Bo Siming clenched his fists and replied, "I got it."
Bo Jingming didn't think it appropriate to stay any longer, so he left.
With a bang!
The file folders on the table were swept to the ground.
"Preaching as if he's so great! He didn't even fulfill his responsibility as a father, yet he has the nerve to lecture me!" Bo Siming huffed angrily.
"Ask me to discuss things with the executioner who killed my mother? And be a family? It's an absolute joke! I wish I didn't have the Bo surname. I wish I didn't have such relatives who try to make peace after the fact!"
His teeth gritted with hatred.
"Just you wait. I'll surely get rid of the Bo family completely one day."
At Yancheng Toy City, An Ruo was building blocks glumly, not uttering a single word.
"Miss An, you seem to be in a bad mood today. What's wrong?" A Kun, who was guarding beside her, asked with concern.
"How can you be happy if you're abandoned by your dearest one?"
"Mr. Shen has already explained to you that he's on a business trip for a few days."
An Ruo pushed down the blocks all at once and argued with hands on her hips.
"Don't use such formal address. It sounds so awkward!"
"I'm An Ruo. I have my own name!"
A Kun had a black line across his face. It seemed this little girl was quite stubborn.
"Okay, okay. I'll call you An Ruo from now on."
She was irritated by his perfunctory attitude. Fuming, she turned around and rushed into the inflatable slide. Her pouting lips never flattened.
"Oh my! Taking care of a child is really a tough task." A Kun wiped the sweat off his forehead and hurriedly followed her.
"Get out of my way! You're blocking me!" A short but fat and sturdy little boy climbed onto the slide domineeringly and pushed An Ruo aside. His tone was extremely rude.
"I was here first!" An Ruo was already in a bad mood. Being pushed like this, she felt so wronged that her voice was on the verge of crying.
"I'm the boss here. What I say goes!"
The boy raised his chubby little arm, about to hit someone, but A Kun grabbed him by the back of his collar and threw him onto the cushion.
"Who gave you the nerve to bully our Miss An?"
Well, the boy didn't cry, but An Ruo burst into tears.
"Waaaaaah!"
A Kun and the little boy were completely dumbfounded.
Hearing the commotion, the administrator immediately trotted over to find out what was going on.
The little boy's grandma also rushed over to argue.
"Oh my! How dare you bully someone! You're a young lad. How can you bully my Xiaohu? It's just...unjust..."
She stood there like a wooden chicken, looking at the scene in front of her.
It was the little girl who was crying, not her precious Xiaohu.
An Ruo got off the slide aggrievedly. With her short legs, she quickly rushed out of the playground without looking back.
"Miss An! Miss An!" A Kun was so anxious that he jumped up and down.
Thankfully, the administrator was quick - witted and caught her. Otherwise, in such a crowded place, if she was abducted by human traffickers, the administrator couldn't bear the responsibility.
"Waaaaah, I...I want sister!"
An Ruo was crying so hard that she could hardly catch her breath. She looked extremely uncomfortable.
"Mr. Shen is on a business trip. He'll be back soon."
"He snatched the slide from me!"
"I've already taught him a lesson. I'll make him apologize to you."
After saying that, A Kun cast a glare at the boy.
"Come here!"
Xiaohu's grandma had just gossiped with the administrator and learned that this little girl and the young man had noble identities. She immediately urged her grandson to apologize.
"What are you standing there for? Go quickly."
Xiaohu also knew he had done something wrong. Pouting, he walked over slowly and mumbled feebly, "Sorry."
"Say it properly! Be more sincere!"
Tears still hanging on the corners of her eyes, An Ruo sobbed and shouted at him.
"Sorry!" Xiaohu replied loudly and clearly.
"Let's just end this matter here. I won't pursue it further, but I hope there won't be such things in the future."
A Kun picked An Ruo up in his arms and said seriously to the administrator.
"Don't worry. We'll definitely make improvements!"
On the way back in the car, An Ruo was still in a bad mood.
"Brother Kun, I want the phone."
"Okay. Wait a minute while I unlock it."
After getting the phone, she called Shen Ximan.
But no one answered for a long time.
Seeing An Ruo's expression on the verge of crying, A Kun became anxious again.
He quickly took out a chocolate - flavored biscuit from the storage box and fed it to her.
This finally stopped her sobbing.
Halfway through the journey, the fuel gauge indicated that the car was running out of gas.
"An Ruo, stay here obediently. I'll be back soon."
After giving the order, A Kun parked the car at the gas station and got out to refuel.
She sat there in a daze. Suddenly, she thought of a phone number.
At the villa in Xijiao Sea, An Ruo was worried that her sister might recall past sad events, so she had never contacted Bo Jingyu privately.
But now, the feeling of loneliness and helplessness came over her. She felt so insecure that she just wanted to find someone to cry on their shoulder.
Before her mind could react, the phone was already dialed.
An Ruo knew these numbers backwards.
Bo Jingyu had just arrived at the underground parking lot of Yancheng Hospital when he received a strange call. He hesitated for a long time before answering it.
"Hello?"
"Waaaaah, brother!"
His pupils dilated. His other hand on the steering wheel froze.
Goosebumps instantly covered his whole body.
He would never forget this voice.
Even though he hated Shen Ximan and had been in a fierce struggle with her, he would never lay a finger on An Ruo.
After all, she was the softest part of Bo Jingyu's heart.
"Why are you crying?"
He tried to hold back his emotions and keep his voice calm and steady.
An Ruo held the big - as - a - brick phone with both hands and cried pitifully.
"Sister...sister, waaaaah...doesn't want me anymore."
Bo Jingyu was momentarily speechless. Then he put on a gentle smile and comforted her.
"How could that be? She must be busy with something and didn't have time to answer."
"She just doesn't want me anymore! Waaaaah. She didn't answer my call."
Hearing the loud crying on the other end of the phone, he felt extremely heart - broken.
"Where are you?"
An Ruo stared blankly out of the car window. "Brother Kun is refueling. I don't know where this is. Brother, come and pick me up."
Bo Jingyu wished he could drive there at full speed right now.
But both morally and rationally, he couldn't do anything to let down his brother.
"Let Ruochi go and pick you up, okay? I'm still a bit busy now."
An Ruo had developed an understanding personality under Shen Ximan's high - intensity work. Naturally, she understood Bo Jingyu's difficulties.
"Okay. Hurry up."
After hanging up the phone, he smiled at the screen.
The knot in his heart instantly untied, as if the sun had come out after the clouds.
Immediately afterwards, Bo Jingyu called Ruochi.
"Check the current IP address of this phone number. Bring An Ruo to the hospital. Be quick. Tell them I made the call myself. If there are any objections, they can come to me in person to ask for her."
