Chapter 315: Chapter 315: Drive Her Away_1

Bo Jingyan seemed to be considering and didn’t respond.

"Jingyan..." Fearing he would refuse, Xia Qingtian squeezed his hand tightly and implored, "Promise me."

Bo Jingyan pursed his lips and grasped her hand in return.

"Okay!" He agreed.

Xia Qingtian was nearly moved to tears with relief.

She had been really afraid that Bo Jingyan wouldn’t support her.

Thankfully, in the end, he chose to stand by her side.

"Mr. Bo..." Gu Jinchuan looked at him disapprovingly, frowned and said, "You are obviously disregarding her health. You heard what the doctor said."

"This is serious. She will bleed heavily, and even if the worst does not happen, if she catches a chill during her confinement period, she will surely develop a lingering illness."

Upon hearing this, Bo Jingyan didn’t even blink an eye, his face remained impassive.

"I respect her decision."

Whether taking her out this time could cause her heavy bleeding or potential health problems, he wasn’t sure. But one thing he was certain was—

If she was not allowed to see her grandfather off on his final journey, she would grieve for the rest of her life. He didn’t want her to carry such a regret forever.

His few words left Gu Jinchuan speechless.

Indeed, Xia Qingtian was an adult and had her own thoughts. No one had the right to disregard her true feelings and make decisions for her under the guise of good intentions.

He looked at Bo Jingyan with surprise, "Mr. Bo, you have truly changed my perception of you."

Unexpectedly, the once domineering and self-righteous Bo Jingyan was now the one who understood the meaning of ’respect’ better than anyone else.

Bo Jingyan was non-committal towards his comment.

And so, the matter was settled.

The next day.

The patriarch of the Bo Family was laid to rest.

The weather was gloomy that morning.

Bo Jingyan had many things to deal with that day and couldn’t pick up Xia Qingtian. However, he sent his most trusted Jian Xuan to fetch her, along with a doctor to attend her.

She arrived at the memorial hall soon thereafter.

Only a few close friends of the Bo Family were invited to the patriarch’s funeral.

They accompanied the family patriarch to the mountains and buried him next to his wife.

After the funeral, Xia Qingtian didn’t leave immediately but stayed by the side of Bo Jingyan and his mother, Tian Suqin, to thank and send off their guests.

Halfway through, Tian Suqin couldn’t endure it anymore.

Bo Jingyan ordered someone to assist her to rest.

Then, he turned to look at Xia Qingtian, who also looked pale and haggard, "Do you need to rest too?"

Xia Qingtian’s eyes were still a bit swollen, but she shook her head decisively, "No need. Those who came to attend the funeral today are all close friends of my grandfather. I’d like to see them off myself. My grandfather was very good to me, so I’d like to do something for him."

"Alright." Bo Jingyan continued to respect her decision and didn’t argue since she insisted.

However, he kept an extra watchful eye on Xia Qingtian, monitoring her condition closely.

"Jingyan, Qingtian, may peace be with you..." A familiar voice rang out.

Upon looking up, Xia Qingtian and Bo Jingyan saw Shen Yaxuan.

Bo Jingyan glanced at him expressionlessly, not showing any unusual reaction, and merely responded, "Thank you..."

Just as Shen Yaxuan was about to say something more, someone called out, "Xia Qingtian..."

Suddenly, someone called out for Xia Qingtian.

Xia Qingtian reflexively turned around and found that it was her mother-in-law, Tian Suqin, who had called out her name.

Although Tian Suqin was her mother-in-law, and it had been quite some time since they last saw each other, due to the numerous incidents that had occurred recently, coupled with Tian Suqin’s cold personality, they had not yet had a formal conversation.

Now, when Tian Suqin called her over, she thought there might be something important.

So, Xia Qingtian walked over and asked, "Mothe...Ah..."

Before she could finish calling her, she was harshly slapped across the face, leaving her cheek burning with pain.

She looked at Tian Suqin, utterly shocked, without any idea why Tian Suqin, who had previously been calm, would suddenly hit her.

Tian Suqin, whose face was normally cold, was now filled with anger and resentment. She spat out, "Don’t call me mother, you’re not worthy!"

She was still angry after slapping her, and wanted to slap her again.

Quick to react, Bo Jingyan caught her arm and pulled Xia Qingtian behind him, protecting her from the impending slap.

"Mother, what is the meaning of this?" He frowned and asked.

"You even protect her, she is the murderer who killed your grandfather!!!"

Tian Suqin’s eyes were red with anger as she stared coldly at Xia Qingtian, "Have you no conscience? Don’t you remember how good your grandfather was to you?"

Upon the mention of his grandfather, a pang of grief flashed across Bo Jingyan’s deep-set eyes.

The sudden death of his grandfather was a deep heartache to him. However, he wasn’t irrational.

"The accident was an unexpected tragedy for everyone." Bo Jingyan defended Xia Qingtian with firm conviction, "If there must be a culprit, it’s only the hit-and-run driver."

When the accident was discovered, there was only trace of the driver’s blood on the truck, but the driver had disappeared without a trace.

"Huh..." Tian Suqin looked coldly at Xia Qingtian, "You may not know it, but the hit-and-run driver was none other than Chen Momo, your best friend who’s now protected by you!"

Xia Qingtian’s face changed upon hearing this.

Chen Momo?

How could that be?

Chen Momo had been arrested by the police, and she was currently being detained, awaiting trial.

How did she suddenly become the hit-and-run driver who caused her grandfather’s death?

"Who said that?" Bo Jingyan also clearly found it hard to believe.

Tian Suqin spoke coldly, "The police called just now. They told me."

"They said that Chen Momo was likely targeting Xia Qingtian in an act of revenge. She’s still at large, they haven’t found her yet, and they advised us to be careful and not let her get away."

As she continued, her tone turned even more resentful.

"So, that woman named Chen Momo was actually targeting Xia Qingtian. The person who should have died was her. Your grandfather took the disaster for her."

"She killed your grandfather."

As she spoke, she reached out to pull Xia Qingtian from behind Bo Jingyan.

"If you remember your grandfather’s grace of nurturing you, then stop protecting this bringer of bad luck."

"She killed your grandfather, banish her from the Bo Family. Our Bo Family will never welcome her. Tell her to leave, the further away, the better."
