Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!

Chapter 309: Chapter 309: Hear说

"I heard?" Su Lu was shocked!

It was mainly because the matter sounded so inconceivable.

"How can it be just ’heard’?" Su Lu’s eyebrows furrowed tightly, her voice serious, "Isn’t that something that should be conclusively decided in court? If it was heard that someone else took the blame, shouldn’t the charges not fall on him?"

Zhao Ying smiled helplessly, "Qianqian, darling, you are too naive. In this world, there is no absolute black or white. Naturally, there’s no absolute certainty about whom the blame falls on."

It was too likely for someone else to take the blame.

Su Lu fell silent, yes, that was how it was with Su Yukan who had beaten her so badly. Later, when Su Zhe came back and saw her condition, he called the police. But Su Yukan just had someone else take the blame since although she was hurt at the time, it was not considered a serious injury. The person who took the blame had a large sum of money from Su Yukan for compensation, so he was even released after just a few days in custody.

Not to mention, Su Lu had also heard about even more absurd things, such as Ying Heng, who had been Jiang Li’s lover.

He even lost his life. It was actually Jiang Li’s father who had hired someone to teach Ying Heng a lesson, to show him some colors, but things went wrong and resulted in death.

Although these hired individuals were penalized by the law, because Jiang Li’s father had provided enough money, none of them turned him in, and the matter was considered settled there.

That was a human life after all.

Aren’t there many such cases...

"But if that’s the case..." Su Lu pursed her lips, "then I don’t understand."

Zhao Ying knew her confusion, "You mean, even Bo Jingshen has so much money, why would it have come to this point?"

"Yes." Su Lu looked somewhat dejected, "He earns so much money, isn’t it just to avoid being placed in a passive situation?"

Isn’t it just to allow himself more choices?

Zhao Ying said, "I heard, and I only heard it, that there were two other people at the scene, one was his biological mother, and the other was his half-sister. I think, perhaps he couldn’t bear to let either of them take the blame."

Su Lu thought for a moment, "Half-sister... Jing Ruo?"

"No, another one named Jing Qiao. This girl had it tough. I heard she was arranged by Jing Ce to marry into the Song Family years ago, but somehow, probably because she was disobedient or something, ended up being sent to a Psychiatric Hospital. It’s only in recent years she finally got out, so I find the previous claim more believable."

Zhao Ying spoke very rationally and objectively, "After all, if it was Jing Qiao who did it, in fact, technically speaking, Jing Qiao might not be held responsible because she was released from a Psychiatric Hospital."

Su Lu finally understood somewhat and muttered, "But she would definitely be locked up again, right..."

If that was really the case, Jing Ce was truly ruthless; that was his own daughter, after all.

Zhao Ying hummed in affirmation, "And about the Psychiatric Hospital Jing Qiao was locked in, I know it fairly well, if there really was an intent to kill, a patient charged with attempted murder wouldn’t expect to leave that hospital again."

If that was the case, Bo Jingshen taking the blame for her, though improbable, had some logical basis within the improbability.

Zhao Ying thought for a moment, "I speculate, and this is just my own speculation, that Bo Jingshen taking the blame was undoubtedly the best solution at the time, because even if Jing Ce, the Old Fox, is ruthless and malicious, he would still grant some leeway to his heirs."

"If it weren’t for Bo Jingshen taking the blame, there were also his mother and his sister at the scene at that time. If it had been his sister, she definitely would have been locked up without hope of release. If it had been his mother, she absolutely should not expect to receive Jing Ce’s forgiveness. On the other hand, since it was Bo Jingshen who took the blame, due to the indulgence toward him, Jing Ce forgave him and he even received a lighter sentence."

It must be said that experience counts for a lot; Zhao Ying’s conjecture had virtually hit the nail on the head.

However, what Zhao Ying didn’t guess was that at that time, Bo Jingshen was collaborating with Jing Su in arranging his own scheming, preparing to deal with Jing Ce, and actually at that time, being locked up was... going to a relatively isolated, safe place.

Moreover, being in an isolated place, he had fewer chances to be spied on, which meant fewer weaknesses were exposed.

At that time, he was very concerned about Su Lu and the child’s safety; he absolutely could not let Jing Ce know about their existence, and he wasn’t able to ensure that he could resist going to see them.

So after weighing his options, he took the blame. It was a carefully considered decision after weighing the pros and cons, which, while somewhat inappropriate, was, in some ways, also reasonable.

Su Lu held her phone, somewhat dazed.

Seeing that she was not speaking, Zhao Ying smiled and said, "I thought you’d be curious, so I asked around. If this upsets you so much, I’d really feel bad."

"It’s not that..." Su Lu said, sighing softly, "Mom, why is the world so unpredictable?"

"Yes, every parent is different; there are people like us, and there are people like Old Fox Jing. There’s nothing strange about it. The world is full of wonders. So no matter what happens, Mom hopes you take care of yourself first, stay calm, and don’t be too upset," Zhao Ying advised gently in a soothing voice.

Her gentle words immediately made one feel warmth in their hearts.

Su Lu obediently responded.

But her next words were not so warming.

She had thought about waiting for Qiao Li to discuss this matter with Ms. Zhao, but after thinking it over, Su Lu felt that even though she was worried her mother would worry too much, it was better for her to speak for herself.

Having someone else speak for her seemed to show her own lack of responsibility.

"Mom, there’s something I need to tell you, but you have to promise not to get too angry or too worried," Su Lu began.

She only started to speak.

It must be said, her mother was truly sharp. After all, there was a reason she had been a formidable businesswoman in Beijing for so many years.

As soon as Su Lu started, Zhao Ying’s voice suddenly became serious and urgent, asking, "What is it? Have you and Bo Jingshen made up? Are you hurt or sick? Or is Xiao Le hurt or sick?"

It was clear that in Zhao Ying’s eyes, nothing was more important than her daughter’s mood, her daughter’s safety, and her grandson’s safety.

Su Lu felt a bit helpless but warmed inside.

"It’s Xiao Le," Su Lu said. "He had an allergic reaction."

Zhao Ying on the other end breathed a sigh of relief. "Why didn’t you say so earlier, you scared me. Isn’t he always allergic to mangoes? Did he accidentally come into contact with one?"

"Yes," Su Lu responded. After cautiously pondering for a few seconds, she continued, "He had an allergic reaction that caused swelling in the throat and difficulty breathing, so they had to make an incision in his neck."
