Chapter 90 - 90 90 The Mistress of the Bo Family_1
?Chapter 90: Chapter 90: The Mistress of the Bo Family_1 Chapter 90: Chapter 90: The Mistress of the Bo Family_1 “I came here to give you a present,” the old Bo patriarch grinned, picking up a gift box set aside and handing it to her.
Doubt flashed through Xia Qingtian’s eyes.
“What is this?” She reached out to take the gift box, finding it surprisingly heavy, but had no idea what’s inside.
“Why don’t you open it and see?”
Following his word, Xia Qingtian slowly opened the box to find unbelievably an exclusive worldwide limited edition Audrey Hepburn-style formal dress and high heels, all from Granny Fragrance’s home.
There was also a complete set of top-grade pearl jewelry.
“Grandfather, why are you giving this to me?” She was even more puzzled after seeing the gifts.
Then the old Bo patriarch explained his purpose.
“Obviously, it’s for wearing at the Bo Group’s 60th-anniversary celebration. I will have Jingyan announce in front of everyone that you are his wife, the mistress of the Bo Group.”
In that case, everyone would know that Qingqing is his granddaughter-in-law.
There should no longer be anyone foolish enough to covet his Qingqing, right?
Xia Qingtian suddenly felt like the gift box in her hand had become a hot potato.
Almost terrified, she put down the gift box promptly.
“Qingqing, what’s wrong?” Seeing her reaction, the old Bo man asked, somewhat worried.
Xia Qingtian shook her head with a pale face in refusal, “Grandfather, I can’t. I can’t attend the company’s 60th-anniversary celebration, and I absolutely can’t allow Bo Jingyan to announce my identity publicly.”
She had deceived Bo Jingyan time and time again.
If she were to attend the anniversary as Shen Qing and meet him in person…
She could already imagine how furious Bo Jingyan would be.
Maybe, he would strangle her right there and then.
She didn’t want to die because she was not ready!
“Why?” The old man Bo asked, puzzled.
Isn’t this a good thing?
Once everyone knows her identity as the young mistress of the Bo family, no one would dare to bully her, and Jingyan can no longer bring up the issue of divorce.
Also, didn’t Jingyan already know about Qingqing’s identity from the phone call they had yesterday?
Xia Qingtian bit her lip in difficulty.
She didn’t say that she had already decided to divorce Bo Jingyan.
The old Bo patriarch adored her and definitely would not agree.
Then he would definitely find Jingyan for a showdown.
And Jingyan would think that she had been stirring up trouble in front of grandfather, which would only make him more disgusted with her.
Even though she had decided to divorce him,
She didn’t want him to hate her so much.
“Anyway, I just don’t want to attend!” Unable to find any excuses, Xia Qingtian could only lower her head, looking at her own toes, nervously twisting her fingers.
The old Bo patriarch sighed.
He suddenly seemed to age by a decade.
“Qingqing, are you blaming grandfather?”
Xia Qingtian was startled and immediately denied, “Grandfather, what are you talking about? How could I possibly blame you?”
“You must be blaming me for not raising Jingyan well, causing you to be wronged. So you want to divorce him, not attending the company’s 60th Anniversary Celebration, and not willing to let everyone know that I have such a good granddaughter-in-law…”
“I know it’s all because I haven’t taught Jingyan well, causing you so many grievances. I’m sorry for my late wife and also sorry for your mother.”
“It’s only right that you blame me.”
By the time the old Bo patriarch finished speaking, he couldn’t help but shed aging tears, appearing to be on the brink of suffocation.
Seeing the misty teardrops in old Bo patriarch’s murky eyes,
Xia Qingtian was overwhelmed with guilt.
Grandfather was so good to her.
Whether confronting Bo Jingyan or Xia Guohua, he always stood by her side, protecting her.
How could she, how could she have the heart to make him so sad?
Xia Qingtian’s heart felt as if it were being pricked by a needle. The intense feeling of guilt was almost crushing her.
She couldn’t care less about anything else in that instant.
“Grandfather, don’t be sad, I’ll go, I’ll go, no worries.” But she finally still yielded.
She couldn’t let the grandfather who had treated her so well be sad and feel guilty.
As long as she could make him happy, she was willing to do anything.
“Really?” Now that the old patriarch Bo’s plan had succeeded, he instantly became cheerful.
Jingyan and Qingqing, they both succumbed to his tricks… hehe!
The face of the elderly Bo patriarch brightened up immediately, beaming with joy.
“So, on the day of the anniversary, I’ll invite the best make-up artist in A city. You’ll be made up beautifully and will be the most dazzling woman at the event. Jingyan will be dazzled by you. Then, he’ll beg you not to leave him.”
Just thinking about that image made him so excited he was beaming.
Initially, Xia Qingtian regretted a little after promising old Bo patriarch.
Seeing him so happy now, if she was given another chance to decide, she would make the same decision.
As for what Bo Jingyan would look like when he saw her…
Xia Qingtian dared not imagine at all.
“Perhaps…” she replied with a bitter taste in her mouth.
The old Bo patriarch noticed her pale complexion and was a bit worried about her.
Xia Qingtian didn’t want him to worry about her so she came up with an excuse, saying she was really tired from work today and felt a bit sleepy.
The old Bo patriarch had no suspicions.
He let her get a good rest to recuperate her energy.
Then he left Apricot Forest Bay.
Xia Qingtian returned to her room dispiritedly, helplessly curled up on the sofa, hugging herself tightly.
She was sincerely scared now!
No matter how she hid it, in three days, she would have to face Bo Jingyan as Shen Qing.
Bo Jingyan asked her countless times whether she was Shen Qing.
Each time she denied it!
Bo Jingyan once said that he despised being lied to the most.
And not only did she lie to him, she deceived him time and time again.
Xia Qingtian was indeed scared.
She feared that Bo Jingyan would be so angry that he would kill her on the spot,
and also feared ruining the anniversary celebration that the old Bo patriarch had been hoping for.
What should she do?
With teary eyes, Xia Qingtian was engulfed by trepidation.
There were only three days left until the anniversary celebration,
What should she do now?
She thought for a long time and couldn’t come up with any good solution, so she unconsciously fell asleep on the sofa.
After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly felt as if someone was watching her.
Xia Qingtian instinctively opened her eyes,
only to see Bo Jingyan sitting beside her.
When he noticed she woke up, Bo Jingyan reached out to caress her cheek, a trace of indifference on his face, “Xia Qingtian, are you hiding something from me?”
“No, nothing, I’m not hiding anything from you!” Xia Qingtian instinctively denied.
“You dare to lie to me again! I’ve investigated clearly. You are Shen Qing, and Shen Qing is you!!!”
Bo Jingyan’s handsome face was filled with frightening coldness at that moment.
His deeper-than-deep eyes were filled with terrifying killing intent, “Shen Qing, I just gave you another chance to confess, but unfortunately, you did not appreciate it. The thing I hate the most in this world is being lied to by others, you’ll definitely pay for it!!!”
