Chapter 120: Chapter 120 Dealing with Men_1 Chapter 120: Chapter 120 Dealing with Men_1 Xia Qingtian thought that with a frightful man in the room, she wouldn’t be able to fall asleep.

But surprisingly, she fell asleep quickly and miraculously slept till daybreak.

The next day.

When Xia Qingtian opened her eyes, Bo Jingyan was gone without a trace.

She almost believed that it had all been a dream.

Until she saw a chair placed beside the bed where Bo Jingyan had sat watching over her last night.

He wasn’t there now, he must have left.

Xia Qingtian suddenly felt a sense of inexplicable loss in her heart.

She got up and went out to the balcony, noticing the weather had finally cleared and sunlight sprinkled all over the land.

Seeing the sunlight, her mood improved somewhat.

Just as she was about to stretch her arms, suddenly…

A car drove over.

Xia Qingtian froze, it couldn’t be that Shen Yaxuan is coming again, could it?

Yesterday, he had made an OK gesture to her when she had cried out for help.

Could it be that Shen Yaxuan has come to rescue her?

With this thought in mind, Xia Qingtian watched the car intently.

Soon, she saw the license plate of the car, it was—

Mr. Bo’s car!!!

Xia Qingtian rubbed her eyes, barely able to believe what she was seeing.

The car came to a stop outside the villa.

The door opened, and an old man, spirited and dressed in a Tang suit, looking highly dignified, leaning on a cane, was helped out slowly by the butler.

Seeing the old man, Xia Qingtian’s eyes shone.

It was really Mr. Bo!!!

“Grandfather…” Like seeing a life-saving straw, Xia Qingtian waved down as hard as she could.

Mr. Bo, hearing the sound, looked up.

At the sight of Xia Qingtian, his stern visage softened.

“Qingqing…” Like an old rogue, he waved back at Xia Qingtian.

Xia Qingtian wanted to rush down to see Mr. Bo.

But she was still confined by Bo Jingyan and couldn’t step out of her room.

So, she could only stay in the room, waiting for Mr. Bo to come to her.

When Mr. Bo arrived at Xia Qingtian’s room, he instantly showed concern upon seeing her, “How is it that you’ve become so thin in just a few days?”

Xia Qingtian’s expression turned a bit bleak.

She had been locked up here by Bo Jingyan for so many days, her liberty curtailed, and she had been scared all day long, it would be strange if she hadn’t lost weight.

Mr. Bo’s expression turned highly stern and severe.

“Did Jingyan, that darn boy, not treat you well? You be honest with me, and I will certainly punish him with family rules!”

Recalling what Bo Jingyan had done to her over the last few days, Xia Qingtian felt a sudden rush of revengeful satisfaction.

She had been confined by Bo Jingyan not allowing her to leave, and he had even threatened her using her tutor.

She was definitely going to complain to grandfather in front of him and make him face their family rules, make him pay for his antics.

At this thought, Xia Qingtian felt an inward thrill.

Without hesitating, she was about to reveal all the detestable acts Bo Jingyan had committed over the past few days, “Grandfather, Bo Jingyan, he….”

But halfway through her sentence, she suddenly recalled something, “Grandfather, what does family rules mean?”

Mr. Bo immediately explained, “That is to have him kneel at the ancestral shrine and whip him twenty times with a riding crop, ensure he’s left bloody and raw, unable to get out of bed for ten days to a fortnight.”

Upon hearing this, Xia Qingtian’s face altered.

Are the family rules really that cruel?

“Qingqing, what were you saying about Jingyan?” Mr. Bo asked impatiently.

Xia Qingtian had never expected the family rules to be so brutal!

She suddenly remembered how Bo Jingyan had sat in her room the whole night because he knew she was afraid of thunder and lightning.

She felt a twinge of softness.

But if she didn’t ask for grandfather’s help this time, she didn’t know when she would be released.

Worse come to the worst, after she had spilled the beans, she would plead for leniency for Jingyan with Grandfather, and ask that he be spared from family rules.

With that in mind, Xia Qingtian steeled her heart, about to raise the accusation, “He…”

“Beep beep beep…”

Suddenly, a ringtone sounded, interrupting her.

Xia Qingtian realized it was the watch on Mr. Bo’s hand that was ringing.

“Grandfather, why is your watch making sound?” She asked in confusion.

Mr. Bo showed an unconcerned look, “Oh, it’s nothing, just reminding me to take my medication.”

Xia Qingtian looked worried upon hearing this.

“Why do you have to take medicine? What kind of medication? Is there something wrong with your health, grandfather?”

Mr. Bo took out a bottle of pills from his coat pocket, poured out two directly without drinking water, and swallowed them.

The butler answered from the side, “Mr. Bo had heart discomfort a few days ago and was in the hospital under observation for a couple of days. He was discharged only yesterday. The doctor prescribed these pills, stating that Mr. Bo needs a lot of rest and mustn’t be subjected to any shocks.”

Xia Qingtian was taken aback, “Grandfather, you were hospitalized due to poor health, why didn’t you tell us?”

She remembered that Mr. Bo had always suffered from a heart condition.

But since he had taken good care of it, it hadn’t acted up for a long time, leading her to believe that it had been cured.

Little did she expect Mr. Bo had been hospitalized due to heart discomfort.

Mr. Bo had finished taking his medicine.

He waved it off nonchalantly, “It’s nothing, haven’t I been discharged? It’s just the butler making a big fuss about minor issues.”

Having said that, he turned to Xia Qingtian, “Qingqing, continue.”

Xia Qingtian remembered that Mr. Bo’s health was poor and couldn’t endure any shocks.

The words that had been on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back down.

“Grandfather, Jingyan and I… we’re really good, there was just a minor dispute these last two days. When we last went out for a meal, he forgot that I don’t like garlic, yet he ordered the garlic flavored shrimp. That’s why I was mad at him.”

Xia Qingtian casually made up an excuse.

“Grandfather, you have no idea how much he can get on my nerves, totally not knowing how to butter me up.”

“Really?” Mr. Bo was somewhat skeptical.

He had received an anonymous call explicitly stating a major conflict had occurred between the two of them, asking him to mediate.

But what Xia Qingtian said, were mere trifles.

“Of course it’s true, and we made up yesterday night too.”

Xia Qingtian wore an expression of contentment.

“Jingyan’s that kind of person, doing a lot but saying little. He knew I was scared of thunder and lightning, yet he kept watch in my room the whole night without making a peep.”

“If I hadn’t been woken up by the thunder in the middle of the night, I wouldn’t have detected it even. How silly of him.”

Speaking in such a touching manner, Mr. Bo was no longer doubtful.

“As long as you two are fine. A husband and wife can hardly not have arguments, but in the end it should be ‘fight at the head of the bed, reconcile at the end of the bed.’

“Furthermore, men are easy to appease, if you’ve upset him, just need to kiss and fawn over him a bit, if one kiss does not suffice, plant him two, then all will be alright.”

“Ah? Grandfather, you aren’t fooling me, are you?” Xia Qingtian showed disbelief.
