Chapter 85 Bo Jinzhou, Your Love Is So Cheap

The man was wearing a black leather overcoat, work pants, and leather boots with the pant legs tucked into them. He had his legs crossed, his hand on his forehead, and his posture was arrogant and unconventional. His handsome face had the air of a thug.

Jiang Yimian was taken aback. She thought the other party would try to hide it, but she didn't expect them to appear so openly.

Jiang Yimian: "Mr. Huo?"

"Just call him Boss Huo."

His voice was hoarse and arrogant, with a thick Hong Kong accent.

"Ms. Jiang, please forgive any shortcomings in our first collaboration."

Even so, there was no hint of embarrassment about being late in his tone.

Jiang Yimian didn't mind at all, "Brother Huo, you're too kind."

Huo Yun looked at the slender, tall figure on the stage, his eyes filled with a deeper mockery. "I like to be straightforward. Just say what you want."

Jiang Yimian looked at the stage in front of her. Their voices were not loud, only loud enough for the two of them to hear clearly.

"Boss Huo, the first thing I need you to do is gather some information and investigate someone. Lu Wenchang has a lot of illegal transactions in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is extremely far from Beijing, and I don't have any resources there. With your connections in Hong Kong..."

Huo Yun interrupted, "Okay."

Jiang Yimian didn't expect him to be so agreeable. She pursed her lips and continued, "The second one is to help me find someone. He's in Italy, named Meng Mingyan. He's an internationally renowned jewelry designer. Although he's in Italy, I can't contact him. I suspect he's probably being imprisoned."

Lu Wenchang constantly suppressed and cut off all the resources around her, because he was afraid that she would accumulate strength to fight back. She was all alone in Yanjing and had her wings clipped, unable to escape.

Huo Yun changed his posture, but instead of crossing his legs, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, but... what is the relationship between this Mr. Meng and Miss Jiang?"

Jiang Yimian didn't hide anything. Since they had reached a cooperation agreement, there was no point in hiding it. "He is my senior brother and my mother's favorite disciple."

Huo Yun raised an eyebrow knowingly, "I thought it was an old flame."

Jiang Yimian twitched her lips speechlessly, "I didn't expect Boss Huo to be so gossipy."

Huo Yun was utterly shameless. "Miss Jiang is too kind."

Jiang Yimian: "..."

"Third, I need people around you to protect me secretly and to obey my orders."

Huo Yun then glanced at her. The woman was extremely beautiful, but she was too cold. "As far as I know, Miss Jiang is married to Bo Jinzhou. Mr. Bo has plenty of men. Why don't you ask your husband for some?"

Jiang Yimian's bright, cold eyes flashed with a sharp edge: "Boss Huo, this is my business."

Huo Yun chuckled and slightly raised his chin. "Miss Jiang, my only bottom line in cooperation is honesty. I hope you will tell me the truth."

Jiang Yimian frowned. She had originally thought that Boss Huo was a straightforward person, but she didn't expect him to like to pry into other people's privacy so much.

She said helplessly, "Since we're allies, I won't hide it from you."

"I don't trust him."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yun's expression became meaningful. In the dim light, his features were sharp and distinct, and he wore a roguish smile, which seemed particularly interesting.

"Oh, okay then. Here are eight people for you."

Huo Yun popped a lollipop into his mouth. "They will protect you in secret. Just call out when you need them."

Huo Yun then gave a number, saying, "Call this number if you need anything."

Jiang Yimian noted it down. She didn't forget about the payment. For the sake of future cooperation, she asked, "Boss Huo, what do you want? I want to make it clear that I can only pay you after the deal is done."

Huo Yun chewed the lollipop, staring at the woman on the stage, and said lazily, "No rush, you can afford my payment."

Jiang Yimian frowned, thought for a moment, and then the man said, "Don't worry, she is, after all, the granddaughter of the old man's best friend. I won't cheat you. After it's done, you'll have everything, and with Bo Jinzhou backing you up, are you afraid I'll extort you? Besides, I'm a man of my word and the most reasonable person."

"Now, all you need to do is agree to me."

Jiang Yimian asked, puzzled, "Agree to what?"

A casual smile played in the man's dark eyes. "I'll definitely be able to give you what you want then."

Jiang Yimian felt that whether he wanted shares in the Jiang family, the jewelry business in mainland China, or a cooperation with the Jiang family, none of them would be difficult for her to agree to.

There are gains and losses; paying a price is necessary.

"good."

Huo Yun didn't watch the ballet performance to the end. After the last performance, Tan Yusu wanted to have dinner with everyone and invited Jiang Yimian to join them.

Jiang Yimian refused; she had other things to do.

As I exited the theater and descended the steps, my high heels suddenly stopped. Below me, a tall, imposing figure leaned against the car, exuding an air of aloofness and nobility.

The man took off his black leather gloves, straightened up, and looked at her.

Jiang Yimian's mind flashed back to Lu Yiwan's words, and her eyes turned cold.

Noticing that something was wrong with her, Bo Jinzhou took her hand and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yimian calmly withdrew her hand and looked out the car window.

Her ignoring me means something must have happened.

Upon arriving at Yunduan, Jiang Yimian got out of the car and walked straight inside.

Bo Jinzhou followed them. The maids were preparing dinner, and seeing that the husband and wife were not in a good condition, they all lowered their heads and went about their own business.

The first thing Jiang Yimian did upon entering the house was to pack her things.

Bo Jinzhou grabbed her wrist. "What happened?"

Jiang Yimian shoved him away, "Get out."

From the moment the two entered the door, Wang Ma sensed something was wrong with them. Her face was full of worry, and she wanted to go upstairs but didn't dare to disturb them.

There was no sound coming from the second floor, and Wang Ma comforted herself that it was probably just the couple having a little argument.

Xiao Xu walked over and said, "Wang Ma, shall we go and call the master and mistress for dinner now?"

Wang Ma looked at her, her gaze deepening. "Xiao Xu, the master and mistress may have had a fight. Go upstairs and wait."

"If there's nothing else, call your husband and wife to dinner. If they're having a fight, then come downstairs."

Xiao Xu nodded, "Okay."

Xiao Xu quickened his pace. Wang Ma looked at Xiao Xu's back, shook her head, and turned to go into the kitchen.

Xiao Xu stood outside the master bedroom door, eavesdropping carefully, but there was no sound inside.

She frowned in surprise. She didn't dare get too close to the door, as the corridors of the villa were monitored by surveillance cameras.

She stood to the side, her ears practically perked up.

Until a piercing slam of glass broke the silence.

"So you really helped her?"

Jiang Yimian's voice was exceptionally loud, filled with a piercing sorrow, making Xiao Xu's heart leap into his throat.

But his ears were not idle; he did not follow Wang Ma's instructions at all.

"Jiang Yimian, let me explain."

"What's there to explain? I said so much in the media to make sure Lu Yiwan had no chance of making a comeback, but what did you do? You went to help her, and you even said you had no feelings for her whatsoever."

“Bo Jinzhou, your love is so cheap, it disgusts me.”

Jiang Yimian spoke each word with resentment in her eyes as she stared at the man before her.

A crack appeared on Bo Jinzhou's usually stern face. "And what about you?"

"What's the meaning of sending cufflinks to Lin Zhiren?"
