Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Investigating the Truth_1
As soon as they entered the sickroom, they saw the old patriarch of the Bo family staring at them angrily.
He slamd the table with his hand, his voice heavy with anger, and sternly asked, “Did you two just go to the Bureau of Civil Affairs to prepare for a divorce?”
Xia Qingtian was shaken with fear.
Upon seeing this, a touch of heartache flickered in the old patriarch’s eyes, and his expression softened slightly.
“Qingqing, co here…” he beckoned Xia Qingtian over.
With guilt in her heart, Xia Qingtian approached him, her voice full of self-bla, “Grandpa, I’m sorry, you can hit or scold …”
At her words, the old patriarch did indeed raise his hand.
Xia Qingtian imdiately closed her eyes in fear, yet remained still on the spot.
However, the anticipated pain didn’t co. Instead, she felt a gentle stroking atop her head, “Silly child, there’s no reason for
to hit you.”
Upon hearing that, Xia Qingtian opened her eyes in shock, only to see the patriarch still kindly and amiable as before.
If it weren’t for the sll of disinfectant reminding her she was in a hospital, she could have mistaken the situation – his severe illness due to the knowledge of the child’s background in her belly – for a bad dream.
Xia Qingtian, completely taken aback, asked, “Grandpa, you don’t rember why you suffered a heart attack and were admitted to the hospital, do you?”
She couldn’t think of any explanation other than this.
How wonderful it would be if the old patriarch had indeed forgotten and would never rember again?
That way, she could always stay in the Bo family, stay with him and Bo Jingyan!
Alas, her hope was destined to be dashed.
The old patriarch told her, “Of course, I rember, just because I’m old doesn’t an I’m senile.”
Xia Qingtian’s face darkened. Indeed, there were no miracles in this world.
“Then why didn’t you hit or scold , Grandpa?” she bit her lip, gently touching her slightly swollen belly, her voice full of sadness, “You already knew about the child in my abdon…”
She couldn’t finish her sentence out of embarrassnt in front of the old patriarch, who had always been kind to her.
“I know…” the old patriarch sighed, “I was indeed surprised when I first found out, so I was a bit upset, but after all these days, I’ve co around.”
Xia Qingtian, seeing his attitude, instantly realized sothing.
“Grandpa, you don’t bla ?” Disbelieving, she widened her eyes and voiced the question, which even she found a bit absurd.
But the old patriarch nodded, “Hmm, I don’t bla you, it’s not your fault.”
Xia Qingtian was stunned.
The old patriarch not blaming her was surprising enough, but for him to even say it was not her fault?
Before she could voice the confusion in her mind, the old patriarch continued.
“If anyone is to bla, it’s Jingyan. He married you and then neglected you. During your three years of marriage, he ignored you, leading to this mishap. He reaps what he sows – what does this have to do with you?”
Having said that, he cast Bo Jingyan a cold glance to express his dissatisfaction.
Feeling his protection of her, Xia Qingtian was so moved that she couldn’t utter a single word.
The old patriarch turned to Bo Jingyan, his countenance losing its previous amiability and returning to its cold and stern deanor.
“You brat, who gave you permission to go to the Bureau of Civil Affairs with Qingqing to get a divorce? Did I not tell you before? Are you being defiant now that you’ve grown wings?”
If he hadn’t previously planted people inside the legal departnt to prevent Xia Qingtian and Bo Jingyan from divorcing, only to forget to remove them after the two reconciled, he wouldn’t have found out about their divorce.
The more he spoke, the more angry he beca, and he picked up his cane from the bedside, ready to strike Bo Jingyan and teach him a lesson.
“Grandpa, don’t…” Upon seeing this, Xia Qingtian imdiately stopped the elderly Bo, explaining, “I was the one who proposed the divorce, it has nothing to do with Bo.”
“Why?” The elderly Bo could not bear to scold Xia Qingtian, fearing that he might accidentally hurt her if he continues brandishing his walking stick, so he imdiately returned it to its original spot, “Why do you want to divorce? Is it because Jingyan hasn’t been treating you well?”
Xia Qingtian shook her head, her eyes slightly red as she looked at him, “No, it’s because I’m carrying another man’s child, and I don’t have the face to continue living in the Bo Family, being Mrs. Bo…”
“Who says you’re not eligible?” The elderly Bo said with a look of displeasure, “In this world, I only acknowledge you as my granddaughter-in-law!!!”
Xia Qingtian didn’t expect that at such a ti, not only did he not bla her, he didn’t even want to drive her out of the Bo Family; she was really touched.
But there was sothing she had to tell the elderly Bo.
Xia Qingtian moistened her lips, and said with so difficulty, “Grandpa, I’m sorry, I failed your expectations, I’m not planning to abort the child in my stomach.”
The elderly Bo looked at her in surprise, “Who asked you to abort the child?”
Xia Qingtian was genuinely shocked this ti, “Grandpa, are you not driving
out of the Bo Family and even letting
keep the child?”
“Yes…”
The elderly Bo nodded, “After all, it’s your child. Which mother would willingly harm her own child, and besides, the child is already ford. This is a living, little life. If aborted, wouldn’t that make you a murderer?”
“The Bo Family is large with a big business. It won’t collapse just because we have to raise a child.”
“Don’t worry so much, just stay in the Bo Family and take care of your pregnancy. In the future, give
a plump great-granddaughter so I can enjoy the happiness of a family.”
Xia Qingtian could no longer control the surging emotions within her and threw herself onto him in a hug.
“Grandpa, you’ve really been too good to !”
The elderly Bo had really embraced all of her mistakes without limit.
She was part of the Bo Family yet carrying another man’s child. If it were any ordinary family, they would have swept her away long ago.
But the elderly Bo not only did not bla her, he also allowed her to bear the child in her stomach.
She could find no one else in this world who treated her better than the elderly Bo.
The elderly Bo patted her on the shoulder, “In this way, you can relax, and won’t bring up that divorce matter again, right?”
Xia Qingtian imdiately shook her head, “I won’t bring it up again, never again.”
She was reluctant to leave Bo Jingyan.
And she was even more reluctant to leave the best grandfather in the world, the elderly Bo.
“That’s good!” The Bo elderly imdiately showed a delighted smile.
Xia Qingtian hugged the elderly Bo for a while, her emotions still turbulent. Then, she flung herself onto Bo Jingyan behind her and happily said, “It’s so good, Bo. We don’t have to divorce.”
It was only when he saw her so happy that Bo Jingyan understood how much she truly didn’t want to divorce.
A hint of a smile crossed his eyes, and he affird in a sowhat deep voice, “Mm.”
After the two finished their sweet talk, the elderly Bo started warning Bo Jingyan with a serious face, “Jingyan, you’ve wronged Qingtian too much before. You must treat her well in the future; make up for it.”
“Alright, I will.” Bo Jingyan nodded.
The elderly Bo finally felt satisfied.
The divorce matter was thus settled.
The two stayed in the hospital to accompany the elderly Bo for a day. It wasn’t until a nurse ca over to remind them that it was resting ti for the patients, that they prepared to leave, but at this mont…
As if suddenly recalling sothing, the elderly Bo called them over.
“Wait…” He said with a grave expression, “Jingyan, please check who sent
this express mail.”
