Chapter 241 Grandma Bo and Grandma Lu were once best friends
Hearing this, He Yan looked over in surprise.
I never imagined that Grandma Bo and Madam Lu were best friends when they were young.
It seems there's more to this story.
Moreover, Madam Lu never mentioned it.
However, judging from Grandma Bo's expression, He Yan guessed that the two must have broken up.
The main reason is that after she married into the Bo family, she didn't actually bother to find out about those details. In fact, she knew very little about Bo Siheng. Thinking about it, she was indeed a bit negligent.
He Yan suddenly realized that Bo Siheng and Lu Yanzhe must have known each other when they were children.
However, something happened later that caused the two families to drift apart.
A soft laugh drew Bo Siheng's attention.
He turned his head and saw that He Yan's lips still had a smile that hadn't faded.
"What funny thing has come to mind, Madam?"
Bo Siheng turned his head and whispered a question close to He Yan's cheek.
He Yan hummed in agreement, her eyes showing a hint of dazedness as she turned her head.
She just happened to recall what Jingning had told her before: Bo Siheng was just as cold and aloof as he was now when he was a child; to put it bluntly, he was a withdrawn person who didn't like to communicate with others.
but……
He's so handsome now, which means he must have been really cute as a child.
He Yan couldn't help but imagine a scene in her mind.
As a child, Bo Siheng's innocent face was filled with a serious expression that kept strangers at bay.
He probably doesn't have many friends, since kids prefer sunny, cheerful people to old-fashioned ones.
Perhaps Lu Yanzhe is the most obvious contrast to him.
Now, the two Bo Sihengs gradually overlap.
"You!"
He Yan came to her senses, a smile she couldn't hide playing on her lips.
She was also answering Bo Siheng's question.
Bo Siheng was stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with a hidden sense of crisis. Lu Yanzhe's initiative to visit him was very irritating to him. He deliberately brought up the matter of the two grandmothers, with sinister intentions.
Ke Heyan was completely unaware and continued to act so cute in front of him.
"If you like seeing me, I'll show you around when we get back."
Bo Siheng was a little anxious, especially since He Yan was staring at him so directly.
His eyes were full of doting affection, and he could barely suppress the smile on his face.
Lu Yanzhe felt very unhappy when he saw the interaction between the two, and more so because he was biased after being deceived.
He felt that He Yan had no choice but to marry someone due to unavoidable difficulties.
Such a marriage was nothing short of a constraint for her.
Seeing her grandson and Xiaoyan so affectionate, Madam Bo smiled and felt much better.
Hmph! Her grandson got married, but Yan Lihua's grandson is still single.
She won this round!
“Young man from the Lu family, I appreciate your kindness, but I’m afraid your wife doesn’t want to see me either.”
The expression on Madam Bo's face clearly indicated that she wanted to see the guests off.
She had wanted to get rid of him for a long time.
"Mom, President Lu is interested in cooperating with the Bo family, which is also to repair the relationship between the two families."
Bo Yuanzhou was very agitated because his plans were being thwarted.
It seems that President Lu saw through his intentions.
But he couldn't get angry; instead, he had to go and negotiate with President Lu, otherwise his plan couldn't be implemented.
"Yes, Mother-in-law, it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester."
Jung Ka-yung was also smiling apologetically from the side.
Both he and his wife wanted the marriage to go smoothly.
"Madam is too kind. My grandmother saw that Second Master Bo was sending gifts and visiting, and knew that the Bo family was trying to curry favor. So this was also her wish. I was just relaying it on her behalf."
Lu Yanzhe's smile was both respectful and arrogant.
He felt inexplicably pleased to use Bo Yuanzhou's flattery to pressure Bo Siheng.
"Ha, Yan Lihua hasn't changed a bit since then."
Madam Bo gave a cold laugh; this was what angered her the most.
Her good-for-nothing son couldn't wait to curry favor with others for his own purposes.
Now he's being ridiculed, which is a slap in the face for himself.
This caused her to lose the composure she had maintained for most of her life.
"Since the old lady says so, I will take it as a yes. Miss He Yan, I hope you will do me the honor of attending. Grandma will be very happy, as she has always liked you very much."
Lu Yanzhe also wanted to take the opportunity to talk to He Yan.
He intentionally or unintentionally revealed his relationship with He Yan in front of the Bo family.
Bo Siheng's face instantly darkened.
"Mr. Lu talks too much. My wife may not have time."
He was already wary of Lu Yanzhe's visit to Beijing.
Although the Bo family is not afraid of the Lu family's threats, it's hard to say what will happen if the second uncle really cooperates with Lu Yanzhe.
“Sure, I’ll attend with my husband if needed.”
He Yan shook her head secretly; Lu Yanzhe's attitude was unpleasant.
She was in the Bo family, and she couldn't just stand by and watch him do whatever he wanted.
Bo Siheng already had enough troubles.
In any case, we cannot allow Bo Yuanzhou and Lu Yanzhe to reach a marriage agreement.
That's not just a threat from Bo Siheng, but also a threat to Jingning's entire life.
Madam Bo was very satisfied with He Yan's words.
The expression on her face relaxed a little.
With Xiao Yan and Si Heng on the same page, she could confidently entrust the Bo family to them.
Bo Jingning's expression never relaxed from the moment she entered.
She was also very unhappy, because she felt that President Lu had the audacity to come to the Bo family to provoke them.
Was he trying to steal He Yan from his brother?
"Mr. Lu, my brother and sister-in-law have a great relationship right now. They do everything together, and no one else can interfere. Isn't it inappropriate for you to ask her out in front of my brother?"
"Miss Jingning, do you mean you'd like me to ask you out alone?"
Lu Yanzhe turned around and smiled like a fox.
This girl is naive, but she's also really outspoken.
"Of course not! I won't go either!"
Bo Jingning immediately took a step back, her face even more wary.
She doesn't want to sacrifice her marriage.
She doesn't interfere with the cooperation between the two companies, but it absolutely cannot involve personal relationships; these are two separate matters.
Bo Yuanzhou watched as Bo Siheng and Lu Yanzhe were locked in a fierce confrontation, yet equally matched.
He suddenly felt that it would be better to sit back and watch the tigers fight.
Regardless of which side loses, or whether both sides suffer heavy losses.
He can reap the benefits without lifting a finger.
He Yan felt that today's events were indeed somewhat unexpected, and Lu Yanzhe was at the center of this accident.
The news must have been approved by him before it was released, but then he came to the Bo family to clarify.
This disrupted her rhythm.
She is now helping Bo Siheng, and also helping the Bo family.
“President Lu, you represent the entire Lu family, not just yourself. This is going too far.”
Since guests are guests, the Bo family had no reason to turn them away, so they could only arrange a small private banquet on the spot.
He Yan also took the opportunity during the preparation time to talk to Lu Yanzhe and make things clear.
"Miss He Yan, what did I do wrong?"
Lu Yanzhe rarely showed an innocent side.
He was a little unhappy because He Yan would actually help the Bo family.
"I'm just here on behalf of my grandmother to catch up with Madam Bo. Besides, my grandmother really likes you. I'm just telling the truth. Just because we have different stances doesn't mean we're enemies, right?"
"..."
He Yan felt that Lu Yanzhe was more sharp than before.
Madam Bo frowned, clearly surprised.
"Aheng, why are Xiaoyan and that Lu family boy so familiar with each other?"
"Xiaoyan said that they knew each other before, but had not been in contact since."
Bo Siheng was unaware of He Yan's past. He was annoyed and jealous, but he couldn't lose his composure, otherwise it would only embolden Lu Yanze. The secret between them was what made him uneasy.
"Silly boy, you're legal, what are you afraid of?"
Madam Bo was angry with her grandson for his lack of ambition.
Both of their eyes followed He Yan.
At that moment, He Yan seemed to sense it and turned around, giving Bo Siheng a smug smile.
He showed Lu Yanzhe his attitude through his actions.
"Then let the head of our family entertain President Lu!"
