Out of control and sinking

Chapter 55 Are You Jealous?

Screams echoed throughout the private room. Rong Cheng lay on the ground, grimacing, clutching his aching back and remaining motionless.

No one in the private room went to help him.

Bai Yi just kept drinking, pretending not to see anything.

He has no time to fawn over this kind of person.

The director looked at Bo Ye: "Mr. Bo, this..."

Even if the director is in the right, he can't explain himself after he fell like that at his bar.

Rong Cheng is no ordinary person; he's a bureau chief.

The director needs to find a safe haven for himself quickly, lest Rong Cheng cause him trouble when he sobers up, which would be a very bad situation.

Bo Ye's magnetic voice rang out, like that of a savior: "Call an ambulance for him."

Director: "Yes, yes."

Then I quickly made a phone call.

Soon, an ambulance arrived and took Rongcheng, who was groaning on the ground, away.

From beginning to end, Li Xin didn't go over to take a single look.

Jiang Ruan withdrew her gaze, raising an eyebrow. This person was quite aloof.

That makes sense, isn't Li Xin always been that kind of person?

Bo Ye stood up beside him, his tall, slender figure straight and languid. He put one hand in his pocket, his dark eyes sweeping over everyone in the private room. He said in a light tone, "Director Rong has had too much to drink. He will take full responsibility for whatever he says or does. It has nothing to do with any of you."

"Everyone can leave now."

As soon as he said that, the artists in the private room quickly grabbed their things and left.

That night.

This is really frustrating.

However, they did get to watch a real show. It was one thing for Rong Cheng to talk about President Bo, but he even dared to talk about the mayor.

That's the mayor of Beijing, not just some bureau chief who can say whatever he wants. That's called insubordination.

The mayor left in anger, and Rong Cheng's future is definitely going to be tough.

But he deserved it.

The director left with the ambulance; after all, it was the director who hosted the drinking party, and Rong Cheng couldn't afford to get hurt there.

Just as Bo Ye was about to leave, Bai Yi's gentle voice came from behind: "Jiang Ruan, let me take you home."

The man stopped abruptly, a cold glint flashing in his dark eyes. He turned to look at Jiang Ruan, who was smiling radiantly.

The two of them standing together looked incredibly well-matched.

Thinking about all the rumors about the two of them online lately, they seem like a perfect couple.

Bo Ye's expression turned cold again.

My chest feels tight.

Jiang Ruan replied with a smile, "No need, Brother Bai Yi, I've already called a car, it's already waiting."

"It's getting late, Brother Bai Yi, you should head back early too. I'll treat you to dinner another time when you're free."

"OK then."

"Then let's meet another day."

Hearing her refusal, Bo Ye's anger subsided considerably, but then he thought about inviting her to dinner again.
Bo Ye snorted coldly in his heart and strode away from the private room.

Jiang Ruan caught a glimpse of the man leaving out of the corner of her eye, then looked away, wondering if it was really a coincidence that Bo Ye and Mayor Zou had suddenly arrived tonight.

If so, that would be such a coincidence.

It was clear that the two of them had been targeting Rong Cheng from the moment they came in, especially Bo Ye.

Mayor Zou also helped him.

If Jiang Ruan still can't see it, then she really is a fool.

Also, when did the director meet Mayor Zou? When did he meet Bo Ye? How come she didn't know?

Jiang Ruan's expression was a bit strange.

Bai Yi's concerned voice came from beside her: "What's wrong, Jiang Ruan?"

Jiang Ruan looked up: "Huh?"

"Are you still upset about Rong Cheng's words?" Bai Yi asked. "Jiang Ruan, did you really not have any past grievances with him?"

Jiang Ruan shook her head: "No, this is the first time I've met him."

"Then you need to be careful of the people in this private room," Bai Yi said astutely. "There might be a reason why he's targeting you like this. The entertainment industry is a complex place, and many people have extensive networks of connections. No matter what the method, getting involved with someone could mean offending the people behind them. Do you understand what I mean?"

Jiang Ruan's dark eyes were filled with complex emotions as she nodded, "I understand, Brother Bai Yi."

"Don't take his words to heart. As an actor, the most basic quality is to ignore other people's opinions, do your best, and have a clear conscience."

After saying that, Bai Yi glanced at his watch and said, "Alright, it's getting late, I'll head back now."

Jiang Ruan smiled and said, "Okay, goodbye, Brother Bai Yi."

Just as Bai Yi was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and said to her, "Be careful of Li Xin lately; she's acting a bit strange tonight."

"If I'm not mistaken, she might have some kind of relationship with Rong Cheng."

Bai Yi said in a serious tone.

After saying that, he gave her a deep look and then left.

Jiang Ruan, left with a bewildered expression, watched Bai Yi's retreating figure, and a slight twitch appeared on her lips.

So Bai Yi figured it out too.

Li Xin, Li Xin, look how bad you are at pretending.

PARKING LOT.

As soon as Bo Ye stepped inside, a woman's vicious, resentful voice came from behind him: "Bo Ye, you stop right there!"

Upon hearing the sound, the man stopped and turned around to see Li Xin glaring at him with bloodshot eyes and a face full of hatred.

Li Xin endured it all night.

Now I've finally reached my breaking point.

Bo Ye's expression was cold, and his tone was indifferent: "Who are you?"

When asked the question, Li Xin was taken aback: "You don't know who I am?"

He'd been in a private room all night, and he didn't even know?
Bo Ye scoffed coldly, his tone seemingly full of disdain, and reached into his pocket to take out his keys and unlock the car.

Seeing him about to leave, Li Xin chased after him: "You're not allowed to leave, Bo Ye!" "I haven't settled our score yet!"

Li Xin reached out and grabbed Bo Ye's sleeve, holding it tightly in her hand. Bo Ye's face instantly darkened.

Without any hesitation, he raised his hand and shoved her away: "Get out!"

It looked like it was covered in dirty garbage.

"Ah!" Caught off guard, Li Xin fell hard to the ground.

Her eyes were bloodshot as she glared at the handsome, mature man before her. She said hatefully, "Who am I? I'm the young lady of Feihong Group! If you hadn't forcibly acquired Feihong, Feihong wouldn't have gone bankrupt, my family wouldn't have been ruined, and I wouldn't have gone from a young lady to an ordinary person. Bo Ye, I hate you so much!"

"Don't you feel any remorse for hurting me like this?"

However, after hearing her words, Bo Ye felt no remorse whatsoever, and his face remained completely expressionless.

He stared down at her, his eyes cold and imposing, like a hawk.

"Are you done talking?"

Bo Ye sneered: "Guilt? Why should I feel guilty?"

"Is it because your father and uncle were incompetent? Because they were less skilled and were acquired by me? Or because I discovered that Feihong had been involved in so many shady dealings over the years, with superiors lining their own pockets and harming so many people?"

Li Xin glared at him angrily: "You!"

"You're talking nonsense! My father and my uncle are not those kinds of people!"

"Don't frame them."

Bo Ye coldly replied, "Heh."

"Believe it or not, it's up to you. The court has issued a summons. If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask your good father what he's done."

“If they hadn’t been doing something shady, I wouldn’t have had any leverage over them, and the acquisition wouldn’t have been so successful.”

As he spoke, the man's long, slender fingers unbuttoned his suit jacket, then took it off and threw it directly into the nearby trash can.

He wouldn't want anything that was dirty.

Li Xin watched helplessly, and a surge of inexplicable anger rose within her.

How could she not know why he lost his clothes? It was because she touched them earlier.

He's a germaphobe!
Looking at the tall, mature man in front of me, his white shirt and black trousers made him look refined, but his eagle-like black eyes were so cold and icy that they made me feel intimidated.

It was as if his presence made everything else pale in comparison.

He seemed to be God's favorite, whether in terms of family background, appearance, or even in dreams.

Compared to him, Rongcheng isn't even worthy of shining his shoes.

No one is good enough for him.

Li Xin bit her lip and got up from the ground.

Bo Ye had already driven away.

As the pure black Rolls-Royce disappeared from sight, Li Xin couldn't discern her own feelings. She both hated and loved him, wanted him dead to avenge the Li family, yet couldn't help but admire him from the bottom of her heart.
This is the kind of man Li Xin deserves.

He is the man who deserves her.

Li Xin clenched her fists, her mind filled with uncontrollable ambition.

Just as she was about to turn and leave, she suddenly remembered something and went back to the trash can.

She took out the jacket that Bo Ye had just thrown away. The logo on it was very eye-catching; it was a high-end custom-made jacket, and this brand's jacket alone cost over 100,000 yuan.

No wonder it's Mr. Bo's clothes from the Bo Group.

Li Xin's hands were trembling as she held the suit jacket. She couldn't help but lower her head and press it against the jacket.

You can even smell a strong cologne scent mixed with a hint of alcohol.

This is the taste of Bo Ye.

Unlike the smell of Rongcheng's sweat, it's a fresh yet intense fragrance that makes you yearn for it.

If she could become the woman of someone like Bo Ye, Li Xin would have no regrets even if she died.

A perverse and twisted psychology sprouted from the depths of her heart, and she couldn't control it at all.

Finally, Li Xin took the suit jacket with her.

As night fell, the dim yellow streetlights shone through the car window onto the man's sharply defined face in the driver's seat.

This only made him look even more handsome and charming.

Bo Ye's face is indeed very alluring, possessing a charm that is both that of a mature man and the charisma of a young man who has matured.

Through him, Jiang Ruan could almost see a teenager sitting in his office with a cold face, strategizing and making decisions from afar.

The car stopped at the traffic light.

Bo Ye turned his head and saw Jiang Ruan staring at him blankly, as if she was thinking about someone else through him.

Wow, that's really great.

With a slight twitch of his thin lips, the man reached out, grabbed her chin, and pulled her close.

He lowered his head and bit her luscious red lips hard, a punishment without mercy. His voice was hoarse: "Who are you thinking about? Hmm?"

Jiang Ruan gasped in pain, her round eyes glaring at him: "Why did you bite me?"

"Looking at me thinking about other men? Jiang Ruan, don't you need a beating?"

Bo Ye originally wanted to say that he owed C.

But he felt that the word was a bit too much and didn't suit his image, so he subconsciously changed it when he was about to say it.

“Who’s thinking about other men? Don’t talk nonsense,” Jiang Ruan retorted. “I’m thinking about you.”

Bo Ye gave a cold "Heh": "Do you need to be distracted by me?"

Little heartless.

He rushed over to help her out, fearing she would be bullied.

But she was different; she looked at him and thought about other men.

Bo Ye just wanted to drive home as soon as possible, then dump her on the bed and teach her a lesson.

An inexplicable surge of anger rose in my chest.

Seeing that he was really angry, Jiang Ruan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Suddenly realizing something, her eyes sparkled as she leaned closer, staring at the man's sharp, cold face, as icy as an iceberg.

A smile played on her lips as she teased him, "Mr. Bo, are you jealous?"
