Jiang Nanshu didn’t think that she had anything to talk about with Xu Xingwan.
But out of consideration for their past friendship, she still gave her face: “What do you want to talk to me about?”
Xu Xingwan seemed a little embarrassed to speak. After all, Jiang Nanshu had never even asked Bo Yan for help, so it would be a bit of a shock for her to suddenly ask Jiang Nanshu for help.
If things went smoothly, she and Jiang Nanshu should be friends.
She let out a soft breath, lowered her eyes, and slowly said, “I want CEO Lu to be lenient and let the Bo family off the hook. Bo Yan is really tired. He hasn’t done anything wrong, so why is his company being suppressed…”
She didn’t understand. Bo Yan was just doing business honestly, yet he could suffer such an undeserved disaster.
Jiang Nanshu glanced at Xu Xingwan.
Did she even understand Bo Yan’s ambition?
The business world is like a battlefield; only the victor takes all.
If Lu Qingyan were to lose today, would anyone let him off the hook?
Based on Jiang Nanshu’s businessman’s intuition, it wouldn’t happen.
They would relentlessly pursue their prey until it dies, then devour it.
Jiang Nanshu chuckled lightly: “Rather than letting Bo Yan suffer defeat after defeat in this business war, you should advise him to be less ambitious and settle down somewhere peacefully. This way, he might have a way to survive. He is too ambitious and will ruthlessly kill anyone he finds. He will not show any mercy. Why should you plead for him? If he really loves you, he will marry you instead of having a business marriage with a socialite from a wealthy family and keeping you as a mistress outside.”
Yes.
Bo Yan got married.
But the bride wasn’t Xu Xingwan; it was someone else.
She was imprisoned by Bo Yan’s side as a mistress, a woman who couldn’t be seen in public.
Jiang Nanshu didn’t know whether Bo Yan had held Xu Xingwan back, or whether she simply didn’t want to leave, but that didn’t matter.
Jiang Nanshu had always been someone who set aside her desire to help others and respected their fates.
Xu Xingwan’s face paled slightly. Her identity was something that she found difficult to talk about.
Bo Yan loved her.
However, this love was conditional and had its limitations, preventing her from truly enjoying it.
The socialite he married was already pregnant.
And she didn’t want to bear his child.
The child would be born illegitimate. She didn’t want her child to be stigmatized in the future.
“I’m sorry, I can’t help you.”
Jiang Nanshu left after she finished speaking.
Xu Xingwan stood there, looking lost and dejected.
Suddenly, she felt…Bo Yan was so dirty.
She didn’t want to be trapped by his side any longer.
…
On the way back, Jiang Nanshu asked Lu Qingyan which company he had chosen as a partner.
Lu Qingyan glanced at her casually: “Are you curious?”
Jiang Nanshu mumbled, “A little. The most capable one among them is Bo Yan. I want to see how you choose.”
Lu Qingyan narrowed his eyes slightly before saying, “It’s neither him nor Mr. Wu. We can cooperate with the remaining two companies.”
Lu Qingyan had gone to great lengths to bring down several families, so how could he possibly provide significant assistance to Bo Group and help them revive?
In business, one cannot be soft-hearted.
Jiang Nanshu went back to the guest room to sleep that night, locking the door.
Lu Qingyan stood at the door, clutching a pillow: “What do you mean by locking the door?”
Jiang Nanshu’s voice came through the door: “You still haven’t told me who you’ve locked up, so we can’t call it a reconciliation.”
Lu Qingyan: “…”
They’d been on good terms all day, and they weren’t back together?
Lu Qingyan’s gaze was deep and unfathomable. After a moment, he chuckled softly, “Then, in your heart, who do you think is locked up inside?”
Jiang Nanshu was sitting on the bed scrolling through videos on her phone. Hearing this, her fingers involuntarily tightened their grip on the phone.
If this person died…
Lu Qingyan would be burdened with a murder charge.
