Chapter 417: Reluctant to Leave
"I've already told Brother Wenfeng that we'll come to Xiangcheng when we're free to accompany you and grandma..." Fan Qingyi's eyes were gentle, and when she mentioned Li Wenfeng, there was a smile in her eyes that she herself hadn't noticed.
Bo Qihua's smile deepened a little because of her smile.
She raised her hand to touch her daughter's head, and her hand stretched out to Fan Qingyi, and she was in a trance for a moment.
The little girl in her memory who hugged her legs and hid behind her and shouted "Mom, I'm scared" has grown up.
She has a family that loves her.
She is no longer needed.
Bo Qihua hesitated for a moment, slowly withdrew his hand, changed direction and gently stroked her shoulder.
"...Okay."
She was still smiling, but there was a hint of melancholy lingering between her brows, and her smile was a little more lonely.
Fan Qingyi was quick to notice her state, smiled and walked forward to hold her arm, and asked, "Mom, Brother Wenfeng said he flies to visit us every week, do you, grandma, and uncles mind cooking an extra dinner for us on Saturday?"
Bo Qihua was stunned for a moment.
Then he laughed, "You all have things to do, and it's tiring to fly every week..."
"...Then we can come twice a month, once every two weeks?" Fan Qingyi smiled and gently shook Bo Qihua's arm, like a child acting coquettishly, but not quite.
Bo Qihua's heart softened, a sour taste rushed up to his nose, and he smiled, "Just come once a month, you come once, and I and your uncle Gu go once, how can we let you always be frequent flyers..."
"Then it's settled, pull the hook and stamp it."
Looking at his daughter's childish look, Bo Qihua smiled again, held her, and stretched out his hand to stamp it with her.
The other members of the Bo family knew that they were leaving, and they were reluctant to let them go.
Bo Xiaoliu was so anxious that he kept jumping up and down, "I still want to learn martial arts and swordplay from my uncle, but I haven't learned the move of getting off the horse and making a creaking sound yet..."
"I dare to ride a horse at full speed, why do you want to leave so soon?"
"Doudou, aren't you a doctoral student? Why is the school still so strict? Otherwise, don't go back yet, you stay and we can play together, I will take you to meet my little sisters..."
"And me, my classmates in the international class know that I have such a great cousin, and they all want to meet you..."
Adults express their emotions in a more subtle way.
Third Uncle Bo patted Li Wenfeng on the shoulder and called him a good boy, "Come and see me and your uncle when you have time. At our age, we will see each other less and less..."
As he spoke, his eyes slid from Fan Qingyi and the three children one by one.
Uncle Bo smiled and agreed, his eyes slightly red.
The family set up two bonfires in the manor for a farewell party. A group of people got together to barbecue, and a few people under the age of 18 were allowed to drink some fruit wine. This was unbearable.
The fruit wine was five or six degrees, and a group of half-grown children were still drunk.
The next day, Fan Qingyi took two bottles of potion specially prepared by Liu Manning and sent them to Mrs. Bo's room and Uncle Bo's.
She told the old lady, "This is a medicine I asked someone to prepare based on your constitution. It can help your body recover quickly. Remember to put two drops in clean water every day. After drinking this bottle, go to the hospital for a full-body check-up to see the effect. If it works, call me and I will ask someone to change the prescription based on your recovery status..."
"...Okay." Old Mrs. Bo took Fan Qingyi and took her to her cloakroom, motioning her to look at the cabinet on the wall.
Fan Qingyi was slightly stunned and looked at Old Mrs. Bo, "Grandma?"
"Where is the key I gave you? Open it and have a look..."
Old Mrs. Bo paused and said with some guilt, "I don't know what you like. It's... a gift bought according to your mother's preferences when she was a child. If you don't like it, I'll give it to you later?" Her
voice became lower as she spoke.
Fan Qingyi sighed in his heart, smiled and shook his head.
"Grandma has passed on her love for mom to me. The thought behind buying a gift is more important than anything else. I like it no matter what it is. Thank you, Grandma."
Fan Qingyi walked over, half squatted down, and gently hugged Grandma Bo.
Grandma Bo's eyes were wet.
She whispered in Fan Qingyi's ear, "Yiyi, I'm sorry, please forgive me, Grandma..."
Forgive her for hating her existence at first, because she made her most outstanding daughter a laughing stock in the whole Xiangcheng, and made her, an old lady, psychologically twisted, and transferred this hatred to her daughter...
She is a failed mother!
She is ashamed of her daughter and Yiyi.
Qihua had many opportunities to go to the mainland to bring her child back. If she had, she wouldn't have suffered so much. It was because she listened to Bo Qixia and believed what he said, which harmed her daughter and her only child.
This child is still so good to her...
Fan Qingyi squatted down, looked up at Mrs. Bo's eyes, and smiled, "Grandma, I received your apology. I... can't say forgiveness on behalf of my mother. I told you before that compensation should be given to those who owe it, only then will it be meaningful. If you are ready, you can go and talk to my mother. She should have been waiting for you."
"...your mother?"
Mrs. Bo moved her lips twice, opened them, and looked a little scared and a little confused.
"Yes. Grandma, I'll be waiting for you in Beijing. When you get better, call me anytime and I'll fly over to pick you up right away, okay?"
Old Mrs. Bo looked at her pitifully.
Fan Qingyi coaxed her with a smile, "We agreed that other people have their grandmothers to accompany them, and I want one too. You promised."
"...Okay." The old lady raised her hand and touched her hair, and smiled.
After coming out of the old lady's room, she went to a small courtyard in the back where Uncle Bo and his family lived.
After handing the potion to Uncle Bo and carefully instructing him on how to use it and what he needed to pay attention to in his daily diet and daily life, Fan Qingyi turned back to the living room in the front and saw Bo Qihua standing in the hall with a bad look on his face.
In just a short while, the old lady asked the housekeeper to take her to the women's prison.
"...said he was going to see Bo Qixia for the last time."
Bo Qihua's expression was complicated. He didn't say much and asked Fan Qingyi, "Are all the things ready?"
Fan Qingyi smiled and nodded.
"Go back to your room and rest for a while. It's very tiring to fly."
Bo Qihua watched his daughter go back to the room, and then said to Gu Yasheng, "Go find someone to keep an eye on them. Don't let them do anything else. Bo Qixia must not get out. Her final and only destination in this life can only be prison!"
"I understand. Don't worry. I'll send someone right away."
After Gu Yasheng finished speaking, before she had time to go back to make a phone call to arrange someone, she was stopped by Bo Qihua.
She pinched her brows and sighed, "Forget it, I'll go. If she really makes a scene on the spot, no one who goes with her can control her. If she takes Bo Qixia out, our previous efforts will be in vain!"
The two drove and took people to the women's prison.
The official who let them in said, "The old lady has been in for a while, and someone is watching her. Nothing uncontrollable has happened yet..."
As if to verify his words, he had just finished saying this when a fierce quarrel came from the living room.
