Chapter 26: Chapter 26 Confrontation, exposing Xia Qingtian_1
A sense of dissatisfaction surged in Xia Qingtian’s heart, along with feelings of grievance and bitterness.
Upon hearing this, Bo Jingyan turned his head to look at the butler next to him, and coldly said, “Bring the contract. Add the driver’s demand to the terms.”
The butler, looking sympathetically at Xia Qingtian, turned to fetch the contract.
He wondered what Miss Xia had done to upset the young master.
Hearing this, Xia Qingtian widened her eyes in shock and instantly beca upset. “Bo Jingyan, how can you arbitrarily change the contract?!”
With this.
Wouldn’t she be trapped by the contract for her entire life?!
He could potentially make any demand?!
Bo Jingyan looked at her shocked expression, gave a sarcastic laugh, and coldly said, “Xia Qingtian, aren’t you the best at breaking promises and reneging on deals? You can deceive people, so why can’t I modify a contract?”
Deception?
What was he talking about deception?!
Xia Qingtian turned pale and nervously said, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about. When have I ever deceived anyone?”
Besides the fact that she concealed her true identity, she hadn’t done anything deceptive.
Bo Jingyan’s questioning… could he know her real identity?
But that’s not possible.
If he knew, how could he still let her appear here freely.
Shouldn’t he already have captured her, subjected her to excruciating torture, and brought her to divorce?
Bo Jingyan saw her feigning innocence, her clear and pure eyes devoid of any impurities, just quietly staring at him, transparent like crystal water.
Several tis, he had been deceived by her sincere and naive deanor.
So many clues had been repeatedly overlooked by him previously.
Thinking of this, Bo Jingyan’s anger surged within him, his face grew grim, and he stared harshly at Xia Qingtian.
He initially planned to expose her disguise directly, but with his grandfather still bedridden after a recent fall, he worried that doing so could startle the old man, so he decided to wait.
He planned to invite his grandfather to confront Xia Qingtian face-to-face, leaving her speechless, then force her to divorce him – all without alarming his grandfather.
Thinking of this, Bo Jingyan shot her a look devoid of expression and without saying a word, stood up and left for upstairs.
Xia Qingtian was stunned.
She initially thought that Bo Jingyan would start arguing with her.
Why did he suddenly leave?
She was full of doubts.
At this ti, the butler ca over with the contract and, seeing that Bo Jingyan had gone upstairs, asked Xia Qingtian concernedly, “Miss Xia, what happened between you and the young master?”
Xia Qingtian looked at the contract in his hand, her teeth biting her lower lip, and solemnly said, “I don’t know…”
After saying this, she briefly explained her encounter with Bo Jingyan at the Imperial Hotel.
Since that incident, he beca unpredictable and capricious, taking pleasure in tornting her.
After hearing this, the butler also found it strange.
The young master isn’t an unapproachable person; he wouldn’t get so angry just because Miss Xia took a leave of absence to do sothing else. There must be sothing more significant at play…
Bo Jingyan returned to his study.
With a composed face, he sat at his desk, picked up the phone on the table, and dialed a number.
The phone was quickly answered, and a dignified and elderly voice ca through, “Jingyan, why did you suddenly call ? Is there sothing you need?”
“Mr. Lu, do you have so free ti today? I would like to invite you to dinner and ask you a few things,” Bo Jingyan said. His eyes caught a glimpse of a picture on the desk.
The photo was one that Jian Xuan had taken from Xia Guohua previously.
Jian Xuan had been out of town on business for the past few days, and he had not been questioned about it yet.
Today, he was due to return to A City.
“I’m afraid I can’t today. I’m currently overseas! It will be five days before I can return. You can invite
when I co back!” Mr. Lu’s voice ca through, interrupting Bo Jingyan’s thoughts.
“Alright, I’ll contact you when you return,” Bo Jingyan finished speaking, made so pleasantries, and then hung up the phone.
He put down his phone, rested one hand on the table, his slender fingers tapping lightly on the surface.
His face was stern, and his deep eyes were shining with a frightening glow, as though deep in thought.
Jian Xuan was soone his grandfather arranged to be by his side when he first took over the company.
He was also soone his grandfather had nurtured from a young age.
In this matter… was his grandfather involved?
With Bo Jingyan gone, Xia Qingtian no longer had the heart to look at the contract.
She knew clearly.
As long as Bo Jingyan wanted to target her, it didn’t matter whether there was a contract or not.
What lingered in her mind was his words, “deception”.
Why would he suddenly utter such words, did he already know sothing…
When coupled with his unusual behavior these past few days.
She found it hard not to suspect that her true identity had been exposed.
Xia Qingtian felt uneasy, yet she couldn’t confirm her suspicion.
This passive, helpless feeling was truly uncomfortable.
Xia Qingtian sighed, feeling apprehensive as she left the mansion.
If Bo Jingyan really did know about her secret.
She could do nothing but wait for the impending judgent and accept her deserved punishnt.
A few days passed.
Just when Xia Qingtian thought her secret had been wholly exposed, Bo Jingyan surprisingly began to act normal once again, no longer singling her out.
Their argunts from before seed non-existent.
They reverted back to their previous, normal living conditions.
Even when she cooked, Bo Jingyan didn’t protest anymore.
This struck Xia Qingtian as strange, and she even doubted, wondering if she had overthought things before.
One day.
After preparing lunch and just as she was about to leave for the Gu Family, Bo Jingyan stopped her.
“There’s a charity auction this afternoon. Co with . I will pay for overti,” Bo Jingyan looked at her and said in a cold tone.
“But I have to go back to the Gu Family this afternoon…” Xia Qingtian instinctively wanted to refuse, but seeing Bo Jingyan’s face darken, she swallowed her words.
It’s better not to anger him.
Their relationship had just started to improve, and she didn’t want to return to the tedious days of repeated cooking!
It was really torturous!
However, Xia Qingtian didn’t want to agree imdiately either, fearing that sothing suspicious was afoot.
So, she tentatively asked, “Mr. Bo, why do you want
to accompany you?”
Considering Bo Jingyan’s status and stunning appearance, there should be many won who’d love to establish a relationship with him.
The status of a female companion was quite intimate, sothing many would covet.
There was no need for her to be the one…
Unless he had another purpose!
Bo Jingyan heard her words, frowned in displeasure and his voice dropped, “Why, do I need a reason to invite you?”
Today, Grandfather Lu was coming back to the country, and he would be attending the auction this afternoon.
This was a great opportunity to expose Xia Qingtian’s disguise.
Having her confront Grandfather Lu in person, leaving her speechless!
“Err… no need.” Xia Qingtian stamred.
Seeing her reaction, Bo Jingyan’s eyebrow twitched, he warned her with a hint of intimidation in his voice, “Xia Qingtian, don’t make
angry. It won’t do you any good.”
This auction.
Even if she had to be tied up, he would make sure she was there!
