Chapter 412: Poisonous Drink
Yang Muyan glanced at Ji Bo and sneered. “How useless! Can’t even stand this scene. What can you achieve in your life?”
Ji Bo bellowed as he still felt nauseous. “Lan Yu, this is my home! You can kill whomever you want outside, but never do that disgusting thing in my house.”
He knew who Yang Muyan really was, but he never called her by her real name.
“Don’t worry, I won’t kill in your house, I am just giving a little punishment to someone who once tried to kill me. As you see, I can do things which you can’t ever imagine. So, you better think about us getting married soon.”
Yang Muyan was facing Ji Bo and standing against the window. As the sunlight shone through the curtains, her silhouette was blurred and her face was hidden in the shadow, making her look eerie and twisted.
And her hoarse voice made Ji Bo extremely uncomfortable.
Yang Muyan had chosen to torture Shangguan Rouxue in the house on purpose, so that Ji Bo could see the scene of blood and cruelty and get intimidated by it.
“I have promised to marry you. What more do you want?”
Hands against the wall, Ji Bo tried to balance himself. His handsome and elegant face was full of disgust and rage.
“Yes, you made the promise, but I have not seen you taking any action till now. I want to marry you as soon as possible. But you are taking things too slow. So, I thought I would provide you with some stimulus.”
Ji Bo knew that he had no way out the moment he agreed to cooperate with Yang Muyan.
But he had been confident enough to think that he would be able to control Yang Muyan and demolish Jing Yichen to take over Family Ji.
But the reality had torn apart his dream. He was not only cornered by Jingsheng but also got backstabbed by Family Ji, losing the majority of power. He had now become a fish on Yang Muyan’s cutting board, waiting to be slaughtered.
He had known how poisonous Yang Muyan could get, but still continued to cooperate with her so that he could use her power to acquire Family Ji’s shares and to take the seat of President. He wanted to declare war on Jingsheng.
Leaning against the wall, Ji Bo got increasingly numb. He sat down slowly on the floor as he asked with clenched teeth. “When do you want to get married?”
“Tomorrow!”
“That is too soon. Everyone will think that something is wrong with this marriage.”
“It is a marriage with problems. Many marriages are full of problems! What I want is a formulation. I don’t care about what other people think of me.”
“No way, it is impossible to get everything ready by tomorrow. We need at least a month.”
“I will give you three days. Three days later, you must marry me. But today, we will go and register ourselves. After the registration, I can help you become the President of Family Ji’s Enterprise. But I won’t do it if we don’t go today. Think about it!”
Ji Bo had never expected that he would have to get married in this way.
He had known that he couldn’t possibly marry a woman he loved. So he always kept his emotions suppressed and stopped himself from getting attracted to anyone.
Love was a luxury which he couldn’t afford.
Falling in love with a woman would be the biggest weakness of a man.
Jing Yichen was a typical example. Before he married Shangguan Ning, he had been completely invulnerable. He had no breaking point. But after he married Shangguan Ning, she became his biggest weak point.
It was almost impossible to deal with Jing Yichen, but it was much easier to deal with Shangguan Ning!
You must lose something if you want to get something.
You could get something if you lost something.
Jing Yichen was losing something when he was getting something.
Whilst Ji Bo got his biggest support after he lost the chance at love.
After a long silence, he finally spat one single word out. “Okay.”
That very afternoon, Ji Bo and Yang Muyan went to the Civil Affairs Office for registration. They registered themselves as a married couple with Lan Yu’s identity card and household registration.
Three days later, a grand wedding was held at Family Ji.
It was a hurried affair with little preparation. But Family Ji was powerfully rich, so when lots of money was spent, the wedding still turned out to be decent.
However, the old lady of Family Ji and Ji Bo’s parents were not very cheerful at the wedding.
It had happened too quickly and the bride had an ordinary family background. Apart from being weird, the bride looked like a patient and sounded like a crow, making everyone around feel uncomfortable.
No one knew about Yang Muyan’s real identity. No one had seen her before. But the fact that she could marry the elder master of Family Ji, the second richest family in A City, proved that there was more to her than was visible on the surface.
Although all guests were whispering behind their backs, the couple looked totally normal. They had a smile on their faces as if they were deeply in love with each other.
Jing Yichen and Shangguan Ning had been invited for the wedding as well. But they didn’t show up.
Jing Yichen would never bring Shangguan Ning in front of Ji Bo voluntarily. He was already being kind to not destroy the wedding.
Although the invitation had been sent out, Ji Bo never wanted Jing Yichen to attend his wedding. Because if he ever did attend, he would end up being the centre of attention. The headline of the next day would not be about their wedding but about the mysterious president of Jingsheng Enterprise who had attended the function.
Jing Yichen had already predicted that Yang Muyan would marry Ji Bo because only in this way, Family Ji would be her biggest bay and Family Jing would not be able to touch her so easily.
But Jing Yichen was not as docile as she had thought. If he couldn’t do it himself, he could still get someone else to deal with Yang Muyan.
She was Family Jing’s enemy and was devious and evil. She needed to die!
Shangguan Ning had no idea about Yang Muyan, but as she laid down on Jing Yichen’s thighs and stuffed orange slices into her mouth, she said confusedly, “That Lan Yu and Ji Bo’s marriage is definitely peculiar. She must be a lady of a hidden family. Otherwise Ji Bo won’t be marrying her. He likes women with connections. He won’t marry anyone who is not capable of helping him in some way.”
