C177 (1/2)

Lin Ran's face suddenly became deathly pale. I watched as she bit her lower lip, her fists becoming tighter and tighter, and her eyes turning redder and redder.

”Think carefully!” The old tutor's words were like an ultimatum to her.

”I think we should just leave it at that. Sister-in-law, you have three days to think about it. We'll come back in three days.”

When Bo Lengqing saw that the atmosphere was tense enough, he immediately pulled me up from the sofa and left the house.

Sitting in the car, I lean against the window, looking out at the scenery, thinking.

”What are you thinking about?”

”If Lin Ran agrees, then you are really going to that branch family...” I didn't go on.

He suddenly laughed out loud. ”Are you jealous today?”

I glared at him. ”Those words you said could easily make others misunderstand. You will never forget their old friendship!”

He did not say anything, but continued driving until they reached the river before stopping.

He opened the window and let the river breeze in. It was cool and bitter.

”I've thought about what you said for a long time.” He looked at the sparkling river water and softly said, ”Some of you are right. If you don't hurry up, I'm afraid you'll have too many problems.”

As he spoke, he gently stroked my hair. ”I don't want to see you hurt again. No harm will do.”

”Tea, you are very smart. You should be clear about Lin Ran's current situation.”

Yes, I know. Her marriage with Bo Xiao had no emotional basis to begin with. She looked down on him, and he was too lazy to serve her.

Especially after what had happened, the two of them had gone from being husband and wife to becoming enemies.

This was definitely not an act.

No woman would ever forgive a person who hurt their child because of another woman and an illegitimate child, let alone that person.

Most importantly, not only did Bo Xiao not realise his own mistake, not only did he inflate his distant cousin's stomach, he even brought her back home. Even if he were to face her daily, most probably not even an ordinary person would be able to bear with this!

”From the looks of it, you pity her a lot?” I raised my eyebrows.

”I will not sympathize with anyone who has nothing to do with me. However, she is still a very good chess piece.”

”Chess pieces?” I frowned.

”If it was said that even if there was no love between Lin Ran and the other party, they were still a community of interests, but when their interests diverged, things would no longer continue to be peaceful. Lin Ran is an intelligent woman and an outstanding merchant. She knows what to do. ”

I instantly understood. Bo Lengqing seemingly inadvertently brought up Lin Ran's saving of his life, but in reality, it's telling her that he still remembered her good toward him. With regards to the old gramps and the rest, she would naturally hold some hope for Bo Lengqing. At that time, things would be much easier to handle.

”Then why don't we just settle everything today?”

He smiled and shook his head. ”There are some things that still need to be fermented. There's no rush. Let's take it slowly.”

At first, I didn't understand what he meant, but on the second day that we were going home, Bo Lengqing suddenly received a call.

He gave me an address and took me with him.

That place was a private bar.

There weren't many people inside, so Bo Lengqing directly brought me to a private box.

In that room, there was a person sitting early in the morning — — Lu Yuxuan.

I frowned. On the phone, the way he said it, it was obvious that this wasn't the first time he contacted the person on the other end of the phone. When did they start contacting behind my back?

”Second cousin, you're here!” Lu Yuxuan immediately walked towards me, and shook my hand familiarly.

I frowned and subconsciously wanted to take a step back. However, Bo Lengqing, who was behind me, pushed me and supported my shoulders, not letting me retreat at all.

I forced myself to let her hold my hand.

That time when I hurt you and Rui Rui, it wasn't because of my heart, but because of my cousin. My cousin told me to do it, but I never thought that you, an adult, would not only not care about it, but also take me in when I was almost forced onto the streets …

I was confused as I glanced at Bo Lengqing from the corner of my eyes. This matter, of course it couldn't be done by me.
