Bo Junyi sneered, "I'm not here to ask for your opinion, I'm just here to inform you."
Bo Mingxiu frowned.
From childhood to adulthood, Bo Junyi had contradicted him only a few times, but today he disobeyed him again and again for a little girl he had known for less than a few months, which was completely unacceptable to him.
He turned around, opened the drawer, and threw a stack of information to Bo Junyi with a grim face.
"She comes from a poor family, her father is a gambling addict, she has a brother who's a bachelor and does nothing, and her mother doesn't have a proper job and relies on her for support - is such a person worthy of marrying into the Bo family?"
Bo Junyi glanced at the information and remained unmoved. "I know who she is better than you."
Bo Mingxiu narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice cold and deep, "Understand? Then do you know why she approached you? How could an ordinary college student climb into your bed?"
Bo Junyi's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Watch your words!"
Bo Mingxiu snorted coldly and stood up, his tone still firm. "I repeat, the child can be born and the Bo family can afford to raise her, but she - absolutely cannot be your wife! Qingyao will return to China the day after tomorrow, and you must go to the airport to pick her up!"
Bo Junyi said without hesitation, "No, what does it have to do with me whether she returns to China or not?"
Bo Mingxiu stared at him with hawk-like eyes. "The Bo family must take over the Shen Group's new energy project. I don't care what your plans are. We'll talk about it later."
"So, my sister and I's marriage is just a business of yours?"
"You've enjoyed everything the Bo family has to offer, so you should assume the corresponding responsibilities. Shen Qingyao is a thousand times better than that Li Susu, both in terms of family background and personal ability. What can that Li Susu bring to you?"
"She doesn't need to bring anything to me. It's my freedom to marry whomever I want."
Bo Mingxiu slammed the table and shouted angrily, "How dare you! Without the Bo family, who are you?"
Bo Junyi stood up, his tone still calm, "Then why don't you give it a try, father, and see if the Bo family can still hold the top spot in Jiangcheng without me."
Bo Mingxiu understood that this was definitely not just talk, and his son was not interested in inheriting the family business.
Five years ago, the technology company he founded in Silicon Valley was valued at 1 billion yuan. In order to get him to come back to manage the Bo Group, he flew to Silicon Valley in person and spent three full days in his office before he agreed.
Thinking of this, Bo Mingxiu regretted his previous dominance and sighed helplessly.
"What I just said was just an angry remark. As for Li Susu, I really don't know her well enough, so I'm not qualified to judge her character, but based on her qualifications—"
"Not qualified to be Mrs. Bo?" Bo Junyi said lightly, with a hint of sarcasm. "Just like you thought my tech company wasn't qualified to be called a business, right?"
Bo Mingxiu was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "You really still hold a grudge about this."
"No," Bo Junyi shook his head. "I just finally realized that you will never truly respect my choices. But it's okay. My mother understands me."
"Understand?" Bo Mingxiu smiled bitterly, lighting a cigarette and taking two puffs. "Your mother never even knew which way the company's front door faced. Of course she can tell you 'just be happy' every day."
Perhaps choked by the cigarette, he suddenly started coughing violently. Bo Junyi patted him on the back gently and said, "Smoke less."
"I'm already this old, it's good to live a life of freedom, but it's different for you. You're still young and can do a lot in the future. And the Shen family's foundation in both the political and business circles will be of great benefit to you in the future..." Bo Mingxiu advised earnestly and patiently.
Bo Junyi ruthlessly broke his fantasy, "I don't need it."
Bo Mingxiu paused slightly, tapped the cigar in his hand lightly on the edge of the ashtray, and gray ashes fell down.
"I have faith in your abilities." His voice softened. "Five years ago, I knew you were capable because you were able to build that tech company into a billion-dollar valuation."
Bo Mingxiu stood up, walked to the window and stood side by side with his son.
In the garden not far away, a maid wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat was pruning branches. The colorful sea of flowers was so beautiful that it looked like a painting.
The wife's figure soon appeared in the painting, and next to her stood a slender and tall figure.
Bo Mingxiu's eagle eyes narrowed slightly, and after a moment's hesitation, he continued, "But the business world is like a battlefield; you can't win alone."
Bo Junyi's eyes followed Li Susu in the garden, watching her stand on tiptoe to smell a newly blooming yellow rose.
"Dad, do you still remember the business war you took me to watch when I was fifteen?"
Bo Mingxiu was stunned. "The acquisition of Hengyu Group?"
"Yes, you told me that day that the real strong do not rely on others, but on this place."
Bo Junyi tapped his temple and said, "And here." He then pointed to his heart.
Not far away, Li Susu accidentally pricked her finger with a rose branch, and Wen Nianshu blew on her hand with heartache.
The corners of Bo Junyi's lips rose unconsciously.
Bo Mingxiu followed his gaze and sighed deeply, "We've only been together for a few days, and you already like her so much?"
"It's not love." Bo Junyi turned and looked directly at his father, "It's trust. I trust that she can always be with me. No matter we are rich or poor, she will always be with me."
Bo Mingxiu was silent for a moment, then put out his cigar. "Never mind. I'll give you a year. After a year, if you're still determined to marry her, I won't stop you. In the meantime, keep her identity a secret."
After a moment's silence, he added, "As for the Shen family, you can find a way to deal with it yourself, provided that it does not affect the interests of the company."
