Chapter 358: Chapter 358: She Fell Into a Trap_1

Bo’s mother wanted to ask for clarification, but Shi Qian was unwilling to say anything, she just kept crying.

It wasn’t until Xia Qingtian and Bo Jingyan came knocking on her door that she learned the soup Shi Qian brought was not a nourishing soup at all, but one with aphrodisiac effects.

Although she was taken aback, she still covered up for Shi Qian.

"Godmother..." Shi Qian knelt down before her with a thump, "I know my actions were disrespectful, but I couldn’t resist."

"I’ve liked Bo Jingyan since I was a child. I remember when my mother took me abroad to donate bone marrow to you, you promised me that I would marry into your family and become your daughter-in-law. You even showed me his picture."

"I liked Bo Jingyan the moment I saw him. After my mother brought me back to China, I always kept this in mind, and over time, it became an obsession."

As she said this, a fanatical look appeared on her face.

"But since my mother’s death, I lost touch with you. I thought I would never have a chance, that Bo Jingyan and I were destined to not be together. Then, you returned to China, and I saw Bo Jingyan again."

"Bo’s mother, you don’t know how happy I was when I saw him. I thought our ties were still there. But I didn’t expect that by the time I saw him, he already had someone else in his life."

"I was really devastated, but I could tell that he loves his wife. I didn’t want to cause you any trouble or ruin their relationship, so I kept my feelings hidden."

"To please Xia Qingtian, I even lied and told her that I had someone else that I liked. I was really prepared to give up, to not let anyone know my love for him."

When Bo’s mother heard this, she was touched.

She never thought that her whimsical idea would have such a great impact on a young girl.

"If that’s the case, why did you send Jingyan that soup, allowing them to catch you red-handed?" she asked, puzzled.

Shi Qian lowered her eyes, a gloomy light flashing in them.

She hadn’t expected Bo Jingyan’s self-control to be so strong that he would rather take a cold shower than touch her.

And more surprisingly, Xia Qingtian suddenly rushed over and ruined her plan.

But when she lifted her head again, Shi Qian looked innocent, "Because I know that Xia Qingtian is not worthy of Bo Jingyan."

"She clearly had Bo Jingyan, but she hooked up with Bo Jingyan’s good friend and even had a child with him. A woman like her doesn’t deserve someone as good as Bo Jingyan. Besides, I know that Bo’s mother, you don’t like Xia Qingtian, so..."

"I impulsively sent the soup to Bo Jingyan."

By the end of her story, tears had long covered her face, and she couldn’t stop crying.

Bo’s mother originally wanted to reprimand her for resorting to such underhanded tactics, but after hearing her long confession and seeing her crying so pitiably, she relented.

She began to comfort her, "Alright, stop crying..."

A slight smile appeared at the corner of Shi Qian’s mouth, but she quickly suppressed it.

She didn’t get up, but stayed on her knees and said, "Bo’s mother, I know I was wrong, but I just love Bo Jingyan too much. Please don’t be angry with me, don’t send me away, don’t abandon me."

"My mother was pregnant before marriage, and I never got to meet my father since the day I was born. Later, she also passed away, and I was left all alone."

"It was you, Bo’s mother, who appeared and let me feel the warmth of a home and the care of a family again. I don’t want to lose you. If you’re still angry with me, you can scold me or take out your anger on me, just don’t abandon me."

When Bo’s mother thought of how she let Shi Qian’s mother enter the entertainment circle, then carelessly left her in that sordid environment when she got pregnant and ruined her life, she felt extremely guilty. What’s more, both Shi Qian and her mother had saved her life.

"Alright..." Bo’s mother helped her to her feet and held her in a comforting embrace, "This matter is over. I won’t be angry with you, and I won’t send you away. If you’re willing, I’ll always be your family. Don’t worry about it."

Shi Qian hiding in Bo’s mother’s embrace couldn’t suppress a satisfied look in her eyes.

This potential crisis was smoothly resolved by her words and a few tears.

But it wasn’t enough!

Shi Qian asked in a tentative whisper, "Bo’s mother, what about Bo Jingyan..."

Bo’s mother let go of her, her tone hinting at something deeper, "Don’t think about Jingyan anymore. Although I like you and want you to marry my son, you’ve seen that his heart only has Xia Qingtian."

"If you keep insisting, I’m afraid you’re going to get hurt."

Shi Qian was stunned.

She simply hadn’t expected that after Bo’s mother knew her feelings, she wouldn’t help her think of ways to get Xia Qingtian out and herself in with Bo Jingyan. But instead—

She was trying to persuade her to give up?

A hint of displeasure rose in Shi Qian’s heart, although she did not show it.

She maintained her innocent expression, "Bo’s mother, even though I can’t let go of Bo Jingyan now, I will try."

"I hope you won’t give up on me. If I can’t control myself and do something inappropriate again, please scold me and wake me up."

"Alright," Bo’s mother agreed.

Upon hearing the words, Shi Qian finally felt a little better.

Now that Bo’s mother had agreed, if she were to ’lose control of herself’ and do something inappropriate in the future, she would have someone to clean up her mess.

...

Xia Qingtian stayed home for a couple more days to recover.

The palace drama featuring Cheng Bingbing aired two more episodes, reaching a small climax – the high point of the favored concubine’s arc.

Bingbing’s popularity shot up, she suddenly gained more attention, and she was inundated with business proposals and new drama invitations.

Xia Qingtian, as her agent, had to handle these matters and couldn’t stay at home to recuperate any longer.

After much persuasion, she finally convinced Bo Jingyan to allow her to return to work.

She was busy for several days before she finally managed to handle all the piled up tasks. She thought she could finally take a break and set aside a day to accompany An’an.

But, she received a phone call from the hospital before that, telling her Xia Guohua’s condition had worsened.

Xia Qingtian and Bo Jingyan rushed to the hospital immediately.

The doctor informed them that Xia Guohua’s condition was very severe. Conservative treatment methods could only temporarily control his condition but eventually, the disease would continue to deteriorate.

Therefore, the best treatment option to cure Xia Guohua was a liver transplant surgery.
