Chapter 37

Qi Yu looked toward Bo Yunli confidently. “Big Brother Yunli, I heard from my father that you haven’t given the green light to Qi Corporation and Bo Corporation’s partnership. If you’re free later, I can discuss things with you in your study…”

Bo Yunli had just witnessed his investment talents, so he should now agree to work with Qi Corporation with an ease of mind, right?

But after he said that, Bo Yunli did not reply. He did not even spare him a glance.

Qi Yu looked in the direction of Bo Yunli’s gaze and discovered that he was looking at Su Ye.

In truth, Bo Yunli himself did not notice that he had been staring at Su Ye for a while or that the cold look in his gaze had melted away like ice.

When did it start?

Perhaps it was from the moment she gasped at the 300,000 RMB.

Lu Wenbin and Lin Zhan had once helped him investigate Su Ye, so he knew that she once courted Qi Yu with great vigor.

.

Even though the Qi family could be considered as a distinguished family in Imperial City, Bo Yunli did not remember Qi Yu at all.

When he sat down, he had discreetly observed Qi Yu.

Average. Too average.

When compared to Bo Yunli himself, they were worlds apart.

“Big Brother Yunli?” Qi Yu called him again.

It was only then that Bo Yunli looked away and grabbed his cutlery again. “We won’t be talking business today,” he said calmly.

The prideful look on Qi Yu’s face froze abruptly.

He was… rejected?

But they were talking about business matters with the major bosses in the courtyard just now, right? Why was he refusing to talk about those things with him? That shouldn’t happen?

“Big Brother Yunli, the Qi Corporation is really sincere—”

Bo Yunli’s tone grew increasingly colder. “I won’t repeat what I said.”

An imposing aura descended on Qi Yu, and he instantly fell silent. As if he was shocked, he lowered his head and tightened his grip around his knife.

Bo Yunli then cast a seemingly casual glance at Su Ye. She had long since shifted her attention to the new food the servants brought out and did not show any reaction to Qi Yu’s embarrassment. She did not seem to be worried about him at all.

Bo Yunli’s lips curled up subtly.

Ever since Qi Yu came, he ran into all sorts of walls, and Rong Ruo was beginning to regret coming with him.

She grabbed the hem of Qi Yu’s shirt and shook it a little, then spoke at a volume that only he could hear to give him a reminder. “Big Brother Yunli isn’t in a good mood today. If it were any other day, he would definitely not show you such disrespect.”

“In a bad mood?” Qi Yu cast her a puzzled look.

Rong Ruo pointed in Su Ye’s direction. “Look, he has been sitting next to Su Ye all day today. You know what Su Ye has done, but he still has to pretend that nothing happened in front of Grandpa Bo, so he’s definitely not in a good mood.”

After that reminder, Qi Yu finally remembered his most important goal for coming to the birthday party.

If he told Master Bo the truth in front of everyone and helped Bo Yunli get rid of that mad woman, Bo Yunli would definitely be grateful to him. At that time, he would not have to be worried about not being able to work with him.

“Master Bo, in truth, I have something else to tell you today.”

When Qi Yu summoned his courage to speak, Bo Zhan was picking food for Su Ye. The moment he heard this, he cast him a glance.

“You were deceived by Su Ye! Honestly, Big Brother Yunli has long since wanted to cancel his engagement with her!” Qi Yu with a bit of agitation.

When Bo Zhan heard the words “cancel engagement”, his hands froze in the air.

At the same time, Bo Yunli cast a cold glance at Qi Yu. The warning there was so intimidating that Qi Yu suddenly wanted to stop what he was doing.

But the next second, when he thought that Bo Yunli was venting his anger on him because of Su Ye, his hate for Su Ye reached the top.

He looked at Bo Yunli earnestly. “Big Brother Yunli, as long as you let Master Bo know what sort of person Su Ye is, he will definitely not blame you for canceling the engagement! You won’t say it because you’re magnanimous, so I’ll help you!”

Bo Zhan’s gaze on Qi Yu instantly became really fierce. “What exactly do you want to say?”

Qi Yu pointed at Su Ye and said firmly, “Master Bo, Su Ye used despicable methods and drugged Big Brother Yunli just so she could become his wife!”

He looked at the shocked crowd and added, “I’m telling all of you the truth!”

Drugs? After a moment of strange silence, the ladies looked at the protagonist of this scandal—Su Ye.

They had not expected to hear such a major story at Master Bo’s birthday party!

But to their surprise, Su Ye looked calm, as if the person Qi Yu mentioned was not her.

Even the victim, Bo Yunli, appeared calm. He just used his finger to tap against the table rhythmically.

Bo Zhan alone became much more solemn. The kindly look he usually had disappeared, and he looked at Bo Yunli coldly. “Is what he said true?”

For a period of time, the air turned as cold as ice.

The ladies quickly tried to mediate the situation. “Master Bo, don’t be angry. Your health is more important.”

Rong Ruo made use of the chance and said, “Ye Ye, no matter what, you’re the one at fault here. Hurry up and explain things to Grandpa Bo.”

Su Ye cast a glance at the couple, speechless. So, this was what she had been planning with Hu Xiuli that day in the Su family’s courtyard? How utterly disappointing.

She originally thought that Rong Ruo’s grandfather, Rong Shengming, would come to the party, but he did not, so that was a pity, and there was just no fun playing with youngsters. Su Ye was just not interested at all.

Bo Zhan’s body was finally getting better, and these people chose this time to cause trouble? How stupid. There was no need for her to even do anything. A certain someone was even more worried than her about Bo Zhan’s condition, after all.

With that thought, she cast Bo Yunli a glance, and Bo Yunli sighed. He looked up at Qi Yu and said impatiently, “You said that Su Ye drugged me. Did you see it?”

Qi Yu was slightly stunned. “Big Brother Yunli, what’s the meaning of that question? You should know whether she drugged you or not. A waiter from Royal Club saw Su Ye running out while crying, and he also saw you—”

Qi Yu did his best to describe the situation at that time in the most decent fashion, considering the occasion. Yet even so, the ladies still blushed and felt restless when they heard it.

Bo Zhan slammed a hand against the table, and Qi Yu instantly cowered.

“Yunli, Ye Ye, did you go to Royal Club that day?”

Bo Yunli answered calmly, “We did.”

Bo Zhan cradled his chest and said slowly, “So, what the waiter saw was real. Ye Ye, you really—”

“What the waiter saw was real.” Before he finished speaking, Bo Yunli cut him off. “But…”

But?

The people looked at Bo Yunli, and even Su Ye was a little curious as to what lie he was going to spin to cover this up so that Bo Zhan would feel at ease.

Bo Yunli moved his lips a little. A hint of resignation flowed into his cold eyes, and the next second, he spoke in a cold, grave tone. “But Su Ye did not drug me. That day, I was a little too eager…”

He cleared his throat a little and continued, “Su Ye ran out because… she wasn’t ready yet.”
