Bo Siming coldly dropped that line and then walked straight back to his residence without looking back. Seeing this, Shen Shiyu scurried after him in a hurry, wearing a fawning smile and being extremely obsequious.
The villagers watched their retreating figures and gathered around to gossip.
"Isn't that eldest young master of the Bo family with that ugly girl? Then what's going on with this eldest miss of the Shen family..."
Zhang Caixia rolled her eyes as she mumbled.
"Wow! Two women vying for one man?!"
The middle - aged man with glasses clicked his tongue and shook his head. "It's more than that!"
"The village head even took that girl and Young Master Bo home together. The relationships among these four people are really complicated!"
"Keep gossiping and you can all stop working. I'll give you a whole day off to chat!" The village head showed up just in time and scolded them angrily.
Those people all shrank their necks embarrassedly and kept silent.
"Let's go quickly. The work in the fields isn't done yet."
"Village head, you've got to stand up for me regarding the demolition!"
Zhang Caixia, who had no sense of propriety, still kept nagging about this matter.
"The demolition agreement was signed by Manager Bo. It's no use coming to me," he explained to her patiently while holding back his annoyance. "Moreover, Young Master Bo did this for your own good. Why can't you see the big picture?"
"Humph! That's a real joke. I think all those BOs are in cahoots!"
The village head saw the electric moped approaching not far away and kept winking at her, but Zhang Caixia didn't notice at all.
"Being rich doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. If I were rich, I wouldn't even look at that pretty boy! It's really true that there are all kinds of strange people in this world."
Bo Jingyu parked the electric moped in front of them, smiling faintly.
"Aunt Zhang has quite a few opinions about our Bo family."
Hearing this suddenly, Zhang Caixia turned pale with fright.
"Grandpa." Shen Ximan got off the electric moped.
"You! Why are you back again!"
Village Head Zhong's expression changed from surprise to anxiety. He was extremely angry.
"Grandpa, this is my matter. I'll take responsibility."
She stepped forward to explain, with no hesitation in her eyes.
"Oh my god, this jinx is here again."
Zhang Caixia's voice was as soft as a mosquito's as she murmured a few words.
Before Village Head Zhong could say anything, Bo Jingyu took the lead.
"Aunt Zhang, seeing how eager you are, I think you should get preferential treatment. Others don't have this special opportunity."
"Really? Is it really true?" Her attitude did a 180 - degree turn, and she was almost jumping with joy.
"I'll have the excavator demolish your house first tomorrow."
Shen Ximan bit her lip to hold back her laughter, afraid that she would burst out laughing.
"No, no. Young Master Bo, I was just talking nonsense. You can't do this to me. Our whole family is counting on this old house!"
Zhang Caixia's face fell, and she pleaded and argued.
"Do you really regret it?" Bo Jingyu probed.
"Really! I swear!" She held up three fingers to swear.
"Then could you please set an example tomorrow and spread more rumors about me and my wife." He smiled and put his arm around Shen Ximan to claim his ownership.
"Okay, okay. No problem at all!"
For the sake of her own property, Zhang Caixia exchanged a few polite words and then rushed back to her old house without looking back.
"Young Master Bo, you shouldn't have promised her!"
The village head felt extremely troubled.
"I'll handle everything. You can go back first."
After saying that, he pulled Shen Ximan towards the homestay.
"You don't have to get involved in this. I can handle it myself."
She looked at his delicate side - face uneasily, and the more she looked, the more she couldn't take her eyes off.
"We're not divorced yet, Man'er."
It was like Cupid's arrow had suddenly pierced her heart. That sour and exciting feeling instantly spread through her whole body, making her voice soft.
"... Bo Jingyu, can I take this as a confession?"
Shen Ximan had never even dreamed of such a harmonious atmosphere before.
Moreover, she had always thought that there would be no future with this scheming man. Let alone walking hand in hand like this, looking at the scenery along the way slowly and then returning to their residence.
"Not yet. I'll make it up to you later."
Bo Jingyu tightened his grip on her hand, and their body heat was transferred to each other.
"By the way, Bo Siming just said that Grandpa is looking for me. With our current situation... What should we do?"
There were still concerns in Shen Ximan's heart. Their relationship was strongly opposed by Bo Yanhai. If he knew they weren't divorced...
"He was just making it up."
Bo Jingyu was completely calm, and he even felt like laughing.
"I asked Ruochi just now. Grandpa and some of his friends went mountain - climbing recently. I'm afraid there's no signal for his phone."
"But..." Shen Ximan was still worried.
"No buts. I'll take care of it."
The two people's long shadows were cast on the slope of the road, as if they had always been together, without any disagreements or obstacles.
For a moment, Shen Ximan thought about eternity.
"Can you stop following me?"
Bo Siming glared at the annoying follower behind him impatiently, extremely irritated.
"But you're the only one I have now, Siming. You promised to help me!"
Shen Shiyu rolled up her sleeve and choked with sobs. "Do you know? That nurse gave me injections every day to prevent me from running away!"
"The needle holes on my arm still haven't healed! Waaah, I've never been this miserable even when I was sick!"
"What do you want to do?" There was only impatience in his eyes.
He increasingly felt that this woman was a burden, and he even regretted his decision back then. He shouldn't have gotten involved with this sticky woman.
"I've already communicated with that Aunt Zhang. Tomorrow, when those farmers go out to work, I'll spread the rumors."
There was a fierce look in Shen Shiyu's eyes.
"I want everyone to know that I'm the victim! What right does Shen Ximan have to come here with such a thick skin? A discarded woman has no right to show off in front of me!"
Bo Siming let out a tired sigh.
"She wasn't discarded."
"What?" She stared at him in disbelief.
"Are you deaf? She didn't divorce Bo Jingyu!"
It was a long story. Bo Siming was confused by Shen Ximan and then brought her here to reconcile with another man. Now he regretted it so much.
After hearing this news, Shen Shiyu's face turned green.
It was like the pigeon she finally got had suddenly flown away.
"She won't escape tomorrow. I'll definitely ruin her reputation!"
After saying these harsh words, there was no response.
Shen Shiyu turned around and only then realized that Bo Siming, who was sitting on the sofa, had already left. He was already tired of her.
Two lines of clear tears streamed down her face, and her heart was in great pain.
Bo Siming lay in bed, staring blankly at the incandescent lamp on the ceiling.
For some reason, as soon as he closed his eyes, Shen Ximan's figure and smile would appear in his mind and wouldn't go away.
He shook his head and comforted himself in his heart.
She just looked like his first love. There was nothing special about her.
