Pei Shuzhen looked at the backs of the two people walking away, her heart already in her throat.

She was afraid that the two would misunderstand, so she almost ran after him.

"Jing Ran! Don't get me wrong. This was my husband's driver just now. He sent me here for a check-up because I wasn't feeling well. You must not talk nonsense to the old man, do you hear me?"

Jingran's patience was almost exhausted as she listened to the footsteps chasing after her.

She turned around suddenly, "Misunderstanding? I didn't misunderstand. I don't care about who sent you to the hospital. But if you have to catch up and entangle me, then I should have misunderstood something. Ms. Pei has arrived. The Bo family must have been around for a few years, right?"

Jingran's words obviously meant something. Pei Shuzhen's originally sallow complexion suddenly became completely drained of color.

She stared at Jingran unwillingly, "You are so young, what nonsense are you talking about here? I am your elder!"

"Don't act like an elder on me. In my eyes, the only elder in the Bo family is the old man. Ms. Pei, please don't put gold on your face." Jingran didn't save any face for Pei Shuzhen, so she said it. His words became increasingly unkind.

Even Bo Zhanchen's eyes flickered when he looked at her.

Jingran's hostility towards Pei Shuzhen was too obvious.

It's obviously somewhat deliberate.

Could it be that there was something else going on between them that he didn't know about yet?

Bo Zhanchen's meaningful eyes stayed on Jingran for a moment, and Pei Shuzhen saw this scene.

In just a moment, Pei Shuzhen knew that there was definitely an ulterior secret between Jingran and Bo Zhanchen.

She was surprised by what she found.

But he didn't dare to continue to cause trouble for himself at this juncture. He could only laugh twice awkwardly, find an excuse, and turned back to the elevator.

After the two left, Jingran put away the spikes all over her body, smiled slyly, turned around and left the hospital.

Back in the parking lot, Jingran didn't dare to sit in the passenger seat and stretched out her hand to open the back door.

Bo Zhanchen raised his eyebrows, "Are you so afraid of me?"

Jingran made a face at him, "Who is afraid of you? We are both wounded now, so we have to keep a distance! Otherwise, some people will not be able to control their bestiality and be punished for this kind of thing. It would be a shame to go to the hospital."

Bo Zhanchen didn't comment on Jingran's words and said nothing more, focusing on driving.

As the car drove onto the elevated highway, Jingran stared at Bo Zhanchen's side face, her eyes gradually darkening.

Since the death of Bo Zhanchen's biological mother, Bo Zhanchen's status in the Bo family has become precarious, and he is basically in a semi-freedom state.

In order to let Bo Jiamu shine in front of the old man, Pei Shuzhen tried every means to suppress Bo Zhanchen, even using tricks to flatter him.

In the two years when Bo Zhanchen first started to make gossip outside, Pei Shuzhen almost said all the good things for him in front of the old man, but the old man's favorability towards Bo Zhanchen was getting lower and lower.

During that time, Bo Jiamu won several more important projects and began to make a name for himself in the Bo family.

As the old man retreated to the second line, Bo Jiamu began to cultivate his own confidants in the company, and almost did anything to achieve his goals.

In two years, five of the older generation shareholders took a back seat, and the company's middle and senior management changed drastically.

During that time, Mr. Bo was almost Bo Jiamu’s talking point.

And there is one thing that Ran has never been able to figure out: why is Bo Zhanchen willing to hand over the group to others?

After all, he is also the eldest son and grandson of the Bo family. Can he really give up everything that is already within his reach?

"If you look at me like that again, I will have to take you back even if you are injured. Jingran, why didn't I know you were so clingy before?"

Bo Zhanchen's teasing voice made Jingran suddenly come back to her senses.

The complex emotions flashing through her eyes did not escape Bo Zhanchen's eyes.

Through the rearview mirror, Bo Zhanchen could clearly see the micro-expression changes on Jingran's face just now.

Sometimes, Bo Zhanchen even felt that he couldn't see through Jingran.

While waiting for the red light, Bo Zhanchen took out a black velvet box from the passenger compartment and threw it to Jingran with a flick of his wrist.

"This is the gift I brought back to you this time. Do you like it? I've been in the hospital for too long and haven't had time to adjust anything else. You just have to make do with it."

The moment the box fell, Jingran subconsciously stretched out her hands to catch it. After opening the box, she was stunned for a moment when she looked at the sapphire necklace inside.

Beneath the simple platinum necklace hangs a sapphire the size of a thumb cap. Surrounded by a hand-carved platinum pendant set, there is a small four-leaf clover that just wraps the gemstone in the middle. Jingran fell in love with this necklace at first sight.

She looked at Bo Zhanchen in surprise, but suddenly her face sank and she closed the box with a snap. "Are you hospitalized? What happened to your injury?"

Bo Zhanchen didn't expect Jingran's face to change so quickly. He smiled helplessly, "Don't you like the necklace?"

"I like all the things you gave me." Jingran did not pour cold water on her. She carefully stuffed the black velvet gift box into the report bag, then raised her head and stared at the open man intently, "But this is just like what I just said. The things you are asking are two different things.”

What is going on in this man's mind?

He was injured and hospitalized, and he even brought her a sapphire necklace, so he didn't take his body seriously?

"What happened to your injury? Is it because of this injury that you disappeared for so many days?" Jingran continued to ask without giving up. Seeing that Bo Zhanchen refused to tell the truth, he suddenly swallowed the words that came to his lips.

She took a deep breath and leaned back slumped on the chair. "Find an intersection ahead and let me get off. I'll go back by myself."

Bo Zhanchen looked at Jingran through the rearview mirror, and felt cruel when he saw that she looked like a frost-beaten eggplant.

"There are some things you shouldn't ask, so don't pry. Jingran, you have crossed the line."

After these words were spoken, there was a long silence in the car.

Neither of them spoke again until the car passed the intersection.

"Bo Zhanchen, pull over, I want to get out!" Jingran was like a lit firecracker, reaching out to pat the back of the passenger seat and giving Bo Zhanchen a fierce look.

"I brought you out today for serious business, and I have no intention of messing around with you." Bo Zhanchen's voice also became colder until the car stopped in front of a private restaurant.

Bo Zhanchen pulled off his seat belt and said, "I have an appointment with Chen Yingfeng for dinner today. As his student, it would be inappropriate for you not to be there."

"You asked my teacher to have dinner? Why didn't you tell me in advance?" Jingran's tone was still very aggressive. No one could let his teacher wait, so he could only get out of the car with a stinky face.
