Chapter 126: Sleep Here Tonight

eman, I don't deserve your formal thanks."Shen Wanci didn't think things were as easy and coincidental as he said. There were many people who would fight to participate in this kind of program that co...Seeing Jian Weining at the door, coupled with Shen Wanci's words just now, it wasn't hard to guess the cause and effect.

Bao Jingzhou narrowed his eyes, the temperature in them cold and distant, to an extreme.

He didn't show anger, but his fury was palpable. He tightened his grip on Shen Wanci's hand, increasing the pressure until it felt violent. "You called someone"

A sharp pain spread from Shen Wanci's arm to her whole body, she couldn't help but let out a soft hiss. Before she could struggle free, Bo Jingzhou loosened his grip.

He lowered his head, his gaze falling on the woman's wrist, which was red from being squeezed, "Sorry, I lost control for a moment."

Although Bo Jingzhou's attitude was courteous and gentlemanly at the moment, even apologizing when he accidentally hurt her, it sounded much more sincere than the perfunctory words he uttered at the studio entrance, Shen Wanci still subconsciously kept a distance from him.

Because he looks just like those tsundere characters in TV dramas, if he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, he'd be the perfect image of a gentle and refined villain, a deviant serial killer.

"Since you brought them here, you're responsible for sending them away."

Shen Wanci called Jian Weining over, precisely because she knew Bo Jingzhou wouldn't easily let her go. How could she possibly listen to him and send her away

"You..."

"Shen Wanci." Jian Weining spoke up, breaking the two's oblivious conversation.

Her face was as white as snow, her slender body trembling slightly, as if she had been deeply humiliated. Her expression was a mixture of grief and anger, "I haven't been in contact with Jingzhou for a long time, you don't have to humiliate me this way."

She looked at the expressionless Bo Jingzhou, a high-pitched sneer, "Even if I were shameless, I wouldn't pester a man who doesn't like me, becoming a nuisance."

Bo Jinchou's face suddenly changed, quickly becoming gloomy. His thin lips tightened, and his eyes looked at Jian Weining with a cold and warning gleam.

Shen Wanci watched from the side, tsk, another pair of mindless lovestruck fools who like to play games of hide-and-seek with their feelings. And she was clearly being used as a tool to make someone jealous.

It's truly... a terrible thing to happen!

I don't know what bad things I did in my past life, but this life I've met these two!

Shen Wanci said weakly, "Why don't you come in I'll give you some guidance"

Let's see what obstacles are in the way. Why does falling in love have to be so tiring You'd think there was some deep-seated grudge between them.

Jian Wei Ning: "No need."

Bo Jingzhou: “Go out.”

Both spoke at the same time, one with a sneer, the other with ferocity.

Jian Weining's eyes were red, she turned around and left abruptly. After taking two steps, she turned back, "Since you're here, let me explain. The invitation was my manager's own idea. Because I'm planning to enter the entertainment industry recently, she wanted to create momentum for me, which led to this misunderstanding. I have scolded her already, and it won't happen again. I'm sorry."

This time, she walked away without looking back.

Shen Wanci also wanted to leave, but before she could move, she was seen through by Bo Jingzhou. He threatened with a sullen face: "Have dinner with me, and I'll send you back. If you want to sleep here tonight, just make a fuss."

Shen Wanci watched the man's back stride towards the restaurant, and for a moment, she couldn't control her overflowing sympathy. She felt sorry for him too. He had money, power, influence, looks, and a great figure, but he fell in love with someone like Jian Weining who was so difficult to get along with. It wouldn't be fair to his deep affection if he didn't suffer a little.

"Facing me, you sure you can stomach this Or should I go fetch someone else for you"

Asking is impossible, at most you can twist it back.

Bo Jingzhou, however, looked at her with cold eyes, "You are still wearing the identity of Mrs. Bo, asking her back to let the reporters fabricate and ruin her reputation"

"......"

Shen Wanci now wished she could travel back in time and slap her former, soft-hearted self twice. She considered what would make her loved one happy, but she actually felt sorry for him! She was completely blinded by sympathy!

Bo Jingzhou waited for a long while without hearing any sound behind him, so he asked, "Why don't you speak"

Shen Wanci said fiercely: "Because I know, if it's not a treasure in your heart, don't be too noisy, the noisier you are, the sooner you die."

>

After dinner, Bo Jingzhou kept his promise and sent her back to her apartment. He was in a bad mood and didn't speak the whole way. She had originally planned to have Jiang Shu send her, but he insisted on driving himself, so Jiang Shu was still the one behind the wheel.

What a real king of fish!

……

The next day, Shen Wanci went to Xu Lao's office.

She went over her mother's belongings last night, but didn't find anything suspicious.

"What Are you... like Xuan" Xu Lao stared at Shen Wanci in disbelief. He couldn't believe it, but this seemed the most reasonable explanation. The methods were similar, the appearances alike. If this was just a coincidence, it would be too much of a coincidence.

“Those last two times I asked about Ru Xuan, why didn’t you tell me How is your mother now Is she still doing this”

"My mother passed away."

“...”

Ten years ago, she didn't break off contact with you, but passed away.

Telling Xu Lao her true identity wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision by Shen Wanci. For so many years, she hadn't found any information related to her mother's death. She had even suspected that it might have truly been an accident, but her grandfather firmly believed that her mother was murdered. Later, after much effort, she discovered that her mother had taken on a restoration project of a painting before her death.

The painting should have been finished before Mom passed away, but after she died, the painting disappeared.

Since the enemy lurks in the shadows, she throws herself into the light.

Shen Wanci didn't know if this would work, after all, it was a decade-old affair. Even if there was some conspiracy, it had settled to dust.

Even if you have no clue, this is not a bad option.

She wanted to leverage the connections of Xu Lao's circle to spread the word about her being the illegitimate daughter in this social circle.

Mr. Xu: "She..."

He opened his mouth, and after a full ten seconds, he continued, "How did your mother die"

Shen Wanci laid out her mother's cause of death, her suspicions, and the clues she had uncovered over the years.

Lao Xu frowned, disapprovingly saying: "If your mother were alive, she definitely wouldn't want you to take such a risk. No, I can't let you go into danger. I have to look after you for her sake. We can investigate privately, there will always be clues."

Shen Wanci: "My grandfather was still thinking about finding the murderer who killed my mother before he died. I can't disappoint him."

"We need to think about this in the long term," said Old Xu, slamming his hand on the table. "First, you should make Wanwan's identity public. Once you gain a foothold in this circle, maybe other clues will come knocking."

Although "Wanwan" has some fame in the circle these years, because Shen Wanci is too low-key, almost no one can directly contact her. This leads to the fact that although she is capable, only a small number of people know about it.

"The last documentary was a big hit, Meng Dao wants to make a reality show with amateurs this time. He asked me before if I could invite you, using your appearance as a gimmick to promote the show. It's a great opportunity to become famous..."ast leisurely: "Rest assured, you won't have to endure it for much longer."Chen Xu was pleased: “Are you resigning”"No, given your EQ, I estimate you'll be fired by Mr. Bo very soon."Afternoon.Bo Jing...
