56: Chapter 57 Reencounter with Yang Junyi

At this sight, both of them were stunned.

Yang Junyi.

He wasn't dressed so formally today, wearing a casual suit with his hair meticulously styled. He wore his usual half-smile, but now, that expression instantly turned stiff and gloomy upon realizing it was Yu Bo. The back of his hand was slightly red from the hot coffee, and he was wiping it with a tissue in his other hand, his gaze locked onto Yu Bo’s face like a venomous snake.

“Heh, I wondered who was so blind. It turns out it's Chairman Yu,” Yang Junyi sneered, his tone carrying undisguised mockery. “What, has Chairman Yu struck it rich and come to Hang Lung to shop? Buying something for Miss Yin?” His gaze pointedly swept over the exquisite gift bag in Yu Bo’s hand, which bore a prominent brand logo.

Yu Bo threw the used tissue into a nearby trash can, his expression calm and even somewhat indifferent. “Young Master Yang, what a coincidence. Burned your hand? Be more careful when you walk next time.”

Yang Junyi's face darkened, his eyes becoming even more sinister. “Yu Bo, don't get too ahead of yourself. You've just had a bit of dumb luck. Do you really think you can reach the heavens in a single bound? The gates of the Yin Family aren't for just any random nobody to enter.”

“Whether I can enter or not is none of Young Master Yang's concern,” Yu Bo’s tone remained flat, but his eyes sharpened. “On the other hand, since Young Master Yang has the leisure to drink coffee here, perhaps you should worry more about your own business. I heard that several projects 'Junfeng Capital' recently invested in haven't been going very smoothly?”

Yang Junyi's eyelid twitched. He had indeed stumbled on several trend-following investment projects recently, suffering significant losses and feeling quite frustrated. Yu Bo’s words undoubtedly poked at his sore spot.

“Are you investigating me?” Yang Junyi lowered his voice, filled with anger.

“Young Master Yang must be joking. Between peers, news always travels fast,” Yu Bo smiled, though the smile didn't reach his eyes. “I'm just offering a kind reminder: investment carries risks, and one must be cautious when entering the industry. Don't always stare at what's in others' bowls, or you might end up smashing your own.”

“Yu Bo!” Enraged, Yang Junyi took a step forward, almost pressing right up to Yu Bo's face. He lowered his voice, his tone vicious. “Don't push your luck! Yin Tianxue will be mine sooner or later! Do you think Yin Hanhai could really look favorably on an upstart like you with no background? I'm telling you, the cooperation between the Yin Family and our Yang Family is set in stone! You're nothing but a clown!”

Yu Bo didn't back down but instead moved closer, also lowering his voice, his eyes cold as knives. “Yang Junyi, let me tell you this: Tianxue is my woman. She was in the past, she is now, and she will be in the future. You'd better stay away from her. As for cooperation? In business, everyone relies on their own ability. But if you dare to target Tianxue again or use any underhanded tactics...” He paused, his voice turning even colder. “I don't mind letting you know what the true ruthlessness of a man with 'no background' looks like.”

The two men were of similar height, but their auras clashed silently. Yang Junyi was startled by the undisguised ferocity and certainty in Yu Bo's eyes, and a strange chill ran down his spine. He suddenly recalled some vague rumors about a potentially unknown power behind Yu Bo. But right now, under the watchful eyes of the public, he couldn't show any weakness.

“Fine, we'll see about that!” Yang Junyi gritted his teeth. Ultimately, he didn't dare to start a fight in a public place. He glared fiercely at Yu Bo, turned around, and walked away quickly, his departing figure filled with embarrassment and rage.

Yu Bo watched Yang Junyi disappear into the elevator before slowly unclinching his fist. A small coffee stain had spread on his cuff, looking somewhat unsightly, but he didn't care. He had long expected Yang Junyi's hostility and threats; he just hadn't expected to run into him here.

He looked down at the gift box in his hand; the blue ribbon was still beautiful. Regardless, the surprise for Yin Tianxue could not be ruined. He straightened his suit as if brushing off something unclean, then walked with steady steps toward the elevator leading directly to the garage.

When he drove to the Tiansheng Group building, it was just in time for Yin Tianxue to get off work. She was wearing a professional suit skirt, her long hair draped over her shoulders. She was chatting with several colleagues as they walked out of the building, her face carrying its usual coolness and confidence. Seeing Yu Bo's car, her eyes lit up. After saying goodbye to her colleagues, she walked over quickly.

“Why are you here? Didn't you say you had to work late?” Yin Tianxue sat in the passenger seat, pleasantly surprised. The faint scent of leather in the car, mixed with the elegant gardenia fragrance on her, made Yu Bo’s tense nerves relax a bit.

“I missed you, so I came to pick you up,” Yu Bo leaned over, took the exquisite gift bag from the back seat, and handed it to her. “Also, this is for you.”

Yin Tianxue took it and saw the brand logo, a flash of surprise in her eyes. She opened the box, and the “Star Trail” bracelet lay quietly on the black velvet. In the dim evening light inside the car, the diamonds and Paraiba tourmaline reflected a delicate and charming glow.

“It's so beautiful!” she exclaimed softly, her eyes filled with undisguised love as she picked up the bracelet to examine it closely. “How did you know I liked this brand? I haven't seen this design before; is it a limited edition?”

“Do you like it?” Yu Bo asked. Seeing her happy face, the bad luck from encountering Yang Junyi seemed to vanish instantly.

“I love it! I really love it!” Yin Tianxue nodded vigorously and handed him the bracelet. “Help me put it on.”

Yu Bo took it and carefully fastened the clasp for her. The slender, fair wrist paired with the sparkling “Star Trail” complemented each other perfectly, making her skin look even more like jade. She raised her wrist, looking at it again and again against the light from the window, the curve of her lips widening.

“Thank you, I'm very happy.” She leaned over and lightly kissed Yu Bo's cheek, leaving a soft touch and a faint fragrance.

Yu Bo's heart warmed as he held her hand, his fingertips stroking the cool bracelet. “As long as you're happy.” He thought that was enough. No matter how much wind and rain there was outside, at least at this moment, she was happy.

“What do you want to eat tonight??I made a reservation.,French cuisine,The place you mentioned wanting to try last time.”Yu Bo's tone was relaxed,Started the car,Slowly drove away.

“Sure.” Yin Tianxue leaned back against the seat, still admiring the new bracelet on her wrist, her mood joyful. “But why did you suddenly think of buying a gift? Is today a special occasion?”

“It's not a special day,” Yu Bo said, watching the road ahead, his voice gentle. “I just wanted to give it to you. When I saw it, I thought it suited you well.” He paused and added, “Besides, after seeing your father last night, I wanted to make you a bit happier.”

Yin Tianxue felt a sweetness in her heart and leaned over to kiss him again. “My dad is just like that; don't take it to heart. He already gave you a lot of face by not kicking you out on the spot.”
