Chapter 237: Chapter 237: Kick Them Out Chapter 237: Chapter 237: Kick Them Out He just couldn’t figure out what kind of relationship Jiang Zhe had that even Qin He would treat him with such an attitude.

Qin He was relieved only after seeing that Jiang Zhe wasn’t hurt.

Xia Enci had already spoken out, “Qin He, it’s not a misunderstanding at all. It’s this Chen Bo’an and his cronies who insisted that Xiaozhe and I accompany them upstairs for a meal. This is outright harassment of respectable women on the street! Look at them, they might even be plotting something bad!”

Wang Shaojie immediately objected, “No, there’s no such thing. It was clearly because we knew Jiang Zhe liked Chen Bo’an that we invited her to have a meal…”

“With behavior so frivolous, how is that a sincere invitation to dinner? No, how could Xiaozhe possibly like him?” Xia Enci pierced through his lies one by one.

“Alright, it’s my fault. I apologize to Jiang Zhe,” said Chen Bo’an, eager to settle the matter.

Wang Shaojie and Kuang Bo were not convinced but they also didn’t dare to argue with Qin He too much.

“Sorry, Jiang Zhe,” Chen Bo’an squeezed out a sentence through clenched teeth.

Wang Shaojie and Kuang Bo also apologized.

Qin He wanted to say something more, but Jiang Zhe said coldly, “Let them get lost.”

Chen Bo’an and the others’ faces changed dramatically, and Qin He extended his hand, making a dismissive gesture.

“Assistant Qin, I will compensate for the damage here, so I won’t bother you any longer.” Chen Bo’an left with his group.

Qin He immediately had someone tidy up the scene and rearrange a new dinner.

He didn’t keep the incident to himself, and promptly told Qin Jingchen about it.

As for why Chen Bo’an came looking for Jiang Zhe, he had already found out clearly.

Qin Jingchen’s tone was somewhat cold, “Keep an eye on Chen Bo’an and see what he’s really up to.”

“Understood.” Qin He nodded.

“Are you okay?” Jiang Zhe took Xia Enci’s hand to check it.

“I’m fine, really. But your moves just now were pretty impressive!” Xia Enci was stunned. She had always prided herself on her strength and high combat ability, and couldn’t help but admire Jiang Zhe.

Seeing that she was okay, Jiang Zhe picked up his knife and fork to start cutting the newly served food in front of him.

After Chen Bo’an left, he immediately started looking into Jiang Zhe’s identity and his relationship with Qin He.

What he could find out wasn’t much, all trivial matters.

“Bo’an, do you think this Jiang Zhe could be related to Boss Qin?”

Wang Shaojie asked this question, and Kuang Bo laughed outright, “How could that be possible? You know as well as I do that Boss Qin wants for nothing, totally indifferent to women.”

“But Qin He is very respectful towards her…”

“Qin He is just an assistant. He used to follow Boss Qin around, but Qin Hai has long been by Boss Qin’s side. Don’t you know that Qin He has been out of sight for a long time?” said Kuang Bo.

Chen Bo’an felt what Kuang Bo said made sense; Jiang Zhe was only arrogant because of Qin He’s support.

If she’s so arrogant, why bother provoking me?

He pictured Jiang Zhe’s face in his mind, feeling somewhat restless.

Snuffing out his cigar, he said, “Find out where Jiang Zhe usually goes. Get someone to bring her to me.”

Wang Shaojie and Kuang Bo immediately understood. As long as she wasn’t Boss Qin’s woman, there was no issue.

In Beijing, there wasn’t a single beautiful girl Chen Bo’an wanted that had slipped through the net.

…

With only two days until New Year’s, after what had occurred, Xia Enci no longer felt like shopping and stayed at home.

Ding Yuehua invited Jiang Yaowang along with them for a meal.

Jiang Zhe and Xia Enci both excused themselves, saying they had friends to meet and didn’t go.

Jiang Yaowang didn’t insist either, only taking Jiang Xiruo with him.

At the meal, not seeing Jiang Zhe and Xia Enci, Ding Yuehua was a bit nervous, fearing Jiang Zhe would complain; she even thought of the excuses she would use.

However, Jiang Yaowang did not bring up the matter.

Ding Yuehua had dodged a bullet.

She introduced Jiang Yaowang to her cousin and cousin’s husband, and they had an enjoyable conversation during the meal.

Outside the residence where Jiang Zhe was staying, Chen Bo’an had called a few underlings to keep watch, ready to take her away as soon as she emerged.

Chen Bo’an had never suffered a loss where women were concerned; the few times he had caused a mess in the past, his parents had quickly smoothed things over.

Taking Jiang Zhe away wasn’t going to be a big deal.

With the precondition that Jiang Zhe liked him, what else could not be achieved?

Qin He immediately reported the situation to Qin Jingchen.

Once could be ignored, but not a second time.

Qin Jingchen said, “Leave it to Chen Li to handle it.”

Chen Li was Chen Bo’an’s father, and at this moment, he was dining with Jiang Yaowang, Jiang Cheng, and others.

Ding Yuehua and Yao Xiangzhi were accompanying them.

Ding Xuexue, as the junior at the table, behaved well and livened up the atmosphere.

Chen Li raised his glass to toast everyone and, after sitting down, said, “It’s a bit regrettable that my two nieces didn’t come today.”

“Jiang Zhe and Enci probably aren’t used to the environment in Beijing yet, so they’re reluctant to come out,” Ding Xuexue said with a smile. “I’ll accompany them around more later.”

“I see,” Chen Li nodded.

Neither Ding Yuehua nor Yao Xiangzhi picked up on the conversation, pretending not to mind that the matchmaking had come to nothing, which was false.

But even if they disapproved, they were powerless.

Chen Li’s phone rang, and after a glance, he excused himself and went out to answer the call.

When he returned, his expression was clearly anxious.

“Everyone, my apologies, I have some urgent work to deal with.”

Knowing how busy he was, everyone expressed their understanding.

“I have to leave first.”

Yao Xiangzhi was a bit worried about her husband and asked, “Nothing serious, I hope?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.”

Ding Yuehua said with a smile, “My cousin-in-law is really busy, being called away at this time must mean very important work.”

“Being busy is like this, always too occupied for even a hot meal. But serving others is what should be done,” Yao Xiangzhi added humbly.

After Chen Li left, he immediately made a phone call, “Why doesn’t he understand the situation? What’s the current status?”

“Director Chen, the other party has made their position clear. If your son doesn’t face the consequences, it could affect your career trajectory. Otherwise, you…”

The speaker, an official higher in rank who normally looked out for him, had already repeated this point once and did not continue.

Chen Li was full of anxiety.

His son, Chen Bo’an, had gotten drunk at a nightclub that evening, and not only that, but he had also spiked a bottle of wine with drugs, forcing other girls to drink it.

One of the girls happened to be from the powerful Li Family of Beijing, who, along with friends, had gone to the nightclub for fun and caught Chen Bo’an’s eye; he insisted on making her drink.

The incident had escalated significantly.

Chen Li had worried about this son countless times before, had both hit him and scolded him, but to no avail; the boy just did not reform.

This time, he had hit a snag, and not only were the other party unwilling to let things go easily, but they had also dug up all his past misdeeds.
