Chapter 695 The Bo Family Banquet
The implication is that after she has a child, she won't take care of Xiaokang as she used to.
Although she also longed to have a child with him, she was also afraid that Xiaokang would be hurt because of it.
After all, now that Xiaokang's father is in jail, she's all alone.
If even she doesn't consider Xiaokang's feelings, will Xiaokang still grow up healthy like he does now?
“That’s not what I meant.” Bo Jinyan’s family is large and wealthy, so raising another child wouldn’t be a burden for him. “I just think that we should have a child of our own, instead of me having two children call him godfather and uncle. I also want to be a father.”
"I also want my child to call me 'Dad,' Xiaoruo, do you understand?"
The child should have been the fruit of their love, but while their love had blossomed, they themselves didn't even have a child of their own...
Isn't that a real shame?
Sang Ruo understood what he meant, but said, "My body still needs to recover. How about we have a child after I've fully recovered?"
She currently has two children, one is Song Yuanshan's, and the other is Bo Jinzhou's.
None of them were his biological children.
She could understand this desire for her own child, but her current physical condition did not allow her to get pregnant.
Originally, due to the car accident, many parts of her body had not fully recovered. Although she could live a normal life, it would still take some time for her to fully recover and return to her former self.
There's really no need to rush it.
“Okay, I’m not in a hurry.” Bo Jinyan was saying this when he received a call from Old Master Bo: “Hello, Dad? What’s up?”
“Your uncle has taken your cousin back to China. If you are discharged from the hospital, bring Xiaoruo back for a meal.”
uncle?
Bo Jinyan hesitated for a moment: "But Dad, I was just discharged from the hospital, and Xiao Ruo's health hasn't recovered yet. Can we do it another day?"
"They are guests, how can you make them wait for you?" Old Master Bo couldn't help but retort, "Besides, haven't you already been discharged from the hospital? Now that you've been discharged, surely you don't even have time to come back for a meal?"
Bo Jinyan knew he couldn't get away with this meal any longer, so he could only agree: "Okay, Dad, I'll take Xiaoruo back tonight."
He didn't expect that, while he was still trying to pretend he didn't see it, the old man had already called him back for dinner.
It seems that the plan failed before it was even fully implemented.
After he hung up the phone, Sang Ruo asked him, "What happened? Was it Grandpa who called?"
“Yes, my dad wants us to go back for dinner tonight.” Bo Jinyan said casually, “He said my uncle brought my cousin back with him.”
Uncle? Cousin?
Sang Ruo was taken aback when she heard this title: "Ayan, why have I never heard you mention them before?"
She only knew that his mother had passed away, and did not know that he had any uncles or other relatives.
“I didn’t expect them to suddenly return from New York.” Bo Jinyan was also surprised: “I didn’t say it was because the Xu family has always been unforgiving towards our Bo family because of my mother’s early death, so we haven’t had much contact over the years.”
However, he didn't understand why his uncles, Xu Yi and Xu Chen, had suddenly returned from the United States.
Moreover, they have never been very forgiving of Mr. Bo, believing that he did not take good care of his mother, which led to her death.
Why did you come back this time?
Upon hearing this, Sang Ruo sensed the coldness emanating from him: "Then why did they come back this time?"
"I don't know, I'm thinking about this too." Bo Jinyan felt it wasn't that simple: "You're coming with me tonight. Just have a normal meal there, don't pay attention to what they say, understand?"
He was afraid that his uncles and others would project their dissatisfaction with his mother's death onto her.
Xiao Ruo has already suffered enough in her life; he will not allow them to slander her any further.
Sang Ruo felt inexplicably uneasy after hearing what he said, but she still nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
I just hope that my uncle and his cousin won't have such a hard time getting along.
As evening fell, the sun began to set.
Sang Ruo and Bo Jinyan tidied up a bit at home, changed their clothes, and went out. The early autumn weather in the capital was particularly cool, so she changed into a beige long trench coat and a dress before heading out.
Bo Jinyan even changed into the same long black trench coat as her, and the two appeared hand in hand at the Bo family's old mansion, almost making others envious.
“Grandpa, I’m back.” Sang Ruo said, placing two boxes of American ginseng in front of him. “These are the American ginseng I brought for you. They will be of great help in relieving your chest tightness.”
Grandpa Bo was delighted to see her: "Xiao Ruo, you said you were coming back, so why bring gifts? We're all family, why be so formal?"
“It’s nothing, Grandpa. It’s what I should do as your daughter-in-law.” Sang Ruo’s eyes crinkled into a smile. “It’s just our etiquette in the capital.”
Xu Yi, who had arrived with his son long ago, sneered, "Since you're so polite, why did you marry your nephew first and then your uncle? You've practically played with the entire Bo family."
"Ayi!" Old Master Bo said with displeasure, "You better shut up. It wasn't easy for Ayan and Xiaoruo to get through this. If you don't want to offer your blessings, at least don't slander her like this!"
Xiao Ruo is such a good and kind girl. Her life was ruined by Bo Jinzhou. She finally married A Yan and had a few days of peace. Why is he interfering?
Xu Yi slammed the magazine he was holding onto the coffee table: "What, Mr. Bo? If Sang Ruo can do it, then I can't say anything? I didn't say anything about how you mistreated Xiao Yu, which led to her death, but how can you accept such a disgraceful thing as your granddaughter-in-law becoming your daughter-in-law in an instant?"
“Our Xu family is not as shameless as your family. There are plenty of women in the world, why hang yourself on one tree?”
Upon hearing this, Bo Jinyan's face suddenly darkened: "Uncle, please be more polite to Xiaoruo! If you have any anger, just take it out on me. Why involve Xiaoruo?"
Xiao Ruo is innocent.
Besides, his mother's death was an accident, and he was heartbroken. But the Bo family had been criticized by Xu Yi for so many years because of it, hadn't that been enough?
"I'm just stating the facts!" Compared to the overly gloomy expressions of the Bo family father and son, Xu Yi seemed nonchalant: "If Sang Ruo can make her way from Bo Jinzhou to your bed, Ayan, who knows, maybe one day she'll make her way to the old man's bed too..."
