Chapter 265

Just as Chen Bohui was about to remain calm and observe what Xu Xinchen was up to, Xu Xinchen finally broke free from her emotions, opened her eyes, and stared straight at Chen Bohui.

"uncle…"

Chen Bohui snorted and put his coffee cup on the table: "Just get to the point."

Chen Bohui himself is a person with many things to do and doesn't have extra time to waste with Xu Xinchen. The fact that he was able to take this time to see Xu Xinchen is already because of Chen Ningsheng.

Now that he has had a conflict with Xu Xinchen, he is even more eager to leave, so his tone towards Xu Xinchen has become even more rude than before.

Xu Xinchen narrowed her eyes, ignoring Chen Bohui's impolite tone, and changed the subject: "I came to see you today about Ning Sheng."

Chen Bohui nodded proudly. He knew that Xu Xinchen had only come to see him because of Chen Ningsheng. If it weren't for Chen Ningsheng, the two of them wouldn't have anything to say to each other.

Seeing that Chen Bohui was finally willing to talk properly, Xu Xinchen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She pursed her lips, sorted out her thoughts, and then told Chen Bohui about everything that had happened before.

At first, Chen Bohui listened casually, but the expression on his face became more and more serious as the story progressed. By the time he finished listening to Xu Xinchen's entire account, his face was as black as ink.

Clenching his fists tightly, Chen Bohui coldly rebuked, "These bastards! They think everyone's easy to bully!"

"So it's a negative situation! It seems I've been too complacent for too long, which has allowed them to act so recklessly against my son."

Seeing Chen Bohui's performance, Xu Xinchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness she decided to tell Chen Bohui in advance.

If we hadn't told him beforehand, given how angry Chen Bohui is now, who knows how furious he would be if he found out about this from others later.

Chen Bohui raised his head, staring intently at Xu Xinchen: "Do you know who those people are who are targeting Ning Sheng?"

Xu Xinchen gently shook her head: "Uncle, I don't know. Ning Sheng never tells me these things. Every time I ask him, he just tells me that nothing is wrong and he can handle it himself."

Chen Bohui frowned deeply, a look on his face that was hard to tell whether it was admiration or something else: "This child has always had this personality, it has never changed."

Xu Xinchen nodded gently: "She's too stubborn. She wants to shoulder everything herself and is unwilling to show anyone even the slightest weakness."

As she spoke, Xu Xinchen also remembered what Chen Mingsheng had told her: it was okay to talk to Chen Bohui about this matter, but Chen Bohui must not be allowed to get involved.

She cleared her throat somewhat awkwardly: "Um, Uncle, let me tell you about this. It may sound strange, but please believe me, I have no ill intentions towards Ning Sheng."

Chen Bohui frowned deeply, and his gaze towards Xu Xinchen became inquisitive: "You tell me."

Xu Xinchen bit her lip, a hint of hesitation on her face, but after thinking about it carefully for a while, she finally said what she had to say.

He came out and said, "Uncle, Ning Sheng mentioned to me before that he didn't want you to get involved in this matter."

Chen Bohui's face darkened further: "What does this mean? He's my son. He's in trouble, and I can't even help him?"

Xu Xinchen blinked gently, feeling a little touched. Although Chen Bohui treated her badly, he was incredibly kind to Chen Ningsheng. Even though Chen Ningsheng had angered him, Chen Ningsheng was still very important to him.

Seeing Chen Bohui's sullen expression, Xu Xinchen reached out and gently tapped the table, her tone sounding rather cheerful: "Uncle, don't worry, why don't you listen to my thoughts?"

Chen Bohui snorted coldly: "Go ahead and tell me, I want to see what kind of nonsense you can come up with."

Xu Xinchen nodded, hiding her smile: "Ning Sheng is a very stubborn person. If you really forcefully intervene in this matter, even if it is resolved, he will not feel happy. He regards this matter as a challenge in his life."

"He has to overcome this challenge himself to feel a sense of victory. But if you interfere in his challenge, the whole thing will change, and he won't be happy. In my opinion, why don't you do this: just see how he does it first?"

“If you’re sure he really can’t handle it, then it won’t help him. Right now, he can still handle it on his own, so why don’t you let him take a chance? As far as I know, this company was started by him and a few friends. You didn’t have much faith in him at first, but now he’s doing quite well, isn’t he? Why not let him give it his all in this matter as well?”

Chen Bohui's expression was still grim: "He doesn't even know who his opponent is; the risk is too great."

Yes.

Xu Xinchen understood Chen Bohui's concerns, and she chuckled, "That's precisely why his stubbornness makes him want to keep challenging himself; that's who he is."

At this point, Chen Bohui's expression relaxed a little, no longer as dark and frightening as before: "This child has always had this personality since he was a child. I don't know how many times I've told him that he's easily taken advantage of, but he still refuses to change."

Xu Xinchen originally felt that Chen Ningsheng's personality was too stubborn. Except when facing her, he was always cold and indifferent to other people, which made him easy to suffer.

Hearing Chen Bohui say the same thing, I felt a surge of emotion, as if I had found a kindred spirit. I immediately began to tell Chen Bohui about everything I had experienced recently.

Although Chen Bohui didn't like Xu Xinchen, since everything Xu Xinchen was talking about was related to Chen Ningsheng, he didn't interrupt her and even became more and more engrossed in listening.

As the two talked, they discovered that their attitudes toward Chen Ningsheng were almost identical. Before long, Chen Bohui was amused by the things that happened in Chen Ningsheng and Xu Xinchen's lives and burst into laughter.
