Chapter 38: Bo Shen Apologizes While Kneeling
The atmosphere at the Rongshi Group was gloomy in the afternoon.
After a half-hour nap, Rong Wuye (the Fifth Young Master) began a meeting directly.
He occasionally glanced at his phone.
No messages, no calls, and even her credit card transaction history showed nothing.
Has she disappeared? Has such a significant person vanished?
No shopping, no messages, no calls?
Rong Wuye became increasingly anxious. He randomly opened some games, tried playing Go, and watched live broadcasts. None of it distracted him.
His anxiety grew.
After an hour's nap, Nan Huang got up, tidied herself, picked up her books, and went to the library.
She had a lot of books to read, not only for exam preparation but also for the new knowledge that had emerged during the year of her "death."
She immersed herself completely in her studies, unaware that after a brief tour of the school, many students had taken photos of her and posted them online.
There were numerous comments online, covering various topics, especially the posts about her getting out of a luxury car, which generated a lot of attention.
Later, a classmate finally pointed it out.
"Isn't this Ye Nan Huang from the Fine Arts department?"
"No way, did Ye Nan Huang become this good-looking?"
"I remember she had a birthmark on her face."
"The birthmark disappeared, and she became this beautiful?!"
"Didn't they say Ye Nan Huang married Bo Shen from the Bo family? It was even in the campus news. They're in the same grade, right?"
"@Bo CEO, come back to the school and take a look!"
"Bo CEO, confirm your wife."
"So pretty, such a waste."
"Look carefully, this girl is fickle. She married Bo CEO on one hand and is with another man on the other. She's taking all the benefits for herself. How can there be such a despicable woman?"
...
Nan Huang was completely unaware of the online buzz within the campus network.
At Rongshi Group, Rong Wuye had finished a meeting and was contemplating investment and development issues at his desk.
Yang Bo knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Yang Bo entered with a tablet in hand. "Young Master Wu."
"What's the matter?"
"Young Master Wu, take a look at this."
Yang Bo handed the tablet to Rong Wuye, who took it and saw a picture of Nan Huang getting out of his car.
The girl appeared simple in her attire, but somehow, simplicity suited her exceptionally well.
Clean and pure.
The morning sunlight bathed her, and she casually brushed her hair back, giving a faint smile to the person inside the car.
Rong Wuye's lips curled up. "The photo is well taken. Send me a copy."
"..." Yang Bo swiped the tablet. "Young Master Wu, some interns from West City University in our company saw this. It's from the campus network. Take a look at the comments below."
Rong Wuye read on, and the more he read, the darker his expression became. He suddenly stood up.
"Why didn't she tell me about something like this happening?"
Yang Bo said calmly, "It's not much of an issue. There are just a few malicious comments, which are inevitable on the internet. Besides, Miss Ye might not even be looking at the campus network."
That's true.
Rong Wuye tapped his desk gently.
Yang Bo continued, "One of the malicious comments here is from one of our company's interns."
Rong Wuye was furious when he heard that. "Then why is he still here?"
Yang Bo pushed up his glasses. "He's already been fired."
An employee who insults the boss's wife during working hours deserves to be fired.
Nan Huang was studying in the self-study room but felt uneasy.
People kept glancing at her.
A girl nearby looked at her several times, so Nan Huang turned to look at her. The girl had curly hair and looked as pretty as a doll.
Curious, Nan Huang asked, "Is there something you need?"
"Ah, um... did I... disturb you? You're asking me?"
"Yeah, I'm asking you."
"Um, no... I just thought you're really beautiful, even more beautiful than online."
Nan Huang looked at her and asked, "What's your name?"
"Me? Are you asking me? I am?"
"Yes, you."
The girl excitedly replied, "I'm Cen Si, a third-year student from the School of Technology."
Nan Huang nodded.
Cen Si said, "I won't disturb you. Can I watch you study? You study so seriously; it can motivate me."
Nan Huang nodded again.
As they were talking, there was a slight commotion in the library.
The feeling of being watched from all directions became more intense.
Nan Huang tapped her round pen and thought about what could be attracting so much attention.
Before long, she realized the source of the attention.
The library was already quite spacious, and a tall, handsome, and charismatic figure, Bo Shen, was approaching. His presence naturally drew everyone's gaze.
He was not only a student but also a local celebrity.
Handsome, wealthy, and popular among female students on campus.
Now that he suddenly appeared, it was no wonder she became the center of attention.
However, she couldn't help but feel that something was off. Why would a successful CEO, in his senior year no less, come to the school library? It couldn't be for studying, right?
Trying to block out the noise from outside, Nan Huang was about to resume her studies when she suddenly jumped from her seat.
Bo Shen had already reached her, and he knelt down in front of her.
Not just on one knee, but both knees.
"Wife, please forgive me. I beg you, forgive me!"
"..." Nan Huang couldn't help but mutter a curse.
Was he trying to force a showdown in the campus library or what?!
She had made her relationship with Bo Shen clear long ago, hadn't she?
Kneeling Bo Shen looked up at her earnestly. "Mu Yun was a misunderstanding. I've never loved her. It's always been you, always, always, always you. I just realized it too late, way too late. Please, give me another chance. I'll do anything you want!"
As he spoke, Bo Shen anxiously showed her his phone. "Mu Yun means nothing to me. I've deleted everything about her. She means nothing!"
Nan Huang pursed her lips.
She couldn't be too ruthless in front of everyone; she didn't want to know what outsiders would say.
But because of the original Ye Nan Huang's suicide, Nan Huang didn't want to give Bo Shen any face either.
No matter how deep his affection, what use was it after five years?
If only he had read her diary.
If only he had investigated the origin of Golden Boy.
If only he had been a little less selfish and had paid a bit of attention to Ye Nan Huang.
Then the original Ye Nan Huang might not have died!
"Mr. Bo..."
Nan Huang hadn't finished speaking when a shadow suddenly passed by.
A heavy punch
landed on Bo Shen, knocking him down.
"Everyone, please delete the photos from your phones, put down your phones. Thank you for your cooperation!" Someone nearby was handling public information.
Nan Huang finally saw the person who had struck Bo Shen just now; it was a man.
His face was dark, and his right hand was in a conspicuous cast.
