Chapter 273: Serves Him Right to Be Single

Old Lady Bo chuckled softly, “How could your Brother Yanqing possibly come?”

“But I’m already like this!”

“Does your condition have anything to do with him?”

Kang Xiangyue was rebuffed twice in a row, and yet the other party spoke with a smile, making her face turn red with embarrassment, “How could it not?”

The smile on Old Lady Bo’s face faded a bit as she pulled Kang Xiangyue over.

Without seeming to exert much effort, she actually pulled Kang Xiangyue in, and instead of supporting her, she pretended to embrace her back while pressing her firmly against the armrest of the wheelchair.

In a voice that only the two of them could hear, she said, “You’ve fallen to this state purely out of your own doing, don’t try to pin your faults on others.

My Xiao San doesn’t owe you anything.

Here you are, feigning illness, making things difficult for you, but even if you keep up this act until next year, my Xiao San will still consider you as nothing.

Who are you trying to impress with this act?”

Kang Xiangyue’s eyes widened in shock, and she abruptly looked up, only to see Old Lady Bo’s affectionate face, even teary-eyed with genuine concern.

It was as if the cold and harsh words she had just heard were merely a recording played next to her ear.

“Look at this pitiful little face, it really tugs at the heartstrings.”

Old Lady Bo gently patted Kang Xiangyue’s cheek, her eyes gleaming shrewdly, but her expression was as loving as could be.

Old Lady Kang was somewhat moved as well, “It’s tough on you to come specifically to see her.

This child is just stubborn, she won’t listen to anyone.”

“It’s nothing tough, don’t mention it, your child is just like my own.”

Old Lady Bo released her hand, “I have some symptoms of a cold, I won’t stay here much longer to avoid passing the sickness to Xiangyue.”

“Then alright, let me see you out.”

Auntie Wu pushed the wheelchair, and Old Lady Kang followed beside them to the door, exchanging a few more personal words.

As soon as the door to the sickroom closed, hysterical screams and the sound of something shattering burst from inside.

Auntie Wu chuckled, “With your personal intervention, Miss Kang will no longer dare to bother us even if she has the thickest face.”

Old Lady Bo sneered coldly, “Her caliber is simply not enough, easily intimidated.”

She had weathered many storms over the decades, and there was nothing she hadn’t seen.

Kang Xiangyue’s little schemes were as transparent as glass in her eyes.

Although Old Lady Bo had not asked, the growing distance between Bo Yanching and Nan Jiaojiao was likely due to Kang Xiangyue.

To cut weeds, one must remove the roots; it made no sense to let the issue drag on and allow someone to keep bothering them.

He deserved to remain single!

Nan Jiaojiao hurried in, and upon seeing Old Lady Bo in the lobby on the first floor, she immediately went over and bent down to inquire, “Grandma, what’s making you uncomfortable?”

Old Lady Bo leaned against the wheelchair, rubbing her forehead, and sighed heavily, “I don’t know, I just feel a tightness in my chest, and I can hardly breathe.”

“Let me check on you.”

Nan Jiaojiao took hold of the armrest, pulled Old Lady Bo’s hand onto her own arm, and prepared to check her pulse with her other hand.

A flash of guilt crossed the depths of Old Lady Bo’s eyes, and in a panic, she sought help from Auntie Wu with her eyes, having forgotten that Nan Jiaojiao was a doctor; this pulse check could reveal everything.

Of all things to pretend, why pretend to be sick?

“Ahem, Jiaojiao, uh, actually Grandma…”

“Old Madam, I have brought your medicine over,”

At that moment, Han Chuan came over carrying a bag of medicine.

Nan Jiaojiao glanced at it, “Caught a cold?”

“Ah?” Old Lady Bo looked bewildered.

“You have some symptoms of a cold; I just heard you cough.”

Nan Jiaojiao took the medicine from Han Chuan’s hands and sorted through it.
