Chapter 859 The Growing Rift Between Brothers
Aunt Wen?
Bo Jinyan was stunned for a while before he realized that the Aunt Wen she was referring to was Wen Qingyi. His expression was serious: "Yes, that Aunt Wen is the person you need to be most wary of, you know? Never believe anything that Aunt Wen says."
He spoke very seriously, and although Song Linlin didn't understand why he was so serious, she still nodded: "I understand, godfather."
Aunt Wen is a bad person.
"Okay, hurry up and eat breakfast. After breakfast, we'll go to Grandpa's."
As he spoke, Bo Jinyan picked her up and placed her next to Bo Yukang.
Although the news was a devastating blow to the two children, their choice was respected.
After breakfast, Bo Jinyan had his driver, Uncle Jiang, take Sang Ruo and the two children to the Bo family's old residence.
Old Master Bo had already sent people to guard the door. The servants at the door thoughtfully opened the car door for them and took their luggage. Bo Jinyan held Song Linlin's hand, and Sang Ruo held Bo Yukang's hand. The two of them, each holding a child, entered the old house together.
“Dad, I’ve brought Xiaokang and Linlin back to you.” Sang Ruo rubbed Bo Yukang’s head and gestured to him, “Xiaokang, greet them.”
Bo Yukang: "Hello, Great-Grandpa."
After being trained by Sang Ruo, Bo Yukang has become much more polite than before, and Grandpa Bo is much more pleased with him: "Hey, Xiaokang, take Linlin to get familiar with the environment first. Your great-grandfather has something to say to your great-uncle and mother."
"good."
Bo Yukang had stayed here several times before, so he wasn't a complete stranger. On the other hand, Song Linlin had only been to the old house once or twice, so she seemed a bit reserved and timid.
After Bo Yukang led her away from the living room, Old Master Bo said to his son, "Ayan, have you and Xiaoruo booked your tickets to the United States? Lu's Bank is urging us to speed things up."
"Not yet." Bo Jinyan had his own plans: "I plan to have Xiao Ruo go back and pack her things later. I'm going back to the company to hold an emergency board meeting to explain the group's strategic plans for the coming year."
"After all, I'll be away from the capital for so long, and there are some things I need to explain to the board members, otherwise they'll think I've disappeared."
It can be considered as giving a greeting.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Bo nodded slightly: "That's good, it'll be a good start. But you still need to book your plane tickets as soon as possible. This trip to the United States isn't something that will be over in a day or two. I'll call Bo Song later and ask him to help you when he has time."
Whether he has time or how he arranges it is his own business.
“Dad, my second brother has always been in charge of the European market, but this time I’m going to the United States, which is far away in North America. I’m afraid my second brother won’t have time, right?” Bo Jinyan didn’t know if Bo Song was really helping him. “Why don’t you let me take charge of it alone? I’ve been in charge of American projects before.”
As for his second brother, Bo Song, not to mention that he put Bo Jinzhou in prison and also caused his wife, Chen Fangyue, to go to prison, with two out of the three family members going to jail, it's hard to say whether he harbors any resentment.
How could he dare to let Bo Song help him?
If he messes up the project, wouldn't all his previous preparations be for nothing?
He didn't want to take the risk.
Old Master Bo raised an eyebrow in surprise: "What, are you planning to take charge of this project independently? Or..."
"You don't trust your second brother at all?"
When he asked the last question, Bo Jinyan's almost frozen expression softened: "Dad, it's not that I don't understand your intentions, but you know about Bo Jinzhou's situation. Two of the three members of his family are in prison. I'm afraid he might do something underhanded with the project."
In these kinds of situations, it's better to be safe than sorry.
If he were to sabotage his new project because of past grievances, how could he possibly live up to Nan Chu's trust?
He has to be responsible for Nan Chu, and also for his own interests.
Rather than watching this happen, it's better to eliminate the possibility altogether from the start.
"Ayan, Bo Song is your own brother." Old Master Bo emphasized again, his expression somewhat serious: "Do you brothers really want to fall out over something like this? This is clearly a great opportunity, why don't you trust your brother at all?"
Clearly, the old man still wanted to mediate their brotherly relationship and didn't want it to fall apart because of this.
They even hoped that the two brothers could use this new overseas project as an opportunity to reconcile and restore the Bo family to its former harmonious state.
But some things cannot be achieved simply by hoping.
Bo Jinyan understood his father's original intention, but said, "Dad, it's not that I don't trust my second brother, it's that I don't trust human nature. My second brother originally had a family of three, but his son and wife both went to prison because of Xiao Ruo. Do you think my second brother wouldn't have any resentment or complaints?"
“I know you want us brothers to restore our old relationship, but some things have already happened and can never be undone.”
Bo Jinzhou and Chen Fangyue had mistreated Xiao Ruo in the past. He helped Xiao Ruo get rid of the shadows of the past, but inevitably he would become enemies with Bo Song because of this.
What if my second brother causes trouble because of past issues, making it impossible for the new project to proceed normally? Wouldn't that be a loss?
It wasn't that he didn't trust Bo Song, but rather that his relationship with Bo Song was destined to break down because of this, and it wasn't something that could be resolved simply by the old man saying he wanted to mediate.
"But you are brothers." Seeing the brothers falling out, Old Master Bo felt very sad. "You are both my sons, both my flesh and blood. Do you know how heartbroken I am as a father to see you two falling out?"
Can't he see how difficult it is for him to be caught in the middle?
This time, they finally had a chance to restore their relationship, but Ayan wanted to refuse.
He would rather take responsibility alone than let Bo Song interfere in the slightest.
Have the two brothers really fallen so far that they are irreconcilable enemies?
Bo Jinyan sighed softly, "But Dad, from the moment I decided to be with Xiaoruo, I was destined to be disliked by my second brother's family. Look at my sister-in-law's reaction when I brought Xiaoruo home; she wanted nothing more than to strangle her..."
“Dad, I really don’t want to have any more contact with their family. I have my concerns, and I hope you can understand.”
He did this to protect Xiao Ruo and the new project.
Bo Song couldn't gauge the extent of his resentment, but it was foreseeable that it would disrupt the new project.
Since it was foreseeable that he would sabotage the new project, why did he still allow Bo Song to participate in it?
The launch of the new project is crucial to the group's development, and he cannot take that risk.
Rather than risk involving my second brother, it's better to nip that risk in the bud!
