Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Foolishly Devoted Love

Jing Ce’s gaze was indifferent, profoundly looking into Bo Jingshen’s cold eyes, then his eyes followed down, landing on Bo Jingshen’s tightly clenched hand.

But it seemed like he didn’t really take it to heart, his expression was very calm, again gazing into Bo Jingshen’s eyes.

It was as if he was fearless, as if saying, "What can you do to me anyway?"

Bo Jingshen just coldly watched him, and after a moment, the hand that hung by his side and was clenched tight suddenly loosened.

It was as though he had come to some realization, the corners of his mouth curling up into a smile that was devoid of warmth, only carrying a hint of mockery.

Then he reached out to Xiao Caizi with a cold and mocking tone, even somewhat flippant "Shall we go then, Miss Xiao?"

Honestly, his attitude and expression at this moment were not good.

But Xiao Caizi was probably used to it, or maybe she really didn’t take it to heart, as calm and undisturbed as Su Lu’s attitude towards arranged marriage.

Even faced with Bo Jingshen’s demeanor, Xiao Caizi’s expression didn’t change much, seemingly not feeling awkward or humiliated, especially composed and calm; even the smile on her face was flawless, just as impeccable as before.

She gently placed her hand in Bo Jingshen’s palm, "Then I shall trouble you."

However, Jing Ce’s pickiness towards Bo Jingshen and Xiao Caizi’s behavior seemed non-existent. It appeared that as long as Bo Jingshen was willing to compromise, whether he did so willingly or resentfully, it was all the same to Jing Ce.

All he wanted was the result, as long as it was Bo Jingshen’s compromise.

Moreover, in Jing Ce’s eyes, marriage didn’t necessarily need feelings, suitability was essential, mutual benefits were necessary.

And Jing Ce had always valued men over women, somewhat looking down on women.

So regarding what kind of attitude Bo Jingshen had towards Xiao Caizi, Jing Ce was rather indifferent.

Jing Ce watched as Bo Jingshen led Xiao Caizi out of the suite, he raised an eyebrow; not only did he find nothing wrong with Bo Jingshen’s attitude, he even seemed quite satisfied.

Jing Ruo "Uh, dad, then I..."

Jing Ce glanced at her, "You follow them too. Your brother has a bad temper, don’t let the Xiao family girl have too hard a time. Go and smooth things over."

"Okay, then you rest early. I’m leaving." Jing Ruo was naturally not willing to stay a moment longer, quickly made her excuses, and left the suite, also closing the door behind her.

After they left.

Jing Ce turned his indifferent gaze to Zhou Xiaochu, who couldn’t help but shrink her neck, "President Jing, please don’t be angry. Xiao Shen is just... has a bit of a bad temper, but he is still a very filial child."

Even though Zhou Xiaochu and Jing Ce were legally married, despite having a thick prenuptial agreement that practically listed all of Jing Ce’s assets that she could have been entitled to as his lawful wife, then circumvented them.

If one day they divorced, Zhou Xiaochu might not literally leave with nothing, but compared to Jing Ce’s wealth, what she would get was so insignificant it almost made no difference.

Despite this, they were still legally married on paper. But Zhou Xiaochu was still afraid of him, which was evident from how she addressed him.

"Yes, it’s being filial," Jing Ce’s expression did not change much, still indifferent. His voice remained the same, stern and cold, only with increasingly severe coldness, "But not filial to you, what an interesting way to be a mother you have."

Zhou Xiaochu’s complexion turned sour; she opened her mouth but eventually did not make a sound, just pursing her lips in silence.

"Other people’s mothers, such as Jing Ruo and Jing Qiao, even though they are daughters, their mothers still love and educate them well. You, on the other hand, are interesting, it’s almost as if you haven’t abused Jingshen. To those who know, he’s your biological son, to those who don’t, he might as well be your enemy."

Jing Ce’s voice was cold. These were all facts he had investigated, leaving Zhou Xiaochu with no room for argument.

There really wasn’t anything to argue about. In Bao Jing’s hometown, everyone knew that Master Bo’s wife, although beautiful and well-treated by Master Bo,

seemed as though the whole world owed her something, always carrying a foul face.

Most importantly, this woman hardly treated her child as her own, who was her flesh and bone. Those unaware might think the child was some kind of class enemy.

Without Master Bo, the child would have had a miserable life. It’s inconceivable, as even a tiger does not eat its cubs, not to mention the child was good-looking since childhood, endearing him to anyone who saw him, how could his biological mother be so cruel?

These facts were no secret, especially in that old neighborhood where neighbors, familiar faces of many years, all knew what went on in each household.

Zhou Xiaochu kept her head lowered and dared not speak. She hadn’t dared to argue; she had tried to argue once before, but Jing Ce was not the type to tolerate sly defenses. Since he stated them, there must have been absolute evidence; hence, as soon as she tried to argue, Jing Ce slapped her so hard she couldn’t stand up for a while.

Jing Ce continued, "If it weren’t for your poor treatment of him, he might still regard you somewhat in his eyes, his words might carry some weight, he might still be under control, and things might not be so troublesome."

Zhou Xiaochu hurriedly whispered, "It’s... it’s not like that. Xiao Shen is a filial child, he does listen to me somewhat."

"Then you should be grateful that you are not completely insignificant in his eyes," Jing Ce said coldly, "Otherwise, he might have done more than just linger around someone’s apartment building."

Jing Ce chuckled softly, a mocking tone apparent, uncertain whether it was self-mockery or otherwise, "I really didn’t expect him to be such a devoted type, I really don’t know who he takes after, as clearly neither of us are like that."

Zhou Xiaochu actually wanted to express her own devotion, to say that she too was quite devoted, or else she wouldn’t have still been longing for him after all these years.

But she dared not say it, seeing Jing Ce’s mocking smile, she suddenly felt timid, afraid to speak those words.

Thus, Zhou Xiaochu, as if trying to show she still had some usefulness, quickly said, "If you need, I can also talk to that woman; after all, I am Xiao Shen’s mother."

Jing Ce pondered for a moment, "Not necessary for now, let’s hold off. I don’t want to push Jingshen too hard at once, it’s easy to backfire. In fact, I don’t care whom he wants to be involved with, but his marriage is not up to him to decide. It’s just that I don’t know whether this kid is stubborn enough to oppose me directly..."
