“Give me your phone. I want to call Jinchuan.”
The worry on Lairong’s face deepened. “Old Madam, Young Master and the rest must be busy now. It’s not convenient for them to answer the call. Let’s wait for them to finish their work and come back. Ah! Let’s wait for them to finish their work…”
“I told you to give me your phone!”
Old Lady Bo suddenly shouted angrily, her voice unprecedentedly heavy.
Startled, Lai Rong didn’t dare to delay any longer. She took out her phone and called Bo Jinchuan.
Bo Jinchuan’s phone was with Yu Song. When he saw that it was from the old lady, his expression froze and he hurriedly answered the call.
“Hello?”
“Oh, Special Assistant Yu, I’m Lai Rong. Old Madam has something important to discuss with Young Master.”
Yu Song paused, but he didn’t reject Lai Rong’s tone. He got out of the car and walked to the door. He negotiated with the staff and wanted to pass the news to Bo Jinchuan.
At that moment, Bo Jinchuan walked out with Shen Fanxing in his arms.
Yu Song hurriedly went up to him. “Sir, the old lady is calling. She wants you to answer the call.”
Shen Fanxing said worriedly, “She must have seen what happened at the summit.”
Bo Jinchuan frowned and took the phone. He pulled Shen Fanxing to the lounge and sat her down.
Then, she walked to the side and spoke on the phone. “Grandma?”
“Yes. If there’s nothing else at the summit, come back immediately.”
His expression was calm as he asked calmly, “What happened?”
“Something unexpected happened. I don’t care who’s at fault this time. I don’t want to see such a situation happen again. I’m not criticizing you or blaming you. It’s just that I can’t ask anyone else other than you… Jinchuan, do you understand what Grandma means?”
The old lady’s voice trembled. Even through the phone, he could clearly feel her helplessness and disappointment.
Frowning slightly, she said again, “I know. Rest first. We’ll talk when I get back.”
“Okay.”
The old lady didn’t seem to have much energy. She replied weakly, “Fanxing, are you alright?”
“She’s fine.”
“Yes, take good care of her. Jinchuan, the Bo family has wronged her.”
Bo Jinchuan pursed his lips and replied, “Yes.”
The old lady didn’t say anything else and hung up.
Afraid that the old lady would call Old Master Bo in a fit of anger and say something irreparable, Lai Rong hurriedly picked up her phone. In the end, she understood the old lady too well.
Even though she had used the excuse of calling Young Master to get his phone, her final goal was still Old Master Bo.
At this moment, Old Lady Bo had already placed the phone to her ear and raised her hand to stop Lai Rong from reaching out.
The conference was dispersed due to the confrontation between the Bo family and their grandson. Old Master Bo walked out of the exhibition center with Bo Yuelin’s help.
Bo Yuelin was in a bad mood. When his phone rang, he felt impatient. However, when he saw the caller ID, he subconsciously glanced at Old Master Bo and hesitated before saying, “It’s Mother.”
Old Master Bo’s face turned even colder.
Bo Yuelin answered the call. “Mother…”
“Put your father on the phone.”
The old lady’s sharp and domineering words stunned Bo Yuelin. He placed his phone in front of Old Master Bo and said, “Mother is looking for you.”
Old Master Bo pursed his lips tightly and stared at his phone for a long time, but he didn’t take it.
“I’m not in the mood to talk to her!”
He pushed the phone away and broke free from Bo Yuelin’s support. He staggered towards the parking lot as though he was escaping.
The old lady could hear his words clearly through the phone screen. There was no expression on her cold face.
“Hello, Mother. Father isn’t in a good mood now. If anything happens…”
“Since he refuses to answer the call, help me tell him that since he’s so disrespectful and shameless, it doesn’t matter if he gets a divorce at his age!”
If it wasn’t for the fact that he cared about his reputation and felt that a divorce would be embarrassing, she would have divorced Si Chen and Ruoyi.
If that stubborn old man hadn’t compromised, she wouldn’t have compromised with him.
Back then, when he took over the Bo Consortium, it was an era of change. There was a lot of unrest. Black and white, merchants and bandits were in a mess. At that time, he was clearly a businessman, but he had a bad temper and a straightforward personality. There were too many habits that no one thought highly of him.
Yet, he had saved her time and time again.
Her chauvinistic personality made it impossible for her to say anything romantic, but even a fool would know that he was interested in her.
Her life was given to her by him.
Without him, she wouldn’t have survived until now.
She was grateful to him. In that era, his personality and appearance had indeed attracted women.
There were too many factors that made her decide to be with him.
Actually, the first few years were good. Really good.
She understood that the family’s interests came first. She had always felt sorry for the children, but she had never stopped him.
And the children had never disappointed him. She was also gratified to see her children becoming more outstanding.
However, she had never expected him to interfere in the marriage of her children.
Her son didn’t even have the right to choose the woman he liked.
The differences started from those days, and the distance between them widened bit by bit.
She even wondered if she was right to choose to be with him.
How did he feel when he married her?
If he really liked and loved her, why would he do such a thing?
Only someone who had never loved would stop two people who loved each other from being together.
This was because this kind of person had no idea how rare it was for two people to fall in love and how painful it was to be separated.
However, Si Chen and Ruoyi had a child. Since he had given in, she didn’t pursue the matter anymore.
Moreover, she had a grandson. This matter was enough to attract her attention.
From then on, there was a long period of peace. The greatest joy every day was worrying about her grandchildren.
It had been thirty years. She didn’t expect that stubborn old man to still be so stubborn and use the same trick.
She was getting older and older.
How could he not be involved in the destruction of the Yuan family?
Now, she had chased Jingchuan out of the Bo family and even humiliated him in an international event…
The reputation of the Bo family…
Did he know what dignity was?
In the end, his biological grandfather was worse than a stranger.
That child was willing to risk his life to protect Jinchuan and Fanxing, but he was the executioner.
She was wrong. She should have broken off this relationship with him thirty years ago. Perhaps if she had thought of him, things would not have turned out this way.
Her words stunned Bo Yuelin for a long time. “Mother… Don’t mess around. Father has his own reasons…”
“He has no choice, but he can’t bear the consequences alone. What’s wrong with his emotions? He should be very happy to embarrass Jinchuan successfully! If he’s satisfied, let him come back quickly. After delaying for 30 years, I won’t compromise this time. I’ll give him a day’s time. I want to see him the day after tomorrow. If he doesn’t respond, then I’ll treat it as a failure.”
“Mother, you…”
The old lady hung up without giving Bo Yuelin a chance to speak.
Lai Rong shook her head helplessly and said, “Old Madam, why do you have to do this? It’s been so many years. There are still a few years to go. The current situation is not what Old Master wants to see. Now that Young Madam is pregnant, I believe he will figure it out sooner or later.”
Old Lady Bo shook her head and said, “You have to understand that he has long understood. Back then, Ruoyi almost lost the child in her stomach because of his stupid decision. Now, I won’t allow Fanxing to have such a day. Even if I don’t have a few years to live, I want to end the mistake I made before…”
At this point, the old lady heaved a long sigh. “Lairong, perhaps I’ve never been loved by him in my life…”
Lai Rong was moved. She placed her hands on the old lady’s shoulders and said, “Old Madam, you can’t use this to measure the relationship between you and Old Master. Times are different and ideas are different. There’s a huge pressure on him…”
“I know he has his reasons and I can understand that. However, I’ve understood him my entire life. When has he ever accommodated me? If I continue to understand, I don’t know what else will happen.”
“But Old Madam…”
“Stop talking, Lai Rong. I’ve made up my mind.”
Lai Rong sighed helplessly and shook her head.
–
Bo Jinchuan hung up the call. In the blink of an eye, Shen Fanxing, who was sitting on the sofa, was holding her phone. Although her head was lowered, Bo Jinchuan could still see a frown on her usually smooth forehead. Her exquisite brows were lowered and her face was tense. Her aura was obvious.
She was angry. To be precise, she was furious.
“What’s wrong?”
He approached her and asked in a low voice.
Shen Fanxing raised her head slowly, her exquisite features frosty.
Bo Jinchuan frowned and his gaze landed on the phone in her hand.
Shen Fanxing opened Weibo coldly and typed a message. There were only two words: Wait.
Then, she kept her phone and stood up slowly. Her cold face was filled with suppressed anger.
“Ah Chuan, let’s go back to Ping Cheng.”
Bo Jinchuan didn’t probe further and nodded. “Okay.”
Bo Jinghang, Yin Ruijue and the rest had rushed out. Upon hearing Shen Fanxing’s words, they asked her what was going on. However, Shen Fanxing’s expression was too scary and they didn’t receive a response.
The group almost left the exhibition center and went straight to the airport.
Yu Song had already received orders to arrange everything.
After Bo Jinghang and the rest boarded the plane, they realized why Shen Fanxing was so angry.
At this moment, there were only two words on the trending searches: “Wait.”
When she clicked on it, she realized that it was Shen Fanxing’s Weibo post.
In just half an hour, there were already more than ten thousand comments.
“Oh, who are you waiting for?”
“She must have seen someone defaming her gigolo online and wants to settle scores with him.”
“What nonsense are you spouting? She has already cheated on that gigolo. If she wants to settle scores, the first person she should look for should be herself.”
“Watch your mouths. You’ve forced her to commit suicide and send her to the emergency room. Aren’t you afraid of being criminally responsible?”
“How can anyone believe such a childish trick? Who are you trying to scare? They said that the police are involved, but there hasn’t been an official announcement yet. Only idiots would believe such words!”
“Your mouth is so dirty. Since you can’t stop persuading me, just wait to be punished. People like you are equivalent to murderers. You’d better be shot to death!”
“I’ll live to a ripe old age and I’ll be able to kill all your descendants!”
…
Along the way, they found out the cause of the incident and saw those people on the Internet mocking and defaming Brother Bo. In the end, they even forced a fan who spoke up for them to commit suicide and be hospitalized.
Yin Ruijue kicked the chair in front of him.
“F*ck! These f*cking people deserve to die!”
Everyone who spoke up for Brother Bo turned into a prostitute. They pressed their heads forcefully, unable to deny it.
She had an attitude that said, “I won’t listen to your explanation. If I say you’re the one, then you’re the one.”
Bo Jinghang, Yin Ruijue and the rest never cared about these things because they felt that there were more interesting things to do.
They had even said that arguing with those idiots was equivalent to lowering one’s value. Why did they have to go against a bunch of animals?
And now, after seeing these people’s comments, their anger was easily provoked.
Since beasts wore human skin, they should be hacked into pieces!
Ever since the development of the internet, when did the trend become like this? Even they found it unbelievable.
How many people had been crushed by these comments online?
Depression and suicide were common.
Now, it had happened to her.
How could one tolerate reading these comments in person?
Bo Jinghang was also furious. “Damn it, find these people and cripple them!”
Yu Song said, “I’m already investigating.”
It was already past nine o’clock at night. The plane would reach Ping Cheng at around eleven.
Shen Fanxing remained silent as she leaned against her seat.
Bo Jinchuan lifted her chin and stared straight at her.
“The matter will be resolved. Don’t think about those things now.”
Shen Fanxing closed her eyes and when she opened them again, her eyes were red.
“I can’t forgive them. These people hiding behind the Internet don’t deserve to be forgiven. They’re murderers…”
Her entire body trembled slightly, and tears welled up in her stubborn eyes.
Her current state was worse than when she was the victim of online violence.
After all, this was already a human life. It was precisely because she knew how it felt that she was so agitated now.
Bo Jinchuan pressed his forehead against hers and caressed her back gently. “Yes, they are murderers. They will pay for this.”
Because of Bo Jinchuan’s consolation, Shen Fanxing felt better. She buried her head in Bo Jinchuan’s embrace and remained silent.
When the surrounding people saw her like this, they obediently remained silent, afraid that they would poke her.
After a two-hour flight, Shen Fanxing fell asleep under Bo Jinchuan’s coaxing.
While she was resting, the content of the international summit was uploaded online.
[Shocking! The person in charge of the Ming Corporation is—]

It was like talking to a cow.
