Chapter 726: Grandpa Wants to See You

“What’s this?”

The screen was showing the overexposed photo of Nan Jiaojiao.

Bo Yuman stared at it for a moment, “Isn’t there a single picture where she looks like a human?”

Bo Yanching couldn’t help but laugh as he took his phone back and found a front-facing photo of Nan Jiaojiao to show her.

Bo Yuman looked at the photo, then at him, and back at the photo before gulping down her coffee.

“She’s pretty good-looking.

Have you checked her eyesight, though?

If her vision is normal, how could she possibly be interested in you?”

“What’s wrong with me?”

Bo Yanching truly didn’t understand why the Old Lady and his second sister always had something negative to say about him.

Although thirty-one, he was quite handsome, his character was decent, and he was in good health.

Yet, in the eyes of these two women, he seemed like some middle-aged widower.

Bo Yuman sneered, throwing the phone back to him, “Grandfather is looking for you; go upstairs.”

Bo Yanching chuckled meaningfully, “He’s been avoiding me for three days, suddenly he’s awake?”

Bo Yuman shifted her gaze slightly, “I don’t know, don’t ask me.

I came back even later than you.”

“Alright, I’m going up.”

Pushing himself up from his knees, Bo Yanching stood, slipping the phone into his trouser pocket.

“How long are you staying this time?”

“I don’t have any vacation days left.

I took a day off today to check on you.

I won’t have time to have dinner with you this evening.”

Bo Yuman stretched her coat, then abruptly changed the subject: “Has Shuxian gotten in touch with you?”

“Hmm?”

“He called me last night, made some small talk, but didn’t mention anything specific.

I sensed he was feeling down.

Did Zhou Zining’s divorce affect him so badly?”

“He reached out to you?”

Bo Yuman clicked her tongue lightly, “He’s in Rongcheng City.

Keep an eye on him; he doesn’t have many friends.”

Bo Yanching involuntarily furrowed his brows.

Indeed, the only person that could affect Bo Shuxian that much was Zhou Zining.

Since the incident, Bo Shuxian hadn’t reached out to him, but he must have known about it.

“I’ll step out for a bit.

I’m getting bored at home,” Bo Yuman said as she handed him the empty cup.

“Wash this for me.”

With that said, she stuffed her hands in her pockets and walked off with a stride as resolute as a stalwart rose.

If not for the polka-dotted headband that added a bit of a mischievous air, her steps alone would look like she was about to rush out and pick a fight.

Bo Yanching shook his head and chuckled.

He walked into the dining room, washed the cup, placed it on the rack, and then headed upstairs.

His grandfather’s bedroom was on the second floor, the door slightly ajar, with soft voices coming from inside.

The doctor had just come out and met Bo Yanching face to face.

He looked at Bo Yanching with a slight surprise as if evaluating the unfamiliar face before quickly bowing his head and leaving with his medical kit.

Two attendants remained inside the bedroom, where the Old Man lay on the bed, wearing a breathing mask.

His younger aunt, Wen Ya, was leaning over and talking to him.

She happened to glance towards the door.

Their eyes met, and Wen Ya nodded at Bo Yanching.

She tucked the Old Man in before walking up to Bo Yanching.

“Grandpa hasn’t been awake much.

He was only awake for an hour yesterday, and he wasn’t very lucid, so I didn’t call you at that time.

He just woke up and heard you’ve been staying at the hotel for three days.

He urgently wanted you to come over to see you.”

Logically speaking, the person in front of him was considered a family elder of Bo Yanching.

But in the generations before, there wasn’t much emphasis on monogamy.

Besides his official wife, the Old Man had many mistresses.

This particular one stayed till the end.

The previous mistresses also had children, but either the babies died in the womb or passed away in childhood.

The Old Man once thought this house was burdened with evil spirits and had called a Feng Shui master to take a look.

Only after Wen Ya gave birth to a son did the ominous events gradually cease.
