Yuan Zhengchong gasped. “What… did you do to Sichun?!”

“He shouldn’t… die.”

“Bo Jinchuan, you… Sichun did all of this because she likes you! Every time you hurt her, you’re stabbing a knife into her heart. Do you understand?”

“In that case, she should have died hundreds of times. Since she’s fine, it proves that her feelings are only so-so. However, feelings are both burdensome and disgusting to me. She said that if it weren’t for me, she would rather die. She didn’t know when to stop and retreated. In that case, I’ll help her. I’ve given her too many chances. I’ve given her all the face of the Yuan family. Now, I’m just solving my problem. It has nothing to do with Uncle Yuan.”

“You…”

“I haven’t settled the score yet. Let her stay with me for the time being. When I’ve settled the score with her, I’ll return her to you. As for the state banquet that she almost announced to the world, I’m afraid I’ll miss it.”

Yuan Zhengchong’s lips trembled in anger.

“Bo Jinchuan, don’t tell me that you deliberately delayed her because you didn’t want her to attend the state banquet!”

Bo Jinchuan smiled and said, “Yes and no.”

It was true that she wanted to settle scores, but the reason why she chose to do so now was not only because of coincidence, but also because she did not want her to appear at the state banquet.

Given her high-profile and restless personality, it was inevitable that Fanxing had to divert her attention to deal with her.

In a place like the state banquet, nobles and politicians from all over the world were gathered. If anything happened, regardless of the outcome, it would definitely affect Fanxing.

Public opinion had always been two-sided. Once the matter was established, there would always be negative comments.

Once the tempo was set, it became a group.

So what if there were a few?

Not a single one.

Yuan Zhengchong was infuriated by Bo Jinchuan’s cold reply.

Given Bo Jinchuan’s personality, it was impossible for him to release her.

After a moment of silence, Bo Jinchuan hung up.

Yuan Zhengchong stood up the next moment.

Seeing Yuan Zhengchong’s bad expression, Ye Zhiqing hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong?”

Yuan Zhengchong pushed her away and walked out.

“Sichun has been arrested by Bo Jinchuan. I’m going to the hospital to look for Old Master now!”

“What?!” Ye Zhiqing’s face paled and she followed him to the living room. Her body went limp and she fell onto the sofa.

They arrived at the hospital as quickly as possible, but Yuan Zhengchong couldn’t even enter the hospital.

This was the first time Yuan Zhengchong and Bo Jinchuan had clashed.

Bo Jinchuan had already arranged for someone to guard the entire hospital.

It was as if she had known that he would appear in the hospital.

It wasn’t as if he was certain.

That was because the guards of the Bo family were not surprised to see him at the hospital.

It was as though they had been waiting for him to appear.

“Mr Yuan, you can’t go in.”

Yuan Zhengchong held his breath. “I’m here to visit the Old Master.”

“Miss Yuan has already checked on behalf of the Yuan family today.”

See, she had even prepared sarcastic remarks.

Veins popped out on Yuan Zhengchong’s forehead. “I have something important to discuss with Old Master.”

“That’s even worse, Mr Yuan. It’s not suitable for Old Master to talk about important matters now.”

The hospital was heavily guarded. How could the Bo family’s guards be trifled with?

Staying here any longer would only be a waste of time.

Without Bo Jinchuan’s orders, he wouldn’t have stepped into the hospital tonight.

No matter how much trouble Sichun had caused, she was still his beloved daughter. It was fine if he slapped her twice to vent his anger, but if she was bullied by others, how could he not be worried?

But now that Old Master couldn’t see him, Bo Jinchuan felt that there was no way out.

Being trapped on the spot, Yuan Zhengchong didn’t know what to do.

After thinking about it, he could only arrange for his men to investigate where Bo Jinchuan had brought Si Chun today. If the Bo family refused to release her, he could only snatch her away.

At this moment, Yuan Sichun was lying in a cold room, barely breathing.

There were white walls on all sides. There were no windows or decorations. There was only a bed and a few medical equipment.

She had just undergone surgery and six bullets had been removed from her body. She had not been given any anesthetic. She was in so much pain that she wished she could die.

Right now, she didn’t have the strength to sleep. Her entire body was in so much pain that she couldn’t fall asleep.

Why did she have to endure such pain?

She was the eldest daughter of the Yuan family. She clearly had a luxurious life waiting for her. Why was she suffering such inhumane torture here?

But even now, she still wanted to live. She didn’t want to die. She was the eldest daughter of the Yuan family, and she still had to attend the state banquet. This was a chance that many women wouldn’t have in their lifetimes.

“Someone save me… I still have to attend the state banquet… I’m the eldest daughter of the Yuan family… Why are you doing this to me…”

–

In Princess Ava’s villa outside the palace.

The royal designer team sent the gown over.

It was an absolutely luxurious design.

Bei Xi watched happily as she stood in front of the mirror in her gown. She seemed to have imagined how dazzling she would be at the banquet.

Becoming the center of attention was something all women looked forward to.

They always hoped to be admired by men and envied by women.

Because this would prove their excellence.

This was their pleasure and the reason for their existence.

Bailey had also changed into her gown and walked down the stairs slowly. She was dressed in a long gown with a champagne-colored silk veil. On the outside, there was a long crystal chain on a heavy industry bracelet. It fitted her graceful figure and made her look alluring. As she walked, she emitted a dazzling light.

Ye Jingyun looked at her two outstanding daughters, Bei Lei and Bei Xi, with satisfaction.

Her daughters were indeed the most outstanding and worthy of her pride.

However, she was still the most proud of herself. If it weren’t for her, she wouldn’t have such a life that was above so many people. Her daughter naturally wouldn’t have such an enviable life.

She had given him everything.

“How is it, Mother?”

Bei Lei asked with a smile. Actually, there was no need to ask. She could see the pride in Ye Jingyun’s expression.

Ye Jingyun nodded and said, “It’s perfect.”

Bei Xi was wearing a blue mid-length gown with long sleeves. The collar and cuffs were inlaid with dazzling diamonds. She was also dazzling, but compared to Bailey’s elegance, she was more exquisite.
