Mrs. Bo’s gaze at Qin Yan terrified Qin Yinyin.
Mrs. Bo still stood there, while everyone else had left the dining table. Qin Yan stood to her right. Subconsciously, Yinyin slid down from her chair and grabbed Qin Yan’s hand, addressing Mrs. Bo:
"Grandma, my mom is not a disaster!"
The comnt touched a nerve with Mrs. Bo, who already felt frustrated without an outlet. She let out a cold laugh and said, "Who gave you permission to call Grandma?!"
After that remark, Mrs. Bo’s gaze shifted to Qin Yan.
She had found out that this girl was not a child of the Bo Family!
Calling her Grandma?
Other than Qin Yan, she didn’t know who else would think to disgust her like that!
Mrs. Bo’s eyes beca icy as she stared at Qin Yan, "Did you teach her to say that?!"
Before Qin Yan could speak, Shen Ruyun, who was supporting Mrs. Bo, interrupted, "Of course it was her, mom, who else could it be? The fourth sister relies completely on this child!"
Shen Ruyun turned her face away, not looking at Qin Yan.
Her words carried a heavy implication. Although she didn’t specify, everyone knew what Shen Ruyun ant!
Having married into the Bo family while heavily pregnant, Qing Yan pinned the child onto Bo Yunshen’s na. What could it be, if not for the money?
Mrs. Bo laughed mockingly, "Ha... haha, you’re eyeing our family’s money, planning to bring this bastard to inherit the Bo family’s fortune, aren’t you! I should have listened to Yunshen at first and let him marry Manman straight away!"
"Other than not having your bone marrow, in what way is Manman not streets ahead of you? I was so foolish! My three sons died of cancer; I was terrified beyond belief, practically inviting a wolf into my ho! And now, look! Yunshen hasn’t even developed cancer, yet you’re almost killing him with distress!"
Qin Yan squeezed Qin Yinyin’s hand involuntarily tighter, her face turned pale in an instant. She pressed her lips together, her pupils void of any brightness.
Tears welled in Qin Yinyin’s eyes as she pouted and raised her voice in protest:
"Grandma, my mom hasn’t hurt Dad, my mom hasn’t tortured Dad!"
The words pierced Mrs. Bo painfully.
Inside the study, her son was bleeding because of Qin Yan, and they couldn’t call a doctor!
And now Qin Yan’s child had the audacity to say Qin Yan hadn’t hard Yunshen?
Was it not Qin Yan’s fault? Was her son to bla?
Mrs. Bo’s chest heaved, her fingers clenched into a fist, grinding her teeth in hatred!
Normally, it would be trivial if Qin Yinyin engaged Mrs. Bo in an argunt, but just when Yunshen had recently been whipped!
She hated Qin Yan, and because of her, she despised Qin Yinyin as well,
"You little bastard, what do you know?!"
Mrs. Bo’s face darkened as she scolded.
The Bo Family had accumulated respect over many years in Tong City. When Mrs. Bo truly got angry, how could Yinyin, a re child, withstand it?
Qin Yinyin’s body shuddered; originally holding Qin Yan’s hand with one hand, she now clung with both.
Qin Yan’s face, which had slightly paled before, turned ashen at Mrs. Bo’s words. Her lips trembled, revealing a glimpse of the raw emotions hidden beneath her composed façade.
She lifted her head, her gaze like a deep, bottomless cold pool.
"Mom, Yinyin is just a child. You said it yourself, she doesn’t understand anything. None of this is her fault. So, can you please stop calling her ’bastard’?"
No sooner had Qin Yan’s words fallen than Jiang Xue scoffed.
"The support of a father really makes a difference, doesn’t it? Quite the authority you wield, not only did dad punish Yunshen, now you don’t even regard mom," Jiang Xue said, feigning a sigh before continuing, "Ruyun, elder sister-in-law, when we three widows beco even more of an eyesore to our youngest sister-in-law, what then?"
Shen Ruyun, supporting Mrs. Bo, could naturally feel her body tremble slightly with anger upon hearing Jiang Xue’s words, naturally adding fuel to the fire.
"Yes, mom, does this an that our youngest sister-in-law will be the one calling the shots from now on? I may speak bluntly, and I don’t know how many tis I’ve offended her, but will there still be a place for in this house?"
"Sisters two and three! What ti do you think it is, and you’re still stirring up trouble here?" Fang Weiwei exclaid, "Do you have to infuriate mom to the point of illness before you’re satisfied?!"
Ruyun wanted to say sothing more but as she looked up, she t Qin Yan’s cold, indifferent gaze. Her heart fluttered, her mouth opened, and she clenched her lips shut.
In her and Jiang Xue’s eyes, Qin Yan seed like a madwoman, ready to bite anyone she saw!
Both of them still had their secrets in Qin Yan’s hands, and although they didn’t want Qin Yan to have it easy, neither Jiang Xue nor Shen Ruyun dared to speak further.
Mrs. Bo took in everyone’s interactions, her grip on Shen Ruyun’s hand tightening, her face turning pale.
Having been in power for many years, apart from a few quarrels with Bo Yuanshan in their daily life, no one had dared to confront her like this!
Now, not only had Qin Yan done it, but she had also done so in front of her daughters-in-law. How could Mrs. Bo stand this?
"Very well! Are you lecturing ?"
Qin Yan took a deep breath, stood up straight, and shielded Qin Yinyin behind her.
Looking directly at Mrs. Bo without being servile or overbearing, she said, "Qin Yan wouldn’t dare, but Yinyin hasn’t been back to the old house for three years. Today, she was forcibly brought back by Yunshen. I hope, mom, you can apologize to Yinyin and be a good elder."
"Mom! Now the youngest sister-in-law even dares to ask you to apologize. Won’t she drive and sister three out next?"
"Exactly, youngest sister-in-law, aren’t you being too much? No matter what mom said, we, the younger generation, should accept it! Besides, Yunshen is being beaten because of you, and we can’t even call a doctor. Isn’t this adding insult to injury?"
"Why are you even comparing this with mom?"
Although Shen Ruyun seed to be speaking for Qin Yan, she subtly aid her words at Bo Yunshen, further infuriating Mrs. Bo:
"Good grief! You really are sothing! To think you’d have your mother-in-law bow and scrape to apologize to a ’bastard’!"
Qin Yan’s eyelashes trembled, all expression fading from her face, but she stubbornly stood in front of Mrs. Bo, her back to the window, blocking so of the light in front of her.
From Mrs. Bo’s perspective, she could only see Qin Yan’s face, imrsed in deep shadows!
Qin Yan’s lips moved as she said, "Mom, if you insist on insulting people, I can go to the study right now and have a word with dad."
Mrs. Bo’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Qin Yan and asked, "What do you an?! I’m an old woman now, are you saying you want Yuanshan to discipline ?!"
She sneered repeatedly.
How had she been chard by such a woman to bring her back for Yunshen!
Now this house, because of a few words from Qin Yan, was filled with smoke and chaos, and no peace was to be found!
Oh, how she regretted it!
