Chapter 128: Chapter 128 Have a Good Talk

Bo Jingshen felt he had exacted his revenge on Su Lu.

For instance, at Yunding, when he violently invaded her in the restroom, or that time in Hai City, when howling winds and torrential rains raged outside, and they were together in the dimly lit, ambiguous hotel suite.

On the same bed, when he forced tears from her eyes.

Bo Jingshen felt that this was quite enough "revenge."

After all... he had made her cry, hadn’t he?

Wasn’t that revenge enough?

Jing Ruo saw she couldn’t reason with him and didn’t bother to waste more words. Instead, she focused on reversing the car. Her backing up was terrible, though, and after several attempts, she still couldn’t park the car.

Bo Jingshen’s frown deepened, and eventually, he lost patience, slapping his hand on the steering wheel, "Get out, I’ll do it."

Jing Ruo immediately exited the vehicle, and Bo Jingshen took the driver’s seat, parking the car accurately in the spot with ease.

When he got out of the car, Jing Ruo received a disdainful look from him, "With your skills, you still dare to go to the racetrack. Aren’t you afraid of losing your shirt?"

"That can’t happen," Jing Ruo retorted without letting him mock her, raising an eyebrow, "I have money to burn, and look how profitable selling you out has been for me. Didn’t he give me another card today?"

Jing Ruo didn’t try to hide anything. After all, she knew, and so did Bo Jingshen, that she was an advance team sent by Jing Ce, bound to leak some information about Bo Jingshen to Jing Ce.

Bo Jingshen tacitly acknowledged this, and he was clear that Jing Ruo had her limits and wouldn’t take her anger out on her. Not everyone could have the courage to act decisively and make sacrifices like him or Jing Su.

Jing Ruo was just an ordinary girl, and no one could demand that she have such fierce resolve.

She found her own way to survive and had done her best not to hurt anyone else. That was already commendable.

"Tsk," Bo Jingshen didn’t get angry about Jing Ruo selling him out. Instead, he half-mocked and half-seriously commented, "A share for the witness, huh?"

Jing Ruo patted her small chained purse, "I’m treating today!"

"Alright," Bo Jingshen nodded.

As the siblings walked inside, before even entering the clubhouse, Jing Ruo glanced at Bo Jingshen, "I’m footing the bill today. There will be plenty of booze. We can even take some with us if we can’t finish it all. But brother, you have to promise me you’ll be rational. Have a proper talk. Xiao Caizi doesn’t seem like an unreasonable person."

Bo Jingshen didn’t make a sound, but his expression and silence told Jing Ruo that his answer was no.

Jing Ruo let out a small sigh, "Brother, you need to be more reasonable too. Let’s be honest, she has already been jilted once. Even if you don’t intend to go through with it, at least you shouldn’t stand her up a second time like our elder brother did. She’s a lady, and reputation matters in Beijing."

Jing Ruo didn’t have any particular affection for Xiao Caizi, nor was she trying to make a good case for her out of fear of Jing Ce’s authority.

In fact, she had no stake in this matter. What did it have to do with her, Jing Ruo?

But... maybe it was a feeling of empathy, of kindred spirits.

Jing Ruo felt that, no matter what, they should at least have a sensible, proper conversation.

She looked at Bo Jingshen earnestly, whispering, "What if it were me being treated this way..."

Bo Jingshen clicked his tongue, his eyebrows knitting together.

Jing Ruo knew that Bo Jingshen was still softhearted, softhearted towards her. No matter how much he disliked this cheap younger sister, at heart, this cheap older brother was a kind person.

Sometimes, I just can’t stand her talking herself down like that or being overly cautious.

Bo Jingshen muttered under his breath in irritation, "Damn it..."

Jing Ruo knew she had finally talked him out of his stubborn fixation; her eyes lit up, "Then it’s settled, you’ll have a proper talk with them. Even if you really don’t like the idea, you still need to discuss it properly."

Bo Jingshen quickened his pace, looking annoyed by her, and continued to curse under his breath as he walked, "Jing Ce really should pay you more! One card isn’t enough!"

The place Jing Ruo had chosen was a high-end club, not the loud and rowdy type, but very serene, with light music playing and sometimes live performances by a jazz band—both the ambiance and environment were quite suitable for talking and chatting.

It wasn’t cheap.

Upon entering, they saw Xiao Caizi carefully observing a large and beautifully-designed aquarium landscape; she seemed quite fascinated by it.

"Sister Caizi!" Jing Ruo called out to her, "Sorry, I’m terrible at parking. Did you have to wait long?"

"No problem," Xiao Caizi replied with a smile and a wave of her hand.

Jing Ruo glanced at the large aquarium, "You like that tank of fish? Let’s sit by the tank."

Xiao Caizi smiled and nodded.

So Jing Ruo had the waiter prepare a booth next to the aquarium and ordered some drinks and snacks.

After taking care of all this, Jing Ruo checked the time. The food and drinks arrived quickly, and soon they were served alcohol, an ice bucket, crystal glasses, along with an assortment of delicate and savory snacks.

Jing Ruo lifted her glass to drink with Xiao Caizi, exchanging some pleasantries.

Checking the time, she realized it was about time for her to step away and let them talk. Jing Ruo picked up her phone, smiled and said, "You two sit for a while; I need to step out to return a phone call."

Everyone tacitly understood, so Xiao Caizi nodded with a smile.

Bo Jingshen gave a perfunctory nod as well.

As soon as Jing Ruo left, Bo Jingshen didn’t bother with small talk or beating around the bush; he got straight to the point.

"Jing Ce brought you here with a clear intent, which you must be aware of," Bo Jingshen said, his voice calm, not exactly cold, but detached and impersonal.

Xiao Caizi didn’t seem to mind his tone; she nodded and even picked up a salt and pepper duck jaw. Honestly, eating that was quite unladylike, contradicting the poised image she’d always maintained.

But it looked so tasty when Jing Ruo ate it earlier, quite tempting indeed.

Thinking it over, she took a small bite and her eyes brightened.

Because of this, she seemed very nonchalant about the whole situation.

She even added, "I understand."

"I’m not interested in this arrangement. You probably don’t want to be manipulated like this either, especially since two potential arrangements with the Jing Family have already fallen through. So, it would be ideal if we both expressed our rejection of this matter."

When Bo Jingshen said this, Xiao Caizi’s expression and gaze finally shifted.

It was as if all her composed and indifferent postures, that impenetrable mask of a smile, and her camouflage, had collapsed in an instant.

For a split second, her face even revealed a fierce intensity.

Xiao Caizi said, "No, I can’t."
