CHAPTER 299: CHAPTER 279: MR. BAO, WANT A DRINK? I’LL JOIN YOU

But no matter what, Liang Pengbo could never say that out loud; who was standing before him? Mr. Bao of Bao Group.

Offending him would mean he could kiss his entertainment industry career goodbye.

Liang Pengbo understood this well and found an explanation for himself; maybe it was because Mr. Bao and Sister Jiang Ruan were good friends, which is why he was so concerned.

Yes, that must be it.

Liang Pengbo didn’t believe Bao Ye liked Jiang Ruan; after all, for so many years, the rumors had always been that the person Bao Ye loved was Su Wan.

The fact that he hadn’t married all these years was also because he was waiting for her to return.

Plus, during their time on the show, the two of them were especially distant.

If he really liked her, how could it be like that?

So Liang Pengbo directly dismissed this idea.

Bao Ye’s gaze swept over the two of them, his eyes extremely calm, but the coldness had faded considerably. He suddenly smiled and said, "Just kidding, why are you guys so tense?"

Being questioned, Jiang Ruan was speechless: "..."

Wasn’t it him making it feel like a cheating scene?

How could she not be nervous?

Yet now he’s playing the victim, how unfair.

Liang Pengbo relaxed: "So it was a joke, scared me to death."

"The rumors about me and Sister Jiang Ruan are wild enough, Mr. Bao, if you misunderstand too, even jumping into the Yellow River can’t clear my name."

Liang Pengbo’s voice had a youthful vibe, full of energy.

Seemed so innocent.

Bao Ye stared at him for a few seconds, his tone sharp: "Can’t be cleared even by jumping in the Yellow River?"

He sneered lightly: "You’re smarter than anyone else in your mind. If you really cared for her, you would have had your team clarify the rumors long ago. Would it have come to this?"

Bao Ye’s words didn’t beat around the bush at all.

He directly confronted Liang Pengbo.

Leaving Liang Pengbo red-faced and unable to utter a word, he could only angrily defend, "It’s not like that, I wanted to clarify, but my manager wouldn’t allow it."

Bao Ye replied coldly, "Ha."

Jiang Ruan watched the two confront each other, and instinctively reached out to tug on Bao Ye’s suit jacket, saying, "Bao Ye, that’s enough."

"No one wanted the rumors, it’s not just his fault."

Because not only did Liang Pengbo’s team not clarify it,

Sister Qin didn’t clarify it either.

Sister Qin’s exact words: If they want to hype a CP, let them hype it. After all, her and Bao Ye’s underground relationship, Bao Ye probably wouldn’t mind.

Jiang Ruan thought the same.

Over the years, she’s had rumors with many people.

Bao Ye never cared.

Somehow, this time he cared.

Liang Pengbo looked bitter, grateful as he turned to Jiang Ruan: "I’m sorry, Sister Jiang Ruan, I really tried, I didn’t want to spread those kinds of rumors with you, damaging your reputation. But I’ve just debuted, and I don’t have any say in the company, the manager did say to ride on your popularity."

Jiang Ruan: "It’s okay, no need to apologize to me, everyone is just doing it for the hype."

The two of them played off each other.

Bao Ye stared at them, his expression couldn’t be any darker, just at that moment the waiter arrived with the drinks.

Bao Ye picked up a glass and immediately downed it.

He drank especially fiercely.

That look, as if he was venting his anger into the drink.

Jiang Ruan felt tense; she couldn’t help but advise, "Don’t drink so fast."

But Bao Ye ignored her, and instead, looked coldly at Liang Pengbo: "Can you drink?"

Liang Pengbo nodded: "A little."

"A man who can’t drink is no different from a useless person," Bao Ye mocked coldly.

Hearing this, Liang Pengbo’s anger flared up.

Everyone has a temper.

"I can drink."

"Mr. Bao, do you want to drink? I’ll join you!"
