Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!
Chapter 222 Premonition

Chapter 222: Chapter 222 Premonition

Su Zhe dialed Zhao Ying’s number without intentionally avoiding Su Lu, nor did he move to a corridor or restroom to talk. He simply took a few steps towards the living room sofa, dialed the number, and sat down.

Meanwhile, Su Lu, sitting at the bar, felt somewhat out of place, so she got up and began to tidy up the cups and plates on the counter.

The call was quickly connected.

"Ms. Zhao, this is Su Zhe."

"Ah, hello, hello."

From Zhao Ying’s voice, one could detect a subtle hint of servility, almost as if she was trying to please, speaking so cautiously that it seemed she was minding even her breathing.

Who could guess that this was Zhao Ying, the top boss of Beijing’s ZS, a powerful businesswoman?

She was just a mother after all.

"I’ve already mentioned it to Lulu."

Upon hearing this from Su Zhe, the person on the other end of the line held their breath, not to mention their voice.

There was complete silence.

Su Zhe continued, "She was somewhat shocked, as no one would expect such a thing."

Zhao Ying gave a weak acknowledgment.

She didn’t dare to ask, hesitated for a while, and then cautiously asked, "Then she..." but couldn’t finish her question, only repeating, "Then she..."

In the end, she didn’t finish her sentence.

Su Zhe didn’t wait for Zhao Ying to finish her question before responding, "She’s not resistant, and somewhat prepared mentally."

"Ah!" Zhao Ying responded. Her tone was obviously much less cautious than before; her voice seemed much brighter, brimming with happiness.

Her voice was tinged with tears of joy, "Thank you, thank you so much. Su Zhe, if there’s anything I can help with in the future, just let me know."

Su Zhe didn’t say much and hung up the phone.

After ending the call, Zhao Ying looked at her phone screen, which had ended the call, and seemed a bit distracted as she was still immersed in the good news she had just received.

"Su Zhe?" A calm voice came from the side, bringing Zhao Ying back to her senses.

Zhao Ying quickly masked her expression; the joy and emotion slowly faded, returning to her usual calm demeanor when dealing with others.

"Yes." She nodded and looked towards the young man on the hospital bed.

Even though he could only lie down, he did not seem weak in any manner.

His eyes, sharp as a hawk’s, did not look like they belonged to someone weak.

Despite Zhao Ying having seen firsthand how severe his injuries were on his back.

Bo Jingshen, looking at this middle-aged woman in front of him, still found it hard to associate this middle-aged woman, who once nursed Su Lu, with the enigmatic and powerful businesswoman of Beijing.

Had it not been for seeing her reappear by Su Lu’s side, which coincidentally made him uneasy enough to have her investigated, Bo Jingshen would have truly struggled to make the connection.

"It seems you have already known your identity," Bo Jingshen said.

Zhao Ying didn’t seem to intend on hiding, and nodded straightforwardly.

"Then... President Zhao, did you specifically come here to tell me something?" Bo Jingshen asked this question, but without waiting for Zhao Ying’s response, he continued, "Rather than asking that, I’m more curious about why the owner of ZS would go undercover as a mere nurse by Su Lu’s side. What exactly do you intend to do? What is your purpose?"

"I don’t need to tell you the specifics." Zhao Ying said flatly. Whenever she spoke to Bo Jingshen, her tone was anything but pleasant, even cold to the point of appearing indifferent.

That was normal, though, as from a mother’s perspective, he was nothing but a scoundrel who had harmed her daughter! How could she be expected to speak kindly?

Yet, the contradiction was that this scoundrel was also the father of her daughter’s unborn child and appeared to be her daughter’s true love, especially considering he had indeed saved her daughter from danger this time.

This made things quite paradoxical.

Even a strong woman like Zhao Ying could feel the immense contradiction.

Zhao Ying’s voice was cool, "Anyway, I can protect her better than you... Su Lu, that is."

About that, Bo Jingshen had his reservations...

"As for that, I have my reservations," Bo Jingshen looked at Zhao Ying, and involuntarily, his voice softened, no longer as cold as before. For some reason, he felt compelled to speak more gently and amicably.

It was that peculiar feeling, as if being impolite to this middle-aged woman now could complicate things later.

It was just a slight premonition.

But it softened Bo Jingshen’s tone substantially when he spoke with Zhao Ying; his voice lacked the previous harshness, even when he was disagreeing with her.

"If you truly could protect Su Xiaolu, then such a malicious incident wouldn’t have occurred..."

Bo Jingshen’s point was not without merit.

Zhao Ying’s face was cold, "So you do understand, this incident was indeed targeting Xiaolu."

"I understand," Bo Jingshen nodded.

Zhao Ying said coldly, "The mess belongs to your Jing Family, the crap in your family’s trousers, keep it from leaking onto Su Lu. That old fox’s actions are absolutely disgraceful..."

Bo Jingshen took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

He had no counterarguments, Zhao Ying’s words were all rational, and he couldn’t refute them.

"Following you means danger," Zhao Ying stated, her voice growing colder, "and you know this, yet have the audacity to stick close to her?"

Zhao Ying stared at him.

Bo Jingshen felt uneasy under her gaze, and for some reason, he had a strange premonition, a primal instinct telling him not to dismiss this middle-aged woman lightly.

Even if her piercing words were discomforting, even if her staring cold eyes were unnerving.

But it seemed as if his subconscious was telling him not to confront this middle-aged woman, not to treat her poorly, otherwise... something unfavorable might happen in the future.

So Bo Jingshen could only silently endure.

Moreover, Zhao Ying’s words were not wrong.

Seeing that he did not respond, Zhao Ying asked again, "You’re the one sticking close to Su Lu, if I’m not mistaken, right?"

Bo Jingshen remained silent, his lips pressed tightly together. Indeed, he had made efforts to overcome his fear of flying just so he could stick with her and come here to the training camp.

He wondered, had he not come here, would such a vicious incident have occurred, would Ying Xi have had to suffer this undeserved disaster?

But then again, had he not come here, would Su Lu have been the one facing this vicious incident directly?

Bo Jingshen didn’t dare say he had done the right thing, but he also didn’t dare claim he had done the wrong thing.

Finally, resisting the subconscious pressures and premonitions, he took a deep breath and retorted to Zhao Ying, "But what business is it of yours anyway? Who are you to her, how is this your concern?"
