Chapter 878 Tearing Off the Face
He even dared to harm his own uncle!
“He has already said that from the moment we attacked Sang Ruo, he no longer considered us family.” Xu Yi said through gritted teeth, his face cold: “It seems that he has decided to completely turn against our Xu family for Sang Ruo’s sake.”
For that woman, he even disregarded the past relationship between the two families!
It seems that this time, Bo Jinyan has made up his mind.
Xu Chen didn't want the two families to come to this point: "Dad, do we really have to be enemies with the Bo family? We've already had a very unpleasant falling out with the Lu family. If we fall out with the Bo family too, won't our Xu family be left isolated and helpless?"
It is often said that the enemy of my enemy is my ally.
If the Bo and Lu families join forces and form an alliance, the Xu family's current situation will become very dangerous.
He was unwilling to see even such a good ally as the Bo family turn against him.
Even though Bo Jinyan had already hurt his father.
"You good-for-nothing!"
Xu Yi was already angry, and seeing his cowardly appearance, he kicked Xu Chen to the ground: "You're always afraid of this and that, what great things can you accomplish? Besides, Bo Jinyan has Old Master Bo above him, what are you afraid of?"
What a loser.
I wonder what Ah Chen has been through. He used to be so calm and collected, how come he's become so timid now?
Xu Chen got up from the ground, brushed the dust off his hands, and stood in front of him again, saying, "Dad, it's not that I'm afraid of Bo Jinyan. After all, as you said, he still has Old Master Bo above him. But our family's current situation is too unfavorable for us."
"Think about it, although I am now married to Nan Chu, we had already fallen out with the Lu family before the marriage. Both Nan Chu and Lu Jinan are very wary of me. I'm afraid that I will get further and further away from your goal."
Especially now that the Xu family is in this situation, after Nan Chu and her cousin's joint scheme, everyone thinks that the Xu family has treacherous intentions.
Even the senior executives of Lu's Bank, who had previously maintained good relations with the Xu family, had some reservations about their recent performance.
He wasn't trying to be alarmist, but the current situation was very unfavorable to them.
He feared that if things continued like this, the Xu family would find themselves in a situation where no one would help them.
When that time really comes, we'll be even less able to defeat Bo Jinyan.
“You’re right, but right now, our people have failed twice in a row.” Xu Yi was very frustrated when he mentioned this: “If even shooting them can’t solve the problem of Sang Ruo and Bo Jinyan, then our status at Lu’s Bank will only get lower and lower.”
He originally intended to kill Bo Jinyan with a single shot, so that Bo Jinyan would lose interest in the new project.
Who would have thought that two consecutive failures would cause him to fall short of his goal, not only losing his eligibility to participate in the new project, but also having his purpose discovered by Bo Jinyan!
What should we do?
He was out of options.
Xu Chen thought differently: "Dad, I think what we need to do right now is maintain stability and stop doing any more shootings. Even a cornered dog will jump over the wall. I'm afraid that if you continue like this, you will drive my cousin and his wife to a dead end, and then it will be even more difficult to handle."
Rather than ending up like that, it would be better to resolve the issue in a gentler way from the beginning; perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope.
Instead of engaging in infighting here.
"Maintaining stability?" Xu Yi murmured these two words repeatedly, his eyes filled with contemplation: "Achen, are you sure that maintaining stability like this can really restore the Xu family's former status?"
Why does he think this move to maintain stability is a terrible one?
But right now, there's really nothing more suitable for their current situation than maintaining stability.
If Bo Jinyan is really pushed to the limit, the best outcome would be a lose-lose situation, but what if the worst outcome is?
He could hardly bear to think about it anymore.
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen couldn't say for sure either: "Dad, I can't guarantee anything, but maintaining stability is the best option right now. We have no other choice, do we?"
If they truly had a way out, they wouldn't be in this predicament today.
Xu Yi sighed softly, "Then let's do it your way. If the stability maintenance method doesn't work, we'll think of other methods."
For now, this is truly the only option.
...
Bo Jinyan returned to Central Park Apartments as soon as he left the Xu family.
As soon as he entered, he saw Sang Ruo drinking nutritious soup. He couldn't help but slow his pace a little. Only after walking over and sitting down next to her did he gently ask, "Xiao Ruo, have you felt any better since Aunt Feng came?"
Judging from her complexion, she seemed to be in better condition than before Aunt Feng arrived.
But overall, his complexion was still very pale.
"With Aunt Feng here, I feel much better." Sang Ruo held the soup bowl and casually asked, "You're back so soon? Has your uncle admitted it?"
When his uncle was mentioned, Bo Jinyan's expression turned grim: "Yes, he has already confessed that he was the one who carried out both shootings. I have made him pay a price! I think he will never dare to target you again."
This time it was just an arm injury.
If he dares to do it again, it won't just be a matter of losing an arm.
Of course, he didn't say those words aloud.
"Ayan, what price did you make him pay?" Although Sang Ruo was filled with hatred, she still did not forget the old master Bo's teachings before he left: "Give them a lesson, but don't hurt the harmony between the two families. You have to think about the old master Bo."
Mr. Bo is old and has chest problems, so he can't withstand these kinds of stimuli.
Don't ruin the harmony between the two families.
Bo Jinyan sneered: "Xiao Ruo, if I had a choice, I wouldn't choose to resolve this matter in a way that hurts our relationship. But when your uncle attacked you, I already considered them enemies. They don't deserve to be my family!"
"You saw the two consecutive shootings; your uncle and his men clearly wanted you dead! I don't want your kindness to become a knife in the enemy's hand!"
Therefore, he preferred to use an eye for an eye to warn his uncle not to act rashly.
Although it was somewhat immoral to do this, what his uncle had done to Xiao Ruo was almost unbearable for him!
If the man sitting in front of him today wasn't his own uncle, he would never have let Xu Yi off so easily!
It was precisely for the sake of the relationship between the two families that he had been holding back and not taking action.
But they treated Bo Jinyan like an easy target!
"Ayan, what price did you make him pay? How did you settle accounts with him?" Sang Ruo felt there was something more to his words: "Please tell me."
