Chapter 1771: Untitled
There was indeed no room for negotiation.
The old man returned the next day. The reporters surrounded him at the airport.
The news of the divorce had obviously overshadowed the gossip at the international summit.
Without saying a word, Old Master Bo walked out of the airport and headed straight for Old Lady Bo’s villa.
The atmosphere in the living room had been tense until Old Master entered.
The two of them were silent for a long time before Old Master Bo spoke first.
“What do you mean?”
Old Lady Bo pursed her lips. “You didn’t understand the news?”
“Wei Li!” Old Master Bo shouted angrily. “Do you know how difficult it is for me now? Are you trying to interfere now?”
Old Lady Bo laughed coldly and said, “All these years, I’m glad that I didn’t have a heart attack because of you. However, you won’t have the chance or position to shout at me in the future! I know that you’ve suffered for the rest of your life, but have you ever thought about how torturous it is for the person you’re with?”
The old man’s expression froze.
“You only want others to think for you? You’re the most tired, tormented, and innocent in the world. Everyone else is in the wrong. Everyone has to revolve around you. Anyone who has their own thoughts and opinions is going against you.”
Bo Qifeng, you patted your chest and thought about the past decades. When have you ever thought about others? When have you really listened to their opinions?
Have you really tried to empathize with others? Have you ever reflected on what happened in the past when you were alone in bed in the middle of the night?
I don’t think so, because no one would allow themselves to continue living until now.
Everyone had their own life, and you only had your own life. Why did you have to control other people’s lives? How did it feel to have so many lives?
I was too young back then and didn’t see you clearly. I blindly believed in love. As long as I felt that everything was beautiful, I could continue walking with you.
However, I’m not a fool. After I had a child and a grandson, I realized that my blindness was too selfish. Things have progressed step by step, and there’s no lack of my blind trust and indulgence in you, which has implicated them.
I’ve always tried to convince myself that I won’t regret it, but Bo Qifeng, you’ve finally made me unable to lie to myself. The current you has denied the sixty years of my life with you…
Old Lady Bo paused for a moment. Her face, which had always been kind or cold, was now filled with bitter sadness. Her entire body was trembling imperceptibly as she slowly closed her eyes. Her eyes were obviously red.
When Old Master Bo saw her, his cold eyes flickered and his lips parted, but he couldn’t say a word.
“Bo Qifeng, some people don’t even have 60 years in their lives…”
The old lady opened her eyes slowly, her eyes bloodshot.
“I’ve been tied to you my entire life, but what did you give me in the end?
My life has been ruined by you…
I don’t want to be with you anymore, so in the few years I have left, you have to cut me off from this wrong life of yours. Let’s end it here, Bo Qifeng. Please let it go and fulfill my wish.”
Bo Qifeng looked at her quietly for a long time before he stood up slowly. His movements were trembling.
“I don’t agree…”
Old Lady Bo looked up at him, who had already stood up. Her eyes were filled with pain and coldness.
“That’s all I have to say. Are you still selfish and unwilling to let me off? Do you find it embarrassing? But you’ve already lost face.”
Bo Qifeng shook his head. “No… No, you don’t know…”
He turned around slowly and staggered towards the door, his movements flustered.
“Old Master…” Seeing that there was no outcome today, Lai Rong was at a loss. She looked at Old Master and called out softly.
Old Master Bo didn’t stop at all.
She stood between the living room and the door, caught between a rock and a hard place.
Old Lady Bo sat quietly on the sofa, her expression calm and composed.
As if she had exhausted all her energy, she sat there exhausted.
“Old Madam…” Lai Rong hesitated for a moment before saying,” I think Old Master still cares about you… Look, even now, he hasn’t agreed to separate from you… ”
Old Lady Bo stood up and said coldly, “Who knows what he’s thinking? He probably thinks that it’s embarrassing to see the ancestors of the Bo family when there’s no one to bury with him after a hundred years. Anyway, he has lost his face while he’s alive. He has to be more dignified after he dies. Other than that, I really don’t understand why he’s still persisting.”
Bo Qifeng, who had already reached the door, froze when he heard her words.
Other than that, she really couldn’t understand why he insisted on not letting go.
In her heart, was he that useless?
In the end, he got into the car and returned to the Bo family. No matter what reason she had, he would never divorce her.
Bo Jinchuan and Bo Sichen didn’t seem to be affected by what happened today. They didn’t even have any expressions.
At night, Shen Fanxing couldn’t help but ask, “You saw the news, right? Don’t you have anything to say?”
After washing up, Bo Jinchuan carried her into the blanket. “What do you want to say? This is their own business. Does what I say matter?”
Shen Fanxing raised an eyebrow and asked, “Are you just going to leave him alone?”
Bo Jinchuan glanced at her and said, “You still have the mood to worry about others?”
Shen Fanxing pursed her lips and said, “No one else…”
“None of us can say anything about this. The conflict between them has accumulated for decades. They’re older than you and me. If you don’t know what’s going on between them, don’t interfere blindly. You don’t understand right and wrong as well as they do, okay?”
Shen Fanxing turned to look at him with an adoring smile.
“Father, you’re amazing. What you said makes sense.”
Bo Jinchuan frowned and asked, “You only realized now?”
“Of course not! You’ve always been amazing. Today, I’m praising you again!”
Bo Jinchuan smiled and stared at her intently. “So…”
Shen Fanxing rolled her eyes and said, “So can I follow…”
“I can’t.”
Shen Fanxing said, “I haven’t finished speaking…”
Bo Jinchuan snorted and pulled her into his embrace. “How can I not know what you’re thinking?”
Shen Fanxing sighed and took out her phone to send Xu Qingzhi a message.
“Failure. Goodnight.”
Xu Qingzhi said, “The founder of the number one international corporation is such a clingy person!”
Shen Fanxing stuffed her phone back into the blanket.
Bo Jinchuan took out her phone and asked, “Are you plotting against me just to sleep with her?”
Knowing that she was in the wrong, Shen Fanxing buried her head in his chest without a word.
“I’m so sleepy…”
Feeling helpless, Bo Jinchuan planted a kiss on the top of her head.
Shen Fanxing, who was buried in his chest, opened her eyes slowly. She blinked and wrapped her arms around his waist.
This man’s tolerance and indulgence had already filled her heart with gratitude.
The best man in the world was hers.
She had never thought that she would have such feelings for him one day. She felt that all her luck was on meeting him.
“Thank you for your determination and persistence back then. You made me the happiest woman in the world.”
Shen Fanxing’s words came from his chest. Bo Jinchuan paused and said, “Don’t make me sound so noble. I was selfish and wanted you.”
Shen Fanxing smiled and nuzzled against his chest. This domineering man.
She couldn’t even thank him.
–
Old Master Bo didn’t go out. He didn’t want to face the reporters who were chasing after him, nor did he want Wei Li to appear in front of him.
He rejected all chances of meeting Wei Li and didn’t want to talk to her.
Bo Yuelin had been busy with work recently.
Due to the exposure of the founder of the “Ming” Corporation, most of the pressure on the Bo Consortium was applied.
The projects were blocked time and time again, and there were problems of all sizes. It was even more obvious that the cooperative company was becoming more and more disobedient. Everything was neither big nor small, but they all came one after another.
In the past, because of the news of Bo Jinchuan’s identity being exposed, he knew that Bo Jinchuan wasn’t joking when he said that he wanted to encircle and annihilate the Bo Consortium. Now, he understood what it meant.
In the past, Ming Corporation’s attacks on the Bo Consortium were considered small-scale.
And now, she had forced the Bo Consortium into a dead end.
This was because there was no need for the “Ming” Corporation to do anything personally. There were too many companies who wanted to curry favor with them who pressured the Bo Consortium.
This seemingly harmless attack could not be underestimated.
However, it would be good if she died quickly. However, the little things that happened every day tormented her heart and she could not rest in peace.
He informed Old Master about the matters in the company almost every day. However, Old Master, who had always prioritized the Bo Consortium, seemed to be completely unconcerned about these.
She just sat there every day without saying a word. No one knew what she was thinking.
“Father, the company hasn’t been looking good recently…”
“You’re the person in charge of the company now. You have the final say in how the company operates. You don’t have to report everything to me. If I’m not around one day, won’t the company be buried with me?”
As usual, he reported the situation to the Old Master. In the end, the Old Master, who had not responded for many days, finally responded.
However, this response surprised Bo Yuelin.
The old master, who used to put the Bo Consortium first, now felt like he had to let go.
In just a few days, he had changed so much.
It seemed that his mother had really provoked him this time.
—
Bo Qifeng’s evasion did not end the matter temporarily. The court summons a week later forced him to face the matter that he had been avoiding for too long.
In the end, he went to Old Madam personally.
The two of them sat at their respective seats.
In just a few days, Bo Qifeng seemed to have aged a little. His face was visibly haggard, and he seemed to have lost some weight. His cheekbones were slightly protruding, and it was obvious compared to before.
Old Lady Bo glanced at him and pursed her lips. She picked up the glass of water and took a sip.
Time seemed to have passed in the living room. The old lady didn’t seem to have any intention of speaking.
Bo Qifeng looked at the white-haired old lady opposite him and said in his usual deep voice.
“You said that there’s no room for discussion, but what if I insist? Wei Li, from the moment I married you, I’ve never thought of divorcing you.”
The old lady smiled coldly. “So this is the reason why you’ve been doing whatever you want all these years? Are you sure that I won’t leave you? That I can only fight you to the death?”
“What do you have to discuss with me? Everyone in society is watching us as a joke. Whether we divorce or not, it’s a shameful thing. You can’t salvage your image. Instead of watching me by your side and reminding you of what happened today, why don’t you let me go? That way, I won’t disgust you from time to time.”
Old Master Bo pursed his lips. “Why do you have to provoke me with these words? I know what the situation is now. It’s equally embarrassing, but I choose not to get a divorce. Besides, this isn’t something you can decide on your own…”
“One-sided? Ha, you can even say something that can’t be resolved by one-sided? Ask yourself, what right do you have to convince me? Bo Qifeng, with your current attitude, every word you say is a slap to your face. Don’t you feel the pain?”
“I don’t have the right, but what do you think I have the right to say now? Too many things have happened recently. I know my reputation very well. You seem to think that I’m happy to see the current situation.”
Wei Li, you can’t deny that everything I’ve done in the past has good intentions. For the Bo Consortium and Jinchuan, why don’t you understand?”
The old lady looked up at him and gave a helpless and sarcastic laugh.
“Understand? You dare to say that you didn’t act on impulse in the end?”
Old Master Bo’s lips moved but he remained silent.
“How many years have you lived? Haven’t you lived enough? So much so that you have to let your children and grandchildren live according to your arrangements?”
The old lady stood up and said coldly,
“I don’t want to hear your so-called reasons and difficulties. I don’t want to understand and don’t understand! You have too many reasons. We don’t live as well as you do. I, Wei Li, am not worthy of you! That’s why you don’t have to compromise to be with an ignorant and selfish person like me! No matter what you say today, it won’t change my decision. Get lost!”
