Chapter 554 Discovering Aunt's Plot
Sang Ruo shook her head: "I don't want him to hate me, but I'm also afraid he'll get hurt."
She knew Bo Jinyan was right, but the child was still so young; exposing him to the dark side of society too early...
Is this really a good thing for him?
This made Sang Ruo suspicious.
“Didn’t I tell you? He’ll have to face it sooner or later.” Bo Jinyan knew what she was thinking, and a hint of heartache flashed in his eyes: “You don’t want him to face the dark side of society so soon.”
"But for a boy, showing him the dark side of society too early will make him grow up faster."
How can one grow without experiencing trials and tribulations?
Whether the dark side of society is revealed sooner or later has both advantages and disadvantages.
For Bo Yukang, isn't excessive protection also a form of restriction?
The man's words eased Sang Ruo's lingering worries considerably: "I hope so."
"Who were you waiting for when you had Attorney Wang waiting at the entrance of the exhibition hall this afternoon?" Bo Jinyan suddenly asked. "Attorney Wang asked me several times when he came back."
He knew she wasn't the type to easily follow others.
Something must have happened to keep her lingering near the exhibition hall.
Sang Ruo was surprised that he found out so quickly. Her body stiffened for a moment before she said, "The person who wants to buy my work today is Chen Anyuan's daughter, Chen Wanru."
Chen Wanru?
This discovery surprised Bo Jinyan: "How could it be her?"
“I was puzzled too.” Sang Ruo’s initial feelings upon seeing Chen Wanru were exactly the same as his current reaction: “At first, I didn’t want to sign, but they were so sincere, so why should I refuse? So after I signed the contract, I kept my guard up.”
“I asked Lawyer Wang to wait a while before leaving. I waited for more than an hour next to the exhibition hall until 3 p.m., when my aunt appeared at the entrance of the exhibition hall, and that’s when I realized something was wrong.”
Aunt? Zhang Qingxiu?
Bo Jinyan's expression was somewhat serious: "Why would Zhang Qingxiu be there?"
"I suspect that my uncle has too much gambling debt, and she also suffered a setback in business recently, losing a lot of money. She probably wants to extort money from me to make up for her losses in business."
She even had a vague premonition.
This time, Auntie was trying her best, but what she didn't understand was how Zhang Qingxiu knew Chen Wanru.
Chen Wanru had only recently returned to China, and her father had just passed away, so she should be quite unfamiliar with the people and things in the Beijing social circle.
How did you come to know my aunt?
“You have a point.” Bo Jinyan admitted that what she said was the most likely scenario: “But the problem is, you know she knows Chen Wanru, how do you plan to deal with that?”
Sang Ruo was also very troubled: "I don't know. As long as she doesn't make a move against me, I can't think of a way to deal with her."
This is what's giving her the biggest headache.
She didn't know what her aunt would do next, and even if she had a way to deal with her, she didn't know how to handle her.
Just as Sang Ruo was worrying about how Zhang Qingxiu would deal with her, the next morning, as soon as Sang Ruo arrived at the studio, Zhang Qingxiu came to her door.
“Sang Ruo!” Zhang Qingxiu stood in the studio, pointing to the contract she had previously signed with Chen Wanru: “You dare to sign a fake contract with her?”
Sang Ruo was not surprised at all that she would come to her door. She said calmly, "The contracts were reviewed by both parties' lawyers and were only signed with the guarantee of the person in charge."
She paused, her gaze falling on the contract in Zhang Qingxiu's hand: "You're accusing me with a fake contract. Aren't you afraid that you'll end up in jail like your daughter?"
Forging contracts is illegal, especially forging a contract for the National Exhibition Center.
Basically, they're accurate every time they catch someone.
"What have you done to my daughter?" Zhang Qingxiu's tone suddenly became agitated: "Sang Ruo, if you dare to lay a finger on your cousin, I will never let you get away with it!"
She had heard Zhang Qingxiu say these words too many times and was almost immune to them.
So Sang Ruo's expression remained unchanged: "Sang Yun is still in prison. If you miss her, Aunt, you can go in with her."
Her words were nonchalant, but they only fueled Zhang Qingxiu's rage: "You vicious woman! You weren't satisfied with framing your cousin, you want to get me in too?!"
Realizing this, Zhang Qingxiu seemed to want to escape, but the security guards in the studio grabbed her hands and feet, controlling her tightly from both sides.
"Let me go!" Zhang Qingxiu struggled desperately, but found that she could not break free no matter what she did.
Sang Ruo curled her lips: "Aunt, it's not that I want to send you in, but as I told you before, if you dare to continue to do something underhanded around me, I won't let you off the hook either!"
Only then did Zhang Qingxiu begin to feel alarmed: "What do you want?"
"Speak," Sang Ruo said sharply, "Who introduced you to Chen Wanru? How did you meet her?"
It would be too easy for her to get her aunt into the scheme, but the question is, who exactly introduced Chen Wanru to her aunt?
She won't have peace of mind even if she sends her aunt to jail, until the mastermind behind this is found.
Zhang Qingxiu's expression changed several times, more colorful than a palette, before she finally found her voice: "No one introduced me, I met them myself..."
"You think I'd still believe you?!"
Seeing that she still wanted to argue, Sang Ruo retorted without thinking, "Aunt, please tell the truth."
"If you tell me honestly who's behind this, at least you'll have the freedom to live out your later years. Otherwise, you'll spend the rest of your life in prison!"
This was no longer an overt threat, but a blatant warning.
He warned her not to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit.
Zhang Qingxiu was so frightened that she dared not hide anything anymore: "Okay, I'll talk, I'll talk..."
"It was Wen Qingyi who introduced Chen Wanru to me. She told me that Chen Wanru was interested in buying your work and asked me to collaborate with her."
She didn't know how Sang Ruo could have become so heartless.
She wasn't like this before.
She now made this elder feel subconsciously a little scared.
Wen Qingyi?
She actually knows Chen Wanru?
That woman, has she not given up on Ayan yet?
Realizing this, Sang Ruo's expression turned serious: "Then what's the deal with this contract you got today?"
Could this also be Wen Qingyi's doing?
What exactly is this woman trying to do?
"Wen Qingyi made me do this too." Zhang Qingxiu was terrified, her eyes brimming with tears. "She made me use this fake contract to frame you, so that if you go to jail, you won't be able to marry Bo Jinyan..."
