Chapter Twenty-Nine: Deception

Sang Ruo then realized that this clinic belonged to her father.

"I heard you just got out of prison and you're already clamoring to divorce Bo Jinzhou. Now that you have nowhere to go, you're planning to open a clinic to support yourself with your lousy, third-rate medical skills?" Zhong Yating sneered, "With your clumsy medical skills, aren't you afraid of killing someone?"

His voice was soft, but his words were as sharp as arrows, piercing straight to the heart.

In the past, she would have been annoyed, but now she was completely unfazed.

"It's none of your business how good my medical skills are. I never really liked this place anyway. Since it belongs to Miss Zhong, then forget it!" Sang Ruo turned to leave, saying, "You should just rent it to someone else!"

Even if she couldn't find a good place, she certainly wouldn't rent a house from someone close to Liang Yuxin.

It's not that I'm afraid she'll cause trouble, but I don't want to create unnecessary worries.

Most importantly, I feel uncomfortable...

“You’ve already paid a deposit, there’s no reason for you to just cancel it.”

Zhong Yating quickly stepped forward, her eyes filled with a chilling coldness.

He reached out to stop her, not letting her leave.

Just then, a childish voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Mom, aren't you breaking your promise?"

Sang Ruo looked up at the sound and saw Liang Yuxin leading Bo Yukang in through the door.

It seems that Zhong Yating already knew that she was the one who was going to sign the contract, so she specially invited Liang Yuxin to come and watch the show.

Should we bring her son along to humiliate her?

"That's right! Miss Sang, you must set a good example for your child, otherwise Xiaokang might imitate him in the future, which wouldn't be good, would it?"

Liang Yuxin took off her sunglasses, and a half-smile curved her lips.

“If I had known the house belonged to her family, I wouldn’t have come at all.”

Sang Ruo's voice was deep, and her face was completely indifferent.

Zhong Yating glared at her angrily, her voice rising an octave: "What did my house do to offend you? You don't like my house, but I don't like you either!"

"Your house didn't offend me, but you did."

Her tone was cold and indifferent, revealing her true feelings.

“One thing at a time.” Liang Yuxin frowned slightly and looked at her face: “Ms. Sang, what happened back then was a matter between you and me. Ya Ting was just one of the witnesses who attended to testify on my behalf. If you have a grudge, you can come at me. There’s no need to escalate it to the point of terminating the cooperation, is there?”

"It is necessary."

Sang Ruo's expression was very serious as she looked at Liang Yuxin in front of her.

“Mom, it’s been so long, don’t hold it against me anymore, don’t be so petty!” Bo Yukang suddenly interjected, “Didn’t I not hold it against you for framing me last time?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Sang Ruo's gaze fixed on Bo Yukang's face.

This is the child she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy!

Regarding the family dinner incident, it turns out that he had been on Liang Yuxin's side from beginning to end, believing that she was the one who did it.

Children's minds are ultimately very simple.

It must have been someone who exaggerated the story to him, which is why he was so convinced that it was her doing.

Just like when he testified in court on behalf of Liang Yuxin back then.

She still vividly remembers the unwavering attitude of the father and son.

However, he was right about one thing: it's all in the past now...

Her heart had finally died once, but it had long since been reborn.

"I don't want the deposit anymore. You can rent it to whomever you want."

Sang Ruo glanced at Zhong Yating, then turned and headed towards the door.

Fortunately, the deposit wasn't much, only a thousand yuan.

“These past few days, after my dad heard that you were going to sign the contract, he hasn’t contacted anyone else. If he starts looking again now, it will definitely be a waste of time. If you don’t sign, you have to pay me for this month’s salary, plus my dad’s hardship fee and compensation for emotional distress, a total of 30,000 yuan!”

After Zhong Yating finished speaking, she suddenly stopped walking.

She turned and glared at Zhong Yating: "Who taught you to calculate it like that?"

"I don't care!" Zhong Yating immediately resorted to trickery: "I just want you to pay me this much money, or I'll sue you!"

Sang Ruo suddenly sneered: "The contract hasn't even been signed, where are you going to sue me?"

"If you don't give it to me, I have plenty of ways to deal with you."

After hearing her words, Sang Ruo gradually understood.

Perhaps this house was a trap from the very beginning, and this woman never intended to rent it to her.

They've certainly got a clever plan!

Just as Sang Ruo was about to respond, a cold voice beat her to it: "Miss Zhong, you have quite the nerve. How do you plan to deal with her?"

Everyone turned their heads at the sound.

When they saw the man slowly approaching, everyone was stunned.

Sang Ruo's back suddenly stiffened.

What's Bo Jinyan doing here?

If the last time at the orphanage was a coincidence, then this time it shouldn't be a coincidence, right?

Bo Jinyan's arrival not only threw Zhong Yating into a panic, but also made Liang Yuxin, who was watching the show from the sidelines, flustered.

No one knew better than her how high this man's status was in the capital.

You shouldn't mess with him, no matter who you are.

He was clearly on Sang Ruo's side.

“Mr. Bo, my friend was just joking with Ms. Sang. She is a simple-minded person who likes to be straightforward. She may just be trying to force a sale in this way. She didn’t really want to do anything to Ms. Sang.”

Hearing the woman's polite words, Sang Ruo really wanted to roll her eyes at her, but she ultimately held back.

Bo Jinyan curled his lips into a cold smile, then turned his gaze towards Zhong Yating: "Since it's a joke, then let's return the deposit as well!"

Upon hearing this, Sang Ruo couldn't help but want to laugh.

Capital is still capital.

They're incredibly shrewd.

Not only did they not ask her to pay upfront, they also helped her get her deposit back.

"Mr. Bo, you're a businessman too, you must know that if we don't cooperate, the deposit is non-refundable, even though it's not a large amount..."

Before Zhong Yating could finish speaking, the man interrupted her, saying, "Even a fly's leg is still a leg."

"puff--"

Sang Ruo couldn't help but burst out laughing.

When Zhong Yating saw the smile on Sang Ruo's face, she was furious.

But when she met the man's cold gaze again, she finally backed down.

She replied softly, "Alright! Since Mr. Bo has already stepped in, I'll return the thousand yuan to her first!"

Sang Ruo didn't expect that she would actually get her deposit back smoothly.

After they walked side by side to the roadside, she looked up at him and said, "Thank you, Mr. Bo, for helping me this time."

The man's voice was deep: "It was nothing."

Sang Ruo hesitated for a moment, but finally asked the question that had been bothering her: "But how did you end up here?"

"I just happened to be passing by and saw that you seemed a bit agitated, so I came in to see what was going on..."

Sang Ruo pondered for a moment and said, "So that's how it is."

The man looked down at her and asked, "I heard you're going to open a clinic?"
