Chapter 197 If I could have met the lady when I was a child
He Yan was simply stating the facts, and she didn't express any emotion when she said it.
She thought that if she hadn't been found, she might really be He Yiyi.
"No, Xiaoyan, that's different."
When Bo Siheng saw her like this, he suddenly panicked.
He didn't want to lie to her, and he never imagined that his wife would be He Yiyi.
“I was in poor health at that time. Apart from the Bo family and my grandmother, I didn’t care about anything else. I did think that no matter who it was, as long as I could get married to put my grandmother’s mind at ease, it would also be good to shut those people up.”
Bo Siheng frowned, his expression full of restraint.
He felt guilty about his previous indifferent attitude.
"To me, everyone else is just a polite stranger, but you are different."
He knew he had to resolve He Yiyi's matter as soon as possible and couldn't delay any longer.
Every time he brought it up, he felt guilty towards He Yan.
"Hmm? Aren't you overreacting? I don't see anything wrong with it!"
He Yan was stunned for a moment, then touched his face with a bit of a laugh.
Her gaze also carried an unconscious flirtatious quality.
"You don't need to feel guilty. This marriage was originally mine. I didn't replace anyone. No matter how others misinterpret it, I decided to marry into this family on my own."
The process of this contractual marriage can be described as tortuous and bizarre.
However, He Yan did not feel any regret.
It was her own choice, and also destiny.
"I won't fight for what isn't mine, but I have to take what's mine."
The arrogance in He Yan's eyes stemmed from her own inner strength.
So I don't care what others say.
Bo Siheng was successfully comforted by He Yan and couldn't help but smile.
She said that getting married was her own choice.
Does this mean that she actively chose him?
Just then, Bo Jingning arrived and overheard what He Yan had said.
"This woman can steal things so brazenly? She's definitely not a good person!"
The deeper her misunderstanding of He Yan became, the less she liked her.
At the banquet.
As the host, Bo Yuanzhou still had to put on a show.
However, the confrontation just now had the opposite effect.
"Mr. Bo, when you got married, you didn't say you would hold a wedding ceremony. I wonder if you will hold one later? This is a great event for the Bo family, it can't be so low-key."
"Yes, yes, with the influence of the Bo family, most of the people in Beijing will definitely come."
The relatives are now more concerned about Bo Xilai and He Yan.
They were also testing the waters; it would be best if they could figure out the head of the family's preferences.
"Marriage is a matter between two people, and neither my wife nor I like to be high-profile."
Bo Siheng held He Yan's hand and responded with a smile.
In one sentence, those with ill intentions were silenced, and they had no choice but to change their targets.
“Miss Jingning is not young anymore. Given the status and position of the Bo family, she should definitely find a wealthy family of equal social standing. We can’t expect her to go and support the man’s family.”
“You’re wrong. I think that as long as two people truly love each other, family background is not a problem.”
Bo Jingning has her own ideas about marriage.
She glared at He Yan as she said this, expressing her dissatisfaction.
"No matter who my partner is, he can't deceive me into marriage, and he certainly can't steal me from his bride."
That's practically a direct naming of names.
The others at the table also felt a little awkward and changed the subject.
Even though He Yan was half a table away, she could feel Bo Jingning's gaze.
Although I know she's not a bad person, I'm still a little annoyed.
"Your sister doesn't have a brother complex, does she?"
She came here today to help him deal with his awful relatives, but that didn't mean he couldn't talk back to his awful sister-in-law.
Especially considering how much hostility this sister-in-law harbored towards her.
"No way! Jingning is just straightforward and spoiled."
Bo Siheng was both amused and exasperated, astonished by He Yan's thought process.
“When Jingning was little, my second uncle sent her to live with my family for a few years. There were few children in the family, and my grandmother felt sorry for her being all alone, so she asked me to take care of her more. That’s why she likes to stick to me.”
"Really? Aren't you afraid she'll have any embarrassing secrets about you?"
He Yan knew that Bo Siheng was an overly upright person.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen to marry him to repay his kindness and cure his cold poison.
She also had a little thought in her mind.
I wanted to understand different aspects of him.
"What kind of skin is considered dark? Am I not tall or handsome enough? I remember on our wedding night you praised my figure and looks, saying I was exactly your type?"
Bo Siheng had a smile on his lips the whole time, because he thought He Yan was also very innocent.
This made him secretly a little proud.
Fortunately, he was indeed good-looking, which made the lady like him.
"I'm talking about your photo. It doesn't fit your public image as President Bo!"
He Yan was actually trying to trick Bo Siheng.
Bo Siheng's smile widened.
"So, Madam wants to see what I looked like before? I have many more photos, but how can we only look at mine? I also want to see what you looked like before. How about we exchange photos?"
He felt a surge of excitement, realizing that he wasn't the only one taking the initiative.
"I don't have the photo on my phone, but I can look for it."
He Yan immediately took out her phone and tagged her junior brothers in the group, asking them to find her old photos and send them over.
She felt that it was normal for her and Bo Siheng to understand each other.
Those who have seen his won't hesitate to show him their own.
The others were still complimenting Bo Yuanzhou.
After all, they haven't taken sides yet, and as a collateral branch, they need to rely on the main family to get benefits.
He Yan quickly received photos from her junior brother.
I was probably around ten years old in the photo.
“There are no other photos, just this one of me alone. And there were no cameras in the village at that time. It was taken by someone who came to investigate, and I have kept it ever since.”
"My wife was so cute when she was a child."
Bo Siheng liked He Yan very much when he saw her in the photo; she had big eyes and a round face.
The background is a very ordinary country house, but she is well cared for.
He set the photo as his phone's screen saver.
I really wish I had met you sooner.
That way he won't regret that the time was too short.
"It's not too late to get to know each other now."
He Yan didn't understand the hidden meaning in Bo Siheng's words, and she accepted the photos he sent.
It was when I was even younger than when I took the photo with Bo Jingning, probably around fourteen or fifteen years old.
"So you've always been this cool and aloof, never smiling, since you were little."
"I love to laugh now."
Bo Siheng was happy to have He Yan by his side.
He also felt that he had changed a lot.
Bo Jingning didn't like listening to her father and his wife talk, so she couldn't help but keep observing them.
She felt that her brother had been completely deceived by He Yan.
I couldn't resist coming over to expose them.
"Do you have a job? What do you do?"
Bo Siheng's expression changed, indicating that he felt Jingning had been too willful and a bit impolite today.
His tone was a bit stern, because he felt that his sister shouldn't let He Yan suffer.
"Jingning, watch your attitude."
"I work at the He family's pharmaceutical factory, so what?"
He Yan felt no pressure at all when facing the naive Bo Jingning.
She patted Bo Siheng on the shoulder, indicating that he should mind his own business.
"Are you a doctor? I remember there's a really prestigious medical school; did you graduate from there?"
Bo Jingning felt that He Yan's stories were all fake, just to deceive her brother.
He Yan's smile remained unchanged, her expression arrogant.
"Where you graduate from is not important; what matters is your ability."
She knew that Bo Jingning must have been influenced by Bo Yuanzhou and his wife to find fault with her.
She should experience the harsh realities of life.
He Yan crossed her arms and deliberately looked Bo Jingning up and down.
"If you can graduate with acting skills like this, I don't think Neiyu is any hope."
