Su Lu’s body stiffened.

Su Yukang tactfully said, “My eldest daughter is getting older.”

“I don’t have good taste, so I prefer older ones,” Bo Jingshen said.

The experienced bunch present all smiled and tried to ease the tension. “President Bo, please don’t tease Little Lu. She’s a serious person.”

“Is that so? A serious person…” Bo Jingshen squinted at her, seemingly mocking.

Su Lu felt uncomfortable and couldn’t stay any longer.

His words, his smile, his gaze, everything felt like cold steel.

And the cruel punishment in the washroom yesterday…

Su Lu raised her cup and stood up. “I’m not feeling well today, so I’ll take my leave. As a self-punishment, I will drink three cups. Please be understanding.”

She thought about how she had vomited so much yesterday.

Bo Jingshen said calmly, “Since you’re not feeling well, don’t waste good wine.”

Su Yukang was displeased that she wanted to leave first, but he couldn’t react in front of everyone. He simply said, “If you’re unwell, it’s better to go back and rest.”

President Liu kindly stood up. “Let me escort Little Lu downstairs.”

Su Lu just wanted to leave quickly and hastily walked out of the private room.

As soon as she left, Su Yukang furrowed his brow. “The older she gets, the more she lacks sensibility.”

Bo Jingshen gave him a cold glance, then got up and went outside to make a call.

He walked outside and he lit a cigarette and dialed a number.

“It’s me.”

“Aren’t you at a dinner party?” Jiang Li laughed heartily on the other end of the phone.

Bo Jingshen spoke calmly, “Isn’t Feng City your territory? Help me investigate someone.”

Bo Jingshen had just returned to the country. His team was still handing over work at Bosheng’s overseas headquarters, so he hadn’t spread out his manpower yet.

Jiang Li had met Bo Jingshen overseas and had a close friendship with him. He was also a local from Feng City, so it was nothing for him to investigate someone.

Jiang Li chuckled, “Sure thing. If you ask, I can investigate a whole group of people for you, let alone just one.”

Bo Jingshen paused for a moment and said, “Oh, then investigate Su Yukang and his group.”

“Oh, this group of people selling their children.” Jiang Li immediately showed disdain for Su Yukang.

Bo Jingshen furrowed his brow. “What do you mean? Explain in detail.”

“Arranged marriages are not uncommon in our circle, but the Su family’s approach is particularly unseemly. I’ve heard that besides their eldest son, Su Zhe, the rest of the children were arranged marriages by Su Yukang.”

Jiang Li clicked his tongue a few times. “You don’t have Su Yukang at your dinner party today, do you?”

Jiang Li teased, “Could it be that he wants to introduce his youngest daughter to you?”

Bo Jingshen was speechless.

“I knew it.” Jiang Li sneered.

“Do you still remember Su Lu from yesterday’s cocktail party? She and Gu Xin are connected by marriage. They seemed like a model couple over the past few years, and I thought they had some genuine feelings. But now it seems like they are just a superficial couple.”

Jiang Li was unaware of Bo Jingshen and Su Lu’s history, so he spoke straightforwardly.

“Su Yukang arranged a marriage alliance between his eldest daughter, Su Lu, and the Gu family. The two families have been closely connected for the past few years and have made a fortune through their collaboration on several projects. Su Yukang tasted success, and since your company, Bosheng has a strong reputation abroad, he now has his eyes on you for entering the domestic market.”

Jiang Li chuckled as he continued, “Before you returned to the country, he wanted to arrange it for me a few times. Now it’s your turn. Your return has come as a relief for us, my friend.”

However, Bo Jingshen didn’t smile. He wasn’t someone who couldn’t take a joke, but he couldn’t even force a smile at this moment.

“You say…” Bo Jingshen’s eyes were very dark, and the viciousness in his eyes churned. He said in a low voice,” Sell?”

“Tsk, well, it’s just something like that,” Jiang Li replied dismissively.

That night, Su Yukang got extremely drunk and left in a sorry state.

Su Lu didn’t know about this. She had been wearing a scarf to cover the hickeys on her neck for the past few days. Fortunately, they were gradually fading away.

At noon that day, Gu Xin came to the company to take her out for lunch.

Gu Xin smiled and said, “Regardless of whether it’s a farewell dinner or any other kind of meal, we should celebrate, right?”

Su Lu also smiled, “Don’t be so sentimental about a farewell dinner. Let’s just celebrate your marriage with Chen Yaxi.”

Gu Xin seemed a bit hesitant. “She… she’s pregnant.”

Su Lu responded, “That’s double happiness.”

Gu Xin let out a soft sigh. “But after our divorce became public, she got pregnant again. I’m worried that the rumors outside will affect you…”

Su Lu smiled and reassured him, “It’s alright, I don’t mind.

Therefore, as long as a woman didn’t give up her feelings, she could live very rationally in a relationship, even if it was a marriage relationship.

In the car, Chen Yaxi looked at Su Lu’s scarf-covered neck thoughtfully and smiled with a deeper meaning. “Su Lu, I’ve been wanting to ask since we were at the Civil Affairs Bureau. Is there something going on?”

Su Lu coughed lightly, avoiding a direct answer.

Su Lu only felt that her chaotic encounter with Bo Jingshen couldn’t be categorized as a significant situation. At most, it could be considered an accident.

They went to a high-end restaurant not far from Su Lu’s company and sat down at a booth by the floor-to-ceiling window along the street.

They had a very enjoyable meal.

Chen Yaxi got up and said, “I’ll go to the restroom. You guys can talk first.”

Su Lu and Gu Xin chatted about the project they were currently working on together and had a delightful conversation.

A dark-colored luxury car passed by on the road outside the window.

Bo Jingshen, sitting in the back seat, looked at Su Lu and Gu Xin sitting by the window in the restaurant.

Sunlight poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting its rays on the two of them. They were talking and laughing, appearing like an ideal couple.

Suddenly, Bo Jingshen’s gaze turned cold.

“If you’re unhappy, then fine. I’ll find another office building for you. Why gets angry?” Jiang Li, sitting next to him, sensed Bo Jingshen’s low mood.

He wondered if something he said had offended him.

After a moment of consideration, Jiang Li obediently took out a file from the storage compartment in the car and handed it to Bo Jingshen, saying, “Here, it’s the information on the group you asked me to investigate a few days ago.”

“Hmm?” Bo Jingshen realized that Jiang Li was referring to Su Yukang’s group.

The file contained information about the Su Yukang family, though not very detailed, it covered the basic information.

Bo Jingshen quickly flipped through several other documents and paused at Su Lu’s picture.

He saw the location of Su Lu’s company, Mingyang Avenue.

Jiang Li had been helping him find an office building in recent days, and at this moment, he was still babbling away by his side.

Suddenly, Bo Jingshen said, “Mingyang Avenue.”

“Hmm? What about Mingyang Avenue?” Jiang Li was confused.

“Help me find an office building on Mingyang Avenue.”

Bo Jingshen’s statement drove Jiang Li, the second young master Jiang, to the brink of madness.

“What! I’ll find a good building for you now. It’s in the best location in the central business district! It’s not like you lack the money. Why go to Mingyang Avenue? Are you trying to save money?”

Bo Jingshen raised an eyebrow. “Maybe the view is good.”

Jiang Li muttered under his breath, unsure whether to speak or not, but he was certain that Bo Jingshen had gone mad.

In fact, Bo Jingshen also felt that he must have gone mad.

In the afternoon, when he accompanied Jiang Li to the hospital to pick up some medication, Bo Jingshen saw Gu Xin again.

He watched as Gu Xin gently held a woman’s hand and headed toward the obstetrics department.

This man, who had been chatting and laughing with Su Lu in the restaurant not long ago, was now taking another woman to the obstetrics department for a prenatal check-up.

Did Su Lu abandon him just to marry a man like this? To live such a ludicrous life?

An inexplicable anger surged through his entire being, from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
