Chapter 543: Chapter 543: No Compromise_1

Originally, Bo Jingyan was in a rather good mood, but when he saw the incoming call, the warmth on his face was instantly replaced by coldness, and his body radiated a disquieting aura.

Xia Qingtian sensed his change, couldn’t help but glance at him and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Bo Jingyan didn’t answer her question, but put down his chopsticks.

"I’ll take a call outside." He said, and leaving no room for Xia Qingtian to say anything, he wore a stern face, grabbed his phone, and went outside.

Shortly after, he returned to the restaurant and began eating silently after sitting down.

Xia Qingtian swallowed the food in her mouth, raised her head to observe him, found his face darkening considerably, and perhaps because she had been with him for so long and understood him too well.

She cast only one glance and could tell that Bo Jingyan was in a very bad mood at the moment.

"Who was that call from just now?" Xia Qingtian casually asked.

She was ready for Bo Jingyan not to answer her, but surprisingly, he actually did.

"It was a call from the old house." Bo Jingyan wore a stern face and said in a cold tone, "They have something to discuss with me, they asked me to go back."

Hearing that the call was from the old house, Xia Qingtian fell silent.

Bo Jingyan’s mother had always disliked her. Moreover, they had just handled Shi Qian, and now Bo Jingyan’s mother was asking him to return. Her intention was quite clear.

She must be asking Bo Jingyan not to continue targeting Shi Qian, may even ask him to lift the ban on Shi Qian, and might even ask him to help Shi Qian regain what she had lost.

She could guess this, Bo Jingyan probably guessed it too.

Otherwise, his face wouldn’t be so sullen.

The whole matter of banning Shi Qian was mainly instigated by Xia Qingtian, but Bo Jingyan executed it. With just his orders, Shi Qian could be easily released from her predicament at any time.

But she wasn’t sure about what decision Bo Jingyan would make.

Thinking of this, Xia Qingtian’s face was washed over with a hint of sadness.

Her mind was a mess, running through various thoughts, but suddenly she felt a warmth in her hand and looked down to discover that Bo Jingyan had taken her hand at some unknown point.

She looked up at Bo Jingyan with some confusion.

As if he knew what she was thinking, he preemptively said to her without her asking, "Don’t worry, once I’ve made a decision, I won’t easily change it."

"You’re the woman I love, other people can harm me but they can’t harm you, no one can. Since Shi Qian dared to act this way, she must be prepared for my retaliation. She’s in this predicament because she brought it onto herself, she can’t blame others."

Hearing his promise, Xia Qingtian’s heart instantly warmed and she couldn’t control her emotions, gripping his hand back.

"Alright, I trust you." She nodded.

Although she didn’t want to put Bo Jingyan in a difficult position between her and his mother, but she didn’t actively persuade him to forgive Shi Qian either. She wasn’t a saint, ready to sacrifice herself for others. Especially when Shi Qian was actively harming her.

With Xia Qingtian’s trust, Bo Jingyan’s mood was somewhat lifted.

Xia Qingtian noticed this too, so she withdrew her hand, picked up the chopsticks again, picked a piece of fish for Bo Jingyan, and advised, "Alright, let’s not let Shi Qian’s affairs affect our appetite."

"Sure." Bo Jingyan obediently ate the food she had picked for him.

Subsequently, the two of them concentrated on their meals and didn’t mention the old house again.

After Bo Jingyan finished eating, he stayed in the villa for a while to enjoy some fruit and even played with An’an who had just woken up.

When An’an got tired and fell asleep again.

When Xia Qingtian began to feel sleepy, he left the villa and drove towards the old house.

He didn’t know that when he was leaving, Xia Qingtian was standing on the balcony on the second floor, watching him leave until his car disappeared into the night, only then did she retract her gaze.

...

Very soon, Bo Jingyan arrived at the old house by car.

It was quite late, but the lights in his mother’s room and study were still on.

As soon as he arrived, Yingjie came out to greet him and told him, "Young Master, the Lady is waiting for you in the study right now, I will take you there immediately."

"Okay." Bo Jingyan responded curtly, nodding his head, and followed her into the old house.

The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive all the way.

Considering Bo Jingyan’s increasingly cold face with the passage of time, and the boiling anger underneath his mother’s calm demeanor, Yingjie feared that their upcoming interaction would be a collision of forces.

Fearing a conflict between mother and son, she voiced out, "Young Master, the Lady’s health has always been poor and she’s been worried and tired over Miss Shi Qian’s affairs lately. Try not to upset her when you meet her."

There was no change in Bo Jingyan’s expression.

"If her health is poor, she should take care of herself properly and not worry about irrelevant people and meaningless things." He countered Yingjie’s words indifferently.

During their conversation, they were about to go upstairs.

Hearing Bo Jingyan’s icy, unsympathetic words, Yingjie opened her mouth, about to say something, when suddenly...

Her gaze hardened and shouted, "Lady, when did you come out?"

Bo Jingyan heard this and looked up, only to find his mother had already come out of the study and was standing at the staircase, looking down at him and Yingjie.

His mother’s usually cold face also held some displeasure, seemingly because she had heard their conversation.

Bo Jingyan’s face remained neutral in response.

It was as if he didn’t care about his mother’s thoughts and feelings at all.

Realizing this, his mother’s already bad complexion worsened a bit more.

Both mother and son exuded an overwhelming pressure, Yingjie, in the middle of them, was barely able to breathe.

Looking at Yingjie, the mother tried to make her tone more gentle, "Yingjie, you’re not needed here, go get some rest."

Then, she looked at Bo Jingyan with an icy tone, "You, come with me."

As soon as her words fell, she was the first to walk into the study.

Bo Jingyan followed.

Upon reaching the study, his mother asked directly without any hesitation, "You were behind Shi Qian’s ban, weren’t you?"

"Yes." Bo Jingyan did not deny it.

On this matter, he was not going to hide it, no matter who asked him.

Seeing him nonchalantly admit it, his mother gave a cold hum, "What exactly did Shi Qian do to offend you? Why did you ban her? If you have any complaints, you can take it out on me."

Upon hearing this, Bo Jingyan sneered.
