At that untimely moment, Bo Yan's phone rang. He checked the caller ID to find it was from Zhuang Xiaowei.Rubbing his forehead, he found the phone call irritating. He was just about to answer the call when it suddenly went silent.He was wondering if Zhuang Xiaowei had dialed his number by mistake when he received a message. "Bo Yan, you ungrateful man. Why didn't you pick up? I'm really mad!"Bo Yan was baffled for a while before recalling that after he drank himself down at the engagement party, Zhuang Xiaowei was the one who sent him back while he was only half-conscious.Bo Yan wasn't the ungrateful or treacherous type. After taking a deep breath, he called her back.The call went through and she picked it up almost immediately. Frowning, Bo Yan tried to sound as friendly as possible."Hey, Young Master Bo, I see that you don't want to be accused of being ungrateful. You sure called me back quickly enough."Zhuang Xiaowei's cloying voice came from the other end so vividly t
"Sure. I wasn't hungry last time, but I'm ready to have some lunch today."Zhuang Xiaowei didn't press further, but only patted Bo Yan's shoulder with a coquettish smile and said gently, "Young Master Bo, I like your honesty."Bo Yan frowned and said nothing in reply.They went to the same French restaurant as before, and Zhuang Xiaowei led him to the same table at the window. From there, she could see everything that was going on outside.After ordering their food, Bo Yan cut to the chase. He looked into Zhuang Xiaowei's eyes and said directly, "Miss Zhuang, can you tell me more about what you said earlier over the phone?""About what? You mean the project?" Picking up her glass, Zhuang Xiaowei took a sip and blinked at Bo Yan.Bo Yan nodded and waited patiently for her answer."Well, there's nothing much to say, really. You know how uptight my brother is, and he never does anyone any favors. However, he has a soft spot, and that's me. He always indulges me, so he'll do anythin
Bo Yan suddenly stiffened and felt dazed. He had even forgotten that Zhuang Xiaowei was still holding onto his arm."This happiness is supposed to be mine, but Lu Mingyu has taken my place!"Shen Zhiwei spotted Bo Yan as well, and also noticed Zhuang Xiaowei who was holding onto his arm. She recalled that she was the fourth daughter of the Zhuang Family from her engagement party.Surprised that she would run into them here, Shen Zhiwei felt her heart race. After being in a state of shock for a few seconds, she had to look away."Are they on a date?" Shen Zhiwei felt a pain in her chest, as if there was a pit forming inside her stomach.Bo Yan pried Zhuang Xiaowei's hands of him as soon as he returned to himself. He was about to explain to Zhuang Xiaowei when Lu Mingyu spoke."What now? Are you missing your ex-husband? I don't want my fiancee to linger over her goddamn ex-husband. Get used to your new identity!" After that, he threw an arm around Shen Zhiwei's waist and pulled her
Bo Yan stood there with a face void of all expressions, as if he was struck by lightning. He didn't move when Lu Mingyu brushed past him with something of a swagger.Shen Zhiwei looked sympathetically at Bo Yan. Tears had welled up in her eyes, but she couldn't utter a word. She could only take Duoduo back and follow Lu Mingyu into the restaurant.Bo Yan was yet to recover from the shock that Lu Mingyu's words gave him, so he continues to stand there in a trance-like state. Zhuang Xiaowei tugged his sleeve and asked tentatively, "Young Master Bo, are you alright? Lu Mingyu is such a bastard, taking your wife and daughter away like that. I mean it. He's so...""Miss Zhuang, mind your own business and I'll mind mine!" After saying those words, Bo Yan ignored the angry Miss Zhuang and swiftly left.Zhuang Xiaowei ran out after him, shouting, "Bo Yan, wait for me!"Bo Yan didn't even look back. He started the car and sped off.The Mercedes-Maybach sped recklessly through the streets,
One of their buddies was Wang Dongjun, an outstanding investor. All of his investments had turned out to be profitable, and many financial tycoon billionaires wanted him to manage their money in hopes of expanding their wealth.He was so famous in investment circles that everyone wanted to hire him. However, he had turned most of them away and only handled portfolios worth a billion or above.The fourth member of the group was Gao Yi, the head of the customs office. He was exceptionally vigorous in his work, and was known to be an upright and outspoken man. Smugglers would tremble with fear upon hearing his name. He had risen to the head of the customs office at a young age and had solved several major cases. Right after he assumed office, he arrested the leader of an international smuggling ring, destroying a powerful gang that had existed for years.Zhuang Shengnan was the youngest man to become a division commander in his military region. His work style was similar to that of Gao
Bo Yan's friends felt as if they had just heard the most complicated and eccentric story. They couldn't believe that they had been kept in the dark while all these things were happening.Picking up his glass, Bo Yan clinked it with theirs and said quietly, "I'm all by myself now. My wife has become Lu Mingyu's fiancee overnight, and before I know it, my daughter is going to call him dad. What have I ever done to deserve this?"The other three exchanged looks but didn't know what to say to comfort him. Such things simply weren't easy to get through.Putting down his glass, Zhuang Shengnan said earnestly, "Are there some old grudges between you and Lu Mingyu? Because he seems to be taking revenge on you. I heard from my superiors that your project in Bright Joy Bay had also been called off because of something Lu Mingyu did.""Speaking of that, I need to thank you for that. I heard from your fourth sister that the project was only reopened because of your intervention. Thank you so m
Bo Yan felt much better after seeing his buddies, telling himself that he couldn't let the pain win. "I need to fight back! I have to win her back!"The project of Bright Joy Bay was under intense preparation, so Bo Yan became too busy to think about his personal feelings. Everything was ready, and he was just waiting for the groundbreaking ceremony.The project was a large-scale recuperation and holiday resort. Not only did it include a lot of villas, it was also fully-equipped with necessary facilities as well. The project was so advanced and well-considered that it was one of the best resorts in the country. The response to the project's promotional activities was overwhelmingly positive and they were already receiving reservations!Bo Yan had invested all he had into this project, so he had to succeed!The launch day of Bright Joy Bay was set on a Saturday, which was also his wedding anniversary with Shen Zhiwei. Bo Yan wanted that date carved into the cornerstone, so that it c
"Ah Yan is better at business than any one of us, so since he's deciding on this, he must have his own good reasons for it. Don't worry." Zhuang Shengnan rested his hand on Wang Dongjun's shoulder, and they headed off to look for Bo Yan together.When the launch meeting officially began, Bo Yan briefly introduced the plans and vision of the project. He was followed by Mayor Huang and the Party Secretary relaying their hopes and blessings for the project.Lastly, the team in charge of the project made promises regarding their work and efforts in the future.It was about time for the groundbreaking ceremony. The first scoops of dirt had to be dug up by the mayor and secretary. The land belonged to them, so they obviously had to go first.It was almost time. Everyone was ready, and shovels were already given to the important guests. All that was left to do was wait for the time to reach 10:18 a.m. Bo Yan and the mayor prepared to lead the public to dig the first hole.All of a sudden
At this time, Qi Mubai, who was standing at the door, also came in slowly. He looked at Bo Yan and said, "Young Master Bo, I'm sorry. I once doubted your love for her and thought you couldn't give her happiness. It's not until now that I know that her happiness can only be you!"Everyone in the ward looked at him. Qi Mubai laughed at himself and continued, "For so many years, I can't convince myself and feel that I still have a chance to win a little heart. Therefore, when Shanshan is headstrong, my selfishness has also made me waver. I did something I shouldn't have done with her. Sorry, I brought unnecessary harm to you. I apologize sincerely!Seeing your love for each other, I can leave or start my new life at ease!"After Qi Mubai finished speaking, he reached out hands to Shen Zhiwei and made a posture of hugging. Shen Zhiwei looked at Qi Mubai and then at Bo Yan. Bo Yan nodded to her and Weiwei hugged Qi Mubai with tears in her eyes."Thank you, Senior. How could I, Shen Zhiw
Hu Jingshan's face turned red and pale. She was trembling with anger, but she couldn't say a word to refute Wang Dongjun.Shen Zhiwei frowned and looked at Wang Dongjun. She asked in confusion, "What do you mean, Dongjun? Is she not injured at all?"Wang Dongjun glanced at Hu Jingshan and deliberately said with his eyes fixed, "Miss Hu, give me a little explanation!"Hu Jingshan opened her mouth and faltered, but in the end, she turned into shouting, "Bastard, what are you doing? You don't know anything! Mind your own business, get lost!""I don't know. I saw you and Qi Mubai meeting in the cafe. You acted freely and didn't seem to be hurt at all!"Hearing this, Shen Zhiwei looked at Hu Jingshan in shock and shouted, "Hu Jingshan, tell me clearly. You didn't mean to frame me, and you pretended to be injured, did you? But how did you get the diagnosis from the hospital?"Shen Zhiwei suddenly had another question. "It's impossible for Hu Jingshan to buy a doctor soon!"Hu Jingshan
Qi Mubai sighed and said, "Our Senior Brother and Sister are so miserable, but our beloved ones don't love themselves at all. It's really sad!""Senior, we need to work hard for our own happiness. We need to strive for some happiness. I hope you can also strive for your happiness. Don't let her become someone else's happiness!"Qi Mubai looked at Hu Jingshan and said after a long time, "I am different from you. You can do whatever you want, but I can't. I love her and don't want to hurt her. If she is really happy, I am willing to watch her be happy. And you only want to be happy. In fact, sometimes it is not happiness to get Shanshan, but to let her go!"Qi Mubai didn't know if he was persuading Hu Jingshan or himself. Anyway, what he said was more and more reasonable.Qi Mubai opened the door and turned back to ask Hu Jingshan, "If you don't leave, aren't you afraid that Shen Zhiwei will know about our relationship?""It's you who's afraid, I'm not afraid!" Hu Jingshan said as s
Shen Zhiwei looked at Hu Jingshan, who was in the wheelchair. She tried to hold back the urge to speak several times, but she had to calm down and not provoke this crazy woman. Maybe she would do some other crazy things. Moreover, the situation of Bo Yan had not come to an end, so she had no mood to argue with her.Qi Mubai looked at Shen Zhiwei and said softly, "Don't be afraid. You still have me. It's okay!" As he said this, he reached out and tried to hold Shen Zhiwei, but Shen Zhiwei deftly leaned to one side and avoided him. Qi Mubai's hand stopped in the air awkwardly, and he could only pull back the corner of his mouth with a smile.Shen Zhiwei nodded and said to Qi Mubai, "Thank you, Senior Lu. Then I'll go out to watch Bo Yan." After that, she went straight out, ignoring Qi Mubai, whose face gradually turned ugly, and Hu Jingshan, whose face was full of resentment.Shen Zhiwei walked out of the office. Qi Mubai immediately closed the door before she could go far. He turned
His words were full of sarcasm. "Miss Hu, Miss Shen is my boss's wife. It's my duty to protect her. You tell me, should I protect her? As for what you said, she is better than you. You know yourself well. Everyone in the world knows that Miss Shen is beautiful and kind. Unlike some women, her face looks good, but her viper heart is disgusting. Am I right?"Wang Wei's words provoked Hu Jingshan. She bit her wheelchair and walked toward Wang Wei. Wang Wei shouted, "Ugly woman, don't think that you'll have to spend the rest of your life taking advantage of other people's mistakes. President Bo owes your family a lot. He should have returned it. If you continue to do this, you'll be bullying others!"Shen Zhiwei had never known that there were other possibilities between them. Hearing Wang Wei's words, Shen Zhiwei stared at Hu Jingshan suspiciously. However, Hu Jingshan and Wang Wei's eyes were red with anxiety, and they had no time to care about Shen Zhiwei's reaction."Pay it back? It
He just couldn't accept it! How could he accept it!The hospital had already prepared for Bo Yan. Qi Mubai had been escorting the party into the emergency room. Shen Zhiwei stumbled behind him, not knowing what to say.After the door closed, Shen Zhiwei's spirits were in turmoil. She had thought that she would be able to solve the problem between them without any worries. She had told herself that she would not feel pain once she felt pain. But why was she so nervous and heartbroken when she saw him faint from the injury?It turned out that he had been rooted in her blood and could not be pulled out so easily. Shen Zhiwei sat on the ground in low spirits, and the cold floor reminded her that the man was still in the rescue.Time passed by, and the door had been closed. Shen Zhiwei had been in a panic, as if she had a bad feeling. She called Wang Wei and said, "Assistant Wang, something happened to Yan!" After that, her tears blurred her eyes.Wang Wei was so frightened that he hun
Through Shen Zhiwei, Bo Yan saw Qi Mubai behind her. Qi Mubai raised his hand to support his glasses on the bridge of his nose. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile. However, his mocking smile was deeply engraved in the bottom of Bo Yan, which made his heart hurt.He felt cold all over and clenched his knuckles. If possible, what he wanted to do most now was to go up and break this hypocritical bastard.Shen Zhiwei finally looked away from Duoduo and saw Bo Yan at the door. She was stunned, and then she glared at him with resentment and was about to close the door.Bo Yan stretched out his hand and held the door. He looked at Shen Zhiwei and said, "Come out. Let's talk for a while. It won't take you too long!"Her words were very sad, as if she had disturbed other people's happiness, but in fact, someone had disturbed his happiness with her!Shen Zhiwei said coldly, "We don't have much to say. Please go back, Young Master Bo!""You're not e
Lu Mingyu frowned slightly and said incredulously, "You promised everything?"Bo Yan looked into the distance absent-mindedly, nodded, and said slowly, "Yes, I agree!""You... What do you want me to say about you?" After that, Lu Mingyu shouted at Bo Yan, "Go, if you don't go, I'm afraid someone will take the lead."Bo Yan was stunned, as if he understood what Lu Mingyu meant. Hurriedly, he held Duoduo and said to Lili, "Get in the car."The car sped to the detention center, but Bo Yan's heart beat faster. It was finally coming out. This matter had come to an end. It would be better to take it step by step in the future!On the way, Lu Mingyu was very quiet and watched Bo Yan from time to time. He knew Hu Jingshan's condition. If Bo Yan really agreed, it meant that after Shen Zhiwei came out, she could not live with Bo Yan. If that was the case, wouldn't it be good for Qi Mubai to take advantage of him?Lu Mingyu sighed and said, "Bo Yan, don't you think it's too coincidental tod
"Dad, I'm sorry. We didn't call you in advance, so you're worried." Duoduo held his father's face with both hands and said guiltily.Seeing that Lili and Duoduo were safe, Lu Mingyu was relieved. But he still asked, "Lili, where did you take Duoduo today? We've searched the surroundings. How come you're nowhere to be found?"Lili looked at Bo Yan and Lu Mingyu with embarrassment and said, "Are we going to Brother Qi's place?""Qi Mubai?""Qi Mubai?"Both Bo Yan and Lu Mingyu asked at the same time, staring at Lili in surprise. Seeing their reactions, Lili couldn't help but nod and said naturally, "Yes, Dr. Qi, Qi Mubai. He has a good relationship with Weiwei. The place where we live is his house."Listening to Lili's words, Bo Yan gnashed his teeth in hatred. "Why did he suddenly let you go there?""I don't know either. He called and said he wanted to see Duoduo, and then he asked us to wait for him at the entrance of an alley. He came to pick us up."Lu Mingyu frowned tightly
