Chapter 417: Chapter 417 Can’t Go Soft_1

"Brother Jingyan, don’t worry." Shi Qian managed a sympathetic smile. "I won’t speak carelessly in front of Aunt Bo. Her health hasn’t been the best recently, and I don’t want her to worry."

On hearing this, Bo Jingyan immediately let out a sigh of relief.

Then, recalling what Shi Qian had just said, he asked, "What’s wrong with her health?"

Although he had lost his memory, he had investigated his past and learned that his mother had a relapse of her leukemia and had to undergo a bone marrow transplant.

Leukemia has a high recurrence rate, and he couldn’t afford to take it lightly.

"She..." Shi Qian bit her lip, looking significantly troubled. "Brother Jingyan, you should ask Aunt Bo herself. She doesn’t want me to tell you."

Seeing her like this made Bo Jingyan’s heart sink.

Without further questioning, he went straight into the old mansion.

As he entered, he saw the housekeeper, Sister Ying, about to see off the doctor.

Bo Jingyan immediately stopped the doctor and asked about Mrs.Bo’s condition.

Once the doctor understood who he was, he didn’t hesitate to answer objectively, "Madam Bo’s health is very fragile, and she is also emotionally unstable. If this continues, her disease is likely to recur."

This was precisely what Bo Jingyan was most worried about.

His eyebrows furrowed in concern. "Is there any way to improve this?"

Since Mrs.Bo had already undergone two bone marrow transplants, a third attempt may be too much for her. If her leukemia relapsed, it would spell disaster.

"At this point, family members should spend more time with her and encourage her," advised the doctor.

Bo Jingyan nodded thoughtfully.

He asked the doctor a few more questions before letting him leave.

Once the doctor had left, he went to see Mrs.Bo. Seeing her without makeup, her face pallid and haggard, his heart seemed to be gripped by a large hand.

After a few words, Mrs.Bo urged him, "Alright, it’s getting late. You’d better go now."

Before Bo Jingyan could respond, Shi Qian was quick to interject.

"Aunt Bo, you obviously want Brother Jingyan to come back and live here, to spend more time with you, to talk to you. Now that he’s finally here, why do you always want him to leave?" Shi Qian reprimanded slightly.

"Your Brother Jingyan is busy with work, he doesn’t have time to waste here. Don’t bother him." Mrs.Bo sighed in resignation.

At this, Shi Qian fell silent.

Mrs.Bo then turned to Bo Jingyan and said, "There are servants in the mansion, Sister Ying and Qianqian are here to accompany me, you can go and do your job. Don’t worry about me, I..."

Before she could finish, Bo Jingyan interrupted decisively, "Mother, say no more. I will stay at the old mansion to accompany you for a while."

"That’s perfect," Shi Qian promptly replied, "Brother Jingyan, with your company, Aunt Bo’s mood and health will definitely improve."

"Now let me help you tidy up the room you’ll be staying in."

As she spoke, she was about to get up and start cleaning.

"No need, I can do it myself," Bo Jingyan declined her offer and turned to Mrs.Bo, "You should rest today. We can discuss anything else tomorrow."

Having said this, he turned and left Mrs.Bo’s room.

In Mrs.Bo’s room, only Shi Qian and Mrs.Bo remain.

"Aunt Bo, you’re great," Shi Qian hung onto her arm lovingly.

Mrs.Bo looked at her indulgently, "Now you can tell me, why do you want me to keep Jingyan in the mansion?"

She had received a sudden call from Shi Qian before, urging her to convince Bo Jingyan to stay in the old mansion for a while.

When she asked why, Shi Qian explained that it would be better to explain in person.

Shi Qian knew that, due to a misunderstanding about An’an’s parentage and her guilt for wronging Xia Qingtian, along with the favors she owed Mrs.Bo, Mrs.Bo would side with her.

Thus, she revealed the events that transpired at the business banquet, omitting the part where she played a role in the manipulation, and giving a brief overview.

"Aunt Bo, haven’t you always wanted Brother Jingyan to divorce Xia Qingtian? This is a good opportunity, so we must not let the two live under the same roof, giving them the chance to reconcile."

Mrs.Bo remained silent in contemplation, not revealing what she was thinking.

Worried that she might soften, Shi Qian immediately clutched Mrs.Bo’s hand, saying anxiously, "Aunt Bo, you can’t be soft. People’s nature can change."

"Before, Xia Qingtian could flirt with Brother Jingyan’s good friend, even had a child with him, causing the two men to become enemies. Even now, she hasn’t mended her ways and is seducing my artist again."

"Xia Qingtian’s ways with men are too skillful. If we don’t seize this opportunity to separate them, Brother Jingyan might fall for her again, and he would be the one getting hurt. We can take advantage of Brother Jingyan’s memory loss. If they divorce, Brother Jingyan won’t get hurt again."

On hearing these words, Mrs.Bo appeared to have some realization, her eyes flashing ominously.

"The thing I hate most are those who are disloyal in love," she declared coldly, "Xia Qingtian is not deserving of sympathy. Let’s do as you said."

Shi Qian could feel the strong hatred emanate from her as she spoke.

However, she was puzzled as to the source of this hatred.

She wanted to ask, but Mrs.Bo’s pale face warned her against it.

In the end, she quietly buried her curiosity. In any case, her goal was already achieved.

"Aunt Bo, I won’t let you down," She promised Mrs.Bo.

Mrs.Bo only nodded in response.

...

Meanwhile...

Bo Jingyan was oblivious to the conversation between Mrs.Bo and Shi Qian.

At this moment, he had returned to his own room.

There was nothing to tidy up in the room, and he could go to bed right away.

After some thought, he took out his phone, found Xia Qingtian’s contact, and called her, planning to inform her that he’d be staying at the old mansion and wouldn’t be home for a while.

But the call on Xia Qingtian’s end indicated that she was on another line.

After a while, after washing up, he tried calling her again. Still, the call showed that she was on another call.

Who is Xia Qingtian talking to?

Somewhat unexpectedly, an image of Huo Qilin emerged in Bo Jingyan’s mind. His handsome face immediately displayed a stormy expression. To confirm his suspicion, he called Huo Qichen to get his brother Huo Qilin’s number.

He then dialed Huo Qilin’s number.

Huo Qilin’s phone was busy too, indicating that he was on another call.

So...

Could it be that Huo Qilin was the one talking to Xia Qingtian right now?
