Did he really think he couldn’t figure it out?
The old man’s mind was going as he aged, and when the ti ca, wouldn’t it still be his unfavored son who would suffer?
Take what just happened, for instance. He hadn’t said anything wrong; Qin Yinyin truly wasn’t his child!
He had rely spoken a few excessive words, and the old man flew into such a rage!
If he really had abused his wife, was the old man really planning to beat him to death?
It was just so strange; was Qin Yan really that wonderful?
Bo Yuanshan, infuriated by Bo Yunshen, stord out of the study, his face dark as he turned the door handle and ascended to the second floor.
Mrs. Bo saw Bo Yuanshan co out and instinctively lifted her foot, intending to enter the study to check on Yunshen’s condition.
Mrs. Bo didn’t know how Yunshen was doing after Yuanshan treated him so harshly. Just as she was about to move, Qin Yan stopped her, "Mom, let go instead."
Mrs. Bo hesitated for a mont, her gaze suspiciously fixed on Qin Yan.
After all, it was because of the spousal abuse that Yuanshan had hit Yunshen, and clearly, only Qin Yan and Yunshen knew the details and could explain things clearly!
That stubborn kid, as obstinate as could be, his mouth harder than stone, insisted he had abused his wife. Every word he uttered could be the death of her!
Mrs. Bo had also heard what Yuanshan said before leaving the study, and her only hope now was for Qin Yan to persuade him!
Otherwise, once Yuanshan ca down, Yunshen would inevitably continue to be beaten!
With that thought, Mrs. Bo strained to pull back her leg and nodded at Qin Yan, "Alright, you go! You go and persuade Yunshen well, tell him to lower his head to your dad!"
While she spoke, Mrs. Bo’s lips quivered, and she drew a deep breath before adding, "Qin Yan, please, persuade him well. If you do, everything that happened before, I can let it go."
Qin Yan paused.
She understood what Mrs. Bo ant. Reaching down, she picked up Yinyin, who stood on the ground, and placed her in Mrs. Bo’s arms, "Please, mom, take care of Yinyin for for a while."
Mrs. Bo, almost reflexively, supported Qin Yinyin’s chubby body and nodded at Qin Yan.
She couldn’t wait for Qin Yan to get inside. At this mont, whatever Qin Yan said was truth!
Qin Yan took a deep breath.
Her mother-in-law’s tongue might be sharp, but at the end of the day, she was consud by love for her son!
Qin Yan was a mother herself. She put herself in her mother-in-law’s shoes for a mont, and if such a situation arose with her own child, Qin Yan wasn’t sure she could do any better than Mrs. Bo!
Besides, Mrs. Bo hadn’t done anything too out of line!
Qin Yan felt reassured giving Yinyin to Mrs. Bo!
But she worried about the other three sisters-in-law of the Bo family, especially Jiang Xue and Shen Ruyun.
Not only were their tongues sharp, their hearts were also dark!
Qin Yan hadn’t had many dealings with them but was well aware that Shen Ruyun and Jiang Xue wouldn’t hold back their nurous grievances just because Qin Yinyin was young!
There were plenty of unkind words to be said!
Qin Yan’s gaze slowly turned to Shen Ruyun and Jiang Xue for a mont before she made her way toward the study!
Once Qin Yan’s figure disappeared, Shen Ruyun let out a sneer, "What kind of look was that from our fourth sister-in-law? Does she really think her daughter is so precious treasure that everyone is after?"
"Mom, and you put up with her just like that. If Qin Yan gets her way later on, won’t she end up walking all over you?"
Shen Ruyun felt very aggrieved. Just as she was about to speak, she was stopped by Fang Weiwei, "Mom’s heart is in turmoil right now. Can’t you just speak less? Let her have so quiet?"
"Anything you want to say can wait until after your fourth brother’s issue is resolved, will that shorten your life?"
Shen Ruyun glanced at Mrs. Bo, then at Fang Weiwei!
With such a situation unfolding, she couldn’t believe that her sister-in-law wasn’t anxious, still playing the role of the good person, who knows how she’s cursing Qin Yan behind her back?
Pfft! She even has the nerve to lecture her!
If it weren’t for the fact that Qin Yan had sothing on her, and Bo Yunshen had been beaten by Dad, and Mom was in a bad mood, she would definitely pester her mother to make Qin Yan suffer!
Don’t think that a few lashes will settle things, she wouldn’t let it go that easily!
Shen Ruyun shook off Fang Weiwei’s hand and sat down on the sofa with a huff.
As Qin Yan pushed open the door of the study, her gaze fell upon Bo Yunshen’s lacerated back.
The bloody sll in the study was heavy, and under the bright light, it seed to weave layers upon layers of a terrifying sight across Bo Yunshen’s wounds, seen through Qin Yan’s eyes.
Qin Yan’s heart skipped a beat, she closed her eyes, then opened them again.
Bo Yunshen was kneeling in the study with his back to Qin Yan. His white shirt had been soaked with blood so thoroughly that no color could be discerned, and the man’s temples were wet with sweat.
Qin Yan rubbed her arms. The air conditioning was on in the study, it wasn’t hot enough to cause Bo Yunshen to sweat so much; the only explanation was that he was in pain!
But aside from a muffled groan that belonged to Bo Yunshen, and the stubborn counterargunts that were heard outside the study, Qin Yan hadn’t heard any cries of pain from him.
She had thought that maybe Mrs. Bo had exaggerated out of sympathy for Bo Yunshen and had even considered that Bo Yunshen was after all Bo Yuanshan’s son, he wouldn’t actually beat Bo Yunshen within an inch of his life.
Qin Yan’s mouth twitched, but no words ca out.
Bo Yunshen sensed a shadow fall overhead, thinking Bo Yuanshan might have returned. But when he didn’t see the person continue to walk forward, he was taken aback and turned his head for a glance.
Seeing it was Qin Yan, his body stiffened. Now that she’d seen him in this miserable state, she must be feeling rather smug, right?
Bo Yunshen’s complexion turned dark. After Bo Yuanshan had left the study, he hadn’t bothered to get up from the ground, worried that if Bo Yuanshan returned, he would be forced to continue kneeling.
Moving back and forth would only aggravate his wounds and, in the end, he would be the one to suffer!
If he’d known Qin Yan would co in, he would have dragged himself up from the ground no matter the pain!
"What is Director Qin doing here? Coming to see my joke?"
Bo Yunshen’s mouth was slightly stiff, and his gaze at Qin Yan took on a layer of profound cynicism.
Qin Yan’s eyebrows twitched.
As things had developed to this point, Bo Yunshen’s attitude showed no signs of softening.
Qin Yan bit the tip of her tongue and said to Bo Yunshen, "Yunshen, there’s no need for such sarcasm. At the company, I am indeed Director Qin of Bo Group, but at ho, I am the rightful Mrs. Bo."
Bo Yunshen’s expression flickered, followed by a cold laugh. "Mrs. Bo, huh..."
Did Qin Yan an she wanted him to call her Mrs. Bo in the future?
The matter of wife-abuse had beco a dia sensation!
Qin Yan knew full well what was going on!
That night, she had been injured, she had been hit, but not by him—it was the taxi driver!
All she had to do was explain things to the old man, and he wouldn’t have had to endure these lashes today.
Pfft, didn’t she claim to love him to death? What now? Had she changed her mind, actually having the heart to watch him take those lashes, to suffer till his flesh burst open?
