Assistant Fang led Bo Hanmo toward Fang Yao's home. "Assistant Fang, not bad. You found my wife in just one day."
"Boss, it was nothing... Boss, we're here. This is the place."
Good grief, Old Madam Bo even brought Bodyguards. They had Fang Yao's little house surrounded. Assistant Fang fell silent at the sight of the men by the door, while his imagination ran wild.
Bo Hanmo looked at the Bodyguards and raised an eyebrow. What was with those expressions?
(.・_・.)ノ They're not going to silence us, are they?! Second Young Master, Miss, get up already!
"Stop staring. The Eldest Young Master is here. Should we tell Old Madam Bo and the others?"
"Shut up! Can't you see how dark the Eldest Young Master's face is? Just stand guard!"
"Oh."
The scolded Bodyguards felt terribly wronged.
Ծ‸Ծ
Bo Hanmo walked closer and stepped inside, then immediately backed out. His eyes must have been playing tricks on him. How else could he have seen something so outrageous?
Assistant Fang saw a crack forming in his boss's perpetually icy expression. Wondering what he had seen, Assistant Fang cautiously peeked inside.
Assistant Fang's jaw dropped. He even lifted a hand with his little finger sticking out. No wonder those Bodyguards had been distracted.
"Second Young Master, Miss, what are you doing?"
"Did you fail to force Madam out, so now you're kneeling to beg her to leave?"
The sudden voice startled everyone inside, especially Bo Miao and Bo Zhe.
Wasn't that Assistant Fang's voice?!
Bo Miao and Bo Zhe had been wallowing in regret a moment ago. Then they spotted their elder brother and fell apart. They tried to stand, but they had been kneeling too long. Even after several attempts, they couldn't get up.
"Big Brother, why are you here? Assistant Fang, what are you looking at? Close the door!"
"Assistant Fang, I told you to close the door, not come in."
"Oh, come on, Second Young Master! I'll just take a look. I won't tell anyone."
"...So you were thinking of telling people? Come here. I promise I won't beat you to death!"
"Second Young Master, do I look stupid to you?!"
"You..."
Bo Miao and Old Madam Bo stared speechlessly at her second brother and grandson. Was this really the time to argue about that?
"Big Brother."
"Hanmo."
Bo Miao and Old Madam Bo gave awkward smiles. As their elder brother's and eldest grandson's face grew darker, they wisely shut their mouths.
Fang Yao looked at the tall, imposing man who had entered. Even his silhouette sent a chill through her.
Standing in the doorway, he looked like a god emerging from the light behind him!
"What are you two doing? Get up!" The icy force of Bo Hanmo's presence snapped Fang Yao out of her daze.
This number-one cannon fodder is handsome, sure, but he won't live long. I'd better take the money and leave!
Fang Yao forced herself to look away from Bo Hanmo. Had she been a little slower, she would have caught him studying her.
"Old Madam Bo, I think you're right. Your family is out of my league, hehe. Give me the check, and I'll leave right now."
If I don't leave soon, I'll get dragged down with them and lose my life. Let me think...
No, I have to leave today. If Bo Hanmo, cannon fodder number one, dies in a car accident today, how will I get away?
But before I go, shouldn't I get something out of cannon fodder number one? I became a divorcée through no fault of my own.
Bo Hanmo's cold expression cracked. Fang Yao's mouth hadn't moved! Was that ventriloquism? No, that couldn't be right either. Her stomach was flat.
Wait...
Cannon fodder? She couldn't mean that kind, could she? I'm cannon fodder number one?
Old Madam Bo, Bo Miao, and Bo Zhe saw Bo Hanmo's expression and knew he had heard Fang Yao's thoughts.
When he looked at them, they nodded gravely.
You heard her right. Our whole family is cannon fodder. You're number one, and you're about to die in a car accident.
!!!!!!!
Big Brother's going to be in a car accident!!!
My eldest grandson's going to be in a car accident!!!
The three of them stared at Fang Yao in shock. Was she a jinx? Their elder brother and grandson was perfectly fine. How could he suddenly be headed for a car accident?
Assistant Fang quietly edged away from his boss's family. One moment they looked grim, the next unhinged, then disbelieving. In the blink of an eye, Old Madam Bo and the others had changed expressions several times.
Had Madam shocked them so badly they'd lost their minds?
Madam is amazing!!! Assistant Fang's eyes sparkled as he gazed at Fang Yao like an adoring fan, cheering her on in his heart.
( ̄▽ ̄)👍
Fang Yao hugged herself and looked around. What monster was out to get her?
"Old Madam Bo, what do you think of my suggestion?"
Fang Yao reached for the check, but Bo Zhe stuffed it into his shirt. Hiss! Pain twisted his face. Ignoring his aching knees, he crawled backward out of her reach. When he saw that she couldn't get the check, he grinned.
Hiss... That hurts! I've sacrificed so much for this family. o(╥﹏╥)o
Bo Hanmo's face filled with exasperation.  ̄□ ̄|| Why hadn't their parents given the second son any brains?
Old Madam Bo covered her face. It was all her late husband's fault. Her daughter-in-law had said they shouldn't have a second child because he'd be born without brains. She had been right.
Fang Yao's mouth twitched. What was this supposed to mean? Hadn't they come here to drive me away?!
Bo Miao gave a thumbs-up. Well done, Second Brother!
Old Madam Bo and Bo Hanmo covered their faces again. She was just as hopeless.
Assistant Fang took a deep breath and patted his chest. Thank goodness he didn't work for the Second Young Master. He'd have wanted to quit on the spot and join the competition.
"Second Young Master, you can't make the decision, can you? Then, Eldest Young Master, what do you think? This is how things stand. I don't even know when I got married."
"I suddenly became a divorcée. Don't you think you owe me compensation?"
Fang Yao's mouth had gone dry from talking. She picked up the milk tea on the table and gulped it down, sitting cross-legged on the sofa.
Assistant Fang nodded. Madam was absolutely right. A young woman had suddenly become a divorcée. There was nothing wrong with asking for compensation.
Ashamed, Old Madam Bo looked everywhere but at Fang Yao. Bo Miao and Bo Zhe lowered their heads and knelt up straight.
At some point, Bo Hanmo had sat down opposite Fang Yao. He watched her without expression, his eyes fixed on her mouth as she talked.
If I hadn't heard your thoughts, I really would have believed I'd committed an unforgivable sin.
Oh, come on. I've said so much. Do something already! My eyes hurt.
Old Madam Bo heard Fang Yao's thoughts and came back to herself. She glanced at her eldest grandson, then called over the Bodyguards at the door.
Then Fang Yao found herself being lifted by the arms. What did this mean? Were they going to bury her body? Or kill her?
o(╥﹏╥)o
