I didn't even notice he came in.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

The sound startled Lin Wu and he turned around to look.

Bo Yuting leaned against the door frame with his arms folded, looking at her with a smile, "You like it so much?"

"……No."

Lin Wu was stunned for a moment, then seemed to realize something. He quickly retracted his gaze and put the six things back one by one.

She said, "I just want to see how bad Gu Chengbai's taste is. It's nothing like mine. He's still so long-winded and has so many things to do. Is it true that there are no mistakes in the machinery and equipment?"

Bo Yuting listened to her mumbling, closed the door, and walked over to stop beside Lin Wu.

Lin Wu put away the things and started to feel troubled again: "Where should I put them? I'm going to Danmaya soon, and I can't take them with me. It's not convenient to put them here. Should I give them to Xu Xianhuai for safekeeping? No, he will definitely take the opportunity to mock me for my poor taste. Send them back to China? But..."

Bo Yuting leaned forward and squatted, lowering his eyes to her level, and chuckled, "Have you forgotten that you have placed a confidant with Xu Xianhuai? Isn't it enough to ask him to keep it for you?"

Lin Wu paused.

Yes, she actually forgot about Zheng Qi.

If it were before, she would have remembered to make arrangements immediately, but now she is a little confused.

Realizing this, Lin Wu was silent for a moment, then suddenly reached out and waved away the gift on the table in annoyance, then stood up and went back to doing what he was doing.

But he was stopped by Bo Yuting.

"do what?"

Lin Wu's voice was also dull when he spoke.

Bo Yuting looked at her, stood up, pulled her to sit on the sofa, smiled and said, "Have I not mentioned my parents to you yet?"

This topic came up too suddenly. Lin Wu didn't quite understand why he suddenly brought this up. He shook his head in confusion, "No."

Bo Yuting took her into his arms and leaned back, occasionally hooking her hanging hair with his fingers. His deep voice was so gentle and soft that Lin Wu unconsciously calmed down a lot.

He said, "My father is the fifth child of his generation. You may not believe it, but my father and my uncle and four uncles don't seem to have the same father. Compared to their ambitions and abilities, my father is extremely ordinary. He has been an ordinary person since he was a child. He took the entrance exam, went to school, graduated, and worked like an ordinary person. Then he met my mother, fell in love, got married, and had me."

"My uncles are different. My youngest uncle was the successor that grandpa valued the most. After he got into an accident, they all became nervous. My eldest uncle wanted to compete for the position of head of the family, but my second and third uncles disagreed. The three parties' fight caused a lot of trouble. My third uncle was framed by my eldest uncle and had a serious car accident. He underwent more than a dozen major and minor surgeries before he was able to save his life, with only a lame leg."

Lin Wu was stunned.

It was the first time she heard about the open and covert struggles between brothers in a large family, and it was a bit novel.

"Then what?"

"Grandpa didn't care about them at first. He wanted whoever was outstanding to be the head of the family. But the incident with Third Uncle touched his bottom line. He was very angry, and the fight between Uncle and his friends stopped. Later, Third Uncle went to another place to recuperate and rarely returned to Beijing."

"That time, grandpa for the first time ever made my uncle kneel in the ancestral hall in front of the servants of the Bo family. My uncle felt that grandpa didn't value him at all and had a rift with him. Later, he met a woman, and grandpa didn't allow them to be together. My uncle severed his father-son relationship with grandpa and took the woman away abroad. It was only in the past two years that grandpa's attitude softened and he began to interact with the Bo family."

Bo Yuting narrated the story in a calm tone, and his expression remained calm when he spoke of these things, as if the person speaking had nothing to do with him.

Lin Wu was attracted by this and asked, "What about your second uncle and fourth uncle? Did they take over the Bo family later?"

Lin Wu was surprised: "You? How old were you then?"

"About eleven or twelve."

"You are so young, but you want to take over the Bo family? Why? Didn't your grandfather only focus on your uncles before?"

Bo Yuting explained: "It was my fourth uncle who brought me to my grandfather."

"After the accident of the third uncle, the focus of the Bo family gradually shifted to the second uncle and the fourth uncle. But the second uncle... well, he is not as capable as the eldest uncle, so grandfather favored the fourth uncle. But the fourth uncle wanted to find the youngest uncle and figure out what happened back then, and he had no intention of becoming the head of the Bo family."

"Grandpa had private talks with Fourth Uncle many times, but Fourth Uncle was still unwilling. Without a suitable successor, Grandpa began to worry and fell ill several times. Fourth Uncle had no choice but to act as an agent and look for a suitable person in the main and branch branches of the Bo family. He screened around but didn't find a suitable one."

"At that time, my father heard that my grandfather was ill, so he took my mother and me back to the Bo family to visit my grandfather. Then my fourth uncle noticed me. He said that he could tell at a glance that I was the same person as him, and asked me if I was willing to take over the Bo family. He and my grandfather would teach me personally."

Lin Wu was a little confused: "Before that, didn't your fourth uncle know you?"

Bo Yuting lowered his eyes, bent his head and kissed her, his tone more normal: "My father didn't like the internal fighting in the Bo family, so he moved out of the Bo family since college. After he married my mother, he didn't live in Beijing. He only took my mother and me back home during the holidays."

"Compared to them, my father could be described as unmotivated. So they were busy fighting and forgot about my father who was not in Beijing. Before that, I was not familiar with them. The only one I was familiar with was my uncle. He had a good relationship with my father and often visited our family. When he had free time, he would drink and play chess with my father and talk all night long."

Lin Wu said, "What happened next?"

Bo Yuting said: "Later, I passed the test of my fourth uncle and grandfather, took over the position, lived in the old house in Beijing, and never went back to the previous place. At that time, I was too busy and had no time to see my parents. They didn't like the Bo family and would not go unless it was an important holiday. Throughout the year, I saw them very few times. Sometimes when I think of them, their faces are blurred."

Lin Wu was stunned and looked up at him.

Bo Yuting met her eyes and couldn't help laughing. He pinched her face and said, "Little girl, don't look at me like that. I will want to press you down and kiss you to death."

“………”

Lin Wu's worry was gone, but he still asked, "What about now? Do you meet more often?"

Bo Yuting shook his head: "No. I don't even see them now, and they won't look for me."

"Why?"

Lin Wu asked in surprise.

Bo Yuting said, "Because what I did was too dangerous. Not long after I took over as the head of the Bo family, my fourth uncle told me about my younger uncle. He, the second uncle, and the third uncle actually wanted to find my younger uncle, but the second uncle and the third uncle already had families, so they couldn't investigate as recklessly as the fourth uncle did."

"I also wanted to find my uncle. But not long after I got involved, I realized the extent of the danger. I also realized that when doing something like this, there can be no weaknesses. Otherwise, it would be my parents who almost died abroad a few months ago, and the Huo family would use them to threaten me."

So just stay away.

If he is not close to him, those opponents behind the scenes will not feel that they can threaten him with them, and they will be in less danger.

Lin Wu was stunned. She didn't expect that Bo Yuting's relationship with his family would be like this.

She was a little puzzled again. "You didn't contact them because you wanted to protect them. What about them? Why didn't they contact you? Don't they miss you? Or..."

Bo Yuting understood what she meant and said, "The decision to cut off contact was actually what my parents told me when they left me at the Bo family."
