Chapter 1920: How Much Were You Involved

But Bo Yanching was excessively scrupulous, not to mention a girlfriend, he didn’t even have many close female friends. Over time, from her teenage years to when her heart first opened, Song Yuan focused all her attention on this one man. By the time the adults in her family had long forgotten about that, Song Yuan was already hopelessly obsessed with Bo Yanching.

The Song family, after all, was the girl’s family. It was Bo Li’s ex-wife, Bo Yanching’s biological mother, who jokingly agreed to the betrothal back then. After her death, neither side mentioned the marriage again, as it was just some idle banter at the time and not to be taken seriously.

Over the years, the Bo Family did not express a clear stance, and it was inappropriate for the Song family to take the initiative further. Besides, when Bo Yanching was young, he moved to Rongcheng City with the Old Madam. After they separated, the contact diminished. Later, Song Yuan went abroad to study. Upon graduation, she refused offers from various overseas companies and returned to the country, not to enter the business world but to dive into the entertainment industry.

Qiao Airu didn’t understand at first but supported her anyway. After all, the family had enough money to support Song Yuan for several lifetimes. Until a few years ago, Bo Yanching occasionally returned to the Capital City. They met at banquets or private gatherings of several families. Once, Song Yuan got drunk, and while Qiao Airu was looking after her, she heard Song Yuan’s drunken words.

“I’ve reached such heights, radiating brilliance. I’m a big celebrity now, third brother… can you see me?”

It turned out she entered the entertainment circle hoping Bo Yanching could see her.

How foolish.

Someone like Bo Yanching, why would he pay attention to which celebrity? If Song Yuan had explained her thoughts to the family at the beginning, they could have set her up with a company to practice, and one day she might have had the chance to engage with Bo Yanching in the business field. Relying on their childhood friendship, she might have become a woman who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him. But it was already too late. Song Yuan had forgotten most of what she learned in college. Now she could only be a glamorous celebrity with a wealthy background.

“Tell me honestly, how much were you involved in the car accident?”

Song Yuan’s eyelids twitched, “Mom, why are you asking that? I was a victim too.”

“There’s nobody else here; you’d better tell me the truth. If something really happens, and there’s a loose end, I can’t protect you!”

As Qiao Airu’s tone intensified, Song Yuan got frightened and confessed everything completely.

“You’re too bold!”

Qiao Airu slammed the half-peeled apple onto the bedside table, stood up with such a big movement that the chair was kicked back, making a piercing noise that startled Song Yuan into shrinking back.

Mr. Song opened the door, coming face to face with Qiao Airu who was coming out from inside, and was briefly stunned, “Why do you look like that? Is the child’s condition serious?”

Qiao Airu gathered her emotions and said gently, “She’s fine. I’m going to check if the food from the Imperial Garden has arrived; you stay here with our daughter.”

“There’s no need for you to go in person; besides, you’re not familiar with this place. Why are you wandering around so late?”

Before Mr. Song could finish speaking, Qiao Airu had already left. He frowned slightly but didn’t chase after her. He just left the door ajar and went to the bedside to pick up the apple.

“What’s wrong with your mom, taking her frustration out on an apple?”

The side of the apple that touched the table was crushed.

Song Yuan flickered her eyes, “Maybe mom is just too tired.”

“She came over as soon as she got the news and hasn’t closed her eyes since, so it’s possible.”

Mr. Song sat down, shaved off the bruised part of the apple, cut it into pieces, and put them on a plate. Unable to find a toothpick, he just handed it to Song Yuan like that.
