The sudden surge of emotions almost made Tian Danni burst into tears on the spot.
She lowered her head, using her bangs to conceal the emotions on her face.
The warmth in her heart was as self - less as the sun caressing a flower.
She remembered that day in the hospital when Su Minghan said she was cunning.
Now that she thought about it carefully, the cunning one was clearly him.
Invisibly, inadvertently, he was exuding his unique charm all the time, making Tian Danni worry about losing him and struggle repeatedly.
Shen Ximan was sitting in the office, sipping milk - coffee leisurely.
The bitter taste made it hard for her to enjoy, and she frowned.
"Why is it so bitter?"
Xue Xiaoqi was taken aback. "I've already added a cup of milk. Do you want me to ask A Kun to make you something else right now?"
She waved her hand. "Forget it. Is everyone here?"
"Sue, the boss of Su's Entertainment, and Teacher Tian are already here. The second young master of the Bo family just arrived too. As for those who haven't come yet..."
She flipped through the message group on the tablet in her hand. "It's just the eldest young master of the Bo family and Shen Shiyu."
Shen Ximan smiled. "They'll be here soon."
The scene of everyone gathering had played out countless times in her mind. Finally, today it wasn't just a figment of her imagination.
She stood at the peak, looking down on these insignificant people.
She enjoyed it and felt extremely exhilarated.
"Ask A Kun to pour me a cocktail."
Xue Xiaoqi was quite shocked. "Alcohol? Sister Ximan, today is an important occasion. How can you drink?"
"Just one glass. A little drink can lift the spirit. I'm in a good mood today."
Shen Ximan's expression was quite relaxed.
This kind of pure pleasure without any burden was an expression she'd never seen on her before. It even seemed a bit strange.
"Okay... I'll go right away."
After leaving the office, Xue Xiaoqi was preoccupied.
She almost missed a step when going downstairs. Fortunately, Qian Li quickly grabbed her waist, or she would have definitely fallen!
"Are you okay?"
Her face turned as red as a monkey's bottom. She blinked at him nervously. "I-I'm fine. Thank you..."
"Since you're okay, how long do you plan to stay in this position?"
There was a hint of helplessness in his words.
Xue Xiaoqi immediately stood up, pursing her lips uneasily.
She'd made a fool of herself!
"Excuse me, is President Wen in the office upstairs?" Qian Li asked.
"Yes, she is."
He looked at her in surprise as she suddenly became shy.
Could it be that she was shy because he'd grabbed her waist just now?
But right now he didn't have time to care about her emotions. He had to inform President Bo of what he'd been told as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time and energy.
"Thank you."
Qian Li left this sentence and rushed upstairs.
Xue Xiaoqi stood there for a while before calming down her pounding heart.
"What's wrong with me..."
She touched her burning face and slowly walked downstairs.
Ten minutes later.
Qian Li walked to the VIP reception area with the venue layout chart.
"Second Young Master, here's the chart you asked for."
Bo Jingyu took it and glanced at it briefly. "Where is she?"
"She's... drinking in the office."
The surprise in his eyes was obvious. "Drinking? Today?"
"Yes. When I just came out, I saw President Xue carrying a cocktail upstairs. I didn't dare to ask more and came down."
Bo Jingyu was increasingly unable to figure out Shen Ximan's mind.
Since she became the president of A Hairui, he couldn't guess her character, the way she conducted herself, or her inner thoughts at all.
On the surface, she always smiled, but there was always a feeling that she could see through people.
He didn't know if it was just his imagination.
But this sense of estrangement made Bo Jingyu quite uncomfortable.
"Second Young Master? Second Young Master?"
Qian Li called him several times.
"What's up?"
"Are you sure you don't want Ruo Chi to come and guard? I'm used to taking care of the old master. His temper might not be good at managing his subordinates."
Bo Jingyu glanced at his watch. Just as he was about to ask when Bo Siming would arrive, he heard an argument at the company entrance.
"Can you stop following me?" Shen Shiyu rolled her eyes.
"You haven't answered my question yet. Where did you get this dress? Who have you been with these days? Who are you rolling your eyes at!"
Bo Siming growled at her in a low voice, furious.
"I've said that you'll regret it! You just don't believe me."
She proudly raised her chin, looking extremely arrogant and complacent.
Bo Jingyu watched them bickering with a cold face. The worries that had welled up in his heart instantly vanished.
He said to Qian Li beside him, "No need. The new product launch will probably end in less than two hours. Ask Ruo Chi to send more people. They must not leave the old master's side for a single step."
"Okay, Second Young Master. I'll go and arrange it right away."
After Qian Li left, Shen Shiyu spotted Bo Jingyu and walked over.
She lifted her skirt and walked over under everyone's surprised and astonished gazes.
"Second Young Master, long time no see."
Bo Jingyu looked at the black - and - gray slit dress on her. His face involuntarily darkened, and his mood became worse and worse.
This dress was the one Shen Ximan had worn at A Hairui's press conference. It was also on that day that his grandfather was injured and became a vegetable.
This dress was like a knife stabbing into his heart.
"See if he even cares about you? You're being self - indulgent!"
Bo Siming followed up and sneered from behind.
"It's none of your business! How many times do I have to tell you to stop following me!"
Shen Shiyu retorted angrily.
Not getting any advantage from her, he shifted his target.
"My dear brother, take a look at Shiyu's dress. Doesn't it look a bit familiar? Hmm... I also think it's familiar, but I just can't remember where I've seen it. Where was it?"
Bo Siming said this on purpose, aiming to bait him.
"Isn't it the one Shen Ximan wore at A Hairui's cooperation meeting? Oh, this dress was just wasted on her. I look a thousand times better in it than she did."
Shen Shiyu, that fool, immediately fell into the trap. She couldn't stand the slightest provocation.
"Are you annoying?" Bo Jingyu said coldly.
"Are we very familiar?"
She froze awkwardly on the spot. "Ah? You?"
Bo Siming then jumped out to play the good guy. He put his arm around her shoulder and said with a sneer, "Hey, can't you see that my dear brother's face is darker than the bottom of a pot? Let's not provoke him. Let's go quickly."
"No, I haven't even toasted him yet!"
Shen Shiyu struggled and shouted as she was being pulled away.
Everyone present was whispering to each other.
Those who originally planned to talk to Bo Jingyu didn't dare to step forward.
Everyone in Yancheng knew that the Shen family was cursed.
One Shen Ximan had sent the old master of the Bo family to the hospital as a vegetable, and then she had seemingly disappeared.
The remaining three members of the Shen family were suspected of illegal detention, but were bailed out by the infatuated eldest young master at a huge cost.
