Chapter 861: Chapter 858: Tricked into Going Home

The next day, Yan Bo reached an agreement with the boss of the decoration company, but in the afternoon, he suddenly received a call from home telling him that his mother was ill and asked him to come back immediately.

Anxious, Yan Bo hurried back to Capital City, and as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he heard his mother’s hearty laughter

Yan Bo frowned slightly and instinctively retracted his step.

The driver who picked him up hurriedly revealed the truth, "Third Young Master, the Master really missed you and couldn’t think of any other way, so he had to make up such a reason to deceive you into coming back."

Because Yan Bo had gone off to L City to start a business on his own, Yan Zhong was angry with this youngest son and, after cursing at him, told him if he left, he shouldn’t come back.

Of course, Yan Bo hadn’t really fallen out with his family, it was just that Yanhuang Real Estate had been incredibly busy since its inception, so ever since he had fought with Yan Zhong, he hadn’t been back to Capital City.

Yan Zhong probably thought that his berating had truly driven away his son and was anxious, but he was too proud to give in to his son, so he had the butler make a call to Yan Bo, telling a big lie to trick Yan Bo into coming back.

Yan Bo stayed silent outside the courtyard for a while, and eventually, he stepped into the courtyard.

Once he returned, he stayed at home for three days in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Di Xu would report to him about important matters at Yanhuang through phone calls, which wasn’t too inconvenient.

Initially, after hearing what the driver said, he only planned to stay at home for one night to accompany his mother.

But after staying, surprisingly, he was dragged by his mother to visit others.

They went to the Yang Family, a well-known aristocratic family in Capital City.

"Mom, I’m only twenty!"

Yan Bo vaguely sensed some conspiracy in his mother’s actions, after all, Capital City’s Old Yang’s family had always had a good relationship with the Yan Family, but now wasn’t any holiday, nor was it any elder’s birthday or anything like that, so such family visits were suspicious and hard not to think of otherwise.

"Silly boy, you’re only twenty, but your brother is well beyond twenty!"

Upon hearing his mother’s words, Yan Bo understood that the purpose of this visit was for his elder brother’s lifelong issue, not his.

However, his elder brother had just helped him out, so he couldn’t just ignore this.

"Mom, all the Yang Family has are pampered misses, how could they handle running around with my brother? You should stop matchmaking!"

Yan Bo advised his mother against it, not because the daughters of Old Yang’s family were truly difficult to serve, but because he also knew that his brother had a close female friend who had supposedly fought alongside him for several years; as for when his brother could win her over, it was hard to say.

But at the very least, the family should not be dragging their feet at this time.

Yan Bo had said his piece, and he didn’t know if his mother had taken it to heart. In any case, upon arriving at Old Yang’s family, he quickly dragged Yang Sheng, Yang Lao Er’s son who was only a few years old to play, having no interest in women’s trivial matters.

However, while Yang Sheng, that mischievous kid, ran off to play, he called his elder brother.

On the other end of the phone, Yan Yuan, hearing his report, simply said "I know," and hung up the phone, seemingly busy with something else.

Having relayed the message, Yan Bo didn’t dwell on the matter anymore.

For lunch he accompanied his mother at the Yang’s, and after leaving their place, he played the role of shopping companion, spending the afternoon strolling with his mother on the streets, buying lots of food, clothing, and miscellaneous items, many of which his mother specifically bought for him to take back to L City.

Yan Bo had a falling out with his dad, but he had always been harmonious with his mother. Being the baby of the family, his mother naturally doted on him. If there was any issue, she never blamed him for anything and would only complain about his father being old-fashioned in front of him.

"Mom, Dad’s just having a hard time right now. Once my company is on track, he’ll come around,"

At this moment, Yan Bo could never have imagined that concerning his decision to abandon politics for business, his father would remain unconvinced until the end of his days.

After staying at home for three days, on the afternoon of the fourth day, Yan Bo returned to L City, dragging two suitcases full of items.

Not only did his mother buy him a bunch of clothes to keep him warm, but she also bought him many edible and usable things.

As he took out each specialty product, Yan Bo naturally divided a large bag among them. However, in the end, he sighed looking at the big bag of edible specialty products and stored it in the storage cabinet.

Counting from the day they parted at the bar, it had been over a week since he last saw Tong Xiaohua.

During this week, he deliberately avoided contacting her, even intentionally refraining from inquiring about her whereabouts.

And she, as if she had truly resolved to cut off all ties with him, hadn’t sent him a single word in so long.

Yan Bo gave a wry smile as he brushed aside his hanging hair strands and stood up, carrying a large bag of food, leaving his residence to return to the office.

A group of employees, dog-tired, happily took the specialties brought back by the boss from Capital City and went on to share them. Di Xu also mingled among the staff to grab some food and, after a hard struggle, secured a pack of preserved fruit, only to hear his boss calling him from behind.

"Di Xu, bring me the budget for the Commercial City,"

Beyond L City’s large-scale villa complex spanning L City, Yanhuang Real Estate had recently taken on a Commercial City project.

Handing over the budget data to Yan Bo, Di Xu said, "Young Master, the renovation of the sauna has been nearly settled by Manager Liu, who has arranged to sign the contract tomorrow."

During Yan Bo’s few days back in Capital City, he had not bothered with this matter, but Di Xu, being a clever person, understood that the sauna issue was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Therefore, he relayed the situation reported by Manager Liu over the phone.

Sure enough, Yan Bo, who had been looking down at the budget data, looked up and listened attentively to the report, then immediately instructed him, "After the contract is signed, have Manager Liu send over the construction schedule."

Although Di Xu felt puzzled, he dared not ask further questions and nodded in agreement.

"All right, go have something to eat. I’m treating tonight; whatever you guys want to eat or do, it’s on me,"

Upon hearing this, Di Xu joyfully went out and announced the boss’s dinner treat. Outside, there was a bustling commotion, presumably discussing where to go and what to do that evening.

Yan Bo had always been very generous with his staff. In the past, he would also join in the fun with everyone, after all, he was a young chap himself.

However, when Di Xu poked his head in to tell him the location of the gathering, Yan Bo replied, "I’ve made plans with a friend tonight and won’t be joining you guys. Have fun!"

The so-called plans with a friend were all lies.

For dinner, he casually ordered a business set meal at the Western restaurant across from the company. After eating, he returned to his residence to continue arranging the myriad items his mother had packed for him.

He had already sorted through one entire suitcase, which was mostly snacks or ready-to-eat food items. The remaining suitcase, to his surprise, was filled entirely with cooking ingredients, including several tonics for making soup.

Seeing these tonics, Yan Bo couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.

Previously, to put his mother’s mind at ease, he had hastily told her he had hired a nanny with good culinary skills to take care of his diet and living arrangements. Seeing these tonics, it was clear she had taken his words at face value.
