Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Putting an End to It_1
As for the child in Xia Qingtian’s womb…
A sinister sparkle flashed through Chen Momo’s eyes. She would find another way.
In any case, she would absolutely not allow Xia Qingtian and the child in her womb to disrupt her plans.
After they discussed this matter, the doctor happened to co and took Chen Momo for a reexamination. The result was that she had completely recovered and could be discharged from the hospital.
So, Bo Jingyan completed the discharge procedures for her and they returned to the old mansion together.
Upon seeing Chen Momo, Xia Qingtian gave her a hostile gaze and prepared to ignore her entirely.
But Chen Momo was not willing to let it go so easily, “Qingtian…”
She ca to Xia Qingtian’s side with victorious confidence and said, “As for the incident the other day, grandfather and Bo Jingyan have already compensated
on your behalf. I won’t hold it against you anymore.”
Having said that, without giving Xia Qingtian the opportunity to counter, she ntioned that she was a bit tired and went directly back to her room to rest.
Standing in place, Xia Qingtian stared incredulously at Mr. Bo and Bo Jingyan.
Her heart was heavy with sadness, “Grandfather, Jingyan, you chose to believe Chen Momo?”
Seeing her saddened expression, Mr. Bo couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache, “Qingqing, don’t misunderstand, I never doubted you, it’s just…”
He hesitated at this point.
Bo Jingyan added expressionlessly, “It’s just that all the evidence indicates Chen Momo’s story is the truth.”
Saying this, he handed a copy of the evidence to Xia Qingtian, “Take a look for yourself.”
After reading through this so-called evidence, Xia Qingtian was practically at a loss for words.
If she were not a party to the matter, after seeing this evidence, she too would believe Chen Momo’s story.
She understood that Bo Jingyan and Mr. Bo were doing all this for her benefit, but the sentint still upset her. Nonetheless, she quickly pulled herself together—she hadn’t done anything wrong.
She would definitely find a way to prove her own innocence.
…
Having dealt with matters concerning Chen Momo and Xia Qingtian, Bo Jingyan went to work at his company.
Upon his arrival, Jian Xuan entered with a knock on the door, addressing him respectfully, “Mr. President, I have made so progress on the matter you asked
to investigate.”
Upon hearing this, Bo Jingyan lifted his head. He had previously asked Jian Xuan to investigate whether soone was assisting Chen Momo from behind the scenes, and if so, who it might be.
“Who?” His gaze remained cool.
He was curious to know who had the nerve to sche against him, Bo Jingyan, in A City.
Jian Xuan handed him a folder without giving a response. “Mr. President, please see for yourself.”
Bo Jingyan furrowed his brow, leafing through the folder to see that the person in frequent contact with Chen Momo was—
Shen Yaxuan!!!
The night Chen Momo escaped, she had called Shen Yaxuan, and just a few days ago they had been out for drinks together.
Among all of the people who had been in contact with Chen Momo, the only one powerful enough to assist her was Shen Yaxuan.
Could it be, the person helping Chen Momo in plotting against him was Shen Yaxuan???
Rembering their shared near-death experiences and deep friendship over the years, Bo Jingyan’s heart sank.
He didn’t want to suspect his best friend, so he concealed the look in his eyes, closed the folder and waved towards Jian Xuan, “You can go and attend to your own tasks.”
Bo Jingyan stayed in his office alone for a long ti, till the night fell and lanterns began to glow dimly.
He took a few bottles of his best liquor and went directly to Shen Yaxuan’s ho.
Upon seeing him, Shen Yaxuan seed a bit surprised, “Why did you co over?”
Bo Jingyan slightly lifted the liquor bottle in his hand, “I am in a bad mood, I thought I would co over and have a few drinks with you.”
“Sure, today I’ll risk my liver to keep you company. Let us not return till we are dead drunk.”
Shen Yaxuan laughed lightly and led Bo Jingyan into his wine cellar, “Moreover, I also have plenty of good liquor here. I can bear to let ordinary people view it, but today, whichever bottle you like, you can open.”
Bo Jingyan didn’t stand on ceremony, and promptly opened several bottles of his best liquor.
Soon, a number of empty liquor bottles littered the floor around the two n. Both exuded strong alcohol fus as they sat side by side on the ground, leaning against the wine rack.
Bo Jingyan spoke casually, “How many years have we known each other?”
“It should be close to twenty years.” Shen Yaxuan let out a hiccup before speaking, then pondering for a mont, he added uncertainly.
Whereas Bo Jingyan quoted a very accurate number, “Nineteen years, two months, and twenty-one days.”
Shen Yaxuan detected sothing unusual about Bo Jingyan’s behavior that evening, so he cast a doubtful gaze at him, “Jingyan, what’s bothering you tonight? So problem on your mind?”
Ignoring his inquiry, Bo Jingyan returned a question, “Have you fallen for soone? Is it Chen Momo?”
Because he liked her, when Chen Momo asked for help, he agreed to assist her.
Besides this reason, he could think of nothing else that would explain it.
“How can that be?” Shen Yaxuan instantly denied, “Chen Momo is not my type.”
Upon saying this, Xia Qingtian’s face unconsciously appeared in his mind.
At this mont, the aftereffect of the alcohol began to kick in, causing his whole body to relax. He murmured, “The type I like has long hair and a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes. She doesn’t smile very often, but when she does, there’s this cute dimple at the corner of her mouth…”
He described Xia Qingtian’s face and everything about her, one detail at a ti.
Bo Jingyan’s face beca increasingly grim as he listened to his words, his gaze growing darker.
After Shen Yaxuan finished describing the girl he liked, Bo Jingyan asked with a heavy tone, “So, is the girl you like Xia Qingtian?”
As he asked this, he recalled Shen Yaxuan’s advice to treat Xia Qingtian better. He also rembered how Shen Yaxuan had risked his own life to save Xia Qingtian, to the point where he now had to use a wheelchair to get around.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yaxuan suddenly sobered up, all effects of the alcohol disappearing instantly.
“No…” He instinctively wanted to deny it.
However, the mont he t Bo Jingyan’s deep, frosty eyes, he no longer wished to continue the deception.
He confessed sowhat dejectedly, “Yes, I like Qingtian, and I have liked her for many, many years. By the ti I found her, she had already beco your wife.”
Upon hearing this, Bo Jingyan instantly understood why Shen Yaxuan had helped Chen Momo.
“So you helped Chen Momo escape from the villa to find grandfather, leaving the child behind, in order to tie
down with Chen Momo and the child, so as to amplify the conflict between
and Qingtian. Then, you’d be able to take advantage of the situation?” He asked with a chilling tone.
Shen Yaxuan was startled and soon it dawned upon him.
He finally understood why Bo Jingyan, out of the blue, would suddenly co to drink with him. It turned out that he had already discovered so things, and tonight he ant to test him.
Upon realizing this, Shen Yaxuan did not feel panicked. On the contrary, his heart filled with a sense of release.
Finally, he no longer had to carry the guilt, deceiving his best friend ti and again. Tonight, there would be a resolution between them.
