Chapter 55 "Ajing, are you willing to accompany me?"
Meeting Sheng Jing's mother is a big deal.
This aspect determines the future of both him and Sheng Jing.
"Your future mother-in-law mistakenly thought the baby was yours, and you can't explain it. Your future is in jeopardy."
Gan Yu was the only one who knew the inside story, so Bo Yishu could tell him the truth and ask him for help and advice.
However, Gan Yu had no experience in meeting his future mother-in-law, so he could only help analyze the situation.
Logically speaking, a man as outstanding as Bo Yishu should be very much liked by his mother-in-law.
However, for the first time ever, his future mother-in-law did not like him and even misunderstood that he had a child out of wedlock.
"Meijing's mother must love her very much."
Bo Yishu did not tell Gan Yu that Sheng Jing had a bad relationship with her mother, but Gan Yu concluded from the fact that Shen Qiulan was dissatisfied with Bo Yishu that Shen Qiulan loved Sheng Jing very much.
Bo Yishu didn't say anything, just listened to him continue his analysis.
"If they were a parent who only cared about money, they would be eager to sell their daughter for a good price."
"So, your idea of showing off your wealth to her mother won't work."
Bo Yishu nodded.
Gan Yu is usually unreliable, but when analyzing this matter, he does make some sense.
"Go on."
"If you can't show off your wealth, then show off your looks! Use this stunningly handsome face of yours to charm her to death!"
Bo Yishu: "...want to deduct my salary?"
"I was just kidding, just kidding." Gan Yupi said seriously to Bo Yishu, "I haven't met Meijing's mother, and I don't know what her relationship with her is like. But I do know that as a mother, you should hope that your daughter finds someone to entrust her life to."
"A raise."
…………
On the day he met Shen Qiulan, Bo Yishu turned down many tasks.
But after sitting down, Shen Qiulan's first words were: "It will only take you ten minutes, I'll leave after I'm done."
"Auntie, it's dinner time now. It's been a while since you've had dinner with Ajing, right?"
Shen Qiulan glanced at Sheng Jing who was sitting quietly on the side.
It had indeed been a long time since she had sat down to eat with Sheng Jing.
"Not wasting your time?"
Bo Yishu said, "Seeing Auntie is the most important thing."
Shen Qiulan snorted softly when she heard what he said.
A lot of nonsense.
Although Shen Qiulan felt that he was full of sweet talk, she did not mention leaving in ten minutes.
"It's dinner time now, shall we talk while we eat?"
Shen Qiulan said “hmm”.
She glanced back and forth between Bo Yishu and Sheng Jing.
These two people together are an incredible match.
Sheng Jing noticed Shen Qiulan's gaze and straightened his back subconsciously.
Bo Yishu noticed Sheng Jing's discomfort, and quietly reached out and held her hand in his palm.
Sheng Jing subconsciously looked towards Shen Qiulan.
Shen Qiulan: “…”
That little action, do you think she is blind?
However, Shen Qiulan did not say anything. She stared at Bo Yishu and said, "I heard that you are now in charge of Dongteng?"
Bo Yishu nodded: "That's right."
"Being under 30 and in charge of such a large group, the pressure must be huge, right?"
“Of course there is pressure, but I like challenging things.”
"Is it the same with relationships?"
Bo Yishu paused.
I didn't expect it to be so roundabout.
"Love and career have always been two different things."
"That's not necessarily true."
Of course Bo Yishu knew what she was referring to.
"With my abilities, I don't need to sacrifice my feelings to enhance my career."
"Young man, you are so arrogant."
Bo Yishu's ability is indeed beyond doubt.
However, businessmen never do business at a loss.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was a little tense.
Sheng Jing pursed his lips as he listened to their sarcastic words.
She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
At this moment, Bo Yishu gently squeezed her hand and said:
"Auntie, it's not that I'm being arrogant, it's that I've never treated feelings as a business."
He looked at Shen Qiulan seriously.
Gan Yu's analysis was correct. Shen Qiulan didn't care about whether he was rich or handsome.
What she wants is a man who is sincere, can treat her daughter sincerely, and can be entrusted with her daughter's life.
After Shen Qiulan looked at him for a long time, she said, "People will change."
"People do change, but at least at this moment, I can guarantee that what Sheng Jing and I are talking about is feelings, not interests."
Hearing this, Shen Qiulan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
What he said was flawless.
He didn't make big promises or promises just to get her to agree.
There is no condescending attitude.
She glanced again at the person sitting next to him.
She has already started eating.
Just now Bo Yishu said, talk while eating.
However, neither Bo Yishu nor Shen Qiulan picked up their chopsticks, and their words were full of sarcasm.
Sheng Jing was hungry, so he started eating.
The place Bo Yishu booked today and the dishes he ordered were all Huicheng specialties.
Sheng Jing hasn't eaten Huicheng's food for a long time, and she still misses it a little.
She ate very seriously.
Shen Qiulan was stunned for a moment.
It seemed like... she hadn't sat at the same table with Sheng Jing for a long time.
She couldn't remember the last time she had dinner with her.
It seems like... before she went abroad.
She called her out for a meal.
She and Sheng Yecheng divorced, Sheng Jing was raised by Sheng Yecheng, and she went to explore overseas markets.
During that meal, she gave Sheng Jing a lot of instructions.
Sheng Jing, on the other hand, ate in silence.
She didn't make any noise while eating today.
But it feels different from that day.
"Let's eat."
When Shen Qiulan started talking about eating, Sheng Jing was slightly stunned.
Her mother likes to talk at the dinner table.
If Sheng Jing didn't want to argue with her, he would eat quietly.
Today she thought that Shen Qiulan would continue to confront Bo Yishu, but unexpectedly, after just a few words, she agreed to eat.
Is that enough?
Sheng Jing looked at Bo Yishu with some curiosity.
"This is the signature dish. It seems good. You can try it."
Bo Yishu picked up a piece of meat for her with the serving chopsticks.
The two of them often dine together, so it is normal for them to pick up food for each other.
After Sheng Jing finished eating, she belatedly glanced towards her mother.
Her mother had already started eating and was not looking at her.
Sheng Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
The meal went peacefully.
"Sheng Jing, go buy me some things. I'm leaving soon."
After dinner, Shen Qiulan asked Sheng Jing to help her buy things.
Sheng Jing knew that he wanted to get her out of the way so that she could talk to Bo Yishu alone.
She looked at Bo Yishu with some concern.
Bo Yishu made her feel at ease.
Sheng Jing had no choice but to leave obediently.
After Sheng Jing left, only Shen Qiulan and Bo Yishu were left in the private room.
The two sat at the same table, and the atmosphere was tense.
Shen Qiulan spoke first: "Time is tight, so I won't beat around the bush."
She said bluntly: "If I can stop it, I don't want Sheng Jing to have anything to do with you at all."
When Bo Yishu heard this, he clenched his fists slightly.
But he still looked very calm.
"Auntie, I know you don't agree because you love Sheng Jing very much and you're considering her."
Shen Qiulan raised her eyebrows: “It’s good that you know.”
“I love Shengjing too.”
When Shen Qiulan heard his words, she showed disdain.
The word love is so light.
You may love me today, but not tomorrow.
Shen Qiulan doesn't believe in love.
"You are Chen Yunyue's grandson. Now that you have taken over Dongteng, there should be a lot of people watching you, right?"
Shen Qiulan didn't say anything about love.
She directly stated what she was most worried about: "If my information is correct, your two uncles..."
Shen Qiulan didn't finish her words, but Bo Yishu already knew what she wanted to say.
His two uncles died in a power struggle.
The Chen family, which appears to be bright and beautiful on the outside, is actually very infighting.
His appearance will cause the Chen family to point all their accusations at him.
The relationship between him and Sheng Jing is no longer a secret.
Then, if someone wants to deal with him, Sheng Jing might be hurt.
The last time was the leak of Quan Siyuan’s manuscript.
What about next time?
…………
When Sheng Jing came back from shopping, he received a message from Shen Qiulan: [I'm leaving.]
She has always been so decisive.
Sheng Jing pursed his lips and replied: [Be careful on the road.]
After a while, Shen Qiulan replied with a [hmm].
Sheng Jing put his phone in his pocket and pushed open the door of the private room.
Bo Yishu sat there, not knowing what he was thinking, as if he was in a daze.
"Ashu?"
Bo Yishu came to his senses when he heard Sheng Jing's voice.
"Are you back?"
"Um."
Sheng Jing still had the things Shen Qiulan wanted in his hand, but she left without taking them.
"Your mother..."
"I know. She has a plane to catch."
Bo Yishu felt a little distressed when he saw her calm expression.
He raised his hand and rubbed his fingers against her cheek.
"I'm fine, I'm used to it."
In Shen Qiulan's life map, she has never been the most important one.
It might have felt unfair before, but now...
She thinks this is a good idea.
She didn't want to dwell on this topic and took the initiative to change the subject.
"Did you convince her?"
Bo Yishu looked at her, his eyes seemed to contain many emotions.
"Um?"
Bo Yishu shook his head.
He did not convince Shen Qiulan.
"So she just left like that?"
"Mr. Sheng, you look a little disappointed?"
Sheng Jing denied it, but his eyes were a little vague: "No."
It’s obviously there.
Bo Yishu didn't expose her, but said, "I was just thinking seriously about what your mother said."
When Sheng Jing heard what he said, he looked at him in surprise.
But her mother doesn't want them to be together.
Is he thinking of breaking up?
Sheng Jing frowned and looked at him seriously.
If he wanted to break up, she would definitely be angry.
It was the first time that Bo Yishu saw Sheng Jing with such an expression.
Looks like he's angry.
But even when angry, it's... kind of cute.
Bo Yishu raised his hand to smooth the wrinkles between her brows.
Sheng Jing no longer frowned, but stared at him seriously.
Obviously, she would not let it go unless he explained what he had just said.
"I promised my grandfather to take charge of Dongteng. I signed a military order. If I lose, I might become penniless. If I win, I will become the target of public criticism."
Whether he wins or loses, now that he has jumped into the Dongteng plate, he has to understand the rules.
Regardless of winning or losing, it will affect the grand scene.
"Ajing, would you like to accompany me?"
