Chapter 127 Upholding Male Virtues and Forbidding Deviant Conduct
"Miss He, you don't look well."
When Bo Siheng acted like a straight man, he didn't consider He Yiyi's feelings.
Actually, it was also because he secretly didn't want this incident to become a stain on his future reputation.
"Could it be that the jade pendant is lost?"
He looked at He Yiyi, somewhat puzzled.
She could never repay the debt of being saved, but it would be wrong if she were too greedy.
He Yiyi's heart skipped a beat when she saw the blunt look in Bo Ye's eyes.
She managed to maintain a stiff smile.
“I didn’t lose it. I just wanted to keep it with me as a memento. I didn’t expect you to want to take it back.”
She was panicking and didn't know what to do.
If they can't produce the jade pendant, then the whole truth will be revealed.
The counterfeit He Yan cigarettes will also be exposed.
"Since Mr. Bo has spoken, can we return it together after I've cured you?"
He Yiyi needed to buy time to steal the jade pendant from He Yan.
The lie has already been told, and she must find a way to cover it up; she absolutely cannot let her reputation be ruined.
Bo Siheng pondered for a moment, and finally nodded.
"it is good."
He was willing to be kind and gentle to He Yiyi, simply because he remembered the debt of gratitude she had given him for saving his life.
There will never be anything else.
"Then I won't take up any more of your time."
He Yiyi dared not pester him any further and could only maintain her composure as she bid farewell to Master Bo.
She only saw her brother's phone call after the two parted ways.
"Brother, what do you need me for?"
He Yiyi's expression immediately changed when she answered the phone; she became a well-behaved, cute, and considerate younger sister.
He Yunyi remained as gentle and refined as ever.
He just chuckled softly, having lost all interest in confiding in anyone.
"Big brother just wanted to ask you if there's any dessert you'd like to eat."
He Yunyi didn't know why, but after talking with He Yan, he felt a little better.
She stood up for me in this critical moment; how could I possibly give up?
The change in his mindset was silent and subtle; he also felt that he didn't need He Yiyi's comfort as much anymore.
"Okay, big brother, I want the bunny cake from my favorite bakery!"
He Yiyi didn't notice the change in her brother's tone.
She felt that her older brother was still devoted to her, so she had to keep trying.
But she was still very unhappy.
She was unaware that she had missed an opportunity to comfort her older brother.
I just regret that we couldn't keep Mr. Bo.
When He Yiyi got home, she immediately tried to sneak into He Yan's room. She turned the doorknob and found that the lock had indeed been changed.
"This is clearly favoritism! Where do they put me?"
She was extremely frustrated, but she had no way to get in.
Just then, Su Wan arrived.
"Yiyi, what are you doing standing at Xiaoyan's room door?"
"I remembered I forgot to take something out, Mom, could you please open the door for me?"
He Yiyi was startled, but when she realized her mother wasn't angry, she took the opportunity to act cute.
“I know my sister is home now. I just want to keep the things you gave me over the years. I won’t take them from my sister. I just want to preserve the love that Mom and Dad have for me.”
"You! Of course, Mom knows you're a good child."
Su Wan had no doubts and smiled gently.
She led He Yiyi back to her room.
"I took all your things out before I changed the locks, so please keep them safe."
When He Yiyi saw that her room was filled with all the gifts she had received since childhood, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Now, she could no longer enter He Yan's room!
"Thank you... Mom."
She can't expose herself, so she has to pretend to be innocent.
Su Wan was completely unaware of the resentment in He Yiyi's eyes; she was also trying to persuade her daughter.
"Yiyi, you should be more mindful of your behavior in the future."
He Yiyi's expression turned cold, knowing that her mother meant she should give in to He Yan.
It's ridiculous, just because he's not her biological child.
She felt extremely resentful, hating He Yan for taking everything away from her when she came home, and resenting that her family demanded that she submit to them simply because He Yan was their biological daughter with whom they shared a blood relationship.
So who is she?
"I understand, Mom. I need to rest now."
He Yiyi's face fell; she couldn't even keep up the act of being well-behaved.
Su Wan noticed that He Yiyi was unhappy and felt a little guilty.
She knew He Yiyi would feel disappointed. After all, she had been pampered by her family for twenty years, and now that Xiao Yan was back, taking away her family's attention, it was normal for her to feel sad.
"Then you should rest well."
After Su Wan left, she asked the maid to stew bird's nest.
She wanted to tell Yiyi that she would always be her daughter.
When He Yiyi saw the things in the room, she felt so choked up that she wanted to go crazy, but reason kept her in check.
She must hold onto Master Bo at all costs!
With that in mind, she called Zhong Wenqian.
"Dr. Zhong, I'd like to discuss Mr. Bo's condition with you again..."
After a while.
Su Wan brought over the bird's nest soup and was about to knock on the door when she heard Yi Yi making a phone call inside the room.
She subconsciously lowered her hand, wanting to hear what her daughter had to say.
"...Dr. Zhong, thank you. I will try my best too."
He Yiyi took a gamble, intending to use Zhong Wenqian to get close to Master Bo.
She wasn't wrong; because of her treatment of Master Bo, she had earned a lot of goodwill from Zhong Wenqian.
This inflated He Yiyi's confidence.
As long as she cures Master Bo, everything will fall into place naturally.
At that time, He Yan and the He family will all have to be mindful of his feelings.
This is to get revenge on my parents for their favoritism!
Su Wan, standing outside the door, showed a slight change in expression.
I overheard her address to the person on the other end of the phone.
"Dr. Zhong? Could it be Professor Zhong's son, Zhong Wenqian?"
Su Wan's face lit up with joy.
She had heard Yiyi mention before that she had someone she liked, but she never knew who it was.
"The Zhong family are all medical professionals, so they can support each other."
Su Wan thought this was really good news.
She didn't disturb her daughter because she was afraid her daughter would be shy.
……
the other side.
When Bo Siheng returned home, his expression was not good.
He didn't expect He Yiyi to suddenly bring it up, and she kept hinting that she wanted to repay his kindness.
This made him feel very uncomfortable; he felt like he was being coerced.
"Jiang Lu, how much can a person's personality change under different circumstances?"
Sitting in his study, Bo Siheng couldn't help but ask Jiang Lu for advice.
He always felt that the He Yiyi from that night was too different from the He Yiyi he saw now, and it was too hard for him to accept.
"People's behavior will definitely vary in different situations, Si Heng, why did you think of asking this?"
Jiang Lu was unaware of Bo Siheng's inner turmoil and thought he was talking about He Yan.
He inexplicably realized that He Yan had two different faces, one in public and one in front of Si Heng.
"Human instinct is to benefit oneself; it's human nature."
"Nature? That's quite a difference."
Bo Siheng frowned, sighed with a smile, and his expression revealed helplessness.
He felt that Jiang Lu's statement wasn't entirely correct.
At least He Yan gave him the impression that she was consistent inside and out.
night.
As He Yan was getting ready to sleep, she noticed that Bo Siheng's gaze seemed somewhat unfocused, so she suddenly moved closer.
"What did you do today? Why do you seem a little guilty?"
She practically lay face down on the pillow, sensing something was wrong with him.
"You wouldn't have done something to betray me, would you?"
"No."
Bo Siheng met He Yan's gaze and instinctively retorted.
I always felt very sorry for her.
He deceived her like this because he felt like a scumbag.
Bo Siheng suddenly wanted to confess. This feeling of inner torment was too unbearable. Rather than hiding it until it was too late to salvage the situation, he decided to accept the judgment now.
But before he could say it, he changed his mind and decided to make up a friend out of thin air.
"Actually, I have a friend..."
