Shen Wanci had another label in Ji Siyuan's heart: materialistic.

Such a superficial woman, her brother must have been fooled by her looks. As soon as he knew her true colors, he would definitely despise her.

Ji Siyuan gave Bo Jingzhou a pained look: "The company belongs to the Lu family. Although I call Lu Ge 'Ge', I'm not actually part of the Lu family. I don't have the right to ask the Lu family to break their contract for me, but I will work hard to make money and will definitely not let you suffer."

Bo Jingzhou frowned and looked at him with disapproval: "You don't need to belittle yourself. Although you are not from the Lu family, you call me 'brother', which makes you my younger brother. As long as you tell me to return the cooperation case to the Bo family, I will have Wang Assistant prepare the breach of contract fee."

"Really?" Shen Wanci looked at him with delight: "Young Master Ji, President Lu has spoken, you..."

Ji Siyuan looked at Bo Jingzhou, who was speaking with righteous indignation. For a moment, she couldn't tell if he was genuinely low in emotional intelligence or intentionally doing so, but the words had already been spoken...

If he refused, then saying he liked Shen Wanci in the future would seem insincere. If he agreed, he wouldn't be willing to do so.

Just as he was caught in a dilemma, his phone rang. It was the alarm he had set. He turned off the sound and took out the new medicine prescribed by Dr. Wu: "Brother, it's time to take your medicine."

"Aren't these for after meals?" Bo Jingzhou looked at the medicine he took out, frowned slightly, and took the pill bottle from his hand. "How did the packaging change?"

"This is a new medication that just came out. It's more effective than the one you were taking before, and it doesn't need to be taken for as long. Take it before meals."

He beckoned to the waiter, ordering a cup of warm water. He then took two pills from the bottle and offered them to Bo Jingzhou.

Before Bo Jingzhou confessed, he didn't say where he was sick. Ji Siyuan cared so much about whether he took medicine that he even set an alarm. This pill is most likely problematic, or else Ji Siyuan, this dead pervert, is a "What kind of illness does Lu Zongsheng have that requires long-term medication?"

"My brother had a head injury before and often gets headaches."

“Headaches are a big problem, you know? I have a friend whose grandfather is a neurology specialist, the kind who treats heads of state. I could pull some strings and get him to take a look at Lu Zong?” Afraid that her enthusiasm would make Ji Siyuan suspicious, she added, “You just return the projects you stole to us, as a favor.”

Ji Siyuan: "No..."

Shen Wanci interrupted him, "Young Master Ji cares so much about Mr. Lu, he shouldn't disagree, right?"

“...”

"What is this medicine? I took it to show my friend's grandfather. New medicines shouldn't be taken indiscriminately; there might be some side effects," Taking advantage of Ji Siyuan still thinking about how to refuse, Shen Wanci snatched the medicine from his hand, "You guys are so lucky to have met me, you see. My friend's grandfather is an academician level figure who has already retired. Not just anyone can invite him out of retirement."

She sounded very convincing, but Bo Jingzhou only wanted to laugh. He knew everything about her relationships, including every animal she had raised throughout her life. He didn't even know any of the nurses, let alone an academician.

Shen Wanci took out her phone to take a picture, casually saying, "Young Master Ji, you wouldn't know, society is dark these days. Some people act as guinea pigs for drug trials. They don't want to try it themselves because they're afraid of harming their bodies, but they also want money, so they ask acquaintances to sell the drugs as new medications, letting others be the guinea pigs."

Ji Siyuan never expected this to happen. He took out the medicine on a whim and didn't bother disguising the bottle. If she had taken a picture, and then investigated it, wouldn't Bo Jingzhou's memory loss be exposed?

"No need, Sister Shen…" His tone was unusually high. After speaking, he didn't wait for Shen Wanci to react and directly reached out to grab it.

Shen Wanci jumped in fright, letting out an "Aiya!" and flinging the medicine bottle from her hand.

Ji Siyuan poured the medicine out before he could even put the lid back on, Shen Wanci reached out and took it. The bottle flew out, and the pills spilled inside.

Everywhere on the table, and on the floor.

"I'm sorry," Shen Wanci hurriedly got up to pick it up, "You suddenly shouted, and your voice was so loud, I was startled..."

She apologized as she picked up the medicine, "This medicine is dirty even if I pick it up. Let me buy you a new bottle."

Ji Siyuan gritted his teeth, took a long time to calm down, and finally squeezed out two words: "Nothing."

He knelt down to help pick them up. In that moment of bowing his head, his handsome and harmless face instantly changed, his brows and eyes filled with malice, terrifying as a devil crawling out of hell.

Shen Wanci, seizing the opportunity when Ji Siyuan had his back turned to her, curled her fingers and prepared to hide a bead in her sleeve.

Bo Jingzhou didn't participate in the act of picking up medicine. He sat in his place, watching her movements clearly, and lightly shook his head at her.

But Shen Wanci wasn't looking at him. She was completely focused, thinking about how to avoid surveillance and discreetly hide the pills. Of course, she didn't see his head shake.

Bo Jingzhou: "Si Yuan, how long can this bottle of medicine last? Is it still like before, finish a bottle and go for a follow-up check, then decide whether to continue taking it? The company is too busy, I really don't have time."

"This bottle has forty pills, enough to last you several days. The follow-up appointment is only a couple of hours away. Just find some time, and if it's really impossible, have Dr. Wu work an extra shift."

"... "

Hearing their conversation, Shen Wanci naturally put the pill into her palm along with other pills she had picked up.

It's even remembering the number of pills so clearly, it's really not a good sign.

She looked up at the man's back, truly annoying. Shen Wanci simply turned around to pick up the medicine behind her, out of sight, out of mind.

You can't openly hide medicine, what if it's the kind that can't be picked up?

"Sister Shen," after an unknown length of time, a chilling voice came from behind him, belonging to Ji Siyuan: "You stepped on my medicine."

Shen Wanci jumped up like a startled rabbit, luckily this time she learned her lesson and held on tightly, preventing the medicine in her palm from flying out again.

"What?"

As she continued asking, a realization dawned on her. She lowered her head to look at her feet.

She was wearing small pumps today, with a barely noticeable heel. Right under her heel, nestled against the shoe, was a pill that had been crushed by her foot into powder.

"Sorry, I didn't see that."

Shen Wanci hurriedly apologized, placing the medicine in her hand on the table. She took a tissue to wrap up the crushed medicine packet, balling it up and throwing it into the trash can not far away.

She looked like a little daughter-in-law who had done something wrong. Her hands were clasped nervously in front of her, her head bowed, her lips pressed together tightly, as if she was afraid that Ji Siyuan would scold her. She looked extremely cautious: "I'm sorry, how much is the medicine? I'll pay you back."

Ji Siyuan: "..."

Cowardly, lacks confidence.

How could this woman deserve his brother.

Because of this incident, several people lost their appetite for coffee and left directly.

……

Exiting the cafe, it was already after work hours, but Shen Wanci's car was still at the company. She had to go back and drive first.

Knowing that parking was difficult in this area, she took the subway when she came.

But this stop, whether taking a taxi or the subway, was very crowded. Anyway, it wasn't far, so I just walked past.

Her car was parked a little off, she came late this morning and the closer parking spaces were already taken.

"Beep beep."

She had just pressed the car unlock button when a figure suddenly approached her quickly from behind. Shen Wanci caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of her eye, and her heart skipped a beat. She instinctively wanted to run, the words 'Help me' already reaching her throat, but the person covered her mouth with a hand, forcefully stopping the words from coming out.
