Chapter 332: Chapter 332 Family (6)
She was not content.
Although she had never been as dazzling as Xia Siyu, she was top-notch in every aspect—looks, talent, family background, personality. Yet, she had hit a wall when it came to Bo Yan.
The only consolation was that Bo Yan was indifferent not only to her but to all women, especially that Wu Di. With her, he was slightly better, but she did not know if this slight favor was because she was the daughter of the Xia Family or because she knew her boundaries, at least not pestering him like Wu Di did.
Later, when Bo Yan joined the entertainment circle against his family’s wishes, Bo Yi pursued her. Assessing the situation, she chose Bo Yi.
She thought she had made the right decision, only to find out that Bo Yan had registered for marriage with Xia Siyu.
Xia Sicai could not believe her ears when she heard the news! Of course, she knew that the marriage between Bo Yan and Xia Siyu was arranged by their families. The family had always favored her and Bo Yan, but when she chose Bo Yi, the Xia Family felt they owed Bo Yan and so they introduced Xia Siyu to him.
The two of them should have been strangers just meeting to get married, clearly lacking in affection. Over the following three years, she and Bo Yi, Xia Siyu and Bo Yan, both couples exemplified the term “in name only.”
At this year’s New Year’s reunion banquet, the two of them still gave each other the cold shoulder. Just a few months later, Bo Yan and Xia Siyu were close.
Xia Sicai paid close attention to the relationship between Bo Yan and Xia Siyu, driven not merely by jealousy but also by deeper considerations. Although Bosch Corporation was doing well, they occasionally still needed Bo Yan’s influence. One Bo Yan they could handle, but add Xia Siyu to the mix?
No matter what her reputation, Xia Siyu was a top star, indisputably so, ranking among the top five money makers in Forbes’s artist list for six consecutive years, the advertising queen beloved by countless brands. A single film could bring in tens of millions, a variety show ten million, a product endorsement tens of millions.
Together with Bo Yan’s considerable influence, charisma, and money-making power. Now they were just artists, but if they were to start their own studio or invest in a film company and take dividends, their net worth could rocket to billions overnight.
An artist’s career can’t last a lifetime, but Bosch Corporation can last forever. When the time comes, will the old man still hand over the company to Bo Yi?
While Xia Sicai had her considerations, Xia Youbiao was beaming with pride. Among his three children, only Xia Siyu was the most troublesome and his greatest concern. She was too beautiful and too straightforward, making him always worry about someone targeting her in the entertainment industry. Bo Yan would be a good place for her, but since there had been no spark between them, he had been anxious.
But now there was no need to worry. The most critical aspect of a harmonious marriage is a healthy sex life.
Xia Youbiao was relieved that her relationship with Bo Yan had improved on the one hand, but on the other, he was annoyed that his precious daughter was taken by a boor. Even if the boor was somewhat handsome, he was still a boor…
“If he doesn’t treat you well, feel free to deal with him!”
“Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll hit him.” She had slapped him today and thrown numerous punches, most importantly, a swift kick to his “parts.”
Xia Youbiao was still looking at Xia Siyu, as he needed her to unblock him from the blacklist on her WeChat before he felt satisfied. It was a tale of tears—Xia Youbiao had been blacklisted by his own dear daughter for nearly half a year, now having to beg her to lift it.
After the conversation ended, the banquet was about to begin, and a knock came at the door, “Ready yet? My dear wife.”
