Chapter 435: Chapter 435: I Have a Three-Year-Old Daughter
"Hmm."
Fu He chuckled lightly, ordered a dish, asked for Qin Yan’s opinion, and then ordered a few more dishes, closing the menu.
The environment in the private room was very serene, not as large as the one Bo Yunshen used for gatherings, making it more suitable for a date between two people.
They chatted for a while. Fu He wasn’t the kind of reclusive genius; he had a broad knowledge base. Even though they weren’t in the same field or industry, Fu He managed to keep the conversation lively.
The food arrived, and adhering to the principle of not speaking while eating, the private room fell into silence.
Qin Yan had a small appetite and put down her chopsticks early.
Fu He asked in a low voice, "Are you full?"
Qin Yan nodded.
"Shall we go for a walk?"
Qin Yan hesitated for a moment and then clarified the topic: "Senior Fu, it’s like this, I don’t know if the teacher has told you about my situation. I’m Bo Yunshen’s wife, currently in the process of divorce, and I have a three-year-old daughter."
"I’m sorry for taking up your time, but I don’t have any other intentions right now."
Just as Fu He was about to speak, there was a knock on the private room door, and both of them turned. Shen Chun walked in.
Qin Yan narrowed her eyes a bit. He took two steps to stand in front of Qin Yan: "Mrs. Bo, I’m truly sorry. During the class reunion just now, I spoke out of turn and offended you. I heard you were here, so I came specifically to apologize..."
Qin Yan, sharp as always, immediately caught the key point in Shen Chun’s words: "Heard? Heard from whom?"
Shen Chun stammered.
The only ones who knew about Qin Yan and Fu He’s presence here were the teacher. This dinner, which could be considered a "matchmaking" event, was arranged by the teacher. Surely, he couldn’t have told Shen Chun, deliberately disrupting their mood?
"I..."
Shen Chun stammered, awkwardly changing the topic, "Mrs. Bo, today is our class reunion. Everyone is in the room opposite. Would you like to say hello?"
With the conversation reaching this point, Qin Yan instinctively glanced back at Fu He. The man stood up and said softly, "Let’s go together. My mom told me to keep an eye on my dad to prevent him from drinking."
Qin Yan was grateful for Fu He’s kindness and nodded.
The two of them went out together and entered the private room across the hall.
Everyone was indeed there, except for Bo Yunshen. Even Lin Man was there. Qin Yan sat down beside the teacher and exchanged a couple of words with him.
Suddenly, Lin Man interjected, "Yanyan, isn’t Yinyin in the hospital after a car accident? Both of you and Yunshen are here for the gathering, who’s taking care of Yinyin?"
Qin Yan lifted her eyelids and stared at Lin Man with a dead gaze.
She twitched her eyelid, took a deep breath, and smiled, "And Yanyan, why are you with Senior Fu?"
The news of Bo Yunshen and Qin Yan’s divorce had not been made public, leading to changed glances directed towards Qin Yan.
Was the denial of divorce, clarified last time, false?
Or was it that the waters of the wealthy were so deep, with Qin Yan and Bo Yunshen each doing their own thing during their three years together?
Qin Yan’s lips moved, "What do you want to say?"
"Lin Man, aren’t you tired of beating around the bush?"
Lin Man’s eyes deepened as she looked at Qin Yan, silent but smiling.
As Qin Yan gazed at Lin Man, countless feelings of hatred grew within her heart. Lin Man, Lin Man, she easily destroyed everything she had painstakingly built, nearly costing Yinyin her life.
In such a public setting, she wouldn’t seek trouble with Lin Man, yet this woman dared to approach her, seeking attention?
"What, hoping to catch me in an affair as evidence? Eagerly waiting for Yunshen and me to divorce?" Qin Yan spoke casually, "What’s the use? Even if we do divorce, the next Mrs. Bo won’t be you!"
Lin Man clenched her palm tightly, the sharp pain nearly causing her to lose her composure.
She didn’t want to be led around by Qin Yan!
Nor could she let Qin Yan lead her around.
"Yanyan, what foolishness are you speaking? Yunshen and I have long had no connection. Is it that you can’t tolerate me?"
Qin Yan sneered, suggesting that it wasn’t her who couldn’t tolerate Lin Man, but rather Lin Man who couldn’t tolerate her.
She glanced mildly at Lin Man.
Shen Chun chuckled as he glanced at Lin Man. She wasn’t bad-looking, but with Qin Yan’s gemlike charm in the fore, Lin Man’s face really couldn’t compare.
Honestly, Shen Chun once joked about Bo Yunshen’s taste after learning of his relationship with Lin Man.
What was it, dropping a watermelon to pick up a sesame seed?
Looking at Lin Man now, not only was she not good-looking, but also had a bad heart!
"Miss Lin, what are you saying? If Mrs. Bo couldn’t tolerate you, would you still be sitting calmly in the private room, sneering at her?"
Lin Man choked.
Shen Chun was a seasoned player in matters of romance, knowing best how to coax women, and more importantly, how to embarrass them.
"And saying there’s nothing left with Mr. Bo, yet you come back, appearing frequently on newspaper front pages with him, trying to gain fame for a debut?" Shen Chun’s tone grew increasingly malicious, "Miss Lin, you really pick your people well!"
Shen Chun’s words were undeniably loaded with meaning.
Lin Man turned her head, pausing on his face for a moment before letting out a soft laugh, "Yanyan, you’ve misunderstood me."
With that, she picked up her bag and stood, saying, "Since I’m not welcome here, I won’t be an eyesore. I’ll leave now. Goodbye, teacher."
Lin Man brushed past Qin Yan’s shoulder and left the private room.
Qin Yan let out a low laugh.
She had little interest in the reunion, leaving the private room early.
Fu He had to stay and watch over the teacher, so she walked out alone, took a few steps, turned a corner, and then felt a sharp pain in her neck, losing consciousness.
...
In the top-floor presidential suite, Bo Yunshen didn’t know how many cigarettes he had smoked, the ash covering the floor, falling on his shiny leather shoes.
His eyes were bloodshot.
He was waiting—the incident from eleven years ago was already under investigation by Bo Yunshen’s people.
Bo Yunshen merely wanted to understand first. The speculation today was a severe blow to him.
When the phone rang, Bo Yunshen reached for it, finding a document had been sent to his phone.
The results of the investigation were less clear than Bo Yunshen had anticipated. There wasn’t even a photo of him and Qin Yan together, so the outcome was somewhat unsatisfactory.
Bo Yunshen narrowed his eyes, making a call.
The private investigator picked up, and Bo Yunshen said, "I paid you so much money, and you give me this kind of perfunctory answer?"
"Mr. Bo, the traces of the incident from eleven years ago have been erased."
"You asked for the story of your relationship with Qin Yan, but not even a single photo was found. On the other hand, there are countless pictures detailing your acquaintance and courtship with Miss Lin. Do you want those?"
Bo Yunshen cursed lowly and hung up the phone.
If even he couldn’t find out, then the number of people who could act must be small.
Or rather, Bo Yunshen could only think of one person, and that was the old man, Bo Yuanshan.
