Chapter 138: Chapter 138 Don’t Regret It

Jing Ruo was also somewhat nervous, she silently swallowed her saliva; she was truly afraid of Jing Ce getting angry, because his anger was never an explosive rage.

It was an unnoticed seepage, by the time you realized he was angry, the punishment he intended to give and its consequences were usually irreversible.

But Jing Ce merely stared quietly and evenly at Xiao Caizi for a moment, then smiled and said, "You haven’t even married Jingshen yet, and you’re already bending your elbow in his favor?"

Xiao Caizi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said shyly, "I’m thin-skinned, uncle, please don’t make fun of me."

"Fine, you are sensible, so I’ll listen to you," Jing Ce said. "Let’s not announce it publicly, since this is Feng City and we are unfamiliar with this place."

Hearing this, Jing Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, cautiously glancing at Bo Jingshen’s expression, thinking that at least he could feel somewhat better now.

But Bo Jingshen’s expression did not change, nor did he look any better.

How to put it, although Bo Jingshen hadn’t spent decades with Jing Ce, he felt he understood him well enough.

Because he understood him well enough, Bo Jingshen knew his stubbornness; once he decided something, it wasn’t easy to back down. If it seemed like he gave in?

That definitely meant he initially offered a higher price, even leaving room for bargaining that would bring it exactly to his actual desired price or even higher.

So, even though Jing Ruo and Xiao Caizi had breathed sighs of relief, Bo Jingshen didn’t share their fortunate mood.

And indeed, his premonition proved correct.

Sure enough, although Jing Ce seemed to nod in agreement with Xiao Caizi’s words, his next sentence quickly followed.

Jing Ce, "Then let Jingshen take you to meet his friends and introduce you properly. We can’t slight you. Xiao, if a man is willing to introduce you to his friends and disclose your identity to them, that’s a real sign he values you."

Bo Jingshen couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.

And Jing Ce, as if he couldn’t see the sneer on his face or perhaps he saw it and didn’t care, he never minded whether others sneered or mocked him.

As long as they couldn’t get comfortable about not liking him, that was fine.

So Jing Ce very comfortably asked Bo Jingshen, "You’ll give Xiao that much importance, right?"

Xiao Caizi tightened her grip on Bo Jingshen’s hand, afraid he might pull away, then shyly smiled at Jing Ce, "Don’t worry uncle, Jingshen is very nice; how could he possibly refuse such a small matter?"

"That’s settled then. I’ll be waiting to see." Jing Ce nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave.

Once he left, Bo Jingshen withdrew his hand, "You sure take liberties."

"What else could I do, openly break with him? You don’t need me to tell you about Jing Ce’s temper. It’s no secret in all of Beijing, right? Whether you want to protect your friends or your woman, rashly angering him is hardly going to end well."

Xiao Caizi made a cogent point, then added the most pertinent line, "Besides, isn’t there a chance that Jing Su might show up? I’ve come this far; I don’t want any interference halfway."

Otherwise, Xiao Caizi, despite being willing to cooperate with Bo Jingshen, would not confront Jing Ce in this manner.

"Brother, maybe...," Jing Ruo wanted to say maybe she should go and greet Su Lu?

But it seemed Bo Jingshen had already made up his mind; his brow furrowed, he summoned a waiter with a wave of his hand then quietly instructed him.

The waiter, of course, dared not delay and quickly nodded before going to do as instructed.

Jing Ruo overheard Bo Jingshen’s instructions to the waiter and asked with a frown, "Is that really okay?"

"There’s no other way, it’s better than letting her face Jing Ce directly," Bo Jingshen said gravely.

He couldn’t afford the slightest threat to Su Lu, and Jing Ce was a significant danger and trouble; if possible, Bo Jingshen hoped to keep danger far away from her.

Letting her just need to live happily was enough.

Generally, Jing Ruo didn’t have much to say about Bo Jingshen’s actions, but this time she did have some opinions.

She thought for a moment, then said earnestly, "Sometimes a woman’s thoughts aren’t so complicated. What you think is good for her might actually harm her, and then you shouldn’t regret it."

Bo Jingshen didn’t seem to take this to heart, or even if he did, he still didn’t plan to change his mind.

Jing Ruo didn’t intend to persuade him further.

When Su Lu found Su Yi smoking outside the side door, Jiang Li was there too, and he recognized him, so they squatted down together at the side door, both smoking.

"I don’t like the atmosphere inside either, but there’s no helping it. So I stay outside a bit longer before going in, to reduce the annoyance a bit," Jiang Li said naturally.

Standing next to them, Ying Xi, in a crisp suit which made the young man look even more mature and handsome, had his hand in his pocket and a somewhat impatient expression on his face, his cigarette dangling in a slightly hooligan manner, but it was unlit.

"Why come to an event you dislike?" Ying Xi couldn’t help asking after hearing Jiang Li’s words.

"You wanted to come, right? You seemed quite interested, and after all, it’s a bro’s gathering. Even if I don’t like it, I have to show my face. We’ll just go in, show our faces, and that’ll be it," Jiang Li said naturally.

This left Ying Xi without any rebuttal.

Just then, Su Lu came out, holding her dress up.

"So you’re here," Su Lu smiled, "You’re really not up to the mark as a male companion."

Ying Xi involuntarily shrank his neck at Su Lu’s sight; this woman looked gentle, but she was indeed formidable. Anyway, Ying Xi did not dare underestimate her.

"Gu Xin is even less up to the mark as a husband, but I see you don’t seem to have a problem with that?" Su Yi spoke out of tough love, so he retorted immediately.

Su Lu looked somewhat helpless, "After all, he’s not my husband anymore, how long have we been separated? Besides, even if he wants to announce something with Chen Yaxi today, that’s a kind of freedom for me as well. Why should I mind?"

Her point was irrefutable. Su Yi also found no retort.

However, Jiang Li beside them listened in surprise. What had he just heard? Su Lu and Gu Xin... were divorced?

Of course, Su Lu knew Jiang Li was nearby; she wasn’t sure if it was because he was there that she mentioned this fact.

Maybe this way, the news could reach Bo Jingshen’s ears faster through Jiang Li?

"I..." Su Yi couldn’t say it well, and after struggling for a while, he blurted, "I can’t be bothered with you!"

It was Jiang Li who broke the tension, "Alright, alright, let’s hurry in then!"
