Chapter 621: Chapter 621: She is not a pushover_1

Xia Qingtian couldn’t help but swallow, "Bo Jingyan, are you kidding me?"

Bo Jingyan let out a light chuckle.

Instead of answering Xia Qingtian’s question, he countered, "What do you think?"

Xia Qingtian felt the topic was slightly dangerous and decided to skip it, "Let’s stop talking about such boring things. Get up. I’m hungry and want to eat."

Hearing this, Bo Jingyan did not continue to make it difficult for her, helping her out of bed.

Then, the two prepared to go to the cafeteria for a meal.

However, they hadn’t yet got to the cafeteria after leaving the ward, when Bo Jingyan abruptly stopped.

Following behind him, Xia Qingtian didn’t have time to brake and crashed into his back. Once again, her forehead suffered. She covered her nose, wincing in pain.

"Bo Jingyan, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly stop?" She asked, her voice nasal from clutching her nose.

Bo Jingyan didn’t say anything. His muscles were all tensed, clearly in a state of high alert and readiness.

Xia Qingtian had never seen him like this before. She felt it was a bit strange, then followed his gaze over, asking, "Bo Jingyan, why..."

Before she could finish, she understood why Bo Jingyan had suddenly changed.

Two people were standing in the hallway, perfectly blocking their way to the hospital cafeteria. Those stopping them were none other than Shi Qian and Bo’s mother.

At this moment, Shi Qian and Bo’s mother were staring at her with malevolent expressions.

Xia Qingtian knitted her brows but before she could say anything, Shi Qian impatiently said with a scornful tone, "Sister Qingtian, you’ve already divorced Brother Jingyan. Why are you still pestering him?"

At the end of her words, a trace of dark malice flashed across Shi Qian’s eyes.

If it weren’t for Shen Junru informing her that Xia Qingtian and Bo Jingyan were back together, she would still be in the dark.

In order to prevent her and Bo’s mother from disturbing their world of two, Bo Jingyan actually told them that he was going on a business trip abroad and would not be back for about a week.

"Shi Qian, shut up!" Bo Jingyan warned coldly.

Indeed, he had divorced Xia Qingtian, but even he himself was constantly evading the fact. Now, with Shi Qian mentioning it again, he felt that Shi Qian was deliberately poking at his wounds.

Shi Qian retreated behind Bo’s mother, stubbornly saying, "What I said is true!"

After speaking, to find an ally to help her, she shook Bo’s mother’s arm and complained, "Mother Bo, don’t you think what I said makes sense?"

Bo’s mother’s icy eyes landed on Xia Qingtian.

She said nastily, "Qianqian is correct. Since you’ve divorced, you should keep your distance. If you’re really desperate for a man, I can introduce some to you. Ten or twenty, no problem at all."

Upon hearing this, Xia Qingtian pursed her lips.

Bo’s mother’s words were just short of calling her shameless and promiscuous, implying she couldn’t live without a man, so she would introduce ten to twenty men to her.

Her words were harsh and cruel.

They would infuriate anyone who heard them. However, more than anger, Xia Qingtian felt surprise. In her impression, though Bo’s mother didn’t like her, she was an elegant and dignified lady.

Yet now she had become so vicious, no different from the malicious mothers-in-law she often saw in online videos.

The difference from her past self was striking.

Xia Qingtian was not a pushover. Previously, she was respectful due to Bo’s mother being her mother-in-law.

Now that she and Bo Jingyan were divorced, in her eyes, Bo’s mother was merely an elder she knew. If she had to swallow this insult, then she would truly be a doormat to be ordered around.

"Auntie, you..." Xia Qingtian opened her mouth, preparing to fight back.

However, Bo Jingyan didn’t give her that chance. He spoke up to defend her, "Mom, it’s me who insisted on being with Qingtian, it has nothing to do with her."

"Furthermore, as you said, I’ve already divorced Qingtian. She’s no longer your daughter-in-law, or even your junior. You gave birth to me, so you can vent your grievances on me. It doesn’t make sense to direct them at someone unrelated and who has never received any favor from you."

"The only one you have the right to criticize and educate is me. Please stop being unreasonable."

Bo’s mother often prided herself on being well-mannered and reasonable.

Bo Jingyan’s words, however, effectively shut down her argument.

She opened her mouth, unable to utter a word.

Seeing this, Shi Qian felt a bit anxious.

Knowing that Xia Qingtian and Bo Jingyan were in the hospital, she had immediately brought Bo’s mother over. She despised Xia Qingtian but didn’t want to offend Bo Jingyan by scolding her directly.

However, it would be different with Bo’s mother. Regardless of how outrageous she was, considering that she was his mother and her cancer had relapsed, he would not dare to rebuke her. Instead, Xia Qingtian would have to bear it.

She had not anticipated Bo Jingyan’s unexpected response.

His calm statement had effectively silenced Bo’s mother.

Shi Qian still hoped that Bo’s mother could serve as her mouthpiece, so she quickly tried to remedy the situation, "Brother Jingyan, how could you talk to Mother Bo like this? She is just considering your best interests."

Next, she spoke to Bo’s mother, "Mother Bo, please don’t take Brother Jingyan’s words to heart. He is just being deceived."

As for who was deceiving him, even though she didn’t name names, no one in the room was a fool. They would understand.

"Enough!" Bo’s mother looked a bit pale.

Bo Jingyan’s words indeed had awakened her. She and Xia Qingtian were no longer relatives; her etiquette did not allow her to vent her anger at an innocent person like a shrew.

"Mother Bo..." Shi Qian wanted to persuade her.

Bo’s mother didn’t speak, merely gave her a cold look.

Shi Qian immediately fell silent, not daring to completely infuriate her. After all, Bo’s mother was her biggest supporter now; she couldn’t lose her.

She could only console herself that she had not come in vain this time if she could drive Xia Qingtian away.

With this in mind, she lowered her head, speaking softly in her own defense, "I said all that for you and Brother Jingyan’s benefit. I meant nothing else."

Although Bo’s mother didn’t say anything, her expression softened a lot.

She patted Shi Qian’s hand as a way of calming her emotions.
