Chapter 285 Severe Punishment
A hint of unease flashed in Sang Ruo's eyes.
Fearing that Bo Jinyan would delve deeper, she quickly said, "There's nothing much to see, just some videos of jade artifacts. Besides, I'd be a little embarrassed if someone I know saw my creative process..."
"What's wrong with that? It's not like it's anything shameful. With your talent, seeing it will only make me feel more happy."
“There are many things that can bring you joy.” Sang Ruo quickly grabbed his arm and pushed him toward the door: “Alright, go out and rest for a bit! Leave the rest to me.”
"Bang--"
After pushing the person out, Sang Ruo immediately closed the kitchen door.
Bo Jinyan watched her return to the kitchen and bustle about, and suddenly felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.
It's all so mysterious...
The more mysterious she was, the more he wanted to know the answer behind it.
Are she and 'Huai Sang' the same person?
Sang Ruo only breathed a sigh of relief after the figure outside had completely disappeared into the distance.
The reason she was unwilling to tell him the truth was largely because they had worked together before, and she had even used this man to slap Liang Yuxin and retrieve the dowry hairpin.
Although Bo Jinyan has a complicated background and identity, he is a very pure person. She didn't want this incident to make him mistakenly think that she was a scheming person.
She just wanted to get along well with him...
Evening, Qinglan Garden.
Bo Jinzhou had just put down his phone when Bo Yukang looked at his father nervously: "Dad, what did the principal say? Is he really going to criticize me in front of everyone at the school assembly next Monday?"
Bo Jinzhou lowered his gaze, looking at the helpless child in front of him, and his heart sank to the bottom.
He pondered for a moment, then finally spoke: "Yes, the outcome can't be changed. Be prepared!"
"It's all Mom's fault! She caused all of this! I hate her! I really hate her!"
Bo Yukang burst into tears instantly, tears streaming down her face.
"Furthermore, the principal said that another math competition will be held next Tuesday, but you will no longer be eligible to participate..."
Bo Jinzhou originally did not intend to tell his child about this, after all, this news would only be like rubbing salt into his wounds.
But if he doesn't tell, he'll still find out next week.
Rather than letting him cry twice, let him cry it out all at once!
"Waaah... I don't want to... I don't want to withdraw from the competition..."
“I hate my mother! I really hate her so much…”
Bo Jinzhou didn't know how long Bo Yukang had been crying. Only after he had completely calmed down did he look up at the child.
He reached out and took Bo Yukang's small hand, saying seriously, "If Aunt Xinxin asks you to do this kind of thing again, you should think twice before you do it. Although your mother was indeed a bit too harsh in this matter, you were also at fault..."
"Dad, why are you even protecting them now?"
Bo Yukang had already calmed down, but after hearing her father's words, she suddenly cried even more violently.
Just as Bo Jinzhou was about to speak, there was a knock on the door.
The aunt pushed open the door and came in: "Mr. Bo, Miss Liang is here. She's waiting for you in the tea room. She said she has something to say to you."
Bo Jinzhou's expression darkened slightly: "Okay, I understand."
Bo Jinzhou glanced at the still sobbing child and slowly got up from the sofa: "Stop crying, go back to take a shower and go to bed."
Bo Yukang turned around, refusing to go back no matter what.
He didn't say anything more, got up and walked straight to the door.
When Bo Jinzhou arrived at the teahouse, he saw Liang Yuxin already sitting in a chair, waiting for him.
Hearing the noise, Liang Yuxin quickly turned around and looked at Bo Jinzhou with a nervous expression: "Jinzhou, how is the matter at school being handled?"
After leaving the scene today, she still felt that it was not appropriate to leave Bo Yukang behind, but she was afraid that if she went back, Sang Ruo would hold onto her and not let go.
If she publicly admits to this, and someone with ulterior motives takes a picture and posts it online, her future will be ruined.
That's why she called Bo Jinzhou and asked him to help her out...
"I just called the principal. They considered this matter very serious and decided to publicly criticize Bo Yukang at a school assembly in front of all the teachers and students, and also to disqualify him from participating in math Olympiads in the future..."
Upon hearing this, Liang Yuxin's pupils widened instantly, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"How could it be so serious?" Her throat tightened with anxiety. "I'm so sorry, Jinzhou, I didn't know things would get this bad..."
"Apologizing to me is useless; you should apologize to the child." Bo Jinzhou's expression darkened. "No matter how much I defend you in front of Sang Ruo, you were indeed wrong this time. You shouldn't have instigated the child to do such a thing..."
After being nagged by him, Liang Yuxin felt inexplicably down.
Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat tense, Bo Jinzhou spoke again: "As for your matter, the school can't do anything about it, but I estimate that Sang Ruo won't let it go. You'd better be careful in the future and don't provoke her easily again."
"Just because she didn't pursue the matter this time doesn't mean she won't next time, so you need to be prepared..."
"Jinzhou, do you still have feelings for her? You keep calling her Sang Ruo!" Liang Yuxin suddenly said aggrievedly, "Don't you understand how I feel about you? I gave Xiaokang this idea so that he could win the championship, and my intentions weren't wrong! But why do you seem to be on her side!"
The next second, Liang Yuxin's eyes instantly reddened.
Bo Jinzhou seemed to have not expected that she would suddenly cry.
He quickly stood up and walked to her side: "Okay, that's not what I meant. It's just that you shouldn't do this kind of thing again. Even if you do, at least don't drag the child into it. He's not very resilient..."
"Jinzhou, tell me the truth, do you still love Sang Ruo?"
Liang Yuxin raised her shimmering phoenix eyes and quietly looked at the man in front of her.
Bo Jinzhou was stumped by her words and for a moment, he didn't know how to respond.
“Then let me ask it another way…” Liang Yuxin asked bluntly, “Do you love me?”
Bo Jinzhou's throat tightened, and he was even more at a loss for words.
“But I really like you.” Liang Yuxin suddenly leaned forward and hugged the man tightly. “I want to be by your side, to be with you legitimately, not just stay by your side in our current situation…”
"It's getting late, you should go home and get some rest!"
Bo Jinzhou was in a very agitated mood and couldn't give her any reply.
Especially now, Sang Ruo's face inexplicably appears in my mind.
Why would he think of Sang Ruo at this time?
