“You must be kidding!” Jiang Li’s expression also cracked when he heard Su Jiao’s name.

“You’re going back on your word just like that?” Bo Jingshen asked, “You mentioned you were willing to face any risk for me, didn’t you?”

“Can’t you change something else to make me risk any danger? Why does it have to be Su Jiao?” Jiang Li cried out.

Su Lu blinked at the side. She had the same thought. Why did it have to be Su Jiao?

And… How did Su Jiao find this place?

She had rejected all of Su Jiao’s calls, and it sounded like Bo Jingshen had already expected and arranged everything in advance. What had she missed?

“Because if you don’t handle this, then I’ll have to do it,” Bo Jingshen said firmly, “I’m not willing to do that.”

Jiang Li was speechless.

Jiang Li was on the verge of depression. When he thought that Su Yukang wanted to send Su Jiao to Bo Jingshen, he thought that Bo Jingshen was here to help him solve his problems. After all, before Bo Jingshen returned to the country, Su Yukang had always targeted him.

But now… Was he the fool all along?

Seeing that Jiang Li did not respond, Bo Jingshen said calmly, “Fine, then I won’t invest in your project.”

Su Lu was speechless. Su Lu on the side pondered, “Was it so hasty? I guess he’s banking on Jiang Li’s character.”

As expected, the weary voice of Second Young Master Jiang came through on the other end of the phone, “I’ll handle it.”

“Alright, hurry up,” Bo Jingshen urged.

Bo Jingshen hung up the phone.

He met Su Lu’s eyes filled with confusion.

Bo Jingshen explained calmly, “Yesterday, your secretary called, saying that she couldn’t handle Su Yukang’s harassment anymore. I picked up the call since you were sleeping. I forgot to tell you when you woke up.”

“I see,” Su Lu then realized something, “So that’s why Su Jiao knows I’m staying here.”

“Don’t worry, let Jiang Er deal with it,” Bo Jingshen said nonchalantly, showing no remorse for betraying Jiang Er, “Let’s freshen up and go downstairs for breakfast.”

They could have had breakfast delivered to their room, but the hotel’s second-floor restaurant also offered a buffet breakfast.

Since Bo Jingshen suggested going downstairs, Su Lu quickly freshened up.

The two of them changed into comfortable attire and headed downstairs.

They arrived at the second-floor restaurant.

Su Lu was taken aback, “The second floor has this kind of layout?”

“Yes, it’s a one-way glass,” Bo Jingshen explained, placing a plate of croissants on the table along with a small pot of black coffee.

Although the window of the restaurant on the second floor was a floor-to-ceiling window, it was not a window that faced the outside. What could be seen from the one-way glass of the floor-to-ceiling window was the situation in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.

At this moment, they could see a beautiful woman sitting on one of the sofas in the lobby.

Su Jiao was indeed beautiful, but her style was different from Su Lu’s. Su Lu had a gentle curve to his eyebrows and delicate facial features. Her whole persona emanated a clean and soft texture.

Su Jiao was Zhu Xinyan’s child, so she looked more like Zhu Xinyan. Back then, Zhu Xinyan was able to be married by Su Yukang as a secondary lover among a group of little lovers. Her seductive and enchanting appearance played a significant role.

Su Jiao had the same long and upturned eyebrows as Zhu Xinyan, unlike Su Lu’s innocent and gentle deer-like eyes. Su Jiao’s eyebrows always carried a sultry gaze, along with full lips and a slightly pointed chin.

To be honest, such a look might make one feel it was not dignified enough, but to some men, she was quite charming.

Even when she was angry, she seemed to exude a charming resentment.

At this moment, Su Jiao’s eyebrows furrowed as she stared at her phone. She was unable to connect the call, grinding her teeth in frustration.

“What’s so impressive about her! She’s just a cheap good-for-nothing, yet she’s acting all high and mighty!”

She quickly dialed another number.

This time, the call was quickly answered.

As soon as the call connected, Su Jiao sweetly complained, “Dad! I can’t even see her! Without her consent, the hotel reception won’t let me go up. Now I can only wait in the hotel lobby! We’re family, how could she do this?”

“That despicable woman! She’s gone too far! I’ll call her right now. You wait in the lobby for a while,” Su Yukang’s voice was filled with anger, but the second half of his sentence carried a hint of gentle coaxing.

“Got it,” Su Jiao mumbled and ended the call.

Su Lu picked up her glass of milk and took a sip. She shifted her gaze from the lobby downstairs to her phone on the table, thinking, “It’s about to ring.”

Sure enough, within a few seconds, the phone on the table vibrated, indicating an incoming call from Su Yukang.

Su Lu didn’t reach out to answer it when the phone rang a few times. Just as she was about to reach for it, Bo Jingshen held her phone down. “If you don’t want to answer, then don’t.”

“Can I evade it?” Su Lu casually remarked, uttering four words that carried a sense of indifference and lightness.

Bo Jingshen was stunned when he heard her words.

It was as if these four short words encompassed all kinds of helplessness.

Su Lu picked up her phone and answered the call, holding it thirty centimeters away from her ear.

She could still hear Su Yukang’s angry voice on the other end of the phone, indicating how loud he was speaking.

“Su Lu, do you think you’re invincible? You didn’t pick up the call! No reply to messages! I asked your secretary at your company, and she had no clue. Otherwise, she pretended not to know!

“President Liu has also been offended by you! We’ve been partners for so many years without any issues, but you managed to mess it up! You offended him over a simple gathering. Your sister came to Hai City to see you, and you didn’t even let her come up to your room? You made her wait in the hotel lobby?!”

Su Lu had anticipated these angry words, so she didn’t show any change in her expression. She even pinched a small piece of bread and calmly chewed it.

On the other hand, Bo Jingshen’s brow furrowed.

Su Yukang’s attitude and these unpleasant words…However, what made Bo Jingshen bothered the most wasn’t Su Yukang’s attitude or words, but Su Lu’s usual indifference when faced with these vicious words.

It was as if she had already experienced such insults countless times.

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Am I falsely accusing you? What are you trying to imply now? Are you being stubborn?”

Compared to Su Lu’s calm demeanor, Su Yukang’s voice was filled with anger, and he even sounded out of breath. Obviously, he was very angry.

“Now, go downstairs immediately! Don’t make Jiao Jiao wait in the lobby! Can you hear me? Hello? Can you hear me? Speak!”

“I’m not at the hotel right now,” Su Lu replied nonchalantly.

With just a simple sentence, Su Lu quickly silenced Su Yukang.

“What? Then where are you? It’s early in the morning!”

“I’m just out having fun. Wasn’t it your idea for me to come to Hai City and relax?”

“What a disappointment you are! Gu Xin even took his little lover abroad for a vacation, and you want to relax!”

As soon as Su Yukang said that Bo Jingshen’s brow furrowed even deeper.
