Chapter 715 Warning to Xu Chen
Hearing this, Xu Chen was somewhat displeased: "Cousin, what does it matter to you whether I like her or not? Does it mean you're allowed to bully her? But I'm not allowed to help her? What kind of logic is that? Don't be so hypocritical!"
It's one thing for him to side with Sang Ruo, but does he really want to force him to stand with Sang Ruo as well?
The double standards were so obvious that even he couldn't stand it anymore.
“Xu Chen, you have openly opposed me more than once for Wen Qingyi.” Bo Jinyan’s gaze was sharp as a knife, and it also revealed a deep chill: “You will pay the price for protecting her like this.”
Wen Qingyi owes Xiao Ruo too much. She has targeted Xiao Ruo more than once and almost caused Xiao Ruo to become a vegetable.
If he can't bring Wen Qingyi to justice, how can he live up to Xiao Ru's trust in him?
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen's initial displeasure vanished instantly. Instead, he raised an eyebrow in confusion and said with a half-smile, "What? Cousin, do you still want to deal with me? If you're not afraid of causing discord between the Bo and Xu families, you're welcome to try."
If my cousin wanted to deal with him, the first person to disagree would probably be Old Master Bo.
After all, it is a fact that his aunt passed away in the Bo family, and Mr. Bo has always felt guilty about it.
If Bo Jinyan continues to target him like this, it will undoubtedly worsen the already fragile relationship between the two families.
Is my cousin sure he wants to do this?
"Xu Chen, don't push me." Bo Jinyan's patience with him was also limited: "If you really push me too far, none of you will have a good outcome!"
If he continues to protect Wen Qingyi like this, he can't guarantee that he won't do something irrational.
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen raised an eyebrow: "Am I the one who's been pressuring you? Aren't you the one who's been pushing me the whole time?"
Just because he helped Wen Qingyi, he was chased all the way to the Bulgari Hotel, and that wasn't enough. He even accused Wen Qingyi of being aggressive.
It's just a difference in perspective, why be so insistent?
“I don’t want to waste time arguing with you. Just remember, you have to pay a price for choosing to help Wen Qingyi.” Bo Jinyan’s tone was full of warning: “I hope you won’t regret your choice today.”
After leaving those words, Bo Jinyan turned and left the Bulgari Hotel.
Xu Chen watched his departing figure, a mocking smile curving his lips.
He wanted to see just how far his cousin was willing to go for Sang Ruo. Did he want to completely break with the Xu family?
Bo Jinyan arrived at the hotel's underground parking lot, got into his car, but didn't start the engine immediately. Instead, he called Acheng: "Acheng, keep an eye on Wen Qingyi for me. Have someone follow her 24/7. We must bring her back to me!"
The reason he released Wen Qingyi last time was because Gong Lian had fallen in love with Xiao Ruo, and he needed to use Wen Qingyi to control Gong Lian.
But now, Wen Qingyi's engagement with Gong Lian has been dissolved, and she no longer has the ability to control Gong Lian. So she has lost even the only advantage she could use.
Then why did he let her go?
"Yes, Mr. Bo."
After hanging up the phone, Bo Jinyan started the engine, and the black Maybach slowly drove away from the Bulgari Hotel.
After parting on bad terms with Bo Jinyan, Xu Chen instructed his men to increase protection for Wen Qingyi as he went upstairs. He also sent Wen Qingyi a text message, reminding her not to go out unless absolutely necessary, to prevent her from being targeted.
He had just sent the text message when the doorbell rang.
Xu Chen went to open the door, only to find that the person who came in was Wen Qingyi, whom he had just texted. She looked flustered and even a little lost: "Chen, what did you mean by the text message you just sent me? Is someone targeting me?"
It couldn't be Brother Ayan, it probably wasn't him.
She and Brother Ayan were childhood sweethearts, so Brother Ayan wouldn't be so cruel to her.
No matter how much she tried to convince herself, Xu Chen still said, "It's my cousin Bo Jinyan. He doesn't seem to intend to let you go. When he came to see me just now, he warned me not to regret my choice today."
"Qingyi, what exactly is going on between you and your cousin? Why is he targeting you like this?"
Moreover, her cousin kept emphasizing that a lot had happened between her and Sang Ruo. Could it be that Wen Qingyi really did something to wrong her cousin's wife?
He had always trusted Wen Qingyi, but his cousin's repeated warnings made him have to start to doubt.
“Ah Yan said those things on purpose because of my past relationship with my ex-fiancée, and because Sang Ruo and I had a lot of disagreements.” Wen Qingyi kept reassuring herself, “Actually, nothing really happened…”
"I just didn't expect that the poisoning would bother Ah Yan so much. Ah Chen, you have to help me. If even you won't help me, then there really won't be anyone else to help me..."
Her voice carried a hint of pleading and humility, making it impossible to tell that this was the same gentle and bright Wen Qingyi she once was.
At least, that's how it is from Xu Chen's perspective.
Xu Chen was also softened by her words: "Qingyi, I'm on your side, but I also hope you won't let me down."
Especially the way his cousin warned him just now made him start to doubt whether his choice was really the right one.
At this moment, Xu Chen, who had always been full of confidence, doubted his choice for the first time.
Bo Jinyan was unaware of all this, as his body had not fully recovered and he had been resting at home for the past few days.
But the man's face grew increasingly gloomy, and his mood worsened day by day.
Especially when Ah Cheng came back and reported to him on the progress of tracking Wen Qingyi, he was so angry that he threw the documents in his hand on the ground: "What do you mean by no progress? Isn't she staying at the Bulgari Hotel?"
"You've been following us for so long, haven't you made any progress at all?"
Acheng was so frightened by his angry appearance that he trembled and dared not move: "Young Master Bo, it's really not that I'm not trying, but Wen Qingyi hasn't left the hotel since she checked in! She's been hiding in her hotel room, and there's nothing we can do."
He sent men to stake out the Bulgari Hotel for three days and three nights straight, but made no progress.
At first, he thought it was because his subordinates were incompetent, so after the first day was fruitless, he personally took charge of the tracking on the second day. He waited for her for a whole day and night, but she never came out.
Even if he sat in the hotel lobby for hours, let alone leave the hotel, she never came down.
The target didn't leave the hotel room, so even if they wanted to catch him, they were powerless to do so.
