Chapter 473: In What Way Did You Intervene

“How about this, Qianqian is about to start kindergarten.

Let her stay here for school, and I’ll take care of her,” the Old Lady suggested airily, as if making idle conversation.

Bo Shuxian didn’t think elsewhere, he indeed traveled often for work, rarely returning here, and Zhou Zining was also busy with her job.

He had long thought about bringing Qianqian over for the Old Lady to take care of, which would also serve to cherish his presence.

But before he could agree, Zhou Zining suddenly became agitated, “No, Qianqian can’t stay here!”

“Zining?” Bo Shuxian pulled her back, and Zhou Zining glared at him angrily.

The Old Lady frowned and retorted, “What do you mean?

Would I harm Qianqian?”

Zhou Zining’s heart skipped a beat, and her expression became unnatural, “Qianqian is still young, she might disturb you.

It’s better if I take care of her for a few more years.”

The Old Lady snorted coldly, “You take care of her?

Hasn’t Aunt Chen always been the one looking after Qianqian?

Where have you been involved?”

“I…”

“Enough, if this gets out, others might think I’m some formidable Old Lady which I don’t intend to be.

I don’t want to meddle in you young people’s affairs,” said the Old Lady as she stood up, “Just one thing—if Qianqian ever feels aggrieved and wants to come to me, none of you are to stop her.”

“Auntie Wu, take me back to my room.

I am tired,”

Auntie Wu immediately came over and supported the Old Lady as they walked away,

leaving no opportunity for anyone to object.

Bo Shuxian watched in surprise as the Old Lady walked away.

She didn’t use a walking stick, and although her legs were still frail and her pace slow, each step was steady without any noticeable limp.

“Grandma’s legs are better?”

Bo Yanching, “Much better now, she gets acupuncture regularly, and she often visits Elder Jiang in Mist Garden for chess.”

“That’s good news, thanks to Elder Jiang.

Did you thank him, brother?

I have a few paintings; help me deliver them to Elder Jiang.”

Bo Yanching spoke softly, “Elder Jiang doesn’t care for paintings but medicines.

If you find some rare herbs, you can send those instead.”

With that, he stood up, taking a food box from a servant’s hand.

This was brought by Nan Jiaojiao at noon, especially kept aside for the Old Lady.

After sending off Nan Jiaojiao, Bo Yanching took the opportunity to return to the Bo Residence, as he needed to pick up some documents from the study.

While leaving, he only spoke to Bo Shuxian.

From start to finish, Bo Yanching had ignored Zhou Zining.

This made her very unwilling, as she bit her lip hard, staring openly at the man’s receding figure.

When Bo Shuxian turned to look at her, Zhou Zining timely bowed her head, concealing the jealousy in her eyes.

Feigning grievance, she said, “Shuxian, do you also think I shouldn’t have contradicted Grandma?”

Bo Shuxian took her hand, placed it on his leg, and covered it with the wide sleeve of his down jacket, “You can’t bear to part with Qianqian, and neither can I, but we are both too busy.

It’s better for her to stay here with Grandma, and with Brother’s help in looking after her, why wouldn’t you agree?”

Zhou Zining shook her head while crying, “She’s my daughter, my only daughter, you know.

My work is in Capital City, and I can’t bear to be away from Qianqian for long.”

Her crying made Bo Shuxian dare not persuade further, compassionately drawing her into his embrace, “Alright, let’s not talk about it anymore.

When we leave, we’ll take Qianqian with us.

We can discuss this again in a few years.”

Zhou Zining paused her crying, “Leave?

When?”

“Not for a while.

The ancient tomb we’ve discovered this time is quite large, filled with many precious calligraphies and burial artifacts.

It won’t conclude in just two or three months.

If I can’t catch up with the end of your vacation, you go ahead and take Qianqian back to the Capital City and wait for me.”
