Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!
Chapter 236: Exit

Chapter 236: Chapter 236: Exit

Jiang Li was freaking out!

He didn’t want to take on this kind of job at all!

Oh my god, why did this have to fall on him? Jiang Li was fully awake now and couldn’t understand how this had happened.

His expression was pained, "Su Lu, don’t get too upset..."

"I’m not upset."

"You’re not..." Upon closer inspection, Jiang Li realized that she truly wasn’t upset at all — she was the picture of calm.

Was he the fool here? It seemed like Jiang Li was the one getting worked up, unable to speak coherently.

"Don’t make rash decisions." Jiang Li paused for a moment, finally finding the right words. "Don’t be rash. We can talk this through calmly. We’re all adults here; we’ve been through ups and downs. There’s no need to be impulsive. Everything can be discussed and resolved calmly."

Su Lu gave a wry smile, "Yeah, I think so too. Everything can be discussed and resolved. But it seems I don’t even qualify to communicate. It’s like being a fool, blinded and deafened."

Oh dear...

Jiang Li felt helpless inside. How was he going to smooth this over? With the situation as it was, he felt there was no way he could make things right.

He opened his mouth, but couldn’t utter a single convincing word of comfort.

Su Lu didn’t mean to make it hard for him, nor had she come to debate with him.

So she shook her head, "Let’s not talk about this. For now, I can only ask you to pass on a message. I can’t contact him right now, and I don’t know where he is. It’s not that I couldn’t find him if I tried, but I just... don’t want to look anymore."

Su Lu laughed self-deprecatingly, "If I really tried, it would seem like I, Su Lu, am indebted."

"Hey, don’t say that..." Jiang Li couldn’t bear hearing Su Lu belittle herself.

Su Lu looked at him, "But you and I both know, from the moment we set out to come here, it wasn’t me who insisted on clinging to him."

That was true. Jiang Li nodded. It was Bo Jingshen who had clung to her, braving his severe fear of flying just to come along.

And everything had been going well on the trip! What was this drama now? Jiang Li couldn’t help but cry out internally.

"Since he has the time to deal with the hospital transfer, it shows he’s not in life-threatening danger. When you can contact him, just pass on my message," Su Lu said.

Jiang Li couldn’t persuade her, despite having tried for so long. Seeing Su Lu usually so gentle, speaking so firmly, he realized she must have been really angry. He simply couldn’t persuade her and just nodded.

Seeing his agreement, Su Lu also nodded, "Then I’ll be leaving first. Take care," she said, glancing at the direction of the ward door, "I hope Ying Xi recovers soon."

"Thank you." Jiang Li asked, "What will you do afterwards..."

"I’ll head back to my country first," Su Lu said, her brows slightly furrowed, "I originally came out here to relax and unwind, but ended up not relaxing at all and just getting more upset. My brother... I’ll see if he wants to go back with me. If not, you can take him back later. He seems to get along well with Ying Xi, so maybe he won’t want to leave."

"Okay." Jiang Li nodded, slightly relieved that Su Lu hadn’t brought up something else.

But before he could fully relax, Su Lu spoke again, "As for the project, I’m dropping out. It was always his investment; we just took advantage of it to help with operations. If there had been profits, we could have shared them, but he would have had the larger share..."

Jiang Li nodded, knowing that from the start of this esports project, that was the arrangement with him and Su Lu.

But now, Su Lu wanted out.

"This advantage, I’m no longer taking. I don’t need this share. I’ll have my lawyer handle the details on paper—I’m withdrawing, no longer involved."

"Don’t!" Jiang Li panicked, "Am I supposed to handle everything alone now?"

"It’s not that you can’t handle it," Su Lu reassured him, "Don’t limit yourself; you’re perfectly capable. Let’s end it at that for now, it’s getting late. You should rest early, I’m leaving."

Jiang Li couldn’t persuade her. He then realized, this gentle woman, when she decides to be resolute, is utterly immovable, leaving no room for negotiation.

She even planned to withdraw from the project and have him pass messages, evidently planning to not converse directly...

Did that mean she truly intended to sever all ties with Bo Jingshen?

Jiang Li couldn’t persuade her, leaving him no choice but to accompany her to the door.

After Su Lu left, he hurriedly dialed Bo Jingshen’s number, but no one answered.

Jiang Li was overwhelmed, so he quickly dialed his brother’s number.

Eventually, it was Jiang Su who managed to contact Jing Su... One thing led to another.

As dawn was breaking, Jiang Li, with red eyes, stood outside the ICU.

"How did it end up like this..." Jiang Li murmured.

After learning about the situation from Jing Su, Jiang Li initially had some complaints about Bo Jingshen, feeling it was unfair to Su Lu.

But now, after hearing the details from Jing Su, although still feeling it was unfair to Su Lu, he couldn’t entirely blame Bo Jingshen.

It was just... how should one put it? The timing and circumstances were just not right.

"So..." Jiang Li hesitated, "How should I pass on those messages to him?"

Just thinking of Su Lu’s words made Jiang Li feel they were not very offensive, but they were very hurtful.

"Once he’s better and awake, just tell him," Jing Su said.

Jiang Li stared at him, dumbfounded, thinking he wasn’t helping like a brother should, but rather like an enemy.

"Isn’t that inappropriate?" Jiang Li stammered.

Jing Su’s expression remained calm, almost as if naturally, "’What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.’ If he made such a choice, he should have anticipated the consequences. Even being in critical condition, he managed to make the decision to push people away. Once he wakes up, he certainly won’t be devastated by the words Su Lu wants you to convey. It’s just that..."

...It might hurt quite a bit.

Meanwhile, Shen Xun, while Su Lu was inside talking with Jiang Li, had been outside in the hallway, learning some news from his mother.

Zhao Ying had met with Bo Jingshen and had just received two messages entrusted by Bo Jingshen before bed.

Shen Xun was greatly troubled, "Ms. Zhao, isn’t that inappropriate? Getting involved in your children’s romantic issues isn’t like you."

Zhao Ying shot him a glance, "And you, for your sister’s romantic issues, beat someone up so badly they ended up in the hospital with a bleeding stomach. What did I say to you?"

"Hey, you..." Shen Xun frowned.

Zhao Ying raised an eyebrow, "Am I wrong?"

"No," Shen Xun sighed, still frowning, "But I just feel like, Qianqian is very unhappy."

At that, Zhao Ying’s expression also grew serious, as both mother and son looked solemn.

After a moment, Zhao Ying finally spoke, "If she’s unhappy, let’s just try to appease her. Being unhappy is still better than being unsafe."
