Bo Jingyu's sharp eyes stared straight at Ruo Chi.
He was afraid of nothing in the world, except being blamed by the Second Master without knowing the situation.
He lowered his head and twiddled his fingers, not daring to utter a single sound.
"Mr. Li, why are you standing there? Come and sit down."
Bo Jingming still had a smile on his face, but there was always a creepy feeling.
"Okay, okay. Thank you, in - law."
Li Rui sat uneasily on the outermost side.
The words "in - law" sounded quite uncomfortable to Bo Jingyu's ears.
Did he really think highly of himself?
If it weren't for Bo Yanhai's instructions before he fell into a coma, Bo Jingyu would never have had much contact with Li Xiaoru, let alone getting engaged to her.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
He didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"Um... this..."
Li Rui obviously felt embarrassed. He thought he had rushed here today because they wanted to use Bo Jingyu's connections to help out in an emergency. He didn't expect there to be a bunch of people around.
How could he have the nerve to speak up under everyone's noses?
Because Shen Ximan had just rejected the email, Bo Jingyu was not in a very good mood. He glanced at his watch and asked directly, "If you have something to say, please be quick. I still have a lot of work to handle personally later."
"Jingyu is right. Don't waste his time."
Bo Jingming took the opportunity to watch the show.
He knew that Bo Jingyu had a lot of thoughts and must be speculating about something.
"Xiaoyu and Xiaochen got into some trouble, so..."
Li Rui was sitting on pins and needles, with sweat all over his forehead. "Can you help?"
"What kind of trouble?" Bo Jingyu squinted his eyes.
"You know these leaders very well. They not only exploit their employees but also want to pin unfounded charges on Xiaoyu! That's right. He was inexplicably fired."
He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his forehead. "As for Xiaochen, his friends forced him to drink a lot of wine and then insisted that he drive. He accidentally hit a pregnant woman, and the compensation issue hasn't been settled yet."
Bo Jingming's usually calm face became even calmer.
There was no doubt that the Li family regarded the Bo family as an ATM.
It was obvious that they either wanted money or for the Bo family to step in and solve the problems.
How shameless.
"How much do you want?" Bo Jingyu said coldly.
Li Rui was stunned. "Ah? You've misunderstood me!"
"I'm not in charge of coming forward to settle this kind of thing. Just tell me the amount directly."
Bo Jingyu took out a check with a straight face and held a pen, waiting for a response.
"This..."
Bo Jingyu frowned unhappily. "Do I need to set the amount for you?"
Li Rui suddenly stood up and shook his head like a rattle.
"No, no, no. Five million will do. Five million is enough!"
"Five million?" Bo Jingming said in surprise, crossing his legs. His superior aura was quite imposing. "Is this a loan or a gift?"
"A loan! It must be a loan!"
"Okay, then press your fingerprint on the back of the check."
Li Rui was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly, "In - law, this is a bit inappropriate, isn't it? What's our relationship? Do we still need to press a fingerprint?"
Bang!
Bo Jingming slapped the table. The vase on it vibrated and made a sound.
"Even brothers should settle accounts clearly, let alone what's our relationship?"
Bo Jingyu felt as if he had suddenly returned to his childhood.
When he was fighting with other kids, Bo Jingming would always stare at those kids and scare them away. Then he would pick him up and comfort him gently.
Since his mother passed away, he hadn't felt like this for many years.
"Jingyu is just engaged to your daughter. According to the law, they are not a couple yet! Please correct your thinking and don't mislead the next generation." Bo Jingming said each word forcefully.
Li Rui didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
It was really a case of "the bigger the forest, the more kinds of birds there are".
They even dared to take advantage of the Bo family.
"May I interrupt?" Ruo Chi stepped forward to break the current deadlock.
Bo Jingyu remained silent, giving his approval and signaling him to continue.
"How about asking Mr. Li to repay the loan in installments with normal interest? This interest may be a bit lower than that of the bank, but it's purely out of respect for the old master and the Second Master. It's a special approval. What do you think?"
Li Rui wished he could slap him. Why was he always butting in!
"I think it's appropriate," Bo Jingming said before Li Rui could respond. "Mr. Li, do you have any objections?"
"No, no."
Bo Jingyu quickly wrote out the check and personally watched Li Rui press his fingerprint on it. Then he opened the door to see him off. "Mr. Li, I still have official business to attend to. I'll ask my assistant to take you downstairs. If there's nothing particularly important in the near future, it's better not to 'visit'."
"Okay, okay. I definitely won't. In - law, I'll take my leave first. Let's have a drink together when we have time!"
Bo Jingming didn't even bother to get up and just nodded perfunctorily.
After the farce was over, Bo Jingyu silently returned to his post and got busy.
"Aren't you going to pour me a cup of tea?"
"The tea room is next door. You can choose whatever you like."
Bo Jingming smiled bitterly. "You're still as stubborn and naughty as you were when you were a child. You've grown older but not wiser."
"Then what kind of person do you think I should be?" Bo Jingyu looked up expressionlessly. "Or rather, I shouldn't have existed at all."
"Are you sure you want to talk to me in this sarcastic tone?"
The originally gentle aura around him instantly froze at this moment.
"You came here today because you had something to talk to me about, right? Just say it straight."
He didn't want to discuss the past with him anymore. It would only add annoyance and hatred and couldn't play any role in easing the relationship.
Bo Jingming wasn't a fool. He knew this was an opportunity to step down.
He wasn't angry either and accepted it gracefully.
"I'm going to transfer your grandfather to a hospital abroad."
Bo Jingyu paused for a moment and then quickly got back to work.
"Why?"
"The medical equipment abroad is more advanced than that in China. It's better to transfer him there earlier for treatment. I've already talked to Siming about this, and he's reasonable enough to agree."
On the surface, he was calm, but inside, his heart was in a complete mess.
Bo Jingyu always thought it was his fault that his grandfather had become like this. If time could turn back, he would never allow this to happen.
Nor would he have any connection with Shen Ximan.
Now that his father said he was going to transfer his grandfather to a hospital abroad, he locked himself in a cage again because of self - blame and the inability to accompany his grandfather, with chains of pressure weighing on him layer by layer.
"You don't agree?"
Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Bo Jingming asked.
"The medical skills abroad aren't necessarily that good."
Bo Jingyu was typing away at the computer, replying to emails.
The headache problem that had troubled him since childhood had continued to the present. Moreover, as he grew older, it became more and more frequent and difficult to control.
He had seen many doctors and professors abroad, but it was of no use.
On the contrary, Shen Ximan's simple methods had alleviated most of this problem.
"Think about this. I don't need you to make a decision now."
Bo Jingming stood up. Just as he put his hand on the doorknob, he turned his head and said, "Don't let that girl, Shen Ximan, affect your whole life. There's still a possibility of improvement for your grandfather's current condition, but there are more than one or two people lurking in the dark."
