Chapter 18 An Ambiguous Scene
Bo Jinyan raised his eyelids and glanced at Bo Jinzhou.
His gaze unconsciously swept towards Sang Ruo.
Seeing her hesitant expression, one could probably guess what was going on.
He raised his eyes and said indifferently, "Miss Sang had an accident at the orphanage I sponsor. I came here on behalf of the orphanage to pick her up from the hospital."
As soon as the words were spoken, Sang Ruo's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
This man is truly intelligent.
The reaction speed is also excellent.
If, at this point, they were to say that she had sent him, given Bo Jinzhou and Sang Ruo's circumstances, there would certainly be some misunderstanding.
"So that's how it is?" Bo Jinzhou asked thoughtfully, "Was it her who brought fruit to visit my uncle a few days ago?"
"Um."
Bo Jinyan walked past them to the bedside, picked up the hospital admission form, and then walked back.
His practiced movements left Bo Jinzhou somewhat stunned.
Didn't he say that day that he was just visiting a friend?
"Uncle...give it to me." As if asserting his ownership, Bo Jinzhou reached out and took the form from Bo Jinyan's hand: "I'll handle it for her, no need to trouble you, Uncle."
Before the man could respond, Bo Jinzhou took the form and left the ward.
Now, only Sang Ruo and Bo Jinyan remain.
“Mr. Bo, my friend was supposed to pick me up from the hospital, but she had something to do this morning and left early, so she hasn’t come back yet. That’s why I called you,” Sang Ruo said in a low voice. “Besides, I didn’t know he would come…”
Bo Jinyan lowered his eyes and glanced at her, his dark eyes reflecting the woman's delicate face.
She was wearing a white chiffon dress.
The hem of the skirt reached just to her ankles, where there were burn marks.
"It's not surprising that he came." The man said calmly, "Although you brought up divorce, it's not easy to get past the old man. I guess he forced his nephew to come."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sang Ruo nodded slightly: "It was indeed Grandpa who sent him."
But the part about his words, "Getting past the old man is indeed not easy," was deeply imprinted in her mind.
The old man held immense prestige in the Bo family; apart from the man before him, no one dared to go against him.
Unfortunately, this youngest son was the one whom Old Master Bo loved the most.
Therefore, Bo Jinyan's status in the Bo family is second only to that of Old Master Bo.
"Didn't you apply any medicine to your ankle?"
Bo Jinyan's voice was deep, and he looked down.
Sang Ruo's thoughts were interrupted by his deep and pleasant voice.
She lowered her eyes subconsciously: "It's not too serious, so I didn't have the doctor apply any medicine."
She's not used to Western medicine and usually uses Chinese medicine. She'll apply some herbal poultice later, and there shouldn't be any major problems.
As she looked down, she carefully examined the wound. Her heel was slightly raised, and the burned skin came into the man's view.
Perhaps it was because one foot was raised that the center of gravity became unstable.
Her body fell straight into the man's arms.
Sang Ruo tried to stand firm, but it was too late.
Bo Jin reached out and firmly grasped her arm.
When the cool ring on her index finger touched her skin, she instinctively paused for a moment.
She quickly raised her eyes and looked at the man's face.
Bo Jinyan happened to lower his eyes, and their gazes met.
Sang Ruo's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously looked away.
"Be careful." The man's voice was indifferent, and he stared at her with a half-smile.
A certain atmosphere was rising in the room.
Sang Ruo lowered her eyes and thanked him, trying to pull away from Bo Jinyan's hand, when a cold voice suddenly interrupted: "What are you doing!"
Sang Ruo's heart skipped a beat. She looked up and her eyes met those of Bo Jinzhou, who was walking in through the door.
He had already witnessed this ambiguous scene.
Upon seeing this scene, Bo Jinzhou's brows furrowed slightly, his words revealing anger and surprise.
Bo Jinyan released Sang Ruo, his tone still indifferent: "Miss Sang lost her balance just now, and I helped her up. Now that you've taken care of things, take her home."
After speaking, the man quickly turned around and strode towards the door.
After the footsteps faded into the distance, Bo Jinzhou turned his attention to Sang Ruo.
Sang Ruo glanced at the list in his hand and walked straight up to him, saying, "Thanks."
She snatched the discharge papers from his hand and walked towards the door without looking back.
"stop."
Bo Jinzhou's deep voice came from behind.
Sang Ruo stopped and glanced back at him.
"Sang Ruo, don't even think about trying to pull any tricks on my uncle." The man strode closer, his brows furrowed with coldness.
Sang Ruo raised her head, her face expressionless, and asked, "What methods?"
Bo Jinzhou looked down at her, his bright eyes shining in the bright hospital room.
A smile played at the corners of her lips, as if she were waiting for his response.
Seeing that the man remained silent, Sang Ruo gave a cold smile: "Mr. Bo, you don't think I'm seducing your uncle, do you?"
Upon hearing this, Bo Jinzhou, standing before him, curled his lips into a mocking smile: "You are not worthy to seduce my uncle."
The voice was soft, yet it was filled with extreme insult.
Sang Ruo's expression darkened for a moment. She stared at him silently without saying a word.
"Not to mention that you are useless and have even been to prison." Bo Jinzhou's tone was full of mockery: "Who in the entire Bo family doesn't know how high my uncle's standards are? There are plenty of beautiful women around him, but what he values is not just looks and figure, but also something else."
The man raised his well-defined hand and tapped his head with his index finger.
Sang Ruo was not angered by his words.
She said in a nonchalant tone, "The fact that Mr. Bo can take a liking to Miss Liang shows that his vision is not as good as your uncle's."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bo Jinzhou's brows furrowed slightly.
Killing two birds with one stone.
They both scolded him for being short-sighted and said Liang Yuxin was brainless.
"If you want to criticize me, just say so. Why did you bring Yuxin along?"
Bo Jinzhou glared at her with displeasure, attempting to grab her arm and ask her what was going on.
But Sang Ruo reacted quickly, taking a step back and turning to leave.
The man's cursing voice came from behind her, but Sang Ruo had no time to pay attention to him and had already stepped into the corridor.
When Sang Ruo arrived at the hospital entrance, she saw a figure flash by.
She quickly called out, "Annie."
Upon hearing the sound, Chen Anni's weary figure stopped abruptly.
When he turned around and saw Sang Ruo, he was suddenly stunned: "Xiao Ruo, weren't you waiting for me in the ward? Why did you suddenly run out?"
