Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!
Chapter 136: Unfair

Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Unfair

Su Yi saw her smile and felt a bit embarrassed, clearing his throat gently, "Big Brother asked me to come."

He stressed this point as if he were trying to cover something up, then averted his gaze and said, "Anyway, anyway, you don’t have a male companion either, right? Brother didn’t want you to go with Gu Xin. Might as well let me come, after all, I’m grown up now."

Su Lu looked at him for a moment. He was tall and slender, and she already had to look up to see his height, "You certainly are an adult now."

Of course, Su Lu had no intention of refusing and nodded her head, "Then let’s go."

She gently lifted her skirt.

Su Yi actually displayed quite the gentlemanly demeanor, opening the car door for her. Su Lu’s eyebrows lifted slightly.

Su Yi made a welcoming gesture, and Su Lu smiled and got into the car.

The car headed toward Yunding.

Halfway there, Su Lu called Su Zhe, chuckling, "You arranged such a young male companion for me?"

"Isn’t that so? I originally wanted to volunteer, but first, I dislike such events, and second, I am too old to present a good image for you. He eagerly volunteered, so I let him go. It’s good for him to see the world."

Su Zhe laughed on the other end.

Su Lu was taken aback. She hadn’t expected that Su Yi had actually volunteered to come.

She turned to glance at Su Yi, who evidently didn’t know what was said on the phone and was still looking down, adjusting his shirt cuffs.

After she ended the call, Su Lu reached out, took Su Yi’s hand, and removed his cufflinks before neatly fastening them again.

Su Yi blinked at her and cleared his throat softly, "Ahem, thank you."

The car arrived at Yunding before they knew it.

A company like Boss’s grand opening was certainly a large-scale event, with Boss’s logo continuously scrolling across the screens on the exterior walls of Yunding.

Luxury cars arrived one after another, stopping at the front entrance to let out elegantly-dressed men and women from the vehicles.

Su Lu’s car slowly merged into the stream of vehicles and stopped at the main entrance, where Su Yi got out of the car and opened the door for her, extending a hand.

Su Lu placed her hand in his palm, and gracefully stepped out of the car.

The lobby on the first floor of Yunding was bustling, many of the guests attending the banquet had not gone upstairs to the banquet hall yet, and were mingling with each other in the lobby.

Su Lu entered the lobby, her gaze sweeping around the room, but she didn’t see any sign of Bo Jingshen.

However, she quickly heard the familiar voice of Gu Xin, "Xiaolu! Over here!"

Su Lu looked in his direction and walked up to him with a smile.

"How come you didn’t let me pick you up?" Gu Xin asked.

"I can come by myself," Su Lu replied.

Gu Xin looked at Su Yi, "Xiao Yi is back? When did he return?"

Su Yi looked at Gu Xin, not saying a word. There was no smile on his face, but he hadn’t smiled from the beginning, so his lack of a smile now didn’t seem odd.

Su Yi didn’t like Gu Xin; before, it was because he was Su Lu’s mock husband, which he didn’t like.

Now, it was because he knew Gu Xin had wronged Su Lu, so he still didn’t like him.

Su Lu spoke up: "He just got back not long ago. My brother had him come to be my companion, to see the world."

"Is that so," Gu Xin said, his heart skipping a beat with relief that it was not Su Zhe who had come personally.

"Well..." Su Lu had not yet finished speaking when she saw a graceful figure walking up behind them, standing next to Gu Xin.

Su Yi’s brows furrowed tightly all at once.

Su Lu was stunned for a moment, simply surprised, "When did you get back?"

More shocked than her was Gu Xin, who stared at Chen Yaxi beside him with his mouth agape, "You... When did you come back? I had no idea!"

"I wanted to surprise you, how about it?" Chen Yaxi looked at him with a smile.

Gu Xin was almost at a loss for words.

Chen Yaxi turned to Su Lu, "I didn’t scare you, did I?"

"Not at all, but you sure gave Gu Xin quite a fright." Su Lu laughed.

Chen Yaxi took a deep breath and pursed her lips, "Su Lu, I don’t want to keep dodging and hiding anymore, I’m going to start showing soon, and when I do, my belly will grow large. I don’t care that I’ve carried the name of the other woman for all these years, but I really don’t want my child to be born with the stigma of being illegitimate. I hope you can understand me..."

Su Lu nodded at Chen Yaxi’s words; of course, she could understand Chen Yaxi.

No woman would want her child to be born with the stigma of being illegitimate.

"I understand," Su Lu nodded.

But Su Yi, who had been quiet until now, suddenly spoke up, "Wait a minute, what do you mean? Understand what?"

Su Yi and Su Lu looked somewhat alike, but unlike Su Lu’s slightly gentle features, Su Yi’s features were sharper, and with his thin and young appearance, he carried the sharpness of a youthful lad.

Not to say he was very intimidating, but he was certainly not without presence, as he stared at Chen Yaxi and Gu Xin.

"What does this mean? Asking my sister to understand you? What do you mean by that?" Su Yi asked again.

Gu Xin said, "Xiao Yi, it’s like this, your sister and I are already divorced, it’s just that the news hasn’t been made public yet. We’ve been planning to find the right time, preferably one that is good for both families."

At this, Su Yi snorted coldly and asked back, "So you mean to say that today is that right time? Good for whom? Good for both families? How is it good? From what you’re saying, it sounds like you’re planning to embarrass my sister in such a setting?"

Gu Xin was also taken aback, not having expected Su Yi to stand up for Su Lu because, unlike Su Zhe, Su Yi didn’t put as much importance on Su Lu.

Not just Gu Xin was taken aback, Su Lu didn’t see it coming either, and after a moment of shock, she said, "Xiao Yi, you..."

"You are going to let them embarrass you in such a setting?" Su Yi asked her.

Su Lu thought to herself that it wasn’t exactly embarrassing, mainly because in the social circle of Feng City, Gu Xin’s scandals were no secret, so even if the news of their divorce was released now.

It wouldn’t really be an embarrassment.

Su Lu felt an uncommon sense of relief in her heart. She reached out to gently pat the back of Su Yi’s hand, "Xiao Yi, it’s okay. I’m fine."

Su Yi looked at her with a mix of frustration and anger, probably too upset to say anything, and turned his head to walk away furiously.

Gu Xin looked at Su Lu, somewhat embarrassed, "Sorry, Xiaolu."

"It’s fine."

"But I didn’t expect Xiao Yi to get so mad," Gu Xin said with a laugh.

Su Lu thought to herself that she didn’t expect it either.

Chen Yaxi also felt a bit ashamed because of the episode that just happened with Su Yi.

"Su Lu, I..."

Su Lu and Chen Yaxi had known each other for more than a day or two, and truly, there was no intention to make things difficult for her.

"It’s really fine, go ahead and do what you want to do. Don’t worry about me, I’m fine," Su Lu said.

Chen Yaxi pursed her lips, her eyes reddening a bit, "Thank you, I’m sorry. I know this isn’t right, but I..."

She reached out and embraced Su Lu.
