Stop Messing Around, Mr Bo! - Chapter 188

Chapter 188: She Was Helpless and Scared Back Then

Bo Jinchuan stared at her and quipped, “You’re still happy despite being bullied?”

Shen Fanxing forced a smile, which eventually disappeared.

“When Jiang Rongrong asked me to announce the annulment of the engagement, my first reaction was feeling pretty sad. Her intentions were too obvious, and I know that your worries are not unfounded. I should have gotten used to that, but I couldn’t be totally nonchalant…”

Shen Fanxing sighed quietly as she looked at the guests walking out of the hotel. Her expression was cold but her lips twitched.

“After all, they treated me well when I was younger. In this world, they’re the only people who’re related to me…”

“I remember the old director of the welfare institute once said this about the children. She said that even if any of them were to find a home, in their hearts, there would always be a place for the children, and teachers at the welfare institute. Because children are innocent, and their hearts are like a blank piece of paper. The first stroke written on it is often the most unforgettable…”

“I even thought of redeeming myself after my mother passed away. But they didn’t even give me the chance to do that…

“I was too conflicted back then. I hated them for pushing my mother into a corner, but I was also selfish and didn’t want them to abandon me… I only remembered how scary that feeling was. At that time, I wasn’t prepared to face everything on my own. The helplessness and fear made me so flustered that I didn’t know what to do…”

“I’ve been pampered and taken care of since I was born. Before that, I never thought that I would have to face everything all by myself one day. Yang Liwei and her daughter entered the family and my mother was forced to leave. I couldn’t even handle Shen Qianrou’s underhanded methods. My mother has never taught me these. I reckon she’s not good at dealing with scheming people. If she knew how to, she wouldn’t have ended up like that…”

The atmosphere in the car was tense and Shen Fanxing took a deep breath. Her eyes darted around as she tried to lighten the mood.

“No matter how much I missed them in the past or how I can’t bear to break ties with them, now, it’s all over… They’ve gone overboard time and time again, wearing out all of my patience… I don’t know why they have treated me so differently once Shen Qianrou entered the Shen family. But it’s also because of all of them, that I’ve become who I am now…”

Shen Fanxing’s distinct gentle voice sounded in the car, echoing for a long time before it died down.

“You have me now.”

Bo Jinchuan’s deep voice sounded. He cupped the back of Shen Fanxing’s head and pulled her to his chest gently, and pressed his forehead on hers.

“You won’t be alone. I’ll always be by your side.”

Shen Fanxing smiled and nodded. “Okay.”

“So, you shouldn’t have come here today. Why did you give them the chance to bully you?”

Bo Jinchuan ruffled her hair, still angry at her for agreeing to Jiang Rongrong’s request.

“I’ll fulfill his wish and let myself off. There’s no way Su Heng and I can continue on. Putting my family aside, it’s for everyone’s sake if I initiate to annul the engagement with Su Heng. I’m willing to do that.”
