Chapter 604: So What if I'm Robbing You Openly

“Fourth Young Master?”

Auntie Wu glanced inside, “Are you here to see Old Lady Bo?”

“Yes, I have some things I need to discuss with Grandma.”

Auntie Wu nodded, stepped aside to let Bo Shuxian enter and then quietly shut the door behind him after he walked in.

The room was very quiet, with only one window half open, directly facing the direction of the lounging chair.

Bo Shuxian walked over to close the window a little more, then returned to the chair, crouched down, and gently took hold of Old Lady’s hand.

“Grandma, I know you’re not asleep.”

Old Lady Bo opened her eyes, looked him up and down, and let out a laugh, “Not bad, you handled it quite rationally, I don’t see any scratch marks on your face or neck.”

Bo Shuxian paused for a moment, then shook his head helplessly.

Where did her thoughts wander off to?

How could there have been a fight?

Even if Zhou Zining was emotional and wanted to do something to him, he wouldn’t retaliate out of gentlemanliness, but getting injured over such a matter was unnecessary.

“Grandma, I mentioned divorce to Zining, and I’m going to call our lawyer to come over.

If things go fast, it could happen in the next couple of days.”

Old Lady Bo’s brow twitched, “Have you discussed this with your third brother?”

Bo Shuxian shook his head, his tone gentle: “No, I’ve troubled third brother enough.

My family is my responsibility.”

Old Lady looked at him, silent, her expression turning slightly grave.

When did the lounging chair stop rocking?

She sat up slightly, and Bo Shuxian also stood up, grabbing a cushion to support her back.

“As long as you’ve thought it through, that’s fine.

I respect your decision, but Qianqian—”

“Qianqian will stay here.”

Even though Old Lady had prepared a whole series of arguments and had thought through every possible tactic before Bo Shuxian’s arrival, whether gentle or firm.

When she suddenly heard his words, she faltered for a second.

“I often have to travel around the country with the archaeological team, and I’m responsible for the restoration of unearthed paintings and relics.

I really can’t spare the time to take care of Qianqian.

She’s old enough for kindergarten now, it would be unfair to make her lead a nomadic life with me.

Letting her stay in the Bo Residence to keep Grandma company is better.

Whenever I have the opportunity, I’ll come back first thing.

I won’t let Qianqian lack fatherly love.”

Everyone knew how passionate Bo Shuxian was about his archaeological career.

Always on the go, even when he did come back, it was just like a guest stopping by, at most staying for a night or two.

For a year or two, Old Lady Bo had really sympathized with Zhou Zining, thinking how a young girl married into the Bo Family without her husband around, raising a child and managing a jewelry business all by herself.

It seemed unfair to her.

But now, thinking about it.

Perhaps Zhou Zining enjoyed it more.

Without Bo Shuxian around, she had no obstacles, more legitimate reasons to live in the Bo Residence, and it was easier for her to get close to Bo Yanching.

Old Lady Bo sighed deeply, “With all you’ve said to me, can I even disagree?”

“I’ll explain things to Grandfather as well, so he won’t bother you.”

“Hmph, as if he would dare!” Old Lady’s voice chilled, “Even if I have to steal her away forcibly, he wouldn’t dare do anything.

Does he really think he’s still the man he was decades ago!”

Bo Shuxian said nothing.

The affairs of the older generation, with many details unknown to them the younger ones, were not for him to discuss.

“There’s one more thing, if Zining makes any requests, I will fulfill them within my ability.

After the divorce, let her live her life alone.”

His voice was too calm, unnervingly composed.

Old Lady almost nodded along but paused to reflect a moment and suddenly sensed something off in his words.
