Chapter 198 The Bo family and the Lu family are to form a marriage alliance?
"Don't go too far! I always get A+ in acting class."
Bo Jingning was very upset that He Yan had questioned her.
She participated in so many school performances, and every time she received the most applause.
"But for you, being a doctor isn't so easy."
"Hmm? It seems you have high expectations of me. Thank you in advance."
He Yan realized that Bo Jingning clearly wanted to cause trouble for her.
But after criticizing himself, he would show a surprised expression, as if he was doubting himself.
She thought her sister-in-law was kind of cute.
Although He Yan disliked Bo Yuanzhou because of Bo Siheng, she did not dislike Bo Jingning, because her parents' mistakes were none of her business, and she was clearly unaware of them.
"However, you still need to work harder on your performance, otherwise it will be really difficult to graduate."
He Yan confronted Bo Jingning without offering any retaliation.
Because she wasn't like those relatives with ulterior motives.
Moreover, apart from her, every single relative present had something to hide.
Bo Yuanzhou was seething with anger.
He hosted the event today hoping to regain his voice, but He Yan disrupted everything.
However, he couldn't possibly have a complete falling out with Bo Siheng.
"Siheng, niece-in-law, your second uncle toasts you."
Bo Yuanzhou brought his wife over and pretended to apologize.
"What happened before was indeed my fault. I was deceived and I can't blame anyone else. I hope you won't hold my mistake against me."
Taking a step back is a strategic move to better plan for the next step.
He has been able to lie low for so many years, so he wouldn't care about the humiliation he is in front of him.
"Second Uncle, you're too kind. How could I blame you?"
Bo Siheng also stood up and raised his glass in greeting.
In this situation, since Bo Yuanzhou is willing to back down, he will certainly give him face.
"The company is so big, I need my second uncle's help."
"We're all family, it's only right!"
Bo Yuanzhou suppressed his thoughts and took the opportunity to bring up another matter.
"Actually, I'm currently in talks with the Lu family about a collaboration. Old Mrs. Lu wants to buy a piece of land in Beijing to settle down. That land is under the Bo family's name, so Mr. Lu has come here in person to discuss it."
Some people at the scene had heard of the Lu family's reputation and were quite shocked.
As the richest family in Haicheng, the Lu family would only benefit from cooperating with the Bo family.
"President Lu actually came in person to buy land?"
Bo Siheng was also somewhat surprised to hear about the Lu family.
He knew the Lu family's influence in Haicheng and guessed that his second uncle wanted to find help.
No wonder they suddenly wanted to bring Jingning back at this time.
It turns out they were planning a marriage alliance.
He glanced at Jingning, who was still unaware of the situation, and felt a pang of heartache. He had watched his younger sister grow up; although she was willful, she was very innocent, and he didn't want her to become a pawn.
Bo Yuanzhou took in everyone's reactions and knew they would reconsider.
He gave a feigned sigh, which was exactly what he wanted to hear.
“I’m getting old and I don’t have a son, so I want Jingning to come into the company and learn from me so that she can take over my job and continue to work for the company.”
"Dad, but I haven't graduated yet! And I don't understand anything about the company."
Bo Jingning follows her heart, so she chose the performance she likes.
She never intended to join the company.
“Jingning, the Bo family is so big, you can’t let your brother Heng support it all by himself, can you? He gets tired too. You are our family’s only child, if you don’t help him, who will?”
Bo Yuanzhou spoke in a grand and righteous manner, not afraid that Bo Siheng would refute him to his face.
Because he knew that Bo Siheng would not be able to refuse.
He still loves his daughter very much.
However, this affection did not prevent him from using her to scheme against the Bo family.
"When Dad goes out on business, he'll take you with him to study, okay?"
"Okay, I'm so smart, I can learn it."
Bo Jingning was initially hesitant, but she agreed when she saw He Yan.
She couldn't let her brother Heng continue to believe this woman who had deceived him.
Bo Yuanzhou was very satisfied with his daughter's answer.
Bo Siheng's expression darkened slightly.
He never expected that his second uncle would scheme against even Jingning in order to deal with him.
The other relatives also understood that Bo Yuanzhou wanted his daughter to marry into the Lu family so that he would have enough confidence to contend with Bo Siheng and perhaps even take control of the Bo family.
He Yan had been quietly listening to Bo Siheng.
Her eyes flickered slightly when they mentioned the Lu family.
"Are you talking about the Lu family in Haicheng? Is there something wrong with Old Madam Lu?"
Bo Yuanzhou is now subconsciously on guard against He Yan.
Hearing her interrupt, he immediately became wary.
“Niece-in-law, do you want to treat Old Madam Lu? You’ll be disappointed. The Lu family has doctors. The old lady consulted a legendary doctor back then. They wouldn’t stoop to the level of the He family.”
"I was just asking casually, why are you reacting so strongly, Uncle?"
He Yan curled her lips into a cold smile, a smile that betrayed Bo Yuanzhou's skepticism.
But what she wanted was his suspicion.
"If President Lu wants to cooperate with the Bo family, shouldn't he be negotiating with President Bo instead?"
He Yan also guessed that Bo Yuanzhou wanted to use her daughter.
She felt that it was a bit tragic for Bo Jingning to have such parents.
These brother and sister shared the same plight.
After learning about Bo Yuanzhou's thoughts, Bo Siheng regained his composure.
He served He Yan some food, his eyes only for her.
"Eat more, don't let it affect your appetite."
No matter what Bo Yuanzhou wanted to do, he wouldn't give him that chance.
The question is, who can handle the Lu family's collaboration?
"It's good that Second Uncle has ideas for the Bo family, but there's no need to rush. We'll see what President Lu thinks then."
Zheng Jiarong had been secretly keeping an eye on He Yan, suspecting that she was pregnant.
She needs to confirm it, otherwise it will be a potential problem.
“Si Heng, when Old Madam Lu comes to the capital, we will definitely need to pay her a visit. At this time, we need someone who can make decisions. Our Bo family cannot be impolite.”
Zheng Jiarong considered herself to be someone who could speak up within the Bo family.
Of course, she also didn't want He Yan to steal the spotlight.
“Your grandmother is getting old, and He Yan is still immature. You don’t mind if your second aunt handles it, do you?”
"Your second aunt can decide on the visit."
Bo Siheng and Bo Yuanzhou were at odds, but Bo Siheng still respected his aunt.
He wouldn't involve others in some of his grudges.
The cooperation with the Lu family was not what he wanted; the Bo family had the power, unless both sides reached an agreement.
At that moment, He Yan suddenly received a call from the medical school.
"Dr. He, please come quickly. Something's wrong with that patient who was participating in the drug trial."
"I am coming over now."
He Yan took the drug trial very seriously.
This concerns not only the He family, but also the master's prescription.
"Is something wrong? I'll take you there."
Bo Siheng didn't want to stay here either, and he didn't want to engage in pretense with these people.
Upon hearing this, Bo Jingning quickly came over as well.
"Brother, I want to go see it too, will you take me?"
She had heard that He Yiyi was also dealing with it there. Although she had heard of the socialite list abroad and knew that He Yiyi was the recognized number one, and that He Yan had stolen her engagement.
Bo Jingning felt that He Yiyi was definitely better than He Yan, and she wanted to go and see her on behalf of her brother.
Bo Siheng glanced at He Yan; she did not refuse.
"Then don't cause trouble."
The group left the banquet immediately, and their relatives didn't dare to say anything.
When they arrived at the medical school gate, Bo Siheng did not get out of the car.
Since the Lu family is going to develop in Beijing, he must make some preparations in advance, just in case.
"I have to go to the company, I'll pick you up later."
Bo Siheng took off his suit jacket and draped it over He Yan's shoulders.
Stop her before she refuses.
"Don't take it off."
