Upon careful thought, the series of events that had taken place recently all made sense.
Shen Ximan simply wanted revenge.
Revenge against those who had bullied and tormented her.
Bo Jingyu was one of them.
He had suspected before whether she had an extraordinary connection with the top leadership of A Hairui, but he had never imagined that she would become a top - tier figure with great power, even standing above him.
Whether it was agreeing to Tian Danni's request for a photo shoot or showing up at Li Xiaoru's engagement ceremony, all were arranged by Shen Ximan.
Even during the day today, making Xue Xiaoqi go through so much trouble was also her idea. She just wanted to watch Bo Jingyu and the others scramble around in a mess and then reap the benefits.
This was the current her, domineering and unpredictable.
"What's it to you?"
Shen Ximan rolled her eyes. "Just tell me whether you agree or not. If you don't, I'll find other sponsors."
"There are other companies in Yancheng that can hold up their end of the bargain besides the Bo Corporation."
Bo Jingyu looked at her patiently. "Can we have a proper talk?"
She looked innocent. "I'm talking to you properly. It's you who keeps bringing up useless topics. Are you blaming me?"
He re - evaluated this woman.
Besides causing trouble without thinking about the consequences, she was also unreasonable.
"If you've already made up your mind, why did you call me here to talk?"
"For fun." Shen Ximan took a sip of her wine and said expressionlessly.
This really annoyed Bo Jingyu.
Even if it were another company negotiating work matters with him, they would show him some respect.
But she treated such an important matter like a joke.
Just for fun?
He angrily got up. "It seems that President Wen isn't very sincere today. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
"Stop." Shen Ximan got up and quickly walked to his side.
"You don't like it when I say a few words to you? But when you were being so mean to me before, did you ever think about how I felt?"
Bo Jingyu looked down at her, his emotions in turmoil.
"Do you have something else to say?"
She took out the sealed bag on the table, pulled out the contract inside, and opened the inkpad, putting it aside. "Sign and put your fingerprint on it."
"Are you doubting me?"
Bo Jingyu had already signed the contract when he agreed to the cooperation, but she had prepared another one, taking double precautions.
This feeling of not being trusted made him very sad.
Shen Ximan crossed her arms coolly and calmly said, "It's just signing one more contract. It's a safety guarantee for both of us."
He had a face as black as coal. He quickly signed and put his fingerprint on it, then said unhappily, "Do you have anything else?"
"See yourself out."
After saying that, she actually took the contract and left quickly before him.
Looking at Shen Ximan's heartless back, Bo Jingyu gritted his teeth in anger.
In Yancheng Detention Center, as the sky gradually brightened, Yang Wan couldn't fall asleep.
She was afraid that the man lying on the bed would jump up again and scold her like a madman. He was almost about to hit her.
"Mom, I'm so cold..."
Shen Shiyu cried hoarsely, her eyes swollen like walnuts.
"Come into mom's arms."
Yang Wan hugged her daughter, crying miserably. But more than that, she had a deep - seated hatred for Shen Ximan.
She should have strangled her and An Ruo back then! Then none of these things would have happened.
"Cough, cough!"
This cough made the mother - daughter pair tremble.
Shen Yuliang just turned over uncomfortably and continued snoring.
"Phew..."
Yang Wan let out a long breath and finally felt relieved.
Bang, bang, bang!
"Everyone inside, get up!"
A sudden knock on the door startled the three people inside.
The jailer opened the door and seriously sized them up.
"Hurry up. Don't make me say it a second time."
Shen Yuliang rubbed his blood - shot eyes listlessly, dragged his feet slowly, and walked out of the door. The other two followed closely behind.
In the visiting room, a man was standing with his back to them.
Shen Shiyu recognized him at a glance and shouted excitedly.
"Siming!"
"Shh!"
Bo Siming quickly winked at the jailer. After the door closed, he began to talk at ease.
"Keep your voice down. Be careful of eavesdroppers."
Shen Yuliang was like a drowning man who had found a life - buoy. He rushed over with shining eyes and shook hands.
"Are you here to bail us out?"
He frowned unhappily. "Sort of."
"Great! I knew there was still room for negotiation in this matter!"
He slapped his thigh, showing his yellow teeth with a scraggly beard, looking self - satisfied.
Yang Wan was also excited with tears in her eyes. "Oh, Siming, thank you!"
"Your case was reported anonymously. Bailing you out is both easy and not so easy."
Bo Siming smiled enigmatically.
"What do you mean?" Shen Shiyu stepped forward and grabbed his hand. "We've deeply reflected on our mistakes this time. Please help us!"
"Hey, don't be so impatient. With the young master of the Bo family here, what can't be done?" Shen Yuliang sat on the chair like a lord. "Those guys who judge people by their appearance won't give me face, but they'll surely give Siming face. You guys are just over - thinking!"
Yang Wan felt relieved. "That's right. As long as Siming is on our side, we're willing to be his servants in the future!"
"No, there's no need to be so humble."
Bo Siming curled his lips. "Just hand over your company to me."
These words instantly petrified the other three people present.
They stared at him in disbelief for a long time and couldn't come to their senses.
Especially Shen Yuliang. He thought he had misheard.
"What... what did you say?"
"I'm also forced into this. You should understand me."
He leisurely tidied his suit. His tone was euphemistic and a bit reluctant, as if he was also in a difficult situation.
"Who could escape the charge of illegal detention? Not an ordinary person."
Bo Siming's eyes fell on Shen Shiyu and Yang Wan.
This look made them feel ashamed and they lowered their heads guiltily.
Shen Yuliang forced a smile. "What... what does that have to do with my company?"
"Where are you now? Don't you have any idea?"
His smile froze. He stubbornly refused. "No one can touch my things! The company was founded by me. It's my life's work!"
Bo Siming nodded as if it were a matter of course. "No one says it's not yours."
"I just want the nominal equity. You can still be the chairman. No one in the company will know the internal situation. How about it? Such an opportunity doesn't come to everyone."
Shen Shiyu stared at him blankly.
He was like a ghost from hell, luring people with sweet words but actually treating them like idiots.
