PFC Chapter 120 won't do; everyone must be treated equally.
Chapter 120 won't do; everyone must be treated equally.
Seeing that Xu Ruoqing had nothing more to say, Old Master Bo impatiently waved his hand, dismissing all the irrelevant people.
The room fell silent instantly, with only heavy breathing remaining.
The old man's gaze swept back and forth between Shen Feiwan and Xu Ruoqing, his face so gloomy it seemed as if water could drip from it.
"Look at you all! What kind of behavior is this! Fighting like shrewish women in public, you've completely disgraced your host family! Today I must punish you properly so you'll learn your lesson!"
As the old man spoke, he turned to Xu Ruoqing and scolded her, "Ruoqing, as the eldest sister-in-law, you have been married into the Bo family for decades, yet you have set a bad example. You should stop going to the family charity foundation recently and stay home to reflect on your actions. I will arrange for someone else to take over."
Upon hearing this, Xu Ruoqing's face turned deathly pale, and her lips trembled uncontrollably.
Despite being married into the Bo family for so many years, she has never been able to secure a decent position within the Bo Corporation. Even the Bo Garden has been handed over to the housekeeper for management by the old master.
The position of chairperson of this charitable foundation was one of the few symbols of power she held in the Bo family, but now it was about to be taken away. She was filled with anger and resentment, but when she met the old man's stern gaze, she could only swallow these emotions.
She lowered her head unwillingly, her voice barely audible, "Dad is right, I have no objection."
The old man snorted coldly and then turned his anger towards Shen Feiwan, "You are even more disrespectful to your elders, openly resorting to violence against your sister-in-law. You are too vulgar! If you weren't pregnant, I would have made you kneel down and reflect on your actions today!"
Shen Feiwan didn't care. She nodded obediently, without a trace of dissatisfaction in her tone, "Dad, I know I was wrong. I was too impulsive just now. I accept this punishment. Just remember this for now, and I will definitely accept the punishment properly after I give birth."
The old man was fairly satisfied with Shen Feiwan's attitude, nodding slightly before adding, "You still need to apologize to your sister-in-law."
Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Feiwan turned to face Xu Ruoqing, her face full of apology, "Sister-in-law, I was wrong today, I shouldn't have hit you, please don't take it to heart."
But from an angle the old man couldn't see, she gave Xu Ruoqing a defiant look, a look that clearly conveyed, "What can you do to me?"
Xu Ruoqing understood. She was so angry that she trembled all over, but she was helpless. She could only force a stiff smile and pretend to be magnanimous, saying, "We are all family. Now that we have talked things out, don't take it to heart."
"Hmm." The old man was satisfied with the current situation. "That's more like it. Go back and reflect on your actions."
"Okay, Dad." Shen Feiwan readily agreed, but there was no way she would reflect on her actions.
If she gets the chance next time, she'll definitely teach Xu Ruoqing a lesson.
Xu Ruoqing was so angry she was almost fainting. Back in her room, she didn't dare throw anything in a fit of rage, afraid the noise would reach the old man's ears. She could only silently vent her anger by cutting up the blankets and pillows on the bed.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Bo Junxing returned from outside.
When he pushed open the door, Shen Feiwan was having a lively conversation with Chen Youen on the phone.
Upon seeing Bo Junxing, Shen Feiwan immediately ended the call and put her phone aside.
Bo Junxing walked towards Shen Feiwan while unbuttoning his shirt.
He smelled faintly of alcohol, and Shen Feiwan noticed it as soon as he got close. "You've been drinking?"
Bo Junxing stopped in his tracks, frowning slightly. "Does it smell bad?"
As he spoke, he stood still and did not move forward any further.
Shen Feiwan gently shook her head. "It's alright, the smell of alcohol isn't too strong. Go take a shower first."
Bo Junxing nodded upon hearing this and turned to walk towards the bathroom.
When Bo Junxing came out of the bathroom, Shen Feiwan had already made tea and was sitting on the sofa waiting for him.
However, before she could even invite Bo Junxing over, Shen Feiwan's attention was already drawn to him.
He was only loosely wrapped in a bathrobe.
The bathrobe was slightly open, revealing a small patch of a muscular chest, with a few drops of water clinging to it, slowly sliding down the muscle lines and disappearing into the depths of the bathrobe.
His collarbone was exceptionally beautiful, like a meticulously sculpted work of art, gleaming with a warm luster under the light, possessing both masculine strength and a unique kind of sexiness.
Shen Feiwan looked her over, admiring her, a smile appearing in her eyes. "Come and have some tea with me."
Bo Junxing did as instructed and sat down next to Shen Feiwan.
He looked at Shen Feiwan, a slight smile playing on his lips. "You seem to be in a very good mood."
Shen Feiwan raised an eyebrow slightly and said in a nonchalant tone, "So-so."
As she spoke, she seemed to get excited and reached out to fiddle with Bo Junxing's bathrobe collar, her eyes full of teasing and flirting. "Take it off. I like to see you naked, but... only your upper body."
Bo Junxing chuckled, grabbed Shen Feiwan's hand, and said seriously, "That won't do. We must treat everyone equally, not just the upper body."
As he spoke, he exerted a little force and pulled Shen Feiwan closer to him, instantly closing the distance between them.
Shen Feiwan immediately understood the meaning behind Bo Junxing's words.
Isn't that what we want—the whole fruit?
Needless to say, after that, they'll definitely go all out.
But she didn't want to now, so she rolled her eyes at him and said, "You wish."
Bo Junxing understood that Shen Feiwan had invited him over with tea because she had something to say, so he stopped teasing her and waited for her to speak.
Shen Feiwan picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and slowly asked, "Have you seen the old man since you came back?"
I've seen him.
Shen Feiwan continued, "Then you must have heard about what happened between Xu Ruoqing and me this afternoon."
Bo Junxing nodded. "Are you satisfied now?"
Shen Feiwan snorted, "Of course I'm not satisfied. As long as she's alive, I'll never be satisfied."
Upon hearing this, Bo Junxing frowned slightly and asked, "How's the situation with the police report?"
"It's still going through the procedures."
"Then let the law punish her. She's already been thoroughly angered by you today. The old man said that my elder brother went to plead for her."
"Oh?" Shen Feiwan's eyes sharpened upon hearing this. "The old man agreed?"
"No."
Upon hearing this answer, Shen Feiwan's lips curled into a cold smile. "Your elder brother is certainly protective of his wife, but that doesn't change anything."
Bo Junxing chuckled and picked up another cup of tea from the coffee table. "You're overthinking it. Their relationship is just so-so. He's probably only trying to plead for them because he wants to get rid of Xu Ruoqing, that troublesome woman. Otherwise, Xu Ruoqing will keep tormenting him. He just wants some peace and quiet."
Shen Feiwan suddenly remembered something, "Do you think your older brother knows about what happened twelve years ago?"
"I don't know that."
Shen Feiwan nodded, "Leave the professional matters to the professionals. As for the police, it should be resolved in the next few days."
Bo Junxing hummed in agreement, then suddenly said, "There's one more thing."
Shen Feiwan looked at him, "What?"
