"Dad, have you come up with a good idea?" Shen Shiyu trotted over cheerfully, her face full of expectation.
"Who do you think I am?" Shen Yuliang tilted up his chin and hooked the corner of his lips, "I used to be a figure on the battlefield. This kind of small thing is a piece of cake. You'll never guess what I've done."
"Stop boasting. Just get to the point." Yang Wan retorted listlessly.
"I've mailed the contract to Siming's father!"
As soon as the words were out, the two women stared blankly, as if their minds had gone blank.
Shen Yuliang was still happily talking to himself.
"At first, Siming promised me that he'd transfer the money to me as soon as the contract was signed. But up till now, there's been no news. I was worried that he'd go back on his word, so I decided to deal with Bo Jingming instead. I'll ask for 300,000 this month, and 400,000 or 500,000 next month. As long as I have that handle..."
Ding-dong. The doorbell rang.
He impatiently clicked his tongue. "Lao Liang, hurry up and open the door!"
Butler Liang rushed towards the door in a hurry, even forgetting to take off his gloves. When he peeked through the peephole, he was so frightened that he stood still.
"M - Mr. and Mrs., it's the eldest young master!"
"What are you shouting for? You're so spineless!" Yang Wan had nowhere to vent her anger, so she scolded him.
"It's the eldest young master here."
Shen Yuliang ran over gleefully. "He must be here to give me the money! I knew Bo Jingming, as a father, would keep his word!"
He opened the door and greeted with a smile. "Si..."
Before he could finish his word, he was punched to the ground by Bo Siming.
"Have I ever told you that I have a short fuse?"
"Ugh - cough, cough, cough!" He coughed up a mouthful of blood in a sorry state.
"Dad!" Shen Shiyu gasped in horror and rushed over to stop Bo Siming. "Siming, what are you doing? How can you just start hitting people!"
Behind them, Yang Wan had already slumped to the ground in fright.
"What am I doing? Why don't you ask this old bastard what he's up to?" Bo Siming's eyes were cold, even filled with a killing intent.
"The contract clearly states that the company's equity belongs to me, and 300,000 will be transferred to his card on time every month. But what did he do?"
He laughed out of anger. "He went to my father to complain?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Dad really did something wrong this time. I apologize to you on his behalf. Please don't be angry, okay?"
Shen Shiyu was extremely scared, but she was even more afraid of losing this money tree.
"Get out of the way." Bo Siming glared at her. "If you want to get involved, the people behind me aren't easy to deal with. Do you want to give it a try?"
Looking at those dark - clothed men, she swallowed nervously.
"Come on, beat him until he can't walk properly."
He slouched on the sofa, resting his shoulders on the tea table. He glanced at Yang Wan contemptuously and said, "You, go and pour me a glass of water. I'm a bit thirsty after coming from so far away."
But Yang Wan was still in a daze.
"Mom, Mom!" Shen Shiyu whispered to remind her.
"Ah, ah? What's going on?"
She looked blank and was startled by the actions of those people in front of her and let out a scream.
"Shut up!" Bo Siming frowned impatiently. "I told you to go and pour me a glass of water. Are you deaf? Or do you want to join your husband's fate?"
Yang Wan scrambled to the kitchen to pour water. She tremblingly held the teacup and handed it over. "Si, Siming, no! Eldest young master, please have some. If there's anything we've done improperly, please let us know!"
He enjoyed being flattered very much.
He took the water and gulped it down a few times, then beckoned to Shen Shiyu.
"Come here."
She walked forward slowly, startled at every step.
She was afraid of getting in touch with this devil - like man.
"Can you hurry up!"
Shen Shiyu's shoulders trembled in fright, and she quickly stepped closer.
Bo Siming grabbed her hair and stared straight ahead. His tone was so gentle that it could melt, but the words he said were terrifying.
"Ah!" She was in so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes.
Yang Wan could only cover her mouth in distress. She was helpless.
"See? This is what will happen to those who betray me."
Shen Yuliang, who had been crying out in pain just now, was now like a corpse lying in a pool of blood. He didn't even have the strength to struggle.
"I've been so good to you. You won't let me down, will you?"
Bo Siming's words were like the chains of the Grim Reaper around her throat. If given a chance, one should be grateful. Resisting stubbornly would only lead to losing everything, or even worse.
Shen Shiyu couldn't control her body from trembling. Her teeth were chattering in fear. Apart from instinctively obeying, she had no other choice.
"You're so good~" He pinched her cheek and gave her a smooch. "Sit down."
He patted the seat beside him, smiling.
"A show like this doesn't come along every day."
Devil.
These two words popped up in Yang Wan and Shen Shiyu's minds at the same time.
Bo Siming was a devil.
A complete scumbag, a heartless bastard.
He actually called a bloody and cruel scene a "show" and even invited Shen Yuliang's own daughter to watch it.
How twisted his mind must be to do such a thing!
The anger, struggle, and retort in their hearts could only be thought about.
Under the pressure of reality, they had to adapt and accept.
More than ten minutes later, Shen Yuliang was carried to the hospital on a stretcher.
And Shen Shiyu was taken to a hotel by Bo Siming. She was tortured so badly that she couldn't get out of bed. Her body was covered in bruises, with no intact place.
Yang Wan was even more miserable. She was sent to his private villa and was made to do the dirty work with those servants she used to look down upon.
In the Xijiao Sea Villa, An Ruo lazily stretched.
She put on her soft bunny slippers and opened the door.
"Ta - da!"
Yan Kun suddenly set off a firework at the door, scaring her shoulders to shake.
"You scared me!"
"Sorry, sorry. Today is the third young lady's special day."
An Ruo was confused. "Special day?"
"Have breakfast first. I'll tell you later."
Yan Kun held her little hand and gently led her downstairs.
There was no one in the dining room except the familiar servants.
An Ruo bit into the fried egg and asked, "Where are sister and Sister Xue?"
"They left early. They had something to deal with."
"Okay..." She pouted, obviously disappointed.
When they got to the kindergarten, something even stranger happened.
Neither the teacher nor the other children were there. The entrance and the classroom were empty.
An Ruo was a bit scared and instinctively tightened her grip on Yan Kun's hand.
"Brother, I'm a bit scared."
He noticed the crowd behind the teaching door and smiled. He squatted down.
"Happy birthday, third young lady."
Before she could say anything, a bunch of people suddenly popped up behind her, including Xue Xiaoqi, her favorite teacher, and the children.
Shen Ximan was standing in the middle, slowly walking over with the birthday cake.
