Chapter Forty-Five
The seaside evening was beautiful. Bo Chi and Yu Zhao bought takoyaki, strolled barefoot on the soft sand, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the waves crashing against the reefs, splashing water several feet high.
Bo Chi hadn’t relaxed like this for a long time, and her mood was visibly happy. Although it was Yu Zhao’s first time playing at the seaside, most of her focus was on Bo Chi. Seeing her having fun, she unconsciously curled her lips.
They were both beautiful, and standing together was simply a double dose of beauty, so after playing for a while, they rejected many men and women who came to strike up a conversation.
Yu Zhao returned to her senses from her sister-focused state, saw that Bo Chi had almost finished the snacks she bought, and said: “Should we go back and buy some more?”
Bo Chi took a bite of the fish ball and nodded happily: “Buy some to take back for Mom, but she seems to have been staying in the hotel and hasn’t come out, is she sleeping?”
Yu Zhao said calmly: “I don’t know, let’s buy some first. If Mom doesn’t eat it, I’ll take care of these snacks.”
Bo Chi blinked, a sly look flashing in her eyes, and handed the remaining whole fish ball to Yu Zhao’s lips, saying pitifully: “Why don’t you help me take care of this first? I can’t eat anymore…”
Yu Zhao obediently lowered her head and ate the fish ball from her hand.
“Is it delicious?” Bo Chi stared at the sweet wine in her bowl, her foodie’s scheming undisguised: “You’ve already eaten my little fish ball, I want to try your sweet wine too!”
Yu Zhao raised her eyebrows and scooped a spoonful without hesitation.
Bo Chi swallowed it in one gulp, her big, round almond eyes narrowing in satisfaction.
Yu Zhao’s eyes darkened slightly as she stared at her, and she said hoarsely and seductively: “You said your teeth hurt two days ago, you’re not allowed to eat too much sweet wine today, just this one bite.”
Bo Chi immediately wilted, and licked the spoon clean with great care.
After licking it clean, she exclaimed, and said belatedly: “It seems like you just used this spoon?”
Yu Zhao’s face was innocent: “Really? I didn’t notice.”
As she spoke, she scooped a spoonful of sweet wine and tasted it, and said with a low smile: “Yes, it’s very sweet.”
Bo Chi: “…”
She suspected that Yu Zhao had a hidden meaning, was hinting at something, and was flirting seriously.
Since Yu Zhao was too cunning and didn’t admit it at all, Bo Chi’s suspicion was eventually thrown to the back of her mind.
People with big hearts always had the memory of a fish, seven seconds. Bo Chi was no exception. After waking up from a sleep, she forgot most of what happened last night, and was completely focused on the cruise ship.
The Xiang family came to the hotel early in the morning and invited them to have breakfast on the cruise ship.
Bo Chi and the others were now sitting at the dining table, facing Xiang Jin.
Xiang Jin was an exceptionally handsome man, lacking the typical spoiled heir demeanor often seen in wealthy second-generation elites. He greeted them with polite courtesy and introduced himself, wearing a perfectly diplomatic smile.
Bo Chi also returned a fake smile, and seeing Mother Bo chatting with him, she excitedly started to eat breakfast.
After all, she knew that this breakfast was destined to be unusual.
Just like in the plot, after Xiang Jin talked to Mother Bo for a while, he stood up and walked to the side of the ship, and began to introduce his planning policy for Crescent Island for the next few decades. When he confidently wanted to persuade the Bo family to participate, the running cruise ship suddenly shook, as if it had hit something.
Fortunately, the cruise ship was strong enough, and after a while, it returned to calm.
However, the screams that followed immediately interrupted Bo Chi’s happy meal time.
“Xiang Jin! Where are the Xiang family? Xiang Jin fell into the water!” Mother Bo watched Xiang Jin fall into the water with a plop, and after the shock, she hurriedly called out to the other people on the cruise ship.
Even Yu Zhao walked to the side of the ship with a puzzled look, wanting to see if Xiang Jin had really fallen.
Only Bo Chi put down her chopsticks reluctantly, took out her phone and said: “Don’t panic, I’ll call the police!”
Mother Bo was afraid that Yu Zhao would also fall into the water, and pulled Yu Zhao back. Hearing Bo Chi’s words, she said anxiously: “There are no police officers on Crescent Island, it’s better to call the Xiang family and ask them to send someone over to search and rescue!”
Bo Chi: “Don’t panic, I brought a group of police officers.”
Mother Bo and Yu Zhao were both stunned: “What did you say? You brought a group of what?”
Bo Chi said calmly: “Police officers.”
Mother Bo was stunned: “What police officers?”
Bo Chi: “A group of police officers, a group of strong, righteous police officers who are good at butterfly, breaststroke, and freestyle.”
Mother Bo: “…Why did you bring these people to a blind date?!”
Bo Chi waved her hand: “I’ll talk about this later, I’ll call them first and ask them to quickly rescue him.”
In fact, considering that the male lead in the plot fell in love with the person who saved him, Bo Chi had already been thinking about who should save him.
Anyway, she would definitely not let Yu Zhao go. Not to mention anything else, if Yu Zhao went into the water, what if she caught a cold? She would feel distressed, okay!
After thinking about it, Bo Chi finally set her sights on the almighty police uncles.
She arranged for them to come to the island, and specially left them at the location where the male lead fell into the water, so that it would be convenient for them to search and rescue quickly.
After a phone call, before noon, the police officers sent news that they had found the person.
Bo Chi, Yu Zhao, and Xiang Jin’s assistant rushed over. After learning that Xiang Jin was only unconscious and not seriously injured, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
The blind date banquet was forced to end, and the group returned to the hotel. Only then did Mother Bo have the opportunity to continue asking about the previous doubts.
Bo Chi answered readily: “Crescent Island is a resort, and the Xiang family didn’t arrange for emergency rescue personnel here because the area is not big enough, and they want to make all the buildings profitable, but this behavior is obviously illegal. I think it’s not good for them to do this, so I reported it to the police under my real name. The police immediately arranged a group of police officers who can swim for me, and said thank you for my report, and that they would contact the Xiang family to give them a warning later, and then I brought them here.”
Mother Bo: “…Report?”
She was confused, and said in disbelief: “You reported the Xiang family, and then came to have a blind date with Xiang Jin?? Bo Chi, are you stupid!”
Bo Chi spread her hands: “Did I do something wrong?”
“Of course it’s wrong!” Mother Bo said angrily: “After you did this, how could Xiang Jin still marry you!”
Bo Chi shrugged: “If he doesn’t marry, he doesn’t marry. He’s not the only man in the world. Besides, he’s still lying in bed now. If it weren’t for the soldiers saving him, he would probably be shark food by now.”
Mother Bo was speechless, and had to admit that she was right.
Bo Chi immediately smiled and said: “Okay, now that Xiang Jin is down, let’s go and have fun!”
She happily took Yu Zhao’s hand and left, leaving the confused mother in the wind to ponder life.
After playing on the island for a few days, the news finally came that Xiang Jin, who was in a coma, had woken up.
Bo Chi was dragged by Mother Bo to visit him. When the door opened, she saw Xiang Jin holding a man’s hand, and said deeply: “Thank you for saving me, I will never forget your great kindness. Is there anything you want? I will definitely do my best to give it to you!”
Bo Chi: “Ew.”
Mother Bo: “…”
Yu Zhao: “Hmm…”
The man whose hand was being held looked over after hearing the movement, nodded to them, then looked at Xiang Jin again, and said with a hearty smile: “I want a police station, can you get me one?”
Xiang Jin was stunned: “Po, police what?”
“Police station.” The man patted his shoulder: “Our brothers were assigned to the island, and we just want a place to stay. We’ve received Mr. Xiang’s sincerity, so we’ll leave this matter to you!”
Xiang Jin: “…Oh, o, okay.”
Xiang Jin seemed to have suffered a great blow. Bo Chi and the others comforted him for a while, and seeing that he was absent-minded and in a trance, they left with pity.
At this point, there was no point in staying on the island any longer. Bo Chi, who protested, was taken home by Mother Bo, and helplessly told Father Bo about the trip.
After listening, Father Bo fell into a long silence, and finally wiped his face: “Forget it, as long as you’re happy.”
Both of them had indescribable expressions. Bo Chi was very unhappy, so she ran to Yu Zhao’s room to find Yu Zhao.
Yu Zhao was wiping the photo at this time. Seeing Bo Chi come in, she said softly: “I misunderstood before, the photo is still in my room, luckily I didn’t lose it.”
Bo Chi: “…Uh, yes, it’s good that you didn’t lose it.”
Yu Zhao smiled, her expression relaxed as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her heart, and she beckoned to Bo Chi: “Come here.”
Bo Chi obediently approached.
Yu Zhao gently stroked the old person in the photo, and said: “This is my grandmother. When I was young, no one took care of me, and she raised me single-handedly. To me, she is more important than my parents.”
Bo Chi held Yu Zhao’s hand and said obediently to the photo: “Hello, Grandma, I’m Yu Zhao’s older sister. You can rest assured and leave her to me, I will always be good to her!”
Yu Zhao was quiet for a moment, and suddenly asked: “How long is always?”
Bo Chi said firmly: “Forever.”
Yu Zhao looked down at her, curled her lips and smiled: “How old are you, to dare to say forever?”
Even she herself couldn’t guarantee that Bo Chi would always like her. Where did this arrogant and fickle eldest young lady get the confidence to say these words?
Bo Chi hummed: “I’m your older sister, no matter how young I am, I’m still older than you. If you don’t believe me, just wait and see. I said forever, and it will be forever!”
Yu Zhao put away the photo with a light smile, nodded and said: “Okay, I will watch you very seriously and attentively… and watch you like this for the rest of my life.”
Bo Chi nodded and smiled again. Just as she was about to continue talking to her, the phone suddenly rang.
Following the sound, Bo Chi found that it was Yu Zhao’s phone that was ringing, and the name displayed on the screen was Yu Hai – which was the name of Yu Zhao’s adoptive father and Bo Chi’s biological father.
When Bo Chi came to this world, Yu Zhao should have already moved to the Bo family. Logically speaking, the Yu Hai family had already been sent away by the Bo family with money, so why would they call Yu Zhao now?
Bo Chi was puzzled and asked Yu Zhao: “Should I answer it?”
Yu Zhao frowned and hung up the phone, and said indifferently: “Don’t worry about them, they probably lost another gamble and want to ask us for money.”
In the original work, the Yu family deliberately switched the two families’ children, wanting their daughter to enjoy the treatment of a princess in the Bo family, but they were very harsh to the Bo family’s child. They not only gave all the good things to their son, but even wanted to sell Yu Zhao, who had just become an adult, to someone else as a wife.
It was Yu Zhao’s grandmother who desperately protected Yu Zhao, which prevented the Yu family’s parents from succeeding, and also allowed Yu Zhao to finally wait for her biological parents.
Father and Mother Bo hated the Yu family’s behavior very much, so they didn’t intend to let go of either daughter. After forcing the Yu family to give up Yu Zhao with half money and half threats, they began to plan to change Yu Zhao’s surname.
Yu Zhao didn’t like the Yu family, but her grandmother was her most important relative. After her grandmother died, in order to keep the only connection between them, she insisted on not changing her surname.
And this might have given the Yu family hope, making that shameless family think that Yu Zhao still missed them, so they called from time to time to ask for money.
“I’ve already seen through them, so I haven’t paid attention to them during this time.” Yu Zhao frowned and said: “If they still don’t give up, I will personally teach them a lesson.”
Bo Chi still had some doubts, but out of respect for Yu Zhao’s thoughts, she still nodded: “Okay.”
After this matter was over, Bo Chi forgot about the Yu family.
Besides the people who loved and cared about her, Bo Chi was always too lazy to remember these irrelevant outsiders.
However, a few days later, the Yu family found a way to get in front of her, and without saying a word, they knelt down with a thud, and raised their hands to hug her legs.
Bo Chi was startled by them, and jumped away reflexively, not being entangled by them.
The Yu family’s parents didn’t care, and wiped their tears and cried: “My good girl, I’m your dad!”
Bo Chi didn’t remember who they were, and when she heard this, she said angrily: “Get lost! I’m your great-aunt!“
