Chapter 888 Old Master Bo's Reminder
"Ayan, I'm asking you a question."
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Old Master Bo gave him a gentle reminder.
Bo Jinyan seemed to have just come to his senses and chuckled, "That is indeed the case. But since you have heard about it, you should also know that the president of Lu's Bank has been replaced, and this board meeting was chaired by the new president."
"This is the new bank president's decision, and I have no right to interfere."
Strictly speaking, he made this request at the time because of a strong demand made before the South China Conference.
If Nan Chu hadn't asked him to help her, he wouldn't have made that request in front of so many board members.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Bo said, "I know the new bank manager. She is Xu Yi's daughter-in-law, Lu Nanchu. They are family. Why would she make such a decision based on your words?"
"Ayan, shouldn't you explain some things to me?"
“Dad, I have nothing to explain to you.” Bo Jinyan subconsciously covered up: “This is Nan Chu’s decision. Even if it were me, I would have to consider the Lu family’s opinion. This involves the Lu family’s privacy, so I can’t say anything.”
"I can only say that the relationship between the Lu family and the Xu family is far from as harmonious as it appears on the surface."
There are internal struggles among the various families, but this time, it was Xu Yi's ambition that was too great, which was discovered and guarded against by the Lu family.
He was just doing a favor, and Nan Chu was simply being cautious.
Unexpectedly, all of this reached the father's ears without missing a single word.
Could it be that someone is secretly reporting him while he's not paying attention?
He knew exactly who this person was.
Old Master Bo felt that he was hiding something: "Ayan, I won't force you to say what you can't say, but I have to remind you."
“The Xu family is your mother’s maternal family. Our Bo family has already wronged the Xu family. Even if you have any grudges with your uncle and cousin, they should be resolved privately between you. You shouldn’t involve the entire Bo family.”
"If you turn against the Xu family like this, how am I supposed to face your mother in the afterlife?"
His words were undoubtedly a warning to Bo Jinyan.
Bo Jinyan also heard his warning and said with a bitter smile, "Dad, I know you feel guilty towards my mother, but things have turned out this way because I didn't want them to. It was the Xu family who attacked Xiaoruo first. I can't just turn a blind eye to them hurting Xiaoruo, can I?"
Mr. Bo remained silent for a moment.
Bo Jinyan continued, "Dad, I know your concerns. You have felt guilty towards the Xu family for many years because of my mother's death. But the Xu family has been in a dominant position for so many years. How long do you want me to make it up to them?"
In the relationship between the Bo family and the Xu family, because Old Master Bo felt guilty, he always gave way to the Xu family.
The Xu family even took advantage of this and went further, even taking such concessions for granted!
He wanted the Xu family to know that the Bo family's patience always had its limits!
It is far from being a bargaining chip or capital for them to do whatever they want!
“Ayan, your mother’s death was due to our Bo family’s inadequate care, and it is something our family owes the Xu family!” Old Master Bo emphasized again, “Why do you have to fight with your uncle to this extent?”
"How can your mother rest in peace after this?!"
In the end, even his mother was brought up, hoping to persuade him to back down and settle the matter peacefully.
But some grudges simply cannot be resolved by simply settling things down!
Bo Jinyan's face immediately darkened: "Dad, I know you care about my mother, but she has passed away! Even if you're going to extend your love to her, you've already given in to the Xu family for so many years, shouldn't that be enough?"
"What's more, this time it was Xu Yi who attacked Xiao Ru first! And he shot her twice! Do you also want me to lose my wife at such a young age?!"
"Do you really want Xiaoruo to be killed by them before you'll let me fight back?!"
His words left Old Master Bo speechless.
After an unknown amount of time, Old Master Bo sighed softly, "Ayan, it's not that I don't want you to fight back, I just want you to carefully consider the matter of turning against your mother's family!"
“I know you care about Xiao Ruo, but life can’t be just about love. There’s also family and other more important things. I advise you to think carefully about what’s best for the Bo family right now.”
His words were quite meaningful; it had been a long time since Old Master Bo had spoken to him like that.
It's clear that this time, he was genuinely worried.
Bo Jinyan remained silent.
When Grandpa Bo noticed that there seemed to be another person sitting next to him on the projector, he knew it was Xiao Ruo.
He called out affectionately, "Xiao Ruo, could you please persuade A Yan as well? You've always been by his side. Could you please talk to him and tell him not to do anything he'll regret?"
Sang Ruo glanced at Bo Jinyan, who remained silent, before replying, "I understand, Dad. Please take care of yourself while you are in the country. No matter what happens, your health is the most important thing."
"As long as you're all alright, I'll be fine too." Old Master Bo looked at the sensible Sang Ruo, feeling a warmth in his heart, and said kindly, "Alright, I'm going back to sleep. Take care of yourselves, goodbye."
After saying that, he immediately ended the video call.
Sang Ruo exited WeChat, then put the tablet aside, a worried look on her face: "How does Dad know everything that happened in Manhattan when he's in China?"
Moreover, there are some things that even she doesn't know.
How did Dad find out?
"It's all because someone was being gossipy. When threatening me didn't work, they went to my dad and complained about me!"
Bo Jinyan had almost guessed who had complained: "He wanted to use my father's words to achieve his goal of reconciliation with him!"
Sang Ruo seemed to understand his implication and narrowed her eyes: "You mean, Uncle?"
"Besides him, who else would be so bored as to disturb my dad's rest at this hour?" Bo Jinyan's tone was somewhat disdainful, as if he looked down on his behavior: "Xiao Ruo, just listen to what my dad says, don't take it seriously."
What did he mean by that?
Could it be...?
"What? Ayan, aren't you going to listen to your father?"
Sang Ruo voiced the question that had been on her mind.
Bo Jinyan couldn't help but scoff, "I've put in so much time and effort to get this done, how could I possibly give up halfway through?"
“I’ve always remembered the debt of my uncle shooting you twice. I shot him once, which was just making him pay for it once.”
"Next, I'm going to destroy what he values most with my own hands!"
