Bo Yanhai's face instantly darkened. "What did you just call me?!"
The young man was not intimidated. "Your Bo family is about to be ruined by that so - called Second Young Mistress. Why don't you go home quickly and clean up the mess?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Before he could figure out what was going on, Qian Li rushed over from afar to report. His face was pale with shock.
"Grand Patriarch..."
Bo Yanhai suppressed his anger and followed him to a corner. He growled, "What on earth is going on? Where's Jingyu? And that girl?"
"I'm just about to report this to you! Second Master and Second Young Mistress don't know where they've gone. We've searched everywhere but there's no sign of them! They didn't even take their phones, so we can't contact them."
He hesitated while holding the tablet in his hand. "The most important thing is..."
"Stop stammering and speak up quickly!"
Bo Yanhai was extremely anxious, with fine beads of sweat on his nose.
"The two videos and photos of Miss Shen crying in the hospital have been posted on the Internet. The company is in complete chaos."
He was so angry that he almost choked.
"Quick, quick! Call Siming!"
Qian Li quickly dialed the number and handed the phone over. It rang only a few times before it was answered.
"Grandpa."
"How's the company!" Bo Yanhai's voice was hoarse with anxiety.
Bo Siming pretended to sigh helplessly. "The stock price has been dropping. I'm comforting the directors right now. Eighty percent of the just - signed and unsigned projects... are probably going to fall through!"
He took the opportunity to add a few more sly words.
"Jingyu really went too far this time. How could he let his wife act so recklessly? He simply doesn't care about the company's and the family's reputation."
Bo Yanhai had been extremely strong - willed all his life. The company was built by himself, and it was not easy to manage it to the current level.
Now he deeply felt the taste of regret.
When they voted for the heir back then, he shouldn't have chosen Bo Jingyu!
And that glib - tongued and useless girl shouldn't have been tolerated until now. She was simply a disgrace!
"Call a meeting immediately to stabilize the stock price first! I'll be at the company soon."
After saying that, Bo Yanhai, suppressing his about - to - explode anger, gritted his teeth and ordered, "Send everyone out to look for Bo Jingyu. Once you find him, bring him to the mansion immediately! And that girl too!"
Seeing his extreme anger, Qian Li didn't dare to plead.
"Yes..."
As night gradually fell, the temperature dropped.
Bo Jingyu stood against the railing with his hands in his pockets and asked in a low voice, "Cold?"
Shen Ximan shook her head. "You gave me your coat. Aren't you cold?"
"I'm a man."
"Then... shall I share half of it with you?"
She kindly pulled up half of the coat and looked up at him innocently.
For a moment, Bo Jingyu's sealed heart seemed to skip a beat, but he quickly dismissed it.
"No need. You've already touched it."
Shen Ximan had been kind - hearted, but hearing such a cold - hearted reply, her anger flared up.
So what if she touched it? It wasn't contagious!
Moreover, wasn't it him who took off the coat and put it on her just now!
"Picky!"
She threw out this angry remark and distanced herself from him.
Bo Jingyu pursed his thin lips without responding and just stood silently in the wind.
I don't know how long it had passed when her voice came.
"After the banquet is over, I probably won't stay in the Bo family anymore."
"It's not that serious."
Shen Ximan smiled awkwardly. "I signed an agreement with Grandpa."
"As long as there's anything that damages the Bo family's interests or reputation, I'll take the initiative to divorce you and pay the compensation."
Bo Jingyu moved his throat, expressionless. "It wasn't your fault."
"But it did happen, and I'll handle it properly."
Just as he was about to say something else, the door to the rooftop opened.
Qian Li stood there out of breath. "Second Master! Finally found you. Please come with me quickly."
"What's going on?"
He licked his dry lips, glanced at Shen Ximan behind him, and whispered in his ear, "Second Mistress has caused a big problem! Grand Patriarch is extremely angry. He told me to bring you two back to the mansion immediately."
Bo Jingyu's body froze, and he quickly organized his words in his mind.
"Go downstairs and prepare the car first. I'll come soon."
Qian Li hesitated for a few seconds and then left in a hurry.
"What happened?" Shen Ximan asked curiously.
"Don't stay in Yancheng anymore."
His words were as cold as frost, directly and bluntly stabbing into her heart.
"Wh... why?"
Bo Jingyu gritted his teeth and walked straight over. He mercilessly tore off the coat on her body and threw it on the ground. Looking down at her with a cold sneer, he said, "I haven't finished what I just said. What happened wasn't your fault. It's just that you're born with the nature of bringing bad luck to those around you! So I'm telling you to get out of Yancheng. Can't you understand?"
Shen Ximan looked at the cold - blooded man in front of her in disbelief. He was like a completely different person, blood - thirsty.
So the conversation just now was all her self - indulgent fantasy?
A part of her heart was torn painfully, as if being pricked by a small needle.
"I... I'll handle it properly. Trust me!"
Bo Jingyu sneered. "How are you going to handle it? With your stuttering mouth or your worthless life?"
Shen Ximan suddenly woke up.
She could more or less guess what Qian Li had told him just now.
Something must have happened to the company, and the cause was the argument between her and Lady Ronglian just now. There must have been someone at the banquet who took photos or videos and posted them on the Internet.
Now he thought she was a disgrace to the Bo family and was also worried that Grandpa was old and couldn't be angry, so he took the initiative.
What a well - thought - out plan.
Just now he even said that he would let her hand over the building opposite to Xue Xiaoqi to manage. It was all within his plan.
But even if he regarded Shen Ximan as a tool to be used, she would still follow her heart and take responsibility for what she had done.
"You don't need to lecture me. I'll go and take my punishment from Grandpa myself."
After saying that, she lifted her skirt and walked past him.
Bo Jingyu was extremely shocked.
He didn't expect that after saying such hurtful words, she would still be so stubborn!
"Stubborn!" After saying that, he quickly chased after her. When he reached the elevator entrance, the elevator was already slowly descending.
Without saying a word, Bo Jingyu rushed to the private elevator, quickly entered the password, and took it down.
Fortunately, the private elevator went straight to the first floor and was a few minutes faster than her.
As soon as the elevator door opened, Shen Ximan was pulled out by him.
"I'll sign the divorce agreement that Grandpa forced you to sign tonight. From then on, we'll have nothing to do with each other."
Bo Jingyu came straight to the point, completely ignoring her feelings.
"Are you in such a hurry?" Shen Ximan didn't even know what she was expecting. Her voice was a bit choked.
"Having a disgraceful Second Young Mistress like you makes me look bad."
His eyes were cold, and his expression was extremely indifferent.
"I just said I'll handle it! I promised Grandpa."
Bo Jingyu didn't want to argue with her anymore.
"As long as you sign, I'll pay the compensation."
