In a small sized villa in the UK, Ji Bo was lying in bed with a pale face. His face turned whiter when he caught sight of the ironic expression in the woman’s eyes, standing in front of him.
“I knew that you still have feelings for that woman.”
Yang Muyan looked down at Ji Bo from a commanding view and teased Ji Bo in her hoarse voice. “She is married and pregnant. I never expected that you would have such a different taste!”
Ji Bo burst out instantly. “Shut up!”
“Turning against me so fast?” Yang Muyan said softly as a patch of coldness hovered over her face. “Why didn’t you say so when you called me and asked me for help. Now you are alive and strong enough, you dare to shout at me?”
Rage disappeared from his face when Ji Bo heard her words. He calmed down, gradually.
Seeing him wither, Yang Muyan continued coldly, “You owe me your life and from now on, you have no standing to bargain with me. Do as I tell you to and if you don’t, return the life plus interest back to me.”
She sounded so conceited, almost as if she didn’t regard Ji Bo as a human being. The proud and arrogant Ji Bo had never been humiliated in this way.
It was this woman who continuously stomped on his self-esteem.
There was a time when this woman had bent down on her knees and asked him to take her in and collaborate with him.
At that time, Family Yang had just been destroyed. Yang Muyan, who had escaped from the bombing, was weak and hideous.
Ji Bo agreed to take her in and collaborate with her because he had laid his eyes upon the resources she had in her hands. Her hatred towards Family Jing had also been a plus. But whatever the motivation, he had spared Yang Muyan’s life.
But as Yang Muyan grew rapidly, she became over confident and conceited, showing off her originally twisted reality.
At this moment, she regarded him as a slave and talked with him, the deputy president of Family Ji’s Enterprise, and the Master of Family Ji, in such an arrogant way!
But the strange thing was that Ji Bo found himself lacking any rage. No one except for Jing Yichen could annoy him or make him lose control.
Or maybe it was because he didn’t think that Yang Muyan could show up in public, yet!
She was just a scary woman. She would never be able to win the respect of Ji Bo.
Jing Yichen was not a good man, either. He was a murderer. But he was a man with principles and responsibilities and most of the time, he was forthright.
With his face in the shadow, Ji Bo spoke with determination.
“Yang Muyan, don’t think too highly of yourself. You can’t afford my life. Family Jing is at the top, followed by Family Ji. Your family comes much after that. Family Ji is not as simple as you think. You better collaborate with me instead of thinking about controlling me. It is never going to happen.”
A touch of fierceness flashed across Yang Muyan’s eyes. She could sense the determination in Ji Bo’s tone, so she had no choice but to press down the desire of manipulation inside her heart right now.
It was okay. She didn’t need to hurry. Sooner or later, Ji Bo would obey her!
The most important mission at the moment was to crush Family Jing. She was going to exterminate all of Family Jing’s wings, in case some faithful followers took revenge from her, later. For that, she needed Ji Bo and Family Ji’s help during the period.
She was an extremely smart woman who was good at finding others’ weaknesses.
“I saved your life and you are not only ungrateful but also threatening me. Aren’t you worried that I will not save you next time? You are still thinking about someone else’s wife. You would rather lose your own life for her sake. Had it not been for her, your life would not have been mine.”
Yang Muyan had buried her truest meaning between the lines by saying such an obscure sentence. She was waiting for Ji Bo to get hooked.
Ji Bo was not as good as Yang Muyan when it came to conspiracies. Also, he didn’t care about what Yang Muyan truly wanted.
He was in the same boat as Yang Muyan and only by combining their forces would they be able to beat Jing Yichen.
Most importantly, he didn’t want Yang Muyan to touch Shangguan Ning.
“No, you are wrong. I am alive because of her!” Ji Bo sounded poised. It was hard to tell if he was cheerful or displeased. He was now getting good at hiding his emotions.
“If it had not been her, I would have lost my life.”
Yang Muyan had no idea what happened exactly back then. But Ji Bo did.
If Shangguan Ning had not cried out, the bullet would definitely have hit his heart and he would have died right away.
Shangguan Rouxue was the case in point here.
Jing Yichen was so skilled at shooting that he could hit a target accurately even if he was hundreds of meters away from it.
It was said that when Jing Yichen was going through the training at the royal military school, he established many records which hadn’t been broken till date. He was a natural born shooter.
Jing Yichen couldn’t have possibly mishit the target which meant that he spared his life.
And that was because Shangguan Ning cried out and asked him not to shoot.
But the reason why Shangguan Ning defended him was because he had protected her.
If he had treated her like Shangguan Rouxue did, Jing Yichen would have sent him to death, no matter what.
“Ha, so, Shangguan Ning is your savior, now? Then all my efforts have been in vain. If I had known what you were thinking, I would not have brought you here for treatment. I should have let you bleed to death!”
“You are different from her. She saved me but wanted nothing from me. You saved me because you want everything. You will lose the support if I die and it will be bad for your vengeance.”
Yang Muyan smirked. She was satisfied.
Just as she had expected, Ji Bo truly had deep fondness for Shangguan Ning.
She had wasted too much time talking with him about these useless things. Luckily, she had got what she needed and was not going to discuss anything more.
After getting what she needed, she turned around and started to walk outwards.
As she reached the door, she suddenly turned her head. “Oh, I almost forgot to give you a piece of good news. I have got Jing Yiran to work at Family Ji’s Enterprise. He has been given the position of Deputy President!”
