Chapter 130 Rong Zhi, I'm not afraid of you

Sang Yuwan's heart trembled, and a doubt welled up, gradually growing larger and spreading into a vast expanse of clouds.

Rong Zhi paused slightly, then said, "I'm leaving."

Sang Yuwan had never seen him so dejected. Her heart was in turmoil, and she blurted out, "Rong Zhi, I'm not afraid of you."

Rong Zhi was taken aback.

Sang Yuwan tilted her head slightly and said, "I pushed you away not because I was afraid of you, but because our encounter was destined to be absurd and fruitless."

Rong Zhi's heart clenched, the tearing pain jolting him awake. He took a deep breath, his brow furrowing slightly, and smiled. "Who said there's no outcome?"

Sang Yuwan's heart skipped a beat, her pupils widening. "What did you say?"

Rong Zhi suppressed his emotions and smiled, "Get some rest. Goodnight."

Before Sang Yuwan could speak again, he turned around and walked away.

After a while, Sang Yuwan finally picked up the hairdryer and continued drying her hair.

Rong Zhi's words kept echoing in my ears.

"Is he really drunk? He doesn't smell of alcohol at all."

"He said that Bo Yuanshan adopted him so that he could become Bo Xingzhi's stand-in. Why would Bo Xingzhi need a stand-in?"

"And also, his attitude towards me..."

For a moment, Sang Yuwan was in a state of utter confusion, unable to sort out her thoughts.

I might as well stop thinking about it.

Sometimes, letting things take their natural course can lead to the answer more quickly.

-

Time flies like an arrow; it passes in the blink of an eye.

More than forty days have passed since Bo Xingzhi's death, and Sang Yuwan holds considerable power, his position becoming increasingly secure. This applies to both the Bo family and the Bo clan.

As the head of the family, she used both kindness and severity, which quieted Bo Yuheng and Bo Hanshan down considerably. As for Ning Xin'er, she hasn't made any moves during this time either.

Everything seemed calm and peaceful.

As the president of the Bo Group, she acted decisively, replacing many people. However, the group's operations remained remarkably stable.

In terms of ability and methods, she is in no way inferior to Bo Xingzhi.

She and Rong Zhi have rarely seen each other recently. Apart from the necessary routine meetings, Rong Zhi basically doesn't come to see her. In private, the two have absolutely no interaction.

Such a change made Minglang feel that something was not right.

As the saying goes, an outsider's perspective is often clearer; both he and Xiansi could see that Rong Zhi had feelings for Sang Yuwancun.

They also knew that the two had once had a close relationship.

Rong Zhi changed his attitude from before and became distant from Sang Yuwan. No one knows why.

That day, near the end of the workday, Minglang gave Sang Yuwan an invitation.

"Madam, the eldest young master sent it over."

Sang Yuwan's brow furrowed slightly as she looked away from the computer screen.

The red and gold invitation card was gently opened.

An invitation handwritten by Mingxiao himself.

On Mingyu's sixtieth birthday, as his eldest son, he sincerely invited her to attend the birthday banquet at the Ming family home.

Sang Yuwan smiled and said, "Big brother always does things so well."

Minglang chimed in, "Yes. If it weren't for the young master's poor health, he would undoubtedly be the heir to the Ming family."

Sang Yuwan's expression tightened, and her face instantly turned serious. "You are not allowed to say such things again."

Minglang's face paled slightly, and he lowered his head. "Madam, I have overstepped my bounds."

Sang Yuwan's expression was cold. "Have you prepared all the gifts I asked you to?"

"Everything is ready," Minglang said respectfully.

Sang Yuwan's expression softened slightly, and just as she was about to speak, Xiansi knocked on the door and came in.

"Madam, you must go and see. President Rong and President Ji are about to start fighting."

"President Rong and President Ji?" Sang Yuwan looked up, her brows furrowed. "What's going on?"

“It looks like a land deed,” Xuan Si replied.

Sang Yuwan was slightly taken aback. "That piece of land in Xixi?"

Xiansi looked uneasy. "It seems so."

Sang Yuwan put the invitation into the drawer, got up, and went to Ji Xiao's office.

After exiting the elevator, turn right; the largest office is there.

Logically, Ji Xiao's office should be upstairs, but Sang Yuwan gave Rong Zhi the room that Bo Xingzhi used.

Many people in the group were talking about it behind their backs.

Although Ji Xiao had more power than Rong Zhi, his status was far inferior to Rong Zhi's.

They also said that the chairman's move, though seemingly unfair, was actually quite clever.

As Sang Yuwan approached Ji Xiao's office, she heard the angry sounds of arguing.

"President Rong, am I the president, or are you the president?"

"I'm just doing my job."

"What a fine example of 'business as usual.' All the procedures were completed, yet you forcibly rejected it. What kind of logic is that?"

"Is Mr. Ji dissatisfied?"

"President Rong, the Bo Group is not the private property of the Bo family..."

Before Ji Xiao could finish speaking, Sang Yuwan pushed open the door and went inside.

Both men turned their heads and looked over at the same time.

The setting sun shone through the glass window, casting its last rays.

The two of them were coated with a layer of fine gold light.

Ji Xiao's chest rose and fell slightly, his gentle brows furrowing slightly. "Chairman."

Rong Zhi, standing to the side, had a cold expression, his deep features radiating icy chill. He glanced at Sang Yuwan and said coldly, "President Ji, are you calling for reinforcements?"

Ji Xiao's expression froze slightly, and he took two deep breaths. "I trust the chairman's judgment."

Rong Zhi's lips twitched, his expression growing increasingly cold.

Sang Yuwan walked up to them, her lips pursed, her sharp gaze sweeping over their faces. "I could hear you arguing from far away. As senior executives of the group, what kind of behavior is this? Can't you talk things out properly?"

Ji Xiao swallowed hard and explained gently, "Chairman, I didn't control my emotions well. I'm willing to accept the punishment."

"Heh." Rong Zhi let out a cold laugh. "President Ji, if you had this attitude just now, would I have bothered arguing with you?"

Ji Xiao's fingers tightened slightly. "It's because President Rong is being too aggressive."

"President Ji, you're even complaining now," President Rong said sarcastically.

Ji Xiao's ears turned red, and he pressed his fingertips against his palm. "I'm just telling the truth."

The sneer on President Rong's lips deepened, and sparks flickered in his dark eyes.

Sang Yuwan had already felt that he had been acting strangely these past few days, and today's incident made her even more puzzled.

Ji Xiao has a gentle personality and a mild work style. In addition, he has just taken office and it is impossible for him to provoke Rong Zhi.

"President Rong, come out with me." Sang Yuwan's tone was stern and left no room for argument.

The frost on Rong Zhi's face deepened.

Sang Yuwan then said to Ji Xiao, "President Ji, I'll talk to you again later."

Ji Xiao nodded. "Yes."

Sang Yuwan walked out with a dignified expression.

Rong Zhi reached out and took the documents from the desk. "President Ji, we'll see."

Ji Xiao showed no fear, even raising an eyebrow and smiling, "President Rong, I'll be waiting."

After leaving Ji Xiao's office, Sang Yuwan did not return to the 68th floor, but went to the top floor instead.

Large single-level apartment.

It features a simple golf course.

She picked up a cue stick and walked to the tee box.

Rong Zhi strode over, grabbed the golf club, and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to do?"

Sang Yuwan slightly lifted her eyelids, her tone mocking, "Can't you tell what I want to do?"

Rong Zhi's chest heaved slightly. "You're pregnant; strenuous exercise isn't advisable."

Sang Yuwan gave a cold laugh, "So you know I'm pregnant."

Rong Zhi's breath hitched, and his fingers loosened slightly. "You think I'm deliberately causing trouble for Ji Xiao?"
