Taking advantage of the time when his grandfather went upstairs to change clothes, Bo Siming walked into the backyard in a slovenly manner, his hands in his pockets and a sneer on his face.
The shiny leather shoes came into Bo Jingyu's sight, but he remained unmoved.
"Beg me, and I'll put in a good word for you in front of Grandpa."
"No need."
"Humph? What are you being so arrogant about, you good-for-nothing?"
Bo Siming kicked him with a sharp and sarcastic tone.
Bo Jingyu didn't say a word, just endured it silently.
"I'm the eldest grandson of the Bo family. You're at most just a foil. Don't think that by pulling some tricks in the previous vote, you can always get your way. You're simply not fit to take over the company!"
He looked up with a sneer. "Isn't it you who's been pulling tricks?"
Bo Siming's face instantly flushed with shame. He stepped forward and slapped him hard, gasping angrily, his eyes glaring red. "Still being stubborn while kneeling in front of me!"
Bo Jingyu licked the cut on his lip from his teeth. It tasted of blood and sweetness.
"I'm kneeling for the family precepts. It has nothing to do with you."
Just as he was about to raise his arm to teach him another lesson, Yan Ming rushed over and said in a loud voice, "Eldest Young Master!"
"The old master has already come downstairs. Please get ready to go out quickly."
Bo Siming glared at him, then turned his gaze back.
"You're lucky!"
After saying that, he pretended to be gentle and tidied up his suit, then quickly left. Watching the two figures fade away, Yan Ming quickly came over to help him up. "Second Young Master, please come back to the house with me and rest. Don't kneel anymore!"
"Don't worry about me."
The back of Bo Jingyu's white shirt was soaked with cold sweat.
His vision was blurry, and everything he saw had afterimages. But he was still so stubborn that he wouldn't listen to anything.
"Alas! Why are you so stubborn!"
As soon as the words were out, Yan Ming watched him collapse.
Today was the day when Shen Shiyu was discharged from the hospital.
She sneaked back in the middle of the night and was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep until morning. Especially when she scrolled through Weibo and saw all the negative comments against Shen Ximan, she was overjoyed.
"Yu'er, your father has already prepared the car downstairs."
Yang Wan watched the servants carrying big and small bags out, and her eyes scanned the whole ward to make sure nothing was left behind.
"Mom, I'm not going home first."
"Not going home? Where are you going?"
Shen Shiyu waved the chat records in her hand and smiled brightly.
"Siming asked me to wait for him at his company and have lunch together at noon."
"Oh! That's great! Do you want us to drive you there?" Yang Wan stomped her feet excitedly on the spot.
Before she could reply, Yang Wan grabbed her small bag and rushed out of the ward.
"I'm leaving. He sent someone to pick me up."
Watching her daughter's smiling back, Yang Wan propped her chin and thought, "If I could really have Siming as my son-in-law, I wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of my life. I could even play some higher-stakes card games!"
When she arrived at the Bo Group, Shen Shiyu got out of the car and rushed straight in, not caring at all about the pitiful looks from the people around her. She even regarded herself as the mistress and was very complacent.
"Stop. Please show your ID."
The security guard at the door blocked her way.
"I'm the eldest miss of the Shen family. Hurry up and get out of the way!"
Shen Shiyu ordered in a tough tone, completely forgetting that she was still a "masterful" victim.
The two security guards glanced at each other. They knew she was the woman who had cried piteously in the hospital and made it onto the hot search yesterday. Seeing the sympathetic looks in their eyes, Shen Shiyu felt quite satisfied.
"If you don't have an appointment, you can't go in."
"What?"
Shen Shiyu's face instantly fell. She took out her phone and was about to dial. "Let me tell you two, the eldest young master will come down to pick me up soon. You'll just wait to be fired!"
The two security guards were not at all afraid. They just kept a straight face and didn't say a word.
Beep... beep...
The phone wasn't answered for a long time. Now she was panicked.
"Siming~ I'm downstairs of your company. Why aren't you answering the phone?" Shen Shiyu quickly sent a voice message.
After a few minutes, there was still no response.
She glanced at the two security guards behind her and awkwardly swallowed her saliva.
Now it was bad. It was hard to take back the big words she had said. Now it would be embarrassing to even ask them to let her in. She might even make a fool of herself.
Just when Shen Shiyu was at a loss, she saw the man surnamed Song whom she had been forced to go on a blind date with before. He just got out of a luxury car and walked straight towards the company's main entrance.
She ran towards him like a drowning man grabbing a life buoy.
"Mr. Song!"
He was obviously stunned when he saw her overly enthusiastic look.
The humiliation in the coffee shop was still fresh in his mind. It made his good mood turn into anger instantly, and his face became ferocious.
"Do you still have the nerve to talk to me?"
Shen Shiyu twisted her body and pretended to be wronged. "I was on my period that day. It's inevitable that I had a bad attitude towards you. You won't mind, will you?"
"Humph, with my noble status, I simply look down on you. Please don't say hello to me when you see me in the future. I find it annoying!"
After saying that, the man lifted his leg and was about to leave.
"Wait!" She quickly grabbed his arm. "Will you do me a favor? I won't treat you badly."
"Why should I help a woman who insulted me?"
Shen Shiyu held back her tears and pretended to be pitiful. "I was forced by my younger sister to cut my wrist. I'm already in a very bad mood. In order not to cause trouble to my family, I came to the Bo Group to discuss cooperation on behalf of my father today. But unexpectedly, they won't let me in, saying that I'm bad for the atmosphere."
Her sad act came at once, and she performed it vividly.
"Just do a good deed and take me in, okay?"
For a normal man, no one can resist a woman who cries like a delicate flower and has a tragic background.
The protective instinct that is aroused is innate and irresistible.
Seeing that he was a bit wavering, Shen Shiyu grabbed his arm and shook it while acting coquettishly. She said in a sweet voice, "Will you help me, please~"
This scene was clearly seen by Bo Yanhai.
His face changed colors. He clenched his fists tightly.
"Why is she here at the company!"
Bo Siming, who was standing behind him, was instantly speechless.
He even wanted to rush up and give Shen Shiyu two hard slaps.
"... It was me who asked her to come."
Bo Yanhai turned his face in surprise and scolded, "I know you have some relationship with the eldest miss of the Shen family, but isn't she being too presumptuous!"
"Standing in someone else's company and flirting with others! Siming, I thought you, as Jingyu's elder brother, would be more sensible. I didn't expect you to be even more outrageous!"
Bo Siming was completely humiliated. He bowed deeply and apologized.
"Sorry, Grandpa. I'll make her leave right away."
Just as he took a few steps, he was suddenly stopped.
"Wait," Bo Yanhai raised his bloodthirsty eyes. "Tell her never to appear in front of me again, or I'll monopolize the assets of the Shen family. Do you hear me?"
The invisible pressure weighed on his shoulders, making it impossible for him to refute.
"Yes... Grandpa."
