Too angry.
In the end, she thought about the possibility mentioned by Jian Dan, trembling all over. This was simply too terrifying, practically a nightmare. No way, how could she let the enemy have such a beautiful life? Her task was to keep him busy, busy to the point of flying, with no time to waste with her here.
That’s just right.
...
Lai Wei doesn’t live in the dormitory, and Jian Dan is preparing exchange student materials, so there’s no dormitory option. After applying to return home, following the fallout with Bo Qin, Bo Qin hasn’t appeared in the mansion for a long time, Jian Dan occasionally feels uneasy, but the consequences of being busy make her directly forget these trivial matters.
She starts getting busy with material preparation and TOEFL exams.
Already preparing financially, she calculated the expenses needed for her life. The exchange student tuition is free, but there’s no dormitory at the school, and she has to live in someone else’s home, expenses for meals and such, and the exchange rate issue, are quite substantial.
The money her dad left for her, going for a two-year exchange certainly isn’t a problem, but once this money is used up, she’ll be very miserable in the future.
However, thinking about it, she feels solving the immediate predicament is more important, so she quickly decides on her plan.
...
"What’s wrong with you, coming here every day? It was so hard to get you to come back for a meal before, and now you come back every day by yourself. Are you possessed?" For several consecutive days, having meals at the old mansion and looking in a bad mood, Bo Qin’s mother sarcastically remarks about her son.
Bo Qin looks resentfully at his mother, saying lightly, "Mom, I’m your son, I think me coming back for a meal shouldn’t make you so unhappy."
Bo Qin’s mother gives him a pat, "You come here for meals, yet you leave Little Jian Dan behind, having her eating alone. You’re really heartless, raising you up like this. Do you even have the nerve to say you’ve raised a child? I really don’t know what to say to you, feels like you kind of lower my IQ."
Bo Qin: "..."
Setting aside who’s lowering whose IQ, Bo Qin thinks it’s fortunate he didn’t inherit his mother’s IQ.
He chooses not to speak, for fear that the more he says, the more wrong it will be. Bo Qin’s mother sighs, "That day, taking Little Jian Dan shopping, I just really liked her, such a sensible and well-behaved little girl, not to mention, you bunch of boys have never given me this kind of feeling, really, don’t even know what use is in raising you all."
"Aunt, you can’t say that, I can still be filial and lovable to everyone." Bo San comes over, cheerfully starting his nonsense, amusing Bo Qin’s mother, sitting down next to Bo Qin, "Big Brother, you’re acting really strange recently, are you in a bad mood?
It’s not right; no one’s daring to provoke you at the company, why are you unhappy? Lost money? No problem, I have money, I’ll give you, how much do you need?"
Bo Qin gives a cold glare, Bo San rubs his nose, moves farther away, "Turns out you didn’t lose money, then I’ll pretend I didn’t say anything, can’t keep my mouth shut, Big Brother don’t mind me, but I’ve heard recently you’ve been running Bo Company quite well, everyone praises it non-stop, where did this issue come from, shall I help you get rid of it?"
Bo Qin’s gaze grows even colder.
Bo San decreases his presence, "Did I say something wrong again?"
"Go away, thanks."
Bo San stands up, "Alright, I’ll leave then, it seems like, with you acting like this, nobody likes you anymore, foul temper, not even sparing your own brother."
Bo Qin: "..."
If not for the distance, he would have surely kicked him.
Bo San walks to the Flower Hall where the elders are chatting, clicking his tongue, "Dear elders, I’ve discovered a big thing; I think Big Brother might have been dumped, probably that’s why he’s in a bad mood recently, in my experienced opinion, it’s most likely true."
Bo Granny looks at Bo San’s expression, snorts, "You? Experienced? Do you even dare to say that? Ever brought anyone back for us to meet? Has anyone ever agreed with you saying that?"
A series of questions thrown out, Bo San’s face changes several times, feeling helpless yet amused, "Granny, cut me some slack, do I not deserve any dignity?"
Though he doesn’t feel embarrassed, if others are embarrassed, he wouldn’t care, but if it’s his own family, they wouldn’t feel embarrassed, then it’s him who gets embarrassed.
Bo Granny, "So you and Big Brother, neither is better than the other, none to laugh at another, neither better off than the other, all be quiet at the side, got no time to chit-chat with you, busy now."
Seeing the elders gathered around the table playing elderly Mahjong completely with no skill involved, Bo San gives up struggling, clutching his heart as he walks out, "Poor little cabbage, withered in the field..."
