Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!

Chapter 308: Chapter 308 Inquire

So Su Lu was so resistant and sensitive when Bo Jingshen held her wrist, possibly glimpsing her wrist wound.

It was because she didn’t want anyone to notice this wound, she didn’t want anyone to know.

She didn’t want to relive that pain ever again.

She didn’t want to revisit how she could be so vulnerable for a man.

She was clearly tough enough to face Su Yukan and his family of three, enduring years of psychological abuse without changing her expression.

This realization made her feel powerless and incapable.

So, if possible, she didn’t want anyone to know, especially Bo Jingshen.

At that time, she had no one to turn to, turning to any relative would have made them incredibly worried and sad, and if she sought Cheng Youran’s help... given the circumstances, Cheng Youran would definitely not have been calm, and it was very likely it would reach Su Zhe.

Then everyone would surely know.

After thinking it over, Su Lu decided she could only ask Gu Xin for help, but Gu Xin wasn’t local at the time.

So, Su Lu turned to Qiao Li.

At least Qiao Li would stay calm, or so Su Lu thought at that time.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Li was anything but calm.

His eyes were even red at the time, and he nearly called Su Zhe immediately, but because he felt sorry for Su Lu’s pitiful look, he held back.

After checking her, he brought back two syringes of lidocaine and a set of suturing tools, and personally stitched up her wound. At that time, Su Lu’s wrist was slashed open, and she was holding a flashlight on her phone for Qiao Li.

It was like a wartime field hospital, a memory that remained vivid.

After all, Qiao Li was medically trained. Even though it had been a while since he’d practiced, muscle memory was there, and he sutured quite skillfully, and the wound healed pretty well.

And indeed, Qiao Li kept it a secret for her.

However, with such a fresh wound on her wrist, it was hard to keep it hidden entirely. Zhao Ying and others ended up knowing about it, but since it wasn’t discovered immediately, many emotions were relatively calmer.

Regardless, Qiao Li was right; there seemed to be nothing worth hiding in front of him, since he was the one who sutured the wound.

"Don’t do this again in the future," Qiao Li gently interlocked her fingers, "I’m not jealous, I just feel pain that you don’t take care of yourself, it hurts so much."

While saying this, Qiao Li paused, then added, "Actually, I am jealous."

Su Lu couldn’t help but smile.

Qiao Li did not stay long in the hospital room, because he wasn’t the child’s guardian, and in principle, he couldn’t stay overnight here. The pediatric department allowed exceptions for parents to stay, but Qiao Li wasn’t the father and he also didn’t want to put too much pressure on Su Lu all at once.

So after staying with her for a little while, he left.

Before leaving, he didn’t forget to tell Su Lu that he would speak to Zhao Ying about Xiao Le’s injury, this might help stabilize Zhao Ying’s emotions a bit.

Although he said this, it wasn’t long after Qiao Li left the hospital.

Zhao Ying’s call came through, and Su Lu, seeing her mother’s number on the phone screen, couldn’t help but gently bite the corner of her lip. She hesitated only momentarily before answering.

"How come Ms. Zhao hasn’t rested so late in the evening..." Su Lu said, her voice carrying a light trace of a smile.

In fact, she was a bit nervous, she was worried that Ms. Zhao might have already found out through some unknown channels, and if this call was coming through now, it surely must be to raise some difficulties.

Even if Zhao Ying doted on her and never lost her temper with her, with such a major incident involving a child, it was unavoidable for there to be a barrage of scoldings.

But Zhao Ying didn’t seem to know about it, her voice sounded quite normal, "Old but vigorous, not tired yet, can hold on a while longer."

Zhao Ying followed her lead and replied humorously.

Su Lu chuckled softly, "I see you just missed me."

"Exactly! I also missed my grandson." Zhao Ying laughed as well.

However, she soon reined in her laughter, her voice and tone became more serious and grave, "Qianqian, after you called me last time, even though you didn’t mean it, I thought about it and still decided to do some checking and asking around."

It took Su Lu a while to react to her mother’s words and then she understood.

Last time it seemed she had talked about Bo Jingshen’s issue with her mother over the phone.

So naturally, what her mother was now talking about having checked and inquired into was also about Bo Jingshen’s issue.

"Is... did you find out anything?" Su Lu asked.

But her feelings were hard to explain, she was torn between curiosity and not wanting to know, quite contradictory.

Zhao Ying also understood her, so she straightforwardly said, "If you want to know, I’ll tell you. If you’re not really interested and don’t want your mood or life to be affected, then pretend I didn’t say anything."

Su Lu was silent for a few seconds, and reluctantly chuckled, "Isn’t that just leaving me hanging?"

"Alright," Su Lu sighed softly, "I’m fine, go ahead."

"Well, I asked around," Zhao Ying started slowly, "although there isn’t much information, it shows that the matter was kept very tight, but I still managed to find out a little."

"The reason Bo Jingshen was put in was under the charge of intentional injury."

"Intentional injury?" Su Lu couldn’t help but question back.

"Mm," Zhao Ying replied, "I heard that at the very beginning, the charge was attempted murder."

Upon hearing this, Su Lu almost couldn’t hold onto the cup in her hand, and it clinked sharply against the saucer.

Su Lu stared blankly, completely in shock, "You... keep going. Who... who was he going to kill? Intentionally injuring... who?"

Although Su Lu had a vague answer in her mind, she still felt it was somewhat unlikely.

After all, even if the relationship was not good, the bond of blood was there, and blood ties, sometimes useless, but sometimes quite powerful.

Just like her with Zhao Ying, and Shen Xun, blood ties were still quite meaningful.

Zhao Ying gave her a definite answer, "Who else could it be, the old fox of the Jing Family, Jing Ce. He has been schemingly active for most of his life, always thinking he could control everything, always overly confident, thinking he had everything under control and could manipulate situations, and in the end, he fell into a ditch..."

Despite such a description, and despite Jing Ce not being a person of good virtue,

Intentional injury was already quite terrifying, after all, with Su Lu’s thinking and actions, she would absolutely never conceive of engaging in law-breaking activities. If it were attempted murder... that would also be too exaggerated.

She felt dry-mouthed and couldn’t help but confirmatively ask, "So... so you mean to say... so you’re saying, Bo Jingshen... wanted to kill Jing Ce, and because he didn’t kill him, it turned into attempted murder?"

"It was judged as intentional harm," Zhao Ying stated, "and I also found out upon asking around, there are words saying Bo Jingshen took the blame for someone else."
