Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!
Chapter 183 Chat Without Comfort

Chapter 183: Chapter 183 Chat Without Comfort

For some reason, Cheng Yan’s words couldn’t make Bo Jingshen feel any better.

For some reason, at this moment, he actually hoped that Su Lu would not separate her personal feelings from work because at least that would prove she still had emotions, still had ripples.

The calmer and more composed she became, the more unsettling it was for others.

Because it seemed that people only show emotions for the people or things they care about.

Towards those they don’t care about, no matter how stormy it becomes, they remain unmoved.

"I think Mr. Su is quite concerned about the club project, so you can allow her to contact Young Master Jiang. After all, I don’t know much about the project," Cheng Yan said.

Bo Jingshen nodded, but his thoughts seemed to drift away.

Su Lu had not taken the initiative to call Jiang Li; it was Jiang Li who had called her first.

It was not hard to detect a hint of hesitation in Jiang Li’s voice.

"Su Lu, are... are you okay?" Jiang Li asked cautiously.

"Alright, I was actually preparing to call you, but you beat me to it," Su Lu said. She could tell that Jiang Li didn’t seem to know about her hospitalization; probably Bo Jingshen hadn’t told him.

"Oh..." Jiang Li sounded apologetic, "I heard you were feeling unwell before, so I didn’t dare to disturb you."

He had indeed heard about it, mainly from the incident at Yunding, as he was there and knew exactly what happened.

Afterward, he had indeed heard that Su Lu wasn’t feeling well, Jiang Li had thought about checking on her, but as a close friend of Bo Jingshen, and considering the incident at Yunding... it always seemed a bit difficult to broach the subject.

It had taken him some time to let the heat of that day’s events cool down, waiting until the emotions likely had calmed. Only then did Jiang Li contact her.

"Mhm, it’s nothing serious," Su Lu replied with a light chuckle.

Hearing Su Lu’s gentle laugh, Jiang Li felt somewhat guilty and decided to tell the truth, "I’m sorry. Mainly because... after what happened that day, and being his friend, I felt a bit embarrassed to disturb you, fearing it would make you angry."

Su Lu didn’t expect Jiang Li to be so candid. She had thought Jiang Li would just offer some polite words and that would be the end of it; in turn, she would have had to respond politely as well.

But with him being so honest, Su Lu felt a sigh of relief.

"That’s not necessary," Su Lu smiled, "I wouldn’t take it out on you, no matter what."

Hearing this, Jiang Li seemed to relax quite a lot, "Are you feeling any better now?"

"Much better," Su Lu said, "Let’s not talk about that, I heard the team is going for concentrated training?"

"Yes. Huh? How did you know about that? It hasn’t been announced yet, and you’ve been unwell recently," Jiang Li said.

"My younger brother told me."

"How does he know?"

"Ying Xi told me," Su Lu chuckled, "I haven’t recovered enough to visit the team base, so could you reserve two spots for me to accompany the team during the training?"

"Sure," Jiang Li agreed without hesitation.

Jiang Li hadn’t offered any formalities earlier and had spoken directly with Su Lu, now their conversation was much more relaxed.

Jiang Li’s personality was naturally likable, as long as Bo Jingshen wasn’t mentioned, the conversation between them was very pleasant.

"I hear from Cheng Yan that you’ve been following up on the club’s affairs?" Su Lu asked.

Jiang Li responded cheerfully, "Yeah, I occasionally stay at the team’s residence."

"Is that right?" Su Lu thought about Jiang Li’s circumstances and felt that he was not having an easy time, having to do his utmost to take care of Ying Xi, the only younger brother of his deceased lover.

And he did so willingly.

It was evident from his tone and the content of his conversation.

Jiang Li laughed and said, "Yeah! Whenever Xiao Xi starts training, he goes hard, hardly eating properly. Then he uses the fact that he is the captain and the pillar of the club as an excuse to not be managed, and he’s ruining his stomach. That’s why he’s so thin."

Su Lu thought about the fair, tall, slender young man, who did indeed seem too thin.

"You can manage him?" Su Lu asked with a laugh.

Jiang Li sounded somewhat helpless, "Not really..." but he quickly changed the subject, "but I’m thick-skinned, you know, and after all, we’re the sponsors, practically his boss. If I’m a bit more persistent, he can’t do much but compromise."

It had to be said, there’s indeed a cure for everything in this world.

"It’s hard work on your part. I haven’t been much help," Su Lu said.

But Jiang Li was cheerfully unperturbed, "No worries at all, this project was initiated by me after all. Besides, I enjoy playing games myself, so living at the club is actually quite fun. I get to play along with the youngsters from the junior team, and I feel like it’s made me much younger."

"You aren’t really old to begin with!" Su Lu laughed.

After chatting for a while, to be honest, Su Lu felt... since the incident.

This talk with Jiang Li was the most pleasant, the most relaxing.

Jiang Li never mentioned Bo Jingshen, and he also didn’t know about her surgery, the fact that she had barely escaped death.

This was actually quite nice because even if others meant to console her, it only ended up tearing open her wounds over and over again.

A conversation like the one with Jiang Li, completely devoid of sympathy, pity, or consolation, somehow made her feel even more at ease.

And Jiang Li also seemed not to have anyone to talk to about things related to Ying Xi.

So the next day, Jiang Li called her again.

"You know, when you’re feeling better, you should come and visit the base too, it really can help clear the mind," Jiang Li suggested thoughtfully, sensing that Su Lu’s mood seemed better than yesterday.

"Alright, I’ll consider it when I’m feeling up to it," Su Lu replied.

After thinking a bit, Jiang Li said, "You know, there’s something I think you might not be aware of, but I think it’s necessary to mention."

Su Lu: "Hmm? What is it?"

Jiang Li: "You know what my family does, right?"

Su Lu certainly knew, the Jiang Family was involved in many businesses, including media.

Jiang Li continued, "The news from that day, we originally thought wouldn’t leak out because at the time Gu Xin and... they both said they would suppress it. But after a few days, you’d think the issue would have cooled down and be over."

"Turns out, it seems to have fermented anew," there was a serious tone in Jiang Li’s voice, "There must be someone behind this, manipulating it. We all said we’d suppress the story, yet it’s come out, whoever’s behind it must be powerful. I’ll trace it back later and see who’s responsible for leaking the news."

"Thanks," Su Lu expressed her gratitude.

But her voice sounded calm, like she wasn’t taking it seriously.

Jiang Li couldn’t help asking, "Aren’t you angry?"

"To be honest, these scandals are not new to me. There’s no reason to be upset," Su Lu replied.
