Ji Bo had never expected that Jing Yichen would use such a method.
But after a moment of careful contemplation, he realised that this was exactly Jing Yichen’s style. He often used standard methods and somehow they turned out to be excellent when he used them.
His phone kept ringing as if it would never stop.
Ji Bo stared at the screen with a terrible expression and tossed the phone aside when he caught sight of the caller – Aunt.
His family members kept calling him one after another and this time it was his aunt Ji Minyu. Ji Minjue had also called him a moment ago but he rejected all of them.
He got even more furious when he saw Yang Muyan sitting there calmly, busy painting her eyebrows.
Something weird was going on with this woman. She seemed to care about her appearance more and more. She kept doing her face day and night. Makeup did make her look better, but the minute she started to speak, her hoarse voice would undo everything.
“Can you stop painting your face? Family Ji is right now in the middle of the scandal because of you. Should you not think about some countermeasures to help the family? I can’t even answer the call let alone step out nor can I explain anything to them regarding your true identity.”
Ji Bo sounded sullen. He was feeling extremely irritated with her at the moment.
It had been a very risky move to marry Yang Muyan. Not only her identity but also the truth about Lan Yu’s murder was already exposed. Due to this, many people would start disassociating with Family Ji and many affairs of Family Ji’s Enterprise would be affected. It was easy to predict that in the days to come, the stock price of Family Jis’ Enterprise would drop tremendously.
But Yang Muyan was busy applying make-up sitting in front of the mirror.
She was obsessed with the exquisite face which stared back at her from the mirror.
She had never wanted to look at the mirror before, and used to smash everything that would reflect her silhouette. She detested everything that might make her notice her disgusting face.
But now she was in love with her reflection. She had never done any makeup before, so she was quite unfamiliar with the process. But she kept learning through the internet and had progressed rapidly.
Her face was no longer scarily pale, because she had learnt how to use the foundation, primer and blusher.
Yang Muyan turned her face towards Ji Bo when she heard his furious voice and said calmly, “It will be over soon. What are you so worried about?”
Why would you be worried? You are not the one who has to bear the pressure and losses.
Ji Bo was about to lash out at her but then controlled himself.
Being with her all this while, he knew pretty well that throwing temper at Yang Muyan didn’t help at all.
Ji Bo became increasingly furious, but he still tried to make himself sound normal. “It won’t be over so soon and if it’s not, you will have a tough time going out. No one knows that we are living here for the time being, but Jing Yichen is surely going to find out soon enough. Do you want all those journalists coming to this door?”
“Also, you won’t benefit if Family Ji goes through too many losses. The stronger Family Ji gets, the bigger protection it can offer to you. If every other family combines together to go against us, we will soon lose our ground and won’t be a match against Family Jing by that time. Do you want all of this to happen? We collaborated to improve the prospects of Family Ji and to extinguish Family Jing rather than causing Family Ji to die first!”
Some of Ji Bo’s words hit Yang Muyan. She suddenly stopped concentrating on her make-up and said hoarsely, “Okay, I will figure something out. For now, just let the media do what they want. Anything that we say to them at this moment will be misconstrued. You better don’t accept any interviews for the time being.”
Ji Bo knew that he was not going to take any interviews even if Yang Muyan had told him not to. What was he supposed to say? He could neither deny nor admit Yang Muyan’s identity.
Ji Bo had expected that Yang Muyan would instantly come up with an effective countermeasure, but it turned out that she had no way out either.
Had he expected too much out of this woman?
She always had ideas up her sleeve but compared to Jing Yichen, she was not that good. Maybe she exceeded Jing Yichen only in ruthlessness. She could do anything to achieve her goal.
Jing Yichen was also quite lethal, but he only treated his rivals in this manner. He would never take the lives of someone irrelevant.
Ji Bo’s heart was filled with complicated emotions. He stood up and walked out.
He didn’t want to spend even a single more moment in Yang Muyan’s company. As it is, he came to this villa to only spend the nights. Most of the time, he preferred to stay at the hotel.
But he didn’t dare return to the hotel right now because the journalists were on a lookout for him.
He thought for a second and decided to visit Jing Yiran instead.
But when he reached there, Ji Bo’s mood worsened.
Because he saw another woman whom he detested from the bottom of his heart – Tang Yun.
Thanks to Jing Yiran, Ji Bo had been dealing with Tang Yun in recent times. He truly believed that Tang Yun belonged to the same category of women as Ji Lili. The two of them didn’t just look like each other, but had the same temperament – they were both ignorant and conceited women who were worthy of being slapped hard on their faces.
Ji Bo did not understand why he kept running into only evil women. Why couldn’t he just meet someone like Shangguan Ning who never chased after what did not belong to her and who could be satisfied with something simple.
Was it really because people of the same type hung out together, so Ji Bo could only be with those who were similar to him?
Jing Yiran had not yet recovered. He was lying in the bed whilst a tearful Tang Yun was sitting on the chair by his bedside.
“Ha, our most conspicuous Master Ji is here!” Jing Yiran sounded cheerful, maybe because Tang Yun had been tormented by Jing Yichen or maybe because Ji Bo had been tormented by Jing Yichen.
“Where is your two-faced wife? I didn’t see her clearly the last time I met her. But I didn’t expect her to be such a famous lady of Family Yang. I apologize in case I caused any disrespect. I have huge admiration for the woman who managed to escape my father’s men!”
This was the last topic Ji Bo wanted to talk about.
But Jing Yiran only liked starting the topics that made others uncomfortable. He should have known that Jing Yiran was fond of hurting others. The more pain people were in, the more excited he got. He was a heartless and a crazy guy.
Coming to Jing Yiran was simply seeking trouble.
But between the two, tolerating Jing Yiran was much better than facing Yang Muyan.
