Chapter 222: It Was You Who Failed Her

Yaen Chi deliberately lagged behind, walking alongside Bo Yanching, “Brother Yan, feeling sentimental?”

Bo Yanching gave him a glance and continued walking forward without any particular expression.

They could no longer see the people ahead at the stairway entrance.

Yaen Chi’s voice grew louder as he spoke, “Jiaojiao is pretty loyal, huh?

Even though she’s become so distant from you, she still wholeheartedly saved the Old Lady.

This kind of favor, tsk tsk, I feel like you’re the one who let her down.”

“Yes, I let her down.”

“What?” Yaen Chi thought he had heard wrong, his eyes widening in surprise.

He had just intended to provoke him, and since he wasn’t bold enough, he had spoken more indirectly.

How come Brother Yan wasn’t the least bit annoyed and even went along with his words?

When did the big boss start having such a good temper?

“You say, what kind of relationship do Jiaojiao and Pei Dongshi have?

Can a master and disciple be that close?”

Bo Yanching quickened his pace.

Yaen Chi was quite irritating, “Look at how anxious he is, not even letting go of her hand.

That must be coddling her in the palm of his hand, right?”

Bo Yanching slightly lifted his eyelids, his tone growing colder, “Is the mess fee ready?”

Huh?

Not taking the bait, huh.

“That’s for you to worry about, I’m just here for a free meal.”

The thought crossed his mind that if both legs could truly be healed, Brother Yan would be willing to give up half his fortune without any regrets.

Add to that the three billion paid previously to coax the Medicine God out of retirement.

Tsk!

He’d never heard of anyone in Rongcheng City’s circles offering a betrothal gift that could top that amount.

It’s just unknown how much of that money would actually end up in Nan Jiaojiao’s pocket.

Lunch was served in the restaurant, a glasshouse dining room.

Jiang Yu seemed casual but was actually stern, with a clear distinction of what each room should be used for.

The dishes must have been prepared earlier.

The chicken soup was rich, the meat meltingly tender.

Jiang Yu placed many delicious dishes in front of Nan Jiaojiao, indifferent to guests like Pei Dongshi and Bo Yanching.

If you could eat, you ate; if you couldn’t reach, you’d stretch out your hand.

This favoritism was unquestionable.

After lunch, Nan Jiaojiao exchanged a few words with everyone and then went back to her room to rest.

Jiang Yu had little in common with the younger generation and made an excuse to leave and attend to her herbs.

Yaen Chi had business to discuss and also left.

Only Bo Yanching and Pei Dongshi were left.

“Does Third Master Bo take a nap at noon?” Pei Dongshi asked.

Bo Yanching replied indifferently, “Not often.”

“Great, I don’t usually take naps either.

The view in the back garden is nice.

How about we go there for a cup of tea?”

Bo Yanching recalled the direction Nan Jiaojiao had left in, “Sure.”

The two men walked side by side out to the garden.

They didn’t conversate along the way.

Once seated, it wasn’t until the servants brought the tea and pastries that Pei Dongshi, twirling the tea lid, gently stirred the tea leaves and finally said, “Master Bo knows about the Shen Family’s overseas company shares being bought up in large quantities?”

Bo Yanching’s expression remained calm as he glanced at Pei Dongshi, “Did you do it?”

“Sort of, and sort of not.

I got involved after the fact.”

Pei Dongshi would never have imagined that without making a sound, Nan Jiaojiao had used a team to buy a large amount of shares.

Even the Shen’s elders, whom not even Bo Yanching could budge, were taken down one by one with Nan Jiaojiao’s psychological tactics.

Purchased at the lowest price.

He had long known that Nan Jiaojiao was very smart, even able to control things to this extent on the business field.

It’s a pity she detested his identity as a businessman.

If it wasn’t for the purpose of vexing Shen Shichu, she wouldn’t have gotten involved at all.

The moment she got her hands on the shares, she tossed the hot potato to him.

He had no interest in the company of a jerk, and getting entangled with Shen Shichu in the future would be even more troublesome, but only Bo Yanching was capable of keeping the situation under control.
