In the single room, Bo Chi talked to Yu Zhao's mother for a long time, until it was almost time for dinner, she stopped talking at the right time, stood up and waved, and walked out of the ward with Yu Zhao to the hospital cafeteria.
When they were halfway there and there was no one around, Yu Zhao suddenly grabbed Bo Chi's soft hand and pushed her to a quiet corner.
Bo Chi was startled, and shrank his head and said, "I didn't mean to tell tales! You are a picky eater, I am thinking about your stomach!"
Yu Zhao raised his eyebrows: "I originally thought you were thinking about me, but now that I hear you say that, it turns out you were trying to secretly tell on me?"
Bo Chi: “…”
She felt guilty for accidentally selling herself out, and was too timid to even look at Yu Zhao.
Yu Zhao was a little tempted by her cuteness, and he already had some ideas in mind, so he reached out and pinched the girl's pointed chin, lifted up her delicate and timid little face, lowered his head slightly and kissed Bo Chi's forehead.
Bo Chi suddenly opened his almond-shaped eyes wide and stared at her blankly, unable to recover.
Yu Zhao looked calm, but the blush on her ear tips spread all the way to her slender white neck. Her eyes swept across the girl's delicate red lips, then quickly moved away, pretending to be calm and said, "This is a thank you gift... Thank you for speaking up for me in front of my mother just now. She never likes me to fight. If she knew that I had fought with a man, she would definitely be unhappy."
Bo Chi touched his forehead with a trembling hand, and could still vaguely feel the softness of the woman's lips. She was stunned by this sudden and unexpected shock, and blurted out: "Can I return this thank-you gift?"
Yu Zhao was stunned for a moment, but soon she understood. She pursed her red lips slightly, and a flash of embarrassment flashed in her eyes, but her body was very honest. She lowered her head, closed her eyes, and said in a low and hoarse voice that was inexplicably seductive: "Go back."
Bo Chi: “?”
Bo Chi: “?!!”
She wanted to reject him, not kiss him back!
Yu Zhao, wake up!
Bo Chi's pupils trembled, his brain went blank, and he didn't react for a long time.
Yu Zhao waited for a while, then opened his eyes and saw that her cheeks were flushed with shyness, and her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were sparkling with water. He couldn't help but pinch her face with a smile, and stood up straight and said, "You look like a cat baring its teeth and claws, but I didn't expect you to be more timid than a mimosa."
Bo Chi hesitated for a long time, not knowing what to say. Finally, he glared at her in anger and turned away angrily.
Is she timid?
Haha, you, Yu Zhao, whose neck is still red after kissing someone, are not much better!
Bo Chi finally did not ask Yu Zhao why he kissed her, because the boundary of this action was too vague. She was worried that if she asked seriously, Yu Zhao would laugh at her. In order not to give her mortal enemy the opportunity to laugh at her, even though the question mark in her heart could be made into an emoticon, she stubbornly maintained a nonchalant expression.
Yu Zhao looked at her calmly, feeling happy yet helpless at the same time.
The good news is that Bo Chi’s secret crush on her is so infatuated that even if she kisses him without saying hello, he will accept it obediently.
Unfortunately, the girl's personality was too awkward. The previous pursuit seemed like making an enemy, and now she was too shy to get close to her.
well.
Her future little wife.
It's such a contradiction that it makes people feel both headache and pity.
**
After packing lunch, Bo Chi returned to the ward with his whole body trembling under Yu Zhao's strange gaze.
As soon as they pushed the door open, they saw a middle-aged doctor standing by the bed, flipping through the medical examination results in his hand and talking to Yu Zhao's mother: "...The hospital's advice is that it is best to stay in the hospital for examination."
Hearing the door open, the doctor looked over and nodded amiably, "Are you her relative? Put the food aside and come over to listen."
Yu Zhao unconsciously clenched the hand that he was holding with Bo Chi, and only after Bo Chi firmly held his hand back did his expression improve.
She took a deep breath, nodded calmly and steadily, sat down beside the bed and listened quietly.
What the doctor said was similar to what was said in the plot, pointing out that Yu Zhao's mother had heart disease, which would become more and more serious as she got older and did more heavy physical work.
The best solution is to be hospitalized, relax your mind, take good care of your body, have surgery as soon as possible, and strive to recover as soon as possible.
Each of these items is inseparable from the word money.
After the doctor finished speaking and left, Bo Chi looked at Yu Zhao's mother's forced smile, and stood up consciously, leaving the space for the mother and daughter.
After leaving the ward, Bo Chi didn't walk far. She still had something to say to Yu Zhao, so she stood in the corridor, staring at the medical precautions hanging on the wall in a daze.
After a while, Yu Zhao pushed the door open, his face was still calm, but his narrow eyes were red.
Bo Chi looked at him for a few more seconds and suddenly remembered Yu Zhao when he was in elementary school.
At that time, the other party was often hungry and wore long sleeves and long pants regardless of summer or winter. It was not until she secretly lifted his clothes during nap time that Bo Chi realized that the other party had been suffering from domestic violence from his father.
Yu Zhao never told anyone about this incident, nor did he show it. No matter how badly he was beaten, he would grit his teeth and limp to school, with only stubbornness and sharpness in his black and white pupils.
Bo Chi had always thought that Yu Zhao was born indifferent to family ties, because she couldn't stand seeing the other person being bullied and begged her parents to put the other person's father in jail. However, Yu Zhao completely ignored her biological father's crying and yelling, treating him like a stranger, lowered her eyes and continued to read, letting her biological father be dragged away.
It was not until now, staring at the woman's red eyes, that Bo Chi realized belatedly that Yu Zhao actually had feelings.
It’s just that she was beaten so painfully when she was a child that she became numb from the pain, which erased her longing for family affection.
Now that she has forgotten the past, she has regained her love and care for her loved ones.
Blessings and disasters go hand in hand. Bo Chi suddenly didn't know whether the car accident that caused their deaths was a good thing or a bad thing. After being stunned for a while, she decided not to think about these unanswered things and whispered, "Auntie, are you okay?"
Yu Zhao hummed, lowered his eyes and stared at Bo Chi's slender, snow-white fingers. His eyes were a little dazed, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
Bo Chi blinked, vaguely guessing that she was thinking about the medical expenses, so he reached into his bag, took out a card, and put it in her hand: "This is the pocket money I saved. It's not much, only 700,000. You can use it first, and later..."
Before she finished speaking, Yu Zhao suddenly grabbed her wrist and resolutely returned the card to her: "I can't take your money."
Bo Chi was distracted and felt a sense of loss in his heart.
It's like this again...
No matter whether it was money or connections, Yu Zhao always rejected her kindness at the first opportunity.
Bo Chi couldn’t figure it out before and even pestered Yu Zhao.
It was not until the other party could no longer bear her pestering and said with pursed red lips that he did not treat her as a good best friend that Bo Chi realized that the reason why he did not accept her was that he always wanted to draw a clear line between them.
"Please take the card back. I won't take it." Yu Zhao noticed that Bo Chi was looking at him quietly and was a little distracted, so he emphasized, "Especially your money."
Yu Zhao knew that he was short of money, and he also knew that Bo Chi didn't care about that.
But she cares.
She was concerned that her relationship with Bo Chi would deteriorate because of the exchange of interests. She was worried that the money would make their positions unequal. She was afraid that she would get stuck in a dead end and would not be able to tell in the future whether she was in love with Bo Chi or was repaying the money.
When facing Bo Chi, her inferiority complex hid in the dark, following her like a shadow, never stopping.
But this is her only bottom line and dignity.
Yu Zhao was indeed short of money, but she was not desperate. As long as there was still a way out, she would never allow any unexpected event that could lead to a conflict between herself and Bo Chi.
After returning the bank card to Bo Chi, Yu Zhao said softly, "I'm going to the bathroom."
She turned and left, walking quickly and hurriedly, finally reaching the rooftop and turning on her cell phone.
The dial tone lasted for more than ten seconds, and then a man's casual voice sounded: "Hello, I'm Bo Ji, who are you?"
Yu Zhao said calmly: "Hello, Mr. Bo, I am Yu Zhao, you may have heard of my name recently."
Bo Ji paused in his act of signing.
He had indeed heard this name frequently during this period.
On the one hand, I heard it from Bo Chi.
As a sister-con, he was very concerned about his sister's friendships. When he heard that his little princess had changed her nature and was pairing up with a female classmate and behaving particularly intimately, he immediately found Yu Zhao's information and recognized that this was the beauty he wanted to hunt all those years ago.
In addition to hearing from his sister, Bo Ji also inevitably heard news about Yu Zhao during a meeting at the company recently.
As a newcomer with a backer, Yu Zhao not only did not take advantage of his position to bully others or slack off every day, but was diligent and hard-working. Every time he worked, his results were amazingly mature. The group of old foxes in the company were so experienced that they could tell at a glance that he was a rough diamond. As long as he was polished for a few years, he would definitely achieve something.
Therefore, Bo Ji would receive recommendations from time to time. He could even see that those old foxes were interested in taking in a disciple and were unwilling to let go of Yu Zhao, a good talent.
——When he first joined the company, the two elders of the Bo family told him to perform well. If he caught the eyes of the old men who had shares and was trained for a few years, maybe he could surpass their predecessors.
As a result, the task that he had been working so hard for for so many years and had not been completed was completed by an intern who had just started working?
Bo Ji was upset, but he knew the seriousness of the matter. His tone became gentle and he said with a smile, "It turned out to be Miss Yu. You called me. Do you have something to say?"
Yu Zhao stared at the azure sky and said calmly, "I want to make a bet with you."
"...What?" Bo Ji almost thought he had heard it wrong.
Yu Zhao said calmly, "The teacher in the company recently asked me to write a plan for District P. Our company's main industries are concentrated in City Z. I boldly guess that... the company's top management is planning to take over all the business in District P in the next few years?"
Bo Ji's face was slightly grim. Although he didn't say a word, he was genuinely shocked by Yu Zhao's sharpness.
Yu Zhao didn't care about his sudden silence and continued calmly: "P District is a tough nut to crack. Based on our company's previous methods, I don't think we can take it down smoothly. But I am happy to make a bet with you. If you invest five million in me, I will take over P District intact within two years."
"If I win, the five million will be mine, and Area P will belong to the Bo family." Yu Zhao heard Bo Ji's increasingly rapid breathing and curled his lips slightly: "If I lose, I will return the five million in full and volunteer to work for the Bo family for twenty years without asking for a penny of salary."
Bo Ji pondered for a long time, until the ink beads condensed under the pen that had been tapping the paper, and then he said sternly: "Five million is not a small amount for you. Excuse me, even if you work for Bo's for 20 years for nothing, you can't earn this much money."
Yu Zhao was not angry, but said calmly: "You underestimate me, Mr. Bo. I am very confident in my business ability, and everyone in the company can see this. If you want to use this as a bargaining chip to negotiate other conditions, then please speak directly, and don't use these roundabout tricks."
Bo Ji felt awkward, his face turned from black to green, and he was almost humiliated.
While he was secretly annoyed, he also wondered why he was so blind to fall for a guy like Yu Zhao who had strong attack power.
Bo Ji was very depressed. He cleared his throat and continued with a thick face: "In this case, I will be frank. I can give you five million. It doesn't matter whether you pay it back or not, but I have to add a hard condition."
Yu Zhao's eyes darkened slightly, but his tone remained unchanged: "What conditions?"
"You are a talented person, and I admire you very much." Bo Ji said bluntly: "So I hope you can marry into the Bo family and become... Bo Chi's fiancée."
