She is the most beautiful rose

Chapter 230: Just a Means of Survival
"and then?"

Bian Shu finished drinking the tea. "Then Jing Mo left. I don't know what happened afterwards. Jing Fuxiang came here early this morning with her mother. After talking with Wei Song, she asked Jing Mo to perform a show of sisterly love."

Jing Fuxiang is the eldest sister. She has been outstanding since childhood and the family has high hopes for her. When everyone in the family rejects the second sister's family, Jing Fuxiang will keep her by her side and protect her.

Shen Manzhi tore open the chopsticks envelope and asked, "She was kidnapped and frightened, how could she fly to Huaicheng overnight?"

"I think the kidnapping is fake, and the real reason is that they want Wei Song to go back."

Bian Shu investigated the so-called kidnapping. The Jing family is a wealthy family, and Jing Fuxiang is always accompanied by bodyguards when she goes out. It is impossible for the criminals to succeed. It is reasonable to say that the Jing family took the opportunity to make a big fuss or staged it themselves.

Although Jing Mo is from Linjiang, it is not difficult for her to leave the Jing family, but the old man is still the head of the family. It is impossible for Jing Mo to fall out with her family for her father.

So Jing Fuxiang held Jing Mo's hand and said a lot of caring words, and finally fell on Wei Song, "Sister, you have been wronged. If Master Wei is willing to cancel the engagement, I will immediately tell Grandpa. No matter what, I will not interfere with your relationship."

Jing Mo hesitated for two seconds after hearing this, then slowly pulled his hand back, "I have no feelings for him."

As soon as Jing Mo finished speaking, the woman pulled her daughter's hand and glared at Jing Mo, "Fuxiang! She is already blatantly trying to snatch Master Wei from you, why are you still saying that you want to give him to her?"

Jing Mo frowned slightly, and looked at his cousin who lowered her head in annoyance but did not explain anything. His heart ached, "Didn't you beg me to make friends with Wei Song? Now it seems that I deliberately stole him away?"

Jing Fuxiang took her hand and said softly, "Momo, don't think too much..."

Jing Mo stared at the woman, "Go ask that young master whether he refused to leave or I seduced him on purpose."

The woman's face turned pale. Not only was her daughter's marriage partner snatched away, but she was also accused to her face that someone else was insisting on marrying her?
There were only three people in the room. The woman pushed Jing Mo and said, "You are Fu Xiang's sister. Aren't all these reasons enough for you to refuse? I think you are just having too much fun outside and have forgotten the house rules, right? You are just like your mother, always looking at the pot while eating from the bowl... Jing Mo!"

Jing Mo's eyes were red, and he pushed the man back with his backhand, his voice was as deep as water dripping, "Try to raise it again?"

Jing Fuxiang stood between the two and pushed them apart. "What are you doing, Momo? My mom is just a little too angry. Don't take it personally. You can't hit your elders."

Jing Fuxiang also talked to her in the same way when she was a child, telling her to be tolerant in everything and that children should behave like children, so she obeyed her for so many years.

Jingmo felt her heart chilled. She took a deep breath and tried to pull her hand away. Unexpectedly, the woman suddenly pushed her back. Her calf hit the top corner of the coffee table. Her body suddenly went limp and she leaned back. The desserts and fruits on the table were in a circle and knocked to the ground.

Jing Fuxiang hurried forward and tried to help the man up, but Wei Song's voice came from outside the door, "Open the door."

Jing Mo was stunned for a moment, ignored the hand his cousin extended to him, and stood up sideways. Unexpectedly, Jing Fuxiang, who was bending over in front of him, lost her balance and screamed, and her upper body fell onto the coffee table. Seeing this, Jing Mo immediately turned over and supported himself on the ground.

The fruit knife was still in the fruit bowl, and it was overturned on the ground, rubbing its sharp edge against the white calf, leaving a long bloody wound.

The woman quickly stepped forward and pulled her daughter over, "Fuxiang!"

The door of the private room opened, and Wei Song stood at the door with a cold face. His figure was tall and steady with his back to the light, but it was unclear whether it was haze or light.

"Jingmo, how could you be so cruel to treat your sister so harshly!"

Jing Fuxiang leaned in the woman's arms, frowned and looked at the wound on her calf, and whispered, "Mom, don't blame Momo, it's my fault that I didn't stand firmly..."

"If she hadn't pushed you away, would you have fallen? She clearly saw the fruit knife on the table and the floor, but she deliberately turned aside!"

From a woman's perspective, with a little bit of prejudice, she naturally felt more sorry for her daughter and started blaming Jingmo without any reason.

Jing Fuxiang looked at the wound worriedly and said nothing more. She bit her lip to endure the pain. After all, girls are afraid of getting bumps and bruises on their bodies and leaving marks.

Wei Song walked in, first glanced at Jing Mo, then walked to Jing Fuxiang, squatted down and looked at the wound.

The woman supported Jing Fuxiang, her voice trembling slightly, "Master Wei, if I had known that Jing Mo had such evil intentions towards her sister in order to keep you, I would never have let Fuxiang come here. I think this marriage is unnecessary, we will take the initiative to cancel the engagement!"

Jing Fuxiang wanted to pull Jing Mo up, "Mom, please stop talking."

Wei Song also looked at the person who was still sitting on the ground. Jing Mo supported his hands behind his back, propped up his legs and sat up. He just looked up at Wei Song silently, and did not pay attention to the hand that Jing Fuxiang handed over to him.

Jing Mo was as cold to him as ever, but there was something else mixed in with this coldness.

Wei Song's expression was more complicated. Jing Mo was used to his usual slackness and laziness, so he was a little confused about what he was looking at.

After a long silence, Wei Song lowered his eyes, bent down slightly, picked up Jing Fuxiang and walked out. The woman glared at Jing Mo fiercely and followed him out.

Jing Mo's long eyelashes drooped slightly, and he took out his hands that were supported behind his back. There was a bloody wound on the palm of his hand, and there was even more blood than that oozing from Jing Fuxiang's leg.

Bian Shu couldn't help but took out a cigarette from his pocket, "I've mentioned this to Jing Mo before. She always remembers how good her cousin was to her when she was a child. Now she's been bullied to this extent, and she still doesn't know how to get out of it."

A hint of coldness flashed across Shen Manzhi's eyes, "What does Wei Song mean?" Bian Shuzheng took out a lighter, glanced at Shen Manzhi, and put it back, "Who knows."

The waiter outside knocked on the door and served the food. The two were silent for a while. Bian Shu ordered two more dishes and asked the waiter to pack them up later.

In terms of seniority, Bian Shu is Jingmo's senior brother. They both worked in Linjiang and were transferred to Huaicheng one after another. Naturally, he could not bear to see Jingmo suffer this injustice.

"No one in the Jing family is a good person, and Wei Song is not a good person either, but she is soft-hearted towards both sides now. It just so happens that you are back today, so persuade her to leave the Jing family. She also has Linjiang Siqi to support her."

Shen Manzhi remained noncommittal. "Whether it's Jing Fuxiang or Wei Song, they're probably not as important as her father. She has her own considerations. If she really wants to leave the Jing family completely, I will help her."

Bian Shu sighed softly, "I'm just afraid that I'll be coaxed into submission by one of the parties again."

Shen Manzhi lowered his head and stopped talking.

Although people cannot empathize with each other, Shen Manzhi still felt somewhat touched after listening to Bian Shu's narration of the whole incident.

Maybe Jingmo has been giving opportunities all the time, otherwise who would really be willing to leave the place that once had true warmth.

"Starting from next Monday, I will attend the board meeting with full authority. Let's find a time to hold a meeting and hand over the work."

Bian Shu's hand holding the chopsticks hesitated for a moment, and he looked up, "Are you going to take over personally?"

Shen Manzhi said "hmm" lightly without saying the reason.

"Are you planning to settle down in Huaicheng?"

"Some time ago, there were big problems with the company's investment, and I'm worried."

Bian Shu put down his chopsticks and asked, "Is it about the urgent investment project that was cancelled a while ago?"

"It was the Qin family that intervened," Shen Manzhi looked back at him calmly, "They bought a large number of shares in the early stage, and sold them all before the Shen crisis. There are termites in the company. Don't you realize it at all?"

Bian Shu seemed to think back, "During that time, there were a lot of things going on at JC, so I didn't pay much attention to this side."

Shen Manzhi had no emotion. "I see that JC and the Qin family have a good cooperation. You are the boss, so you should not cooperate with the Qin family to do something bad to JC. I won't say more."

Bian Shu looked at her and suddenly smiled, "Click me?"

He suddenly proposed to take back the board authority of Shen's and directly pointed out the things he had done, such as cooperating with the Qin family, tipping off the Qin family to withdraw their investment, causing the stock market of Shen's to fall, and losing several billion-level projects in a row.

Now that the words have become so blunt, there is no need for Bian Shu to play dumb.

"I have done nothing wrong to you. I have also made up for the money that the Qin family used to withdraw their investment and secretly sell their shares."

Shen Manzhi didn't look surprised. "I don't mean to pursue it. After all, you did more than just this one thing."

Bian Shu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of amusement appeared on his usually serious face. "Why don't you pursue it?"

Shen Manzhi poured a bowl of soup and said, "It's not a good thing for me if both sides suffer losses."

If she really wanted to investigate, she couldn't get rid of the group of people in the alley building on New Year's Eve, suspected that there was a traitor in Linjiang who exposed her whereabouts, and there was the crazy secret photo-taking incident in Beijing after the New Year, plus her close contact with the Qin family that bit the Shen family back. Any of these would be very complicated for her to investigate.

It was on the day she just returned to China that Jiang Xu took her to see Bian Shu and the Qin family having a secret conversation that she decided to investigate. There were so many suspicious points, but she had never doubted him before.

But even after finding out, there was no point in questioning it. Who was the mastermind behind the photo incident and what was his purpose? Why did Bian Shu expose her whereabouts?

It seemed as if everything had lost its meaning in an instant, and this feeling made Shen Manzhi suddenly feel bored.

"I used to live a very comfortable life in the capital with Linjiang's background, I was rich and powerful. Now I am in Huaicheng with the title of a new noble, but I am restricted everywhere." Bian Shu poured her tea, "It's just a means of survival. Thank you for your understanding."

Shen Manzhi didn't touch it, but just said lightly, "Didn't Si Qi doubt you?"

Hearing this, Bian Shu looked at her with a smile.

The two looked at each other for a while, and Shen Manzhi suddenly remembered that after the New Year's Eve incident, she and Si Qi had mentioned that there was a traitor in Linjiang. At that time, Si Qi quickly changed the subject.

She pursed her red lips and felt a chill in her heart.

So Si Qi not only knew about it, but also condoned his behavior, right?
