"I’ll personally select Grandpa’s painting; there’s no need for you all to worry."
The implication of Bo Tingshen’s words was that he wouldn’t choose Xia Hewan’s paintings, negating all the previous discussions.
"Why?" Wen Yan looked puzzled, "Xianxian just made a great analysis, and he is even willing to use his connections to commission a special painting for your grandfather."
Ye Xian hooked his lips into a mocking smile, "Maybe President Bo doesn’t trust me."
He was always looking for faults in her, taking any opportunity to retaliate against her. No matter what she did, he would obstruct her efforts, showing disdain for everything she did.
Bo Xiaoli nodded and whispered cautiously into Ye Xian’s ear, "That’s right, Brother Ye, before you arrived, my cousin suspected you saved me for money."
"Some people just love to be self-righteous, don’t they? They believe that their judgments and actions are correct, and whatever someone else does is worthless in their eyes."
Thinking about being blacklisted made Ye Xian more and more enraged. She abruptly put down her chopsticks and stood up, "Uncle, Auntie, I’ve finished eating. I’m going to the restroom. Please continue without me."
Wen Yan: "Eh, Xianxian..."
Bo Tingshen: "You’ve hardly eaten anything?"
Nobody asked for your opinion, you maniac!
Ye Xian ignored him and went straight to the restroom.
Wen Yan: "Is Xianxian angry?"
"Who wouldn’t be angry? A kind gesture has been dismissed with cold water." Bo Junfeng said, "Tingshen, you were a bit..."
Before he could finish, Bo Tingshen had risen to follow Ye Xian.
Bo Lishan: "Does Tingshen have some issue with Ye Xian?"
"Brother Ye saved me, why does my cousin have to treat him like that?"
"I think there’s more to Xianxian’s words, could it be about something work-related?"
Luo Yuwei watched the silhouettes of Ye Xian and Bo Tingshen, one after the other, idly stirring her rice with her chopsticks. It must be because of the audition, she thought.
But why is CEO Bo treating Ye Xian so specially? He’s just a minor employee, after all...
As soon as Ye Xian flushed the toilet, she heard a voice outside the restroom.
"CEO, we’ve found the person. What would you like us to do?"
Get rid of? Get rid of what?
As soon as Ye Xian stepped out, she saw Bo Tingshen on the phone. She walked around him, but unexpectedly, her hand was swiftly caught by him.
"What are you doing?"
Ye Xian glared at him for holding her hand, while Bo Tingshen hung up the phone, "Where are you going?"
"Eat your meal first."
"Eat your..." Ye Xian struggled to hold back her impulse to curse, "I can’t eat in your presence! I’m sick of being disgusted!"
Bo Tingshen looked down at her, his eyes cruelly dark.
"Then who do you want to eat with?"
"I don’t care who I eat with, I just don’t want to eat with you! Let go of me!"
The more she struggled, the tighter Bo Tingshen’s grip became, making her powerless to resist.
"Bo Tingshen!" Ye Xian scowled, fury blazing in her eyes, "I know you don’t like me and want to strike back at me, but I’m already blacklisted by you, isn’t that enough? As for today, your family called insisting that I come over, dragging me here and not letting me leave. If you have someone to blame, blame them! And now, I’m leaving so that I won’t annoy you anymore. From here on, you go your way, I’ll go mine. We’re done!"
Bo Tingshen clenched her wrist and shoved her against the marble wall, a torrent of obsession churning in the depths of his clouded eyes, "Ye Xian, don’t you even think about it."
