Chapter 2196 - 300: Diverting Attention

Jin Bo: "Okay."

The old man leaned on his cane, walking towards the stairs.

Jin Bo, with long strides, followed him.

Upon reaching the second floor, seeing the old man still going up, Jin Bo reminded, "Grandpa, the study is on the second floor."

The old man stopped, turned around, and gave Jin Bo a chilly glance, "That’s the second son’s study."

Jin Bo: "..."

Second son’s means second son’s, but why does Grandpa speak with such hostility?

The old man averted his gaze, remembering that last time he went to the second son’s study to read some books, the second son was busy, and he said he wouldn’t disturb him. Yet, he was still kicked out and forbidden from going to his study again!

Just thinking about it made him furious.

No choice but to ask Uncle Guan to tidy up an abandoned room on the third floor for him as a study.

Jin Bo followed behind, watching Grandpa clanging his cane on the steps deliberately. Could it be that Grandpa went to the second son’s study and was despised?

Probably, right?

How was he supposed to know this!

Following the old man all the way to the third floor, entering the room, he saw Grandpa sitting in a wooden wicker chair. Jin Bo sat beside him.

The old man looked at Jin Bo, "Has Fang Zheng done anything else under your name?"

Jin Bo: "Just a few bribery and corruption matters, nothing serious."

The old man nodded, "Really one who doesn’t show true colors, previously wouldn’t have guessed it."

Jin Bo: "..."

Indeed!

He and the second son hadn’t noticed Fang Zheng’s issues before; he hid it too deeply.

And Fang Zheng took bribes in his name recently, combined with the impending wedding, the charges would have been cemented.

Luckily, due to Xiaoxi’s phone call, a clue was revealed, connecting the dots, eventually allowing Huo Bei to uncover some facts. With early precautions against Fang Zheng, they managed to avert disaster.

Yesterday, with perfect timing, everything ready, he and Shen You took the chance to stage a good play, finally eliminating the hidden danger.

He had a brief chat with the old man.

After hearing it, the old man felt much relieved, "So you don’t have any issues recently, putting all your energy into preparing for the wedding."

Jin Bo: "When Huo Bei has free time, I plan to go with them siblings to pay respects to my in-laws."

The old man nodded, "That’s more like the right way of doing things."

...

A week later, Jin Bo took Yan Xiaoxi to get a custom wedding dress, still at the place where he took her for the evening gown before.

Jin Bo sat on the side, watching them measure Yan Xiaoxi’s shoulder width, chest circumference, waist circumference, hip circumference, and a bunch of other things.

After Xiaoxi was measured, and together they chose several attractive evening gowns, they returned to Nanyuan Villa.

Upon arrival, Huo Bei was already prepared.

Because Xiaoxi was in the early pregnancy stage, the old man insisted she not take a plane, letting Boss and Huo Bei take turns driving there.

The necessary items to bring were already well packed.

After lunch, Yan Xiaoxi took a nap, and the three of them hit the road.

Initially, Huo Bei drove, while Jin Bo and Yan Xiaoxi sat in the back.

After four hours, Jin Bo offered to take over.

Huo Bei: "No need, I’m fine, I’m not tired, you stay in the back with Xiaoxi."

Jin Bo: "Don’t push yourself, if you can’t go on, say the word, I’ll drive."

Huo Bei glanced back at Jin Bo and Yan Xiaoxi’s direction, "I know my limits."

Jin Bo felt much reassured by that.

...

At night, they finally reached their hometown.

Back in the day, the town they lived in was hit by a mudslide and flood disaster, the entire village submerged.

The parents drowned while saving the two of them.
