Chapter 832 Old Master Bo's Questioning
"Now?" Sang Ruo was extremely worried when she heard his panting. She couldn't help but ask, "Dad, are you alright? Should I rush over to check on you right now?"
She has been staying at home to recuperate and take care of the children, so she has indeed been visiting Grandpa Bo less often.
Old Master Bo already had chest problems and often experienced chest tightness. Without her frequent visits to the Bo family's old residence to check on him, how could he not have problems?
Thinking of this, Sang Ruo couldn't help but blame herself.
Upon hearing this, a faint smile suddenly appeared on Old Master Bo's lips: "Alright, I'll wait for you at the old house."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Sang Ruo put away her phone. She had originally planned to go directly there, but seeing that it was getting late, she walked to the door of the study and knocked.
"Come in."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sang Ruo pushed open the door and walked straight to his desk: "Ayan, I need to go to the Bo family's old house now. The old man is not feeling well, and I need to go see him."
“Then I’ll go with you.” Bo Jinyan put the pen cap back on, then took out his car keys from his desk drawer, ready to go with her.
Seeing that he seemed to really want to go with her, Sang Ruo quickly stopped him: "Ayan, Dad isn't feeling well. I can go over there myself. You should stay home with Xiaokang and Linlin. I'll come back after I've finished examining Dad."
“No.” Ever since her car accident, Bo Jinyan has been afraid to let her go out alone. “Xiao Ruo, even if you’re just going to get Dad checked out, I have to go with you. What if something happens?”
The last time, she had an accident while driving alone to her studio, which caused her to be in a coma for so long, and she has not yet recovered.
Having learned such a painful lesson, he absolutely could not allow anything to happen to her again.
“But…” Sang Ruo seemed to want to refuse, but Bo Jinyan interrupted her, saying, “Alright, no buts. I’ll go back with you. It’s been a long time since I’ve been back.”
He also wanted to go back and see his father.
Seeing that he insisted on going with her, Sang Ruo had no choice but to say, "Okay."
After saying that, the two held hands and went downstairs together.
Half an hour later, the black Maybach came to a steady stop in front of the Bo family's old mansion. The butler, who had been waiting at the door, opened the car door for them with great care. When Sang Ruo and Bo Jinyan went inside, they found that the old man Bo did not seem to be asleep yet.
"Dad? Why are you sitting in the living room?" Sang Ruo asked, puzzled. "Weren't you feeling unwell?"
Why would someone who's not feeling well be sitting in the living room? It's like they were waiting specifically for the two of them to come...
Old Master Bo stared coldly at his son: "Ayan, shouldn't you give me an explanation for what happened between the Lu family and the Xu family recently?"
“Dad, if you’re talking about the fifty million US dollars, I can explain it to you.” When Bo Jinyan met the old man’s eyes, he seemed to understand something, but he didn’t expose him: “I did this entirely to make the Lu family back down. My target is Wen Qingyi, not the Lu family.”
If Xu Chen hadn't insisted on helping Wen Qingyi, he wouldn't have resorted to this method to deal with him.
He had already been very patient, and out of consideration for their kinship, he had given Xu Chen plenty of face.
It was Xu Chen's own lack of appreciation and failure to heed his warnings that led to this situation.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Bo finally understood his purpose: "So, your target isn't the Lu family, but your own cousin Xu Chen? Ayan, have you forgotten that Xu Chen is your cousin! Your own cousin! How can you treat them like this because of a woman? How am I and your uncle supposed to explain this?"
For so many years, he has been carefully maintaining his relationship with the Xu family. But after this incident, can the relationship between the Bo family and the Xu family continue?
“But that woman is the enemy of both Xiaoruo and me! She is the reason why Xiaoruo still has to stay at home to recuperate!” Bo Jinyan had never forgotten the hatred between them and Wen Qingyi: “Dad, I know you have sacrificed a lot to maintain the relationship between our family and the Xu family, but a relationship cannot be maintained by one party alone!”
"For so many years you've carefully maintained your relationship with the Xu family, but look at how much my uncle cares about our family! He's never forgotten how my mother died! How much longer are you going to let my uncle control you?"
Such a kinship relationship was inherently unequal. He had always maintained a humble attitude towards the Xu family. The Xu family had occupied a high position for so many years, shouldn't that be enough?
He just couldn't stand seeing his father fawning over the Xu family like that!
Even if it's to compensate for my mother's death back then, after so many years, it should be enough!
Old Master Bo's expression darkened after hearing his words. He remained silent for a moment before speaking again: "No matter how we handle it, these are things we owe the Xu family!"
“Ayan, I don’t want to get involved in your conflict with that woman Wen Qingyi, nor can I, but you just can’t treat your cousin Xu Chen like this!”
As relatives, he didn't want the relationship between the two families to fall into a stalemate because of Wen Qingyi.
That's too much of a loss, it's not worth it.
"Dad, do you expect me to let Wen Qingyi, the culprit, go free just so I don't offend the Xu family?" Bo Jinyan couldn't accept this outcome: "Don't you think this is fair to Xiao Ru? Xiao Ru was schemed against by her so badly that she almost became a vegetable!"
"I absolutely cannot let this woman off so easily! She must pay the price!"
He wanted Wen Qingyi to know that no matter who helped her, no matter which man she relied on, as long as Bo Jinyan was alive, he would never let her go easily!
Upon hearing this, Old Master Bo frowned, his tone revealing a hint of displeasure: "I didn't stop you from making her pay the price, but you could have just informed Wen Qingyi. Why drag your cousin into this? How innocent is he?"
The conflict between him and Wen Qingyi is best resolved behind closed doors.
Why involve others?
Especially since this person is his own cousin!
"He's innocent?" Bo Jinyan murmured these words repeatedly, seemingly finding it somewhat amusing: "Dad, you have no idea what Xu Chen has gone to for Wen Qingyi. Now, even his feelings for Nan Chu can't compare to how much he cares about Wen Qingyi!"
"Just like that, an irreparable rift appeared in the relationship between Nan Chu and Xu Chen. Just like that... is he still innocent?"
He's innocent my ass!
If Xu Chen hadn't been secretly helping Wen Qingyi, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
