Chapter 1773: Untitled
Old Master Bo sat there expressionlessly. After hearing Old Lady’s words, his expression changed.
She couldn’t stand his attitude at all and insisted on divorcing him no matter what. It made him seem like a bad person.
The judge’s mediation did not go smoothly. Looking at the indictment handed over by the old lady, he really had no excuse to side with the old man.
The old lady’s lawyer expressed the old lady’s wishes and argued that they did not agree. There were too many negative emotions accumulated over the years. In order to ensure her health in the future and to prevent unnecessary and irreparable consequences due to psychological factors, she proposed a divorce. During this period, she pointed out many of the old man’s shortcomings and filled in the reason for the divorce.
After the lawyer finished expressing his wish for the divorce, everyone looked at the old man.
“Mr Bo Qifeng, do you have anything to say about the regulations?”
Bo Qifeng said calmly, “No.”
There was nothing wrong with the reasons for suing him. They all existed. Even if he denied it, he couldn’t.
“In that case, is there any reason why you can’t divorce your wife?”
Bo Qifeng said calmly again, “No.”
…
Shen Fanxing raised an eyebrow. Wasn’t this development going too smoothly?
She had thought that the Old Master would have an absolute reason not to divorce her.
She didn’t expect it to go so smoothly.
“So, are you sure you want to get a divorce today?”
Old Master Bo closed his eyes and took a deep breath before nodding. “Yes.”
Old Lady Bo sat opposite. When she heard Old Master’s words, her eyes flickered.
A few seconds later, a smile appeared on her face.
She didn’t say anything else. This result was enough.
Shen Fanxing, who was sitting below, raised an eyebrow. From the beginning to the end, Grandma had been the one making the statement. Old Master didn’t explain anything. The entire process took less than ten minutes and he agreed so readily.
Since there were no objections, why did the Old Master have to bring this matter to court?
Given his ego and ego, she couldn’t figure out what was going on.
Bo Jinchuan watched as she leaned back in her chair and stared at the thoughtful expression on the old man’s face. He couldn’t help but smile.
This woman really couldn’t stay still.
Other women couldn’t wait to find a good man to marry. They only wanted to eat, drink, and be a comfortable wife.
She, on the other hand, had a super rich man by her side. Moreover, she had two children in her stomach. He urged her to eat, drink, and have fun every day, but she refused to listen.
What virtue did she accumulate in her previous life to find such an extraordinary woman?
Puzzled, Shen Fanxing sensed Bo Jinchuan’s gaze on her. She turned to look at him and raised an eyebrow. She gave him a smile before turning her attention back to the old man.
Bo Jinchuan felt jealous. This woman was curious about everything.
It was too easy to distract him. The attention he received was limited.
Just as his face darkened, the old man said again, “I agree to the divorce, but I have a request…”
Old Lady Bo looked at him coldly. “Tell me.”
“I hope… I can visit you often… My two great-grandchildren…”
Hearing this, most people turned to look at Shen Fanxing.
The two great-grandchildren should be the two children in her stomach.
However, no matter how overboard the old man was, he still had the right to see his two great-grandchildren.
There was no need to make a request.
Upon hearing this, Shen Fanxing chuckled softly.
Indeed, he was still that old man who cared about his face.
He was unwilling to give in to her, but he was making an issue out of the old lady. To think that he could think of doing that.
How could the old lady not understand what he meant? She turned to look at Shen Fanxing.
Shen Fanxing smiled helplessly. How could she reject him in front of everyone?
Even if she really didn’t want to agree, not only would she be criticized by others, she might even be restricted by the law. This was the court. She didn’t have the right to knowingly break the law and deprive others of their responsibility and obligation.
The old lady pursed her lips and retracted her gaze. She sneered and said, “Even now, you still want to use me to scheme against me. As expected of you. Is there a need to make such a request? You’re willing to chase your children and grandchildren away. Do you think others want to bicker with you? Only you think that chasing someone out is a trustworthy thing.”
“But you’re indeed impressive to raise this question in court. If I refuse, shouldn’t the court sentence me to a few years on the spot?”
Old Master Bo pursed his lips, seemingly indifferent to the old lady’s deliberate slander. “Does that mean you agree?”
The old lady sneered but didn’t comment.
The old master nodded and said again,
“After all, we’ve been husband and wife for decades. I can’t let you leave with nothing. I won’t mistreat you in terms of compensation.”
The old lady glanced at him coldly. “I don’t need it.”
The old man gave her a deep look before glancing at the lawyer.
The lawyer stood up and held the document in his hand. He said, “Old Madam, as compensation for the divorce, apart from the old residence in HK and the Bo residence in Ping Cheng, all the properties under Old Master’s name will belong to you. The savings should be divided equally. In addition, Old Master will give you 30% of the shares of the Bo Consortium unconditionally.”
As soon as she said that, not only was Old Lady Bo shocked, but everyone below was also shocked. Although the Bo Consortium didn’t have a good reputation now, a starving camel was definitely bigger than a horse. Otherwise, the Bo Consortium would have participated in the International Economic Summit not long ago. Moreover, they would still be ranked second internationally.
30% of the shares was definitely an astronomical figure.
She had only kept two properties for herself, and the two of them had to split them equally. Even the entire Bo Consortium had been given to her.

They had been husband and wife for decades. In the end, the two of them fell out with each other in front of outsiders.
Shen Fanxing was shocked and her heart was filled with doubts.
Hadn’t Old Master already given all his shares to Second Uncle?
Then where did he get the 30% shares?
At the thought of this, she looked around but did not see Bo Yuelin.
Frowning slightly, she suddenly turned to look at Bo Jinchuan and asked in a low voice, “Where have you been these few days?”
She had asked him at the door just now, but he had answered with a question.
Bo Jinchuan turned to look at her and she asked, “Where’s Second Uncle? Where did Old Master get the 30% shares?”
Did Old Master take the shares from Jinghang or Second Uncle?
“Which question do you want me to answer?”
Shen Fanxing glanced at him and said, “The first one.”
Bo Jinchuan pursed his lips and glanced at the old man. He said calmly, “Not long ago, we found the reason for the accident on our parents’ plane, so we resolved the matter together.”
Shen Fanxing paused and asked, “Is it… Second Uncle?”
She asked carefully. After all, Bo Yuelin was Bo Jinchuan’s uncle. If she didn’t, it would be awkward.
Bo Jinchuan’s expression darkened. “He’s in contact with Ye Jingyun. He should have known your identity long ago. That’s why he tried to matchmake Yuan Sichun and me with Grandpa. Although Yuan Sichun has Ye Jingyun, the adopted daughter of the Queen of Country Y, as her backer, she’s nothing to be afraid of compared to this real princess of the royal family. Moreover, he and Ye Jingyun are considered allies. There’s no harm to him if you don’t get recognized by the royal family. On the contrary, he will obtain the convenience that Ye Jingyun brings him. But if you get recognized by the royal family, I’ll definitely be targeted and suppressed by the royal family. That’s not a bad thing for him.”
“He wants the best of both worlds just to get the Bo Consortium.”
Bo Jinchuan said in a low voice as he looked at the old man in front of him. It was as though he was talking about something normal. Even his tone was calm.
Shen Fanxing remained silent. She couldn’t guess Bo Yuelin’s thoughts, but she was surprised that he knew her true identity.
“He has helped Ye Jingyun a lot while he’s by her side. What you’ve encountered in the past is also a product of his cooperation with Ye Jingyun. He has been doing all sorts of things. He has hired fake reviewers to attack her online. There are even reporters who were reprimanded by you not long ago…”

Shen Fanxing listened quietly as her face darkened. Not long after, she sneered coldly.
“He looks mature and steady on the surface, but he’s actually a despicable person who uses underhanded means. I knew that he had designs on the Bo Consortium, but I didn’t expect him to do this. I was indeed blind this time and thought too highly of him.”
Bo Jinchuan didn’t speak, but Shen Fanxing felt a chill and anger.
“So, the accident on that plane was also his doing? Back then, Mother left in a fit of anger and Father followed closely behind. Old Master must have been unhappy with the two of them, so he took back Father’s shares and passed them to him, right? Just because of the shares in Father’s hands, he even wanted to harm his own brother and sister-in-law?”
She wasn’t an irrational person. Despite her anger, she tried her best to suppress it.
Since Bo Jinchuan said that he had settled some matters and the shares were in Old Master’s hands, something must have happened to him.
The reason there was no news now was probably because Bo Jinchuan had deliberately suppressed the matter.
Although he couldn’t wait to announce Bo Yuelin’s actions to the public, Ah Chuan must have his reasons for suppressing the matter.
Bo Jinchuan’s face darkened, but sensing Shen Fanxing’s agitation, he reached out to hold her hand.
“I’m sorry, the outcome is not satisfactory for you.”
Shen Fanxing’s anger subsided because of Bo Jinchuan’s sudden apology. She looked up at the old lady and took a deep breath.
“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have known that he had done so many things. I was anxious just now. No matter how evil he is, he’s still Grandma’s son. If Grandma knew what he had done, I can’t imagine how disappointed she would be. If anything happens to her health, it won’t be worth it.”
Bo Jinchuan felt even more guilty for her compromise and understanding. He was even more honest with Shen Fanxing.
“Brother has performed well in the army. The past few years have been the most critical period. If Second Uncle’s matter is exposed… his reputation in the army will plummet and he won’t be able to keep his military uniform.”
“No matter what happens to Second Uncle, I still admire Eldest Brother’s character. Regardless of how high his military rank and achievements will be in the future, and how much glory he will bring to the Bo family, he is an indispensable soldier to the country. In this aspect, I have my own selfish motives…”
Shen Fanxing nodded lightly and held Bo Jinchuan’s hand.
“You don’t have to blame yourself. I can still differentiate between these kinds of things. Big Brother shouldn’t bear the consequences for Second Uncle. Grandma has just said that everyone has their own life, and it’s only once. No one can try to interfere. Ruling someone else’s life won’t make them feel true happiness.”
“I only hope that I can spend the rest of my life with the children and you. I don’t want to care about the lives of others.”
Bo Jinchuan squeezed her hand and said, “I will.”
Old Lady Bo was equally surprised by Bo Qifeng’s arrangement. She frowned at him and said coldly, “You’re giving all of this to me? Do you want me to manage the company again when I’m 70 or 80 years old? Isn’t the Bo Consortium your beloved? What do you mean by giving me your flesh? Do you want me to pity you? That won’t happen because I’ve always known that there must be something hateful about a pitiful person. Don’t try to act pitiful to me.”
Old Master Bo heaved a long sigh and stood up slowly. “Don’t worry, I’ve left half of my assets for myself. It’s not to the extent of making you pity me. These things have no meaning to me anymore. Just treat it as doing me a favor. You have the final say on how to handle it. I have no right to interfere with your arrangements anymore.”
He paused for a moment. “… I’ll leave the divorce procedures to the lawyer. I’ll definitely satisfy you. I’m tired. I’ll get going first.”
With that, he looked up at the judge. The judge snapped out of his trance and ended the trial that lasted less than twenty minutes.
The old lady sat on the spot and watched as the old man left. Her face was still tense. In the end, she stood up coldly and Lou Ruoyi hurriedly went forward to support her.
Shen Fanxing stood up slowly. After Old Master Shen announced the compensation, she finally had an answer.
