Chapter 137: Wrong Decision
Before Bao Sihan's mother returned, Gu Wenyan had actually already investigated the relevant information.
She also learned the story of the Bo Family over these years; today, Bao Sihan has already successfully become the master of the entire Bo Family, becoming the Head of the Family who manages the entire Bo Family.
Bao Sihan's word is law; no one can possess more powerful authority than him.
But before he obtained all of this, the Bo Family also went through a very long period of internal struggle, with intense conditions.
This included Bao Sihan and his mother, who also nearly sacrificed themselves in this internal struggle for interests.
To speak of these matters, one must trace them back many years; the previous Bo Family Patriarch actually thought highly of Bao Sihan's father and had corresponding plans to hand the future Bo Group over to his hands.
It was just that heaven did not grant one's wishes; Bao Sihan's father died in an accidental car crash, leaving behind only the still-young Bao Sihan and his mother.
Under those conditions, even if the Bo Family Patriarch at the time wanted to leave the Bo Family to Bao Sihan, it was not very possible, and he would even be met with difficulties from others.
When Bao Sihan was young, he could not possibly have had the ability to manage all that he possessed, so the status and existence of the mother and son in the Bo Family immediately became awkward, and even full of risks.
Furthermore, the massive inheritance left behind by Bao Sihan's father placed them in even greater danger.
Also, because of the passing of Bao Sihan's father, the Bo Family Patriarch suffered from excessive worry and grief, causing his health to deteriorate day by day, and gradually he was unable to manage Bo Shi.
Bao Sihan's several uncles began to fight crazily at this time, wanting to snatch everything of the Bo Group into their own hands.
It was at this time that Bao Sihan's mother stood out, and in the name of Bao Sihan, she also participated in this war.
Unexpectedly, everyone thought Bao Sihan's mother was just a pampered woman, but no one expected that when her husband passed away and she was isolated and helpless, she could actually erupt with potential, and even surprisingly snatch Bo Group into her hands temporarily.
Of course, wanting a complete victory was not such an easy matter for Bao Sihan's mother at that time.
At that time, the outside world believed that Bao Sihan's mother would sooner or later lose everything she possessed; under such conditions, how could Bao Sihan and she possibly defeat those ambitious people?
However, Bao Sihan's mother gritted her teeth and carried on year after year, until Bao Sihan was 14 years old, when he already possessed the ability to shoulder the heavy responsibilities of the Bo Family.
Then, his mother retired, finally no longer having to think all day about how to fight with other members of the Bo Family.
Also, after Bao Sihan ascended to his position, he finally held the power of the Bo Family in his hands, not giving anyone else any extra chance.
At that time, Bao Sihan let people know what it meant for a tiger father to have no dog sons; his ability was astonishing, and at a young age, he already had superb methods and deep schemes, so those other uncles simply did not have the ability to oppose him, and they quickly lost completely.
Everyone sheepishly gave up on competing with Bao Sihan for the family power and also accepted him as the new Head of the Family of the Bo Family.
Although they were unwilling to accept this fact, they still had to acknowledge it.
At that time, Bao Sihan's performance indeed exceeded their expectations, and his temperament and ambition were even stronger than any one of them.
It was very similar to when the Bo Family Patriarch was young.
Although Bao Sihan successfully turned the tide, having such an opportunity was also thanks to his mother, a woman who held on until he was mature and had the ability to support everything.
Many people in those years described Bao Sihan's mother as an Iron Lady; although Bao Sihan's mother has now completely abdicated and handed all power to Bao Sihan, her ability is beyond doubt.
One could tell from her appearance that she possessed an aura that made people fearful; if anyone looked down on her, they would find that they would definitely be very unlucky under her hands.
Today was the first time Gu Wenyan formally met Bao Sihan's mother; although she had heard many rumors about her before, it was ultimately not as shocking as seeing her in person.
She also knew that the relationship between Bao Sihan and his mother was extremely good, especially in those perilous times back then, when his mother was able to shoulder everything and hold onto the Bo Family, which finally allowed Bao Sihan to have the ability to become the current Head of the Family.
So even though Bao Sihan's mother has long since retired, traveling and shopping around the world, and living a carefree life, that was all exchanged for by her past efforts.
Moreover, since she lost her husband so early, being able to hold on until now is indeed not something to be looked down upon.
On this point, Gu Wenyan admired Bao Sihan's mother, but admiration is admiration; now her status is Mrs. Bao Sihan, and Bao Sihan's mother is her mother-in-law...
The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been a difficult problem throughout history; if her relationship with Bao Sihan's mother is not handled well, it will also affect Bao Sihan.
Gu Wenyan did not want Bao Sihan to feel caught in the middle...
Returning to this moment, Gu Wenyan greeted her very politely: "Mother."
Bao Sihan's mother was full of smiles when she saw Bao Sihan, but her gaze became very indifferent when it landed on Gu Wenyan's face; out of courtesy, she nodded slightly but said nothing, only turning to look at Bao Sihan: "Let's go, let's go home first."
Bao Sihan held Gu Wenyan's hand and said to his mother: "You haven't formally met Wen Yan before, have you?"
"I haven't formally met her before; we'll talk after we get home... I'm tired today."
Bao Sihan's mother used this attitude to let Gu Wenyan know that she was not very satisfied with her.
Bao Sihan frowned and was just about to say something, but Gu Wenyan tugged on his hand; she didn't need to be anxious now, as many things could be solved slowly.
Although his mother had many prejudices against her, since she had returned, Gu Wenyan had plenty of ways to make her change her attitude toward her.
Gu Wenyan also followed them back to the Bo Family, ate a meal, and was about to return to the Gu Family.
Bao Sihan saw Gu Wenyan out and looked at her with a deep gaze: "I will communicate with my mother."
"It's okay, Mother doesn't understand me yet; once she understands me, she won't have these attitudes anymore. You should go back quickly."
Gu Wenyan said: "She just returned, you should spend more time with her."
Bao Sihan was reluctant and pressed a kiss to Gu Wenyan's forehead: "I won't let you feel caught in the middle."
"I know."
Gu Wenyan had always believed in his promises.
After Gu Wenyan left, Bao Sihan returned to the Bo Family Mansion; his mother looked at him, her expression no longer as cold and arrogant as it was toward Gu Wenyan, but with a bit of dissatisfaction: "You still married Gu Wenyan after all."
"I already told you about this point; it will not change."
Bao Sihan's mother hummed: "You made a wrong decision."
