Chapter 196 The arranged marriage was my good fortune in meeting you.
"You think you performed very well?"
He Yan raised an eyebrow and scrutinized Bo Jingning's surprised and uncertain face.
She seemed to have been intimidated by him.
"But your persona doesn't fit at all. Have you ever seen a Cinderella dressed head to toe in the latest designer clothes? And most importantly, Bo Siheng's reaction to you doesn't seem like that of an ex-lover at all."
He Yan could tell that Bo Jingning was a spoiled young lady.
She is simple-minded and not a bad person.
Instead, they speak and act according to their own heart, solely for their own mood.
Bo Siheng's first reaction upon seeing Bo Jingning was happiness.
He probably genuinely liked this younger sister, but his mysophobia kept him at a distance.
Similarly, the way he looked at Bo Jingning also carried a sense of respect for an elder.
Even with indulgence, there are still untouchable boundaries.
"Actually, you don't understand him at all, which is why there are flaws."
He Yan dared not say that she fully understood Bo Siheng.
However, the man she knew would never allow her to have such complicated feelings.
"If he really had a white moonlight (ideal love), he wouldn't have married me."
"I don't believe it! How could I have acted so poorly? What about my graduation performance?"
Bo Jingning found it hard to accept and was even more annoyed.
On the one hand, she disliked He Yan's intelligence, but on the other hand, she couldn't help but admire what she said.
"You're really annoying! You're nothing like those other people."
She has never experienced setback in her entire life.
This woman married her outstanding brother.
She just felt that He Yan was not good enough for her.
"He Yan, I don't like you at all!"
"Oh, whatever!"
He Yan smiled in a harmless manner.
At this moment, others who heard the commotion also rushed over.
Zheng Jiarong looked panicked and anxiously called for her bodyguards to rescue her.
Bo Siheng also came over. He frowned and glanced at Bo Jingning before his gaze returned to He Yan.
"What happened? Are you hurt?"
"I'm fine, it's just that your sister is too playful."
He Yan chuckled lightly, noticing a slightly gloating expression on Bo Jingning's face.
The consequences of trying to trick her are, of course, borne by oneself.
Bo Jingning was so angry she was going crazy, her eyes filled with disbelief.
When she was rescued, she deliberately splashed water everywhere, inevitably splashing everyone around her.
It's obvious they're targeting He Yan.
How could He Yan be in the mood to watch the show while she herself got wet?
"Hmph! Do you want to play with me then?"
"No, I don't play with kids."
He Yan glanced at her, knowing that she was deliberately causing trouble, and she also protected her skirt and hid behind Bo Siheng.
Both of them were unwilling to admit defeat, and neither was willing to give in.
Bo Siheng was at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.
However, it seems that Jingning has gone a bit too far.
When Zheng Jiarong saw that He Yan seemed to be protecting her stomach, she became even more suspicious.
Bo Jingning was unhappy that her brother only protected He Yan.
"Brother, how can you be biased?"
"Bo Jingning, did you do something reckless that upset my wife?"
Bo Siheng really liked his cousin, but he also felt that she was sometimes spoiled too much.
He knew He Yan's personality; she was always very quiet.
However, the younger sister meant no harm, and he did not criticize her.
"You're not a child anymore, stop fooling around."
"No!"
Bo Jingning stomped her feet, surprised that her brother didn't care about her at all.
Shouldn't she look more like the one being bullied?
Bo Yuanzhou also rushed over and, upon hearing what had happened, intended to shift the blame onto He Yan.
With so many relatives present, they could also see the negative side of He Yan.
"Ningning, were you pushed down by He Yan?"
"No, Dad, I fell down by myself."
Although Bo Jingning didn't like He Yan, she didn't think it was He Yan's fault.
He Yan's eyes flickered slightly, a hint of surprise in them.
I don't think Bo Jingning is that annoying, because she's not like He Yiyi.
In her eyes, Bo Siheng, her younger sister, was just an innocent and naive girl.
This can also be seen from the way the two of them interact.
Bo Jingning is the only person in the Bo family who can make Bo Siheng lower his guard.
So she wouldn't hold it against her.
Unfortunately, her parents were no good either.
"With such terrible acting skills, you might not graduate."
He Yan found Bo Jingning quite interesting and couldn't help but tease her.
"Hmph! I want you to take care of it!"
Bo Jingning turned around and glared at He Yan before following her mother back to change her clothes.
in the room.
She asked her mother curiously what was going on.
"Mom, why did my brother get married so suddenly? And I heard they didn't fall in love before getting married. Is it because Grandma is worried that my brother is getting old and won't be able to find a wife that she's in such a hurry?"
Bo Jingning was unaware of the conflict between her parents and brother.
Her feelings for her family are genuine.
Moreover, because there were few people in her family, she loved to stick close to her older brother when she was little.
Although they are cousins, they are more like biological siblings.
Zheng Jiarong intentionally smeared He Yan, so she directly pinned a label on her.
Both she and her husband knew they had to be wary of this woman.
With her by Bo Siheng's side, the obstacles between them became even greater.
“Ningning, He Yan married your brother because the He family wanted a lot of money. She knew your brother was old and in poor health, so she deliberately pestered him until your grandmother had no choice but to agree.”
When facing her innocent daughter, Zheng Jiarong always wore the gentlest and kindest expression.
All the things he said were meant to smear He Yan.
That girl from the countryside must be dealt with as soon as possible.
"Her engagement was also stolen from someone else; it should have belonged to He Yiyi."
"He Yiyi? Is that the socialite who was ranked number one? I know her!"
Bo Jingning has great faith in her mother.
So when she heard these words, she felt very angry.
"So He Yan really is that bad. She lied to my brother and made him marry her!"
Bo Jingning completely sided with her brother, believing that He Yan was a bad woman who cheated people out of money and marriage.
This led her to have a deeper misunderstanding of He Yan.
"I don't want her to be my sister-in-law."
Zheng Jiarong's eyes gleamed with delight; she was pleased that her daughter also disliked He Yan.
……
at the same time.
He Yan was also interrogating Bo Siheng.
“Your dear sister, Bo Jingning just told me about what happened when you were studying abroad. Tell me everything else you’ve been hiding from me. You still have a chance to confess.”
She did it on purpose, knowing full well that Bo Siheng wasn't the kind of dissolute playboy.
Actually, He Yan just wanted to know more.
She was still very interested in learning about Bo Siheng from the past.
"Don't try to fool me, I have evidence on my phone."
"There's nothing I can't tell you."
Bo Siheng smiled indulgently, holding He Yan's hand with a completely open expression.
His upbringing was actually quite simple: due to his severe mysophobia, he treated everyone else with the same cold indifference.
Apart from a few close friends, no woman dared to approach him.
“When I was studying, I only knew how to study. Not long after I returned to China, I inherited the Bo family business. There were many things to deal with, and I didn’t have time to learn to be carefree. I devoted all my energy to the company.”
Bo Siheng looked at He Yan with a serious expression in his eyes.
He has actually been under a lot of tension, and has only recently been able to relax a bit.
It's all because He Yan is by my side.
"I only found out about the engagement with the He family later. Luckily, I met you."
At that time, his grandmother wanted him to get married because she was worried about him.
He Yan withdrew her hand after hearing this.
She crossed her arms, her eyes holding a half-smile.
"But you... met He Yiyi first."
