Chapter 1428: In the Name of the Bo Family

Yi Qinghuan smiled, “I haven’t cooked in a long time, so I’m a bit rusty, but I know your tastes.

Luckily, it turned out alright.”

The Old Lady took a bite and then didn’t touch it again, “Now that you’re back, how long do you plan to stay?”

Yi Qinghuan’s expression dimmed, a hint of sorrow flickering in her eyes, “Just a few days, then I’ll have to leave.”

“Did Mr.

Yi and Mrs.

Yi come back as well?”

“Yes, my mom originally wanted to visit you too, but she caught a cold after getting drenched in the rain a few days ago.

She didn’t want to risk passing on the illness to you and sends her regards.”

“It’s been raining a lot recently, you need to be more careful with your health.

Later, take some medicinal herbs back for your mother, they’re not expensive but will help her recover.”

Yi Qinghuan wanted to refuse, but the Old Lady didn’t give her a chance to speak, blocking her words, leaving her no choice but to accept.

She was there to visit the Old Lady, bringing gifts was a junior’s duty.

However, the Old Lady’s returning gifts to her was merely a gesture of hospitality.

Although she felt uncomfortable inside, she didn’t dare show it on her face and had to express her gratitude.

“Old Madam, Third Young Master has returned.”

Auntie Wu led Bo Yanching inside.

Yi Qinghuan immediately turned her head to look.

He was wearing a suit; Friday was a workday.

He always looked better in a suit than others, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and an impressive demeanor, exuding an intimidating aura befitting someone in a high position.

Bo Yanching glanced over in this direction, causing Yi Qinghuan’s heart to skip a beat.

She quickly looked away and politely greeted, “Third Brother.”

Bo Yanching sat down on the sofa, holding Qianqian in his arms, his fingers gently smoothing her half-ponytail.

In a calm voice, he said, “Qianqian said you bought her the toy, thank you.”

“No need to be so formal with me, I like Qianqian too.”

Bo Yanching looked up, “Why did you come back to Rongcheng City?”

Yi Qinghuan’s face stiffened, and she secretly pinched her palm.

Back then, she had offended Nan Jiaojiao, relying on the childhood connection she had with Bo Yanching, among others, to openly and secretly make things difficult for Nan Jiaojiao.

She never expected Nan Jiaojiao to be so important to Bo Yanching, and with Lu Zhenzhen’s backing, during the banquet at Shengyue Mansion, she kept Nan Jiaojiao outside but was publicly reprimanded by Lu Zhenzhen.

After that, the socialites of Rongcheng City no longer dared to associate with her.

The Yi family’s business wasn’t in Rongcheng City, and Yi Qinghuan was a bit arrogant because of this.

But after Bo Yanching drove her out of Rongcheng City, she realized how ruthless this man could be.

Fortunately, he considered the two families’ reputation and didn’t make it public or suppress her further.

However, being questioned face-to-face still made Yi Qinghuan uneasy.

She nervously said, “It’s Qingming Festival, so I came back with my parents to pay respects to our ancestors.”

The Yi family’s businesses weren’t here, but their ancestral roots were.

The reason was entirely justified.

Bo Yanching nodded slightly, “Did your brother return as well?”

Yi Qinghuan’s face stiffened again, forcing a smile, “Yes, after visiting the grave, he went back.

The company can’t do without him.”

“Hmm.”

Bo Yanching lifted Qianqian up and switched her to another leg without looking at Yi Qinghuan, speaking to her, “Qianqian liked the toy you gave her very much.

Later, I will send you a gift on behalf of the Bo Family.”

On behalf of the Bo Family.

Yi Qinghuan was shocked!

The Old Lady regarded her as a guest; Bo Yanching also treated her as a guest, even more distantly than an ordinary one.

Her visit today was a complete humiliation for herself.

Yet she was unwilling to leave.

As long as she didn’t take the initiative to leave, no one would chase her away.

But Bo Yanching couldn’t be bothered to keep her company.

He handed Qianqian over to Auntie Wu and went up to the study on the second floor, refusing to let anyone disturb him.
