In the end, Yan Bo could not persuade Yan Yuan otherwise and reluctantly said that he would never interfere in this matter.
It wasn't that he was shirking responsibility; rather, whether it was his own conjecture or the clues that Boss Tong had uncovered, they all pointed very clearly to Yan Yuan.
Clearly, he has become Yan Yuan's scapegoat for his injury and the incident at the construction site.
Before leaving, Yan Yuan specifically called Tong Xiaohuai in.
"Xiao Huai, keep an eye on Xiao Bo and don't let him run around. Until the doctor says he can be discharged, I'll take care of the construction company's affairs."
Tong Xiaohuai looked surprised. What did the two brothers talk about? Why did Yan Yuan end up taking the blame when it was clearly Yan Bo's business?
Yan Yuan naturally didn't have time to explain anything to Tong Xiaohuai. He patted Yan Bo on the shoulder, got up and left. But when he reached the door, he suddenly turned back to Yan Bo and said, "Consider this something I owe you."
Before Yan Bo could say anything, he had already slipped out the door and strode away.
"Brother Yan, he..." Tong Xiaohuai pointed to the door and tentatively asked Yan Bo.
"The situation with the construction company is probably pretty much as we guessed, so my brother will handle it strictly by the book and resolve it in the most common way, which saves us a lot of trouble."
Yan Bo originally wanted to take on this matter because he was afraid it would affect Yan Yuan's election next month.
But Yan Yuan was not a reckless person. Since he said he had a solution, he must have already come up with a foolproof plan. Therefore, Yan Bo was no longer worried about this matter.
Tong Xiaohuai looked at Yan Bo with some skepticism, but seeing that he did indeed look relaxed and at ease, she finally felt relieved.
"Well, if that's the case, then I'm relieved."
Yan Bo reached out and took her hand, pulling her closer. He then loosely wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Give me the phone, I'll tell Uncle Tong."
Tong Xiaohuai gave him the phone and took some fruit to the bathroom to wash.
She had no idea what Yanbo had said to her father, but she wasn't worried at all.
The fruit was brought by Yan Yuan. Just by looking at this fruit basket, you can tell how much Yan Yuan dotes on his younger brother.
Because all the fruits in this fruit basket are the fruits that Yanbo loves to eat.
What ordinary man would be so thoughtful? Moreover, Yan Yuan is the kind of busy man who is often too busy to even eat and can't find time to go home to see his parents for two or three months at a time.
"Your brother even knows you like red dragon fruit?" Tong Xiaohuai handed the sliced dragon fruit to Yan Bo, seemingly asking casually.
Yan Bo forked a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. "Oh... my brother has a poker face, but he's quite thoughtful."
Tong Xiaohuai nodded in agreement, and watching Yan Bo eat four or five pieces of dragon fruit with relish, she cautiously asked.
"So you and Brother Yan have made up?"
Yan Bo paused for a moment, looked up at her, and then smiled.
You noticed?
Having said all that, Tong Xiaohuai felt there was no need to pretend any longer.
Besides, she always felt that Yanbo's actions were inappropriate.
No matter what, his parents and brother have always treated him very well. Now that things have turned sour because of her, she, as the one who caused it, has to say something.
"Well, actually, I don't approve of you doing this."
Of course, Tong Xiaohuai also has a temper.
She was also angry at how Yanbo's parents treated her.
But she kept comforting herself with the thought that they probably just needed more time, that was all.
"Xiao Huai, I know what I'm doing, so you don't need to try to persuade me!"
How could Yanbo not guess the self-blame and guilt in her heart?
But he was also very clear that he could not back down at this critical juncture.
Because if he backs down, it will be even harder for him to get his parents to give in and understand him in the future.
Faced with such a stubborn Yan Bo, Tong Xiaohuai was at a loss for how to persuade him.
Yan Bo forked a piece of dragon fruit and fed it to her. "Don't think about them anymore. Instead, think about where we should go for the Spring Festival."
Tong Xiaohuai then remembered that she had promised Xiaomi that she would consider going on a trip to the border.
"What would you do if I told you I have another appointment?"
Tong Xiaohuai still hoped that if she weren't there, Yan Bo would probably choose to go back to Beijing for the New Year.
Yan Bo stared at her. "Are you serious?"
Tong Xiaohuai nodded, "Yes, Xiaomi and the others went to the border and invited me."
"You agreed?" Yan Bo didn't seem too anxious, after all, he knew Tong Xiaohuai too well.
"Not yet, but I really want to go," Tong Xiaohuai replied against her will.
"Then go ahead. There's a ton of work going on at the company. If you're not there, I'll work overtime at the company."
Yan Bo didn't seem to be acting out of spite, but rather as if he had planned this all along.
Tong Xiaohuai was stunned. "You're not going back to the capital?"
"I won't go back. Going back will only cause more noise, so there's no need."
Yanbo felt that both he and his parents needed some time to calm down completely.
That day, Tong Xiaohuai, who stayed at the hospital with Yanbo, tried her best to persuade him, but no matter how she tried, Yanbo insisted on his original plan.
In the end, Tong Xiaohuai had no choice but to compromise.
"Okay, I'll refuse Xiaomi. I'll ask my parents where they want to go when I get home."
Since Yan Bo has already stated that he will never return to Beijing, she naturally cannot let him stay at the company alone to work overtime.
Yan Bo was in good health and recovered quickly. Tong Xiaohuai stayed with him in the hospital for another night. On the morning of the third day, the doctor gave him a detailed examination and confirmed that he was fine, so he was discharged from the hospital.
Because she was worried that he would be left alone without anyone to take care of him, Tong's mother called early on to tell him that once he was discharged from the hospital, she would take him directly back to the Tong family home.
Yan Bo wasn't sure how long he would stay at the Tong family's house. On his way back, he made a detour back to his own residence to pack some belongings. Di Xu helped him put his luggage in the car and joked with him.
"Boss, why do I feel like you're getting married?"
Yan Bo smiled and said, "So, are you going to give me a big red envelope?"
Di Xu was startled. "Boss, you really mean it!"
Yan Bo did not deny it, "I also hope it's true! Of course, not marriage, but taking someone as a bride!"
Too many external factors are constantly affecting his relationship with Tong Xiaohuai.
He was confident in himself, but he dared not guarantee that Tong Xiaohuai and the Tong family would truly be willing to stand by him and endure all kinds of attacks and blows.
"Damn, so everything you mentioned to me last time was true?"
Regarding the marriage proposal, Yanbo tentatively asked Di Xu some questions.
At the time, Di Xu thought he was just asking casually.
After all, he's only twenty years old; it's far too early for him to get married.
"Yes, it's true!" Yan Bo readily admitted. "I'm not very familiar with L City, so could you keep an eye out for suitable venues and give me some suggestions?"
