The Cold-hearted CEO's Unwanted Bride
Chapter 293: Daddy Didn’t Hit Mommy!

Chapter 293: Chapter 293: Daddy Didn’t Hit Mommy!

Yanyan felt a pang of heartache.

She had regarded Bo Yunshen as her father and had been living in a situation akin to a single-parent family since she was little, so pledging her sovereignty to those who coveted her father was actually understandable...

Yanyan swallowed her tears and forced a gentle smile on her face, "Yinyin, you can’t say things like that, okay?"

"You can’t answer Daddy’s phone without his permission! That’s very impolite!"

Qin Yinyin nodded with tears in her eyes, her voice choked with emotion, "Mommy, if I’m polite, will Daddy stop hitting you then?"

Yanyan stroked Qin Yinyin’s head, "No, Daddy didn’t hit Mommy!"

She took Qin Yinyin’s sun-protection clothes, slipped them onto her, and quietly said, "Yinyin, be a good girl, we are going to Grandma and Grandpa’s house with Daddy!"

Qin Yinyin huddled in Yanyan’s embrace, nodding with a look of grievance.

She was very well-behaved, and this obedience had manifested itself when Qin Yinyin was still young.

Yanyan licked her dry lips and softly instructed Qin Yinyin, "Yinyin, promise Mommy that next time Daddy goes out to play with friends, you won’t follow, okay?"

Qin Yinyin looked at Yanyan with clear, contrasting pupils, "Mommy, are you talking about Lin Man?"

She tilted her head and twisted her small hands together, saying sadly,

"But Daddy said that Lin Man is his girlfriend and that they will get married in the future!"

...

Bo Yunshen stopped abruptly when he reached the underground garage of Hai Wan Xiang Xie. He furrowed his brows.

That’s not right, why should he obediently come out to drive just because Yanyan said they were going to the Bo Mansion?

Bo Yunshen turned around subconsciously—did Yanyan think she was training a dog?

He took a step and then hesitated.

No, no, it would be too obvious if he went back now!

He definitely had to go to the mansion; he couldn’t waste his fearless time stewing over his annoyance with Yanyan!

With these thoughts, Bo Yunshen entered the underground garage, drove out the car closest to the entrance, and stopped it by the flowerbed to wait for Yanyan while lighting a cigarette.

Xu Lin was at Hai Wan Xiang Xie, and Bo Yunshen also wanted to catch up on the company’s situation, so he directly took out his phone and called Zhou Ruo.

The phone had barely connected when the other side answered.

"Mr. Bo!"

Bo Yunshen responded with a low voice, asking, "How’s the company doing now?"

Zhou Ruo’s voice contained a hint of relief, "Mr. Bo, the online public opinion is under control, and Director Qin’s clarification method was very effective!"

"This morning’s stats show that after the scandal broke, Bo Group’s market value lost 8.4 billion."

"But since the clarification plan was released, the lost profits are being fully recouped!"

"Mr. Bo, this turmoil didn’t just fail to harm Bo Group, the gains we made this time are even more than the last spousal abuse scandal!"

Zhou Ruo’s voice trailed off at the end and she fell silent, instantly regretting her words. She wished she could slap herself for bringing up such an inopportune topic!

There was silence on the line as Bo Yunshen tilted his head to see Yanyan leading Qin Yinyin out of the villa.

After a long moment, he finally uttered a noncommittal "Hmm."

Yanyan was still wearing that little Chanel-style suit dress. She was not particularly tall, and as she walked over here holding Qin Yinyin’s hand, her slender figure seemed even more delicate.

But indisputably, Yanyan’s public relations skills, even Lu Yi, the head of the PR department, couldn’t match hers.

Her mind seemed like a perfect machine, always capable of finding solutions immediately after an incident occurred.

A smile tugged at the corner of Bo Yunshen’s mouth; almost as it had appeared, it faded away.

His eyes sparked as the winds rose and clouds surged—it was truly interesting. How could Qin Yan say that her relationship with him was like fire and water!

He actually still had the mood to praise Qin Yan here!

If she didn’t have some tricks up her sleeve, how could she cut through his mother’s defenses, take the child with her, and edge out Manman to sit in Mrs. Bo’s seat?

If she didn’t have some scheming and tactics, how could she have charmed the old man so, that at the slightest issue, he would scold him without a second thought?

The corners of Bo Yunshen’s mouth twitched, but this time, there was no trace of a smile between his lips and teeth.

"I know now!"

Bo Yunshen dropped four words and cut off the phone call.

Over here, Qin Yan had already opened the car door, placed Qin Yinyin in the back seat, and walked around half the car to sit in the passenger seat.

Qin Yan hadn’t yet fastened her seat belt when Bo Yunshen stepped on the accelerator. The car shot out like an arrow released from its bow!

Qin Yan, completely unprepared, was thrown forward, her forehead knocking against the car, causing her a wave of dizziness.

"Mom?"

Qin Yan shook her head and said softly, "I’m fine."

Bo Yunshen glanced in her direction, the emotion in his eyebrows faint, almost to the point of nonexistence.

If she didn’t stir up trouble in the car now, how could she tattle to the old man once they reached the Bo Mansion?

An hour later, at the Bo Mansion.

Bo Yunshen and his family of three entered, and the mansion fell silent as if there were no sounds at all.

Qin Yan led the way into the living room and saw Bo Yuanshan, wearing glasses and fiddling with his cellphone.

"Dad?"

Qin Yan called out, "How come it’s just you? Where’s mom?"

Hearing this, Bo Yuanshan turned his head and showed a faint smile upon seeing Qin Yan’s serious face, "Ah, Yanyan, your mom is upstairs, she’ll come down in a bit!"

Having said that, Bo Yuanshan returned to his cellphone.

At his age, he generally preferred newspapers with economic, military, and political news, so seeing him engrossed in his cellphone piqued Qin Yan’s curiosity.

"Dad, what are you looking at?"

Bo Yuanshan didn’t lift his head, but smiled softly and said, "Checking out today’s entertainment news."

Qin Yan’s facial expression instantly froze, and she instinctively looked towards Bo Yunshen. The man had just stepped into the living room and, upon hearing this, looked at Qin Yan with a deep and somber gaze.

He was only slightly late entering, and now Qin Yan was encouraging the old man to watch the news?

With such a commotion, the old man was bound to be angry, and in the end, wouldn’t he be the one to suffer?

Did Qin Yan eagerly wish for his wounds to heal?

He took a deep breath and led Qin Yinyin inside.

Even upon seeing Bo Yunshen, Bo Yuanshan’s expression didn’t change much, just becoming a bit more reserved.

Qin Yan furrowed her brow.

"Dad, about the things on the internet..."

Suddenly, Bo Yuanshan spoke up, interrupting her, "Yanyan, who came up with this clarification plan?"

Qin Yan paused, without answering.

Bo Yunshen snorted coldly as he lackadaisically sat down on the sofa. He had wondered why he needed to visit the old mansion?

Was it to seek favors from the old man, to see Qin Yan "rewarded for her services"?

A chill deepened on Bo Yunshen’s face, "Who else could it be? Isn’t it your beloved daughter-in-law?"

"Dad, if you ask me, with Mrs. Bo’s heavy scheming and strong PR tactics, staying in the marketing department is truly beneath her talents!"
