Bo Jingyu's hand glided across the skin on Shen Ximan's back. It was ice - cold, sending a tingling sensation through his whole body like an electric shock.
Moreover, when his hand accidentally touched her ear while combing her hair, the heat on it still hadn't subsided even when she was sitting in the car.
This man was really good at this!
"Yan Ming? Why are you driving?"
Bo Yanhai got into the front passenger seat and asked in confusion.
"The eldest young master went to the company first and asked me to be the driver." With a bang, the car door was slammed shut angrily.
"He's always so busy. Does he think everyone else has nothing to do?"
Butler Yan didn't say a word. He quietly started the car and drove off.
As soon as Bo Siming arrived at the hospital, he was bombarded with calls from Bo Yanhai. He directly turned his phone to silent. Yang Wan was pacing anxiously back and forth in front of the ward. When she saw his figure, she immediately trotted over and started crying, wailing like she had seen a savior.
"Woohoo, Young Master Siming! You're finally here!"
Bo Siming smiled and pulled his hand back. "How is she?"
"What else? At death's door!"
At this moment, Shen Yuliang walked over with the paid bill in his hand, a scowl on his face, and stood in front of him.
"Eldest young master, you've really dug a good pit for me." He knew Shen Yuliang was talking about the Huazhihu project.
No one had ever dared to show such an attitude to Bo Siming before, but in the current situation, he was quite restricted.
The Shen family was his stepping - stone. He had to brainwash this family well so that he could continue to use them.
"Uncle, you've misunderstood me." This address of "uncle" really surprised them. In the past, when he came to the Shen family, he always just called Shen Yuliang "General Manager Shen" and Yang Wan "Madam Shen". Now it was obvious that he was taking them as family!
Shen Yuliang instantly felt better, but he still had to maintain a bit of face and didn't respond immediately.
"The decision about the Huazhihu project was made by grandpa. It's not something I can decide on my own. Moreover, my younger brother and sister - in - law have used a lot of tricks. The person originally in charge of this project... now I can only be a supporting role!"
Bo Siming sounded so pitiful, with his head hanging down remorsefully.
"What did you say? That bitch..." Yang Wan quickly corrected herself, "Ximan actually played tricks on you?"
"Alas, it's a long story." He sighed and shook his head.
"Humph, no wonder the second young master snatched that news. It turns out Ximan was the one behind it! She has such a cruel heart. Why did she have to harm our Shen family like this? It was clearly her problem."
Shen Yuliang was so angry that he was huffing and puffing, as if he were the victim.
Bo Siming paused. "News? What news?"
"She publicly slandered Yu'er! That scar on Yu'er's face was clearly caused by herself accidentally, but she actually blamed it on our mother - daughter pair! Yu'er couldn't bear the pressure of public opinion, so..."
Yang Wan choked back her tears.
"So I asked Yuliang to post a clarification headline. But unexpectedly, it was blocked just a few minutes after it was posted."
Bo Siming was a bit incredulous.
"Is Shen Ximan really such a vicious woman?" As soon as he said this, he remembered the scene just now.
He didn't know what she was up to. She was testing his limits and doing it right in front of Bo Jingyu and grandpa.
"Yes, eldest young master. You mustn't be deceived by her weak appearance!" Yang Wan advised unwillingly.
Thinking about it, Shen Ximan might really be as she said, an intolerable woman. Since he couldn't have her, he might as well destroy her.
Bo Siming curled his lips. He had already made up his mind.
"Eldest young master?"
Yang Wan and Shen Yuliang exchanged a look, looking at his inexplicable smiling face.
"There's always a way to refuel a stubborn car."
Hengsheng Hotel.
Qian Li was standing at the door early, holding a big white bag.
"Take her to the lounge to change into the evening dress. Hurry up." Bo Jingyu got out of the car first and gave a clear - cut order.
As soon as Shen Ximan got out of the car, she was taken away by a group of people. Bo Yanhai was stunned. "What are you doing?"
"Please come with me into the venue first."
After saying that, he grabbed Bo Yanhai's arm and walked into the hotel. As soon as the elevator door opened, a strong aura of the rich wafted out.
Shen Ximan didn't even have time to take a closer look before she was stuffed into the lounge.
"Second madam, there are staff inside to help you change. The second master has ordered you to change within five minutes." Qian Li stood guard at the door and said.
Looking at the smiling female staff, she felt extremely embarrassed. If it weren't for the tight schedule, she really didn't like changing clothes under others' watchful eyes. Moreover, this place clearly seemed to be a makeshift one, without even a basic curtain.
Madam Rong Lian was notoriously arrogant. Her husband, Zhang Shengze, was a nouveau - riche. Relying on his wealth, he naturally flaunted his old bad habits.
As soon as she came out of the bathroom, she called over a staff member and scolded him.
This action attracted a lot of attention.
"You claim to be one of the top - notch hotels, but you can't even maintain basic environmental hygiene. Do you believe I'll file a complaint against you?"
The staff member looked aggrieved. "Madam, the sanitation is the responsibility of the logistics department. I'm from the lobby..."
"I don't care which department you're from. If you make me unhappy, I won't make you happy either. Call your manager here!"
Qian Li folded his arms and watched the commotion not far away, shaking his head.
"These days, anyone can get into such occasions."
After saying that, he glanced at his watch. There were still three minutes left.
Madam Rong Lian happily counted the money in her hand. It was exactly two thousand yuan. "This is a lesson for you. If I catch you again, you'll definitely lose your job!"
The staff member left with a run after bowing, crying bitterly.
In this circle, most people would choose to stand by and watch.
Firstly, there was no need to get involved in such trouble. Secondly, there was no reason to help an unrelated ordinary person.
It was meaningless. Just watch it as a joke.
Madam Rong Lian put the money into her small leather bag and strutted towards the lounge in her ten - centimeter high - heels.
"Madam, you can't go in there."
Seeing her raise her hand to open the door, Qian Li immediately blocked her with his body.
"My husband has invested the most money in this banquet! Who do you think you are to stop me? Get out of the way!"
After saying that, she tried to barge in again, but her wrist was grabbed.
Qian Li quickly let go and bent down to apologize. "Madam, someone is changing clothes inside. Please wait a few more minutes. My previous action was impolite. I apologize to you."
Madam Rong Lian rubbed her wrist and sized him up and down appreciatively, with a half - smile on her face.
"No way. My dress is in there too. I need to put it on now." Her tone was clearly coquettish, which gave Qian Li goosebumps.
Could this old woman be interested in him?
