Chapter 570: 279 Fear (First Revision)
When it comes to acting spoiled, Bai Ziyan ranks second in Chunxi Court, and no one dares to claim the first place.
With just a few words, he coaxed Granny Bo to the point where she couldnât close her mouth, as she hugged him and called him her good grandson.
âGranny, itâs not that I donât want to visit you, but my big brother... he treats me like a prisoner and doesnât let me go out at all. I want to, but I canât,â Bai Ziyan complained as he glared at Bai Ziyu.
Bai Ziyu ground his teeth, his gaze full of threats as he stared at Bai Ziyan.
Bai Ziyan shrank his shoulders. Granny Bo immediately hugged him and kindly advised, âLittle Bai, your big brother is so busy with work and still has to take care of you. Heâs not having an easy time either. You should show more understanding and not hold a grudge against him, alright?â
Bai Ziyanâs face fell: âI understand, Granny Bo.â
âI remember you kids formed a small group, what was it called?â
Bai Ziyan quickly replied, âStrike Team. Iâm the captain,â he said proudly, thumping his chest.
âHave the others come? Let me see them,â Granny Bo said.
Song Yinzhang approached with a smile, âHello, Granny Bo. Iâm Song Yinzhang.â
âGood boy, youâve always been a good student, obedient and sensible. Your mother is blessed to have such an outstanding son,â Granny Bo praised.
âI remember a kid who sings really well and is very talented. Is he here?â
âGranny, you must be talking about Xiao Fei. Heâs a big star now and very busy, so he canât make it. But he asked me to give you his regards,â Bai Ziyan explained.
âHeâs a big star now? Will I have to pay to listen to him sing in the future?â
âNot at all, Granny. As long as you want to listen, heâll sing for you for free every day.â
âJiang Jinchen is studying at Huaqing University in Jiangzhou and is too busy with his studies to come. He said he will visit you when he has time.â
When talking about Qu Feitai, Granny Bo was still smiling. But when mentioned Jiang Jinchen, her smile slightly faded. However, she managed to hold her composure so that no one knew.
âTheyâve all grown up into young men. Itâs wonderful,â Granny Bo sighed.
âUncle Bo, Aunt Bo, happy birthday!â Bai Ziyan looked at the couple standing behind Granny Bo with a big grin.
Upon seeing Bo Yuxun, Bai Ziyan subconsciously paused for a moment.
His memory of Bo Yuxun was already very blurry. After all, he was just a few years old when Bo Yuxun went abroad. As he grew up, he always heard people around him praising Bo Yuxunâs greatness, but he couldnât recall his appearance clearly.
Bai Ziyuâs face suddenly darkened, and Qin Qiuxi felt a chill on her neck, drew her shawl tighter, and closed her mouth.
The group of people moved to Huichun Hall.
Bo Yuxun pushed the wheelchair behind, and the red lanterns under the eaves swayed in the night wind. The spotty shadows cast on the manâs face, as Bo Yujiang glanced back inadvertently, the manâs deep black eyes were colder and heartless than the boundless night behind him. There was something more than when she first met him.
Unconsciously, Bo Yujiang clenched her fist slightly, it was something terrifying.
It was as if there was a beast lurking in the darkness, waiting for her to reveal a flaw and then pounce on her and tear her apart.
A cold wind swept through the eaves, bringing a faint plum fragrance. The red candle above flickered, enchanting and antique, like a grand and prosperous dream.
Bo Yujiang suddenly shuddered.
Was it because the night wind was too cold, or was she wearing too thin?
It felt like a piece of jade was attached to her back, cold as ice.
The man only glanced at her before turning his gaze away. Bo Yujiang was about to speak when someone in the courtyard shouted, âMr. Liu is here.â
A gentle smile appeared on Bo Yujiangâs lips, and she turned to see a man in a tailored suit striding over.
Bai Weining exclaimed, âHeâs Aunt Boâs fianceÌ! He looks like a talented young man.â
Bo Lianye curled her lips, âMr. Liu has always been. He is the youngest professor at Huaqing University, and his elegance is only matched by my uncle.â
Bai Weining laughed, âIt seems all the good men were born in your Bo family. Iâm so envious.â
Bo Lianye raised her eyebrows proudly, âYou can just keep envying.â
Liu Xiangyue strode into the corridor, his every movement full of gentlemanly grace, âIâm sorry Auntie, Iâm late.â
Granny Bo smiled and said, âWe are all family, donât be so polite. I know youâre busy at school. Letâs go, take a seat.â
Liu Xiangyue looked at Bo Yuxun, his attitude neither overly warm nor overly cold, just right, âSecond Brother, I am Xiangyue, A Jiangâs fianceÌ.â
Bo Yujiang naturally hooked her arm around Liu Xiangyueâs.
Bo Yuxun took a light look at Liu Xiangyue, nodded slightly, and pushed Granny Boâs wheelchair away.
Liu Xiangyue stared at Bo Yuxunâs back and frowned, âA Jiang, does Second Brother not like me?â
Bo Yujiang stood on tiptoes to fix his collar, her manner naturally affectionate, and smiled, âSecond Brother is just like this, itâs not just for you. Youâll get used to it later.â
Her voice was slightly cold, and her eyes were without a shred of warmth.
