Chapter Ninety-Seven: Clients
Bo Jinzhou's eyelashes trembled slightly upon hearing her words.
Sang Ruo's current appearance is strikingly similar to how she looked three years ago before entering prison.
She went in crying, looking completely broken, and stared at him with such a cold gaze.
But right now, her eyes held nothing but coldness.
She didn't even have a trace of affection for him anymore.
"If you dare to slander me again, I won't let you get away with it!"
“Sang Ruo, you…”
Before Bo Jinzhou could finish speaking, Sang Ruo pointed to the door and said, "While I still have patience, please leave immediately."
This reaction infuriated the man.
But he didn't stay and turned to leave.
Sang Ruo glanced at his departing figure, her hands, placed at her sides, involuntarily clenching for a moment.
Chen Wuye had just left when Chen Anni arrived.
Sang Ruo sat at the consultation table and saw Chen Anni leading Song Linlin into the clinic.
She pointed towards the door: "Why is that bastard here again?"
Before Sang Ruo could even speak, Chen Wuye suddenly interrupted, "Miss Chen, the child is right here! Watch your words!"
"Did I say something wrong? He's a scumbag!" Chen Anni glared at him. "You men are all the same."
"Hey..." Chen Wuye said anxiously, "Don't drag me into this!"
"Did I name names? Why are you in such a hurry to assume it's you? As if you're afraid others won't know you're the one..."
“I am indeed a dog in the Chinese zodiac, and I am indeed a man, but not a dog man.” Chen Wuye glared at her: “If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll call the police and have you arrested.”
"Sang Ruo, listen carefully, is he even speaking human language?"
Chen Anni looked at Sang Ruo with dissatisfaction, her tone full of surprise.
Sang Ruo was in a bad mood because of Bo Jinzhou's arrival, but listening to their conversation, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile.
"You two can chat away. I have to get off my early shift today and take An'an out for dinner."
Sang Ruo picked up her bag, took the child's hand, and prepared to leave the clinic.
Chen Anni glared at Chen Wuye and quickly followed, saying, "Hey, wait for me..."
Behind him, Chen Wuye's muttering voice came: "You've all left, leaving me to work overtime alone? That's so unfair."
...
Today, Sang Ruo wanted to take Song Linlin out to eat, so she asked Chen Anni to pick up the child and come to the clinic to find her.
Dinner ended, and it was already past eight o'clock.
After putting the child to sleep, Sang Ruo went downstairs to get a drink of water, while Chen Anni was still in the living room on the first floor.
When Sang Ruo came down, she said while playing a game, "An old client contacted you today. Apparently, a floor vase broke and he wants you to help repair it, but it's quite difficult. The vase is 1.3 meters tall, so it's not an easy job. He asked if you would take it?"
Sang Ruo didn't expect the order to come so quickly.
I haven't touched this kind of large vase in a long time; it requires a certain amount of time and skill.
Moreover, she recently plans to start a social media account, and if she records the process of restoring such a large vase, it will definitely be very easy to attract followers, which will also help her account in the future.
"Sure, you can pick it up for me! Bring the things here later."
Are you planning to do it at home?
Chen Anni looked up curiously, staring at her with a puzzled expression.
“Yes.” Sang Ruo pointed upstairs: “I plan to clean up the attic and use it as my temporary jade workshop. Even if I work late at night, it won’t affect your rest.”
"Sure! I'll contact him tomorrow and have him send the things over."
"good."
Sang Ruo nodded slightly, then went up to the third floor, tidied up the attic briefly, and finished around midnight.
The next morning, the large vase that Chen Anni mentioned was delivered to Youfeng Tower.
It took Sang Ruo and Chen Anni a lot of effort to carry the vase up to the attic.
It was indeed a huge project, but it successfully aroused Sang Ruo's competitive spirit.
In the following days, she worked at the clinic during the day and began repairing vases in the evening. She was busy every day, but she also found her days quite fulfilling.
For a whole week, she was immersed in this kind of life, and there was no movement from Bo Jinzhou and Bo Jinyan. Everything was very peaceful.
On the evening of the eighth day after Sang Ruoxiu repaired the vase, the client said he wanted to come and see the progress.
Because he was a regular customer, and this person had met her before, she brought him to Youfenglou.
When the client arrived, Chen Anni was taking Linlin for a walk.
Just as the customer was about to leave, the doorbell rang suddenly.
"I'll go down and take a look, you go first..."
"good."
After Sang Ruo went downstairs and opened the door, she was stunned for a moment when she saw the person standing at the door.
Bo Jinyan stood at the door, his hands in his pockets, his posture casual and lazy, exuding a cold aura of a superior.
After a moment's pause, Sang Ruo asked, "Mr. Bo? Why did you come so suddenly?"
Just as Bo Jinyan was about to respond, footsteps suddenly came from the stairs behind him.
At the same time, a man's voice rang out: "Xiao Sang."
Bo Jinyan looked up at the sound and saw a man of similar build walking down from the second floor.
He has a refined and scholarly air, with a classical charm that matches Sang Ruo's temperament quite well.
After a week apart, I never expected to find another man by her side.
The second floor is all rooms...
The customer merely glanced at Bo Jinyan before walking past him and heading towards the door.
Before leaving, he glanced back at Sang Ruo and said, "Then I'll be going now. I'll come back another day."
Sang Ruo nodded slightly and replied with a smile, "Okay."
The customer had just left when his view was blocked by a human wall.
Before Sang Ruo could even raise her head, the man in front of her grabbed her waist and pressed her against the wall.
He gently lifted his leg and closed the door behind him.
"Bang--"
The sound was very loud, disturbing the entire space.
"who is he?"
A deep voice came from above Sang Ruo's head.
Sang Ruo was pinned against the wall and was somewhat unable to move.
The moment she raised her eyes, she met the man's gloomy gaze, which was extremely cold and terrifying.
Sang Ruo blurted out, "The customer."
Upon hearing this, the man's brow furrowed slightly: "A client? You brought a client home?"
Sang Ruo then realized that Bo Jinyan didn't know she was also involved in the jade industry; he only knew she was a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. Calling her a client was indeed inappropriate.
"Hmm." Sang Ruo broke free from his embrace and walked towards the second floor, then changed the subject: "Why did Mr. Bo suddenly come here?"
Bo Jinyan followed and said, "I've come to see the child."
Upon hearing this, Sang Ruo stopped on the spiral staircase: "That's really unfortunate. Annie just took her out for a walk, and she probably won't be back for another half hour."
The man didn't say anything and walked upstairs on his own.
"Mr. Bo, there are rooms upstairs, what do you want to do up there?"
