My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady-Chapter 979 - 746: Liking You Since the First Glance 87

Even though the commotion here was small, it still caught the attention of Lady Bo. She walked over with Bo Jian in her arms and saw the maid with her head down, trembling slightly. With a glance, she recognized this maid as one of the people Zhang Ma had pointed out to her before.

Her expression immediately turned cold, "Do you even know how to do your job?"

Jian Dan awkwardly smiled, wanting to say she was okay, but before she could speak, Bo Qin pinched her hand.

That meant she shouldn’t meddle or speak up for this person. It’s rare to see his mother lose her temper since she usually doesn’t behave this way.

Bo Qin was perceptive and quickly figured out some things.

He shook his head slightly, and Jian Dan understood, looking at the other party quietly.

"I-I’m sorry," the maid apologized. She looked quite demure, but at this moment, she didn’t dare to raise her head to look at Lady Bo’s expression.

Just by listening to her voice, the maid realized that Lady Bo seemed to be in a very bad mood now, and this displeasure mixed with personal feelings.

She didn’t dare to raise her head further.

Even though she bumped into Jian Dan on purpose, she hadn’t expected Jian Dan to be so delicate. The bump wasn’t serious at all, yet she dared to cry out.

Her unwillingness seemed well hidden due to her lowered head, but the defiance on her body was still noticed by Bo Qin, who narrowed his eyes, "Butler."

The Bo Mansion had two butlers. The senior butler followed Grandpa and Grandma Bo to the banquet first, leaving the deputy butler here. Seeing him, Lady Bo’s mood worsened.

In frustration, she turned away with Bo Jian in her arms, thinking out of sight, out of mind, or she might be infuriated to death.

Bo Qin, in a high position, had seen all kinds of people. His mother’s repeated unusual behavior today was not a simple matter, and only after seeing these two people did she react this way, suggesting something had happened?

Bo Qin frowned, pulling Jian Dan up from the chair, "Go accompany Mom and our son, let me handle this."

"Okay."

Jian Dan glanced at the maid briefly before turning back and walking towards Lady Bo and her son.

"Mom, why don’t you rest for a bit? Let me hold him."

Bo Jian was over three months old, quite chubby, and still quite heavy to hold. She worried that Lady Bo’s arms might be sore.

Unexpectedly, Lady Bo refused, "No problem, our well-behaved grandson, I can hold him."

Jian Dan gave up, and Bo Jian, seeing her, grinned widely, even making some noises as he laughed. Jian Dan was amused and exasperated, "Little flatterer, Grandma is holding you, are you happy?"

"Giggling..."

Bo Jian laughed with a particular rhythm, waving his little chubby hands in the air, with a teething stick tied to his wrist, making those little chubby hands even rounder.

He seemed to be teething soon, drooling a lot recently.

Previously, she thought it was unusual, checked the information, and consulted a doctor, all saying it was fine. Some children just teethe early.

Lady Bo, watching the interaction between mother and child, chuckled, "Our two kids together make quite a lively scene."

Jian Dan blushed slightly, "Mom."

Lady Bo laughed, reaching out to rub her head, "Alright, alright, I won’t tease you. Once Bo Qin finishes handling things, we’ll go over. There are probably many guests waiting over there."

"Mm, okay," Jian Dan said, "Mom, wait for us here. Is Dad keeping an eye over there?"

"Yes, I had him go over and keep an eye on things first."

"That’s good then."

Bo Qin looked at the deputy butler, smiling without warmth, and said, "Butler, was this final batch of people you recruited?"

Cold sweat dripped from the deputy butler’s forehead as he glanced at his niece, internally enraged to the point of cursing. Not long ago, he had advised her not to be arrogant, not to act domineering here, and also to refrain from gossiping about the masters.

Initially, upon seeing Jian Dan’s looks, he thought his niece had expectations, but afterward, at any remaining time, he no longer held such thoughts.

To him, Jian Dan seemed quite ordinary, but he forgot one thing: Jian Dan was raised by Bo Qin, and that relationship naturally held a special place in his heart. How narcissistic had he been to think his niece could entice the Eldest Young Master?

Later, he came to his senses and warned his niece many times, but she clearly didn’t listen, becoming even more arrogant.

Now, with Bo Qin questioning him, he got stuck for a moment, not knowing how to respond, nodding awkwardly.

"Yes."

Bo Qin stroked his chin, chuckling, "Deputy Butler, your eye for recruiting people isn’t as good as the butler’s. If you can’t handle this kind of work in the future, it’s better to let the butler do it. He’s been doing it for many years and has experience, so this... most unwarranted mistake won’t happen;"
