Just last night, Bo Junyi received a call from Chu Wanning in Country M.
Chu Wanning told him the news of his mother's death in a tearful voice.
"Bo Junyi, my mother is gone... I don't know anything, and there's no one around me who can help me. Can you... can you come back and help me?"
The voice revealed helplessness and panic.
Bo Junyi hesitated for a moment and agreed.
When I was about to pack my luggage, I received a call from Ji Lin.
Maybe she heard that he returned to China because of Chu Wanning's mother's funeral.
His tone was extremely serious.
"Mr. Bo, Shen Qingyao has been in a bad mental state recently and has been very active. Now the evidence is conclusive. Chu Wanning is a pawn she is using. I'm afraid she will take advantage of your mother's death and your lowered vigilance to kill you. So, it's best if you don't go to see her!"
Bo Junyi naturally thought of this as well.
He unbuttoned his collar, a dark glint in his eyes.
"Susu is still pregnant and staying in Jiangcheng. I must seize the opportunity to bring down the Shen family. Only in this way can I truly protect her!"
…………
Chu Wanning contacted him as soon as she landed in Jiangcheng.
He accompanied Chu Wanning to the hospital.
It's true that I sympathize with her situation, but at the same time I'm also wary of her every move.
In the funeral home, the pale light made Chu Wanning's face look pale.
When he saw his mother's body being pushed into the crematorium, he cried so hard that he collapsed to the ground.
While comforting her, Bo Junyi was also busy dealing with various matters.
In the evening, Chu Wanning was still staring at her mother's portrait, in a trance.
Bo Junyi rubbed his swollen temples, asked Zhou Ning to help her get into the car, and took her to a nearby restaurant for dinner.
Bo Junyi asked her what she wanted to eat. Chu Wanning stared out the window for a long time before pointing at a wonton shop that flashed by not far away and said, "It's been so many years, and that wonton shop is still there. I miss it quite a bit."
Finally, Bo Junyi asked Zhou Ning to turn around and go to the wonton shop across the street.
As soon as the three-fresh wontons were served, Bo Junyi's cell phone vibrated in his pocket.
"The company has urgent matters, you eat first."
He nodded to Chu Wanning, turned around, pushed open the glass door and went out to answer the phone.
Standing under the sycamore tree, he always kept his back to the floor-to-ceiling window.
Another phone received a notification message.
Bo Junyi turned on the video and saw Chu Wanning adding something to his wontons.
The movement was fleeting, but was captured keenly.
The plainclothes bodyguard was sitting at the table next to Chu Wanning, and he knew her every move.
He stood up and deliberately knocked over the bag that Chu Wanning had placed on the table.
Chu Wanning subconsciously bent down to pick up the stall, but the wontons at Bo Junyi's place had been replaced by the plainclothes bodyguard on the other side.
When Bo Junyi pushed the door open and returned to his seat, the waiter was bringing steaming hot soup dumplings to the table.
"Eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold." Chu Wanning forced a smile and handed him the cutlery.
Bo Junyi took the spoon and was about to scoop up the wontons when Chu Wanning suddenly spoke up, "Bo Junyi, my portion has a lot of cilantro. Can I have yours?"
As she spoke, she swapped the two wontons without waiting for Bo Junyi to speak.
Bo Junyi glanced at her white knuckles without saying a word.
Chu Wanning ate very quickly, and tears fell down her face as she ate.
Bo Junyi handed her a tissue and said, "My condolences."
Chu Wanning wiped her tears and took a long time to stop sobbing.
She raised her wet eyes and looked at the mature and handsome man in front of her, who gradually overlapped with the dazzling boy in her memory.
She said softly: "Bo Junyi, actually, I had a crush on you when I was in my third year of high school. Shen Qingyao hated me because she read my diary.
Although I was hurt, I never blamed you. I approached you this time because of Shen Qingyao. She used my mother to force me to do this. She wanted to use your guilt towards me to hurt you."
Bo Junyi leaned back in his chair and said in a deep voice, "I know."
Chu Wanning was stunned for a moment, "So, have you been sending people to monitor my every move?"
Bo Junyi remained noncommittal, but the answer was already obvious.
Chu Wanning smiled bitterly, tears falling again, "Fortunately, I didn't hurt you."
Bo Junyi naturally understood what she meant.
"From now on, you are not allowed to do anything that would hurt yourself, Chu Wanning. I don't want to live in guilt forever."
After saying that, she called Zhou Ning.
He gestured to the two plainclothes bodyguards nearby, "Take her to the hospital immediately to have her gastric lavage done."
Chu Wanning is actually not stupid. When she was targeted by Shen Qingyao, she naturally could not escape Bo Junyi's eyes.
But in order to prevent Shen Qingyao from suspecting her, she could only drug Bo Junyi according to her instructions.
At the same time, he left himself a glimmer of hope.
She deliberately gave her bowl of wontons to Bo Junyi in order to let him see her sincerity and let him know that she had thoughts of committing suicide.
She was betting whether he would be moved by this and be willing to spend more time with her.
She believed that love grows over time, and over time, Bo Junyi would naturally become mentally dependent on her.
His marriage, which existed in name only, was just a transaction. If possible, she was willing to stay by his side. As long as she could win his heart, it didn't matter even if there was no official status...
But she didn't expect that Bo Junyi didn't seem moved by this. He didn't even take her to the hospital in person...
After taking care of Chu Wanning's mother's funeral, Bo Junyi flew back to Country M overnight.
After landing, he immediately convened an emergency meeting, not only remotely advancing the plan to overthrow the Shen family, but also secretly raising Li Susu's security level to the highest level.
