Chapter 568 Gong Lian Crushes the Wine Cup
It's better to just give up and go all out; maybe you'll even reach an unexpected height.
Bo Jinyan's eyes showed a hint of worry: "Xiao Ruo, by recklessly disrupting Minister Chen's plans, you will bring danger upon yourself."
"Minister Chen is not someone to be trifled with. He can teach his daughter a lesson himself. We'd better not get involved in this matter."
He wasn't afraid of Minister Chen, but rather afraid that Sang Ruo would be harmed as a result.
For them, remaining inactive is the safest course of action at present.
"If he really wanted to teach Chen Wei a lesson, he would have done it already."
Sang Ruo retorted somewhat displeasedly, "Does Chen Wei have the right to keep threatening me? Besides, tomorrow is the day of Bo Jinzhou's trial. Do you think she will come after me once the court has tried her and Bo Jinzhou is imprisoned?"
Bo Jinzhou was imprisoned for illegal detention, and it was Bo Jinyan who helped him report it to the police.
Given Bo Jinyan's style of doing things, Bo Jinzhou will most likely be sentenced to the maximum penalty.
I just don't know if Chen Wei will let her off the hook when she finds out about this.
She felt it was risky.
"If she dares to come after you, I'll be the first to get rid of her!" Bo Jinyan's gentle eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness: "But Xiao Ruo, I'll handle this for you, so it's better if you don't get involved."
He feared that if she got involved, Minister Chen would easily target her.
Chen Wei was already targeting her, and if Minister Chen were to target her as well, her situation would be far more dangerous than Chen Wanru's.
Moreover, Wen Qingyi's attitude today was clearly quite sharp towards her.
If there were another Minister Chen, she would be surrounded by wolves, not much better off than Chen Wanru.
Hearing him speak up for Chen Wei at every turn, Sang Ruo narrowed her eyes: "Ayan, why are you always speaking up for Chen Wei? You saw how the Chen family treated me!"
"In the end, not only did you not help me, but you also spoke up for Chen Wei at every turn. Whose side are you really on?"
Does even Ayan think she's wrong?
She was just retaliating normally. Does he only want her to be a woman who never fights back no matter how much others bully her and needs his constant protection?
“Xiao Ruo, I’m not speaking up for Chen Wei, I’m analyzing the pros and cons for you.” Bo Jinyan didn’t realize when he had spoken up for Chen Wei: “The current situation is very complicated, you shouldn’t get too involved.”
"Otherwise, the first person Minister Chen would have to deal with might not be Chen Wanru, but very likely you!"
This was absolutely not an exaggeration; Minister Chen had already lost a life, and the next person to be dealt with would definitely be Chen Wanru.
Sang Ruo didn't want to hear any of this and raised her hand to stop him: "Alright, alright, stop talking. We disagree, there's no point in continuing the discussion."
"Tell Mr. Gong that I have to leave now, goodbye."
After saying that, Sang Ruo turned around and wanted to leave, but Bo Jinyan grabbed her arm.
Bo Jinyan stared intently at her: "Are you making no attempt to avoid me?"
Just because he analyzed the pros and cons for her, just because he didn't stand on her side, she's going to give him the silent treatment?
“No, I didn’t.” Sang Ruo just felt there was no point in staying any longer: “I just felt that this occasion was not suitable for me. The people who were supposed to show up have already arrived. Someone as insignificant as me shouldn’t be here getting in their way.”
So that no one would feel uncomfortable seeing her.
She didn't want to stay here any longer either. Leaving and letting each other cool off might be better for both of them.
But Bo Jinyan held onto her arm the whole time, showing no intention of letting go.
"Let go."
Sang Ruo didn't turn around, but said coldly.
Bo Jinyan said, "If you're going to leave, you should come with me. What kind of person are you to leave alone?"
She came with him; many people saw her.
If she leaves alone, people will probably say that the couple is having internal conflicts and discord.
“I’m going my own way, and I haven’t bothered you in the slightest.” Sang Ruo frowned, a hint of anger flashing across her forehead, her tone suppressed: “Letting go and allowing each other to calm down is better for both of us.”
Otherwise, don't blame her for turning on him right here.
In that case, it will be him who loses face.
Bo Jinyan gripped her arm even tighter, then led her to the main banquet hall and greeted Gong Lian, saying, "Gong Lian, Xiao Ruo and I have something to do back home, so we'll take our leave now."
"Okay, let's go back."
Gong Lian didn't want to see him in the first place.
But when Wen Qingyi heard about this, she kept her eyes fixed on the man's departing figure, and no matter how Gong Lian called her, she never responded.
At that moment, it seemed that Bo Jinyan was the only person in her eyes, and she could no longer see anyone else.
Including Gong Lian.
Gong Lian saw that she was staring blankly at Bo Jinyan, her grip on the wine glass was frighteningly strong, almost out of control, until at some point, a loud bang was heard.
The originally transparent wine glass had been completely crushed by Gong Lian at some point, and the purplish-red wine had almost spilled all over his hand.
Looking at Gong Lian's expression, it was almost extremely gloomy.
"What happened? Did Mr. Gong crush the wine glass?"
"It seems so, but I don't know what happened..."
No one had a chance to react to what was happening, but Wen Qingyi, who heard the noise, seemed to come to her senses only at this moment.
She noticed that Gong Lian's hands were stained with red wine and asked somewhat guiltily, "Gong Lian, what happened to you?"
Gong Lian didn't speak, but stared at her with a gloomy gaze.
"Don't scare me..." His gloomy gaze frightened Wen Qingyi so much that she didn't dare to speak loudly: "Why did you crush the wine glass out of nowhere?"
She only glanced at Bo Jinyan, so why did he suddenly crush the wine glass?
Did Gong Lian see her looking at Bo Jinyan?
Gong Lian laughed in anger, his voice so suppressed it seemed to be uttering each word from the depths of his throat: "Who were you thinking about just now?"
Bo Jinyan had already left with Sang Ruo.
She was still standing there watching him, and no matter how he called out to her, he couldn't get her to come back.
What exactly did she take Gong Lian for?
Do you think he's dead? Do you really think he can't see anything?
"Nobody else, I've been thinking about you the whole time..."
But what she said was really unbelievable, and her tone of voice kept getting lower and lower, making her seem very uneasy.
This was clearly insufficient to convince Gong Lian.
Gong Lian couldn't help but sneer, "Do you think I'd still believe you? You've already made it so obvious. Do you really think I'm blind and can't see anything?"
The way she looked at Bo Jinyan just now was so affectionate and so reluctant.
A deep sense of resentment still flickered in his eyes.
