Chapter 351: Chapter 351: Not Acquainted

Zhuang Cai Nan was brought to the camping site, and Su Lu moved a chair for her, but after thinking it over...

"You should come with me to the tent," Su Lu said.

Zhuang Cai Nan noticed too, the wounds on her face, her torn clothes, her current ragged state were all too conspicuous, too eye-catching.

She couldn’t help but glance at Su Lu.

Time changes, so many years had passed.

Zhuang Cai Nan felt somewhat bewildered, for she had never really understood, nor had she intended to understand this woman. She had just been unable to fathom, feeling resentful, why this woman was able to receive all of Bo Jingshen’s affection.

Why couldn’t she?

Years had gone by, and now she was seeing Su Lu again under such embarrassing circumstances.

Instead, Zhuang Cai Nan could now take a good look at Su Lu, who was undoubtedly beautiful.

No matter if it was years ago or now, time hadn’t eroded any of her beauty, as if it had been especially gentle with her.

Not only that, she was also attentive.

"To avoid others constantly looking this way and making you uncomfortable. Let’s go into the tent, I’ll find some clothes for you to wear, and there’s a small electric fan inside, so it won’t be too hot," Su Lu said.

"Thank you," Zhuang Cai Nan said softly, her voice slightly hoarse.

Su Lu nodded, lifted the tent curtain, and let her in.

Zhuang Cai Nan had barely entered when Su Lu came in with an ice pack, "Apply some ice, it will help with the swelling."

"Thank you," Zhuang Cai Nan said again.

"It’s nothing."

Su Lu took out a small first-aid kit, "It’s good that the people in the next tent had brought a first-aid kit with them. I accidentally cut my finger just now, and they lent it to me. Now, it can be of use to you as well. We can buy it directly."

Su Lu took out a small tube of ointment and a cotton swab, "You can’t see the wounds on your face well to apply it properly, let me help you."

Naturally, Zhuang Cai Nan had no objections and nodded.

Su Lu sat down next to her and carefully applied the ointment to the wounds on her face, the distance between them was very close.

So close that Zhuang Cai Nan could clearly see every detail of Su Lu’s features, every single eyelash.

"Why don’t you... ask anything?" Zhuang Cai Nan couldn’t help but ask.

Su Lu was taken aback for a moment, her movements paused, "What should I ask?" Su Lu pondered for a while, "We’re not close, and if I were to ask abruptly, it would be a bit impolite, wouldn’t it?"

Zhuang Cai Nan couldn’t help but laugh, "Others wouldn’t care about being impolite. Faced with such a situation, who could resist being curious or gossiping?"

Su Lu thought for a moment, then replied with a light smile, "Maybe that’s because they’ve never experienced anything like this. What’s that saying again?"

"Once you’ve seen the ocean, other waters seem insignificant?" Zhuang Cai Nan said.

Su Lu nodded, "Yes, exactly that."

Su Lu continued to apply the ointment, "Don’t worry, the police have arrived, and Bo Jingshen has gone to explain the situation; it will be alright."

Zhuang Cai Nan didn’t speak.

Su Lu also didn’t continue speaking, respectfully honoring the other’s silence.

After a moment, Zhuang Cai Nan finally spoke softly, "Are you and Bo Jingshen... back together?"

"Not yet," Su Lu was very straightforward—if there was, there was, and if not, there wasn’t.

She didn’t even take into account that this woman once coveted Bo Jingshen very much. To Su Lu, there was nothing to be concerned about.

The older she got, the more she understood a principle: what’s yours is yours no matter what, and what’s not will never come to you no matter how much you long for it.

"But that child..." Zhuang Cai Nan hesitated.

"He’s my son," Su Lu looked up at Zhuang Cai Nan, "strictly speaking, legally speaking, he has no relationship with Bo Jingshen."

Zhuang Cai Nan smiled helplessly, "There will always be a relationship."

To that, Su Lu did not disagree.

It seemed that now that Zhuang Cai Nan understood what she was curious about, what she wanted to know, she then said, "Not everyone is like you, who can meet a good man like Bo Jingshen."

Su Lu still said nothing.

Zhuang Cai Nan continued, "But I can’t always set my standards to find a man like Bo Jingshen, can I? Otherwise, wouldn’t I be destined to be alone my whole life?"

She laughed at herself, "Sometimes friends would set me up, and sometimes I’d meet someone on my own. In any case, there were no lasting relationships. The guy just now, I met him at a friend’s gathering, we were still in the stage of getting to know each other. This time, we agreed to go camping together, I never expected he would do such a thing."

"Appearances can be deceiving," Su Lu said, "Especially after people drink. Alcohol is sometimes like a demon-revealing mirror."

Su Lu had already applied ointment on her, and then took out a thin jacket for her, "I didn’t bring much clothing, just this jacket. Wrap it around yourself, it should be enough to cover you."

"Okay, thank you," Zhuang Cai Nan took the jacket and put it on.

She saw Su Lu turn around to tidy up the used cotton swabs and balls, then heard Su Lu, with her back to her, say, "The good man you think of can also hurt people. You didn’t see how he once hurt me, you also saw how he beat up that guy today. So, don’t set too high a standard for Bo Jingshen in your heart; don’t hold yourself back."

Zhuang Cai Nan didn’t say anything.

But as she listened to Su Lu, she also couldn’t help but think of the day when Bo Jingshen announced his engagement at Yunding. Su Lu had been stopped outside the banquet hall, that lonely figure.

Dressed so beautifully, in a lovely gown and delicate makeup, she looked more stunning than a porcelain doll. Yet standing outside the banquet hall, she appeared like an abandoned child.

So lonely.

Hence, Zhuang Cai Nan remained silent.

Bo Jingshen quickly finished giving his statement and came back, "How is it going?"

"I’ve finished applying the medicine. They seem to be superficial wounds. But if you want to be sure, she should still go to the hospital for a check-up. After all, there’s a bump on her head that could be a concern," Su Lu said.

Bo Jingshen thought for a moment, "Then you talk to her later about it."

Su Lu was incredulous, her eyes widened, blinking, "Me talk?"

She pointed at herself.

Bo Jingshen nodded, "Of course, you. Didn’t you just get to know her a bit?"

Su Lu shook her head, "Not really!"

How well could they get to know each other in the time it took to apply some medicine?

"Shouldn’t you be the one to talk?" Su Lu asked.

But Bo Jingshen just shrugged helplessly, "I am really not too familiar with her, haven’t seen her in years."

Su Lu was at a loss for words, "Still, she’s your friend..."

Then she saw Bo Jingshen beckoning, "Lebao, come here. You go tell that auntie inside, say that though her injuries are not serious, it’s safer to go to the hospital for a check-up, it’s best to get a medical report. It’s more useful for the police..."
