Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!
Chapter 266: Absent-minded

Chapter 266: Chapter 266: Absent-minded

"...how do you feel about it?" Su Zhe turned his head, only to see Su Lu gazing blankly out the window.

They had stopped at a red light, so he reached over and snapped his fingers near Su Lu’s ear.

"Huh?" Su Lu came back to her senses, "What? What happened?"

"What happened, I should be asking you that," Su Zhe frowned as he looked at her, "Why are you so distracted?"

"Oh, just... a bit tired." Su Lu didn’t elaborate, simply offering a smile as she asked, "What were you saying? I wasn’t listening carefully, sorry."

Su Zhe was usually patient with her, unlike how he would have reacted if Zhao Tong had been so absent-minded during their conversation; he would have inevitably flicked him on the back of his head.

But when it was Su Lu, Su Zhe merely glared at her briefly before repeating what he had said earlier with good temper.

He planned to accept the inheritance from Su Yukan.

Su Lu had no objections, nodding, "You’re his only son, if not you, who else would inherit it?"

Su Lu had no opinion on the matter, especially since she had never been interested in Su Yukan’s wealth.

"Also, the portion he planned to give you, I won’t give it to you either," Su Zhe said, "Mainly because, after everything that’s happened before, I feel you guys won’t truly enjoy having his wealth. And if it were a matter of you lacking money, but both of you don’t lack such things. So, whatever portion he intended for you two, I’ll make it up to you gradually."

This indeed wasn’t Su Zhe trying to hoard what was meant for her and Zhao Tong; he truly believed it from his heart.

And his belief was indeed correct, neither Zhao Tong nor Su Lu were interested in the part Su Yukan had intended to leave them.

"The main thing is, if he were just giving money it would be one thing. Now he’s suddenly seen the error of his ways, reaching this stage, and he’s started wishing for his children’s warmth and care," Zhao Tong didn’t even look up from his phone as he spoke.

"He actually hopes that I and Su Lu would visit him frequently, what a joke? What would I even say if I visited him?" Zhao Tong scoffed coldly, "It’s too late now."

If Su Yukan hadn’t gone too far, even with the sentimental ties of having been raised by the Su Family from a young age, Zhao Tong wouldn’t have been this unsympathetic.

Su Lu said, "I never planned to take what he left for me, and brother, you don’t have to give me anything in the future either, I don’t need it."

"Whether you need it or not is your business, whether I give it or not is a mark of my affection, so don’t worry about it. I don’t want you to feel aggrieved," Su Zhe said.

In recent years, the gifts he had presented to both Su Lu and Zhao Tong on their birthdays were no small sum.

Even though they weren’t blood-related, they would always be siblings for life, he would always be their elder brother and naturally, he would always cherish them.

"Alright, anyway, I have no objections," Su Lu concluded, then once again looked out the window, her gaze drifting far, becoming distracted again.

Noticing her unusual behavior, Su Zhe didn’t keep trying to engage her, but instead started chatting with Zhao Tong.

Zhao Tong then brought up Ying Xi’s plan to break his contract.

Su Zhe raised an eyebrow, "So you plan to introduce Luo Ao to him, to help him fight the contract termination in court?"

"Yeah," Zhao Tong nodded, "Sigh, it’s not like we can just watch Ying Xi be at a disadvantage, right? He has contributed so much to Lie Ying, and was even injured that badly; no matter what... he at least shouldn’t suffer too much loss over this, right?"

Su Zhe wasn’t interested in why Ying Xi wanted to cancel his membership. Hearing Zhao Tong’s words, he simply thought and suggested in an official manner, "Your dad’s lawyer is ultimately based in Beijing, and his practice is there. Beijing is his turf, really coming to Feng City may not offer him that much of an advantage. I’ll have Chen Mo take his case; Chen Mo is very good in this area. Besides, Feng City is his home turf as well."

Zhao Tong’s eyes lit up, "Alright! Thanks, bro! I’ll talk to Xiao Xi about it later."

Then Zhao Tong didn’t plan to go back with them. Instead, he planned to stay over at Ying Xi’s place.

Meanwhile, Su Lu returned to her original residence, the apartment that Cheng Youran had bought for her, which originally belonged to her.

Su Zhe had an apartment in that neighborhood too, so he didn’t bother returning to the Su Residence in the outskirts but went straight there instead.

It wasn’t until she saw Su Zhe getting out of the car with her that Su Lu snapped out of her daze, belatedly asking in realization, "Huh? Brother, you’re not going back?"

Su Zhe sighed softly, "So, everything I said on the road was for nothing? I said I would also stay around here; after all, I have an apartment here that I’ve always kept clean. Even Zhao Xiaole must have heard me say that, you..."

Su Lu touched her nose and smiled helplessly, "Sorry, brother, I was zoning out."

"I know you zoned out, I saw that you zoned out, you’ve been zoning out the entire way." Su Zhe took the child, already asleep in her arms, "Let me carry him. I’ll take you upstairs, and you can tell me properly what happened. What made you like this after a trip to the hospital? It can’t be just Su Yukan’s family of three that got you like this."

Su Lu reached out to touch Zhao Xiaole’s head. Zhao Xiaole was deeply asleep, his tender little face exceptionally serene and soft, extremely adorable.

Watching his small face, Su Lu’s eyes seemed empty, as if she were looking through him at someone else.

Who else could it be?

Su Zhe’s brow furrowed instantly, "Is it that you..." Su Zhe didn’t finish his question but changed the subject, "Never mind, it’s my fault. I knew you didn’t vibe with the atmosphere in Feng City, I shouldn’t have let you come along. There’s nothing much over here anyway; you should go back to Beijing."

Su Lu shook her head, "I’m fine, it’s not that serious. I’m already here, and besides, Zhao Xiaole is waiting for me to take him out. He’s been longing to visit the Ocean Park water park and amusement park in Feng City."

Su Zhe didn’t say anything, just quietly watched her, silently gazing.

Feeling his gaze on her made her very uneasy. She sighed helplessly, her voice soft, "Sigh, fine, I’ll just say it."

"Go on."

"Today at the hospital, I ran into Jiang Li," Su Lu said.

"Jiang Er? Oh, what did he say to you?" Su Zhe thought for a moment, "I remember more than five years ago you even had him deliver a message, right?"

"Yes." Su Lu nodded, managing a wry smile while looking downward, "So it was quite... quite a coincidence, wasn’t it?"

"A coincidence my ass, no need to think, he must have come on purpose to bump into you, right?" Su Zhe said.

Her guess was spot on; Su Lu smiled helplessly.

Su Zhe continued to ask, "What did he say?" He paused, then added, "Did he talk about Bo Jingshen?"

"Yes." Su Lu nodded, "He said Bo Jingshen went to jail."
