Chapter 1770: Untitled
“But I’m sorry to disappoint you. Since you don’t take my words to heart, you should know this time, right? I hope you can see this news and rush back as soon as possible to settle the procedures. There’s no room for negotiation. I, Wei Li, don’t want to have anything to do with you anymore.”
After saying everything, the reporters had no need to ask questions.
Old Lady Bo explained the reason for the divorce in detail.
She had planted the seed 30 years ago, but she didn’t expect this old man to use the same trick again 30 years later.
Indeed.
Thinking about Old Master’s recent behavior, it was really a series of strange actions.
It wasn’t like some people hadn’t talked about this old man before. When one was old, they would lose their reputation and prestige.
In the past, everyone knew that it wasn’t an internationally-renowned corporation and that it had immeasurable wealth.
There were also people who sighed at how outstanding and wise the leaders of the Bo family had been.
Now, when it came to the Bo Consortium, although it was still an existence that no one could afford to offend, it was no longer the same as before. In addition to his current actions, anyone who gave the worst impression of the Bo Consortium’s leader would probably say that it was Old Master without hesitation.
...
He really had no morals at all.
When Shen Fanxing saw the news, she felt conflicted.
Grandma wanted a divorce?
This was something she had never thought of.
She even felt that because her grandmother had married the Old Master, there was still some reverence in her heart.
Since Grandma had chosen Old Master, it meant that Old Master had his merits. At the very least, it was the kind of attraction that made Grandma choose to marry him willingly.
It wasn’t that she approved of Old Master, but she didn’t want to deny Grandma.
From the beginning to the end, she had always been honest with Old Master. She had never thought of judging him in detail.
It was all out of respect for Grandma.
Everyone had their own thoughts and persistence, but they didn’t expect Grandma and Grandpa to be so divided.
It had actually reached this stage.
The old man had always cared a lot about his reputation, but in his seventies...
After being together for more than 70 years, she was more or less the reason why they had reached this stage.
How could her emotions not be complicated?
She looked up at Lou Ruoyi. “...Mom, Grandma really...”
“Yes, Old Master Ren has been magnanimous until now. If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t have made do with him for more than 30 years. Of course, if Old Master Ren hadn’t given up and I hadn’t given birth to Jinchuan, your grandmother wouldn’t have persisted until now. Back then, I was just like you. I almost lost my child and I was the victim, but I was still worried that the two of them would really end up in an irreversible state because of me. Feeling guilty, I said a few pertinent words. I don’t know how effective my words are, but I advise you not to express any attitude towards this matter. The old lady has lived more than any of us. There are some things that don’t need you or any of us to make decisions for her.”
Shen Fanxing pursed her lips in agreement.
‘Yes.’
This was Grandma’s own business. None of them had the right to interfere with all the decisions.
After all these years, she felt that she had to settle the matter between her and Old Master properly.
No matter how it ended.
There was indeed no room for him to interfere in this matter.
–
Bo Qifeng was still in City H. The matter of the international summit was handed over to Bo Yuelin while he locked himself in the hotel. It wasn’t that he didn’t take Wei Li’s call to heart, but he was afraid to face something.
When everything was settled, he finally realized what he had done from the start.
It also reminded him of the reason why Wei Li almost divorced him 30 years ago.
From the day he took over the Bo Consortium, he felt that no one or anything was more important than the Bo Consortium.
Wei Li seemed to know him well and had always agreed with his decision.
This included how to nurture her sons. No matter how much they suffered, she would support him silently.
She could be strong and help pave the path for the children in the future. She could also endure the pressure that ordinary people could not bear.
But he had forgotten that she was still alive.
He was someone with a bottom line.
From Si Chen’s relationship 30 years ago, he knew that her bottom line was the happiness of the children.
This was the only thing that no one could touch.
No matter how strict the family’s upbringing was, she could accept it. The child was from the Bo family, but to her, he was just her child.
These were the words she had said to herself at the top of her lungs back then. That confrontation between the two of them was probably the most nervous and angriest she had ever been in her life.
He had compromised back then, probably because her attitude had shocked him.
However, this time, he felt that things were different. On one hand, he had compromised once back then. This time, he shouldn’t be the one to compromise.
Moreover, he was not only doing this for the Bo family, but also for Jinchuan.
Unexpectedly, things had come to this.
Divorce?
He was in his seventies and was about to die. He couldn’t afford to lose face.
Hence, he had been hiding in City H until now, afraid that she would really mention this when he returned.
He understood her temper. All these years, she had moved out of HK and was alone in the country. There was already a problem with their interaction.
Now that he had chased her from HK to Ping Cheng, he was looking forward to the day when she would think it through and return to that family.
Yet...
He closed his eyes. Now, the past had exhausted him.
She was silent for a long time when the door was suddenly opened.
Bo Yuelin walked in with an ugly expression. He looked at Old Master Bo and said, “Father...”
Old Master Bo frowned. “Why are you so flustered? What happened?”
Bo Yuelin said sternly, “It’s Mother. She held a press conference in Ping Cheng City and has already... sued you to the court.”
Old Master Bo’s face darkened. “A press conference?”
“Okay,” Bo Yuelin replied as he handed the phone to Old Master.
After watching the video of the press conference, the old man’s hand trembled non-stop as his face contorted in anger.
“She actually... actually...”
Bo Yuelin pinched the space between his eyebrows. “This matter has a huge impact on the Bo Consortium. There’s also the rest of the Bo family... Father, do you want to go back and visit Mother now...”
Old Master Bo’s face darkened, but he sat there silently.
Bo Yuelin continued, “If you don’t appear, Mother will be furious. If this drags on, there might be no way to salvage the situation...”
“Alright, that’s enough! Leave me alone!”
The old master suddenly growled, his deep voice filled with anger and heaviness.
Bo Yuelin pursed his lips tightly and his ugly expression became even more indescribable.
He walked out with a dark face, leaving the old man alone in the room.
Standing outside the door, he suddenly sneered.
She felt that everything about her mother was ridiculous.
His father was a joke now, and so was he.
She had spent a lot of effort to obtain it, but it was ignored.
He had worked hard for it, but now, he was a yes-man who was not respected.
If it was his brother standing here today, would his father speak to him in such a tone?
‘I won’t.’
No matter how Big Brother disobeyed him, he wouldn’t treat him like this.
What did he do wrong?
He was careful in everything and had to consider him first. In the end, he couldn’t get any trust or respect from him.
What was he so persistent about?
Perhaps no matter how well he did, he would never see it.

Old Master Bo sat alone in his room, overlooking the traffic outside the window. His face was stern and his brows were furrowed.
The temperature outside was not high, but there was enough sunlight. Through the thick tempered glass, only the warmth shone on him.
However, his hands on his knees were trembling uncontrollably. He didn’t seem to notice it as his gaze remained on the window.
There was no turning back now?
Could he go back now?
When he saw the news, he was furious.
For him to be able to hand over the Bo Consortium without any losses in his life, he had done nothing wrong. At the very least, he did not destroy the Bo Consortium.
Jin Ge had lived his entire life, but in the end, he had lost all the dignity he had accumulated.
His most satisfied son and most satisfied grandson had defied him one after another. In the end, even his wife had never understood him. In the end, he had even made a fool of himself when he was on the verge of death.
After living his entire life, he actually wanted a divorce?
How ridiculous...
Everyone wanted to disobey him. No one wanted him to have an easy time...
She closed her eyes and looked calm, but her body was still trembling.
—
In the end, Lou Ruoyi and the rest went to the old lady’s residence. After all, they couldn’t turn a deaf ear to such a huge incident.
When the old lady saw them, her reaction was calm. She even greeted Xu Qingzhi happily.
When Lou Ruoyi arrived, she bought some fruits and went into the kitchen to prepare a fruit platter. She glanced at Lai Rong.
Lai Rong went to the kitchen. Lou Ruoyi’s hands didn’t stop moving. As she peeled the fruit, she said, “I see that the old lady is in a good state. I feel that something is amiss.”
Lai Rong washed her hands and came to help. Upon hearing this, she sighed.
“No matter what, it’s still the same thing. The two of them have been together for decades. How can they not feel anything?”
Lou Ruoyi placed the peeled fruit in her hand aside and pursed her lips tightly. “Aunt Lai, if you were me or Fanxing, what role do you think we should play now? Everyone says that we should persuade and not persuade a divorce. Should we do the same?”
Lai Rong paused and shook her head with a sigh. “Old Madam is determined this time. Since she has made up her mind, there’s no turning back.”
Lou Ruoyi nodded thoughtfully, but the gloominess between her brows did not dissipate.
After arranging the fruits, Xu Qingzhi and Shen Fanxing chatted with the old lady. The atmosphere was good, but the content had nothing to do with today’s press conference.
She didn’t say a word.
“Aiyo, I’m waiting for my two great-grandchildren to be born now. I really want to live for another few decades. That way, I can watch my two great-grandchildren grow up, fall in love, get married, and give birth to a few great-grandchildren for me.”
Fanxing smiled faintly. “I will. I’ll have to trouble you to take care of them in the future.”
The old lady smiled happily. “Of course! Who else can I take care of my great-grandson?”
After placing the plate of fruits on the coffee table, Xu Qingzhi went forward and handed an apple to the old lady. “Grandma... no, it should be my son’s future in-law. Eat first.”
“Aiyo, you want me to give my precious great-granddaughter to your family with just an apple?”
“If you don’t want to eat it, it’s still mine. It’s a waste not to eat it.”
The old lady put the fruit into her mouth and snorted. “You’re the smartest.”
“Hehe... For my son’s future happiness, why should I worry?”
“You’re such a chatterbox.”
Shen Fanxing bent down to eat a grape.
The few of them had lunch together and left without mentioning this matter again.
In the car, the carefree atmosphere in front of the old lady had changed. The atmosphere was solemn.
“Looking at Grandma Bo, she seems to be fine,” said Xu Qingzhi. Perhaps she could understand that the old lady’s current mood was similar to hers.
All her expectations were placed on her great-grandson. Just like her, as long as the child was born, nothing was more important than the child.
She had already had a man, but her life was still moving forward. Children were the deepest bond.
Lou Ruoyi looked out of the car window and sighed deeply.
“To her, I’ve personally ended this decades-long companionship. Her heart isn’t as carefree as it seems.”
Shen Fanxing remained silent.
Lou Ruoyi paused and turned to look at her. “Don’t you have anything to say about this?”
Shen Fanxing pursed her lips and said, “My opinion shouldn’t be that important anymore.”
Lou Ruoyi raised an eyebrow and said, “Everyone says that it’s better to reconcile than to divorce. You don’t seem to care about this matter today or even in the future.”
“Since Grandma has made a decision, she shouldn’t be easily swayed by our words. She’s the one who has lived with Old Master for her entire life. If she couldn’t tolerate it anymore, she wouldn’t have made such a choice today. Moreover, she didn’t leave any way out for herself, including Old Master.”
She was determined to announce the divorce in front of everyone.
All that was left was to see who was more unyielding between her and the Old Master.
However, with the old man’s chauvinistic personality, he would probably agree in a fit of anger for the sake of his pride.
