Out of control and sinking

Chapter 57 You seem to care about him a lot.

Jiang Ruan was utterly speechless.

She realized that Bo Ye really had absolutely no romantic side!
He's such a clueless straight man!
Jiang Ruan puffed up her cheeks in anger, turned her head to look out the window, and decided not to pay any attention to him anymore. Humph!
Neither of them spoke.

The car immediately fell silent.

The dim yellow streetlights shone continuously into the room.

A moment later, Bo Ye's voice rang out: "What are we going to do tomorrow?"

When asked, Jiang Ruan rested her chin on her hand and said in a muffled voice, "Work, shooting commercials, shooting promotional videos."

Bo Ye: "Oh."

Perhaps she didn't want the conversation to just fall flat; after a busy day, she finally had a chance to chat with him.

Jiang Ruan turned her head, looked at the man's profile, and couldn't help but ask the question that had been on her mind: "When did Director Zhang meet Mayor Zou? Are they good friends?"

"How come I've never heard of this?"

That's the mayor of Beijing.

He's not just any ordinary person.

Although Director Zhang is quite famous in the entertainment industry, he's no match for the mayor.

And it just so happens that Bo Ye is here tonight too. Isn't that a bit too much of a coincidence?

Bo Ye gripped the steering wheel, his calm expression obscuring his true emotions.

He simply replied in a nonchalant tone, "I don't know."

"Are you on good terms with Mayor Zou?" Jiang Ruan asked again.

Bo Ye said, "So-so."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

I feel like I'm talking to thin air.

If their relationship were truly just average, how could Mayor Zou possibly side with Rong Cheng directly in front of him?

Jiang Ruan pouted and responded with a single word. He just didn't want to chat with her, so why should she bother?
It's quiet now.

Then Bo Ye said, "When I was in power in the Bo family, he was already the vice mayor of Beijing. Five or six years later."

His eyes were calm: "We've known each other for many years."

Jiang Ruan: "Oh, I see." "No wonder he helped you so much tonight."

Bo Ye raised an eyebrow and teased, "You seem to care about him a lot."

Jiang Ruan said bluntly, "No, I just think tonight is a bit too coincidental."

Bo Ye raised an eyebrow: "For example?"

"For example, Director Zhang happens to be good friends with Mayor Zou, and Mayor Zou happens to be there with you. Then they come to our private room, and later you face off against Rong Cheng."

"Don't you think this is a bit too much of a coincidence?"

Bo Ye smiled faintly: "Perhaps."

Jiang Ruan listened, blinked, and Ye Sezhong's dark eyes gleamed as he stared at the man's profile: "By the way, you seem to have a lot of hostility towards Rong Cheng. Did you two know each other before?"

Bo Ye's lips twitched slightly: "I don't know him."

Don't you recognize me?

"Then why are you targeting him so much?"

Jiang Ruan asked in surprise and curiosity.

Bo Ye replied calmly, "Did I target him?"

"I do not know how."

"You were targeting him! Didn't you see how angry he was about you? Seriously, I never realized you were so cool before."

"You really didn't have any conflicts with him before?" Jiang Ruan asked him curiously.

Bo Ye: "No."

"OK then."

Jiang Ruan couldn't help but continue complaining: "To be honest, I really hate this person too. He talks a lot of nonsense. I don't even know him. He kept picking on me last night, and I was so angry that I cried. He speaks so rudely. He's supposed to be the director, but he has no manners at all. If he weren't the director and I didn't have to offend him, I would have just left."
