As soon as the sports car came to a stop, Bo Wang got out.
He gazed into the distance at the villa that had long been unoccupied and laughed mockingly at himself.
What was he thinking?
How could Ning Xi possibly afford to live in a villa here?
"Mr. Bo, don’t forget to attend tomorrow’s event."
Qin Chao waved to Bo Wang from the sports car, and the yellow vehicle sped away in a flash.
Zhang Yang, the assistant who had been waiting by the gate, stepped forward and handed a phone to Bo Wang, saying, "Mr. Bo, the phone you requested."
Bo Wang took the phone and strode into the villa with an arrogant, swaggering gait.
As soon as Old Master Bo saw that Bo Wang had returned safely, he smiled warmly and asked, "My dear grandson, I heard from your father that you brought a girl back to the capital? Where is she?"
Bo Wang casually sprawled on the sofa, his feet clad in combat boots resting improperly on the marble coffee table.
"Grandpa, don’t get the wrong idea. That girl is my creditor. If it weren’t for her yesterday, I would’ve died in the deep mountains."
Bo Wang glanced at Bo’s Father and his young Stepmother with a half-smile, his tone icy as he asked, "Grandpa, as the heir to the Bo Group, is my life worth a billion?"
Old Master Bo laughed heartily. "Absolutely!"
"Mr. Bo, that billion is a thank-you fee for saving my life. Understand?"
Stepmother spoke up before Bo’s Father could. "Since she’s the one who saved Xiao Wang, just giving a thank-you fee isn’t enough. We should invite her to our home and treat her as an honored guest."
She paused deliberately, teasing, "As the old saying goes, 'To repay a life-saving favor, one should offer oneself in marriage.' How about…"
Old Master Bo’s cane struck the ground heavily with a thud.
"What about Bo Wang’s fiancée? As long as I’m alive, you, as his stepmother, have no right to meddle in his affairs."
Stepmother pinched Bo’s Father’s back, and he instinctively straightened up, saying sternly, "Dad, you’ve always said Bo Wang has a fiancée, but all these years have passed, and Bo Wang is already 22. Where is this fiancée?"
Old Master Bo raised his cane and struck Bo’s Father forcefully.
"Fool! Get out!"
Bo’s Father and Stepmother stood up angrily and left.
Old Master Bo looked at his precious grandson Bo Wang’s carefree, roguish demeanor and couldn’t help but feel furious.
"Bo Wang, you should settle down and prepare to return to the group for work." Old Master Bo sighed deeply. "If your fiancée knew what you’re like now, the first thing she’d do is break off the engagement."
A thoughtful expression appeared on Bo Wang’s exceptionally handsome face.
"Grandpa, do I really have a fiancée?"
Old Master Bo glared at Bo Wang angrily and said in a low voice, "The token has always been hanging around your neck."
Bo Wang pulled out a crescent-shaped jade pendant from his neck and said, "This worthless thing?"
"It saved you from a disaster."
As soon as Old Master Bo finished speaking, the gray-haired Butler walked in with a joyful expression.
The Butler approached Old Master Bo, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "Someone has moved into the villa next door."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Bo, despite his difficulty walking, grabbed his cane and hurried outside to the living room.
The Butler promptly handed him a telescope.
Old Master Bo looked through the telescope at the neighboring villa.
Indeed!
Someone was indeed living there.
Old Master Bo, acting like a young man with a budding crush, instructed the butler.
"Butler, quickly prepare a generous gift for the neighbor next door."
The butler replied respectfully, "Yes."
"No… wait a moment." Old Master Bo added urgently, "It's too late now. Let's wait until tomorrow…"
Bo Wang stood beside Old Master Bo, one hand in his pocket, gazing at the lights in the neighboring villa from a distance. He asked, "Grandpa, could it be that your sweetheart lives next door?"
