Chapter 541: Chapter 541: Anger Misdirected at Miss Bo_1

Shi Qian was taken aback at Bo Jingyan’s words.

"Brother Jingyan, what do you mean?" She looked at Bo Jingyan puzzledly, her tone filled with a hint of hopeful expectation. "Are you trying to say that you’re willing to trust me?"

Because Brother Jingyan trusted her, does that mean he didn’t need to investigate further and waste time?

The more Shi Qian thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Her pale face flushed with excitement.

Bo Jingyan curled his lips into a smile with no warmth, "What I mean is, I didn’t find any direct links between this matter and you. It seems like everything was done behind your back by your assistant."

"Right, it was all done by my assistant." Shi Qian agreed eagerly, "It has nothing to do with me."

Xia Qingtian had understood Bo Jingyan’s intentions.

At this moment, seeing how anxious Shi Qian was agreeing, she crooked her mouth into a mocking smile.

But she didn’t say anything, nor did she remind Shi Qian.

Because she knew that Bo Jingyan would take action.

Bo Jingyan didn’t continue with the topic, but suddenly changed the subject to something completely unrelated, "Do you know that in ancient times, there was a law called collective punishment?"

A look of bewilderment flashed in Shi Qian’s eyes. She had no idea what he was getting at.

All she could do was to nod blankly, "Um, I know."

"Good that you know it, this way I don’t have to explain further." Bo Jingyan’s deep eyes were filled with an endless chill as he spoke slowly.

Shi Qian looked puzzled, "Brother Jingyan, what does this have to do with me?"

She came to Bo Jingyan to prove her innocence, hoping he would let her go.

Why did he suddenly bring up something else?

Bo Jingyan explained, "You are now being implicated by your assistant. Whether she took matters into her own hands or was instructed by you, it doesn’t matter, because..."

He paused for a moment before saying, "In the end, I will blame it on you".

Upon hearing his words, Shi Qian was stunned.

She never expected Bo Jingyan to rationalize it like this.

It took a while for her to recover. Feeling rather indignant, she replied, "But Brother Jingyan, that’s not entirely fair to me."

Bo Jingyan’s face was still expressionless.

"If you seek fairness and justice, go to court." His tone was incredibly cold, "There is no fairness or justice here. Even if this matter genuinely has nothing to do with you, it’s your fault for not managing your assistant properly. Whatever comes next, you have only yourself to blame."

After hearing his words, Shi Qian couldn’t help but shiver as if she was frightened.

With a trembling voice, she called out, "Brother Jingyan, I..."

Bo Jingyan had said his piece and had no more patience to deal with her.

He started the car, and the roar of the engine filled the space. Without any emotion on his face, he said to Shi Qian, "I’ve said what I needed to say. Don’t bother me any more."

With that, he was about to drive off.

However, Shi Qian wasn’t ready to give up her chance of pleading with him just yet and stopped him again, "Wait, Brother Jingyan, I haven’t finished."

Bo Jingyan stared coldly at her. There wasn’t a trace of warmth in his gaze as he looked at her as if she were not a living being, but a lifeless corpse.

Not stopping the car, his voice chilled, "If you insist on courting death, I will grant that wish."

Having said that, he stepped on the gas, and the car sped towards her.

Shi Qian was still trying to hold her ground.

She didn’t believe that Bo Jingyan would really be that heartless, intending to run her over.

But in a blink of an eye, the car was already close. It seemed like it would hit her in the next second and run her over. She couldn’t keep up the pretense any longer and swiftly dodged to the side.

As soon as she moved, the car that Bo Jingyan was driving sped off.

In a blink of an eye, the car vanished from her sight, leaving a trail of exhaust fumes.

Recalling that if she hadn’t dodged, Bo Jingyan might have really hit her, Shi Qian’s tears started pouring out. This time, she didn’t have to force the tears, they were flowing freely.

She squatted on the ground, crying from sorrow.

...

Meanwhile...

Xia Qingtian sat in the car, frequently glancing back at Shi Qian’s shrinking figure.

"What? Feeling sorry for her?" Bo Jingyan asked, somewhat unclear on her intent.

Xia Qingtian couldn’t help but laugh, "Your joke isn’t funny at all. Even if it were a pig or a dog I were feeling sympathy for, I wouldn’t feel it for Shi Qian."

Thinking of how Shi Qian framed her, made her, the rightful wife, appear as a homewrecker.

And how she was keen on ruining Cheng Bingbing’s life for a role.

Xia Qingtian believed that whatever fate Shi Qian ended up with, it was her own fault and she deserved no sympathy.

"Then why are you looking?" Bo Jingyan asked her.

Xia Qingtian turned her gaze away, and stopped looking back, "I’m just afraid that if Shi Qian gets hurt, she might blame it on you, and you won’t be able to shake it off."

Coldness flashed through Bo Jingyan’s voice, "She wouldn’t dare!"

Thinking of how Shi Qian was frightened to the side just now, Xia Qingtian felt that maybe he was right. Shi Qian might not dare to mess with Bo Jingyan after all.

However, something else suddenly occurred to her.

"Hey, I have a question for you..." Xia Qingtian leaned her chin on her hand, looking at Bo Jingyan with interest.

When Bo Jingyan faced her, he didn’t have the coldness he showed towards Shi Qian. There was a clear tenderness in his low voice as he cooperative asked her, "Hmm? What do you want to ask?"

"Just now, if Shi Qian had really not moved aside, would you have really hit her with the car?" Xia Qingtian asked, curious.

Instead of answering her question, Bo Jingyan asked her back, "What do you think?"

Thinking back to earlier instances when her secret was exposed and she was scared by Bo Jingyan’s ruthless methods. She wanted to divorce him, since this angered him. And when faced with her senior who wanted to help her, he instructed his driver to hit him with the car. She wouldn’t put it past him.

She really had no idea about Bo Jingyan, and what his actions meant.

So, she could only shake her head honestly, "I don’t know."

Bo Jingyan just chuckled lightly in the end, and did not answer her question.

Seeing his reaction, Xia Qingtian knew that he wouldn’t answer, so she didn’t push further.

Bo Jingyan drove fast and, combining that with the fact that the place where Shi Qian intercepted them wasn’t far from the villa, they were home in no time.

Once they arrived, it was already late.

Xia Qingtian didn’t delay, she quickly prepared a meal.

While they were enjoying dinner together, Shi Qian, with red and swollen eyes, made her way back to the old house in a disheartened state.
