Chapter 565: 274 Admitting Mistakes (Second Update)

Xu Shuhua looked at him, a grown man, even eating with so much elegance. No wonder there were so many women fascinated by him.

“Alright, there’s no need for formalities between brothers.”

After Bo Yuxun finished his meal and cleaned up the trash, he sat down and began to write again.

Xu Shuhua couldn’t help asking: “Bo Yuxun, have you forgotten what day it is?”

Bo Yuxun’s fingers rapidly tapped on the keyboard, bringing up a screen full of English on a medical forum.

As he browsed the site, he asked, “What day?”

Xu Shuhua took a deep breath, “It’s your and Yujiang’s birthday. You’re not going to disown this sister too, are you? Before, you kept talking about finding her, but when she returned, you decided to go abroad. This is the first birthday you two are spending together since she came back. She’s been looking forward to your return every day. Don’t disappoint her.”

Suddenly, Bo Yuxun looked up at him, his gaze as penetrating as if he could see right through him.

Xu Shuhua felt guilty and mumbled, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Bo Yuxun raised an eyebrow, “Nothing, just thinking that some people will end up being single their entire lives.”

After answering a few questions, Bo Yuxun glanced at his watch, closed his laptop, stood up, and walked over to the coat rack.

He took off his white lab coat, put on his overcoat, and adjusted the cuffs and collar.

“Let’s go.”

As Bo Yuxun walked by, everyone–doctors, nurses, patients, or their families–couldn’t help but gaze at him.

This was already the third girl rushing over to give him food.

Xu Shuhua, watching from behind, was feeling numb.

Bo Yuxun had never lacked female admirers since he was a child. The girls were even crazier when he was in school.

Bo Yuxun coldly brushed past the girl, “Sorry, I don’t need it.”

With these words, he lengthened his stride and left.

The girl who’d been rejected looked aggrieved, her red eyes were heartbreaking.

Xu Shuhua recognized this girl. She was the most beautiful nurse in the entire hospital, and due to her looks, had been chosen to represent the hospital in promotional photographs. She was very popular in the hospital and always had boys chasing after her.

Even a man would find it hard to reject presents from such a young and beautiful girl.

Xu Shuhua caught up with him, “Yuxun, you’ve changed. You used to be a gentleman who was kind to women.”

Bo Yuxun’s indifferent voice was colder than the winter wind, “Giving them hope would only hurt them.” ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Xu Shuhua was left speechless. It was at this moment that he realized the Bo Yuxun he remembered was forever stuck twelve years ago.

The group chat was filled with jeering laughter.

—— A toad lusting after a swan’s flesh. He should take a piss and look at his own reflection. Does that doctor even consider her fit?

—— Usually flirting with other men is acceptable, but not with Bo Yuxun, he’s a principled man. He isn’t interested in her tricks. You guys never saw how cold he was, it was absolutely heartening.

—— I bet she’s somewhere crying right now, she deserves it.

Some of the comments were excessively harsh. Zhu Yan was not liked in the hospital, and she constantly had men surrounding her, this naturally lead to many people being resentful of her.

Ye Qingxing looked at the coarse language in the group, her lips curled into a smirk. She truly overestimated her abilities.

After closing her phone, she examined her face in the mirror. The mirror reflected two figures approaching, and she quickly straightened up, acting as if she had casually turned.

In her sight, the man approached against the light, and her breathing gradually became rapid.

She fiercely pinched her thigh, managing to not lose her composure.

“Big Brother Bo, my… my car ran out of gas, could I hitch a ride with you?”

Xu Shuhua’s mouth twitched, that excuse was pretty lame.

Why did it seem like all these intelligent women lost their IQs when they met Bo Yuxun?

Bo Yuxun glanced at Xu Shuhua, who resignedly scratched his nose: “You can sit in my car, it’s more spacious.”

Ye Qingxing bit her lip, and glanced at Bo Yuxun.

Bo Yuxun walked past her, climbed into a black Land Rover, and didn’t spare her a glance throughout.

The Land Rover swiftly pulled out of its parking space and drove away, leaving Ye Qingxing with a mouthful of exhaust fumes.

Ye Qingxing’s face was even darker than the car’s exhaust.

“Let’s go, Miss Ye.” Xu Shuhua called out.

Xu Shuhua, the son of Mr. Xu, was someone Ye Qingxing wouldn’t dare to lose her temper at, let alone the fact that he was Bo Yuxun’s best friend.

As she obediently got into Xu Shuhua’s car, Ye Qingxing asked, “Brother Xu, are you going to the Bo’s house?”

With her ladylike face and soft-spoken manner, Ye Qingxing seemed like a figure that made speaking loudly seem like a sin.

The way she called him ‘Brother Xu’ was so coquettish that it gave Xu Shuhua goosebumps.

“Yes, tonight is Yuxun and Yujiang’s birthday, aren’t you going too? I can drop you there.”

Ye Qingxing was the cousin of Bo’s sister-in-law and never missed any parties even when she was always at Bo’s sister-in-law’s side.

“Thank you very much, Brother Xu.”

“You’re welcome.” Xu Shuhua cursed under his breath. Ever since he met Bo Yuxun in university, he’d been used as a tool to manage his female friends, and it was still the same to this day.

Could it be that one of them was aiming for him?

Alas, could he blame Bo Yuxun’s charm for still being single at the age of thirty-nine and for making his father worry endlessly?

After moving out of Chunxi Court, the Bos settled in a quadrangle courtyard.

This was Granny Bo’s old house, a dowry from her own family when she got married.

In land-scarce Jingzhou, the value of this three-section quadrangle can no longer be calculated in numbers.

Bo Yujian and Bo Yujiang both had their own houses, but they spent more time living here to take care of Granny Bo.

Granny Bo, a lady of refinement, had a taste for finer things. Every piece of decoration in the house was an antique and even the bricks contained tucked away paintings.

In the courtyard, there was a plum blossom garden. The scent of the blossoms during winter gave the yard a unique vibe.

The banquet that night was held at the eastern Huichun Hall. Madam Zhang was assisting the Master Chef, who was hired from Dechang Building, with preparations for the night’s feast.

Bo Yuxun and Bo Yujiang had many friends, including a few from reputable families. Altogether, there were three tables, and that was being conservative.

Granny Bo perked up, “Is A Bo back?”

Bo Yujiang turned off the TV, checked outside, and saw the man in a black coat stride in.

Bo Yujiang softly greeted, “Second Brother.”

Bo Yuxun simply nodded, stepped over the threshold, and seeing the elderly woman sitting in a wheelchair, frowned and adjusted the blanket on her legs.

“It’s cold outside, why aren’t you indoors?”

“A Bo.” Granny Bo grasped his hand excitedly. Her thin, frail hand sprinkled with age spots made it look even whiter, showing how her youthful skin once belied the snow. Despite her advanced age, her graceful demeanor remained.

“A Bo, when you came back that night drunk, I didn’t get a chance to talk to you.”

Bo Yuxun pressed his lips together, he wasn’t drunk that night, he only pretended to be as he didn’t know how to face his mother.

He left for work early the next morning before anyone else woke up. He performed a major surgery last night and slept at the hospital, missing a chance to return home.

This was his first official meeting with Granny Bo since he returned to the country.

Granny Bo’s eyes resembled a dried-up riverbed, straining to take in as much of him as possible. However, it proved futile.

She traced his face with her trembling hands—his forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth—committing every feature to her heart.

Granny Bo’s hands trembled, but she wore a smile: “A Bo, you’ve lost weight, you must have suffered a lot abroad.”

Bo Yuxun closed his eyes and knelt down before Granny Bo, “Mother, I have been unfilial, neglecting my duties as a son, and causing you to worry. That is my mistake.”

Granny Bo gently pulled him up, “I should be the one apologizing to you. It was wrong of me to intervene in your affairs when you two were in love. I regret separating you two every single day. She was a good girl. How could I, after all that I’ve learned, have such narrow-mindedness and ruin a match made in heaven?”

Bo Yujiang watched in awe.

Granny Bo always seemed kind but was extremely stubborn. It was surprising to see her admit her mistake.

It seemed what Ye Qingxing said was correct; Bo Yuxun left home because Granny Bo broke up his marriage.

One could only wonder what kind of woman could bewitch him so much that he left for over a decade.

“A Jiang.” Granny Bo gestured over.
