Chapter 1010: Chapter 1007: She’s Quite Good!

"Boss, can you wait until you’re back at the company before calling your junior sister?"

Yan Bo couldn’t be bothered with him and pressed the shortcut key to make the call.

As Di Xu started the car and reversed out of the parking spot, he complained in a low voice, "Boss, you’re too mean. Don’t you think about the feelings of us singles?"

Taking advantage of the fact that the phone hadn’t connected yet, Yan Bo gave Di Xu a cool glance, "Then hurry up and find someone!"

Truthfully speaking, Di Xu’s qualifications in all aspects were not bad, and being single was probably due to being genuinely busy with work but also perhaps enjoying the freedom of being single.

And Yan Bo himself had been one of them just half a year ago.

"If there were someone as easy to deal with as the junior sister, I wouldn’t mind at all."

In Di Xu’s view, the cost of his boss’s romance, in terms of time and effort, was not that much, and definitely not much in terms of money either. But then, who among those two cared about money?

Generally speaking, the depth of a relationship typically corresponds directly with the time, effort, and thought invested in it.

However, the relationship between the boss and junior sister, despite not having time to experience many of the ordinary little things between common couples, was incredibly close and affectionate.

Their compatibility and trust were high enough to make anyone envious.

After Yan Bo finally finished the call, Di Xu couldn’t help saying, "Boss, to be honest, although I’m not very clear about the details of your family affairs, I think this time you really need to give the junior sister a proper explanation."

Di Xu’s position, in principle, should be on Yan Bo’s side.

But regarding this incident of losing contact, it was his boss who owed the junior sister too much, which made him irresistibly want to stand up for justice.

Yan Bo glanced at him, "Hmm, I know. This time, I indeed made her suffer and she went through a lot."

Tong Xiaohua had not mentioned much to him about how difficult and torturous it had been for her recently.

But from the accounts given by Tao Jia, his elder brother and sister, Di Xu, and Uncle Du, it was clear she had been having a very tough time.

And she, without much complaint, just slapped him twice and was placated.

To be honest, even he, the offender, felt that his punishment was too light.

"Ah... Boss, I know you surely have your difficulties, but let me tell you, if you end up driving away a girl like the junior sister, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life."

"Hmm, I know. Thank you for the reminder."

This incident was obviously a setup by Old Ye.

But this sort of setup was something he found hard to fault.

Because his mother’s illness was real. And the urgent crisis that had him rushed into the top-secret facility was indeed critical.

One could only say that experience speaks for itself. Old Ye had used every external condition to his advantage, playing a fierce game with him and Tong Xiaohua.

What tactics would Old Ye employ next?

The first time, he cut off his capital chain. The second time, he tried to uproot the Tong Family. The third time, he went straight for a wedge strategy. What about the fourth, fifth, sixth, or even more?

Yan Bo rested his forehead on his hand, sinking into deep thought.

Back in Capital City, his mother’s illness was finally showing signs of improvement. After discussing with the doctors, she had his Uncle Cui help her with the discharge procedures, and the hospital arranged transportation for her to be sent home.

Just after getting settled, Tao Jia, who had already returned to Capital City these past couple of days, received a tip and came to visit her.

After some pleasantries, Tao Jia handed over a large box to Uncle Cui.

"Aunt Qing, originally, Xiao Hua asked me not to say anything and to just pretend it was from me, but I didn’t feel that was right. Inside this box is a month’s supply of Chinese medicine. It’s said to be prescribed by an Old Chinese Doctor who’s been out of the public eye for a while. This Doctor Dong is quite famous, you’ve probably heard of him. If you’re not certain, have a family doctor look over the medicine to see if you can take it."

This medicine was sent by Tong Xiaohua to Tao Jia a couple of days ago, asking her to bring it to Yan Bo’s mother.

Tong Xiaohua initially told Tao Jia to say nothing but to simply claim it was her gift.

But later, probably not wanting to trouble Tao Jia, after all, this was medicine, not just some tasty snack, she sent another message telling Tao Jia to explain it the way she did.

Tao Jia had chosen the latter, not because she was afraid of being implicated by Tong Xiaohua.

Rather, she felt that since Tong Xiaohua had done so much for Yan Bo’s mother, it wasn’t fair to just erase Tong Xiaohua’s kindness for no reason.

Yan Bo’s mother’s expression darkened slightly, glancing at Uncle Cui, who was holding the large box uncertain of how to react, "First put the medicine in the kitchen. We’ll have a doctor come by later to check it. After all, it’s medicine, we can’t be careless."

Although Tao Jia had always been close to Yan Bo’s mother since she was young, she was never one to read the room very well.

"Aunt Qing, I feel like Xiao Hua is a really nice person. Why don’t you and Uncle Yan like her?"

Such direct undercover work was quite frank of her.

However, neither Tong Xiaohua nor Yan Bo had ever considered using her to infiltrate and gather intelligence.

She thought that since she was both Yan Bo’s childhood friend and Tong Xiaohua’s good sister, she naturally had to go to the front lines to find out what was happening for both of their sakes.

Yan Bo’s mother first looked at her, knowing this girl was simple-minded and outspoken, harboring no hard feelings, only gesturing for her to sit by the bed and asking.

"When did you two become friends?"

Yan Bo’s mother felt like a failure. Clearly, this girl was the daughter-in-law she and Old Ye wanted to bring into the family. Wasn’t she supposed to be like those depicted on television, engaged in a life-or-death struggle with Tong Xiaohua, as bitter enemies?

Yet, not only was that not the case, but she was here speaking well of Tong Xiaohua.

Should she call her foolish or acknowledge that Tong Xiaohua’s skills were too formidable?

She had not only enchanted her precious son into confusion, but Tao Jia, a potential rival, had also been won over.

Tao Jia either truly didn’t know any better or felt there was no need to hide such matters, and spilled everything about her trip to L City to play with Yan Bo and Tong Xiaohua, like spilling beans.

Yan Bo’s mother’s face didn’t reveal much, but her feelings were indeed complex.

As it turned out, her own son was pushing matters along.

"Jiajia, do you think Yan Bo is smart?"

Tao Jia looked up at Yan Bo’s mother, puzzled, "Aunt Qing, whether your son is smart, isn’t that something you should say? If I even had a tenth of his intelligence, my father would probably go burn incense at the family graves out of gratitude."

Yan Bo’s mother fell silent for a while, "Yes, I’ve always thought he was smart. His affairs, there’s no need for his dad and me to worry about. But who would’ve known, he could be clever most of his life, yet be foolish in this instance. Why did he choose someone like her to be his girlfriend, insisting that she is the one for life?"

Yan Bo’s mother looked forlorn. She had kept these words bottled up inside for quite a long time and really wanted someone to talk to about it.

On the other hand, she hoped her words could pull Tao Jia back to her side as an ally.

"Aunt Qing, Xiao Hua, she’s really quite nice!"
