Chapter 58 Just Friends

58

Ouyang Lingran?

Jiang Siyu instantly recalled what An Ning had said about how President Ouyang of the Ke family had been scolded to tears by Bo Siye.

So, this person in front of me is President Ouyang?

I heard that because she offended Bo Siye, Ouyang Lingran was removed from her position as president of Ke's Group, and Ouyang Ming naturally took her place.

Currently, Ouyang Lingran is the vice president.

Logically speaking, Ouyang Lingran shouldn't want to see Bo Siye.

But she actually took the initiative to come over and greet them... As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face. Although Jiang Siyu didn't know Ouyang Lingran's purpose, she smiled and shook her hand.

"Hello, Guan Jing, this is Jiang Siyu."

"I know you, you're very capable." After taking office, Jiang Siyu signed several projects for Guanjing that had good prospects and low risks.

Many people were envious, but Jiang Siyu signed the contract specifically for Guan Jing.

"Thank you," Jiang Siyu replied politely, withdrawing her hand. Ouyang Lingran followed suit, lowering her hand slightly, and then asked Jiang Siyu:

"Would you like me to show you around tonight's banquet guests?"

Jiang Siyu: "..."

She felt that Ouyang Lingran was being a little too enthusiastic towards her.

Just as she was about to refuse Ouyang Lingran, Bo Siye directly took Jiang Siyu's hand:

"I'm sorry, I can't live without my girlfriend. If she needs anything, I'll be there for her and won't bother anyone else."

Ouyang Lingran: "..."

Bo Siye is definitely taking this opportunity to assert his sovereignty.

Those who were eavesdropping on their conversation looked at Jiang Siyu in surprise, as Bo Siyu's words unexpectedly implied that he placed her in a high position.

Jiang Siyu seemed oblivious to these gazes. She gave Ouyang Lingran a polite smile, refusing their attention.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Ouyang, but I would like to be with my boyfriend."

The two of them were singing and dancing back and forth, and the two siblings from the Ouyang family were left feeling utterly envious.

After a long pause, Ouyang Lingran managed a weak smile: "President Bo, you really are lucky."

Jiang Siyu, with her cold personality, actually protected him in public.

This is the second person after Ouyang Ming to say that Bo Siye has a good life. What's amazing is that the two are siblings.

I don't know where this tacit understanding came from.

Bo Siye glanced at Ouyang Lingran, who was clearly envious and jealous, then put his arm around Jiang Siyu's shoulder and walked in another direction.

Ouyang Lingran did indeed confess her feelings to Bo Siye during a work opportunity.

But for some reason, when she came close today, Bo Siye had a feeling that Ouyang Lingran hadn't come for him.

Therefore, Bo Siye's vigilance level was immediately set to the maximum.

However, before he could lead Jiang Siyu to their seat, a sudden voice stopped them in their tracks.

"Siyu?"

Upon hearing the broken Chinese, Jiang Siyu quickly looked at the man walking towards them and asked in surprise, "Reedmont, what are you doing here?"

Ridmond was a trusted collaborator of Frederick, and Jiang Siyu had met him several times and was fairly familiar with him.

“It’s for work, of course,” Reedmond said, his gaze sweeping over Jiang Siyu with admiration.

“You are even more dazzling than when you were in France. No wonder Frederick was so sad but still wanted to let you go back to China.”

After Jiang Siyu left, Frederick took him out for drinks several times, expressing his reluctance to part with this oriental beauty.

“This is my hometown, and only here can I truly live my life to the fullest.” After saying this, Jiang Siyu introduced Bo Siye to Ridmond.

She took Bo Siye's hand and said, "This is Bo Siye, my boyfriend."

"My God!" Reedmond stared in shock at the two holding hands, his gray-blue eyes filled with astonishment.

"You don't want Frederick anymore? He was heartbroken over your departure for a long time, and said that no one would ever be his muse again."

Jiang Siyu: "..."

Bo Siye, standing beside him, trembled upon hearing this, his gaze toward Ridmund as if shrouded in an impenetrable fog.

Danger lurks everywhere.

“Frederic and I are just friends,” Jiang Siyu explained, but Redmond didn’t believe her at all.

He ignored Bo Siye's terrifying gaze and tried his best to stand up for his good friend.

“How could you two just be friends? When you were in the hospital and couldn’t go on living, Frederick was so sad that he almost died with you.”

"Rydmond!"

When Jiang Siyu realized what Ridmond was about to say, she quickly tried to stop him, but Ridmond, despite his heavy accent, spoke very quickly and didn't give Jiang Siyu a chance to stop him.

Seeing the panic in Jiang Siyu's eyes, and then looking at the man beside her whose aura had become increasingly gloomy and terrifying, Reedmont belatedly realized the problem.

He frowned: "This...it can't be the one who told you they were breaking up and then disappeared in France, hurting you..."

"Alright, Ridmund." Jiang Siyu quickly interrupted Ridmund. She had witnessed Ridmund's emotional intelligence before, but she was never the one who got hurt, so Jiang Siyu's impression of Ridmund was fairly good.

Now... she was starting to think about sewing up Reedmond's lousy mouth.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Siyu changed the subject, saying, "How long are you going to stay in China this time? If you have enough time, could I show you some hospitality?"

“It’s a pity I have to return to F country tomorrow,” Ridmond sighed regretfully. “However, once you and Frederick are together, we’ll have many more opportunities to meet.”

"..." Is this matter unavoidable?

Jiang Siyu felt a headache coming on, especially since the increasingly oppressive atmosphere emanating from the person next to her made her unsure of how to comfort them.

Fortunately, Ridmond still needed to communicate with his business partners on this trip, so he left after chatting with Jiang Siyu for a few minutes.

Without his interference, the already chilly atmosphere became even more unbearable.

Jiang Siyu glanced at Bo Siye, whose expression seemed unchanged, and after thinking for a moment, she explained:

"Frederick and I are just friends."

Although the media reported that she was Frederick's girlfriend and muse, both of them knew they were just friends.

Those were just media reports based on hearsay.

“Hmm.” Bo Siye unconditionally believed everything Jiang Siyu said; he was thinking about something else now.

Jiang Siyu was led to the second floor, to a secluded spot.

Ouyang Ming consciously stopped following, and the two gradually slowed down.

The spacious corridor on the second floor.

The crystal chandelier overhead made Jiang Siyu's already fair skin appear even more radiant and lustrous, like a pearl extracted from a seashell.

He turned around and stared into her beautiful eyes. The piano music downstairs was melodious and pleasant, but Bo Siye could only hear his own chaotic and suffocating heartbeat.

Seeing the doubt and unease in Jiang Siyu's eyes, Bo Siye remained silent for a long time.

It felt like there was a wad of damp cotton stuffed in my throat; after several attempts, I finally managed to utter the words:

"What do you mean, 'You couldn't go on living and ended up in the hospital'?"
