Chapter 562 Liking Can't Put Food On
She not only didn't lose money, but actually made a huge profit.
With Sang Ruo as her scapegoat, if she uses her position wisely, Wei Haoyu might just come back to her.
She can go back to being the eldest daughter of the Chen family, having both love and dignity.
Killing two birds with one stone.
How wonderful.
Sang Ruo felt a chill run down her spine when she thought about how meticulous Chen Anyuan was: "I even felt sorry for her before, and I even revealed the truth about Chen Anyuan's death to Chen Wanru because of her..."
"I truly regret my poor judgment in judging people."
Helping out of momentary pity resulted in the other party dragging you down with them.
Sure enough, we're not from the same circle, so our purposes for making friends are different.
She never imagined that her kindness would be taken advantage of by Chen Wei in this way.
Seeing the regret in her eyes, Bo Jinyan couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her. He raised his hand and stroked her obedient hair: "Xiao Ruo, this is not your fault. Chen Wei plotted against you first. You don't need to blame yourself like this."
He understood her kindness towards Chen Wei.
It was because she saw Chen Wei being cheated on and treated as a mistress that she was reminded of her own past and how helpless she felt back then, which is why she helped her.
He knew how difficult her past had been, so he never blamed her.
If anyone is to blame, it's Chen Wei, who is too cunning and schemes against Bo Jinyan's woman.
He needs to have a serious talk with Chen Wei.
"I'm not blaming myself, I'm just angry at myself."
Sang Ruo regretted trusting others so easily: "But after I revealed the truth, it seems that Wei Haoyu is still unaware of what his father-in-law has been doing behind his back."
If he had known, he wouldn't have reacted this way.
It seems that not only Wei Haoyu, but even Chen Wanru doesn't know.
It seems that Minister Chen really kept this a secret very well; it appears that even his own daughter, Chen Wei, was unaware of it.
"He certainly doesn't know. Do you think someone as meticulous as Minister Chen would easily let others know his plans?"
Bo Jinyan had met Minister Chen many times and had a general understanding of him: "Once Wei Haoyu finds out the truth, do you think his already precarious marriage with Chen Wei can continue?"
On the surface, Minister Chen was acting in Chen Wei's best interests, but upon closer examination, it becomes clear that he was actually trying to avenge the Chen family.
To put it bluntly, it was all to salvage the last bit of face the Chen family had left.
Secondly, it was for the sake of her daughter's happiness.
But the most important thing is always the family's reputation.
Sang Ruo agreed: "You're right. Minister Chen's pretense of avenging his daughter is just a cover; his real intention is to salvage the family's remaining reputation. But isn't he afraid that one day, Wei Haoyu will find out everything and divorce his daughter?"
He went to great lengths to save face for his family, but if Wei Haoyu still wanted to divorce Chen Wei in the end, wouldn't all his previous efforts have been in vain?
It even cost a life.
“He doesn’t have the guts to get a divorce.” Bo Jinyan knew this kind of man all too well: “For someone like him who lives off his wife and gets ahead by relying on his father-in-law, the last thing he should do is get a divorce.”
Sang Ruo was puzzled: "Why? Doesn't he like Chen Wanru?"
Back when Bo Jinzhou cheated on his wife, wasn't he also in love with Liang Yuxin?
“Liking someone doesn’t put food on the table.” Bo Jinyan curled his lips and sneered, “Compared to women, the resources and wealth he possesses are the biggest assets that have supported him to get to where he is today.”
Without the wealth and power to rely on, Wei Haoyu is nothing more than an ordinary lawyer in the entire capital.
At that point, his current network and social circle will quickly abandon him.
The decline in social class is the thing that men like Wei Haoyu fear most.
Money and power were clearly more important to him than women.
Sang Ruo hooked her arms around his neck, sat on his lap, swung her legs around, and said casually, "They say wealth is a man's greatest asset, and it seems that's really true."
Everything Wei Haoyu has now is the result of the image he has cultivated over many years.
Would he be willing to ruin his carefully cultivated married image of many years for the sake of Chen Wanru?
For a moment, Sang Ruo couldn't say for sure.
“That depends on the person.” As he spoke, Bo Jinyan suddenly moved his face closer to hers, his nose almost touching hers, so intimate that it seemed as if their breaths were mingling together: “For me, do you think wealth would be my greatest asset?”
Sang Ruo subconsciously shook her head: "No."
"Wealth is not your greatest asset; your greatest asset is power. Power and influence are the reasons why your position is so stable. Even with so many changes in power over the years, it has never affected you in the slightest."
She was aware of this from the very beginning when she started dating him.
Now, her understanding is only more profound than before.
Bo Jinyan curled his lips: "You have a pretty deep understanding. You're right. I do have power and influence, but there will always be people stronger than you in this circle. You can only keep up by constantly working hard."
Most of the time, he was forced to climb up the ladder.
Even if he doesn't want to, his father will make him continue. The power of those around him will always be stronger than his own, constantly pushing him to climb higher.
Therefore, sometimes, having a high position and great power is not necessarily a good thing.
It often means that being at the top can be lonely.
"So what do you think I should say to Chen Wei?" Sang Ruo found this troublesome: "If I refuse, I will offend her. If I really give Bo Jinzhou to her, what if Bo Jinzhou comes knocking on my door again?"
She felt that if that day ever came, there would be endless trouble.
Bo Jinzhou's feelings for her haven't completely disappeared. As long as he hasn't given up, she won't have a moment's peace.
Now Chen Wei has also entered the fray. How come one problem after another arises?
Bo Jinyan pondered for a moment, then parted his thin lips slightly: "When you go to see her, I will go with you. With me there, even if she is angry, she won't dare to say anything more."
Unless, of course, she really wants to completely offend Bo Jinyan over this matter.
He wanted to become Bo Jinyan's complete enemy.
In that case, it would be a different story.
"Will this work?" Sang Ruo felt that Chen Wei was not someone who could be easily dismissed: "I don't think Chen Wei will necessarily be willing to accept your offer."
If she doesn't buy it, she will still offend Chen Wei in the end.
This could even offend Minister Chen.
She didn't want to offend so many people because of this; that wasn't what she wanted.
Bo Jinyan's eyes were cold: "She has to buy it whether she wants to or not. If she doesn't, it means she's deliberately coming with us."
"Besides, she was the one who kicked you when you were down first, and she deliberately threatened you first. You don't need to be so afraid of her."
