Chapter 96 Your tail can no longer be hidden.
For some reason, Jiang Yimian noticed that Bo Jinzhou seemed very strange.
Although he used to be clingy, he's even more so now. Before, if she didn't want to go to the company, she could just act spoiled and be affectionate, and he wouldn't force her. But now he has to take her with him, even to a dinner party.
Jiang Yimian is easily embarrassed and blushes when teased.
She started complaining about his behavior in the car, but Bo Jinzhou, who had been drinking, smiled at her with narrowed eyes, letting her keep babbling on and on. No matter how much she refused, Bo Jinzhou insisted on keeping her by his side.
He took her with him on his business trip, even though it was only for five days, Jiang Yimian always felt like she was being watched.
So much so that she dared not contact Huo Yun, for fear of being discovered.
On New Year's Eve, Bo Jinzhou took Jiang Yimian to the Bo family's old house.
The old Bo family house used to be where Bo's grandparents lived. After they passed away, Bo Qingshan moved in with his wife and children. Bo Jinzhou was sent abroad for seven years, and this was the first time he had stepped into the old house since returning to China.
The old house is a large courtyard house with a long history and a rustic atmosphere.
Upon learning of their arrival, neither Bo Qingshan nor Ji Minglan showed up, leaving the two of them to wander around.
The two first went to the ancestral hall to pay their respects. They offered incense, and Bo Jinzhou held Jiang Yimian's hand tightly, his dark eyes fixed on the words on the memorial tablet.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Dad, I'm home."
Jiang Yimian turned to look at him and added, "Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma, A-Jin and I have come back to see you."
Bo Jinzhou smiled and said, "They're much happier to see you than to see me."
Jiang Yimian raised her eyebrows smugly: "That's right, everyone has liked me the most since I was little."
A servant came and invited Bo Jinzhou to the study.
"You play by yourself for now, we'll go back when I come out."
Jiang Yimian nodded and watched him leave before walking towards the back garden.
The old house has a large garden, where she loved to play hide-and-seek when she was a child.
She stood in front of a decades-old osmanthus tree, her gaze fixed on the roots.
She found a small shovel in the gardener's storage room and started digging little by little.
When I was a child, time capsules were very popular for a while. You would put things you wanted to do for your future self and important things into a box, bury it, and then dig it up years later.
She thought it was a lot of fun at the time and dragged Bo Jinzhou along to play with her.
When asked to write down a goal or put his most important thing in it, Bo Jinzhou did not cooperate.
Jiang Yimian made a fuss for a long time before he reluctantly agreed.
Jiang Yimian forced him to write a letter, but the contents of the letter were not written according to Bo Jinzhou's wishes, because Jiang Yimian couldn't help but peek at it and found that it was full of what he wanted to do and what achievements he wanted to make in the future, which was not interesting at all.
Jiang Yimian instructed him to write, overturning everything he had written before, and rewriting it as if he would earn money to buy her dolls, be Princess Mianmian's guardian forever, and hope that Princess Mianmian would always be happy and joyful in the future.
Jiang Yimian used to love collecting all kinds of dolls, all of them limited editions. Jiang Hua felt it was wrong for her to spend money so extravagantly at such a young age, so she restricted her from buying these limited edition dolls.
This made her even more eager to buy dolls.
She also put in some things she considered precious, but Jiang Yimian didn't know exactly what she put in, because Bo Jinzhou refused to let her see.
The burial site was chosen by Jiang Yimian, and only Bo Jinzhou and his grandfather knew about this little secret between the two.
The two agreed to dig it up in ten years, but the time capsule was forgotten for seventeen years.
Now that Jiang Yimian had dug it out, looking at the wooden box that had been corroded beyond recognition by the soil, she wiped the soil off it and put it in her bag in a plastic bag.
It was just a childhood joke; there's no need to continue.

Inside the study.
Bo Qingshan said kindly, "Ah Jin, I was impulsive last time. Thanks to you, I was able to see the true nature of Lu Wenchang's family. They are truly heartless and ruthless."
"In the future, we can cooperate to grow bigger and stronger together. With your abilities, you will have a bright future."
Bo Jinzhou was too lazy to play along with his act of a loving family. He took out a cigarette and said, "Stop pretending. Aren't you tired of pretending for so long?"
Bo Qingshan's expression changed: "Ah Jin, what are you saying?"
"Literally, if you can't hear clearly, I suggest you get your hearing checked."
Bo Qingshan's lips twitched as he stared at him fiercely. "What do you want to do?"
Bo Jinzhou sat languidly on the black leather sofa, lit a cigarette and held it between his fingers, his expression indifferent: "Bo Qingshan, it's time for you to step down."
Bo Qingshan instantly flew into a rage, smashing the blue-and-white porcelain cup heavily on the ground. "You've gone too far!"
"I've been running the Bo family business for so many years. How much effort have I put in? You think you can just take it away like that?"
“I am the first heir of the Bo family. You have only been temporarily managing things all these years.”
Bo Qingshan suddenly smiled, looking smug: "Do you have any evidence? The old man didn't leave a will when he died."
Bo Jinzhou stood up and buttoned his suit jacket, his expression cold and stern: "Then we'll wait and see."
Bo Qingshan warned, "If you ruin all the hard work I've put in over the years, I'll drag you down to hell with me."
Bo Jinzhou's eyes were cold, and his voice was deep and icy: "This isn't the first time you've dragged me down to hell."
"Bo Qingshan, your tail can no longer be hidden."

In the car, Jiang Yimian looked at the street scene rushing past the window and asked, "What did you and Bo Qingshan talk about just now?"
"Didn't you two have a falling out? Aren't you afraid he'll assassinate you?"
Bo Jinzhou turned his gaze over, a smirk playing on his lips: "You care about me, huh?"
Jiang Yimian rolled her eyes. "I was just reminding you."
Bo Jinzhou held her hand and played with it, saying, "My wife is so considerate."
"Little cotton-padded jacket".
Jiang Yimian: "..."
I can't be bothered with him; he's a bit disgusting.
When she got home, Wang Ma had already prepared dinner. She was especially happy, as it was the first time she had spent the New Year with the two of them. Wang Ma had prepared a whole table full of dishes.
Jiang Yimian smiled helplessly, "Wang Ma, there are so many dishes, I don't think we can finish them all next year."
Aunt Wang smiled, her eyes crinkling: "If you can't finish it, we'll eat slowly. Besides, you should eat more. You're too thin. It'll be easier to have children if you get in good health."
Jiang Yimian coughed lightly, sensing the pressure from her elders to have children. She reached out and tugged at Bo Jinzhou's sleeve. Bo Jinzhou received the message and said in a good mood, "Aunt Wang, we want to enjoy a few more years of our life as a couple."
Wang Ma: "Then you have to get your health back on track. It's never good to be sick."
After dinner, Han Feng, Chu Yao, and Tan Yusu arrived at Yunduan.
Jiang Yimian had been having bad luck playing mahjong, so she simply asked Bo Jinzhou to take over.
Having lost a lot of money before, Jiang Yimian pinned her hopes on Bo Jinzhou, personally massaging his shoulders, "Bo Jinzhou, whether I can win back the money I've lost over the years depends on you."
Bo Jinzhou skillfully deployed his troops, saying, "Alright, I'll win it back for you, husband."
The other three exclaimed in surprise.
Han Feng: "Ah Jin, you're really disgusting now."
Chu Yao: "Seriously, can you please stop showing off your love in front of us?"
Tan Yusu shrugged: "I'm covered in goosebumps."
