Can't Have Bad Thoughts About Fang Yao?

"Grandma, it's okay. The ambulance is here. Let's go to the hospital."

"I'm fine now, A-Mo."

"How can you be fine? You were sweating from the pain just now... Grandma, are you sure it doesn't hurt anymore?"

"We'd better get her checked at the hospital. A-Mo, help your grandmother," Old Master Bo said with a frown.

"Okay, but what about my brother and sister?" Bo Hanmo looked up and saw that his brother was still dodging blows, while his sister had somehow ended up kneeling on the sofa.

Fortunately, the sofa faced away from the bodyguards. Otherwise, his sister would never have lived it down.

ε=(´ο｀*))) Sigh.

"Leave them. Your wife won't beat your brother to death." Old Master Bo couldn't worry about everything. The boy was grown; if it hurt, he'd run.

Big brother, Grandpa, am I even your brother and grandson anymore? You're really going to leave me to die? [○･｀Д´･ ○]

Hearing his brother and grandfather talk, Bo Zhe wanted to cry. o(╥﹏╥)o

[What a waste raising these grandchildren. Their own grandmother is unwell, but instead of taking her to the hospital, they're putting on a show. No wonder they're cannon fodder.]

Fang Yao grumbled inwardly. When she looked up, Bo Hanmo appeared calm, but shock and unease flashed through everyone else's eyes.

[Whoa, did Old Madam Bo go swimming? Isn't it uncomfortable having those wet clothes stuck to her? Wait, $#& never said Old Madam Bo had a heart condition! Did I miss that part? I'd better check.]*

Hearing Fang Yao's thoughts, the Bo family were relieved to learn that their [wife] and [grandmother] had no heart condition. But why couldn't they hear those few words?

What was going on?

Bo Zhe and the others looked at Bo Hanmo. He pushed up his glasses. How would he know? He'd learned about this later than they had. Shouldn't they be telling him?

Old Madam Bo, her son, and her grandchildren looked away. Old Master Bo opened his mouth to ask, but Old Madam Bo clapped a hand over it.

Old Master Bo: furious

The medical staff: ...

Were they leaving or not?!

"My dear grandchildren, I've made an important discovery." Seeing that Fang Yao wasn't watching them, Old Madam Bo hurriedly shared her discovery with her family in a whisper.

Bo Hanmo and the others bent down to listen as their grandmother told them they mustn't harbor any ill will toward Fang Yao. Otherwise, they would suffer the same pain she had just felt.

"Dear, that's too far-fetched. How could it be true?" Old Master Bo gave her a dismissive look and waved a hand, refusing to believe it.

How could simply thinking ill of someone get you erased or anything like that?

Bo Zhe and Bo Miao exchanged a glance. (:з"∠) They believed her. If their sister-in-law's thoughts weren't somehow protected, how else could they hear them? They'd read novels!

Bo Hanmo pressed his lips together. He looked at the woman across from him, who let out a silly chuckle now and then, and entertained the thought. He immediately clutched the fabric over his chest. Sweat beaded on his forehead.

∑(´△｀)?!

"You stubborn old man! If you don't believe me, try thinking about harming Fang Yao."

"Fine, I will."

"Grandpa, don't... Grandpa, are you all right? A-Zhe, get some water. Miao Miao, you..."

"I know! I'll get on my sister-in-law's good side. Didn't she say my brother would have a car accident today? I'll see what I can get out of her!"

"All right, Miao Miao. Go on."

"Miss, Qingqing is here to see you."

"What? What's she doing here? Did you tell Qingqing I was back?"

"Miss, we didn't."

[Qingqing? Could it be Bo Hanmo's White Moonlight, Chen Qing? Let me check... It really is. Well, well. Who'd have thought that cold-looking guy liked a woman like her? Then again, Bo Hanmo doesn't know his White Moonlight likes him too. Bo Hanmo and his White Moonlight are a perfect match in looks and talent—the most compatible couple among the wealthy families.]

Bo Hanmo: ...Since when did he like Chen Qing?

Bo Zhe: ...His brother liked Chen Qing? Was he blind?

Bo Miao: (✧◡✧) Her brother liked Qingqing! Wonderful!

Fang Yao: [Too bad his White Moonlight has a dark side. After Bo Hanmo's accident, when the doctor says he'll never wake up, she deceives Old Madam Bo and the rest of the family. She says she loves Bo Hanmo and would even remain a widow for him. Once she and Bo Hanmo are married, he dies. Then she starts plotting to send the whole family to join him.]

Bo Hanmo and the others turned solemn as they looked at Fang Yao. Were they really going to suffer that badly? All of them were going to die?!

If Bo Miao had been delighted to welcome Chen Qing a moment ago, now she wanted to kick the woman standing in front of her.

"Ah-Miao, you're back! Why didn't you come see me? Huh? Who's this?" Chen Qing asked.

With her arm linked through Bo Miao's, Chen Qing walked into the Bo family home. She was startled to see a woman she didn't recognize inside. Σ(⊙▽⊙"a

Bo Miao stared stiffly at the hand on her arm as Chen Qing led her along. After what she'd just heard, she wanted to cut ties with Chen Qing.

"Chen... Qingqing, I just hadn't had a chance to tell you yet. By the way, how did you know I was back?"

[How else? The servant she bribed told her.]

Bo Miao tipped her head up to hold back her tears. Her sister-in-law meant Chen Qing was keeping tabs on her—or perhaps on her whole family!

"I saw you'd come back, so I came to find you." Chen Qing waved a hand as though it were perfectly reasonable.

[Right, right. Chen Qing has eyes that can see for miles, so she spotted you from afar. What an excuse.] Fang Yao rolled her eyes inwardly. Couldn't Chen Qing have come up with a better one? Did she not know how far apart their houses were? Fang Yao didn't want to talk to Bo Hanmo or the others, and she couldn't be bothered to introduce herself. They wouldn't have anything to do with each other in the future anyway.

[Enough boring chatter. I'd rather see how the rest of the Bo family dies.]

Bo Hanmo hadn't intended to say anything, but that piqued his curiosity.

He wasn't the only curious one; the rest of the Bo family were too. Chen Qing noticed that Bo Miao hadn't introduced Fang Yao and that everyone in the family was looking at her.

Something flickered in Chen Qing's eyes. "A-Mo, aren't you going to introduce this young lady?"

[You're the 'young lady.' Your whole family are 'young ladies.'] Fang Yao had been absorbed in what she was reading and was itching to comment on it. Then she heard the spite in Chen Qing's voice and rolled her eyes at her where Chen Qing couldn't see.

(ー`´ー)

Bo Hanmo saw it. The corners of his mouth lifted, and he let out a chuckle.

Bo Zhe and the others looked over at the sound. What was their brother and son laughing at?

Bo Hanmo coughed. Bo Miao took the hint, unlinked her arm from Chen Qing's, and walked over to Fang Yao. Under Fang Yao's bewildered gaze, she slipped her arm through hers and rested her head on her shoulder.

"Qingqing, let me introduce you. This is my sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, this is Uncle Chen's daughter."

Fang Yao stared at Bo Miao, cannon fodder number three, with no idea what was going on. When she heard Bo Miao's words, her jaw dropped. Her fist moved before her brain did, and she punched Bo Miao.

Wow~ ⊙o⊙
