Housekeeper Liu bowed his head, "It’s my fault." "Hmph." Lady Bo sneered coldly, "You’re afraid I’ll repeat my old tricks, aren’t you?" As she spoke, a certain determination appeared on her face. "I would never dare to think that." Housekeeper Liu was shocked internally, not expecting her to bring up the past on her own. He didn’t follow along with Lady Bo’s topic and trembled as he said, "That young lady’s temperament is somewhat like Miss Shu’s, she seems quite innocent. I thought keeping her by the Eldest Young Master’s side wouldn’t cause any trouble, so I didn’t think it was necessary to mention this small matter to upset you." "Oh, so you did it for my own good!" Lady Bo’s words carried a tone of sarcasm. After hearing this, Housekeeper Liu lowered his head even further. "Like Tingting? Does she have a family background like Tingting?" Lady Bo paused for a moment as if recalling something. "Rest assured, I won’t be as ruthless as I was with Ajun. I’ll keep her around, treat her as a mere plaything for Ajin, as long as she doesn’t interfere with his normal life." Housekeeper Liu thought of the young girl’s pure, clear eyes and felt an unusual sensation. Recalling the Eldest Young Master’s regard for the young girl, he feared the Eldest Young Master wouldn’t want her to be aggrieved! After pondering, Housekeeper Liu could only echo, "I suppose that young lady is considerate and won’t make things difficult for the Eldest Young Master." "I hope so." As Lady Bo spoke, furrows appeared on her forehead, which seemed impossible to fill, and her brows exuded a fierce demeanor. Just as Lady Bo finished speaking, a servant walked into the front hall from outside. The source of this content ɪs novel※fire.net "Madam, the Lin family young lady is here." The servant halted just a few steps inside. As soon as the servant spoke, Lady Bo’s face transformed as if in a magic trick, sweeping away her prior gloominess, and she wore a smile, "Quickly, lead her in." "Yes, madam." The servant nodded and retreated. Lady Bo glanced sideways at the person next to her, "Today seems to be a good day, everyone’s coming to keep this old lady company." "Madam’s kindness draws the younger ones close without question." Housekeeper Liu said blandly. "Rare to hear you say something sensible." Lady Bo shot him a glance, her smile deepening with her squinted eyes. The quiet living room was suffused with a faint scent of sandalwood. If one sniffed closely, they would find that the scent grew stronger the closer one was to Lady Bo. Near the doorway were two potted expensive orchids, and though it was winter, their leaves looked vibrant and full of a somewhat noble quality. Lady Bo gracefully picked up her teacup and took a sip. Before she could set it down, a playful voice rang out. Lin Lin glanced at Lady Bo with her eyes sparkling. Lady Bo, looking at her elegant demeanor, felt quite satisfied, "Linlin, come over and sit." Lin Lin’s mouth curved with a charming smile as she lightly sat down, "Thank you, Grandma." "We’re all family, no need for constant thanks." Lady Bo’s words bore some meaning, which Lin Lin could hardly miss, and immediately, a glimmer of hope rekindled in her otherwise despondent heart. "Alright, Grandma." Lin Lin lifted her gaze and feigned curiosity, "I saw the Shu family’s car on the way here, did someone come over?" In fact, Lin Lin knew it was Shu Tingting who came; as their cars passed, the other side deliberately rolled down the rear window. Obviously, Shu Tingting did it on purpose. Of course, Lin Lin wouldn’t possibly tell Lady Bo about this little incident, since previously, the Bao Family had favored Shu Tingting as Bao Shaojin’s wife, a fact Lin Lin was aware of. As for Lady Bo later changing her mind and taking an interest in herself, Lin Lin felt overjoyed, yet she dared not slack off at all. After all, becoming the wife of the head of the Bao Family and Bao Shaojin’s wife was considered a tremendously fortuitous event for both her and the Lin Family. Lady Bo remained composed, smiling lightly, "The Shu girl came over to see me." "Tingting is so considerate," Lin Lin said in agreement, her face always carrying a serene smile. Lady Bo had honed her skills in judging people throughout her life; how could she not see that the smile didn’t reach Lin Lin’s eyes? Nevertheless, she didn’t expose her. The reason she valued Lin Lin as the granddaughter-in-law was precisely because Lin Lin was sensible and could maintain her decorum no matter the circumstances. Even so, Lady Bo couldn’t find joy in interacting with someone like her, it wasn’t as pleasant as chatting with the Tingting girl earlier. Lady Bo collected her thoughts and changed the subject, "What brings you here today?" Lin Lin was career-driven and ambitious, spending most of her time working for the Lin Corporation. "It’s because I miss you, Grandma." Lin Lin responded naturally. "You came to see if Ajin was home, didn’t you?" Lady Bo teased. Lin Lin blushed and lowered her head, coyly saying, "Grandma, I didn’t." "Alright, alright, you didn’t..." Lady Bo relented. Seeing this, Lin Lin shyly raised her head, her mind seemingly considering something, opening her mouth a few times like she wanted to say something. How could Lady Bo miss the little thoughts in her mind, "Is there something you want to tell Grandma?" Just as Lady Bo finished speaking, a servant set some tea on a high table beside Lin Lin. She glanced at it but didn’t immediately drink, instead considering how to start. "Don’t keep things bottled up, it’s bad for you. Maybe Grandma can help alleviate your worries." Lady Bo stroked the Buddha Beads on her wrist, slowly rotating them one by one, her eyes deep and dark. Lin Lin indeed couldn’t hold it in anymore. After Lady Bo’s few words, she hesitantly said, "Mr. Bao doesn’t seem to like me." Lady Bo remained silent, knowing that the other party hadn’t finished speaking. "That day, when I went to see him, I saw him with a young girl..." Lin Lin paused for a few seconds, choosing her words carefully, and finally uttered three words, "Very considerate." After she finished speaking, there was no change of expression on Lady Bo’s face, rather there was more solemnity, "You are a generous child, is this trivial matter worth worrying over?" The implication was obvious: wasn’t it normal for men to have women outside? There was no need for her concern. "Heh, I just remembered it for the moment, haven’t taken it to heart." Lin Lin’s smile seemed a bit stiff. Previously, when Lady Bo suggested she should interact more with Bao Shaojin, she had subtly hinted that being Bao Shaojin’s wife would require tolerance. When she first heard these words, her pride wouldn’t allow her to accept this matchmaking, but after considering it several times, she eventually compromised. At that time, she held on to a bit of hope that even if Bao Shaojin kept a few mistresses, he would eventually tire of them as time went by. To this day, she still holds this belief.
