She abandoned her husband first, then her children, and was ecstatic after the divorce.

Chapter 146: Even saying one more word would make me feel disgusted.

"Mom, I really didn't lie to you this time, otherwise I'll be damned."

Lin Qingran's eyes were filled with suspicion and anger. She looked coldly at Fu Xingze and said through gritted teeth.

"Your vows mean nothing to me; you've lied to me far too many times."

Fu Xingze collapsed to the ground in despair, tears streaming down his face.

"Mom, why won't you believe me? Everything I said is true, really..."

Bo Ye looked at the furious Lin Qingran and whispered words of advice.

“Jiuge, Fu Xingze is just a child. After experiencing these frights, he is already overwhelmed and shouldn’t lie anymore.” His voice was gentle and steady as he tried to calm Lin Qingran down.

"Think about what Zhou Lan said to you. I guess Lin Yuyan was most likely taken away by Zhou Lan's other subordinates who weren't caught."

Lin Qingran's anger did not immediately dissipate after hearing Bo Ye's words, but a hint of hesitation appeared in her eyes.

She stared intently at Fu Xingze, who was still crying, her mind in turmoil.

Susukino continued, "Perhaps he really wasn't lying to us, but the situation has changed."

Lin Qingran bit her lip and remained silent for a moment before she reluctantly believed it.

"Alright, if he dares to lie to me again, I will definitely not let him off easily."

After saying that, she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

The two were about to leave when, just as they were about to step out the door, Fu Xiuheng, unable to control himself, suddenly reached out and grabbed Lin Qingran's wrist.

His voice trembled with pleading, "Qingran, can we talk alone?"

Lin Qingran was taken aback by his sudden action and instinctively tried to break free.

Upon seeing this, Bo Ye's face darkened, and he was about to speak when Lin Qingran spoke first.

"Say what you have to say here."

Fu Xiuheng bit his lip and said in a low voice.

"Just for a moment, I really have something very important to tell you."

His gaze was fixed on Lin Qingran, and he refused to let go of her wrist.

Lin Qingran sneered and looked at Fu Xiuheng with a mocking expression.

"Fu Xiuheng, how many times have I talked to you before? But what have you done? You're still incorrigible! Now you want to talk to me alone, but why should I give you that chance again?"

Fu Xiuheng's hand trembled slightly, but he still held Lin Qingran's wrist tightly and said urgently.

"Qingran, just this once, the last time, I beg you."

Lin Qingran forcefully shook off his hand and said angrily.

"Enough! I will never trust you again! Just like your good son, every word you say makes me feel disgusted!"

After saying that, she turned around, took Bo Ye's arm, and left without looking back.

Fu Xiuheng stood there blankly, only able to watch Lin Qingran's departing figure, his heart filled with endless regret and pain.

He wanted to chase after them, but his legs felt as heavy as lead, and in the end he could only let his hands fall limply, letting tears blur his vision.

When the two left the hotel, it was already late at night, and the thick darkness seemed to swallow everything.

Back in the car, Bo Ye saw that Lin Qingran was exhausted and said with heartache.

"You look exhausted. Why don't we go home and rest?"

Lin Qingran shook her head slightly, "Bo Ye, let's go to the hospital to see Bo Shicheng first."

Bo Ye's face was gloomy, and he was unwilling.

He couldn't help but complain, "I think everything Bo Shicheng said to you was an act. He's a master of disguise. My emotions at that time were just because I was temporarily deceived by him."

Lin Qingran frowned. "Bo Ye, don't say that. Maybe he's sincere this time."

Bo Ye snorted coldly, "Sincere? He did so many outrageous things in the past, and now you believe he's changed after just a few words? I don't believe it."

Lin Qingran turned her head, looked at Bo Ye with gentle eyes, and spoke slowly.

"Actually, I know that after hearing what Bo Shicheng said, you also felt very sorry for him. But you still have doubts in your heart, right?"

Susukino tightened his grip on the steering wheel, but did not answer.

Lin Qingran continued, "In that case, why don't we go to the hospital and ask Bo Shicheng in person? It's better to get all the answers we have than to make wild guesses like this."

Bo Ye frowned, remaining silent.

Lin Qingran gently patted his shoulder, "Trust me, maybe things aren't as bad as we think. Untie this knot; it'll be good for you and for him."

Although Bo Ye looked reluctant, he eventually followed Lin Qingran's advice and turned the car around to return to the hospital.

They rushed to the ward, only to find that Old Master Bo was nowhere to be seen; only Bo Shicheng lay alone on the bed. Bo Ye's brows furrowed even more as he looked around in bewilderment.

Lin Qingran walked quickly to the bedside and asked softly.

"Where did the old man go?"

Bo Shicheng's eyes were dim, and he answered weakly, "He left a long time ago."

Bo Ye snorted coldly, "You left at the perfect time."

Lin Qingran glared at Bo Ye, signaling him to shut up. The atmosphere in the ward suddenly became awkward, so quiet it was unsettling.

Upon seeing that Bo Shicheng didn't even have a caregiver by his side, Bo Ye's anger flared up instantly.

But on the surface, he still pretended to be indifferent and walked past.

Standing in front of the hospital bed, he looked down at Bo Shicheng and questioned him.

"Bo Shicheng, why are you trying to play the victim in front of Jiu Ge? What exactly are you up to?"

Bo Shicheng looked bewildered and said weakly.

"I wasn't trying to gain sympathy; I was telling the truth."

Bo Ye sneered, "The truth? Who would believe that! You think you can gain our sympathy and make us forgive your family's past actions so we'll donate bone marrow to you?"

Lin Qingran quickly tugged at Bo Ye's sleeve, signaling him not to go too far.

Bo Ye ignored him and continued speaking.

"I'm telling you, don't even think about trying anything funny!"

Bo Shicheng gave a wry smile and gave Lin Qingran a look. Lin Qingran hesitated for a moment, then turned and left the ward.

Only Bo Ye and Bo Shicheng remained in the ward, and Bo Shicheng then slowly spoke.

“I didn’t lie. Bo Ye, you’ve always been hostile towards me, but every word I said this time is true. I know the Bo family treated you badly in the past, and I didn’t pay much attention to you, which disappointed and saddened you, but I’m telling you the truth.”

His voice trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of sincerity.

Bo Ye remained unmoved and sneered, "How can I believe your words? Do you think a few words of repentance can erase the harm your family has caused?"

Bo Shicheng sighed helplessly, "I know you won't believe anything I say now, but if you're willing, why don't you listen to a story?"

Lin Qingran waited outside the ward, and her physical and mental exhaustion caused her to fall asleep without realizing it.

When she opened her eyes again, she was wearing a coat. She turned her head and saw Bo Ye sitting next to her, his eyes red-rimmed.

Lin Qingran asked him with a worried look, "Bo Ye, what's wrong? What happened?"
