Chapter 280: Chapter 280 I Don’t Regret

"Zhao Tong?" Bo Jingshen’s brow furrowed as he paused with the car keys in hand.

Jiang Li said, "Yes, just..."

"Su Lu’s younger brother."

"Right." Jiang Li, seeing that he knew, didn’t elaborate further. He only glanced at Bo Jingshen before saying, "You’ve just come out, and I thought you needed rest, so I didn’t mention it before. Su Lu, she has..."

Bo Jingshen’s expression was very calm, "The child is mine."

This took Jiang Li by surprise, "You know?! You know?!"

Bo Jingshen turned his head towards Jiang Li, "Of course, I know. Otherwise, why do you think I would fight with Jing Ce to the bitter end?"

Jiang Li was stunned, "I thought it was to... to protect Su Lu. I thought that was your predicament, even Su Lu seemed to know it."

Bo Jingshen glanced at the car keys in his hand and asked, "Where is it parked? Lead the way."

Jiang Li led the way to the parking spot, thinking that Bo Jingshen wouldn’t answer anymore.

Unexpectedly, before they reached the car, Jiang Li heard Bo Jingshen’s voice.

He smiled faintly, a very light laugh, and it was unclear whether it was self-mocking or something else.

"I wanted to protect her and ended up hurting her. I had already done that and made that mistake once during the opening banquet at Boss. How could I possibly make the same mistake twice?"

"Then you..." Jiang Li didn’t understand.

Bo Jingshen suddenly stopped, his eyes slightly downcast, "At that time I felt... no, I was certain that Su Lu wasn’t afraid of danger at all, given the circumstances and how injured I was. I know her character, in that situation, she wouldn’t be scared."

Bo Jingshen lifted his eyelids slightly, "But I was scared." The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, a rather helpless smile on his face, "I happened to find out that she was carrying my child then, the little one who had bravely survived an ectopic pregnancy before. I was scared."

"You..." Jiang Li was at a loss for words.

Bo Jingshen opened the car door, "In that kind of situation, Su Lu wouldn’t be afraid. But if because of this, something happened to the child, she would have that hurdle in her heart for the rest of her life. So it’s better that I make the decision, after all... this isn’t the first time I’ve played the villain."

Jiang Li sighed, "But this way, she might never forgive you. You and her..."

"It doesn’t matter if she hates me, after all, I’ve gotten used to facing hatred over the years." Bo Jingshen sat in the driver’s seat and didn’t intend to continue this topic.

But Jiang Li saw his persistently furrowed brow and knew that Bo Jingshen’s heart was not as calm as he claimed to be.

Jiang Li thought for a moment, feeling like he couldn’t just stop there, and continued to speak, "It should be that Qiao Li under Su Zhe’s command, he’s been doing quite well in Feng City over the years."

Jiang Li thought he should comfort Brother Shen, so he continued, "But compared to you, he just..."

Before he could finish, Bo Jingshen glanced at him sideways, "I’ve been to prison. Ah Li, there’s no need to flatter me forcibly."

Jiang Li’s brow suddenly furrowed, angered by the mention, "But! It’s clearly not your fault! You’re obviously the most innocent!"

Bo Jingshen fell silent for a moment before saying, "Not innocent either, I wished more than anyone that he met a terrible end. If I were to do it, I would do it more ruthlessly, more resolutely, and without leaving any chance of survival."

Jiang Li didn’t know how to persuade him, he could only say, "Anyway, Su Lu will take the child to Three Gardens. Are you... really not planning to see her? And the child? Don’t you want to see? Three Gardens was clearly..."

Before Jiang Li could finish, Bo Jingshen interrupted him, "I have my own measures, you don’t need to worry."

Jiang Li opened his mouth but ended up saying nothing.

Before Bo Jingshen, he always felt a bit like a child, which is why later Bo Jingshen and Jiang Su seemed to have more to talk about. They treated Jiang Li like a younger brother.

Now, having gone through so much, Bo Jingshen was even more mature, and sometimes Jiang Li felt even more unsure how to talk to him.

Yet he didn’t want to remain silent, so he continued with a subdued voice about the matter with Ying Xi.

Bo Jingshen didn’t immediately reply, leading Jiang Li to think he wasn’t interested in the topic.

Unexpectedly, Bo Jingshen did speak up, "I’m a mess myself. If you come to me for advice on emotional matters, I doubt I’ll be of much use."

Not to mention anything else, but that sentence made sense, Jiang Li thought.

But Bo Jingshen still offered advice. He glanced at Jiang Li and said, "Sometimes I don’t want to tell you that sentence, but since you’re asking voluntarily, I won’t hold back."

"Okay, what? What are you saying?" Jiang Li didn’t understand.

Bo Jingshen said, "I’ve told you before."

Jiang Li was stunned. Yes, they had indeed told him before. Both Bo Jingshen and his brother Jiang Su had told him.

Forget the exact wording, but the core idea was similar, just one.

"Don’t get involved with Ying Xi."

Don’t meddle with Ying Xi out of guilt towards Ying Heng. Even if you can provide some economic and career support in secret, don’t get involved with Ying Xi. Don’t enter Ying Xi’s world, don’t step into Ying Xi’s life, don’t disrupt Ying Xi’s living.

Jiang Li didn’t listen.

And now, even Jiang Li himself couldn’t help but think, "See, are you happy now? It’s turned out like this, are you pleased?"

Jiang Li hung his head in silence.

Bo Jingshen watched the road ahead, the brilliant lights rapidly retreating outside the car window. He was amidst the hustle and bustle, yet as lonely as if he were still behind high walls.

Jiang Li, catching sight of his lonely profile, suddenly felt...perhaps Bo Jingshen had never really left prison.

He had already locked himself up in his own prison, and he still kept himself there.

Jiang Li muttered, "Brother Shen, you..."

The lights reflected in Bo Jingshen’s eyes, creating specks of depth and shallowness, his voice calm and faint, "Jiang Li, sometimes when a person makes a certain choice, they have to bear something for that choice. It could likely be pain. You just bear it with clenched teeth, what can you do? You asked for it."

Hearing this, Jiang Li didn’t feel blamed.

Honestly, he didn’t even think Bo Jingshen’s words were really for him. Jiang Li felt Bo Jingshen was speaking more to himself.

All self-inflicted.

Jiang Li asked, "Brother Shen, do you regret it?"

Stopped at the red light, Bo Jingshen turned to look at him quietly and asked, "Have you seen my son?"

Jiang Li paused, answering, "I have."

Bo Jingshen nodded, "Hmm, I don’t."
