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.
I'm not that generous. I don't care about the woman who tried to rob my husband and almost killed my kid.
"Don't talk in the doorway."
he said, taking my hand and going into the box and sitting down.
"Right, right!" Look at me, I forgot all about it! " Lu Yuxuan said as he sat down on the sofa with his stomach propped up.
To be honest, I really don't like this woman.
I am too clear that she does not have any feelings for Bo Xiao, and she should know that having this child in her hands will become a thorn in the eyes of the Lin Family.
On the basis of not having any love at all, she still resolutely decided to give birth to her child. She only wanted to get a share of Bo Xiao's inheritance.
This woman was too ruthless to him, but in reality, she was no different from those insatiable people.
However, the things that a mother relied on her son for were far too many, far too many, since ancient times.
However, there were some things that depended on one's fate.
"I've already thought about what you've told me." Lu Yuxuan said as he picked up a glass of wine. I do not know what she meant, but I do know that Bo Lengqing used my name to do all of this.
I frowned and took her hand. "Drinking is not good for your baby."
Stunned, she smiled and shook her head. "It's fine. This is just like ordinary drinks. It can't hurt a child."
"Are you sure? Have you considered this clearly?" I followed her instructions and continued my questioning.
Her hand tightened on the glass of wine, her eyes …
As she spoke, she looked at me and said, "I can't accept this, I can't accept this! Why did she only need a few words to change the lives of others?! "Originally, I could have lived my life in peace..."
I listened to Lu Yuxuan's miserable performance with no expression on my face.
She recounted her own experiences, but it was nothing more than after returning to her own country. Lu Yunliu continued to introduce her to others in the name of work, pulling her into his group.
However, just as she had said, her original life could indeed be very good.
She had experienced staying in the ocean and was beautiful, so she was much better than most people. If she was allowed to live a normal life, then she wouldn't just let it go.
"I will agree to all your conditions. I only have one request!" As Lu Yuxuan said that, he pulled on my hand.
"Go ahead."
"I want my child. No matter what happens, I want my child by my side!"
"Sure." Before I could say anything, Bo Lengqing answered for me.
"However, you must think this through. Once you are discovered by them, your end will not be too good." Bo Lengqing's voice was extremely light.
"It's still better than not knowing when that stallion Bo Xiao got spoiled by him!" Lu Yuxuan's eyes flashed. I can see that it was a determination to put life and death outside of one's control.
"Alright, it's getting late, you should also go back. If you have any problems in the future, come here directly and someone will naturally come to pick you up. Remember your choice. In the future, be smarter."
"Got it, thank you cousin sister for giving me this chance." Lu Yuxuan said as he drank another cup of wine that was filled with air, then left the private box.
I didn't know what was going on until she left.
"When did you contact Lu Yuxuan behind my back?"
He held me in his arms and said, "Silly girl, don't sound so bad. What do you mean, contact her behind your back? I don't have anything to hide from you."
I pushed him away. "Stop being so glib with your words. Hurry up and get to the bottom of this!"
He slightly smiled: "Actually it's nothing much, it's just that on that day when Lu Yuxuan was kicked out of the old house, I sent a car to follow her. It was Lu Yunliu who was too heartless in his actions. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to dig out such a good chess piece. "
"What do you mean?" I frowned.
"Lu Yunliu left her in a desolate mountain, there were no signs of her around, and she did not even leave a single cent behind. She just left her people in the car and ran off, if not for the people I sent, she would have died outside."
"What?!" I'm a little surprised, Lu Yuxuan is Lu Yunliu's cousin after all, even if something like that happened, she would still be held accountable. It's fine if she didn't pay for it, but she actually wants him to kill himself?!
Lu Yunliu's way of eating, wasn't that a little too unsightly?!
