Chapter 813 Sang Ruo's Regret
Upon hearing this, Bo Jinyan paused for a moment as he closed the car door, narrowing his eyes: "She wants to continue cooperating? What do you mean? Doesn't she want to go back to New York? Does she want to continue fighting with Wen Qingyi?"
His voice wasn't very loud, but it wasn't quiet either, which drew the attention of many servants.
"Oh dear, don't get agitated," Sang Ruo quickly stopped him. "This is a long story, let's go inside and talk about it, okay?"
"good."
After he finished speaking, Bo Jinyan closed the car door and went upstairs from the brightly lit underground parking garage.
He took the elevator up to the first floor where the living room was located. As he loosened his tie, he asked her, "Xiao Ruo, what's the deal with continuing the cooperation? Didn't you already promise President Lu that you wouldn't care about anything?"
Now that they are going to continue cooperating, how should their agreement continue to be fulfilled?
“I did promise Uncle Lu that I wouldn’t care about anything, but that’s a different matter.” Sang Ruo put down her car keys and kicked off her high heels, feeling a little tired. “Besides, this was Nan Chu’s own request. She said she wanted to continue the cooperation and insisted on an answer from her. How could I refuse?”
Moreover, she also had her own selfish motives; she didn't want to lose such a good partner because of this.
After all, their cooperation had been almost flawless. If it weren't for the earthquake in Beijing, Xu Chen wouldn't have discovered what they had done.
Moreover, Xu Chen's status in the Lu family is no longer what it used to be, so even if he dares to be angry, he doesn't dare to speak out.
They share the same goal, and she would find it difficult to find another partner as good as her.
Bo Jinyan felt that she had agreed somewhat impulsively: "You should have discussed it with me before making a decision. If Lu Jinan finds out that you agreed on your own and that we have broken our agreement with him, what will he think of us?"
At that time, I'm afraid Lu Jinan will think they are untrustworthy villains.
They agreed at first, but soon went back on their word.
Anyone would be annoyed.
“Don’t worry, I’ve made things clear with Nan Chu this time.” Sang Ruo recounted their conversation to him: “I told her that if she couldn’t promise not to interfere in her relationship with Xu Chen, then we shouldn’t continue working together, otherwise we’d be in a bad situation. She agreed.”
"Nan Chu is a person of her word and keeps her promises. Since she made a promise, she shouldn't easily go back on her word, right?"
The main reason was that she trusted Lu Nanchu's character. The fact that she agreed showed that she was quite confident; otherwise, why would she have agreed so readily?
Upon hearing this, Bo Jinyan couldn't help but shake his head: "Xiao Ruo, you are really too young. Women in wealthy families are not as simple as you say. I believe Nan Chu has her reasons for doing this, but for you to agree so easily is really impulsive and irrational."
At the very least, she should have thought things through calmly before making a decision, instead of rashly agreeing to it.
That's so irrational.
“But I’ve already promised her.” Seeing his disapproval, Sang Ruo’s tone was somewhat aggrieved: “Or, should I call her and cancel the cooperation?”
However, she felt that this method might not be effective against Lu Nanchu, who had always been very persistent.
But it's much better than doing nothing.
Bo Jinyan sighed softly, his tone tinged with helplessness: "Forget it, you've already promised her, what's the point of calling now? Xiao Ruo, I know you're very good to Nan Chu and consider her a friend, but there are some things we really can't interfere with."
“Look at how Xu Chen has come over to make trouble time and time again. Isn’t it because we’ve interfered too much in their affairs? Although I’m not afraid of him, just like he said, if the old man finds out, do you think we can get away with it?”
He was the youngest son of Mr. Bo, and also his most beloved son.
The old man is now quite old, and he really can't bear to see his already frail father still worrying about his affairs.
Given the precarious relationship between the Bo and Xu families, not interfering was indeed their best option.
Sang Ruo realized she had done something wrong, and her eyes were filled with remorse as she looked at him: "I'm sorry, I was too careless. I was only thinking about not losing such a good partner as her, but I didn't think about the old man. It's my fault, I was too negligent."
She hesitated at the time. If it weren't for Lu Nanchu's persistence, how could she have agreed in such a short time?
She wanted to call Bo Jinyan when she made the decision, but it would be a bit impolite to call him in front of him, so she didn't.
Unexpectedly, this led to a huge mistake, and now it's too late for her to regret it.
"Xiao Ruo, I don't blame you. Just think it over more next time you make a decision." Bo Jinyan didn't hold it against her because she was young and had no experience dealing with these people: "It's always good to think it over more, so you won't regret it in the future."
Fortunately, it wasn't a major mistake. They just need to be more careful in the future and can't be as reckless and impulsive as before.
You must consider the consequences before you act.
Sang Ruo buried her head in his chest and wrapped her arms around his strong waist: "Ayan, I feel so useless. I've been fighting with Wen Qingyi for so long, and I still haven't learned my lesson."
Although it wasn't her intention to target her at first, Wen Qingyi had already bullied her to this extent, and if she didn't fight back, she would seem too weak and vulnerable.
Just like what Ayan taught her, she had to be strong herself in order to face her enemies bravely and then defeat them.
If she always relies on him, what will she do when the day comes that she has to face things alone?
“Xiao Ruo, this isn’t your fault. The whole thing between you and her started because of me.” Bo Jinyan raised his hand and patted her back, offering her the gentlest comfort: “It’s just that things have developed to this point, and too many people are involved. I feel it’s getting hard to handle.”
Not only is the situation difficult to resolve, but it also involves the Bo family, the Xu family, and even the Lu family. All three major families are entangled because of Wen Qingyi...
It's really absurd.
He hadn't expected Wen Qingyi to have such influence, single-handedly involving three families! And in a three-way standoff, a situation of irreconcilable conflict! Plus, there was Gong Lian on top of that!
With things getting this big, how will this end?
Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
