Chapter 852: Chapter 704: Liked You From the First Glance 45
"Hey, big brother, who is this? Is she that little girl you adopted?" Bo San didn’t know when he had sidled up next to Bo Qin and teased.
Bo Qin shook off his hand, patted away the nonexistent dust on his shoulder, "Stay away from me, I’m worried you’ll lower my IQ."
"Come on, big brother, don’t be so mean."
Bo San’s face turned red with embarrassment, but he decided not to argue with the boss and instead turned to join Jian Dan and the elder aunt.
The elder lady of the Bo Family saw Bo San and laughed helplessly, "You came back today as well?"
Bo San responded with a couple of hums, his gaze measuring Jian Dan, and the elder lady introduced him, "This is the little girl your big brother adopted, let me introduce her to you, her name is Jian Dan, Dan from Handan."
Bo San smiled warmly, looking very friendly, and gave Jian Dan a once-over, speaking blandly, "Little Jian Dan, my big brother sure lacks romance, is he good to you? Did he ever say when he’d let you join the family formally?"
The elder lady worried Jian Dan might be thin-skinned, and since Bo San had no sense of shame, she reached out to hit him, "Stop spouting nonsense, you’re always so disrespectful, believe it or not, I’ll smite you."
Bo San shielded his elder aunt’s descending hand, yelping, "Auntie, I’m wrong, I’m wrong, mercy please."
Jian Dan was dumbfounded, this man was overacting a lot, the way he was pretending to be hit, it wouldn’t hurt at all, right?
Earlier, pale from Bo San’s questioning, Jian Dan was feeling much better now, she patted her chest and smiled at Bo San, "Uncle San."
Uncle?
Bo San stopped yelling, moved closer to Jian Dan, "Little girl, take a serious look at me. Where do you see an uncle in me? Where do you see uncle potential?"
Have you ever seen an uncle as young and lively as me?"
Jian Dan was shocked at how concerned he was about his age, "Uncle San, you’re a man, why care so much about your age? People call me auntie, I don’t mind at all."
Bo San was aggrieved: "... I won’t talk to you anymore, it’s pointless, you’ve been influenced by my big brother to be too mature. This isn’t good; a young girl should be vibrant, like enjoying colorful things, going to movies, or hanging out with friends, isn’t that fun?"
Jian Dan thought about it and shook her head, "I honestly don’t find that fun at all, I’d rather sleep at home."
Bo San, "..."
Girl, your lazy thoughts are dangerous, very unacceptable, how can a young person have such ideas?
Bo San shifted the topic, asking Jian Dan about her age and where she studied; Jian Dan briefly answered him, saying only what he inquired, and Bo San smacked his lips, "Turns out you’re a top student."
Jian Dan was a bit embarrassed, but the elder lady was genuinely happy for her, she looked amusedly at her nephew Bo San, "San, academic achievement is not something you can envy, look at your grades throughout the years, then you’ll find the feeling."
Her words left him feeling humiliated facing a top student.
Bo San pouted, "Auntie, I’m just fond of performance art, skills aren’t important to me, you know I just feel a little shy."
The elder lady, "..." Suddenly she didn’t feel like talking to her nephew anymore.
...
In the reception hall, the Bo Family’s elder uncle stared seriously at his son, occasionally glancing at the Flower Hall on the other side, "That little girl, is she the daughter of your friend, the one you adopted many years ago?"
Bo Qin made a sound of agreement, his gaze shifted, he smiled, "She’s very sensible."
The elder uncle of the Bo Family said, "I could see that, you should have brought her back to celebrate New Year’s with the family before. Since you’ve adopted her, she’s naturally part of our family, coming home for New Year’s while leaving her in the villa alone isn’t quite right."
"That was my oversight."
"I heard she injured her hand, what happened?"
Bo Qin paused for a moment, and slowly stated, "It’s not a big deal, it happened in the cafeteria; she bumped into a classmate who was serving soup, and the soup spilled on her arm, causing the issue."
"Hmm." Grandpa Bo also joined in, looking at Bo Qin, he spread out the newspaper in his hand, pushed up his reading glasses, "Big boy, you’re not young anymore, there are things you need to plan."
Bo Qin understood what his grandpa meant, urging him to think about life’s important matters, but Bo Qin wasn’t interested in discussing these right now. Seemingly seeing through his thoughts, Grandpa Bo coughed once and said, "Among your siblings, it’s just Xiaowa who’s a girl, I don’t want to constrain her, she’s special. But you’re the eldest, now of age, I think you should save yourself."
