Chapter 679: She Has a Connection with the Kidnappers

Nan Jiaojiao and Qianqian were admitted to the hospital together.

Bo Yanching and Bo Qingshan stayed with them throughout.

During that time, Nan Jiaojiao woke up once, speaking a few groggy words to someone.

Afterward, Bo Qingshan left, satisfied.

He didn’t want to leave, but Grandma was still at home; he had to return or his absence would raise suspicion.

However, by this time, the Bo Residence was in complete disarray.

Yi Qinghuan arrived.

Old Lady Bo was very pleased.

She accepted all the gifts Yi Qinghuan brought, played chess, and admired flowers with her until it was time for dinner.

With no signs of Yi Qinghuan intending to leave, Old Lady Bo, delighted by the company, did not plan to let her go and promptly had the kitchen prepare dinner, adding several of Yi Qinghuan’s favorite dishes.

“I remember you like sweet dishes, right?”

Twiddling a chess piece, Yi Qinghuan gently placed it on the board, “It’s kind of you to remember, Grandma.

I’m sorry for the trouble.”

“What trouble?

As for the sweet dishes, the kitchen has made quite a few already, they are quite skilled at it.”

“Oh?” Yi Qinghuan was puzzled, “I don’t recall anyone at home liking sweet food; doesn’t Yanqing prefer lighter dishes?”

“That was the case before,” the Old Lady smiled broadly, “Jiaojiao likes it, especially the sweet and sour pork ribs.

Every time she visits, I have the kitchen make it.”

Yi Qinghuan felt a slight tug at her heart; her gracefully curved smile cracked slightly, but in the blink of an eye, that hint of anomaly had disappeared.

Feigning ignorance, she asked, “Jiaojiao?”

“Oh, you don’t know yet, Yanqing’s girlfriend is my family’s Xiao San’s daughter.

Whenever Nan Jiaojiao was mentioned, the Old Lady would drop the game of chess.

She pulled Yi Qinghuan close to her, talking incessantly about Nan Jiaojiao.

Yi Qinghuan listened quietly, occasionally joining the conversation, always with a calm smile on her face.

“She hasn’t visited this week; Xiao San took her to Hot Spring Villa, and he took Qingshan with him.

And this morning, he even picked up Qianqian, leaving just me, an old lady, at home.

Luckily, you came to keep me company, or I would have been utterly bored today.”

“Qingshan hasn’t been rescued yet?”

Yi Qinghuan blurted out, her face suddenly changed, and she avoided the Old Lady’s eyes.

But the Old Lady was an incredibly shrewd person; even in her younger days, despite being weakened, she still managed to drive countless concubines away from the Bo Residence in the Capital City, keeping only those she was too lazy to compete with.

She understood all the little tricks among the women in the inner court.

Initially, Bo Yanching and Yi Qinghuan had shared an ambiguous relationship, and although it had not led to marriage, their families continued their interactions.

Regardless, the Old Lady wasn’t important enough to merit a visit from Yi Qinghuan immediately upon her return to the country.

Earlier, she had deliberately mentioned Nan Jiaojiao to hint to Yi Qinghuan, yet Yi Qinghuan genuinely responded as if from a friend’s perspective, showing no sign of jealousy.

Just as the Old Lady let down her guard, she suddenly heard this statement, which confused her for a moment.

She immediately grabbed Yi Qinghuan, who was attempting to rise.

“What do you mean?

Where is he being rescued from?

What’s happened to Qingshan?”

Yi Qinghuan regretted speaking out, slapped her mouth lightly, and said softly, “Yanching told me not to say anything, please wait a little longer; they should be back soon.”

The Old Lady’s expression turned stern, “Speak.”

Yi Qinghuan couldn’t hide it any longer; she took out her phone and showed the Old Lady a video she had gotten from Li Jian.

The surveillance footage clearly showed Bo Qingshan being thrown into a car by kidnappers, while Nan Jiaojiao followed unharmed.

“I’ve always found it strange, this girl, does she have some connection to the kidnappers?”
