Chapter 16: Seduced by a Vixen

Old Madam Bo, her face dark and menacing, instantly changed her expression upon hearing the news, her face softening as she said, “It’s cold outside, quickly bring them in!”

Then she turned her head to look at Butler Zhou beside her, her eyes filled with smiles, “I was just thinking about asking her to come over and chat with me, and she’s here!” She completely forgot that she hadn’t finished dealing with Sang Tian.

Butler Zhou smiled warmly, echoing her, “Miss Jiang must have heard your thoughts.”

Hearing this, Old Madam Bo was even happier. She stood up from her seat and walked out, going to greet her.

This was the first time Sang Tian had seen her so enthusiastic.

The Bo family was a century-old family, but by Old Madam Bo’s generation, their family line was thin, and they didn’t have a single son.

Old Madam Bo, as the eldest daughter of the Bo family, inherited the family business, which was met with strong opposition from the elders!

They said that a woman who married out was like water that had been spilled, she couldn’t inherit the family business!

Every member of the Bo family wanted to adopt their own son to the then head of the Bo family, to have their son replace Old Madam Bo as the heir.

But as soon as one came, Old Madam Bo would get rid of them, and as soon as another came, she would get rid of them, until everyone saw her ruthless methods and had to submit.

All her sons took her surname, as for her husband’s name, no one cared.

In her youth, she had also been a powerful figure in Jin City, covering the sky with one hand.

Even now that she had entered her old age, when people in the business world mentioned her name, they would praise her.

Everyone had to give her face, she was the one who was greeted, but today was the first time she had seen her go to greet someone else.

Jiang Wantang was indeed different, she was deeply loved by Old Madam Bo.

Sang Tian felt a little envious in her heart.

It wasn’t that she wanted Old Madam Bo’s affection, she had stopped expecting that since she was very young. It was just that she felt that Jiang Wantang was truly a darling of fate, not only did she have a good family background and parents who doted on her, but she could also marry the most unique man in the world, and receive the love and blessings of his mother.

This was something she had always wanted, but something she would never get in her lifetime.

She was truly envious.

Before the people, Sang Tian heard Jiang Wantang’s voice first, she was greeting Old Madam Bo at the door.

Her voice was gentle as water, every word was pleasing to the ears of the elderly, she coaxed Old Madam Bo to smile so much that her mouth wouldn’t close.

Sang Tian admitted that she didn’t have this skill.

“Sang Tian, are you also here to see your aunt?”

Sang Tian looked up and saw the bruise on the woman’s forehead, hidden by her bangs, and the bandage on her hand.

So, Old Madam Bo was referring to hitting Jiang Wantang and causing her to get hurt?

Was she here to complain?

Didn’t Bo Si say she was magnanimous and didn’t mind?

Sang Tian shifted her gaze to Bo Si behind Jiang Wantang. He was as dignified and composed as ever, with no expression on his face. From the moment he entered the door, he hadn’t even given her a glance.

It was as if he wasn’t the one who had held her and kissed her forehead last night. Tenderness and affection had nothing to do with him, there was only coldness and detachment now.

Good, that’s how they should be.

Part ways.

Sang Tian retracted her gaze.

“Sang Tian, is this how you were taught etiquette? You don’t even respond when an elder speaks to you?” Old Madam Bo, it seemed she had learned Sichuan Opera, her face changed faster than a stopwatch, “Why don’t you call her Aunt?!”

Sang Tian was in a bad mood, Old Madam Bo was using her grandmother to control her, she didn’t feel like she needed to put on a show anymore.

Everything should be laid bare.

She glanced at Jiang Wantang, the other party was blushing, she said shyly, “Tian Tian is still young, she doesn’t understand, it’s okay if she doesn’t call you.”

As if she was much older than her.

Sang Tian curled her lips, “I remember Miss Jiang hasn’t gotten her marriage certificate with Uncle yet. This ‘Aunt’ thing, I’ll wait until you get your certificate before I call you that. After all, men are fickle, especially a man as outstanding as my Uncle, you never know, maybe he’ll be seduced by some vixen in a couple of days!”

“If I call you Aunt in front of everyone now, wouldn’t that be slapping myself in the face later?” She turned to look at Old Madam Bo, smiling, “Old Madam, don’t you think so? Even if you like Miss Jiang more, you can’t control Uncle’s three legs. What if some vixen…”

“Sang Tian! Shut your mouth!” Old Madam Bo raised her hand to hit her, but fortunately, she was old and her hands and feet weren’t as nimble as a young person’s, so Sang Tian dodged to the side.

Old Madam Bo was furious, she would hit anyone she wanted to hit, “Uncle Chen!”

This was getting serious.

Jiang Wantang was quite angry with Sang Tian’s words, her face still wasn’t looking good. Of course, she wouldn’t pretend to be a good person and persuade Old Madam Bo.

She was happy to have someone vent her anger for her.

Uncle Chen walked over. He was tall and strong, it was said that he was a mercenary in the Middle East in his youth, he had taken countless bullets. Standing behind Sang Tian, he was like a wall, invisibly confining her. As soon as she moved, he could quickly subdue her.

Sang Tian didn’t think about resisting. In the Bo family’s old mansion, she was just an orphan, she could only be slaughtered.

If she had any room for resistance, it was only her tongue that could gain the upper hand.

She raised her chin, letting Old Madam Bo hit her.

Old Madam Bo raised her hand—

“Mom! Wantang is gentle and timid, you’re scaring her!” Bo Si suddenly spoke.

Sang Tian opened her tightly closed eyes and looked at Bo Si with clear eyes.

She was scared like this? Jiang Wantang was really delicate.

Or maybe he was too protective of her, treating her like a child.

Sang Tian’s already heavy heart sank even further.

Old Madam Bo came to her senses, turned her head to look at Jiang Wantang beside her, the ruthlessness in her eyes disappeared, she smiled, “Did I scare you? Your aunt was just angry, don’t mind her!”

Jiang Wantang smiled, “How could I? Your aunt was a powerful figure in the business world in her youth, how could she not have some thunderous methods? It’s just that I’m soft-hearted, I’ll have to learn from your aunt in the future.”

“You’re good like this, gentle and virtuous. Just stay at home and help Bo Si manage the family in the future, everything will be fine with Bo Si. Those nasty people, someone will take care of them for you.”

Old Madam Bo took Jiang Wantang’s hand, the two of them chatted and laughed as they walked out, “Come with me to the flower room and take a look at the king protea I just had people transplant back from South Africa.”

Their voices grew fainter and fainter, Sang Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed she wouldn’t be punished today.

But before she could finish her sigh of relief, she heard Old Madam Bo’s stern voice coming from outside the door, “Wait in the hall, I still have something to tell you! Don’t leave a single step without my permission!”

Sang Tian’s heart clenched, a sense of powerlessness. It seemed that she had been controlled by the Bo family since she was a child.

Just a casual word from a member of the Bo family could restrict her freedom.

The brief freedom she had was given to her by Bo Si, who protected her.

The man hadn’t left yet, he was standing beside her, looking down at her, his slightly retracted jawline was cold and sharp, “What good deed did you do to make Mother unhappy, and Uncle Chen brought you here?”

Sang Tian stiffened her neck, “You should ask yourself that! What did you say yesterday? No further action? Then what is this today?!”
