Looking at Shen Shiyu lying on the bed, Yang Wan was in floods of tears.
"My daughter... Waaah."
Shen Yuliang was also seething with anger.
"Such a false accusation has been unjustly thrown at us. Yu'er must have been so outraged that she did this!"
She grabbed his arm, her lips trembling like a pear blossom in the rain. "Yuliang, aren't you suspicious? There's an 80 - 90% chance that it was that girl who sabotaged your project!"
"Now that she's the glorified Second Young Mistress, she must be taking revenge on us! My poor Yu'er. Yu'er is the only precious one in our Shen family now."
Shen Yuliang's face was ashen. He wasn't without suspicion. The project that had been going so well suddenly issued an ultimatum.
As the eldest grandson of the Bo family, Bo Siming still had some say, and his personal ability couldn't be underestimated.
The old man had been a titan in the business world for so many years. He couldn't not value his grandson.
"Mr. Shen, Mrs. Yang."
The doctor came over with the medical record to explain the situation.
"Miss Shen's wound is not very deep at present. Remember to keep her diet light recently. Also, take care of her mood. Otherwise, it will be unfavorable for the wound to heal."
Yang Wan let out a disdainful snort. "When did the hospitals in Yancheng start allowing just anyone in? Shouldn't you be doing your utmost to treat my daughter? You're supposed to be a doctor!"
The doctor was taken aback on the spot and replied unhappily, "Mrs. Yang, that kind of all - out treatment is not within my scope. If you want comprehensive treatment, please transfer your daughter to another hospital."
She immediately glared at him. "What's your attitude? Do you believe I'll file a complaint against you!"
This argument attracted the attention of many people. Shen Yuliang clearly felt embarrassed and quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
"Alright, alright. This is a public place!"
Yang Wan unwillingly turned her face away, fuming with anger.
The doctor pushed his glasses. "Sorry, Mr. Shen. I've made you laugh."
Watching his retreating back, Shen Yuliang's face fell. He took out his phone and quickly made a call.
"It's me. Bring a doctor named Wang Dechun from Yancheng Hospital to Hori Mountain tonight. I have something to take care of."
Yang Wan smiled triumphantly. Her husband was really decisive!
"Hey, where are you going?"
Shen Yuliang glanced at her. "I'm going to find someone to write a news headline."
That night, a striking news article appeared on various platforms.
"The second daughter of the Shen family turned her back on her family. She publicly slandered the Shen family and caused an internal rift. Now, the eldest daughter has cut her wrists and is still in a coma."
Shen Yuliang looked at the news with satisfaction and kicked the dying man on the ground harder with each kick.
The man's face and body were a bloody mess. He was barely holding on with weak breaths.
"Listen to me. If you ever dare to provoke our Shen family again, I'll ruin three generations of your family."
After saying that, he threw a stack of money in the doctor's face.
"Disappear from Yancheng starting tomorrow. Keep your mouth shut. If I hear a single word about what happened today, I'll take your life."
Shen Yuliang put on the coat his subordinate handed him, lit a cigarette and took a deep puff. "Send him to a familiar clinic. Make him leave tomorrow."
He looked up at the twinkling stars in the sky. The last bit of reason and hesitation in his heart was completely gone.
"Ximan, Dad has no other choice. Since you've become a bad girl who turns against your own family, Dad can't spoil you anymore."
Shen Yuliang muttered to himself. He threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with a twist of his ankle.
He thought this little strategy would yield some results. But no sooner had he felt proud than he received some news.
"Mr. Shen, that news article... has been scooped up."
"What? How is that possible!"
Shen Yuliang couldn't believe it. He took the phone and refreshed it. Sure enough, there was not a single trace of the article, and the paid internet trolls he hired had also been wiped out.
"Damn it. Which daredevil is going against me!"
His subordinate stammered in fear. "It's... it's the Second Young Master of the Bo family."
At this moment, Bo Jingyu was sitting in the car, staring expressionlessly at the hacker data on the tablet. After learning that Shen Ximan fearlessly confronted the Shen family, he had made two preparations.
One was to bring her back to the mansion so that outsiders and Bo Siming couldn't do anything to her. The other was to constantly monitor the Shen family's movements. Sooner or later, those capitalists with a strong sense of justice would take action.
"Second Master, A Q has sent a message saying the job is done."
Qian Li hung up the phone on his Bluetooth earpiece and reported.
A Q was the top - level hacker in Bo Jingyu's company. There was nothing he couldn't do.
"Okay," Bo Jingyu closed his computer. "Don't tell the Second Young Mistress about this. She has a lot of things to deal with now that she's just returned to the mansion."
"Okay, Second Master. You..."
Seeing his hesitant expression, Bo Jingyu raised his eyebrows. "Speak."
"Please give the Second Young Mistress a message for me when you go back. Tell her not to take to heart the stupid things I did before."
Bo Jingyu leaned back with interest. "Oh? Have you changed your opinion?"
Qian Li blushed and forced out a few dry laughs. "I always thought the Second Young Mistress was after your status and position. I didn't expect her to have such a tragic experience."
"She's always been like that."
Bo Jingyu remembered the scene when he and Ruo Chi went to rescue her. She had been so straightforward and unashamed when facing Bo Siming.
"What?" Qian Li was a bit confused and didn't hear clearly.
"Just stop at the door. Don't go in. Take good care of An Ruo."
After saying that, he pushed open the car door and got out. A bedside lamp was still on in the bedroom. The girl in the bed was already sound asleep, breathing evenly.
Bo Jingyu looked down at her from above, secretly complaining in his heart.
She's so feisty when she's awake, but so peaceful when she's asleep.
"Don't..."
He quickly leaned in and whispered, "What did you say?"
Shen Ximan mumbled with her pouting lips, "Don't take An Ruo away."
"..." A look of pity welled up in his eyes.
He really couldn't figure her out.
She seemed so delicate and weak, but there was a stubborn streak in her. She would dare to try even the steepest cliffs.
At first, Bo Jingyu just wanted to use her to treat his illness. After all, the headache had accompanied him for so many years, and no doctor had been able to achieve the effect she did.
But now, he actually wanted to know more about her.
Just as he was lost in thought, Shen Ximan woke up.
Their eyes met, and their pupils reflected each other's shadows.
"Ah!"
She was stunned for a few seconds and then slapped him.
"What... what are you doing!"
Shen Ximan was so scared that she grabbed the bed sheet tightly and shrank her neck in terror.
Bo Jingyu twitched the corner of his mouth. His cheek was a bit red from the slap. This slap had really woken him up. Just now, he had actually had the thought of getting to know her. He must have been out of his mind.
"You have my book under your pillow."
