Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!
Chapter 146: Quick Response

Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Quick Response

Su Zhe didn’t leave all night.

He just made do in the hospital room for a night, but fortunately, Su Lu’s room was a luxurious suite, which included not only the patient room, but also a caretaker room and a living room.

Su Zhe spent the night in the caretaker room, staring at Su Lu’s medical records all night long.

He also talked on the phone with Professor Zhou until very late.

Before resting, Su Lu heard Su Zhe talking on the phone with Professor Zhou. She had good hearing, so could overhear him asking Professor Zhou about the risks associated with the surgery.

For some reason, hearing the faint sound of her brother’s voice on the phone outside, Su Lu’s anxious heart finally calmed down, and she gradually settled, falling asleep in a short while.

She thought she would inevitably think of that man, recalling the despair and embarrassment at Yunding.

Unexpectedly, those thoughts didn’t come; Su Lu only thought about tomorrow’s surgery, the possible risks...

Besides that, she didn’t think of anything else, and soon plunged deeply into her dreams.

In her dreams, it was Bo Jingshen’s face that kept appearing.

He was still as young and handsome as he had been back then, in Su Lu’s eyes, it was the way he looked when he loved her the most.

It was also a face that made her suffer and kept her awake at night over the past five years.

But never again in her dreams did he look sad or upset. Now, in her dreams, his expression was spirited, and he had a beautiful companion.

While she was just a minor character in the scene, or perhaps not even a minor character, just an onlooker.

Even in her dreams, Su Lu felt a sense of helplessness, but it seemed... that was all. There were no intense feelings of sadness or grief; perhaps she really had come to terms with it.

The banquet at Yunding continued into the night, the original banquet on the top-floor lounge turned into a cocktail party, everyone criss-crossing their toasts joyfully, as if the incident earlier in the downstairs banquet hall had never happened.

The Jiang brothers, Jiang Su and Jiang Li, along with the Cheng brothers, Cheng Yan and Cheng Dongyu, sat together in a corner along with Zhuang Cainan, though he was not in good shape.

Jing Ruo and Xiao Cai Zi also joined them, and compared to the bustling atmosphere of the venue, their table could hardly be considered lively, even a bit subdued.

"How is it going?" Jing Ruo asked, looking up at Jiang Su.

"Do you think I’m some kind of deity?" Jiang Su said, shaking his head, but still picked up his phone to dial a number, then stood up and walked aside to talk.

After a short while, Bo Jingshen came over, his expression looking... very bad.

"Did they leave?" Jiang Li asked, "What exactly is going on? Today I’m totally confused. How did it suddenly... even get to an engagement?"

At this, Jiang Li couldn’t help but glance at Xiao Cai Zi.

But Bo Jingshen was in no mood to explain too much, and simply said indifferently, "If you want to know, just go ask your brother."

To say that others might not know these details is one thing, but it seemed impossible for Jiang Su not to know.

Jing Ruo cautiously asked, "Are... are you alright?"

Bo Jingshen looked at her, as if she’d said something pointless.

Alright? Of course not.

"They leave on tomorrow morning’s flight," Bo Jingshen said.

What they spoke of was undoubtedly Jing Ce and Zhou Xiaochu. Jing Ruo hadn’t expected them to leave so quickly, but upon reflection, it did indeed make sense.

Jing Ce always acted with purpose and never wasted much time. He would leave as soon as his goal was achieved.

And his purpose for this trip was clear, and obviously, he had achieved the effect he wanted, so naturally, there was no reason for him to stay any longer. He was already preparing to leave.

Jing Ruo still wanted to say something, but Bo Jingshen no longer wanted to continue the topic about Jing Ce. Just then Jiang Su finished his phone call and came over. Bo Jingshen sat down next to him and turned to look at him.

Jiang Su, "Don’t look at me like that, you’re making me feel pressured."

"How is it?" Bo Jingshen asked seriously, "Any news?"

"The latest news is that they were photographed outside Yunding," Jiang Su pulled up a few photos on his phone, "I tried to suppress the news as much as possible. I have quite a lot of media resources. If nothing goes wrong, it shouldn’t leak. Otherwise, this news would be explosive, with the wife and mistress both appearing with old and new loves, and Gu Xin enjoying the fortune of many..."

Jiang Su had intended to lighten the mood, but of course, Bo Jingshen couldn’t grasp his meaning at the moment.

Bo Jingshen’s face was somber as he took Jiang Su’s phone and looked at the photos. In the photos, Gu Xin was holding Su Lu tightly by the shoulders, while Chen Yaxi was firmly holding Su Lu’s hand, and Su Lu looked pale. Honestly, at first glance, it indeed resembled what Jiang Su was just talking about.

The three of them seemed to be on good terms. However, Su Lu’s pallid face in the photos could easily be interpreted in other ways.

For instance, as if the husband appeared with the mistress, coercing his wife.... In short, the imagination of humans is always vast.

But Bo Jingshen had come to know another reason; Su Lu and Gu Xin had already divorced. Perhaps that was the reason they could behave so harmoniously as a trio.

They might have even been divorced for a long time, which is why they had always been harmonious.

Bo Jingshen slowly swiped to the next photo.

In the next photo, Chen Yaxi and Gu Xin were helping Su Lu into the car.

Bo Jingshen was again pained by Su Lu’s pale face, his fingers paused on the screen, and he abruptly stopped before swiping to the next photo.

The photo had very subtle indications, and he saw a faint bloodstain on her dress.

The bloodstain was not obvious, but its location was too provocative.

Bo Jingshen almost instantly froze, a thought uncontrollably popping into his mind, then his brain went blank in a flash.

Bo Jingshen zoomed in on the spot on the photo again and again, even more certain now that it was a bloodstain.

Bo Jingshen stood up abruptly, "What... what is this?"

Bo Jingshen’s heart was beating fast, fiercely, as if it would leap out of his throat.

What was this?

His mind guessed a possibility that excited and agitated him, yet he dared not dwell on it deeply.

Bo Jingshen swallowed, as if afraid to awaken something, his treacherous life, with his foster father and Su Lu as his only light.

He always feared waking from a beautiful dream, so much so that he dared not even think deeply.

Bo Jingshen turned to ask Jiang Su, "How long until we can find out Su Lu’s whereabouts?"

"It’s hard to say. If no one interferes, it should be quick, but it’s strange... we can’t find anything. I don’t know who reacted so quickly," Jiang Su said.

But Bo Jingshen had some guesses...

"Su Zhe."
