"Sitian..." Lady Chu stepped forward and tried to grab his hand, but Bo Sitian dodged her by moving sideways.

The watch on his cuff brushed against her fingertips, and the cold metal touch made her retract her hand. He said coldly: "Our relationship is not that close yet."

Lady Chu's hand froze in mid-air.

Bo Sitian said calmly, "I'll give you a chance to explain."

Beauty Chu's fingers turned white. She opened her mouth, but only uttered three words: "I'm sorry."

"Are you admitting it?" Bo Sitian frowned and said, "You admit that you stole the secret map of the mechanical device for Xiao Hengyu, and that you admit that getting close to me was also a scheme?"

He recalled the surveillance footage of her skillfully unlocking the door, and the glass of poisoned milk last night, and a bitter taste welled up in his throat.

"Sorry……"

Miss Chu said sorry again. Apart from these three words, all her excuses seemed pale.

"I didn't want to steal, but it was Ayu who suggested it... I owe him so much, so I'll just do it for the last time."

Bo Sitian laughed: "So you can deceive me and harm the interests of the Bo family? Have you ever thought about what would happen if Xiao Hengyu got the treasure?"

"Ayu promised me that he would not harm the Bo family after he got the treasure." Chu Meiren argued anxiously, "I believe him!"

"Why do you believe it?" Bo Sitian asked.

Miss Chu was stunned and speechless for a moment.

Bo Sitian added, "That secret map is fake."

"What?" Lady Chu's pupils suddenly shrank.

Bo Sitian did not hide it: "What you helped him steal was just a piece of waste paper, but Miss Chu, let's stop here..."

He paused, then added: "I will send you abroad, and you can spend the rest of your time in peace. However, we will never meet again."

After saying that, Bo Sitian turned and left.

"Si Tian..." Lady Chu rushed forward, but only caught the wind he brought with him when he left.

Bo Sitian's pace was very fast. She wanted to catch up with him, but because of her weak body, she soon became powerless. Watching Bo Sitian's cold and resolute back disappear in the cemetery, Chu Meiren fell to the ground, her clothes soaked with tears.

......

The old house of the Bo family.

When Old Master Bo saw that Bo Sitian had returned alone without Lady Chu, he couldn't help but ask, "Did you send her away?"

"Well, she won't come again."

"You've done something humane." The old man snorted coldly. "Although I don't like Yulan's temper, you are husband and wife after all. Bringing another woman home before you're divorced is ridiculous. If outsiders knew about this, who knows how they would frame the Bo family."

The old man coughed twice, his eyes still sharp, "Since she's been sent away, find time to bring Yulan back and live a good life, so that this house won't feel like home anymore, do you understand?"

Bo Sitian hummed, "I understand, Dad."

The old man shook his head and turned away.

Mrs. Bo secretly paid attention to Bo Sitian and everything about the Bo family's old house every day, so she naturally knew that Miss Chu had moved out of the Bo family.

At this moment, she was sitting at the dressing table in her mother's villa. The servant had just finished reporting on the recent situation in the Bo family's old house. Her angry face was reflected in the mirror: "Miss Chu has moved out? Bo Sitian is going to send her abroad?"

"Yes, ma'am." The servant lowered her eyes and said, "My husband bought her a house in a small town in Australia and even provided her with servants..."

"Hidden away abroad?" Madam Bo sneered, "Are you planning to live together forever?"

The servant whispered, "I don't know whether they lived together or not, but that's indeed what the master arranged..."

Mrs. Bo clenched her fingers, feeling a strong sense of depression in her chest.

After a while, she closed her eyes and said, "Forget it. I don't want to hear about those two anymore, and I don't want to hear anything about that vixen. Go away, and don't report to me anymore!"

"But ma'am, the gentleman..."

"I told you to get out! Didn't you hear me?" Mrs. Bo suddenly got angry. Once she heard about them, she couldn't control her inner anger.

The servant was so frightened that he shrank his neck and quickly retreated in the face of Mrs. Bo's anger.

Mrs. Bo's distorted face was reflected in the dressing mirror. The teeth of the sandalwood comb had carved deep marks on her palm, and drops of blood were dripping down.

When the call was connected, a voice came from the receiver: "Mrs. Bo, do you want to talk to me about something?"

Madam Bo wiped the blood from her palm and said in a voice as cold as ice: "I want you to do something for me..."

She stared at her face in the mirror, remembering the scene of Bo Sitian and Chu Meiren flying together. The hatred in her heart could no longer be suppressed and spread. "She will never be able to board that plane."

......

The next morning, a thin mist covered the Bo family's old house.

Lady Chu stood at the entrance, dragging her suitcase. She looked at Bo Sitian's upright figure, tears in her eyes. "Sitian, can't you really let me stay? Even if I don't live in the Bo family, I want to stay in the imperial capital. I can go back to the hospital, or anywhere else."

Bo Sitian put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "No, you know my temper."

"Actually, when I chose to marry Yulan, I never looked back. I really did let you down, and I've felt guilty all these years."

Beauty Chu's crying stopped abruptly, tears hanging on her eyelashes: "Guilt?"

Bo Sitian continued, "That's why after meeting you, I mistook guilt for regret. I also did a lot of foolish things and didn't handle our relationship well. It's all my fault. Now that we've each started our own families, we really should keep our distance and not meet. Even if we're innocent, it will still cause misunderstandings in the eyes of others."

Lady Chu lowered her head and covered her red eyes: "Okay, Sitian... Thank you for taking care of me during this time."

She raised her red eyes and said, "I have one last request. Can you take me to the airport?"

Bo Sitian hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed: "Okay."

The car was driving through the morning mist. It was drizzling and the wipers were sweeping across the windshield rhythmically.

Lady Chu wanted to speak several times, but her gaze always looked away hastily when it met his cold profile.

"Sitian." She finally broke the silence, her voice soft as if afraid to disturb anything. "I know I was wrong. I'm sorry... I shouldn't have had such evil intentions to steal the secret map from the beginning. In fact, when I heard you say it was fake, I felt relieved."

Bo Sitian frowned, his voice deliberately distant: "Now that it's done, don't mention it again. No matter what you say, I won't agree to let you stay."

Lady Chu hurriedly explained, "I'm telling you this not to stay. Since you want me to leave, I will definitely leave. I told you this just to let you know... I regret it, I really regret it. I was only thinking about helping A Yu at the time and didn't consider you at all. I was so selfish..."
