In the large living room, Bo Huaijing sat on the main seat, with his stepmother sitting next to him and his mother Zhao Xinlan sitting next to him.
The three of them were talking and laughing, the atmosphere was harmonious, and the mother's face showed happiness and joy that he had never seen before.
He frowned: "Mom? What are you doing here?"
When Zhao Xinlan saw her son coming in, the smile on her face froze and she stood up in embarrassment.
What he wanted to say, Bo Huaijing beside him said first:
"Xiaojiu, you are back. I have tried hard to think about my problems in the past few days. It was me who was wrong and I was sorry for your mother. So I specially discussed with your stepmother and decided to bring your mother back and let her enter.
Our Bo family.
From now on, she will be a member of the Bo family and my second wife, Bo Huaijing, and everyone will respect her and recognize her."
He spoke domineeringly and seriously, as if he was announcing something important.
Indeed, the Bo family is a century-old family with a distinguished family tradition and great prestige. It must be a joy to be included in the Bo family's family tree.
However, this is meaningless to Bo Zhanye.
He looked at Zhao Xinlan: "No need. Mom, come back with me."
Zhao Xinlan pursed her lips: "...Xiaoye, I..."
"Xiaojiu, what do you mean?" Bo Huaijing interrupted and said with some displeasure:
"I brought your mother back as an apology to her and as a recognition of her.
You should not only think about her reputation, but also think about her life.
You are either busy with work or with Lan Xixi's wedding all day long. How can you have time to spend with your mother?
Besides, you and Lan Xixi will have to live your own life as a young couple after marriage, and it will be inconvenient for your mother to live with you.
She is in the Bo family, with me and your stepmother, we will treat her well, and I will make it up to her.
Do you want her to live her whole life without a name, no status, and be lonely and helpless?"
Bo Zhanye's face darkened: "You don't need to be pretentious here, I will take care of my mother."
Then his eyes fell on Zhao Xinlan and motioned for her to follow him.
But... Zhao Xinlan stood there with no intention of leaving.
Bo Zhanye was a little angry: "Don't you remember what he did to you back then? How did he ignore your existence? Now you forgive me with just a few words?"
The tone was a bit harsh, if she wasn't his biological mother, he might have called her stupid.
However, Zhao Xinlan looked at his anger and lowered her head in embarrassment: "I...I have been waiting for this apology for decades. Xiaoye...I..."
"So, you decided to stay here? Well, I respect your choice."
After Bo Zhanye finished speaking, he glanced at Bo Huaijing coldly, turned around, and left.
"Xiaoye..." Zhao Xinlan wanted to chase.
Bo Huaijing held her back; "Xiaoye is a sensible and filial child, give him some time and he will figure it out.
What's more, a man always has to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan, and have someone to rely on when he is old. If he doesn't come back, what does this family mean if he doesn't recognize it?
You are also doing it for his own good."
Zhao Xinlan's face was gloomy.
She was willing to go back to Bo's house because she had true feelings for Bo Huaijing back then. Now, decades later, he was willing to apologize and give her a home, which finally made her suffer.
Her son, who is also an upright young master of the Bo family, is not an illegitimate child.
She is also the wife of the Bo family, not a shady woman.
In addition, her son has not recognized the Bo family or his father all year round because of her. She does not want him to hold a grudge in his heart forever.
A family should be harmonious and beautiful.
...
villa.
Bo Zhanye was in a very bad mood.
Sheng Chen and Xiao Ziyu received the news and rushed over: "What's wrong? Are you preparing for a wedding?"
"What's there to be unhappy about?"
Bo Zhanye poured three glasses of red wine and said in a low voice, "My mother took her children back to her old house."
"Ah? Your mother? Isn't she not accepted by... Bo Huaijing?"
"Why go back?"
The two of them were confused. They knew what happened back then and Bo Huaijing's attitude.
