Chapter 335: Chapter 335: The Old Lover with Unresolved Feelings

"The Bo Group is truly interesting. An old flame returns from abroad and ends up working for Mr. Bo!"

"It looks like bankruptcy is imminent; otherwise, they wouldn’t be unable to afford having another woman around!"

Bo Yunshen glanced at Lu Xiangxiang, his eyes darkened with a sharp edge.

Was Qin Yan feeling slighted by Manman and now calling in reinforcements to get back at her?

Since when had Qin Yan become so petty?

But Qin Yan was too naive. Even if she had Lu Xiangxiang on her side, there’s no way he’d just stand by and let them bully Manman!

"Miss Lu, I wonder if Mr. Feng knows how sharp-tongued you are?"

"Instead of properly handling your own work, you use company time to meddle in someone else’s personal matters!"

Lu Xiangxiang picked an apple from the fruit basket, took a bite, and smiled. "How about Mr. Bo give him a call to find out?"

The Bo Group and the Feng Group were competitors, and besides, she had taken leave today from Old Mr. Feng with much effort!

Even if Bo Yunshen really called, she wouldn’t be afraid!

Bo Yunshen’s lips twitched, but he said nothing. He slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Yan, speaking softly. "Weren’t you going to apply medicine for me? Why are you just standing there like a fool?"

Hearing this, Qin Yan walked toward the bedside table, opened the drawer, and had just taken out the ointment when her wrist was grabbed by Lu Xiangxiang.

"Apply what medicine? Yanyan, you’re still recovering!"

"Since Bo Yunshen’s old flame is here, why don’t you come out with me and get some fresh air and rest?"

Bo Yunshen: "..."

Lu Xiangxiang grabbed her bag from the table and pulled Qin Yan along.

"Since it’s lingering emotions with an old flame, I assume Miss Lin wouldn’t mind lending Mr. Bo a hand, right?"

Qin Yan licked her lips. The oppressive air in the hospital room had made her want to leave for a while now.

Standing silently behind Lu Xiangxiang, she gave tacit approval.

Bo Yunshen shot Qin Yan a glare, his brows furrowed so tightly they seemed ready to crease.

"Director Qin, don’t forget the promise you made to my mother!"

That morning, Qin Yan had received a call from Mrs. Bo. Though half-asleep, he’d caught bits and pieces of the conversation.

"You pledged to take good care of me. What now? My mom’s not here, so you’re just planning to head out with your friend?"

"Leaving me all alone in the hospital?"

Bo Yunshen was furious.

He’d sustained these injuries for Qin Yan. And now this damned woman was actually planning to go out and have fun?

"Yunshen, how could I leave you alone in the hospital? Isn’t Miss Lin here too?"

"How about this: Miss Lin, when you’re ready to leave, could you give me a call?"

Lin Man’s expression changed.

Bo Yunshen’s words hit her hard, as though piercing her chest and making it hard to breathe.

"Mommy, Mommy! Where are you and Aunt Xiangxiang going?"

Suddenly, Xiao Tuan Zi sat up on the bed, blinking her big watery eyes, a spark of excitement in them.

Lu Xiangxiang raised a brow. "Didn’t I mention before that I’d take you to an amusement park? Want to go?"

"Aunt Xiangxiang, do you have time now?"

"Even if I don’t, I’ll make time to take you there!"

"I certainly can’t leave you at the hospital to take care of your dad, can I?"

Qin Yinyin froze. "Stay at the hospital to take care of Dad!?"

Her tone hesitated a little, and Bo Yunshen felt slightly better. At least in her mind, he was slightly more important than the amusement park!

At least it wasn’t all for nothing.

Bo Yunshen’s moment of comfort lasted less than half a minute before Lu Xiangxiang nodded and said, "Exactly!"

Qin Yinyin quickly scrambled out of bed. "Well, that means Aunt Lin Man will have to work really hard!"

Qin Yinyin put on her shoes herself and bounced over to Lu Xiangxiang, whispering, "Aunt Xiangxiang, let’s go to the amusement park!"

"The last one Dad took me to wasn’t that fun—only the roller coaster was kind of interesting. This time, let’s go to Disney, okay?"

Lu Xiangxiang’s lips curled into a bright smile.

The amusement park Bo Yunshen had taken Qin Yinyin to was a children’s park, but Qin Yinyin wasn’t your typical child!

She didn’t care much for the usual kiddie fare.

"Alright!"

But Lu Xiangxiang loved this attitude.

Perfectly on point!

"Yanyan, let’s go."

Qin Yan nodded and followed Lu Xiangxiang out. Halfway to the door, she turned back.

Bo Yunshen raised a brow, thinking that perhaps Qin Yan had reconsidered leaving with Lu Xiangxiang. "That’s more like it..."

He hadn’t even finished the word "it" before Qin Yan unexpectedly reached out, grabbed a stack of documents from the table, and said softly, "I’m going to take these useless papers to the doctor’s office to shred them."

Bo Yunshen abruptly sat up in bed.

"Qin Yan, I hope you realize that the files Xu Lin sent to the hospital for me to review could bring far more value to the Bo Group than those negligible profits your marketing department deals with!"

"You’d better think twice about everything you do!"

Qin Yan’s expression remained unchanged. She raised the files, shaking them slightly so the paper made a rustling sound. "Yunshen, with your attitude toward documents like this, you still expect others to cooperate with you?"

"Do you have any idea how long it takes to prepare a set of files? You toss them aside, show a lack of diligence, and fail to respect your collaborators!"

"Why should anyone choose the Bo Group?"

Her tone was serious. "If you claim the Bo Group has advantages or strength, that’s only because of what Dad left behind!"

After finishing, she gripped the documents and left the room directly.

Bo Yunshen remained silent, his face dark and stormy.

Although his tenure at the Bo Group wasn’t long, when he managed operations in Hong Kong, the profits he brought in were something Qin Yan could never envision in her lifetime!

And she dared to boast in front of him, dismissing his ability to run the company?

Was Qin Yan really that capable?

He wasn’t about to let go of the Bo Group’s CEO position just because of a couple of words from her!

Bo Yunshen licked his lips in frustration. He hadn’t reacted quickly enough to stop Qin Yan, and by the time he came to his senses, she was already gone.

Bo Yunshen’s brow twitched. He pulled out his phone to call Qin Yan.

Just as he dialed, the hospital room’s ringtone sounded.

Bo Yunshen tightened his grip on the phone, then suddenly hurled it to the ground.

Lin Man flinched.

"Yun... Yunshen?"

Bo Yunshen massaged his temples, his lips twitching slightly. He heard Lin Man’s voice and his expression softened momentarily.

"Yunshen, are you angry at Yanyan? You don’t want her to leave?"

Bo Yunshen’s lips twitched, forcing out a stiff smile. "Manman, I’m fine. Did I scare you just now?"

Lin Man shook her head. She held up the ointment and said gently, "Yunshen, let me help you apply your medicine?"

Bo Yunshen’s body stiffened again.

He glanced at Lin Man and said softly, "No need, Manman. Please step outside and find a male nurse for me."

"What?"
