To protect Shen Ximan from Bo Siming's covert forces, Bo Jingyu didn't make her true identity public.
"Baby, go and see what Granny Yang has cooked. Your sister hasn't eaten for a whole day. If this goes on, her body will break down." He whispered gently to the child in his arms.
An Ruo nodded obediently. "I'll go right away!"
The living room fell silent, with only the voice of the reporter on the TV.
Bo Jingyu sat down beside Shen Ximan and said calmly, "Tomorrow is the Lanshan Music Festival. Have something to eat later and go to bed early."
She stared at him blankly. "Do you have any news about Bo Siming?"
He shook his head helplessly. "Not yet."
"If you hadn't stopped me that day, I would definitely have caught him!"
Shen Ximan trembled with anger, and her eyes instantly turned red. "You made all my efforts go to waste! It's all your fault!"
Bo Jingyu's heart was stabbed by her sharp words. But even so, he still wanted to protect her. Even if he was hurt a thousand or ten thousand times by her, he would only feel at ease when he saw her safe.
"What if I said I could make Bo Siming show up voluntarily?"
Her temper subsided. "What do you mean?"
He gently stroked her cheek. "Ruo Chi just sent me a message saying that Grandpa has just woken up and is on his way back."
Shen Ximan was both excited and sad.
"Don't be impatient. Listen to me," Bo Jingyu hugged her in his arms. "As long as we spread the news about Grandpa, with his vengeful personality, he will never let it go. The opportunity is tomorrow."
She didn't resist him and said in a muffled voice, "Will it work?"
"After all, I've been tortured by the killers raised by Bo Siming for so many years. I know exactly what he's going to do."
Shen Ximan came to her senses and immediately broke free from his embrace.
"I'll trust you one last time."
Bo Jingyu's knot in his heart instantly melted. "Since you've chosen to trust me, why can't you accept me again?"
She suppressed the surging emotions in her heart. "One thing is one thing. Let's talk about it after this matter is settled."
Shen Ximan got up and left with a heavy expression.
He had no choice but to accept it.
The Lanshan Music Festival was held in the scenic area at the foot of the mountain. The venue was so vast that one couldn't see the end at a glance. Among the invited guests were not only well - known directors, stars, and models but also many leading enterprise leaders.
Su Minghan held a wine glass and toasted every guest present.
"Why are you just coming? You've made me so busy!" He greeted Shen Ximan with a smile and complained in a low voice in front of Bo Jingyu.
"Does my wife not need time to dress up?"
Shen Ximan stared blankly at the man beside her. "What are you talking about!"
"You'll admit it soon." Bo Jingyu smiled wickedly.
"… When will the live - broadcast of the old man start?"
Su Minghan, obviously being fed a mouthful of dog food, jumped to another topic.
He glanced at his watch. "It should be in about half an hour."
"Are you sure Bo Siming will come? I think it's a bit risky."
"Just wait and see."
Shen Ximan also had her doubts at this moment. If she couldn't win this psychological game, it would be extremely difficult to make Bo Siming show up in the future.
"Minghan, could you help me hold my bag? I'm going to take pictures with my sisters."
Xiao Shujing ran over happily in her dress and said deliberately.
"… Oh, okay."
Su Minghan hesitated for a few seconds but still took it.
Watching her posing with Yan Yueyue and Xiao Shuyuan on the other side, the dissatisfaction in his heart became even heavier, and he even felt annoyed.
Just then, the powerful music for the music festival sounded.
On the eye - catching big stage, Tian Danni, wearing a hip - hop outfit, took the stage with several backup dancers. A hot and exciting dance heated up the atmosphere.
Everyone was caught up in the atmosphere and fixed their eyes on the stage.
"This girl always does something showy."
Su Minghan watched her enjoying herself singing and dancing on the stage. Somehow, the corners of his mouth lifted, and his bad mood from before vanished.
"What's there to show off? It's just a petty trick."
Xiao Shujing bit her lower lip angrily and murmured curses.
"Why do you care about her? Isn't it good that you have a good relationship with President Su?"
Yan Yueyue was already drunk, and her whole face was red.
"You have to help me. You have to help me now!"
Xiao Shuyuan went to get a drink. When she came back, she couldn't find the two of them. "Strange... They were just here. Where did they go?"
"That bitch will definitely come down from here later."
Xiao Shujing sneered and pointed at the elevator platform, hatching a bad plan.
"This won't do. If something goes wrong, it could be a matter of life and death."
Yan Yueyue was instantly half - sobered by fear and refused no matter what.
"Are you still my good friend? My sister - in - law?"
The words "sister - in - law" had quite an effect, making her giggle for a while.
"Then, then we agree. We can't go too far."
Xiao Shujing smiled. "Just give her a lesson."
After the two reached an agreement, they quickly tampered with the elevator platform.
At the same time, Tian Danni at the music festival was completely unaware.
She had already made up her mind that this was her last time on stage.
After the music festival, she would bid farewell to the entertainment circle, to Su's Entertainment, and also to Su Minghan, the man she had been longing for.
The Victoria Island Fashion Show would just be a dream for a lifetime.
A dream that could never be realized but would always be yearned for whenever she thought of it.
Tian Danni didn't want to hurt anyone.
She didn't want to betray Su Minghan and defect to A Hairui, nor did she want to betray him and join hands with Su Hao to push Xiao Shujing out of power.
Let all these disputes end after today.
In the noisy environment, it was impossible to have a normal conversation except for the sound of the music.
But Bo Jingyu still keenly noticed that Shen Ximan beside him was about to leave. He quickly put down his wine glass and grabbed her wrist.
She looked at his anxious eyes and sighed helplessly.
Then she took out her phone and typed a line of words:
"I'm going to the restroom."
He took the phone and quickly typed a few words:
"I'll go with you. It's too chaotic outside."
Shen Ximan shook her head and pointed to the restroom a hundred meters away. There were armed policemen and bodyguards guarding it. She signaled him with her eyes to rest assured.
Bo Jingyu couldn't persuade her and had to agree.
It was just a hundred meters, and there shouldn't be much of a problem. But it was precisely this lucky thought that almost made him lose her again.
Shen Ximan had been in the restroom for a while. When she was about to come out, someone had tampered with the doorknob from the outside, and she couldn't turn it open no matter how hard she tried.
"Who's outside? Don't play such a meaningless prank!"
"You forced me to do this."
A cold voice came through the door.
"You're really good. You've been lurking beside me for so long!"
Shen Ximan immediately recognized the voice and fell silent.
