Bo Siming sneered with his hands in his pockets. "This is a matter of our Bo family. It's not your turn to lecture me. Have you sorted out the issues in your company? The online public opinions are all over the place."
"That's the business of my company. It's not your place to boss me around either."
Su Minghan's aura was icy cold. His eyes glared like a fierce dog, ready to attack at any moment.
Bo Siming took an awkward half - step back and forced a laugh. "Hehe, right. You're good friends with this ungrateful guy. You must be on his side."
"Don't make me say it a second time. Get out."
"Fine, I'll get out. Do you think I care?"
Bo Siming rolled his eyes, quickly opened the door and left.
Looking at Bo Jingyu on the bed, unconscious and sweating profusely, Su Minghan's heart remained in a state of unease.
Click. The door opened again.
"Do you have a problem with comprehension? I've already told you to..."
Xiao Shujing stood there, panicked and stiff, not knowing whether to leave or stay.
"Oh, it's you. Sorry, I'm just too on edge." Su Minghan rubbed his throbbing temples and took the things she brought and placed them on the bedside cabinet.
"I just heard the news."
"Okay, let's talk outside."
He led her to the window at the end of the corridor and lit a cigarette.
In the past, Su Minghan cared the most about his personal image. Even when he went out for dinner or attended special meetings, there were bodyguards around him. Let alone smoking in public.
"You shouldn't have come. There are all kinds of rumors on the Internet now."
Xiao Shujing lowered her head and twiddled her fingers. "I was worried about you..." She quickly changed her words halfway. "The company can't function without you."
"This isn't something you should worry about."
Su Minghan flicked the ash without even looking at her. His cold attitude was like a wall, hard to break through.
"Why didn't you tell me when you came back?"
Suddenly, a woman's voice came from behind them.
Tian Danni tiredly massaged her shoulders. "One by one, you all run out and leave the old man in the bed alone. It's really not right!"
Only then did Su Minghan remember this matter.
"Sorry, thank you for taking care of him."
"I was there at that time. It's just a little effort. Just buy me a meal of steamed buns. They must be pure meat ones!"
Her cheerful atmosphere infected him.
"Sure, I'll buy them for you later."
Su Minghan put out the cigarette and responded with a big smile.
Xiao Shujing watched them chatting and laughing. She felt like an outsider standing there. He hadn't even smiled at her, but when he saw Tian Danni, he smiled so brightly. She felt so stupid.
"I'll leave first. You guys can chat slowly."
She left in a hurry as if with her tail between her legs, feeling extremely humiliated.
"Did I come at a bad time?" Tian Danni pointed to the back.
Su Minghan shook his head. "It's okay. We've just finished talking."
"You have to go to the gym for three hours after eating the meat buns. Got it?"
She pouted aggrievedly. "Don't ruin my longing for delicious food, okay!"
"You asked for it." He walked towards the elevator with a smile.
Unconsciously, Su Minghan even had a strange feeling that he was always in a good mood when he was with Tian Danni.
Yang Wan looked at the densely - packed crowd downstairs. With a cold face, she moved away from the curtain slit and pulled it tightly.
"Hey, can you issue a statement?"
Shen Yuliang was lying on the sofa, eating grapes and watching TV leisurely. His eyes were fixed on the screen. "What statement?"
"Old Mr. Bo is hospitalized! Didn't you hear from Yu'er? That Assistant Miss Wen, the representative of Ahairei, is actually Shen Ximan!"
"If you don't clarify the relationship quickly, these reporters will surely break into our house!" Yang Wan was so anxious that she paced back and forth.
"Why are you so anxious when the Bo family isn't?"
"How can I not be anxious? Mrs. Li from Juanyi won 60 million from me last time. I haven't won it back yet!"
Shen Yuliang stared at her with wide eyes and stood up. "60 million? Are you crazy!"
She had spoken without thinking. Now it was too late to remedy it.
"I... I didn't mean it. She's just too petty."
He picked up the orange on the table and threw it at her. "Don't you know the current situation of the company? It will go bankrupt if we don't get new projects!"
Fortunately, Yang Wan was quick - eyed and caught it. Otherwise, she would have been bruised. "That's not my problem!"
"Calculate how long you've been staying at home. As the general manager of the company, shouldn't you set an example and strive for cooperation?"
The more she talked, the more aggrieved she felt. "Don't take your anger out on me!"
"Alright, alright. Are you two annoying or not!"
Shen Shiyu limped out of the room, holding on to the wall. Her face was full of annoyance and her brows were furrowed. It seemed that she was about to explode the next second.
"Oh, my baby. Why did you come out?"
Yang Wan trotted over lovingly and examined her all over. She finally let out a sigh of relief after making sure there were no other problems.
"Dad, I think Mom's suggestion this time is right."
Shen Yuliang snorted. "What do you two know? Maybe we can still make use of this."
"She's useless. How can we recycle her?"
Shen Shiyu curled her lips contemptuously. "A good cooperation meeting was ruined. The Bo family will surely hold her criminally responsible."
"If it involves our Shen family then it will be hard to clear our name."
He fell silent, as if making a decision.
After all, this girl was the daughter of his first marriage. It would be too heartless to drive her out at this time.
But then again, the urgent matter at hand had to be solved.
To save the struggling company, for the sake of reputation and status, Shen Ximan had to be the scapegoat.
Seeing that Shen Yuliang was still hesitating, Shen Shiyu originally planned to bring it up after this storm had passed, but now she had to take the initiative.
"Dad, Siming sent me a message. It's something old Mr. Bo said to him before. There's a recording as evidence."
At the mention of "Siming", his eyes lit up immediately.
"What's the news?"
"He's going to be the deputy general manager! It will happen in a few days."
Yang Wan was so surprised that her eyes popped out. Then she jumped up excitedly.
"My goodness! Really? Does this mean our Yu'er is going to be the deputy general manager's wife? We'll soon be related to the Bo family!"
Shen Yuliang bared his teeth and ran to the computer room without even putting on his slippers.
A few minutes later, the official blog of Shen's Construction Company posted an announcement.
It said that the general manager, Shen Yuliang, had severed the father - daughter relationship with his second daughter, Shen Ximan. From now on, no matter what happened, it had nothing to do with the Shen family.
Shen Shiyu smiled with crescent - shaped eyes, took a screenshot and sent it to Bo Siming.
After twenty - odd years, she had finally uprooted this thorn in her side completely. From now on, her life would only get better and more perfect.
No one could stop her plan, and she would find another chance to deal with that stupid father.
When Su Minghan saw the announcement, he was so angry that he cursed.
"Scumbag!"
