Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!
Chapter 256: You Too?

Chapter 256: Chapter 256: You Too?

Su Zhe was waiting at the entrance of the hospital, his expression even darker than Su Lu’s. Moreover, he was dressed in a black shirt, which made him look all the more somber and stern.

"Arrived? Have you eaten?" Su Zhe came forward to pull open the car door for them, then asked.

"We’ve eaten, what about you?"

"Not in the mood."

"I knew you wouldn’t be in the mood." Su Lu said, taking out a plastic bag, "I brought some for you."

A smile finally appeared on Su Zhe’s face as he unbuckled the safety seat and lifted Zhao Xiaole out, while complaining, "Why bring the child here? It’s not exactly a nice place."

"What was I supposed to do, leave him at home alone?" Su Lu said. "Besides, he wanted to see where You Ran works."

"Yes, yes," Zhao Xiaole nodded vigorously, echoing Su Lu’s words, "So Uncle, don’t blame Su Xiaolu."

"Fine, fine, I’ll listen to you, little rascal with big ideas." Whenever Su Zhe saw Zhao Xiaole, no amount of somber sternness on his face could withstand the boy’s charms, melting into tenderness.

Su Zhe carried the boy, ready to enter, with Su Lu following behind him.

Cheng Youran then parked the car and followed them. By the time she caught up, Su Zhe had already finished his breakfast.

"Let’s go, he’s staying in the VIP ward over there." Cheng Youran led them towards it.

The hospital was already a private institution with excellent environment, and naturally, the conditions in the VIP ward were even better.

Cheng Youran led them all the way to the door of a ward.

Su Lu and Su Zhe’s expressions, even with Zhao Xiaole present, were past the point of being lighten up.

"Well..." Cheng Youran also noticed that the pair had turned into gloomy facades, so she reached out to take the child from Su Zhe’s arms, "I’ll take Zhao Xiaole to my office first. You can come directly to my office when you’re done here."

Neither Su Zhe nor Su Lu had any objections, clearly not wanting Zhao Xiaole to have any interaction with that troublesome family.

Zhao Xiaole looked at his uncle and mother with concern, "Sigh, looks like there need to be lots of tasty treats tonight to cheer you both up, or today is going to be hard..."

Cheng Youran smiled and carried Zhao Xiaole away.

Su Lu and Su Zhe stood at the door of the ward, both seemingly unable to make a move to push the door open.

It wasn’t a still picture, but there they stood, motionless, until the door was opened...

by someone from inside.

A middle-aged woman in a blue uniform pulled open the door from inside.

Su Lu had been hospitalized here before, so she recognized at a glance that this was the uniform worn by the hospital’s caregivers.

The person must be Su Yukan’s caregiver, and her expression when she opened the door was somewhat unhappy, as if she had been suffering in silence. She was taken aback to see two people standing outside, and her facial expression did not have a chance to change immediately.

A moment later, she politely asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"

An impatient female voice came from inside the room, "What’s the hold-up? Who’s there? Why do you have so many complaints or move so slowly when I ask you to do something? I’m paying you!"

This made it clear why the caregiver had that unhappy, suffocated look on her face upon opening the door.

Who could be happy upon hearing such words?

Su Lu and Su Zhe glanced at each other, having both recognized the voice—it was Su Jiao’s.

To be honest, it had been so long since Su Lu had heard the voices of this family of three. He had thought he had forgotten them long ago but, unexpectedly, upon hearing them again, he could instantly identify them.

He didn’t know which unpleasant memories had been brought by them in the past, that even identifying their voices seemed to have formed a muscle memory of sorts.

Complaining indignantly, Su Jiao was walking toward the entrance when she lifted her eyes and saw the two people standing at the door. The expressions of impatience on her face hadn’t had time to dissipate, and her eyes were already filled with shock.

After five years of settlement and accumulation, Su Jiao seemed to have lost some of the arrogance and willfulness of the past, yet the unpleasant sharpness about her remained.

She stared at Su Lu and Su Zhe, mouth agape, but no sound came out.

After a while, she found her voice, which even sounded somewhat shrill, and she called out loudly, "Mom—!"

"What are you shouting about?" Zhu Xinyan’s voice came from inside, followed by the sound of somewhat shuffling footsteps.

Soon enough, Zhu Xinyan appeared before them.

She had aged, and although she surely maintained good self-care, the signs of time on her face were evident, no longer carrying the air of a lady who had been untouched by the years.

It was clear that Zhu Xinyan had not had a comfortable few years.

She, too, saw Su Zhe and Su Lu, and her gaze was instantly filled with shock, "You... why have you come?!"

From Zhu Xinyan’s tone, perhaps she did not know that Su Yukan wished for their visit.

Zhu Xinyan continued, "What do you mean by this?! You’ve caused such misery to the Su Family! You still have the face to show up? How come the moment your father has an issue, you swarm around like flies attracted to a scent?"

Su Zhe raised his eyebrows, obviously somewhat taken aback.

Indeed, neither he nor Su Lu had expected this situation.

So much so that Su Zhe’s face, which had been somber, now displayed a hint of pleasure—not real delight, but more like a nerve called interest had been gently stirred.

"Interesting," Su Zhe uttered lightly.

Su Jiao, standing behind her mother, couldn’t help but shiver.

Perhaps because she had been quite afraid of her older brother since childhood, the enthusiastic tone in his words now filled her with the sensation that she was watching a large beast toy with its prey.

"Mom... stop talking," Su Jiao advised softly.

But Zhu Xinyan couldn’t stop, probably because Su Yukan’s downfall had triggered her most vulnerable nerve, causing all her emotions to become uncontrollable.

Rationality was put in the least visible place.

Ignoring her daughter’s advice, Zhu Xinyan continued, "Why should I stop talking? Did I say something wrong? How many years has it been? Have they made an appearance? Have they ever treated us like family? Have they ever treated your dad like a father? Now that your dad is down and in danger, they buzz here attracted by the scent?"

"Why should they?! Moreover, if it hadn’t been for his utter ruthlessness back then, would our family’s company be in its current state? If your father hadn’t been so vexed and troubled by the company, he wouldn’t have suddenly suffered a stroke and collapsed!"

Su Zhe said calmly, "Ms. Zhu, I believe I have always made myself very clear—I have never, never considered you as family."

Su Zhe paused, lifting his gaze to look at her coldly, and scoffed, "You think you’re worthy?"
