The sound of the whip cracking was so loud that Yanyan couldn’t help but shrink her shoulders.
A hint of blood lingered at the tip of her nose; standing close, Yanyan saw the incessant cold sweat on Bo Yunshen’s face.
Yanyan reached out to stop Bo Yuanshan’s hand, but instantly froze.
He looked miserable, his pale shirt unrecognizable in its original color. Across his neck and arms were newly added cuts, the strong scent of blood spreading through the air.
A tremor ran through Yanyan’s heart, a rare sense of guilt settling in.
"Realize your mistake?"
Bo Yuanshan clenched his teeth and asked with hatred in his voice.
A flash of crimson flitted through his eyes. Bo Yunshen licked the corner of his lips, his gaze lingering on Yanyan’s face for a second.
He truly wanted to ask her what she had said to the old man to make him so angry!
"Don’t you regret what you did?!"
Bo Yuanshan said, whipping the air again, but this ti the whip did not fall on Bo Yunshen.
"Regret!"
Bo Yunshen’s tone was indifferent, but those two words were enough to surprise both Yanyan and Bo Yuanshan!
Especially Yanyan, since Bo Yunshen did not seem like the type to admit his mistakes.
Furthermore, the kidnapping of Yinyin had nothing to do with him!
"I regret that after Director Qin was hit by falling rocks, I carried her across the mountainside!"
"I should have just let her get crushed by the rocks!"
"After all, I couldn’t escape a whipping once down the mountain, so why bother with all the trouble?!"
"Isn’t that right, Dad?!"
Bo Yuanshan’s face darkened once more, his hands clenching tightly, almost instinctively raising the hand that held the whip.
Yanyan intervened.
"Dad, I would like to have a word alone with Yunshen."
After a mont’s hesitation, Bo Yuanshan nodded and said, "Fine, you talk. But Yanyan, if this beast bullies you again, you don’t have to endure it!"
"Just tell !"
Yanyan nodded and watched Bo Yuanshan leave.
When the study door closed, the look in Bo Yunshen’s eyes grew colder.
"Director Qin really has a way with words, with just a few phrases, you drove my parents’ favorite sister-in-law out of the house!"
"Impressive!"
Saying so, Bo Yunshen clapped his hands sarcastically for Yanyan.
His clapping was smooth, as if he was not at all affected by Bo Yuanshan’s whippings.
Shen Ruyun had been driven out of the family house; Yanyan couldn’t be here to apologize for misunderstanding him, could she?
It wasn’t hard for Yanyan to detect the sarcasm in Bo Yunshen’s words.
"Director Qin gets rid of my dad and wants to talk to ? What about?"
"Let guess, planning to continue threatening ? What does Director Qin want this ti?"
"With Sister-in-Law gone, do you want her shares?"
Yanyan paused and said in a soft voice, "Yunshen, what I want to talk about isn’t as complex as you think!"
"Young Mr. Gu and Yinyin explained earlier, and I guess, you probably have nothing to do with Yinyin’s kidnapping..."
"I’m here to apologize to you!"
Upon hearing this, the already painful wounds on Bo Yunshen’s body suddenly hurt even more!
Apologize?
He was on the mountain fighting for his life, trying to save Yanyan, and then received such a "gift" from her as soon as he ca down!
Did Yanyan think a re apology would suffice?
"Director Qin, you really have a way of making things sound so easy!"
"You say Yinyin was kidnapped by , so it’s , and if you say it’s not, then it’s not?"
"After so ti passes, if Director Qin happens to et with misfortune, do you still plan to pin it on ?"
While speaking, Bo Yunshen reached out and tugged at the torn fabric of his shirt, "Director Qin, with the intensity of this whipping, a few more tis and my life, Bo Yunshen’s life, would be in your hands!"
"Your apology is worthless!"
Qin Yan’s body stiffened slightly, "Speaking of which, the responsibility for this incident isn’t entirely on !"
"Why did you admit to sothing you didn’t do in a fit of pique?"
"Your admission was really ambiguous, it wasn’t just Dad, even I thought, the kidnapping case was planned by you!"
Moreover, before that kidnapper died, he persisted in implicating you, Bo Yunshen...
Upon hearing this, the already sullen face of Bo Yunshen suddenly darkened.
"Director Qin is right!"
"But to take the life of a three-year-old child, for , is as easy as flipping my hand!"
"Car accidents, poisoning, abduction, I have a thousand ways to act without Director Qin finding any evidence against !"
Bo Yunshen felt a wave of irritation inside as Qin Yan looked at him, did she still have the face to bla him?
The old man trusted her so much, even if he didn’t admit it, would Qin Yan let him off?
In his view, Qin Yan must have deliberately staged this drama, seeking to teach him a lesson for playing hide-and-seek with Qin Yinyin and losing the child!
Thinking this, Bo Yunshen’s tone beca even nastier, "So, Director Qin had better not provoke any further!"
...
Outside the study.
Ever since Qin Yinyin had been kidnapped, she hadn’t eaten much.
Mrs. Bo had the kitchen prepare so porridge and, holding Qin Yinyin, fed her spoonful by spoonful.
Her eyes were very red, Qin Yinyin swallowed the porridge in her mouth, reached out her hand to wipe away Mrs. Bo’s tears, and asked in a soft voice,
"Grandma, why are you crying?"
Mrs. Bo glanced over at Bo Yuanshan not far away and whispered, "Yinyin, just now Grandpa hit your dad."
"He got hurt, and Grandma only has one son, so Grandma’s heart aches."
Upon hearing this, worry also appeared on Qin Yinyin’s face.
"Dad is hurt, why doesn’t he go to the hospital, why not see a doctor?"
"Grandma, can we take Dad to the hospital?"
Mrs. Bo was close to bursting into tears. Go to the hospital?
With Bo Yuanshan saying no word, who would dare to take Bo Yunshen to the hospital? Even calling a doctor was off-limits.
Her son’s life had indeed been too difficult!
"Your dad’s injuries are external, we have dicine at ho, there’s no need for the hospital!"
"But he did sothing wrong, and your Grandpa is very angry, he refused to let your dad take any dicine."
Qin Yinyin’s eyes imdiately welled up with tears.
Even though she felt resentnt toward Bo Yunshen for kidnapping her and wishing her dead, as soon as Grandma spoke, she realized she still felt a bit sorry for her dad.
"Then... what do we do?"
Qin Yinyin’s big eyes widened, misty and exceptionally clear.
Staring so closely, she vaguely felt that Qin Yinyin’s facial features bore a resemblance to Bo Yunshen’s.
She shook her head, dispelling those absurd thoughts, and continued,
"Grandpa likes you and your mom very much, in a little while Grandma will get soone to bring dicine to you, can you go and act sweet with Grandpa, and take the dicine into the study, okay?"
"Can you help Grandma, please?"
Qin Yinyin tilted her head and glanced at Bo Yuanshan, although sowhat scared, she obediently nodded.
Seeing her nod, Mrs. Bo imdiately handed the prepared ointnt to Qin Yinyin, then hugged her small fra and instructed,
"Yinyin, no matter what, after you go in, you must convince your mom to apply so dicine to your dad!"
