Ye Anran, although unaware of why Old Master Bo had summoned her, had an instinctual feeling that it was not for anything good.
Recalling every unpleasant private encounter, she braced herself to adapt to whatever may come.
After pondering, she still decided not to call Uncle Bo. Even though a call at this moment would certainly bring him to her aid, it would ultimately strain Uncle Bo's relationship with Elder Bo and make her own situation more awkward.
Upon entering the old mansion, the old steward led her directly to a side hall.
Elder Bo sat there alone, with a chessboard in front of him as he played both sides of the game.
She approached him and softly called out, "Mr. Bo."
"How impolite! Don't you know not to disturb someone while they're playing chess?" Elder Bo's voice boomed like a bell, bellowing loudly.
Ye Anran's face slightly changed, yet she bit her lip and softly said, "I'm sorry, I will be sure to be mindful next time."
