Chapter 720: Plotting for Wealth, Harming Lives

Without Ye Lan's protection, just the two of them women, wouldn't he be able to knead and deform them at will"Assistant Shen, I advise you to know your place and do what I..."The words that followed...Given the haste and casualness, it couldn't possibly be a wedding banquet. Bo Jingzhou hadn't been in Kyoto for half a year. He had left in such a hurry before, sparking all sorts of speculation within their circle. Now that he was back, Jiang Yajue arranged this banquet. It wasn't just to dispel the rumors; she also wanted to use this opportunity for him to get acquainted with people again.

The banquet was held at Yuting Garden. Shen Wanci, as Bo Jingzhou's wife, accompanied him through the crowd.

She held his hand, watching him greet and socialize with others effortlessly, showing no signs of anything out of the ordinary.

Before the banquet started, Shen Wanci was still thinking about how to introduce the other guests to Bo Jingzhou without anyone noticing, considering his memory loss was only known to a few close people. Since everyone present today was familiar, if he couldn't recognize them, it would be too embarrassing. As it turned out, she didn't need to worry at all.

Bao Jingzhou not only knew how to address the other person, but he was also incredibly fluent in conversation. No matter what the other person said, he could always find a way to keep the conversation going.

"Did that just come back to you" Shen Wanci tilted her head, raising her wine glass to shield her profile as she lowered her voice.

"No," Bo Jingzhou lowered his head slightly, mimicking her tone and speaking in a voice only the two of them could hear. "I did my research beforehand."

He made Chen Xu give him a list of everyone in his circle, including their photos, backgrounds, interests, and social relationships.

The news of the two getting their marriage license hasn't been officially announced. Seeing this scene, others were whispering: "It seems Mr. Bo and Miss Shen are getting close to something good."

It's about time, hasn't it been ages since their last public relationship They're such a good match, both talented and beautiful.

There are also sour remarks: "This isn't even legally married yet, so there are bound to be many changes. They might break up tomorrow! Who knows what will happen Plus, they've been divorced before, and that wasn't stable, let alone now that they aren't even legally married."

Of course, these words are only dared to be said secretly in private. There are blessings, envy, and jealousy.

"Mr. Bo," someone came over to toast, Shen Wanci recognized the other party's identity and stood up politely nodding her head, the person immediately returned a smile.

Bo Jingzhou was drinking a beverage today, his cup already empty. Just as a waiter happened to pass by, though there were only wines on the tray, he grabbed a glass. As he was about to take a sip, he noticed eyes scanning him from the side.

The man paused his movement, naturally lowering the hand he had raised. "Sorry, I have a cold," he said. "The doctor said I can't drink alcohol."

This is not a lie, Bao Jingzhou really caught a cold, and it came on suddenly. He went to the hospital this morning for an IV drip. The doctor specifically instructed him not to drink alcohol or smoke.

But those who can thrive in the marketplace are all masters of disguise, Shen Wanci's glance, though subtle, was still noticed by the man. He looked at the two with a playful smirk: "President Bo actually listens to his wife so much, I thought only ordinary people like us would be controlled completely."

He was a little drunk, and he wouldn't normally say this. It would be obvious that he was saying Boss Bao is afraid of his wife, right

Everyone around instinctively stepped aside, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

Bo Jingzhou looked as usual, with a hint of pride in his eyebrows and eyes, "Well, I am afraid of my wife."

Other men: "..."

If it weren't for Bo Jingzhou saying this, they would have definitely retorted by now. But since it was him, not only could they not retort, they also had to say things like "It's a blessing to have a wife" as compliments. After all, he looked so self-congratulatory that they couldn't directly dismantle his stage, unless they didn't want to cling to the Bo family tree anymore.

Other women: "..."

Shen Wanci: "..."

Aware of the meaningful glances those people were giving her, she could only manage a dry chuckle besides any other expression.

This episode passed quickly, but the gazes of those around her changed. Previously, while they had treated her with respect, there was also a sense of ordinariness in their eyes. Although Bo Jingzhou had publicly acknowledged her as his fiancée, she wasn't part of the Bo family and couldn't make decisions for them, so they only needed to avoid offending her. But now, their eyes held a hint of flattery.

President Bo is afraid of his wife, so does that mean that if Miss Shen agrees to something, even President Bo will agree

Even a blind person could see that Bao Jingzhou and Shen Wanci are easy to please.

For a time, Shen Wanci, who was just a nobody moments ago, instantly became the object of everyone's adoration. Men couldn't directly approach her, but the ladies weren't ones to be outdone either. At this moment, they surrounded her, their attitudes warm and eager as if she were their long-lost sister.

Shen Wanci didn't like such social gatherings. She smiled stiffly while attending to them, and at the same time began to reflect, wondering if she had chosen the profession of cultural relic restoration because she liked it, or because she was actually a hidden social introvert.

"Late porcelain..."

"That's Qin Yuezhi's voice. She didn't know when she arrived. She just squeezed into the crowd and stood beside her, "What are you doing Why are they all gathered around you like watching a monkey"

"...."

This crude fastball drew snickers from the onlookers, who then made excuses to leave.

Qin Yuezhi dragged Shen Wanci to the dining area and drank two glasses of water in a row: "I've been busy all day, I'm starving."

Shen Wanci wasn't hungry, watching her eat from the side: "Is business good at the shop"

"It wasn't in the store," Qin Yuezhi gritted her teeth, her face tight with anger. "It was that little brat Qin Jingrui."

Knowing that the two siblings couldn't go three days without bickering, Shen Wanci wasn't surprised. "What did he do to get on your nerves again"

“He said he wanted to be a lawyer as good as Huo Tingdong in the future, make his own way, and wouldn't inherit the family business. I think he’s daydreaming. He’s only studied law for a few days and already thinks he’s Huo Tingdong. I think he’s delusional.”

Qin Yue's heart was filled with anger. She blurted out everything that had happened earlier in the day when she had argued with Qin Jingrui at home: "How can a man be so lackluster He actually wants me to be a female CEO! I need ambition. If I have that drive, I wouldn't open a silly antique shop. I would've taken over the company and kicked him out ages ago. I just want to live comfortably without too much effort and have money to spend. He even suggested I find a husband!"

Shen Wanci: "Don't joke, if you and Jingrui both don't want to inherit the company, this is a good idea. Find someone who is capable and ambitious, but the most important thing is their character."

Otherwise, you are likely to be robbed or even killed.

Qin Yuezhi subconsciously said, " Huo Tingdong seems to be an only child, so he probably won't come to the door as a son-in-law. "

As soon as she finished speaking, she wanted to slap herself. It was too early to tell! He hadn't even finished his internship yet, how could she already be thinking about him

Shen Wanci raised an eyebrow with a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "I didn't mention Huo Tingdong, did I You immediately thought of marriage when you heard it. Are you really considering him"he arm and saw Jiang Yi with that troublesome kid. There was also a man beside him, average-looking, not ugly, but his aura screamed rich second-generation playboy. Because he was tall, he had a sligh...
