Chapter 151 When did you start to have doubts?
Bo Shicheng's mother found it hard to accept that she had risked everything to give her heart, only to have her husband cheat on her.
They argued and made a scene, but Mr. Bo always gave it the cold shoulder.
The once gentle and quiet woman gradually transformed into a madwoman whom no one could understand. She rushed up to Old Master Bo and made a scene with him, shouting herself hoarse.
She didn't understand why Old Master Bo treated her this way. She had given everything for this family, but in the end, this was the result she got.
But Mr. Bo's answer to her was: I have never been truly in love with any woman, whether it is my wife or my lover.
All the vows they once made have vanished like bubbles, and the woman's heart has shattered into countless pieces, scattered all over the ground.
However, Old Master Bo was clearly too confident. He looked down on women, as if they were insignificant in his eyes.
Therefore, she naturally assumed that women couldn't come up with any tricks, and he arrogantly thought that everything was under his control.
He never expected that his wife would tell him this in a moment of collapse.
"Don't be so confident. Actually, I deliberately approached you!"
These words struck Bo Xilai like a thunderclap.
The wife's eyes no longer held the gentleness and fragility of the past; instead, they were filled with determination and resentment.
What she said, her voice hoarse with emotion, didn't sound like a lie at all.
Old Master Bo finally realized something was wrong, and his keen intuition immediately led him to suspect Bo Yuntian.
He immediately set about investigating Bo Yuntian, mobilizing resources from all sides to find out what Bo Yuntian was up to.
However, it was all too late.
By then, Bo Yuntian had already gained powerful backing and successfully entered the political arena.
His power and influence are growing, and his foundation is becoming more stable. Although he is not yet able to compete with Old Master Bo in terms of strength, Old Master Bo cannot easily shake the power behind Bo Yuntian.
An undercurrent within the family, which had been overlooked for many years, was quietly brewing without the knowledge of Old Master Bo.
It was at that time that Bo Shicheng's mother realized that while she was immersed in love, a conspiracy had already quietly unfolded.
Bo Yuntian had long ago used her to distract Old Master Bo. While Old Master Bo was preoccupied with household matters, Bo Yuntian meticulously planned behind the scenes, paving the way for his own future step by step, and taking the opportunity to rise to a higher level.
Bo Shicheng was already old enough to remember things then, and he could vaguely recall his mother's expression at the time.
She stared out the window, her eyes vacant, tears silently streaming down her face.
She probably hated her own ignorance and naivety, that she had become a pawn in someone else's game.
She hated that her beautiful fantasies about love had all vanished, hated that her fate had been unknowingly controlled by others, hated that the man she deeply loved had lied to her, and hated even more that he couldn't keep lying forever.
Bo Shicheng's mother suffered an emotional breakdown; her world collapsed, and the pain and despair drove her completely insane.
The once gentle and beautiful mother in Bo Shicheng's eyes has become insane and deranged, smashing things in her room every day and talking nonsense.
Not long after, she was imprisoned by Old Master Bo. At first, she was locked in her room, and later she was locked in the basement.
For this woman who had loved him, borne him a child, and ultimately went insane from the shock, Old Master Bo showed no pity whatsoever. Instead, he frequently abused her, venting all his anger towards Bo Yuntian on her.
After prolonged suffering, Bo Shicheng's mother's health deteriorated, and she fell seriously ill.
She lay in a dark, damp room, unattended and not allowed to see a doctor.
So not long after she fell ill, she left this world with a heart full of resentment.
Bo Shicheng finished his narration, and looked at Lin Qingran with a sorrowful gaze.
“From that moment on, I vowed to leave the Bo family.”
Lin Qingran looked at Bo Shicheng with a hint of pity in her eyes.
"But leaving the Bo family is not an easy thing."
Bo Shicheng nodded with a wry smile, "Perhaps because of the betrayal by a woman, my father wanted to prove something even more, so he had a strong desire to control me, his son."
At this point, Bo Shicheng took a deep breath.
"He wanted to have me firmly under his control and make me live according to his wishes."
Bo Shicheng lived his entire life under the protection of his grandfather, seemingly being carefully protected like a fragile porcelain doll.
To outsiders, he enjoyed all the luxuries and was deeply loved.
Only Bo Shicheng himself knew that this so-called care was actually an invisible shackle.
That excessive protection is not out of genuine care, but rather a form of selfish control.
He enjoyed all the resources of the Bo family, and others envied his privileged life, but he was filled with bitterness in his heart.
Because no matter how outstanding Bo Shicheng was, all the skills he possessed were useless to him.
Those so-called resources tilted towards him were more like flashy decorations to him.
After Bo Shicheng joined the Bo Group, he faced even greater difficulties under the deliberate guidance of Bo Shicheng's father.
Every time he tried to cultivate his own confidants, Old Master Bo would secretly sabotage it.
Looking around, there wasn't a single wealthy person's child, not even a close associate.
But Bo Shicheng just happened to become that monster.
To outsiders, his abilities are enough to rival those of his elder sister, Bo Yuwei, and many even speculate that he might be the future heir to the Bo Group.
But the fact is just the opposite.
Bo Shicheng frowned, his face full of self-deprecating expression.
He muttered to himself, "Only I know the truth: I simply don't have that ability."
His eyes were dull and lifeless, filled with deep confusion.
“I have always lived in the shadow of the old man. I seem to have everything, but in reality I have nothing. Those so-called abilities are just a superficial illusion.”
Bo Shicheng took a deep breath and continued.
"To outsiders, the competition between my siblings and me would seem like a thrilling battle for succession, but only I know that I'm just a puppet on a string, being manipulated by others."
He clenched his fists, his body trembling slightly, his inner pain beyond words.
After listening to what Bo Shicheng had to say, Lin Qingran felt a heavy weight in her heart.
Every family has its own troubles, and everyone's hardships are laid bare, making comparisons impossible.
Because the degree of pain is incomparable.
The two sat there quietly for a long time.
Lin Qingran finally broke the silence, asking Bo Shicheng in a soft voice.
"When did you start to doubt that you weren't Old Master Bo's child?"
