When the old lady went back, she was in a bad mood.
When Shen Fanxing saw this, she couldn’t help but feel puzzled. However, too many things had happened today, so she didn’t dare to ask.
If it was because of the divorce, it was best not to mention her doubts.
The old lady chatted in the living room for a while. She wasn’t in a good state and went into her room to rest.
“Mom, what happened to Grandma? Didn’t she go to Second Uncle’s house? Did Second Uncle make her angry?”
Lou Ruoyi took a deep breath and said, “More or less. Although your second uncle took out his shares, he still felt that he needed to train, so he applied to go to Australia to help the Bo Consortium develop the market. I don’t know how long it will be before we can meet again. Old Madam is unhappy and feels that she shouldn’t be like this now that she’s old. She also wants her son to accompany her. Isn’t that… sad…”
After hearing that, Shen Fanxing frowned slightly. She turned to look at Bo Sichen and said calmly,
“Really? Since it’s Second Uncle’s decision, there’s nothing we can do. No one wants to live a mediocre life.”
Lou Ruoyi nodded. “That’s right. That’s what he meant too. He insisted on making a name for himself. That stubborn man is definitely Old Master’s biological son.”
Shen Fanxing smiled and didn’t continue the conversation.
Bo Sichen brought Lou Ruoyi upstairs. Shen Fanxing sat alone in the living room for a while. Looking at the time, Xu Qingzhi was still asleep. She stood up in boredom.
The sunlight outside was good. When she went out, she felt the afternoon sun shining on her body. It was especially comfortable.
She put on her coat and went out alone to shop.
Grand View Manor was huge. After staying here for so long, she had never finished touring the manor.
In fact, she didn’t shop much.
Now, she didn’t dare to go far, afraid that if she did, she wouldn’t be able to return.
After some thought, she realized that she had not seen Bo Jinchuan’s gift for a long time.
On the way, she saw Yu Song with a few people. He was busy with a long hose in his hand. There were a few cars parked beside him. They were undoubtedly spare cars from the manor and they were all expensive.
From the looks of it, the weather was good. They received the sprinklers that they usually watered and washed the car.
Shen Fanxing stood at the side and watched them quietly.
When the men were together, the atmosphere was more relaxed than usual, but the things in their hands were still orderly.
When Yu Song saw Shen Fanxing, he wiped his hands and ran over.
“Madam.”
Shen Fanxing smiled and watched as Yu Song took off his suit jacket. He was only wearing a shirt with his sleeves rolled up and his face was covered in sweat.
She thought to herself that men were really energetic.
“Is he washing the car?”
Yu Song nodded and said, “Yes, the cars in the garage haven’t been used for a long time. I just took my brothers out for a walk. The weather is good and there’s nothing much to do, so I washed up here.”
Shen Fanxing nodded and looked ahead. She paused and smiled.
“I don’t usually see you even when I’m free. It’s so rare today… I’m actually free.”
Yu Song smiled awkwardly. “I can’t be busy every day. There were indeed a lot of things going on not long ago. I was just a little free today.”
“Really?” Shen Fanxing paused and looked down at the plant beside her feet. “Special Assistant Yu, I didn’t see Second Uncle in court today. Ah Chuan said that some of the things I encountered previously were planned by Second Uncle behind the scenes. Including the fact that he tried his best to matchmake Yuan Sichun and Ah Chuan, it was all because he knew my identity in advance… You know about all these, right?”
Yu Song nodded without thinking. “I know.”
After all, he was the one who investigated these matters.
“Then you also know that Second Uncle took out 30% of his shares?”
Yu Song nodded nervously and looked at Shen Fanxing warily.
“Madam… what do you want to say?”
Looking at him, Shen Fanxing couldn’t help but laugh. “Am I that scary? I’m just chatting with you.”
Yu Song smiled awkwardly and scratched his head.
It wasn’t as if he hadn’t seen her ability before. She could grab hold of someone’s weakness with a single sentence. With a few words, she could silence them. Any more and the other party would lose completely.
When she tricked others, she was accurate. Why wasn’t she scary?
But he couldn’t just say that she was scary.
“Why would Madam be scary?”
“Right?” Shen Fanxing said matter-of-factly. “There’s something I don’t understand. Second Uncle’s previous matter has been investigated. Handing over 30% of the shares is considered an explanation. Why did he suddenly decide to go to Australia? Did he ask to go himself, or was someone forcing him or suggesting him to go?”
Yu Song heaved a sigh of relief. “This is just an excuse. He can’t leave the country.”
Shen Fanxing raised an eyebrow and asked, “What do you mean?”
“So many people died in the plane accident, as well as other matters, including the reporter who interviewed you at the airport not long ago. Sir asked me to keep an eye on him, and he was almost killed that night… It was precisely because I caught the reporter who impersonated him that I could really find out Second Master’s true weakness and found out a series of things. Almost everything violated the law. Even if he is a member of the Bo family, he can’t escape the law easily.”
“Of course, the most important thing is that Master won’t let him off easily. If not for Second Master…”
Yu Song paused, his expression conflicted.
Shen Fanxing narrowed her eyes and asked, “Why?”
Yu Song sighed and hesitated for a few seconds before saying helplessly,
“Back then, Second Master even knelt down to Master… I just hope that the matter won’t be made public. Young Master Bei Xiao is currently on the rise in the military. Old Master and Old Madam are indeed not young anymore. If they find out that he killed his biological brother, I’m afraid his body will collapse…”
“At the end of the day, Master isn’t an absolutely heartless person. Young Master Bei Xiao is right. The two elders, especially the old lady, which descendant doesn’t want them to be healthy and live a long life? Therefore, Master agreed in the end to not publicize the matter.”
Shen Fanxing pursed her lips and nodded slowly. “So, Second Uncle isn’t going to Australia but has been sentenced to prison?”
Yu Song nodded. “…No.”
Shen Fanxing’s heart skipped a beat.
Thinking about how Grandma was so sad because Second Uncle was going to Australia, this news was enough to shatter her spirit.
Never-ending…
She took a deep breath. “… Old Master doesn’t know about this either?”
Yu Song nodded. “Yes, Second Master proposed to return the shares first. He didn’t say anything else and kept it a secret… So Madam…”
“I know,” replied Shen Fanxing to Yu Song’s worries.
She naturally knew that hiding this matter was the best choice.
Yu Song heaved a sigh of relief.

In the end, Shen Fanxing decided to visit the alpaca alone.
Bo Jinchuan had hired someone to take care of it.
Every time she looked at it, it seemed to be a little stronger than the last time she saw it. The fur on its body was white and clean, and its furry head was neatly trimmed. It had a pair of big eyes and thick black eyelashes. It always had a smile on its face, and it looked adorable no matter how she looked at it.
The thought of this being a gift from Bo Jinchuan’s lover when he pursued her made her laugh.
It was just a joke back then, but he took it seriously and even got Yu Song to send her to the company.
There was probably no one in this world who would give such an ingenious gift.
She picked up a branch with green leaves and handed it to it. Seeing that it ate it elegantly and arrogantly, she reached out to touch its bulging cheeks.
“Thank me. You’re probably the happiest alpaca in the world. People can’t compare to your series.”
The alpaca raised its neck slightly again, as if it was even more proud.
Shen Fanxing smiled and fed it something. She seemed to have thought of something and suddenly turned to ask the breeder, “Is it male or female?”
The breeder hurriedly said, “A male.”
Shen Fanxing nodded and asked, “Shouldn’t you find a wife for it?”
The breeder paused, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “Of course.”
Shen Fanxing smiled and took a deep breath before turning around to leave.
Halfway there, she saw Bo Jinchuan walking towards her.
“Hi.”
Shen Fanxing greeted him with a smile.
Bo Jinchuan frowned and asked, “Where did you go?”
Shen Fanxing pointed behind her and said, “To see the alpaca… I have something to tell you…”
“Forget it,” interrupted Bo Jinchuan. “It’s an undeniable fact that Second Uncle has broken the law. I’ve already made the biggest concession. He should be glad that I still acknowledge him as my Second Uncle.”
Shen Fanxing gaped at him in surprise. She knew that Yu Song had informed him.
This Yu Song was really… a lackey.
Could they still chat happily in the future?
“I just want to tell you… what does finding a wife for the alpaca have to do with Second Uncle?”
This time, it was Bo Jinchuan who paused.
“Find a wife for the alpaca?”
Shen Fanxing nodded and looked at him for a few seconds before laughing softly.
“Do you think I’ll speak up for Second Uncle? Do you think I’m too kind?”
Bo Jinchuan was speechless.
“I’m a legal citizen now, and this country is a society ruled by law. It’s only natural that I have to bear the consequences of breaking the law. Moreover, what Second Uncle did to me isn’t worthy of my forgiveness. At most, my heart aches for Grandma, but that’s one thing and another. My heart aches for Grandma. There’s no conflict between Second Uncle and me. He’s an adult. Not only did he ruin his own life, but he also ruined so many people’s families and lives. He wants others to forgive him? That’s impossible, right? I’m not some saint, right? I don’t have the halo of a saint to shine on the world.”
She patted Bo Jinchuan’s shoulder and said, “Sorry to disappoint you.”
Bo Jinchuan glanced at her and said, “So what? Why are you saying so much?”
Shen Fanxing choked.
“Are you saying these words for me or for yourself?”
Shen Fanxing was at a loss for words and her expression stiffened.
Bo Jinchuan took her hand and said, “You don’t have to feel guilty or try to comfort me. You’re right. Second Uncle doesn’t need anyone’s sympathy and forgiveness. Since he has decided to do it back then, he should bear the responsibility. This is his own business and has nothing to do with anyone else.”
Shen Fanxing raised an eyebrow and said, “That’s what I meant. Why are you repeating me?”
Bo Jinchuan pursed his lips and pulled her towards the villa.
“A woman sings with her husband.”
Shen Fanxing smiled.
She placed her hand on her stomach and said, “My stomach seems to have gotten bigger.”
Bo Jinchuan smirked and said, “I’ll take a good look when we get back.”
—
With Xu Qingzhi around, Shen Fanxing didn’t have the chance to think about anything else.
Lai Rong must have comforted her a lot. With Lou Ruoyi and the other two by her side, the old lady’s mood improved gradually.
The old lady was a smart person, but not many people in the family knew about Bo Yuelin.
Bo Jinchuan, Shen Fanxing and even Bo Sichen were smart. It wasn’t difficult for them to hide something from the old lady.
There were enough topics for the four women to talk about. Sometimes, they even had to chat while playing mahjong.
A man… a husband was usually just a decoration under such circumstances.
Bo Sichen and Bo Jinchuan sometimes didn’t have the chance to be intimate with their wives.
The two of them were either smoking outside or locked in the study.
The two of them had nothing to talk about. Bo Jinchuan told her about the history of the Ming Corporation.
70% of his experience in managing the Bo Consortium… was related to his wife, Lou Ruoyi.
A few days later, the father and son sat in the study room in silence for a long time. They felt that there was nothing else to say.
Bo Sichen said, “It’s meaningless to be with you.”
Bo Jinchuan said, “Yes, it seems like we’re indeed father and son.”
Clearly, in just a few days, the father and son disliked each other.
The two of them spoke in a similar manner as they looked at each other.
Two minutes later, the two of them retracted their gazes and sighed.
Her face was full of resentment.
“How much do they have to talk about?”
“I don’t know.”
The father and son looked at each other again. This was the first time they had encountered a problem.
How many unbelievable things were in the minds of women?
Occasionally, they would go over to participate in their “conferences”. Not only were they confused, but they would also listen to different things.
They were simply good at everything. They could chat about anything and knew everything.
Then they would fall into deep self-doubt.
By the time she figured out the content of their conversation, the topic would have changed.
The two of them sighed again.
Bo Sichen continued, “I’ve been with your mother for thirty years and I’ve never felt bored. Why are you so bored after spending a few days with you? You’re still young. Remember to reflect on yourself.”
