Chapter 1772: Untitled
“You!”
Bo Qifeng’s face darkened and he was about to flare up. However, the old lady’s cold gaze made his anger subside.
Yes, he couldn’t.
He was here to make peace today, not to argue with her.
Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, he said again, “What do you want me to do? What should I do to stop you from causing trouble…”
Impatience filled Old Lady Bo’s eyes. “Do you not understand human language, or do you have dementia and can’t hear others?”
Bo Qifeng’s face couldn’t help but twitch as his hand holding the walking stick trembled uncontrollably.
The old lady could guess that Bo Qifeng’s patience had run out.
From the moment he appeared here today, she knew that the words she said last time did not make him decide to let her go.
Today, she had used both carrot and stick. Since he still refused to give up, he could only blame himself for what happened next.
…
Moreover, she didn’t mean to provoke him.
That was the truth.
“Bo Qifeng, I’ve already said so much. Do you think I’ll leave any leeway between us?”
The old lady emphasized again and suddenly sneered. “Perhaps you think that I’m the one who suggested the divorce to embarrass you. Why don’t I explain to those reporters again? Actually, I wasn’t willing to get a divorce. You were the one who insisted on getting a divorce. I was just forced to fulfill your wish, okay?”
“Anyway, you’re addicted to chasing people away. You want to chase your son out, your daughter-in-law out, and your grandson out. Is there anything you haven’t chased away? Isn’t there only me left? It’s alright, I won’t fuss about it. You should chase me out too, lest I’m the only one left. You’re an obsessive-compulsive patient.”
After saying that, she stood up with difficulty. “Divorce is inevitable. As for the final outcome, it’s up to you. As long as you can get a divorce, you can do whatever you want.”
Surprise flashed across Bo Qifeng’s eyes when he saw the old lady standing up.
“You…”
“Do you want to talk about my leg? Yes, in order to take care of my two future great-grandchildren, I haven’t been idle these few days. No matter how much pain I have to endure, I have to make myself better because only when I’m healthy enough can I take care of my great-grandchildren for a few more years. This is what we should do at our age.”
“Even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand. In your eyes, the Bo Consortium is always the most important.”
Bo Qifeng’s gaze was still on the old lady’s legs. Upon hearing her words, he slowly looked up at her.
“You said… two…”
The old lady glanced at him and sneered sarcastically.
“Who hid it from you?”
Bo Qifeng fell silent as the scene of Jingchuan and Shen Fanxing mentioning the child flashed across his mind.
Ever since he went to look for them before the international summit and heard them fighting to name their child outside the restaurant, he seemed to have revealed…
Joy gradually appeared on her face, but it dimmed after a while.
Two great-grandchildren…
And yet…
Seeing the change in his expression, the old lady’s face turned cold again. “I don’t want to see you now. Please leave immediately. You’d better take the initiative to hand me the divorce agreement. Otherwise, when the court opens and the divorce is decided in front of the media… Wouldn’t that be even more embarrassing for you?”
“Do you really think we should take this step?” Bo Qifeng asked solemnly.
“Do you think everything I’ve said to you is nonsense?”
Bo Qifeng was surprised by her vulgar words, but this proved that Wei Li’s determination was irrevocable.
He stood up slowly and let out a long sigh. After a long while, he opened his eyes slowly and took a deep look at Wei Li before leaving the villa silently.
Wei Li didn’t know what he was thinking, but he knew that Bo Qifeng had no reason to continue pestering him.
Lai Rong looked at the old lady helplessly. “Old Madam, it’s been so many years. Why are you doing this? It’s rare for Old Master to give in…”

She had been by the old lady’s side for so many years. Ever since the old lady moved out 30 years ago, although the two of them did not live together, the old man had instructed her to send a steady stream of daily necessities, rare items, and things that the old lady liked every few weeks.
Although the old lady didn’t say anything, she knew that someone as smart as her must know.
It wasn’t that the old man didn’t have her in his heart.
But in this lifetime, she didn’t know how to be honest with her lover.
She had lived most of her life and had countless arguments and disagreements with her husband. Sometimes, she even thought of getting a divorce. But after calming down, she felt that there was no need for that. Moreover, they had a child.
She didn’t want to traumatize her child, nor did she want her child to become a single parent.
She had a lot of considerations for her child. She knew that this concept shouldn’t be right in this society.
But with so many families, which mother wouldn’t want to think about her child wholeheartedly?
Back then, if it weren’t for the fact that the Old Lady was afraid that her divorce with the Old Master would affect the Young Master and Young Lady negatively and even make them feel guilty about this matter, they wouldn’t have ended up like this 30 years later.
After all these years, she could live her own life and wait for her precious great-grandson to descend.
Wouldn’t that be a happy life?
Old Lady Bo shook her head and said, “If he doesn’t do that, he will never realize how many mistakes he has made in his life.”
“But there’s no need for a divorce…”
“No, I want to tell him that what he has done is unforgivable and there is no room for regret. If I forgive him in the end, or if I compromise, he might still think that he has a way out. Lai Rong, his mistake is unforgivable. Why should I forgive him?”

Lai Rong paused.
Yes, it was an unforgivable mistake to begin with. How could she forgive him?
Sometimes, things in the world were like that. There was no absolute right or wrong, nor was there a straightforward choice. Many things had great contradictions, so choices became choices.
In the next few days, the old lady did not receive any agreement from the old man.
It was time for the court session.
Shen Fanxing didn’t expect this matter to be brought to court.
The old man refused to divorce Grandma and it took so long.
She thought that with his personality, he would agree out of embarrassment. In the end, he went to court.
On the way to the court, Shen Fanxing asked Bo Jinchuan, “What does Old Master want? Does he not want a divorce or is there something he needs from Grandma?”
Bo Jinchuan pursed his lips and said, “I’m not sure, but there shouldn’t be anything on Grandma that he wants. When Grandma moved out, there was nothing.”
Shen Fanxing raised an eyebrow and leaned lazily in his embrace.
“Then what is Old Master thinking? He’s such a prideful person, why would he let this matter blow up in court?”
Bo Jinchuan pursed his lips and flicked her forehead.
“Can’t you stay idle? Can’t your head be filled with entertainment?”
Shen Fanxing clutched her aching head and glared at him. “You heartless Daddy.”
Bo Jinchuan grinned and said, “Yes, Daddy has to be more heartless.”
Shen Fanxing pouted and said, “You’ve raised me to be an idiot. Will you have a reason to chase me out in the future?”
Bo Jinchuan frowned and said, “I think you need to be taught a lesson now.”
Shen Fanxing straightened her body and distanced herself from him. She held her stomach and said with a pained expression, “Babies, don’t worry. Even if I’m really chased away by Daddy one day, I’ll leave with you and find you a new father…”
Bo Jinchuan’s face darkened and he wrapped his long legs around Shen Fanxing’s legs. With a tug, he pulled her into his embrace.
Shen Fanxing sat firmly in his embrace and instinctively clutched his shirt.
Before she could scream, she was bitten on the lips.
“How dare you!”
Shen Fanxing bit her lips and looked at him resentfully.
“If you dare to think about these things again, I’ll skin you alive.”
Yu Song was almost killed by the two of them.
If they wanted to flirt, so be it. If they wanted to skin her alive, so be it. She even wanted a beautiful face.
You’re the best in the world.
Shen Fanxing couldn’t help but smile. “You’re so fierce, yet you don’t allow others to have any ideas? Anyway, I don’t care. If you bully me in the future, I’ll do that…”
Bo Jinchuan snorted and said, “Just you wait. When these two brats come out, I’ll teach you a lesson…”
Shen Fanxing blushed. This man’s words were too explicit.
She buried her face in his arms and bit her lips.
She didn’t believe it. She didn’t know how many times he had won with his mouth. She had long sworn not to force herself with him, but she still couldn’t help it…
Bo Jinchuan was in a good mood as he watched the shy woman in his arms.
The car soon arrived at the entrance of the court. The moment they alighted, the reporters surrounded them.
The questions were all about the divorce. Bo Jinchuan and Shen Fanxing were no longer chatting happily in the car. At this moment, both of them were expressionless and tense as they walked forward silently.
At this moment, one was the aloof and unapproachable CEO of the “Ming” Corporation.
One was the intelligent and powerful CEO of Stars International.
Even though Shen Fanxing was pregnant, she still gave off a cold and domineering vibe.
When the two of them stood together, they looked surprisingly compatible.
Many people were guessing how these two indifferent people got along.
However, they didn’t expect that the two of them, who were cold and domineering in front of them, were still flirting a few minutes ago.
The strong and aloof woman hid shyly in the arms of the tall and handsome man beside her.
If these people knew about their situation back then, their eyes would pop out of their sockets.
Yu Song had arranged for bodyguards to protect them at all times.
They only cared about walking forward. Not long after, another car stopped at the entrance of the court. Bo Jinchuan and Shen Fanxing stood on the steps and looked over.
Lou Ruoyi and the old lady alighted from the car.
The reporters paused before giving up on Bo Jinchuan and Shen Fanxing. They surrounded the old lady and Lou Ruoyi.
“Thank you for your attention on this matter. I didn’t want to come here today, but I don’t have a choice. My stand is firm. As for what will happen today and what the outcome will be, I can’t predict it. Everyone, calm down. There will be a result.”
The old lady spoke calmly and clearly. The reporters’ questions were blocked by her casual words.
“Old Madam, have the two of you talked in private? Or has Old Master Bo never appeared?”
“We have.”
“Does that mean he doesn’t want a divorce? Or is there a property dispute between the two of you?”
Old Lady Bo smirked coldly and said, “If he’s conflicted about his assets, I can give up everything and leave with nothing.”
Everyone could hear the determination in the old lady’s words.
Shen Fanxing stood in front of Bo Jinchuan and suddenly thought of something.
“What have you been busy with these few days?”
Bo Jinchuan raised an eyebrow, not expecting Shen Fanxing to ask such a question.
“Why do you ask?”
Shen Fanxing smirked and said, “I’ve asked Wen Xuchen. You haven’t been taking care of the company’s matters these two days. It’s obvious that you’ve been very busy recently.”
Bo Jinchuan frowned and glanced at her. “When did you get his contact number?”
Shen Fanxing’s eyes darted to the old lady not far away.
“I forgot.”
The bodyguards escorted Lou Ruoyi and the old lady. Shen Fanxing smiled at the two elders before they entered the court.
In the break room, the old lady didn’t look too good. Her face was tense and ugly.
The few of them remained silent.
The so-called decision must have been made after struggling and struggling. After being together for decades, it was unrealistic not to feel anything.
The atmosphere in the lounge was tense. When the court session finally started, the old lady stood up and walked out of the lounge in a daze.
…
In the courtroom, the two old men sat facing each other.
Usually, when there was a divorce in court, one had to try to matchmake them. In order not to take this last step, one had to try their best not to leave. Moreover, the two of them were very old.
However, the old lady interrupted them. “You don’t have to say this. Since I’m sitting here, I don’t think I’ll go back on my word. Today, I’m here to get a divorce. The other party can ask for anything he wants. If he cares about his assets, he doesn’t have to worry at all. I can leave with nothing. I can agree to anything as long as he agrees to divorce me.”
