After Playing the Fool and Marrying the Blind Villain [Transmigration] - Chap 14
Facing this sudden, unforeseen event, all of the guests present widened their eyes.
Wasn’t Bo Yueming unable to see?
But the ruthlessness of the strikes and his intimidating aura absolutely caused them not to underestimate him!
Pei Yi also hadn’t expected Bo Yueming to make a decisive move, and for a moment, he couldn’t help but look up to observe his expression—
It was still the same proud, handsome face that could captivate countless people, but the eyes hidden under the lenses were darker, giving off an indelible sharpness.
Bo Yueming put the guide cane back in front of him with an indifferent arc at the corners of his mouth. “Did I hit something? My eyes are not very convenient.”
It was clearly intentional, but you’re still using your eyes as an excuse?
When the Wei family couple saw their son collapsed on the ground with a pale face, they were distressed and angry. “Second Young Master, by doing this, aren’t you disregarding the relationship between our two families!”
“Yes, ah, it’s Old Mr. Bo’s birthday, after all, and your every move represents the Bo family!”
Old Mr. Bo had lived most of his life under the oppression of Old Mrs. Bo. This year, he managed to gain the panache of a master, so he naturally took extra care of his face.
Hearing this, his gray beard trembled slightly.
“Relationship?”
Bo Yueming seized the key word and made a preemptive strike. “In terms of relationship, Bo and Pei have just announced the marriage between them, and the young masters of your two families dared to block Pei Yi in private and belittle me with every sentence.”
“Since every word and deed represents the family, then daring to ask Director Wei and Director Chen, are you looking down on the Pei family? Are you still not giving our Bo family face?”
With just a few words, Bo Yueming escalated the conflict to a family level, and it happened to be well-founded.
“You…..”
The families of Wei and Chen were blocked so thoroughly that they couldn’t speak.
After all, Wei Bo and Chen Yang were indeed the ones who started this series of disputes!
“If I remember correctly, Bo has business cooperations with your two families?”
Bo Yueming threw out the facts lightly, as if asking a casual question. “The two young masters dared to criticize our Bo family like this behind our backs. I wonder what the elders of the two families teach them behind closed doors?”
Pei Yi lowered his head, trying to hide the corners of his mouth that couldn’t be pressed down any longer.
As expected of Bo Yueming, who had villainous potential. He easily smashed a dirty pot that was difficult to clean up. It was interesting to see the other party’s angry and aggrieved looks.
Bo Yueming brought this series of accounts to a point, and turned to ask Old Mr. Bo for advice. “Grandpa, Grandma is unwell and hasn’t been in charge of the Bo business for a long time. How will you see this matter resolved?”
These words seemed to elevate Old Mr. Bo to a high position and put him in charge of making a decision, but in fact, they pushed the inevitable ending onto him to announce—
Was there anyone here who didn’t know?
Old Mrs. Bo, Bo Peizhi, was a well-known strong woman in the Imperial capital circle, and the reason why the Bo family was able to build a solid foundation today was all due to her swift and resolute handling methods and rules.
For example, Wei and Chen openly accepted Bo’s cooperation but secretly reproached their partner behind their backs. If Old Mrs. Bo was on the scene, she would definitely kill them all on the spot!
All of the guests thought about this, then turned their attention to Old Mr. Bo.
“…….”
Old Mr. Bo squinted his eyes. He didn’t expect to be lifted onto an elevated platform in a sly way by a junior, but the matter had come to this point. It was better to shame the two parties who were at fault than to apologize.
Old Mr. Bo only hesitated for a few seconds, then put on a stern face. “What Yueming said is reasonable. Since they look down on our Bo family and me as a leader, they don’t need to rely on our Bo family’s cooperation.”
When the heads of the Wei and Chen families heard this, they raised their eyebrows anxiously. “Old Mr. Bo, this is a serious matter! The cooperation with our two families has always been good, how can it just be stopped!”
The two of them were just small families in the wealthy circle of the Imperial capital. That is to say, they only lived a better life after climbing the Bo family. If the cooperation was broken, this would be revealed, ah!
They didn’t receive any benefits or favors, but on the contrary, practically ruined their family’s fortune?
They knew they shouldn’t have made such a fuss just now!
Old Mr. Bo feigned politeness. “The signed cooperation still must be done well. We can talk about the rest.”
As the head of the family, Wei Dingbang was angry and anxious. He couldn’t vent on other families’ sons, so he kicked his own son fiercely in the back.
“When did I teach you to say such nonsense? You still haven’t apologized to Old Mr. Bo, quickly say it for me clearly now!”
Faced with his own parents’ anger, Wei Bo became a soft egg. His original intention was to curry favor with Bo Wang. How could it have backfired to this extent?
At this moment, Chen Yang on the side couldn’t hold back and said, “It, it was Young Master Bo!”
When Pei Yi and Bo Yueming heard this, they both felt a passing hint of appreciation.
Very good.
At last, the mastermind behind the scenes had been revealed!
In a cold sweat, Wei Bo followed after the confession, “Bo Wang said that he didn’t like Pei Yi and Second Young Master Bo, so he asked us to find a chance…..”
Bo Wang, who was hiding in the crowd, denied it vehemently. “What nonsense are you talking about!”
Little did he know that this impatient retort fell into the ears of the other guests and instead became a kind of unspoken ironclad evidence—
After going on for half a day, it turned out that the young master of the Bo family started this trouble?
This Bo Yueming was his half-brother, after all. Now that he was blind and married to a helpless little fool like Pei Yi, how could he have a future?
Why was he so intolerant of him? After all, they were relatives who shared the same blood, ah!
Human hearts always sympathized with the underdog.
The guests looked at Bo Yueming and Pei Yi standing together, and the balance of right and wrong shifted unconsciously.
Bo Wang received inquisitive gazes from all directions and felt embarrassment that he had never experienced in his life. He couldn’t hold back the temperamental outburst of a young master, and pushed away the guests on both sides, leaving in a hurry.
“……”
Old Mr. Bo did not expect that this matter would snowball and become increasingly bigger, and that the little grandson who was just identified would just walk away. His chest trembled with anger. “Simply nonsense!”
Bo Guancheng witnessed Bo Yueming gain the upper hand in the blink of an eye, and only felt that this kid Bo Wang was an incompetent bungler.
While Old Mr. Bo was anxious, he quickly interrupted and changed the subject. “Ladies and gentlemen, this corridor is too narrow. With so many people standing here, the air will not circulate well. Shall we move back to the banquet hall and continue our conversation?”
Everyone understood the meaning in these words, and seeing Old Mr. Bo move, they all followed suit.
Very quickly, the crowd in the corridor mostly dispersed.
Yan Cen was not interested in seeing the rest of the excitement,. He gave a low laugh as he saw through his friend’s schemes. “Your series of striking cattle across the mountains[1] was truly beautiful.”
“It was their turn to lose face.”
Bo Yueming didn’t feel that he had gone too far. The hand that had been pressed to Pei Yi’s back patted again. “Pei Yi, are you injured?”
“……Not.”
Pei Yi shook his head, and the fire extinguisher in his arms rattled.
Bo Yueming reacted after a couple of seconds and fumbled for the top of the fire extinguisher. “Isn’t it heavy to hold? Put it down.”
“Oh.”
Pei Yi slowly began to feel a bit stupid like this, so he obediently dropped it.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”
Li Yuan, who was standing diagonally across from the three of them, spoke to regain his sense of existence. He was just about to retreat through the security access door when Yan Cen called out to stop him. “This gentleman, your hand seems to be injured.”
Pei Yi immediately glanced over—
There was a trail of blood dripping from Li Yuan’s right index finger. If one didn’t look closely, it would be easy to miss.
“Why don’t the four of us go back to the rest area to sit down? At least treat the wound, besides…..” Yan Cen looked at Li Yuan’s suit that was stained with foam from the fire extinguisher, and kindly reminded him, “Do you need to change your suit?”
“……”
Li Yuan hid his injured fingertip, and his eyes brightened and then darkened.
In fact, Wei Bo was correct in what he said. He and all these guests present were not from the same world.
Today, he managed to get an invitation letter with difficulty through his contacts. He had originally wanted to secure an investment agreement for his company that was on the verge of bankruptcy, but failed repeatedly after entering the venue.
Feeling powerless, he hid in the security access passage and smoked to relieve his depression, but couldn’t help meddling and got himself dirty.
Pei Yi and Bo Yueming dealt with the Wei and Chen families out of anger, but he didn’t know if the latter would transfer their fury to him, so it was better to leave this place as soon as possible.
Li Yuan shied away. “No need. The suit isn’t expensive, and there is no need to deal with this minor injury.”
Pei Yi hated owing favors the most. Even though he was capable of dealing with the situation himself just now, Li Yuan chose to help and was injured because of it.
Pei Yi stepped forward quickly and tugged Li Yuan to prevent him from leaving. “Have to stop the bleeding. I’ll help you.”
Hearing Pei Yi’s words, Bo Yueming remembered the night he fell in the bathroom. The other party was also as determined to treat his wound as he was now, and while applying medicine to stop the bleeding, pressed with his fingertips to divert his attention.
Thinking that such actions would be repeated on others, Bo Yueming inexplicably frowned for a fleeting moment. “This gentleman, I don’t know what to call him?”
“Li Yuan.”
Li Yuan reported his name.
Held onto tightly by Pei Yi, he couldn’t leave immediately.
“Mr. Li, take a rest with us to disinfect it. Thank you for your help just now.”
Bo Yueming went along with Pei Yi’s intention to detain the guest, and then signaled to his friend, “Yan Cen, help this gentleman deal with it, ba. Pei Yi can’t handle this sort of thing well.”
Pei Yi, whose abilities were inexplicably questioned, was unwilling. “I can.”
Bo Yueming looked in his direction with his gaze separated by a layer of fog and retorted softly, “You can’t, if you handle it, it must be redone and re-bandaged.”
“……”
Okay.
The next time you get hurt, who cares who takes care of you.
Pei Yi made a silent note in his heart. However, he feared that Yan Cen and Li Yuan, two outsiders, would see through his act of “playing dumb,” so he had no choice but to agree to give up the task of “treating the wound.”
As soon as the force on his wrist loosened, his words of refusal also dissipated.
Li Yuan’s eyes flickered slightly, and he awkwardly patted the dry powder on his clothes. “All right, then I’ll trouble you.”
Yan Cen glanced at his friend. “Then I’ll call an attendant to get a medicine box first, and you guys wait for me in the rest area?”
Bo Yueming agreed, and called out again, “Pei Yi, come here.”
Peo Yi still recalled the small incident just now and let out a soft snort.
Bo Yueming’s expression revealed a trace of helplessness. “I can’t see, and Uncle Kai hasn’t returned yet, so you must lead the way for me.”
“……Hmph.”
Wasn’t he wearing guide glasses?
Didn’t he question him just now?
Pei Yi made a series of complaints from the bottom of his heart, but he still walked to Bo Yueming’s side. After all, the two of them had already bonded on the surface, and there was no actual conflict.
Sensing Pei Yi’s approach, Bo Yueming stretched out his hand to feel around.
Raising his hand a bit higher, his fingertips brushed soft hair and inadvertently slipped down to the back of the neck, then pressed down unconsciously.
A cool touch was felt on the back of his neck, making Pei Yi duck away sensitively. He quickly grabbed Bo Yueming’s “lost” hand and held it. “I’m here.”
“En, apologies. Let’s go.”
Bo Yueming responded and let Pei Yi lead him out.
He recalled the brief few seconds of contact just now, and there was a rare sense of fun in the eyes hidden under the lenses—
Soft.
Almost the same as petting a kitten.
And there seemed to be a slightly raised mole?
