Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Make Way
When their gazes met, there was friction and collision in the silent air, as if a string were being drawn tighter and tighter, reaching a breaking point where it might snap at any moment.
Although Zero Degree had cooperated with BHS, this was the first time Ye Shaowen had met Bo Tingshen in real life.
True to his reputation as a top business magnate, just standing there, his imposing aura and dominant gaze were enough to intimidate, if it hadn’t been for the issue with his little sister, he would have respected him, but since he coveted his beloved Xiao Yezi, he could no longer regard him as a friendly business partner.
“President Bo graces us with his presence, what brings you here?”
“Ye Xian is fine, she’s currently lying in bed resting, and if President Bo has nothing else, you can leave.”
“I want to see her.” His tone was assertive, leaving no room for arguments, sparking a deep anger within Ye Shaowen. Who was he? Just expecting to see her when he says so? Wasn’t that a bit too arrogant?
“I’m sorry, Ye Xian is not available to see anyone right now,” Ye Shaowen firmly refused.
Bo Tingshen approached him, stopping a meter away.
Although Ye Shaowen was a towering 183 cm tall, he still seemed at a disadvantage before him.
The man’s voice was deep, and his imposing gaze from above carried a compelling force.
Pang Kai felt a chill on his back, never having expected such a confrontation. What exactly was the relationship between Ye Shaowen and Ye Xian?
Hadn’t Ye Xian said all those rumors about her and Ye Shaowen were false? But if they were just rumors, why was Ye Shaowen with her when she had an accident?
The confrontation between the two men clearly displayed the upper hand. Though Ye Shaowen had been in business for several years, facing such a formidable opponent skilled in psychological warfare, he still seemed immature. Under the intense scrutiny of those unfathomable eyes, his breathing, slightly disturbed, betrayed his emotions and declared his defeat.
He could have asked, “What gives you the right?” or said, “What can you do if I don’t let you?” Yet, he had to step back because of Ye Xian alone.
Xiao Yezi had just agreed not to upset herself for his sake, and if he angered her boss now, she would surely make a scene.
Ye Shaowen: “President Bo wants to see Ye Xian; I can’t stop him, but shouldn’t I ask for her opinion first? What if she doesn’t want to see you?”
Having said that, Ye Shaowen knocked on Ye Xian’s door.
In the hospital room, Ye Xian was joking with Zhou Lu. Hearing the noise, she called out, “Who is it?”
Ye Shaowen: “Ye Xian, your boss wants to see you.”
“Boss?” Ye Xian was stunned, then realizing who it was, she panicked, her heart nearly leapt to her throat, “Bo, Bo Tingshen?!”
“Is he here already?!”
Ye Xian, flustered, grabbed a pillow and covered her face with it.
Zhou Lu: “Brother Ye, what’s wrong? Isn’t it an honor that President Bo is coming to see you? Aren’t you happy?”
“Xiao Lu, quick, quick, block the door!”
Ye Xian urged Zhou Lu in a low voice, who, confused, did as told.
Ye Shaowen glanced at the man beside him and hesitated, “He’s waiting in the lobby right now.”
In the lobby, huh? Good, good!
Ye Xian breathed a small sigh of relief.
Ye Shaowen: “Are you going to see him or not?” “No! Absolutely not! I’d rather die than see him!”
Inside, Ye Xian’s firm and vocal refusal echoed in succession.
