She stood up and said to the old man: "Old man, my Jingzhou is a man with a strong sense of career. In my opinion, career is more important than women. How can a successful man be bound by family?"

She turned her head and looked at Bo Jingzhou: "Jingzhou, you go back first. The company's business is more important. When Yutang comes back, we will talk to her properly. Women, after all, need to understand things."

Mrs. Bo's words instantly made the atmosphere in the ward solemn.

The old man's face darkened.

Madam Su had long been dissatisfied with Madam Bo's attitude. Upon hearing this, she said, "Madam Bo, what are you talking about? My daughter has always been well-behaved and sensible, but how come you make her feel like a shackle? Besides, even if a man is successful in his career, if he doesn't have a sense of family responsibility and can't even take care of his wife and children, what's the point?"

"Mrs. Su, you can't say that. Jingzhou has his own ideals and pursuits. He is a real man. How can he give up his career for his family? Besides, if your daughter is really that good and perfect, she should understand Jingzhou, right?" Mrs. Bo's tone became sharp, and she did not hide her dissatisfaction with Su Yutang.

Madam Su sneered and retorted, "Madam Bo, I've heard a long time ago that when Madam Bo and Mr. Bo first got married, they spent a year and hundreds of millions of assets on a long honeymoon. The story was a huge sensation at the time, and everyone in the capital knew about it. Even the newspapers wrote about it. Mr. Bo and Madam Bo were newlyweds, and for Madam Bo's sake, Mr. Bo didn't set foot in the company for a whole year. After the marriage, he went on strike every few days."

Madam Su sighed and continued, "It's a pity that Jingzhou took office at such a young age and shouldered the responsibility of reviving the family. Since Madam Bo is so magnanimous, why is she still restraining Mr. Bo?"

Mrs. Su's words were like sharp stones thrown at Mrs. Bo.

There was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, and she was obviously extremely dissatisfied with Mrs. Bo's words and actions.

The atmosphere in the ward suddenly became tense.

Mrs. Bo was speechless for a moment. She didn't expect Mrs. Su to suddenly bring up these old things.

Her face turned very ugly and anger surged in her heart.

But she was a person of status after all, and she couldn't lose her composure at this time. She tried to calm herself down and thought about how to respond to Mrs. Su's accusations.

After a moment, Mrs. Bo retorted, "That's because we wanted to train our son. If it weren't for my wise choices, how could my son have taken on such a big responsibility at such a young age and become so successful?"

Mrs. Su smiled faintly, "Oh, so that's how it is. Mrs. Bo not only has a good husband, but also a good son. No wonder there are rumors that Mr. Bo is a doting wife-loving maniac. It seems that Mrs. Bo is the master of controlling her husband. But Mrs. Bo is so obsessed with family that she is hindering Mr. Bo from making achievements and achieving success. That's just your ignorance."

"You..." Madam Bo was so angry that her face flushed red. She pointed at Madam Su and said, "Don't go too far! It's not your turn to dictate our family affairs."

Madam Su was no pushover either. She straightened her back and responded, "Yes, Madam Su, I have no right to interfere in your family affairs. So, it's certainly not your turn to dictate what happens to Jingzhou and Yutang, right?"

"I......"

"Yutang and Jingzhou are together because they were arranged as a child by the two elders. Yutang is a good child, and she and Jingzhou are a match made in heaven. As an elder, shouldn't you support them?"

Mrs. Bo gritted her teeth and said, "How am I not supporting them?"

Madam Su chuckled and said, "If I remember correctly, this is the first time our in-laws have met since Yutang and Jingzhou got married. I don't see that you support them at all. Madam Bo, you can't affect the children's happiness because of your own opinion."

Madam Bo angrily said, "Oh, you know the status of my Bo family. It's fine if you don't come to visit me, but do you really want me to come to your house to please you?"

Just as the two were arguing, the old man finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He slapped the edge of the bed vigorously and said, "That's enough! Stop arguing!"

The old man's voice was weak but full of authority.

When the two heard what the old man said, they shut up and didn't dare to continue arguing.

Seeing that the quarrel was about to cause trouble, Bo Sitian hurried forward to hold Mrs. Bo, signaling her not to be impulsive.

But Mrs. Bo was already furious and didn't want to admit defeat. "What? Did I say something wrong?"

Bo Jingzhou stood aside, watching his mother quarreling, feeling very impatient.

"Mom, please stop talking. Madam Su is right. Career is important, but family is equally important. Before asking others to be sensible, look at yourself first!"

Mrs. Bo heard what her son said and her eyes widened: "Son, you don't help your mother and speak for her..."

Bo Jingzhou ignored his mother's unreasonableness and looked at the old man and said, "Grandpa, I was wrong. I will balance the relationship between career and family and will not let either side be affected. I will handle my own affairs and will not listen to anyone."

The old man looked at Bo Jingzhou with a gratified smile on his face.

He knew he was not wrong about the person.

"Jingzhou, that's exactly what Grandpa meant. Career and family are equally important, but you have to remember that family is your eternal backing. No matter what difficulties you encounter outside, your family will support you. So, you must cherish your family and don't ignore your loved ones' feelings because of work."

Bo Jingzhou nodded and said, "Thank you for your teachings, Grandpa. I understand."

The old man smiled with satisfaction. He felt that he had said everything that needed to be said and there was no need to remind him anymore.

"Jingzhou, since the company has something to do, you should go and do it first."

Bo Jingzhou hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, when I'm done with my work, I'll come see you with Yutang."

After saying that, Bo Jingzhou turned and left the ward.

After Bo Jingzhou left, Bo Sitian also took Mrs. Bo away.

Walking out of the ward, Mrs. Bo was unhappy. She felt that her husband and son had gone too far. They were so disloyal that no one spoke up for her.

She said to Bo Sitian, "Why did you stop me? I just want the Su family to know that our Jingzhou family cannot be bound by family or Su Yutang."

Bo Sitian said helplessly: "Don't be so impulsive. The old man is right. Family is indeed more important than work. We can't just consider Jingzhou's career, we also have to consider his family happiness."

Mrs. Bo was even more dissatisfied after hearing this. She retorted, "Family happiness? What kind of happiness can Su Yutang bring to Jingzhou? She is unwilling to continue the Bo family's lineage, and she acts like a spoiled brat. We should let Jingzhou divorce her as soon as possible."
