Chapter 114 He's nothing but my cousin's dog

The driver gripped the steering wheel tightly and asked curiously, "Mr. Bo was known for his kindness and did many good deeds during his lifetime. He must have adopted him out of pity."

The woman said disdainfully, "There are plenty of pitiful children in this world."

The driver paused, "What's that?"

The woman curled her lips into a sinister smile, "He's nothing but my cousin's dog."

The driver's breath hitched, a chill ran down his spine, and he dared not reply.

The woman looked out the window, the streetlights occasionally flashing across her face, and her expression grew increasingly fierce.

Arrived at the old Bo family residence.

Upon hearing the servants' report, Ning Wanzhen excitedly went downstairs to greet them personally.

"Xin'er, you still know how to come back."

Ning Xin'er's nose tingled, and her eyes reddened. "Auntie, I'm sorry, I should have come to see you sooner..."

She only managed to say one sentence before she could no longer speak.

Ning Wanzhen hugged her tightly. "Alright, Auntie knows you can't leave. Come on, let's go upstairs."

"Okay." Ning Xin'er sniffed and smiled slightly.

After taking a couple of steps, she feigned innocence and said, "Auntie, shouldn't I go see my cousin-in-law first? After all, she's the head of the Bo family now."

Ning Wanzhen was surprised by her daughter's thoughtfulness, and a hint of relief appeared in her eyes. "Your cousin-in-law doesn't live here. Besides, it's too late today. It's not too late to see her tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? Will she say I'm impolite?" Ning Xin'er frowned slightly, somewhat worried.

Ning Wanzhen took her arm, her eyes filled with affection, "No, don't worry."

"Aunt, where does my cousin-in-law live? Should I go and pay my respects to her first?" Ning Xin'er looked hesitant.

Ning Wanzhen led her towards the stairwell, saying, "Her place is quite far from the old house. If you go there now, she'll probably already be resting."

Ning Xin'er was a little puzzled, "Auntie, my cousin-in-law should have stayed at the old house for a year, how come she's only been here for less than a month..."

She stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence, a hint of panic on her face. "Auntie, I misspoke."

Hearing her words, Ning Wanzhen felt as if her heart had been pierced by a long needle, and she couldn't help but feel sad. "She still has to work, and the old house is quite far from the group."

"That's true. With my cousin gone, all the burdens have fallen on her shoulders." Ning Xin'er's tone was low, as if she felt sorry for Sang Yuwan. She was implying that after Bo Xingzhi's death, the power of the Bo family and the Bo Corporation had fallen into Sang Yuwan's hands.

Ning Wanzhen was saddened and didn't catch the underlying meaning in her words. She took two shallow breaths and said softly, "It must have been tough for her. Looking at the whole of Jiangcheng, which other wealthy wife is like her, still working while pregnant?"

Ning Xin'er's eyes flickered, and she continued, "Yes, in our young people's terms, my cousin-in-law is a career fanatic."

Ning Wanzhen smiled.

The two talked as they went upstairs.

The old house's butler carried Ning Xin'er's luggage and followed behind.

Ning Wanzhen asked, "Xin'er, how long do you plan to stay this time?"

"I'll stay as long as Auntie wants me to," Ning Xin'er said, raising her eyebrows playfully.

Ning Wanzhen looked at her with loving eyes, "I want you to stay with me forever. But is that possible?"

"Of course," Ning Xin'er said in a slightly coquettish tone, "as long as Auntie doesn't find me annoying."

“Why would I bother you?” Ning Wanzhen said with a smile.

Ning Xin'er was silent for two minutes before speaking again, "Auntie, how about I find a job in Jiangcheng so I can stay with you every day?"

Ning Wanzhen was stunned for a moment, then her eyes suddenly filled with warmth. "Good child, so filial."

Ning Xin'er raised her hand and gently touched the corner of her eye. "My aunt has always doted on me since I was little. My grandfather even said that I'm not your niece, but more like your daughter."

Ning Wanzhen's thoughts churned, and the corners of her eyes reddened slightly. "Who says it isn't true? I even wanted you to be adopted by me back then, but your uncle disagreed. He'd rather adopt that bastard Rong Zhi..."

"Auntie," Ning Xin'er said softly, seeing that her emotions were running high, "Auntie, please don't say things like that again. Your cousin is gone, and you'll need to rely on him a lot from now on."

"I rely on him?!" Ning Wanzhen's expression changed, and anger flashed in her eyes.

Ning Xin'er looked terrified. "Auntie, be careful, walls have ears. After all, he's the only man in this family. I heard that my cousin's wife is very wary of him."

Ning Wanzhen's breath hitched, her brows furrowed, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened. "I didn't see her being wary of him; on the contrary, she seemed to have some ambiguous relationship with him."

"Auntie!!!" Ning Xin'er's expression changed drastically, her eyes widened in shock and fear.

Ning Wanzhen realized she had spoken out of turn, her expression froze, and her chest heaved violently.

Ning Xin'er said again, "Auntie, let's go inside and talk."

Ning Wanzhen pursed her lips and nodded.

The two arrived at the guest room on the second floor, and the butler left after putting down their luggage.

Ning Xin'er gently closed the door, then pulled Ning Wanzhen to sit down on the sofa.

"Auntie, please don't say those things to me again."

Ning Wanzhen took two deep breaths, her face still looking somewhat pale. "I know."

Ning Xin'er looked around the room. "Auntie, the room is still decorated the same as before."

Ning Wanzhen said, "I've been looking forward to you coming to Jiangcheng to be with me, so I had them decorate it according to your preferences."

Ning Xin'er smiled faintly, "Auntie is so thoughtful."

Ning Wanzhen patted her hand, "Xin'er, it's late, let's not talk anymore today, you should get some rest."

“Okay, Auntie.” Ning Xin’er nodded obediently.

Ning Wanzhen patted the back of her head, then got up and left.

Ning Xin'er escorted her to the door and waited until she was far away before closing the door.

She stood in the room, carefully examining the furnishings, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.

“Sang Yuwan, I’m here. I will take back everything you took from the Bo family.”

-

Nanshan Villa.

Rong Zhi sat at his desk, with his computer on, handling official business.

By day, he was the vice president and legal director of the Bo Group. By night, he was the behind-the-scenes boss of the R Group.

Everyone says that Bo Xingzhi is a business genius, and projects under his management are almost guaranteed to succeed.

Little did they know that Rong Zhi was the true master.

Some things are innate, while others are taught to you rigorously by Bo Yuanshan.

Knock knock—

There was a knock at the door.

Rong Zhi pressed a button on the desk, and the study door slowly opened.

The man in black entered, carrying two documents.

"Second Master, Miss Ming's matter has been taken care of."

Rong Zhi didn't raise his eyes, his voice as cold as if it had been chilled to the bone, "This time, it must be dealt with cleanly."

The man in black said, "Don't worry, Second Master, I hacked all her electronic devices, and all the videos related to Master Bo and Gu Jingheng have been completely wiped clean."

Rong Zhi frowned. "In case of any unforeseen circumstances, we should check all the contacts she has made during this period, just in case she passes it on to others."

The man in black bowed his head. "Yes." After a slight pause, he continued, "Second Master, Miss Ning has arrived in Jiangcheng from F Country. She checked into the Bo family's old residence five minutes ago."

Rong Zhi raised his eyes, his gaze sharp and cold as a knife, "Ning Xin'er?"
