Chapter 94: Chapter 94 What Skill Is There in Fooling an Old Man?!
Qin Yan sighed deeply. Throughout the day, she had faced parents at the kindergarten making things difficult for her, she almost got trampled after being trapped outside the school gates, and then there was dealing with Bo Yunshen.
Qin Yan felt utterly exhausted.
She pinched the bridge of her nose, silenced herself, and shrunk into the car seat, no longer wanting to provoke Bo Yunshen’s ire.
The car smoothly made its way to the Bo Mansion.
The estate was vast, with the villa’s entrance adorned with meticulously groomed, precious greenery and a small fountain placed right in front of the main gate, surrounded by nameless flowers.
Qin Yan got out of the car and walked over to the passenger side to lift Qin Yinyin down.
Then she led the ever-curious Qin Yinyin up the villa’s front steps.
Bo Yunshen walked ahead; from a distance, the three of them really did look like a family of three.
Qin Yan took a deep breath, reining in her unrealistic thoughts and entered the grand doors of the mansion.
Qin Yan kept her head down while leading Qin Yinyin inside; she didn’t pay any attention to the inside of the villa.
"Aiyo, Yunshen’s little sister-in-law! Your second sister-in-law and I have been waiting here for over three hours for you; what’s going on? Why have you just returned now?!"
The sound of complaint startled Qin Yan, freezing her in place.
She suddenly looked up and saw Shen Ruyun standing in the middle of the living room, on the intricately patterned carpet.
Bo Yunshen’s third sister-in-law.
Qin Yan furrowed her brows and glanced towards the sofa, where Jiang Xue sat, wearing a high-end Chanel dress and elegantly styled hair—Bo Yunshen’s second sister-in-law.
Seeing these two women there took Qin Yan by surprise, and she glanced at Bo Yunshen.
Hadn’t he said that only Mr. and Mrs. Bo would be in the mansion?
What were Jiang Xue and Shen Ruyun doing here?
Noticing Qin Yan’s gaze, Bo Yunshen turned his head to meet her eyes, his lips curling into a mocking, sly smile.
Qin Yan shuddered.
That expression from Bo Yunshen said it all!
The presence of Shen Ruyun and Jiang Xue here—if it was unrelated to Bo Yunshen, Qin Yan really wouldn’t believe it!
He had never hidden his disdain for her and knew she didn’t get along with these three sisters-in-law of his—it might well be that Bo Yunshen had called them back just to upset her!
Taking a deep breath, Qin Yan stepped in front of Qin Yinyin to shield her and greeted them with a dull voice, "Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law!"
Jiang Xue ignored her, but Shen Ruyun approached, giving Qin Yan a once-over and said, "Little sister-in-law, not to criticize you, but you’re a daughter-in-law of the Bo Family. How can you still dress so shabbily? Out there in public, a daughter-in-law is also the Bo Family’s face. Sooner or later, you’ll lose all our respectability!"
Shen Ruyun’s last two sentences were muttered under her breath, but she didn’t speak softly; Qin Yan wasn’t deaf, she heard it all!
She didn’t even flinch, going so far as to steady the restless Qin Yinyin with a hand.
Bo Yunshen raised an eyebrow at the sight.
He was eager to see how long Qin Yan’s composed demeanor would last when all three of his Medusa-like sisters-in-law joined the fray.
Wasn’t Qin Yan very capable?
Wasn’t she adept at sweet-talking her way into favor? It’s no skill just to charm an old man!
He had invited all three sisters-in-law back, just so Qin Yan wouldn’t feel lonely today!
"Third sister-in-law, I’m wearing Bo Group’s uniform! With so many employees at Bo Group, whom are you looking down on? Are you disrespecting Yunshen, or perhaps our father?"
Shen Ruyun snorted through her nostrils and said, "Huh! You still have the nerve to mention Bo Group. Youngest sister, what’s been going on lately? We’ve been bombarded with news about Yunshen! One moment it’s about a young model, the next it’s about spousal abuse. You used to be so good at cleaning up Yunshen’s messes, and now you’re slacking!"
Perhaps touching on a topic of interest for Jiang Xue, the sophisticated woman turned her head to glance at Qin Yan and said, "Exactly! Playing with a young model is one thing, it can even boost his public presence. But domestic abuse... geez, Bo Group’s stocks took a nosedive. It may not hurt you, but it pains me!"
"That’s right! Sixty billion evaporated in one day! Youngest sister, if you can’t handle this, you’ll have to compensate me!"
Qin Yan’s temples throbbed violently.
She knew that Bo Yunshen’s three sisters-in-law had stock in Bo Group.
After Bo Yunshen’s three brothers died successively of cancer, each having been married, none of his sisters-in-law showed any inclination to remarry and leave the Bo Family. They all nobly claimed they would remain widows for Bo Yunshen’s brothers.
Subsequently, Mr. Bo decided to allocate them shares in Bo Group!
Whether their steadfastness was genuine or they harbored ulterior motives, only those three women really knew.
Qin Yan pressed her brow together, speaking gently and amiably, "Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, the public relations department is already discussing the details for clarification. Bo Group has deep roots in Tong City and dominates the entertainment industry. It won’t crumble that easily!"
As Qin Yan spoke, she led Qin Yinyin towards the living room sofa. Bo Yunshen was lounging comfortably on an armchair, holding his phone without showing what he was looking at. His lips curled into a casual smile.
Seeing Qin Yan talking while walking over, Bo Yunshen sneered softly.
Did Qin Yan really think she could dismiss his sisters-in-law with just a sentence or two?
Or did Qin Yan plan to endure silently, waiting for Mr. Bo to arrive later and then try to sweeten up Shen Ruyun and the others?
After all, his brothers had been gone for many years, and his three sisters-in-law held considerable status in the Bo Family. Not to mention speaking disparagingly of Qin Yan here today; even if they got physical, Qin Yan might not win over Shen Ruyun and Jiang Xue in front of Mr. Bo!
A flash of intrigue crossed Bo Yunshen’s eyes as he sat among the cluster of women, his handsome face betraying nothing.
"Fourth sister, don’t you think your words are a bit too much? Just because Bo Group won’t collapse, does that mean sixty billion isn’t real money? Second sister-in-law and I have no one to rely on, living on edge just to avoid shaming the Bo Family. Now to lose so much money for no reason, how do you expect us to live on?" Shen Ruyun persisted, and as soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Xue chimed in: "Third sister-in-law is right! Youngest sister, look, both our husbands passed away early, and we don’t have children. When we get old, there’ll be no one to support us. We’re counting on this little bit of money that you and Yunshen don’t care about to make a living. You need to give us a satisfactory answer for this incident!"
"Exactly, exactly! We’re all alone and vulnerable. Youngest sister, don’t think of bullying us. The scandal is on you, and you should bear this loss! This kind of thing already happened once two years ago; we can’t be expected to foot the bill for your mistakes every time!"
"Sixty billion is enough for second sister-in-law and me to invest in a hundred nursing homes, enough to see us through to our last days!"
Shen Ruyun and Jiang Xue kept harping on, their chatter incessantly ringing in Qin Yan’s ears until her head ached!
