Chapter 745 Impatience
Sang Ruo was getting impatient with his questioning: "You've already decided that I did it, so what's the point of me telling the truth? Gong Lian, you could find out with a flick of your finger, so why do you have to go through all this trouble to question me?"
His behavior really baffled her.
With his connections, what information couldn't he find? Why didn't he investigate it himself? Why did he have to ask her?
Is an answer spoken aloud necessarily more appealing than a genuine investigative report?
I don't understand.
“Because I want to hear the truth with my own ears, I will only believe it if you tell me.” Gong Lian stared at her intently, his voice deep and affectionate: “Sang Ruo, tell me honestly, did you instigate Lu Nanchu to cause Wen Qingyi’s miscarriage?”
He really just wants to hear the truth. Is that really that difficult?
Is it that she doesn't trust him as much as Bo Jinyan?
Hearing this, Sang Ruo became increasingly irritated by his relentless questioning. With a snap, she slammed her laptop shut and tossed it aside: "Have you asked enough? Why don't you investigate this yourself? Why do I have to tell you? Aren't you annoying?"
That's really enough.
Can't he see how annoyed she is with him? It's such a trivial matter, yet he makes it seem like she did it all...
Is it necessary?
Gong Lian was stunned by her angry outburst; it seemed to be the first time she had ever yelled at him since he had known her.
He looked so impatient; it seemed he had really angered her.
"Did you hear me?" Bo Jinyan found him an eyesore and his tone was full of displeasure: "Gong Lian, even Xiao Ru can't stand you anymore. Why don't you get out of here right now? If you don't leave, I'll have the bodyguards kick you out."
Upon hearing this, Gong Lian's expression darkened further: "I will come again."
After leaving those words, he turned and left Qinyuan Bay.
Bo Jinyan stood at the top of the stairs and could clearly see his departing figure through the large floor-to-ceiling window in the living room. He only came downstairs when the engine of the Lamborghini started to sound.
He walked straight to Sang Ruo's side and then quietly breathed a sigh of relief: "What's going on with Nan Chu? How did it get to the point that even Gong Lian knows about it?"
"Is that even a question?" Although Sang Ruo had chased him away, she had guessed the truth to some extent: "It must have been Gong Lian who went to see Wen Qingyi, and Wen Qingyi told her. As for how Wen Qingyi knew, I think Nan Chu must have gone to see her."
Otherwise, given Wen Qingyi's personality, no matter how she guessed, she would never have guessed that it was Lu Nanchu.
If it were Wen Qingyi, her first reaction to this would be that she was the one who did it.
Bo Jinyan nodded in agreement: "That's true. Either Nan Chu contacted Wen Qingyi, or Gong Lian found out on his own. But if he really did investigate, do you think he would have come all the way here to question you?"
He thought it was unlikely; it was more probable that Nan Chu had contacted Wen Qingyi.
“That’s why I said Nan Chu must have contacted her.” Sang Ruo felt that things were getting more and more complicated, and many unrelated people were involved: “Ayan, now that this matter has become so big, should we inform our uncle?”
She was afraid that if this matter escalated, she wouldn't know how to handle the situation in the end.
If my uncle gets involved at this time, at least a temporary truce can be reached, and things won't escalate further.
Although Wen Qingyi's fate was what she wanted to see, the sheer number of people involved still shocked her.
Bo Jinyan frowned: "I don't think it's necessary. As it stands, the struggle between these people is still just a battle of emotions. As long as it doesn't infringe on the interests of the Xu family, even if you ask your uncle to get involved, he won't be willing to."
If their emotional struggle involves the Xu family's interests, then that's a different story.
At that time, not only Wen Qingyi, but even Xu Chen will not be able to escape the consequences.
My uncle is a person who is very focused on business interests.
I won't take action unless absolutely necessary.
Sang Ruo rested her head on her shoulder, praying that they wouldn't make too much noise.
But as if things weren't going to go wrong, not long after Gong Lian left, Bo Jinyan received a call from his uncle Xu Yi, asking him to bring Sang Ruo to the Xu family's welcome banquet that evening.
After hanging up the phone, Bo Jinyan stared at the disconnected caller ID and fell into deep thought.
What does it mean that my uncle suddenly held this welcome banquet? Does he already know about Wen Qingyi's miscarriage?
No, it was he who leaked the information from his uncle's side, and it was before Lu Nanchu returned to the country. How could he know these things?
Who leaked it to him?
"Ayan?" Sang Ruo waved her hand in front of his eyes when she saw that he hadn't spoken for a while. She was relieved when she saw that he finally came to his senses. "What's wrong? Who called just now?"
“It’s my uncle.” Bo Jinyan’s expression was somewhat serious at this moment: “My uncle asked us to dress up and attend the Xu family’s welcome banquet for the two of us tonight.”
A welcome banquet?
Sang Ruo raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Is this to celebrate Miss Lu's return to the country? It's been so long since the event? Isn't that a bit slow on the uptake?"
It's been more than half a month since Lu Nanchu returned to China, and they're only now holding this welcome banquet?
Isn't it a little too late?
This is probably for some ulterior motive.
"I'm afraid the welcome banquet is a pretense, and that my uncle has ulterior motives."
Bo Jinyan held Sang Ruo's slender waist, his gaze fixed on the window, seemingly lost in thought: "Xiao Ruo, we'd better not talk too much at the welcome banquet tonight. I suspect that Uncle is using the banquet as an excuse to deliberately put someone in a bad light."
As for who these "certain people" are, everyone knows the answer.
Sang Ruo smiled knowingly: "I think so too. It seems we're in for a good show tonight."
If their guesses are true, they'd be better off remaining as transparent spectators tonight.
As evening falls and night descends, the city lights begin to twinkle.
Located in the Xu family's old residence in Xicheng District of Beijing, the place was particularly lively tonight, with top-of-the-line luxury cars parked near the courtyard, filling up all the nearby parking spaces.
Sang Ruo and Bo Jinyan arrived at 6:45. When the two walked in hand in hand, Sang Ruo could feel that many people's eyes were on her.
Today she wore a light blue off-the-shoulder evening gown, paired with a matching sapphire necklace and earrings, radiating elegance and grace, so beautiful that it was almost impossible to look away.
Standing next to her was Bo Jinyan, dressed in a black tuxedo, looking like a dashing gentleman. The two, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, attracted everyone's attention as soon as they appeared.
Xu Yi and his son, who were the hosts, also noticed their presence: "Cousin, you've finally arrived! I thought you were still angry with me and didn't want to come!"
