This was the person Shen Ximan had ever felt the most repulsed by from the bottom of her heart.
"You're sitting pretty firmly in the general manager's position now. Why are you still vying for an inheritance that's more trouble than it's worth?"
"How many days have you been married into this family? What do you know?!"
Bo Siming's face instantly darkened, and he said coldly.
"At least I know that we can't judge a person based on one - sided words. Sometimes, what we see isn't necessarily the truth."
Shen Ximan firmly defended Bo Jingyu. At least at this moment, she was on his side.
"Heh, so you're not going to help me, is that it?" Bo Siming squinted his eyes. "Fine then. You'll never get An Ruo back."
Shen Ximan felt the syringe tied to her thigh to make sure it was still there. Fortunately, she had secretly prepared two syringes in the hospital just now. Otherwise, it would have been really difficult to resolve this irreversible situation.
"Actually... I can change the condition." Seeing her with a dark face and saying nothing, Bo Siming slyly changed his approach.
"What?"
Shen Ximan knew full well that he couldn't come up with a good condition.
"Divorce him and marry me."
She rolled her eyes speechlessly. "What about Shen Shiyu?"
"I can keep in touch with her. After all, there are still a lot of Shen family's industries that I need to get involved in. I can't cut off the connection." He said indifferently.
"The eldest young master is really resourceful. Only a person like you could come up with such a brilliant plan, right?"
Shen Ximan was really pushed to the limit. She stepped forward boldly and grabbed his tie. Her eyes were cold and clear. "I'm really sorry. I have no interest in you at all, and I don't plan to divorce Jingyu."
Bo Siming was shocked at first. A weak woman who usually didn't even dare to raise her voice had such a huge contrast.
But his belated emotions made him develop a strong interest in her.
This was a type of woman he had never seen before.
"Are you provoking my bottom line?" He tried to threaten her.
"You're capable of kidnapping. My few words are nothing compared to that. How can it be considered provoking?" Shen Ximan retorted fearlessly.
"Come here!"
Bo Siming wanted to see how she could escape from the crowd.
He could already imagine the scene of her kneeling at his feet, crying and begging for mercy. But before he could react, he was taken hostage instead.
"You'd better behave. The liquid in the syringe is enough to knock you out for a long time." Shen Ximan pressed the needle against his neck and warned him coldly.
"E, eldest young master?!"
The few servants who rushed over stared at the scene in front of them in disbelief. They stood there at a loss, with sweat pouring down their faces.
"Tell them to back off, and then bring An Ruo out!"
Bo Siming's eyes were fixed on the pillow that reflected silver light below. He nervously swallowed his saliva and stubbornly said, "You're actually threatening me! There are so many people here. Let's see how long you can hold on!"
"Then you can give it a try."
After saying that, Shen Ximan didn't hesitate to inject the syringe into his arm. After a few minutes, he began to feel dizzy.
"You..."
Bo Siming saw blurry shadows in front of his eyes and couldn't hold on any longer. He fainted.
After ensuring that the medicine had taken effect in his body, Shen Ximan looked up and said, "Bring my sister out. Otherwise, I can't guarantee his safety."
The servants didn't dare to resist. "O, okay! Right away!"
Suddenly, a group of bodyguards wearing black sunglasses rushed in orderly and surrounded everyone on the scene.
She thought they were reinforcements sent by Bo Siming, and her heart sank.
"Second master, we've confirmed that the second mistress is here."
The head of the bodyguards conveyed the message through his Bluetooth earpiece.
After a few minutes, Bo Jingyu emerged handsomely from the crowd of bodyguards.
Tears welled up in Shen Ximan's eyes for no reason.
He had seen her message!
"Take the second mistress and the third young lady out first."
Considering the current special situation, she obediently didn't object and silently followed the bodyguards out of the mansion and got into the car.
Bo Jingyu stepped forward to check on Bo Siming's condition. After making sure that he was in a coma due to the sleeping pills, he told his subordinates to take him away.
He had suspected something during the last kidnapping incident. Those men in black were very skilled and should have been retired special agents. Now it was confirmed.
"Second master, what should we do with the eldest young master?"
"Just leave him here. He'll go back by himself when he wakes up."
This was the first time Bo Jingyu had sat in the passenger seat in recent times.
Ruo Chi stole a few glances at him but quietly kept his mouth shut.
It seemed that the second master was really angry today. No wonder. The second mistress had run away without notice right under their noses. Anyone would be in a bad mood.
Shen Ximan hugged An Ruo in her arms and lovingly stroked her head. She didn't notice the complicated emotions of the two men at all.
"Aunt Yang, I'll have to trouble you again."
Bo Jingyu politely greeted the housekeeper.
"It's okay. It's much livelier with them around. Will you stay for lunch today?"
"No, I have a dinner appointment."
Shen Ximan secretly glanced at him a couple of times. She was already mentally prepared to be scolded.
"Get up." He strode over and got closer to her.
She lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong, not daring to say a word.
"Are you crazy? Going there alone is like risking your life!"
"... I didn't have your phone number, so I left a message at the nurse's station. I also wanted to call you about this, but the situation was urgent."
Bo Jingyu sneered. "If you didn't have my number, why didn't you ask me for it? Ruo Chi and Qian Li have it. Only you don't!"
Judging from his tone, it seemed that he was blaming her.
There was even a hint of arrogance.
Shen Ximan timidly looked up. "Here, my phone."
He frowned and stared at her for a while. Then he reluctantly took the phone and quickly entered his number.
"If this kind of special situation happens again in the future, the emergency contact in the number one key has my number. Call me. Got it?"
Shen Ximan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. "Yes! I know."
"I'm going on a business trip today. You and An Ruo can stay here for now." After saying that, Bo Jingyu buttoned up the middle button of his suit and left in a hurry.
"You and the second young master have such a good relationship."
Aunt Yang walked over with a big smile on her face.
"Where is it good? You didn't see the look in his eyes just now. It was like he wanted to pierce me with a needle! He's so fierce and not gentle at all. He's always ordering me around!" While he was away, Shen Ximan took the opportunity to complain.
Only after she finished did she realize what she had said. She smiled foolishly.
"Second mistress, this is your original personality, right?"
Aunt Yang saw through her at a glance. She gently touched the scarred side of her face through the veil and smiled like a clear pool of water, pure and clean.
"From now on, in this mansion, you can just be yourself. There's no one you need to guard against here, and there are no difficult matters to deal with. Live freely here."
This was the first time in Shen Ximan's twenty - odd years of life that someone other than her biological mother had opened their arms to her.
