind, "Where is she?"
"My younger sister is taking a bath. She just went in. Would you like to come in for a cup of tea and take a seat? My sister is really slow. It'll probably take a while." She smiled gracefully, her words making perfect sense.
"Why didn't you report to me when you took her back to the Shen family?"
Bo Jingyu simply ignored her words and questioned her somewhat unhappily.
"Um... We made this decision on the spur of the moment. It shouldn't cause any problems, right?" She awkwardly tugged at the corner of her mouth, muttering to herself.
If he's so worried about his own wife, why doesn't he just call and ask?
Making such a big fuss and driving all the way from the mansion just to see her? This is so absurd!
They've only been married for a few days, and they're already so lovey - dovey. It's impossible for Shen Shiyu not to be envious.
"She is my wife and a member of the Bo family. If something happens to her on the way, who will be responsible? As her family, you don't even understand such basic rules, and you still dare to say it won't cause any problems?"
Bo Jingyu retorted rudely, not giving her any chance to take the initiative.
"I'm really sorry. I didn't think it through."
Shen Shiyu was so angry that she felt the fire burning inside. She gritted her back teeth tightly.
"Pay attention to your boundaries in the future. Go in and tell her I'll wait for her to come down."
"… Okay."
Shen Shiyu returned to the living room with a dark face, saying nothing.
"How is it? How is it? Did the Second Young Master go back?"
Yang Wan trotted over, baring her teeth, about to praise her for being smart and capable. But seeing her strange expression, she swallowed her words back.
"Call that bitch out, clean her up quickly, and throw her out!"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Shen Shiyu took off her high - heels and casually threw them down. She roared ferociously, "The Second Young Master is here to take his beloved wife home! Are you deaf? Why do you talk so much nonsense all day long!"
"I..." Yang Wan looked at her departing back aggrievedly, tears welling up in her eyes.
"What are you shouting about? Can't a person get some rest?" Shen Yuliang came out of his bedroom on the first floor and heard the sound of the door slamming on the second floor.
"Why do you always take your anger out on me? I'm not your punching bag!" Yang Wan picked up the high - heel not far from her feet and threw it hard at a passing maid's face.
The heel hit the maid's eye, and blood dripped down.
"Don't just stand there! Clean it up quickly! What's the use of you!"
"I'm sorry, Madam!"
Shen Yuliang pouted and frowned as he walked over, "It's such a mess. What did you do to Yu'er again?"
"The Second Young Master came to ask for someone. Yu'er couldn't handle it and lost her temper. This girl's temper is getting weirder and weirder these days."
A look of fear flashed in Yang Wan's eyes.
"Didn't I tell you during the day? He, the Second Young Master, is just my son - in - law. There's nothing to be afraid of. I'll go and deal with it."
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Shen Ximan rushed out and stopped him.
"I'll go instead."
"You? Go?" Shen Yuliang sneered, "Do you want to go out and make a fool of me?"
She lowered her head timidly, wringing her fingers as she explained, "Father should know the Second Young Master's temper better than I do. Why make a simple matter complicated?"
He was taken aback. He didn't expect this girl to be so eloquent all of a sudden.
"Our Shen family has always been a family that receives excellent education. If you dare to talk nonsense and spread rumors, I won't let you off!" Shen Yuliang said in a bad tone, even with a hint of threat.
"Thank you, Father."
Shen Ximan didn't dare to look up at them from beginning to end. She ran quickly, letting her hair down as she rushed towards the entrance.
"That ugly girl has a backer now. She won't go and report on us or take revenge, will she?" Yang Wan murmured worriedly.
"Humph, I bet she doesn't have the guts! I regret giving birth to this daughter. She's so stupid and ugly. I really don't know what the Second Young Master sees in her. Do people with strange personalities all have strange tastes?"
She rolled her eyes and didn't comment.
Before Shen Ximan even reached Bo Jingyu, he frowned.
"Go home with me."
"Huh?" She didn't expect him to say this.
Especially the words "go home" sounded quite warm.
But considering their current relationship, she always felt there was a hidden meaning in his words.
Bo Jingyu opened the car door. Seeing that she didn't follow, he asked, "What's wrong?"
"Do you need something from me?"
He raised his eyebrows and casually came up with a reasonable excuse, "My head hurts. Don't forget what you promised me."
Shen Ximan clenched the corner of her clothes. She kept a cold face, pretending to be calm, "You seem to be in good health. What on earth do you want from me? To monitor me?"
Bo Jingyu's kindness was trampled on. He sneered, "That's right. I feel uncomfortable all over if I don't see you suffer for a day. I just came here on purpose to see if you're still alive."
She knew it!
How could such an unpredictable man come here for no reason just to meet and chat with her?
It seemed that the plan to save An Ruo had to be advanced. She would never allow her sister to fall into the hands of such a cold - blooded and heartless person. Just thinking about it made her shudder.
"You've seen me. You can go now."
Bo Jingyu squinted his eyes and strode towards her, "Are you ordering me?"
Shen Ximan swallowed hard. She pretended to be scared and shrank her neck, "You're the Second Young Master. How could I have the ability to order you?"
"It seems that cleaning the house in the Shen family suits you better."
After saying this, he got into the car gracefully and drove away.
Her heart was filled with uneasiness. A person with such strong insight would surely become a formidable opponent one day.
Back at the villa, Shen Ximan walked slowly into the living room to report.
"The Second Young Master has gone back."
Shen Yuliang was twirling the beads in his hand. He suddenly threw them at her.
"Ah!"
She was so scared that she sat down on the ground, her body trembling uncontrollably.
"Father, what are you doing?"
"I just slipped my hand. Why are you so excited?"
Shen Ximan bit her lower lip and silently endured this deliberate act.
"What are you still standing there for? Wash a fruit platter for me, and then go clean the basement." Shen Yuliang carelessly crossed his legs, looking extremely superior.
"Okay."
Yang Wan chuckled softly, "It was just a false alarm. I don't think she'll be able to stay in the Bo family for long with her jumpy appearance."
He stroked his chin, recalling Shen Ximan's words just now.
It seemed that she just volunteered out of a momentary impulse. In essence, she was still an ugly girl with low IQ and EQ.
He must have been overthinking.
