Chapter 1755: I’m Doing This For Myself
“You…”
Shen Fanxing’s calmness infuriated the old man even more.
To him, meeting the CEO of INT in private was already humble enough.
He had always hoped that the Bo Consortium would develop in a good direction. At the very least, he would be able to see the Bo Consortium return to its top international position in his lifetime.
However, his bones, which had been hardened for his entire life, had long become iron. To him, sitting here now was considered a shameful matter.
Now that Shen Fanxing had bumped into him, he was utterly embarrassed.
“You’re simply… outrageous, outrageous! You actually followed me…”
In the Old Master’s heart, Shen Fanxing was either the culprit who had destroyed the Bo family or an outsider he hated. Now that she had openly admitted to stalking him, he had no good impression of her.
Mr. and Mrs. Steve looked at Shen Fanxing in confusion. They were curious about the conversation between the old man and her.
Shen Fanxing’s expression was indifferent, and the coldness in her eyes was far from the so-called coldness and disappointment.
…
“It’s wrong to follow someone, but we’re not kind people either. We have no right to criticize others. What do you think?”
The old man’s face darkened. “You admitted that you followed me and even barged into my house. Now, you’re saying that I have no right to criticize you?”
Shen Fanxing nodded and stared at the old man’s face for a long time before sneering.
She pursed her lips and smiled helplessly. In the end, she shifted her gaze back to the Old Master.
The smile in her eyes turned cold.
“She’s just unwilling to give up and wants to give us some leeway.”
The old man’s face froze. “… What do you mean?”
Shen Fanxing’s expression was cold as she said, “I’m very puzzled. Why are you so insistent? What reason can make you hate me so much? Is it because of your dignity that you haven’t disobeyed me for so many years? Don’t you think sitting here now is a slap in the face?”
“You…”
“Do you think…”
Shen Fanxing raised her voice and interrupted Old Master Bo. Her gaze was cold and sarcastic.
“Or do you think that Ah Chuan is the kind of person who will obediently return to the Bo family after you crush me and leave me with nothing?”
The old man’s face froze.
“If you really think that, then I feel endless sorrow for him. He has been by your side for thirty years, but he doesn’t know as much as I, who came out of nowhere and even knew him for less than a year. Thirty years… What are your eyes looking at?”
Yin Ruijue and Bo Jinhang took a deep breath at Shen Fanxing’s words and fell silent.
Yes, even they knew that Brother Bo was not someone who was easily controlled.
As long as he didn’t want to, no one could.
But what had the Old Master been looking at all these years?
“Don’t look at me like that. Are you angry? You’ll only be angry if you’re right. Let me tell you what you’re looking at. You can only see how much benefits he has brought to the Bo Consortium. Is he more outstanding than yesterday? Does he have the ability to bring the Bo Consortium to a higher level? The meaning of his existence is completely based on the Bo Consortium. If he goes against you and gives up on the Bo Consortium, he’s nothing…”
The old man trembled in anger at Shen Fanxing’s words and his hands gripped the edge of the table tightly.
“You’re twisting words and fabricating lies! Do you know what’s most important as a man? You made his life worthless and meaningless! It was the Bo Consortium who made him successful, and it was you who destroyed him…”

“The one who achieved him was never the Bo Consortium! His existence is the greatest meaning!”
Shen Fanxing interrupted him again, leaving the old man speechless.
However, his face was still filled with anger. He didn’t want to agree with anything Shen Fanxing said.
Seeing his reaction, Shen Fanxing sneered and sighed.
“Forget it. I’m ashamed to compete with you in stubbornness. Let’s pretend that I never said these words tonight. But I still hope that you can understand that tonight, we… will give you one last chance.”
Shen Fanxing paused and tried her best to be tactful. However, when she saw the anger on Old Master’s face, she knew that there was no way to ease the relationship between Old Master and Bo Jinchuan.
Compared to being stubborn and stubborn, she was really helpless.
‘Yes.’
That was how spineless she was. Even now, she still wanted to compromise with him.
However, she didn’t have any bargaining chips to compromise with him.
It was impossible for her to give up on Bo Jinchuan.
She felt that she had vaguely returned to six years ago, when she was conflicted and helpless after her mother left.
She hated the Shen family for being unfair to her mother and herself, but she also didn’t want to lose them and her last protection.
Those experiences were enough for her.
From the moment she got together with Bo Jinchuan, she had promised not to be a burden or a flaw in his life.
However, she had still made him lose too much.
She loved him and wanted him to be the happiest person in the world.
Even though she knew that nothing was perfect, she wanted Bo Jinchuan to become the perfect person.
She wasn’t afraid of compromising with the Old Master because she felt that everything was worth it for Bo Jinchuan.
However, the old man was too stubborn to compromise.
“Sister-in-law… left.”
Bo Jinghang tugged at her at the side. Although he was confused at first, he roughly knew what was going on now that he had bumped into Old Master and what he had just said.
She was unwilling to give up and wanted to ease the relationship between Old Master and Brother.
But how could it be that easy?
Old Master’s stubbornness could not be changed even if Grandma spent her entire life.
However, he still hadn’t given up yet. Indeed… his brother had sharp eyes.
Who knew that the infamous woman back then was actually so charming and charismatic?
Shen Fanxing had no intention of staying any longer. Pursing her lips, she turned to leave.
Suddenly, an angry shout came from behind.
“Stop right there!”
Shen Fanxing paused, her expression cold.
“You followed me here and barged into my room. Are you planning to leave without doing anything?”
This time, even Yin Ruijue secretly cursed.
This old man was really evil.
Bo Jinghang’s expression was no longer as cynical as before. Instead, it was dark and gloomy.
“Grandpa, that’s enough! You’re already so old, yet you’re still so evil. Do you think it’s something dignified to make things difficult for a woman?”
The old man’s face trembled violently. “What kind of bewitching medicine did this woman feed all of you? All of you are so bewitched!”
1
Yin Ruijue scratched the back of his head with a conflicted expression.
He didn’t want to nag at this old man, but he really felt that it was too much.
Firstly, he was an elder. Secondly, he was an old man. It was the best strategy to protect himself.
However, she felt terrible if she didn’t say anything.
“Old Master, since you’ve already said that, isn’t that the answer? Firstly, I think you have to admit that you’re old. Your taste in beauty is completely different from ours. For example, if you like the eldest daughter of the Yuan family, we don’t like her. Secondly, you’ve lived for most of your life. You shouldn’t believe that there’s a bewitching drug in this world, right? If there is, it’s because my sister-in-law is charming. If you want to praise my sister-in-law’s charm, so be it. Why does your tone sound so awkward? Isn’t it good to be honest?”
Bo Jinghang couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
What a joke.
Shen Fanxing couldn’t help but purse her lips. With so many people around, even feeling down was a luxury.
“Look at what you’ve become! Shameless! Sooner or later, you’ll have to pay the price!”
Bo Jinghang sighed. His ears had probably turned numb from hearing Old Master’s words.
“Alright, at least we have the blood of the Bo family flowing in our veins. Just because of this relationship, you should hope that we’ll do better. No matter how useless we are, we can’t possibly dig up our ancestors’ graves, right?”
“You…”
Shen Fanxing grinned. She didn’t expect Bo Jinghang to be so vicious.
He had hit the nail on the head.
They were not mortal enemies.
“Let’s go, there’s no need to send me off…”
Old Master Bo’s face darkened. “Did I allow her to leave?”
“What else could it be?”
Bo Jinhang was about to say something when Bo Jinchuan’s cold voice sounded from behind.
Then, he stood in front of Shen Fanxing with his arm around her waist. His cold gaze landed on the old man.
“What else do you want her to do?”
When Old Master Bo saw Bo Jinchuan, his face darkened.
“What do I want her to do? She’s here to cause trouble for me today! Even if I really do something to her, what can you do to me?!”
1
“So I’m asking you, what do you want her to do?” asked Bo Jinchuan coldly.
“Tell her to get lost as soon as possible! Don’t even think about participating in this year’s international summit to embarrass herself! If she doesn’t participate this time, she won’t be qualified to participate next time and create more topics for others!”
1
Shen Fanxing was exasperated. “What has my embarrassment got to do with you?”
The old man sneered. “Are you bringing a gigolo to the international summit?”
As he spoke, his sarcastic voice and gaze landed on Bo Jinchuan. Even his dark expression was cold and sarcastic.
“Or do you think this is an honorable thing? Everyone knows that you’re my grandson. If I see you attending the international summit as a gigolo, where will I put my face?”
Bo Jinchuan stared at him coldly before sneering.
“Have you forgotten about the press conference you held before you came?”
Old Master frowned deeply.
1
“I’m afraid everyone knows that I’ve long been chased out of the Bo family by you. So whether I’m proud or humiliated, it has nothing to do with you. You can rest assured that even if I really end up as a beggar in the future, I won’t seek revenge from you. Therefore, you’re trying to suppress Fanxing just to force me to return. It’s better for you to give up early.”
Bo Jinchuan’s voice was cold and emotionless.
“How can you beg for food?”
Her waist tightened as Bo Jing turned her around. Shen Fanxing couldn’t help but say,
She didn’t like hearing that.
Bo Jinchuan pressed his lips tightly, but his expression didn’t improve.
Bo Jinghang and Yin Ruijue closed the door and followed behind them.
The attendant leading the way had a pale face, but she had heard the conversation clearly.
They were all important figures who had come to attend the international summit. No one could afford to offend them.
Even though Bo Jinchuan didn’t look too good, he still brought Shen Fanxing to the private room next door.
Not long ago, he had vomited. No matter how angry he was, he couldn’t let the woman in his arms starve.
Shen Fanxing ordered four to five dishes in one go. Yin Ruijue and Bo Jinhang also ordered a few dishes. They were waiting to start eating again.
With these two clowns, the atmosphere in the private room was lively. The dinner was very satisfying.
“Come to City H to eat Hunan cuisine. We’re already gods.”
On the way back, Yin Ruijue rubbed his stomach and burped.
Shen Fanxing didn’t say anything as she stole glances at Bo Jinchuan. Her dark expression made her feel bad.
Back at the hotel, the two of them entered the room. Bo Jinchuan silently removed Shen Fanxing’s scarf and coat.
There was no expression on her face the entire time.
Shen Fanxing smacked her lips and tugged at Bo Jinchuan’s shirt. She looked up at him and said, “I’m sorry, I…”
Bo Jinchuan frowned as he grabbed the back of Shen Fanxing’s head and kissed her forcefully.
Shen Fanxing widened her eyes in shock, not understanding why Bo Jinchuan would do that.
Wasn’t he angry?
So kissing her was venting his anger?
Shen Fanxing frowned and Bo Jinchuan let go of her, but his forehead was pressed against hers.
“Why are you apologizing? What did you do wrong?”
Shen Fanxing blinked and asked, “Then why are you angry? Isn’t it because I went to see Old Master on purpose? I admit that I was a little emotional and I lacked respect for him…”
Bo Jinchuan pressed his body against hers and the sudden heaviness made her stop and look at him in confusion.
Bo Jinchuan fell silent for a long time before saying helplessly,
“… You’re right, I’m angry.”
“…”
“I don’t need you to compromise because of me.”
Shen Fanxing’s helpless expression gradually returned to normal.
She was silent for a while. “At the end of the day… the reason why you and Old Master became like this is because of me…”
“Shen Fanxing!” Bo Jinchuan said in a low voice, “You’re not the root of the matter. It’s him. He’s too much. I know who’s right and who’s wrong. If you compromise with him, I won’t be happy just because I see him succeed and gain the upper hand. Do you understand?”

“I think what Yin Ruijue said at the airport today made sense.”
“…”
“I also think that even if I endure it, I won’t be able to tolerate him for long. Moreover, I feel that if I continue to bicker with him, I’ll really be using his past pedantry to punish ourselves for our ignorance. I only want to be with you with a clear conscience. I’ve never been a selfless person. Saying that I’m compromising with him is just to make my life better in the future.”
“I still feel that there’s something wrong with Old Master Bo’s character. However, to Shen Fanxing, regardless of whether the problem is with her or not, with her feelings for Bo Jinchuan, she will feel a little guilty. I can’t explain the inferiority of relationships. I hope you can understand~
