CHAPTER 915: CHAPTER 725: LIKING YOU SINCE THE FIRST GLANCE 66

Pei Rong tightly clasped her hands, a hint of resentment and unwillingness on her face, "Bo Qin, don’t push your luck. I’m giving you face because..."

Bo Qin interrupted her, "No need to give me face, I don’t need it. Moreover, the account we need to settle now, is where I don’t give you face, nor the Pei Family any face."

The high and mighty look on Pei Rong’s face finally crumbled. She concealed the shock, anger, and embarrassment on her face, no longer ordering her people to stop Zhao Linlin and the others. Zhao Linlin led Lin Ye forward.

After a few steps, Zhao Linlin turned her head to look at Bo Qin, "By the way, Mr. Bo, Jian Dan said she couldn’t reach you before, and asked us to follow up. Since you were unavailable yesterday, I didn’t mention it."

The icy, frost-like expression on Bo Qin’s face melted away immediately.

A touch of softness crept up his cheeks, warming and softening Bo Qin’s otherwise cold features.

Zhao Linlin was incredibly shocked as she then heard Bo Qin’s softened tone, "I understand, thank you."

Zhao Linlin shook her head, "No need."

Fortunately, the stupid photos Pei Rong presented only showed the edited image of Lin Ye carrying Bo Qin away. If it had included Jian Dan, it would have been hard to explain. Luckily, Pei Rong’s foolishness won Zhao Linlin’s favor here.

Even scattered photos on the ground had no effect.

Pei Rong didn’t recognize the Jian Dan they mentioned, so she naturally didn’t realize that the girl appeared in the photos she had seen. Only a fleeting look of jealousy flashed in her eyes.

This Jian Dan must be someone very special to Bo Qin; otherwise, Bo Qin wouldn’t have such a spoiled expression.

She clenched her fists tightly, watching helplessly as Zhao Linlin and Lin Ye disappeared from sight. The space fell silent again, as Pei Rong stared at Bo Qin, waiting for him to speak first.

Bo Qin slowly raised his eyes, the softness on his face completely gone, his gaze at her was cold and disdainful. Pei Rong’s heart thudded, a wave of unease spreading swiftly from her feet throughout her whole body.

She wanted to say something, but her throat was blocked, and she couldn’t utter a word, merely confronting Bo Qin helplessly from a distance.

Silence prevailed.

Bo Qin spoke first, "Miss Pei, I never expected this kind of treatment from the Pei Family here in Fengcheng. Coincidentally, I’ll give the Pei Family some unexpected treatment in the business world as well. I hope the Pei Family can take it well. I’m concerned I won’t do it well enough and will need your feedback."

Pei Rong’s heart plummeted to the depths of an ice cellar.

Her whole body stiffened, her blood freezing.

How could she not understand the implication behind Bo Qin’s words? Bo Qin had never intended to leave the Pei Family a way out in the business world, basically planning on wiping them out.

"Bo Qin, you can’t..."

She anxiously wanted to say something but, after uttering a few words, didn’t know how to continue or what exactly to say; what couldn’t he do?

Could she make Bo Qin listen to her?

Certainly not, the idea of Bo Qin taking someone else’s opinion was simply absurd. Besides, Bo Qin was not known for having a good temper; he was too ruthless. That’s why she wanted to take a desperate gamble and force things, which ended up being exploited.

Bo Qin sneered, "No one can order me what to do or not to do. Since your Pei Family made the first move, don’t blame me for striking back."

With those words, Bo Qin didn’t bother with Pei Rong any longer and turned to leave, his people also quickly and orderly withdrawing.

In the empty parking lot, only Pei Rong and her people were left. Pei Rong stood firm for a long time, nearly collapsing. Two bodyguards rushed to support her, "Miss Pei."

Pei Rong, momentarily dazed, quickly grasped the bodyguard’s arm, "Let’s go back, back to the Pei Family."

For some reason, she felt certain that Bo Qin must have headed for the Pei Family to settle accounts.

The bodyguards dared not disobey her orders and hurriedly helped her into the car, driving away immediately.

...

The cancellation of all collaboration between the Bo Group and the Pei Family in Fengcheng was no small matter, causing disturbances even at the top levels. No one could understand why Bo Qin suddenly made such a decision. Among them, Mrs. Bo was most surprised, as the company had been handed from her to her son. Before her son took over as chairman, she managed the company, but now...

To put it plainly, her son was bold, with high skills and whatever he needed at his disposal, but such a swift, clean cut was rare.

Hearing the news coming from the company, she felt a bit emotional and surprised.

After all, to Bo Qin, the elder of the Pei Family was still a respected elder. Taking such a below-the-board move was not typical of her son’s style.
