Bo Jingyan coldly stared at him, a cruel smirk appearing on his face. Without waiting for any response, he left with a stern expression.
Although his marriage with Shen Qing is only a contract one with no emotional attachment.
If she did anything inappropriate, it would be seen as a loss of face for the Bo family, and he could not sit idly by.
Xia Guohua froze when he heard this, utterly clueless about what he was talking about.
Did Qingtian do something to offend him?
Fearing retaliation, Xia Guohua could only force a smile and see him out, his heart filled with dread.
Once he was gone, Xia Guohua re-entered the house. At the entrance, he saw Chen Momo’s silhouette, and he immediately froze.
He put his things down and walked towards the sofa, frowning, “What are you two doing here?”
Upon seeing him, Chen Momo stood up with a smile and explained dutifully, “Uncle Xia, we were waiting for Qingtian to come home from work.”
Xia Guohua noticed the cake and small gifts on the table and rolled his eyes in annoyance, “How did you get in?”
The cakes looked quite shabby.
Even though the Chen Family had been rich once upon a time, did they fall so far into bankruptcy that they couldn’t even afford decent cakes?
He suddenly thought about Bo Jingyan’s displeased expression earlier.
Xia Guohua furrowed his brows and stared at Chen Momo and Chen Xuanyu.
Had they upset Bo Jingyan by saying the wrong thing?
“Qingtian gave us the key, sorry Uncle Xia. We didn’t inform you in advance. We just wanted to surprise her. This won’t happen again.” Seeing his annoyed expression, Chen Momo quickly explained.
“Surprise? Do you treat this place as your house, coming and going as you please?” Xia Guohua reprimanded them and said expressionlessly, “Give me the key, and leave quickly. You’re causing a commotion!”
“Uncle Xia…” Chen Momo’s face turned pale; she was visibly uncomfortable.
Seeing Xia Guohua glaring at her, she bit her lip embarrassingly, didn’t say anything, took out the key and handed it to him.
“Come here less often. Don’t bring bad luck from your family to us. My company is at a crucial moment; I can’t afford any misfortunes!” Xia Guohua said sharply, his gaze fixed on Chen Momo as he took the key.
“…”
Chen Momo was stifling her anger, her face pale as she stayed motionless.
Seeing this, Chen Xuanyu gently pulled her, collected their things and led her out.
“Leave quickly!”
Xia Guohua waved his hand repeatedly, not intending to spare them another glance.
The Chen Family had been bankrupted for many years, getting poorer instead of better, and word was they couldn’t even afford medical care.
He didn’t want to follow in their footsteps. As long as Qingtian sticks with Bo Jingyan, they still have a chance of resurgence!
Being driven out, Chen Momo was quite disgruntled and moody throughout their journey; she was suppressing her anger.
Back when their family hadn’t gone bankrupt yet, the Xia Family’s business relied on the Chen Family’s support and her father would always include Xia Guohua in any opportunity.
Now even he wanted to kick them while they are down!
“Momo, are you okay?” Chen Xuanyu saw Chen Momo was upset, and comforted her. “Don’t take Uncle Xia’s words to heart. The company is nearing bankruptcy and he is anxious.”
Having said that, he thought of Xia Qingtian and couldn’t help but sigh, “I can only blame myself for being incompetent. I haven’t managed to turn our luck around after all these years, making you so tired. If Qingtian saw me in my current state… I suppose she would despise me.”
Back when the Chen Family hadn’t gone bankrupt yet.
He was still the proud and promising young master Chen, being pursued by countless socialities. But all he could see then was Xia Qingtian.
He had planned to tell her he loves her after taking over the company, to give her a good future, but who could have anticipated…
Upon hearing this, Chen Momo furrowed her brows and looked at Chen Xuanyu with a determined face, “Brother, you can’t think like that. We have to seize every opportunity. If we work hard, one day, the Chen Family will return to upper-class society!”
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuanyu turned to look at Chen Momo. Seeing her serious face, he slowly nodded.
After finishing her sentence, her gaze landed on the cake and gift he was holding. Her eyes darkened a bit as she said in a cold voice, “Brother, just throw these gifts out. Qingtian won’t receive them today anyway.”
“It would be such a waste to throw them away. Let’s just take them back home. We can give them to her some other day.” Chen Xuanyu shook his head and refused, his voice sincere.
Chen Momo helplessly glanced at him, said nothing, and walked ahead.
She was resentful.
One day.
She wanted to step on the feet of those who had mocked and ridiculed the Chen Family, to taste this kind of humiliation!
…
Half an hour later.
Qingtian rushed home, saw the lights were on, smiled and walked inside. As she entered the door, she said, “Sorry, Momo. I got held up by something on the road.”
Momo must have been waiting for a while.
She decided to treat her to a meal as an apology!

“Why are you only home now? Bo has been gone for a long time!” Xia Guohua saw Qingtian’s figure and frowned with dissatisfaction.
Bo?
Xia Qingtian paused while changing her shoes. Lifting her head from the entrance, she looked towards Xia Guohua, “What was Bo Jingyan here for? Did he say anything to you?”
“Some unhappy words.” Xia Guohua recalled the events and frowned, speaking worriedly, “Qingtian, have you done anything to upset him recently?”
“No.” Xia Qingtian finished changing her shoes, walked towards the living room, speaking in a puzzled manner.
Why did Bo Jingyan suddenly come to her house?
Could it be to find “Shen Qing”?
With this thought, Qingtian furrowed her brows and cautiously said, “Dad, if he comes again, let me know in advance. Also, under no circumstances should he be allowed into my room!”
Xia Guohua looked at her puzzledly, seeing the seriousness on her face, he didn’t pry further and simply nodded his agreement.
After that, he couldn’t help but remind her again, “Qingtian, don’t ruin relations with Bo. Try to please him as much as possible. Otherwise, there would be no hope left for the company!”
Xia Qingtian was not too interested in hearing these words. She perfunctorily responded a few times and quickly changed the topic. “Dad, did you see Momo?”
She had called her an hour ago.
By right, she should have already arrived.
Why didn’t she see her?
“Don’t mention those brother and sister. They’re such bad luck! The company is at a critical moment now, seeing them would only add to my troubles!” Upon hearing this, Xia Guohua’s face changed drastically and he spoke sharply.
“Dad, what are you talking about?” Upon hearing his words, Qingtian looked at him rather crossly and retorted, “Momo is my friend, and you’ve known her since she was little. How could you say such vicious things?”
“Exactly because I’ve seen the Chen Family’s fall, I feel that they’re all bad luck.”
Xia Guohua spoke as if he were discussing a matter of fact, his eyes full of contempt, “And don’t just casually give out my keys to them. Who knows what they might do? The moment I saw them, I drove them away!”
