Chapter 2: Thank you for not taking her innocence.
Reading Settings
The man paused slightly, turned around, and his dark eyes were filled with coldness. "Madam Bo, until we meet again."
Sang Yuwan's expression changed drastically as she watched his departing figure.
Half an hour later.
She left the Grand Hotel and went to Canglan Villa, where her husband Bo Xingzhi had the accident.
"Madam, the public relations document has been drafted. Please take a look." The assistant handed her the tablet.
Sang Yuwan didn't answer, but frowned and quickly glanced at the message. Suppressing her shame and indignation, she said coldly, "Post it later."
"Yes." The assistant nodded.
Sang Yuwan took a sip of coffee and asked again, "Has the confidentiality agreement been signed?"
“It’s all signed. I had Minglang send Gu Jingheng to a brothel and bribed a prostitute. She will testify that Secretary Gu died under her influence.”
Assistant Xiansi had been with Sang Yuwan for three years and was personally trained by her. She was reliable and had strong execution skills.
Sang Yuwan put down her coffee cup, closed her eyes, and pressed her aching brow bone. Her thick, drooping eyelashes concealed the dark circles under her eyes.
"Didn't you sleep well last night, Madam?" Xian Si asked.
Sang Yuwan pursed her red lips tightly, letting out a low "Mmm".
Images of her passionate encounter with the man stumbled through her mind. Instantly, it felt as if silver needles pierced her temples, and her blush faded by two shades.
Xiansi, with her sharp eyes, noticed that she, who always favored solid-colored business suits, was wearing a beige Chanel-style dress today, complete with a luxury brand scarf around her neck. She couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Has Madam changed her style today?"
Sang Yuwan's heart skipped a beat.
Everything she wore, inside and out, was given to her by that man. She had rushed over and changed without thinking much. Even the silk scarf that covered the hickeys was something he had prepared.
The man had a keen eye; he picked out clothes in her size, even her underwear was perfectly accurate. His measurements were so precise; he must have been with countless women.
What's even more terrifying is that, to this day, she still hasn't found out his identity.
The hotel's surveillance footage from last night was deliberately deleted and cannot be recovered.
No information was found regarding the man's stay.
Sang Yuwan judged that this person was most likely arranged by Bo Xingzhi.
As for the purpose, it is very likely to obtain evidence of her infidelity and force her to accept the status of a wife of a gay man.
Seeing that she seemed a little distracted, Xian Si's heart tightened, and she lowered her voice, "Madam, shall we go see Master Bo?"
Sang Yuwan's breath hitched, and she clenched her fingers. "Out of sight. Disgusting."
Even the deepest feelings vanish the moment the truth is revealed.
Everything she does now is for the Bo family and the "Bo Group".
After a while, Xiansi's ears turned red, and he handed her a marriage certificate. "Madam, take a look at this."
Sang Yuwan's eyelids twitched slightly. She took the book and opened it. Her pupils contracted sharply, and her face instantly paled.
Where did you find it?
Xian Si was filled with anxiety. "It's in Mr. Bo's briefcase."
Sang Yuwan suddenly stood up, knocking over her coffee cup. Coffee stains splattered all over her skirt.
Xiansi hurriedly pulled out a tissue and wiped her face.
"Stop it." Sang Yuwan suppressed her anger. "Besides you, who else has seen this thing?"
Xian Si shook his head. "No one saw it except me."
Looking at the marriage certificate, Sang Yuwan felt a surge of emotions, and her whole body trembled.
Xian Si's heart clenched, "Madam, please don't be sad..."
“What do I have to be sad about?” Sang Yuwan’s face darkened, and she interrupted angrily.
"You don't hate Master Bo..." Xian Si asked timidly.
"Hate?" Sang Yuwan curled her lips into a cold laugh. "I'm more than grateful to him."
She was grateful that he did not "against his conscience" take away her innocence.
That would make her even more devastated.
Xiansi assumed that she was just angry, which was why she said those words.
Sang Yuwan sat down again, staring at the photo on the marriage certificate, a large, mocking smile forming on her lips.
"Gu Jingheng is his proper wife."
“Madam, you are Mr. Bo’s chosen daughter-in-law. Even if they get a marriage certificate abroad, it’s not respectable. The Bo family only recognizes you as Mr. Bo’s wife.”
“Wife? Ha.” Sang Yuwan felt a chill run through her body, pursed her lips, and forced a bitter laugh.
Are wives of gay men considered wives?
At that moment, she finally understood why Bo Xingzhi had only held a simple wedding ceremony with her instead of getting a marriage certificate.
It turns out that the person he wanted to marry was never her, but his male secretary, Gu Jingheng.
That wedding was entirely staged for other people.
He needs a woman to openly conceal his penchant for male beauty.
She is even more pathetic than those wealthy wives who married without love.
At least, they still have a legitimate status and can have their own children.
She holds the title of Mrs. Bo in name only; she has nothing to show for it.
Forget about romantic love, there isn't even a legally recognized "marital relationship."
This marriage was a joke.
Looking at the registration date on the marriage certificate, Sang Yuwan felt as if her heart was being pierced by needles, and a faint redness appeared at the corners of her eyes.
That day, as soon as the wedding ended, Bo Xingzhi immediately flew abroad, saying it was to discuss cooperation.
Unexpectedly, he was in a hurry to register his marriage with Gu Jingheng.
In that country, same-sex marriage is not only permitted but also legally recognized.
Moreover, once the marriage certificate is obtained, divorce is not allowed.
Bo Xingzhi is truly head over heels in love with Gu Jingheng.
Sang Yuwan's chest heaved violently, her eyes filled with resentment. "Lighter."
The assistant handed it to her.
The next second, the edges of the marriage certificate curled slightly, and the flames changed from orange-yellow to blazing red, quickly bursting into flames.
Just as the cigarette was about to burn Sang Yuwan's fingers, her assistant snatched it away and threw it into the ashtray.
The flames gradually died down, and the marriage certificate turned to ashes.
-
Six o'clock in the afternoon.
The official website of the "Bo Group" was completely darkened, and the president's office released an obituary.
"Mr. Bo Xingzhi, Chairman of the Group, suffered a sudden heart attack and passed away despite medical treatment. He was 34 years old. Mrs. Bo is devastated and has decided to keep his body in state for seven days before holding the funeral..."
The news caused an uproar.
The Bo family was even more shocked.
Upon hearing this devastating news, Bo Xingzhi's mother fainted on the spot.
The memorial hall for Bo Xingzhi was set up in the old Bo family residence, and the funeral rites were of the highest standard. The crystal coffin used for the body to be laid to rest cost seven figures.
As the most prestigious family in Jiangcheng, the number of guests coming to pay their respects was endless.
As the widow, Sang Yuwan kept thanking them, until she was so tired she could barely straighten her back.
Seeing this, Xiansi brought her a chair so she could rest for a while when no one was around.
"How's the matter I asked you to do?" Sang Yuwan rubbed her aching lower back and asked in a low voice.
Xiansi looked around, bent down, and whispered in her ear, "Madam, I have checked all the surveillance footage of the Shengshi Hotel and the surrounding area over the past month, but I haven't found the person you are looking for."
Sang Yuwan had no doubt about her competence.
Hearing this, her heart sank slightly, and her pretty face turned frosty.
Who exactly is that man, this elusive and mysterious figure? We've investigated for so long, yet there's still no progress.
Regardless of whether it was arranged by Bo Xingzhi or not, he is an extremely dangerous landmine.
Once detonated, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Seeing her cold and gloomy expression, Xian Si hurriedly added, "Madam, I will expand the search area and search the entire city."
At that moment, a commotion arose outside the hall, and a large crowd surged into the mourning hall.
Leading the group were Bo Xingzhi's second uncle, Bo Yuheng, and third uncle, Bo Hanshan.
“Niece-in-law, Xingzhi’s funeral is tomorrow, and some things can’t be delayed any longer.” Bo Hanshan rushed to Sang Yuwan and took the initiative to speak.
