He returned, his coat back on. Of course, he had co back out of respect for Elder He; there was no reason to leave an elder standing alone in the wind.
Elder He was a very straightforward person and said directly, "Junior Brother, I know what you’re thinking. But you also know my temper. If I don’t approve of soone, I won’t force it. If I did, it could ruin my own reputation."
Professor Gao sighed, "Senior Brother, can’t you give her a chance?"
Elder He chuckled, "If she had talent, she wouldn’t need this kind of chance."
Professor Gao was unconvinced. He genuinely thought highly of Shen Wanqing, so he was still unhappy.
Qin Siling felt the ti was right and took out a bag from the car, containing five hundred thousand in cash.
Elder He’s expression changed instantly. He completely ignored her, speaking only to Professor Gao, "Your sister-in-law is at ho. You’re rarely here, so let’s go have a drink together."
Professor Gao, having been rejected, was in a sour mood. He forced a smile and said, "Another day!"
Elder He didn’t press him. This Junior Brother of his was blinded by fa and fortune. He knew his intentions, but there was nothing to be done; his abilities were simply too limited.
After Elder He finished speaking, he turned to get into the car. Bo Xichen nodded at Professor Gao, then followed, opening the car door and getting in.
Before the car door was fully closed, Shen Wanqing caught a glimpse of Gu Anxi in the passenger seat, holding sothing and eating. The mont Professor Bo got into the car, he pinched her cheek... He seed to dote on her.
She hadn’t realized she’d murmured this aloud. Professor Gao, recalling sothing Elder He had once ntioned, said in a cold tone, "This is just so rich kid being swayed by a pretty face, that’s all! I heard that two years ago, the Bo Family’s future Family Head had a car accident on his way to et Luo Lin. And who is Luo Lin? A female painter. This just shows Professor Bo is fickle. How long has it been, and he’s already taken a liking to another young woman?"
Shen Wanqing’s heart suddenly began to pound furiously—
If this was true, then she might still have a chance! (She was indulging in such wishful thinking again!)
Qin Siling watched with cold detachnt, a sneer playing on her lips.
She took them back to the Yun Ding Hotel and told Qin Han what had transpired.
Qin Han mulled it over for a mont, then said in a low voice, "It’s confird now that Bo Xichen is the eldest legitimate son of the Bo Family. We also need to put so effort into Gu Anxi. Even if she doesn’t marry into the Bo Family, Bo Xichen seems quite taken with her right now."
At this, Qin Han had a mont of clarity. When it ca to n and won, wasn’t it always like this? What man wouldn’t be drawn to a girl as lovely as Gu Anxi?
He thought for another mont. "Alright then. We need to promote Wanqing. Also, do your utmost to acquire Luo Lin’s paintings. I’ve heard the Head of the Bo Family is particularly fond of Luo Lin’s work. When we visit, we can cater to his tastes. We absolutely must secure this connection. If that’s not enough, have your aunt put in so more effort."
Qin Siling couldn’t help but ask, "Dad, are we still going to acquire Bi Shui Yun Tian, then?"
A predatory gleam appeared in Qin Han’s eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Haven’t we been biding our ti for so long precisely to acquire Bi Shui Yun Tian? To talk about giving up now—what a joke! Say less of this in front of your aunt; she’s currently quite upset with ."
Qin Siling was sowhat surprised. "She still dares to be upset with you? She eats our family’s food, uses our family’s resources, and lives the life of a grand lady. How dare she throw a tantrum at you?"
Qin Han said, a little uncomfortably, "It was just that one ti I lost my temper and... well, I laid a hand on her. She’s been holding a grudge against ever since."
