Chapter 698 Xu Yi's Dissatisfaction with the Bo Family
He didn't believe that his uncle's plan had any ulterior motives towards the Bo family.
Just as Grandpa Bo was about to speak, he heard Sang Ruo's voice coming from behind him: "Grandpa, here's the blanket you wanted."
As she spoke, Sang Ruo didn't forget to cover Old Master Bo with a blanket, which warmed him up instantly.
He smiled gently: "Thank you, Xiaoruo."
"Grandpa, we're all family, so let's not talk about thank you or not. It makes us seem too distant."
Sang Ruo's voice was gentle, and her eyes curved into a smile: "I noticed that you've been having such a volatile day. I think I should check your chest first. I'm afraid you're having that old problem of chest tightness again."
Old Master Bo naturally wouldn't refuse: "Okay, let's go to the room to check, that way it will be more convenient for you."
Sang Ruo helped Old Master Bo upstairs, then glanced at Bo Jinyan standing in the living room downstairs, without saying anything more.
Some things are better left unsaid until we get back.
Grandpa's health is the most important thing right now.
Sang Ruo first examined Grandpa Bo's chest cavity. After the examination, she frowned and said, "Grandpa, please don't be angry. You've always had problems with your chest cavity. It had finally recovered a little, but now it's back to square one."
"I'll prescribe some traditional Chinese medicine for you. I'll have the housekeeper brew it for you every morning and evening. Just remember to drink it every day, okay?"
Grandpa Bo nodded firmly: "Don't worry, Xiao Ruo, I won't fall behind. I still have to hold on to these old bones and wait for my grandson to be born!"
Upon hearing this, Sang Ruo paused slightly in putting away her hearing aid, but still smiled faintly: "Grandpa, haven't I already given you a great-grandson?"
It's not that she doesn't want to have children, it's just that her current physical condition simply doesn't allow her to.
Just as Ayan said, the body needs to be recuperated before it can meet the conditions for reproduction.
“Great-grandson is great-grandson, and grandson is grandson. They are not the same.” Seeing that she was still a little shy, Grandpa Bo teased her, “You child, how old are you? You’re still so shy.”
“Grandpa…” Sang Ruo’s voice trailed off, her cheeks flushed red, like newly blooming roses, shy and bashful.
"Alright, alright, I won't say anything more." Old Master Bo chuckled, then suddenly changed the subject: "Xiao Ruo, don't take what A Yan's uncle Xu Yi said today too seriously. He wasn't targeting you on purpose."
He knew that all of A-Yi's targeting of Xiao-Ruo stemmed from his dissatisfaction with Xu Xu-Yu's death years ago.
Without this relationship, A-Yi wouldn't have treated Xiao-Ruo this way.
Upon hearing this, Sang Ruo's previously shy smile suddenly froze on her face: "Grandpa, you don't need to explain, I know what I'm doing."
She's not stupid; she's an adult and can tell right from wrong.
She was just feeling a little sad.
She always thought she was strong and could accept everyone's insults, but it wasn't until Ayan's uncle spoke to her that she realized she was still afraid and terrified.
No matter how strong she appears on the outside, when it comes to Ayan's situation, she reverts to her original frail and resilient self.
"It's good that you know what's going on. When you go back, you should also persuade A-Yi not to take it to heart." Old Master Bo's voice was tinged with fatigue and helplessness: "If you take it too seriously, it will hurt the feelings between relatives."
If Ayan continues to target Ayi like this, all the social niceties of the Bo family will probably disappear because of his overly forceful methods.
Sang Ruo nodded gently: "Yes, Grandpa, I will persuade him. Then I will go and prepare the Chinese medicine for you."
After saying that, she turned and left the room.
Sang Ruo prepared the Chinese medicine for Grandpa Bo, and then handed the prescription to the butler who was in charge of Grandpa Bo's daily life: "Butler, this is the Chinese medicine prescription I prepared for Grandpa. Just follow the method on this prescription to decoct the Chinese medicine, one dose in the morning and one dose in the evening."
"Okay, I will do as you say."
After giving the prescription to the housekeeper, Sang Ruo went downstairs to look for Bo Jinyan, but she couldn't find him anywhere in the living room.
Finally, at the entrance of the old house, I saw Bo Jinyan standing by the door of the Maybach, smoking with his eyes down.
Since they got married, Bo Jinyan has rarely smoked. This was the first time she had ever seen him smoke. His expression was so cold and aloof that it was as if she were in an ice cellar, and even the air pressure around him seemed to drop a few degrees.
Bo Jinyan's thin lips held a cigarette, the bluish-white smoke obscuring his handsome face.
It wasn't until the man, who was smoking with his eyes down, suddenly noticed her presence that he quickly put out his cigarette and tossed it aside: "Xiao Ruo, are you done examining Dad? Why didn't you call me?"
He thought the two of them would talk for a long time.
"I saw you standing here alone, lost in thought, so I didn't have the heart to call you." Sang Ruo paused, then added, "Ayan, didn't you say you were trying to conceive? Why are you still smoking?"
During the preconception period, both men and women need to quit smoking and drinking; this is the most basic requirement.
If you can't even do this, what are you talking about when you're trying to conceive?
Bo Jinyan's overly stern expression softened considerably: "It's nothing, I just felt too stuffy in the room, so I came out to get some fresh air."
But he was furious when he thought about what his uncle had said today.
Why did Uncle say those things about Xiaoruo?
"Alright, Yan, no matter what happens, let's go back first." Sang Ruo was also feeling tired; the family dinner had left her completely exhausted. "Let's go."
Bo Jinyan subconsciously looked up at the second floor: "Aren't you going to say goodbye to Dad before you leave?"
"Grandpa knows I'm leaving, so let's go."
She didn't need to say anything; she believed that the housekeeper had already told her whereabouts the moment she handed the prescription to him.
The butler is a very smart person; he wouldn't be so oblivious as to not understand this little bit of subtlety.
And indeed, the moment the engine of the black Maybach roared downstairs, Mr. Bo was already standing by the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor, watching helplessly as the Maybach drove further and further away from the old house.
He also hoped that Ayan could be less impulsive, especially when it came to matters concerning Xiaoruo.
Inside the Maybach.
Sang Ruo kept her gaze fixed on the man's profile, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing.
"Xiao Ruo, just say what you want to say, I'm listening." Bo Jinyan couldn't bear to see her looking so preoccupied; it made him feel terrible too.
Since he had already said that, Sang Ruo asked directly, "Ayan, what's the deal with the marriage agreement your uncle mentioned? Why did he say he was the middleman between you two?"
Could it be that Xu Yi was also involved in his marriage agreement with Wen Qingyi?
So, what is the relationship between Xu Yi and Wen Qingyi?
What is the relationship between the Xu family and the Wen family?
