Second Master Bo Stands Up for His Own

She hadn't known that Ji Chuxing was being bullied by her classmates at school. But she couldn't be blamed for not knowing, because Ji Chuxing hadn't told her. That had left her in the dark, and she had rushed to the school to apologize, only to lose all face.

Ji Chuxing ignored her.

The tiny bit of guilt that had risen in Zhou Ru's heart was worn away entirely by Ji Chuxing's cold attitude.

"Xiaoxing, I'm talking to you. Did you hear me?"

Zhou Ru walked up to her. "Why didn't you tell me a single thing about what happened at school today? It ended up being such a huge misunderstanding, and everyone got to laugh at us."

"How strange." Ji Chuxing crunched up a milk tablet. "I told you. Did you listen?"

It wasn't as though the original owner had never asked for help.

But what had Zhou Ru said?

Oh, every student in the Set Sail Class was an outstanding talent. Don't be ungrateful and go provoking them. If you hadn't done something wrong and offended them, why would they have treated you badly?

Don't cause trouble for the Wen Family. Behave yourself.

Zhou Ru was left speechless. Ji Chuxing couldn't be bothered with her and continued toward the exit.

Zhou Ru came to her senses and hurried after her. "But you really did go too far today. If you'd just told me properly, would I have stood by and done nothing? I'm your mother!"

"You're not much of a mother."

A chilly voice came from behind Zhou Ru.

At some point, Fang He had wheeled Bo Yanchen out. The man was dressed as elegantly as ever, and the Buddhist prayer beads on his left wrist gleamed.

Zhou Ru stared at Bo Yanchen in disbelief. "Second... Second Master Bo."

Bo Yanchen spared her no further attention and beckoned to Ji Chuxing. "Kid, come here."

Ji Chuxing was reluctant, but she still walked over with her head down and stood beside Bo Yanchen.

Bo Yanchen felt that the girl seemed a little down and tugged at her hand.

Ji Chuxing tried to pull away, but Bo Yanchen wouldn't let her. He was plainly taking her side. He looked at Zhou Ru, his gaze calm and icy. "Madam Wen, if I remember correctly, this girl is your daughter. But you hardly act like a mother. When she was bullied, you didn't help her, and on top of that, you blamed her for not telling you sooner?"

Zhou Ru could barely find her voice as she stared at the scene in disbelief.

Ji Chuxing was actually standing with Bo Yanchen, and they even knew each other!

Bo Yanchen was even standing up for her!

Why had she never said anything?

"Second Master, it's all a misunderstanding. I didn't know Xiaoxing knew you..."

Was that really the point right now?

Bo Yanchen had more or less understood what Zhou Ru meant.

"As a mother, you really aren't worthy of my girl."

Ji Chuxing spoke up beside him. "She isn't." This wasn't her mother; she was the original owner's mother. But before the original owner died in her previous life, she had no longer wanted a mother.

Bo Yanchen smiled. "That's true. What does Elder Ji's granddaughter have to do with the Wen Family? Since you can't be a proper mother, you don't need to concern yourself with my girl's affairs anymore. I can still protect Elder Ji's granddaughter."

With that, Bo Yanchen took Ji Chuxing and left.

"Kid, let's go."

Ji Chuxing lowered her eyes and obediently followed behind Bo Yanchen.

Hmm, it seemed someone had protected her.

It felt... rather strange.

After they got in the car, Bo Yanchen handed her a large jelly pouch and even patiently tore open the wrapper for her. "Everything at school has been taken care of. They won't show up again, and your guardian's contact number has been changed to mine. Don't worry. From now on, no one in all of South City can bully my girl."

Ji Chuxing lifted her lashes, silently took the jelly, and began sucking it down.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" The corners of Bo Yanchen's lips curved slightly. He looked like a completely different person from the sharp, icy man he had been moments ago. As though teasing a child, he said, "Aren't you going to thank your big brother?"

Ji Chuxing glanced at her again and blinked. "Thank you."

"Hmm? Thank who?" Bo Yanchen was in an excellent mood.

Fang He, who was driving, said, "..."

What the hell!

Master was far too shameless, actually flirting with a young girl!

Ji Chuxing glanced at the man's peerlessly handsome face and swallowed. "Thank you, Second Brother."

Bo Yanchen was completely satisfied. He raised a hand and stroked the top of the girl's head. "Good girl."

Ji Chuxing: "..."

Fang He: "..."
