Chapter 1285

The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at Bo Sichen deeply, as if he was trying to pry into his true thoughts.

He didn’t believe that even if he could give up the inheritance of the Bo Consortium back then, he wouldn’t be willing to see his son give up like this.

“All these years, Jingchuan has spent all his time and energy on the Bo Consortium. The company has always been on the rise in his hands. This is something that everyone has seen. He’s a natural leader and needs a place like the Bo Consortium to succeed him. Si Chen, as a father, don’t you feel regretful?”

The old man chuckled. How was that possible?

He was just playing tricks on her.

He thought that if they didn’t care, he would feel that this matter posed no threat to Jingchuan and give up on this method to force him to compromise.

However, Bo Sichen smiled faintly and said, “The company is developing under his leadership. You also acknowledge that he’s a natural leader and operator. You also know that he has contributed a lot to the company… There are both contributions and hard work. Since you’re his grandfather and know him so well, don’t you think it’s too much to threaten him with these things?”

“I’m doing this for the good of the company!”

The Old Master had always known that Bo Sichen’s mind was clear and organized. From his words, he knew that he was using the same reason to stop him.

“Do you want him to be like you, willing to do anything for a woman?! His ears have gone soft from the woman’s words every day. The company will be ruined by him sooner or later!”

Lou Ruoyi’s eyelids twitched. She wanted to quarrel with the old man again.

Was she trying to tell Bo Sichen that she was ruining the company?

Was she crazy? Was she thinking that her husband’s company would go bankrupt soon?

This old man was seriously ill!

What kind of rotten mud was in her head to be in such a state?!

Just as she was about to flare up, she saw Madam Chen holding a teapot and watching the situation in the living room.

Anger rushed to her head.

She had yet to settle the score with her!

He had tolerated her for so long!

“Is it fun?” Lou Ruoyi looked straight at Madam Chen and asked coldly.

Because of Lou Ruoyi’s sudden voice, the two men on the sofa slowly looked at Madam Chen.

Madam Chen’s expression turned cold as she forced a stiff and ugly smile. She walked forward and bent to pour two cups of tea.

She pushed the glass to the Old Master and gave it to Bo Sichen and Lou Ruoyi.

However, when she pushed it to Lou Ruoyi, Lou Ruoyi reached out to stop her.

Madam Chen’s heart skipped a beat. She looked at Lou Ruoyi and smiled. “Madam, don’t you like tea?”

Lou Ruoyi raised an eyebrow. “You’re asking me?”

“…” Madam Chen was confused.

“Aren’t you fighting with Auntie Zhang for the position of the head of the family? You don’t even know the master’s preferences. What right do you have to fight with Auntie Zhang?”

Madam Chen bit her lips and her face flushed red. She couldn’t help but look at Old Master Chen awkwardly.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Old Master frowned and said coldly,

“You only know about other people’s troubles when you’re home?”

Lou Ruoyi stood up from the sofa and said, “Dad, it’s my business to ask the servants to do their job well. Just like how I’ve never participated in the discussion of the company, I hope you can respect me!”

“Mother Chen has gone through the motions because of your protection time and time again. You’re using your power to intimidate others at home!

How many times had she participated in things that shouldn’t belong to her? In the past, I tolerated her once or twice because of you, but I couldn’t tolerate her.

Where should I go to report to her? She didn’t like the woman Jinchuan wanted to be with. Those who didn’t know would think that the mistress of the house was never Mom or me, but her!

But was she? She had just arrived in Ping Cheng City and she was already causing trouble for me. She called herself a servant in front of me. What did she mean by that?

She was helping others and spreading rumors everywhere!

Why should I tolerate her?

No matter what, I’m the wife of the Bo family. When did the wife of the Bo family become so cowardly that she had to listen to a servant?

Old Master Bo’s face darkened at Lou Ruoyi’s words.

“Who asked you to listen to the servants?” No matter how much she disliked her, she was now known as the wife of the Bo family. If others knew that the wife of the Bo family had to listen to the servants, wouldn’t she be treated as a huge joke?

“But Madam Chen is in the Bo family, relying on your ‘doting’ on her. She’s domineering and no one dares to provoke her! Every time in the past, it wasn’t like this. I didn’t even scold her much before you scolded me. When has she not been arrogant? You can ask the servants in the family if they listen to me or Madam Chen! If you admit now that Madam Chen is the mistress of the family and is above me, then… Ha, I’ll tell Mother what you mean so that she can take the initiative to give up her position to Madam Chen!”

Madam Chen was so frightened that she almost knelt on the ground. Her face was pale. “Madam, you…”

The old man’s face darkened again, alternating between red and green.

“How dare you! What nonsense are you spouting?!”

“Am I spouting nonsense? Mom hasn’t been by your side all these years. Hasn’t she always been the one managing the family? Coupled with your protection of her, that’s what you mean, right?”

Lou Ruoyi was fearless, as though she was provoking the Old Master.

The old man glared at her angrily. “Shut up!”

Lou Ruoyi frowned and said, “Seeing how angry you are, I must have misunderstood you. Since we’ve already made things clear, I just want to hear Old Master’s opinion. Am I qualified to manage the servants at home?”

Old Master’s face turned green, white, and red. He was embarrassed by this woman’s words.

But after saying so much, if he were to interfere now, wouldn’t he be admitting that he had an improper relationship with Mother Chen?

“Stay away from me!”

Everyone understood what he meant. It was up to her to lecture him, but she shouldn’t hang around in front of him.

Lou Ruoyi smiled and said, “Okay. I’m not interested in what you’re talking about.”

Madam Chen, who was standing at the side, turned pale and almost fell to the ground.

She looked up at Lou Ruoyi, who was sneering at her, and suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

[There’s another one later.]
