Bo Yi counted. Bo Xiao really did not have many friends. The only few classmates he had were recruited by Bo Yi as his friends after Bo Xiao left the country.
Ever since he could remember, Bo Yi had been secretly watching Bo Xiao have so many things that he did not have. Hence, ever since he was young, he had sworn in his heart that he would snatch away everything about Bo Xiao, including his friends.
Bo Yi called Bo Xiao’s classmates and was puzzled when he learned that they did not receive an invitation. If he did not invite these people, how would Bo Xiao have other friends?
“I’m sorry, my brother’s birthday is tomorrow. I don’t think he has many friends. Why don’t you guys come over tomorrow night? You haven’t seen my brother in a long time, right?”
Since Bo Yi had spoken, the others naturally agreed.

Not long after Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan left, Madam York received a video call.
After teasing the bird, the old master returned to his room and saw his sister talking to the person on the phone with a smile.
“Ruth, call him Great-grandfather.” Madam York turned the camera towards Old Master. In the video was an extremely beautiful Chinese face, but there was an exotic look in her eyes.
“Hello, Great-grandfather.” The lady in the video was very polite. She even stood up and bowed to the old master.
]”Hello, this is?”
“This is my grand niece, Li Qingxue.” Madam York paused for a moment and added, “She’s from my husband’s bloodline. She’s not related to me by blood and is a girl raised by an artistic family. Her father is Li Jia, a Chinese businessman who has just been conferred the title of duke by England’s royal family.”
“A very outstanding girl.” Old Master nodded.
“Great-grandfather, you’re too kind.” Although Li Qingxue had grown up in England, she had received the nurturing of China’s culture. Speaking of which, she was not much inferior to the daughters of wealthy families in China.
“You guys chat. I’ll go to the backyard to take a look.” Old Master was worried about the fish in his backyard and hurriedly wanted to go to the backyard.
After Old Master left, Madam York asked Li Qingxue about her studies. Seeing that Li Qingxue was hesitating, Madam York understood.
“I’ve seen my grandnephew. It’s been many years since we last met, and he has indeed grown into an extremely outstanding person. No wonder you can remember him from so many years ago.”
Li Qingxue lowered her head, her eyes filled with embarrassment.
Li Qingxue was from a prestigious family and she was a student of a top-notch school. She was outstanding in all aspects. Furthermore, the Li family and the York family had a close relationship. Madam York had long wanted Jun Shiling and Li Qingxue to be together.
If they could recruit Jun Shiling, the York family could do whatever they wanted in the world.
It had been many years since she had returned to China. Ever since she had become the Duchess, she had been too busy to leave. This time, she had come back to celebrate the Old Master’s seventieth birthday. One was to meet her brother, whom she had not seen for many years, and the other was to come back and visit this especially outstanding grandnephew.
“Grandaunt, I’m about to graduate. I want to submit a resume and intern at the Jun Corporation. What do you think?”
“With such an outstanding resume, there’s definitely no problem.” Seeing Li Qingxue’s expectant look, Madam York did not want to discourage her.
Thinking of Xia Wanyuan, Madam York frowned slightly. However, she was ultimately an actress who could not be shown off. The Jun family would definitely not marry such a woman. As for that child, Madam York thought that she would tell Li Qingxue about it when she found the right opportunity.
As long as she had the status of the Madam of the Jun family, Li Qingxue’s children in the future would be the most respected in the Jun family. It was fine to raise another child.
When she married the Duke of York, he had his own child. Wasn’t it her child who had inherited the title?
With Madam York’s guarantee, Li Qingxue was relieved and sent the Jun Corporation an application resume.

When Jun Shiling and his family returned to the manor, Xiao Bao received all sorts of classes and training as usual. He followed the teacher with a bitter expression.
“Uncle Wang, call Shen Xiu over.” Seeing that Xia Wanyuan’s face was a little pale, Jun Shiling was worried and wanted Shen Xiu to come and check.
“You can’t eat so much chili next time.” Jun Shiling poured a glass of water for Xia Wanyuan and fed her.
“You didn’t even let me eat at the manor, but you won’t let me eat at Grandpa’s house?” Although her stomach felt a little uncomfortable, Xia Wanyuan felt that the spicy boiled fish tasted really good. She even wanted to have another meal at night, but seeing Jun Shiling’s expression, Xia Wanyuan knew that this was a delusion.
“I’ll feel uncomfortable with you even after eating.” Jun Shiling gently knocked Xia Wanyuan’s forehead, his eyes filled with helplessness.
Not long after, Shen Xiu came and checked.
“There’s nothing wrong with Madam. It’s mainly because she hasn’t touched spicy food for a long time. Her stomach reacted a little when she suddenly ate too spicy food. Drink more warm water and don’t eat spicy food for the time being. She’ll be fine soon.”
“Did you hear that? You’re not allowed to eat spicy food anymore.” Jun Shiling pinched Xia Wanyuan’s hand and looked at her with indulgent eyes.
Shen Xiu quietly glanced at the two of them, who were exuding a sweet aura.
Thinking of how his sister, who had overturned the heavens, would nag at him every day, “Will my husband be seduced by that little vixen if he shoots with Xia Wanyuan every day?” “If Xia Wanyuan dares to covet my husband, I’ll definitely defame her.” Shen Xiu wanted to operate on his sister’s brain.
Seeing how CEO Jun treated her so well, how could Xia Wanyuan seduce Yan Ci?
Shen Xiu was young, but as the chief surgeon of the hospital, he was especially busy every day. After confirming that Xia Wanyuan was fine, Shen Xiu left.
Jun Shiling picked her up and walked to the bedroom upstairs. “Rest well. You have to attend Bo Xiao’s birthday party tomorrow.”
However, Xia Wanyuan had no intention of letting go of Jun Shiling. She hugged Jun Shiling’s neck and did not let go.
“What’s wrong?” Jun Shiling lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek.
“Accompany me.” Xia Wanyuan had been sticking to Jun Shiling more and more recently. Since her stomach hurt today, Xia Wanyuan didn’t want to stay alone anymore.
“Okay, okay, okay. I’ll sleep with you.” Jun Shiling gently stroked Xia Wanyuan’s hair, his eyes filled with smiles.
He didn’t think that it was a bad thing for Xia Wanyuan to stick to him at all. On the contrary, the more Xia Wanyuan clung to him, the happier he was.
After speaking, Jun Shiling got onto the bed, hugged her, and gently patted her back as he slowly told the story.
——
Although Bo Qing had suggested to arrange Bo Xiao’s birthday party in the hotel, Bo Xiao had rejected him. With Old Master Bo’s support, the entire Bo family had been decorated and filled with the aura of a banquet.
