It was human nature.
Going with the wind and following the trend was the norm.
The Bo family's reputation and status lie there, and they had the advantage in numbers while Jiang Yaoyao was alone.
It was apparent which side they would take.
When everyone finished speaking, the situation shifted entirely to the victim's side, Bo Yunxi.
The perpetrator, Jiang Yaoyao, sat on the sofa with her long, fair legs crossed. She smiled a little, but she did not make any comment.
Li Jing looked at her, then at Bo Jinlan.
Was this for real?
Could it be that his judgment was wrong?
Could it be that these two people were just friends?
Could it be that President Bo's patience and pampering in the car last night were all fake?
***
"Jinlan, did you hear everything?"
Bo Yunxi was very confident because so many people backed her up. "I was just passing by and wanted to say a few words to her. Who thought she would not only scold me but also hit me? You can see what happened to my face and my forehead. She scratched my neck! I would have been beaten to death by her today if no one had heard the noise and come in to save me!"
It would have been fine if she hadn't said anything. Then, a contemptuous laugh rang out in the room as soon as she finished speaking.
Jiang Yaoyao stood up from the sofa. Her exquisite makeup made her features stand out, and she looked even more imposing in her high heels.
She smirked, her red lips curling as she laughed arrogantly and unabashedly. "So many people are passing by in the hotel, but why would I only target you? Could it be because I think you're prettier than me?"
Bo Yunxi's beautiful and soft feminine looks favored her mother.
But now, her hair was disheveled. Her cheeks were red and swollen, and her tears had ruined her makeup. Even the dress on her body was pulled until it was extremely wrinkled.
She didn't look pretty at all.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yaoyao put on all her makeup, and her already delicate facial features were even more stunning. At a glance, she appeared like a wildflower meeting an earthly rose.
Therefore...
The manager looked at them and became speechless.
The others also fell silent.
Bo Yunxi was so humiliated that she was about to cry. "Mom, look at her. She beat me up like this, yet she's still pretending to be innocent."
"I'm not as pretentious as you!" Jiang Yaoyao laughed. "Just now, you kept calling me a bitch, and now you've become an innocent victim. What kind of rubbish are you? If you're so good at pretending, why don't you pretend to be shit?"
"Mom, she scolded me again," cried Bo Yunxi.
The third madam's face also turned pale.
After all, she was the wife of a wealthy family and was more patient than her daughter.
"Miss Jiang, we're all civilized people. Can we talk things out?" she asked elegantly.
"Sure." Jiang Yaoyao walked forward with her high heels. Her almond eyes lightly scanned the badge on the manager's chest. "Excuse me, Manager Wang. Does Shengting Hotel have a rule that during a guest's stay, unauthorized individuals are not allowed to enter the room without the guest's permission?"
"Of course." Manager Wang nodded. "We are a very formal hotel."
"Miss Bo broke in and cursed me without my permission. Can I reserve the legal responsibility to hold her accountable for trespassing into her private room?" Jiang Yaoyao's voice was loose, but there was a hint of unquestionable coldness.
Manager Wang was dumbfounded.
"Let's talk about beating people up." Jiang Yaoyao continued, "Miss Bo, you're saying I'll scold you first before hitting you. Then, please show me real evidence, whether it's a witness or material evidence. Do you think the people here are stupid and will get stirred up because of your one-sided words? Do you think we're all fools to believe what you just said? Do you think that I don't have any evidence on me?"
After saying that, she pulled up the hem of her dress.
A big bruise on the right knee of her white and beautiful leg already turned purple-black. What a dreadful sight.
Bo Yunxi stuttered, "You, you were the one who hit me."
"I admit that your current appearance is indeed my masterpiece, but you were the one who cursed first! You were the one who started it, and I was defending myself!" Jiang Yaoyao raised her chin arrogantly. Her red lips parted slightly. "Both of us were injured, but you couldn't beat me, so you went to look for your parents. I even felt accused of being the one who started it. Which idiot will believe you when you see such a three-year-old's trick?"
Li Jing would have applauded if it weren't for the awkward atmosphere.
Mrs. Bo was excellent!
Her little mouth was blabbering like a machine gun!
Not only did she clear her name, but she also turned the tables. In the end, she even forced everyone present to take sides because whoever believed Bo Yunxi's words was a fool!
She was skilled in both literary and fighting, eloquent and persuasive.
There was no need for President Bo to do anything at all!
There was more to come...
"As for why Miss. Bo wants to cross me?" Jiang Yaoyao smiled faintly and shook the cell phone in her hand. "If you are interested, I have a few photos here, all of which are of her and my boyfriend. No, it should be bed photos and sex videos of my ex-boyfriends now. It's great and exciting."
Bo Yunxi's expression changed. She rushed over, snatched the phone, and smashed it on the ground.
"Clang!"
The phone screen instantly shattered into pieces.
The room was deathly silent.
When Bo Yunxi returned to her senses, she saw the smug smile on Jiang Yaoyao's face.
Alas——
It was too late.
She showed everyone that she was guilty by throwing that phone to the ground.
Everyone had different expressions.
The truth of the matter was obvious.
"Li Jing." A deep and calm voice rang out. Bo Jinlan instructed his subordinates at a moderate pace. "Clean up the scene."
"Yes, President Bo." Li Jing immediately understood and quickly started to make arrangements. "Everyone, please come out with me."
Everyone followed him and left in confusion.
The door closed, leaving only a few people present.
"Auntie." Bo Jinlan said slowly, "It's not very nice to hear that the lady from the Bo Family and the Jiang family are fighting because of a man. So I suggest that this matter be resolved privately to save the elders from worrying about it. What do you think, Auntie?"
Mr. Bo was a man who was highly concerned about the family's reputation, especially in the past few years when the Bo family's business had grown bigger and bigger. As the saying goes, great prosperity comes with great scrutiny, so he had to be more cautious in speech and action. As children, they dare not have any unfavorable rumors.
"But there were so many people just now." The third madam quickly nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, Auntie." Bo Jinlan smiled. "Li Jing is currently dealing with the aftermath outside. Not a single word of today's incident will be spread."
The third madam looked at him and finally felt relieved. "Jinlan, it's all thanks to you today. Otherwise, I would really…."
"We're all family, and you don't have to be so polite to me, Auntie." Bo Jinlan's attitude was modest, and a thin smile hung on his elegant and handsome face.
However, if you looked closely, you would find that his smile was not as deep as his eyes, which were extremely cold.
***
"Miss Jiang." The third madam's expression was complicated. "I just found out about Yunxi's relationship. Don't worry. I'll handle this matter properly and give you an explanation later."
"It's not necessary, Ma'am," refused Jiang Yaoyao. " I'm tired of playing with Xie Jinran, anyway. Since Miss Bo likes him, I'll let her play."
Tired of playing?
Her speech was very clever and cunning.
Bo Yunxi was so angry that her face was contorted, but she didn't dare to be impudent anymore.
The third madam's face did not look any better.
As for Bo Jinlan….
Looking at the little girl's proud and lively face, the curve of his lips deepened, and his eyes were filled with a pure smile.
