Old Master Bo heartily laughed.
“They merely asked about the anniversary celebrations we have today, saying they are abroad and can’t share the burden with me, so they reminded me to take care of myself and not exhaust myself.”
Upon hearing this, Xia Qingtian did not raise any doubts.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It must be because she has been too tense recently.
It has led her to become suspicious and paranoid.
Bo Jingyan is abroad, a simple phone call from him scared her into such state.
“So that’s how it is,” Xia Qingtian smiled.
“Qingtian, rest here for a while, the anniversary celebration will start a bit later today. I will have someone bring you some food. If you are hungry, you can fill your stomach first,” Old Master Bo reminded her.
Then he left to double-check the process of today’s anniversary celebration.
Xia Qingtian continued to wait in the rest room.
Half an hour later, Old Master Bo returned and said to Xia Qingtian, “Qingqing, it’s time. The anniversary celebration is about to start. Please take my hand and walk out with me.”
“Okay,” Xia Qingtian lifted her dress and followed him out of the rest room.
On the way to the banquet hall.
Old Master Bo gently patted her hand, reminding, “Qingqing, no matter what happens later, don’t panic, you have to stay calm.”
“What could possibly happen?” Xia Qingtian asked with a hint of doubt.
She had reviewed the process, and everything seemed normal, she couldn’t figure out what could cause her the feelings of panic.
“It’s a big surprise…” Old Master Bo didn’t tell her, but gave her a mysterious wink.
At this, Xia Qingtian’s right eye started twitching uncontrollably.
A sense of foreboding surged in her heart.
Something terrible is bound to happen tonight.
Thinking so, she couldn’t help but feel trepidation.
But the reality did not permit her to retreat.
At this moment.
The hotel staff opened the doors to the banquet hall.
Everyone who was attending the banquet looked towards them simultaneously.
Old Master Bo led Xia Qingtian forward, but found she was standing still, motionless.
He thought she was scared.
“Qingqing, don’t be afraid,” he comforted, “After today, everyone will know that you are the mistress of the Bo Family. Anyone who dares to bully you is going against our Bo Family. Everyone will only try to please you.”
Xia Qingtian wanted to say that she was not afraid of these people.
But she didn’t know how to explain it, so she simply accepted his interpretation.
“Okay, I understand, Grandpa.”
She comforted herself inwardly, telling herself not to be frightened anymore.
She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and then followed Old Master Bo’s pace into the banquet hall.
The guests in the banquet hall automatically parted, opening a pathway for them.
Under the gaze of countless eyes, Xia Qingtian ascended the stage.
In a moment, Old Master Bo would introduce her to everyone here.
After getting on the stage, Old Master Bo picked up the microphone and began, “Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to be here.”
“Today holds special significance for our Bo Group. Sixty years ago today, I single-handedly established the Bo Group. I never thought that one day, the Bo Group could develop to this extent.”
“Of course, none of this would’ve been possible without the help of everyone present. I express my deepest gratitude to you all, thank you.”
After his words ended, thunderous applause erupted from the audience below.
After the applause ended, Old Master Bo started introducing Xia Qingtian’s identity to everyone.
“I am sure everyone is curious about the identity of the woman standing beside me.”
“She is my granddaughter-in-law, Jingyan’s wife of three years, and the mistress of the Bo family, Shen Qing. In the future, please show a lot of care to our Qingqing. Although Qingqing is just my granddaughter-in-law, to me, she is dearer than my own granddaughter. She is our Bo Family’s treasure, our pearl. If anyone dares to bully her, they would be picking a fight with our Bo Family.”
By the end, Old Master Bo began to radiate a very imposing aura.
People in the audience, despite the distance, were still almost breathless under this daunting aura.
Everyone suddenly became wary.
The looks they cast towards Xia Qingtian were filled with awe.
Seeing that everyone’s faces had changed, evidently understanding his words, Old Master Bo was very satisfied.
He turned his head towards Xia Qingtian, his gaze instantly becoming kind and warm, “Qingqing, say a few words as well.”
After saying so, he waited for Xia Qingtian to speak.
However, after waiting for a while, there was no response.
Upon closer inspection, Old Master Bo realized that Xia Qingtian’s face was pale and she was shaking intensely, staring intently in one direction, seemingly lost in thought.
He immediately asked worriedly, “Qingqing, what’s wrong?”
Xia Qingtian suddenly snapped back to reality.
Her face was pale as paper and she was shaking like a sieve, her teeth clattering.
It seemed like she had seen Bo Jingyan.
When Old Master Bo was speaking just now, she was idly looking around, suddenly catching sight of an outstandingly handsome face in the crowd. It was –
Bo Jingyan!!!
His looks and demeanor made him stand out, even in a large crowd.
She made eye contact with Bo Jingyan, and immediately felt as if she had been thrown into an ice cellar, the cold penetrating her bones.
“Qingqing, are you feeling unwell?” Old Master Bo was somewhat worried.
What was happening to Xia Qingtian was clearly not normal.
“Grandpa, I…” She gulped, and said tremblingly, “I, I think, I think…”
Upon saying this, Xia Qingtian instinctively looked towards Bo Jingyan again.
This time…
There was nothing.
Just a few strangers.
Where was Bo Jingyan?
“You think what?” Old Master Bo asked anxiously.
Xia Qingtian rubbed her eyes and looked again, but still couldn’t see Bo Jingyan.
Could it be that her nerves got the better of her and she saw wrongly?
“Nothing…” Xia Qingtian shook her head, saying, “I was a bit distracted just now. Grandpa, what did you ask me to do?”
“You should address the people here.”
Because of what happened earlier, Xia Qingtian was still a bit absent-minded, so she simply said, “Hello everyone, I am Shen Qing. Please take care of me in the future.”
After saying this, she was about to leave the stage.
“Qingqing, don’t leave yet…” Old Master Bo pulled her back immediately.
“Grandpa, what’s wrong?” Xia Qingtian was a bit confused.
Earlier, Old Master Bo had told her about the process; all she had to do was come on stage and introduce herself.
She didn’t have to do anything else.
“I’ve prepared a big surprise for you.” Old Master Bo blinked at her mysteriously, “You can’t just leave the stage like this.”
Having said this, he looked towards the audience.
“Inviting everyone here today, besides participating in the Bo Group’s 60th anniversary celebration, we also have a very important matter – to let you all bless Jingyan and Qingqing’s relationship, and to bear witness to their love.”
“Jingyan, it’s your turn to take the stage.”
