Chapter 369: Chapter 369: Bad Situation_1

Knowing that the mother of the Bo Family needed constant care, Xia Qingtian stayed by her side all night.

But, until midnight, she was exhausted and decided to take a nap.

Before closing her eyes, she chose to hold the mother’s hand so she could immediately notice if there were any movements.

Qingtian wasn’t sure how long she had slept, but she seemed to vaguely hear voices, which jolted her awake.

The moment she woke up, she instinctively looked towards the mother of the Bo Family.

She then saw that the mother had awoken and was talking to sister Ying, which EXPLAINS the murmurs she had heard.

"Mom..." Qingtian rubbed her sore eyes and asked with concern, "How do you feel now?"

Seeing the fatigue on Qingtian’s face and her bandaged hand, which was oozing blood, mother Bo remembered what sister Ying said about how during the seizure, her hand was bitten by Qingtian.

Due to the fear of hurting her, Qingtian had foolishly let her bite, even when the blood was spilling from her hand, she didn’t attempt to push her away.

Upon knowing that she must not be left alone before regaining consciousness, Qingtian had stayed by her side all night.

At that moment, the mother’s heart softened a bit.

However, she had been so accustomed to treating Xia Qingtian with hostility, that she found it difficult to change her attitude instantly.

"I’m fine." Her expression and attitude were a little harsh.

Qingtian had gotten used to her attitude and didn’t mind it anymore.

"That’s good." She rose from her chair, stretched her stiff body and said, "Mom, now that you’re awake, I will take my leave."

Having said that, she instinctively thought of leaving.

"Wait a minute." Mother Bo instinctively stopped her.

Qingtian turned her head and gave her a surprised look, "Mom, do you need anything else?"

Mother Bo looked a bit uneasy, "I’m hungry, as my daughter-in-law, you should stay and serve me dinner."

Considering her illness, Qingtian did not disagree.

Just before dinner, Shi Qian returned from outside. Seeing Qingtian there, she was quite surprised.

She affectionately held mother Bo’s arm, like a real mother-daughter pair, and asked, "Mother Bo, why is Sister Qingtian here?"

Mother Bo’s eyes flickered, and she used the excuse of a daughter-in-law needing to serve her mother-in-law.

Upon hearing this, Shi Qian’s brow furrowed.

Although mother Bo’s words were not polite at all, as if keeping Qingtian was only to torment her, but...

She quickly picked up on the main point of mother Bo’s words.

She said daughter-in-law!

Didn’t she vehemently deny that Xia Qingtian was her daughter-in-law before?

But now, she calls Xia Qingtian her daughter-in-law!!!

Mother Bo’s change made Shi Qian’s heart sink.

However, she didn’t show it. "Mother Bo, stop messing with Sister Qingtian. Bo’s young master loves her so much, he would certainly get angry if he knew about this."

Her words were ambiguous.

On one hand, she wanted to make Qingtian leave quickly, on the other, she was reminding mother Bo that Qingtian might come between her relationship with Bo Jingyan.

Meanwhile, lunch was ready, and the servants informed them that it was time to eat.

Remembering what mother Bo had said about serving her dinner, Qingtian remained standing instead of taking a seat.

Mother Bo frowned, "What are you standing there like a block of wood for?"

Then, she pointed to the empty seat beside her, "Sit."

Surprise flickered in Qingtian’s eyes, but not wanting to stand there, she took the seat without hesitation.

"Eat." Mother Bo commanded.

Everyone picked up their bowls and started eating.

Looking at Qingtian’s bandaged hand, mother Bo sternly used the serving chopsticks to put a piece of meat in her bowl, "Eat more, look how thin you’ve become?"

Qingtian looked up in astonishment.

Was Mother Bo showing concern for her?

Mother Bo, realizing her words were a bit strange, quickly added, "How can you take care of Jingyan like this?"

Qingtian smiled a bit resignedly; it turned out she was over-thinking it.

Mother Bo felt relieved after finding an excuse, and kept putting food in her bowl.

Shi Qian, sitting beside her with her bowl, watched as mother Bo verbally reprimanded Qingtian, but was in fact taking care of her. Her gaze suddenly darkened.

After eating, Qingtian prepared to leave the old house again.

She had already searched the old house for her ring but it wasn’t there, so she planned to look elsewhere.

This time, mother Bo didn’t stop her.

Not long after Qingtian left, brands from various international companies came to give Mother Bo their latest clothes, shoes, bags, and jewelry.

Mother Bo picked out a few suitable outfits for young people and gave them to Shi Qian.

Then she selected two more sets. As Shi Qian reached out to take the sets, mother Bo didn’t hand over the clothes to her, instead she said, "These two sets are not suitable for you, they were not picked out for you."

Shi Qian’s hand froze midair.

To avoid the awkwardness, she quickly changed the topic, "Mother Bo, are you planning to change your style by keeping these two sets of clothes?"

When facing her, mother Bo felt no hesitation in speaking her mind.

"These are for Xia Qingtian." She said candidly, "Look at her, she doesn’t know how to dress herself properly. How can she match Jingyan in this state?"

Shi Qian gasped.

What did mother Bo mean by that?

Did she accept Xia Qingtian as her daughter-in-law, and now feel she should dress better to match Jingyan? If she dresses up beautifully, would she match Jingyan?

Understanding this, Shi Qian’s heart sank.

She closed her lips tighter and asked tentatively, "Mother Bo, didn’t you dislike Xia Qingtian before? Are you planning to accept her now?"

"No." Mother Bo denied.

Just when Shi Qian was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she heard mother Bo continue saying, "I will observe her for a while longer..."

Shi Qian was stunned.

Observing her for a while meant she was considering accepting Xia Qingtian, right?

"But An’an is not the young master’s blood relative, he’s not your true grandson." She immediately reminded mother Bo, trying to rekindle her hatred for Xia Qingtian.

Mother Bo paused in picking the clothes. After thinking for a while, she slowly said, "The Bo family has money. We can afford to raise a child."

Shi Qian’s expression darkened.

She knew that the situation she feared most had happened.

But it can’t be.

Mother Bo was her biggest supporter, her solid support to compete against Xia Qingtian. She cannot let mother Bo accept Xia Qingtian.

She must find a way to make mother Bo despise Xia Qingtian again.
