Shang Manyue nodded lightly.

"Since my presence in Hong Kong or not will not affect Huo Jingbo, why are you trying to steal the project and drive me away? Why are you so anxious?"

Jiang Yuan's face twisted.

It’s not because she can’t argue with Shang Manyue, but... she really doesn’t have the confidence like her.

Therefore, it was inevitable that she would be defeated.

Shang Manyue stared at her deeply, "Jiang Yuan, you are not the only one who knows me well, I also know you well, how could I not see what you are thinking!"

Jiang Yuan knew that she was family-minded and used Brian's business to threaten her, but she also understood her and knew what words would turn into soft needles and hurt her badly.

The feelings of many years, at this moment, became a boomerang, and they were all covered in blood.

Since she came prepared, Shang Manyue didn't expect to convince her, so she didn't waste time. She picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of her lips elegantly, stood up, picked up her bag and walked out.

Shang Manyue's understatement made Jiang Yuan feel like he had punched cotton. It didn't make any sense and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Her hands were clenched tightly and her eyes were cold.

As Shang Manyue walked out of the box, Jiang Yuan caught up with her from behind and stood in front of her.

"Shang Manyue, are you going to ask Brother Jingbo for help with the project again? If you go, I will indeed give in for Brother Jingbo."

Jiang Yuan thought about it and thought that the reason why Shang Manyue gave in so easily must be that she had a trick up her sleeve. Her trick was to ask Brother Jingbo for help.

She did this to force her to leave, not to give her the opportunity to pester Brother Jingbo.

It is necessary to completely put an end to her thoughts.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan's eyes were filled with sarcasm. "At most, I will be the elder and you will be the younger. We are sisters. I won't mind. But your two children will be wronged and changed from legitimate children to illegitimate children...ah——"

Shang Manyue slapped her in the face without hesitation.

The sound of the slap was so crisp that it echoed throughout the corridor.

Even though Shang Manyue knew that Jiang Yuan was deliberately speaking to provoke her, she was still shaking with anger and her teeth were chattering.

The slap was merciless and half of Jiang Yuan's face was red and swollen.

Being slapped in public was humiliating and painful, but Jiang Yuan felt refreshed seeing Shang Manyue so angry.

She will never know how angry and hateful she was every time she saw her and Brother Jingbo together.

That time I ran into her being intimate with Brother Jingbo in the office.

It was her biggest nightmare in the years that followed.

She even imagined countless times that the woman sitting on Brother Jingbo was her, not Shang Manyue.

It was obviously she who met Brother Jingbo first, so why did Shang Manyue come out on top and enjoy everything that should have belonged to her?

The love between Mrs. Huo and Brother Jingbo, and Brother Jingbo’s child.

She will take back everything that was taken away from her step by step!

Jiang Yuan covered her face, but the corners of her lips rose, "Man Yue, I won't hold it against you for this slap. It's considered as repaying our friendship for so many years, but from now on, we are no longer friends."

She took a deep breath, moved closer to Shang Manyue, and whispered in her ear, "To rob a man, it all depends on your ability. No one is nobler than anyone else. You have no right to look down on me!"

"By the way, if you're still not satisfied, just keep hitting me. I'll stand right here and let you hit me!"

Shang Manyue bit her lower lip hard, and her hands hanging on both sides of her body were ready to slap her a few more times.

But she knew that if she took it seriously, she would lose.

Slapping her a few times won't solve the problem at all, and she might even charge her with intentional injury and put her in jail for a few days.

In the current situation, she cannot allow any problems to occur, otherwise Brian's business in Hong Kong City will be dragged down.

Shang Manyue closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

After all, she is no longer the impulsive girl she used to be.

When she opened her eyes again, all the emotions in her eyes disappeared. She looked at Jiang Yuan and asked abruptly, "Jiang Yuan, you are using your brother's name to coerce and bribe others outside. Does your brother know?"

Jiang Yuan's expression stiffened for a moment, but it disappeared in a flash.

She heard Shang Manyue's temptation.

She curled her lips and replied, "Man Yue, you know how much my brother loves me as his sister. If I want to do something, he will naturally be willing to help me achieve my wish. Don't waste your time."

"Is it."

Shang Manyue didn't say anything else, just turned around and left.

……

Secretary He drove Shang Manyue back to Manyue Bay.

Before getting off the car, she asked worriedly, "Miss, are we really going to give up the cooperation with Jason? If we fail to get this cooperation, it will have a great impact on the boss. Otherwise... I will report to the boss and we can think of a solution together?"

Brian spent a lot of time and energy to gain a foothold in Gangcheng. If he lost Gangcheng, he would only have the business in Northcheng left in the country. But Northcheng had just started and had an unstable foundation, which would be like cutting off one of his own arms and causing great damage to his vitality.

At this time, Shang Manyue didn't want to worry Brian because he was still recovering from his injuries.

She rubbed her brows and said, "It's not to the point where I can't keep him. Don't tell Brian yet. Let me think about it."

Secretary He was not optimistic after seeing the situation tonight.

"Miss, what else can we do? Since ancient times, the people have never fought against the officials, and they cannot win..."

After a pause, she couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Or are you going to... ask your ex-husband for help?"

She heard it clearly just now. Jiang Yuan said that if Huo Jingbo took action, she would give in.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Shang Manyue suddenly opened her eyes and glanced at her indifferently.

Secretary He suddenly felt a chill down his spine and immediately fell silent.

Shang Manyue pushed open the car door and got out, walking into the house in high heels.

At the entrance, she saw a pair of men's black leather shoes, shining brightly.

Sure enough, when Aunt Chen came out, she took her bag and coat while snorting towards the living room.

"That unlucky guy is here again, saying he's here to see the child, and he's been here ever since."

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell what this bad man is planning.

Shang Manyue changed into cotton slippers and walked in slowly.

The living room was filled with all kinds of toys and gifts, all for Xiao Yunchen and Xiao Yunshi. Huo Jingbo sat on the carpet, playing house with Xiao Yunshi with dolls. Xiao Yunchen was a little principled. He sat on the sofa with a stern face, not wanting to pay attention to his father, but he would occasionally glance at the figures his father brought.

After all, they are just children, how can they resist temptation?

However, Shang Manyue will not be unhappy if the child is close to his father. She will not impose her will on the child. The child has the freedom to choose.

She didn't want her children to be burdened with anger and resentment at a young age.

But, she didn't want to pay any attention to Huo Jingbo at all.

"He can stay with me if he wants. I'll go upstairs and put the kids to bed at ten."

After giving the instructions, Shang Manyue went straight upstairs as if she didn't see the man.

She had a headache, and after taking a hot bath, she felt better and came out wearing a thin bathrobe.

Unexpectedly, an uninvited guest came into the room.

Huo Jingbo sat on the sofa carefree, like the male owner, looking up at her beautiful figure emerging from the water, and sizing her up unscrupulously.

Eyes burning.

Before Shang Manyue could get angry, the man spoke first, his voice low and pleasant.

"Shang Manyue, have you been wronged?"
