The Cold-hearted CEO's Unwanted Bride
Chapter 159: Is This the Cultivation You Learned from the Shen Family?

Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Is This the Cultivation You Learned from the Shen Family?

Bo Yuanshan’s face was tinged with a deep gloom.

"Always blabbering about ’bastard,’ ’wretched spawn,’ is this the kind of refinement you’ve learned from the Shen Family? Conspiring against your sisters-in-law, who taught you that? After paying respects to Yun Ci, stay inside more to avoid making a laughingstock of yourself after you go out!"

"I won’t let the Bo Family suffer this disgrace!"

Shen Ruyun truly wept this time, because after Yun Ci had died, she had remained a widow for several years, respected by both the Bo Family and others!

This was the first and only time she was publicly humiliated!

Shen Ruyun cast a resentful glance at Qin Yinyin.

It was all because of this little bastard!

If not for her, if not for this fatherless wretch, how could she have been humiliated publicly by Bo Yuanshan!

Little drag-along, she’d deal with her sooner or later!

Shen Ruyun dried her tears, covered her face, and lowered her head, hiding the madness and unwillingness in her eyes.

"Yes!"

This matter should’ve ended here, but Qin Yinyin blocked Shen Ruyun’s path, looking up at Bo Yuanshan. "Grandpa, our teacher taught us that if you do something wrong, you either apologize or get punished!"

"She hasn’t apologized to Mom yet!"

Shen Ruyun’s pupils shrank.

She had already lost face, and if she apologized to Qin Yan publicly, how could she face anyone upon returning to the Bo Family?

However, Bo Yuanshan didn’t care what Shen Ruyun thought, standing majestically on the rugged mountain path.

"Apologize!"

"Dad!?"

Shen Ruyun felt aggrieved, "I’ve already been hit, and now I have to lower my head and apologize to her? I can’t accept this! If Yun Ci were still here, he definitely wouldn’t let me suffer this indignity!"

Although Shen Ruyun was beautiful, the slap marks on her face spoiled the effect of a beauty shedding tears.

"Don’t use Yun Ci to pressure me. If he were here, he could have any woman he wanted—you two might have already divorced a hundred times over!"

Mrs. Bo frowned and glared at Shen Ruyun, "What are you crying about? Qin Yan fell and didn’t even cry! Only you have so many tears!

With no way out, Shen Ruyun could only lower her head and apologize to Qin Yan.

"Sister-in-law, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have pushed you..."

Bo Yunshen watched as Shen Ruyun, pale-faced, apologized to Qin Yan, and he clicked his tongue in wonder.

With his intervention, Qin Yan could turn her situation around—quite impressive!

His sister-in-law’s strategy was almost flawless, with the only unexpected element being Qin Yinyin!

The Director was indeed a Director, solving any problem effortlessly at the critical moment!

A flash of admiration crossed Bo Yunshen’s eyes, followed by a deepening of his gaze.

Qin Yan had offended all his sisters-in-law she could have, and he didn’t believe she hadn’t foreseen that Shen Ruyun would try something on the mountain path!

Perhaps this scenario was also a prearranged act by Qin Yan—just a bit of pain and playing the martyr could topple his overbearing sister-in-law in their mother’s heart!

Why not do it?

Thinking this, Bo Yunshen looked disdainfully at Qin Yan.

Qin Yinyin stood in front of Qin Yan, tilting her head and glaring at Shen Ruyun, childishly saying:

"You did it on purpose, pushing Mom, and I heard you—you called me a bastard just now! Mom and I will never forgive you!"

"I’m not a bastard either, I have a mom and dad!"

Shen Ruyun was nearly driven mad.

She had never before despised a child so much!

"Are you playing with me?!"

Under the watchful eyes of a crowd, Shen Ruyun’s gaze was fiercely excessive as she was repeatedly humiliated by a three-year-old child!

Even with the best composure, one couldn’t maintain face, let alone Shen Ruyun, who had no such composure to speak of and was also impulsive and irritable.

When Qin Yan saw this, she subconsciously grabbed Qin Yinyin.

The people Shen Ruyun associated with were a mixed bunch with venomous intentions, and Qin Yan didn’t want Qin Yinyin to offend Shen Ruyun too much.

"Who said you could bully my mom! Besides, the teacher said if the apology isn’t sincere, I can refuse to accept it!"

"Yinyin!"

Qin Yan chided softly, and Qin Yinyin sulked, reluctantly closing her mouth!

Shen Ruyun pushed Qin Yan, while Bo Yunshen hadn’t expected that this scene would erupt into such a spectacle!

After all, Qin Yinyin was still young and not very thoughtful in her actions and words.

Being able to embarrass Shen Ruyun in front of so many people truly proved she was Qin Yan’s daughter!

After the incident, if Qin Yan had insisted on causing a scene, it could have left a small-minded impression in the minds of everyone in the Bo family.

But it was different for Qin Yinyin; no one was expected to take a child’s words seriously!

With this alone, Qin Yan won beautifully without lifting a finger!

Mrs. Bo glanced at Shen Ruyun, trembling with anger, sighed, and then turned her gaze to Qin Yan.

She had misunderstood Qin Yan just now and felt somewhat guilty. Seeing her clothes were somewhat ragged, she pursed her lips and awkwardly spoke:

"Yanyan, how about this—I’ll have Mrs. Zhang help you downstairs, you can change clothes at the old house, and tend to your injuries as well before coming back up."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang took a step towards Qin Yan. Bo Yunshen, who was initially just glancing lightly, unexpectedly locked eyes with her worn face.

The events of the previous night abruptly surged into his mind, turning his face pale as a wave of nausea rose again.

There, following Mrs. Bo’s gaze, Qin Yan looked down and saw the tear in her white dress was awkwardly positioned at the top of her thigh, showing a large hole.

The collar was also torn, looking quite pitiful.

Qin Yan pursed her lips, lifted her legs slightly, and said, "Mom, I’m fine. There’s no need to tend to the wounds. The ritual for the third brother is important, let’s go up first!"

"Are you going to attend the third brother’s ceremony wearing this torn dress?"

Bo Yunshen was already irritable, and on hearing Qin Yan’s words, he burst out angrily, his gaze sweeping over her, sticking to her skin, as if analyzing her entire being through the thin fabric.

"Exposing arms and legs in front of living people is one thing, but how can you do the same in front of the deceased, Mrs. Bo?"

Hearing Bo Yunshen’s words, Shen Ruyun also glanced at Qin Yan and spitefully said:

"Looking like this, don’t dirty Bo Yunci’s eyes when you go up!"

"Shut your mouths! How can you speak like that?!" Bo Yuanshan barked: "Did Yanyan intentionally tear her clothes?!"

Bo Yunshen’s eyelashes flickered: "Not necessarily!"

Bo Yuanshan’s face darkened: "Yanyan has been wronged, and instead of comforting her, you’re kicking her while she’s down?"

Saying this, he angrily moved toward Bo Yunshen.

Qin Yan: "..."

Not wanting to delay the ritual for Bo Yunci because of her, Qin Yan saw Bo Yuanshan getting angry and quickly intervened:

"Dad, please calm down. Today we came to the ancestral hall to pay respects to Brother Three! Let’s not disturb the spirits of the Bo family ancestors over such a trivial matter."

She bent down and took Qin Yinyin’s hand: "Dad, I’ll go back and change my clothes first!"
