250: Chapter 250 Jiang Li 250: Chapter 250 Jiang Li “He couldn’t possibly be here to pick you up,” Cheng Yan said.
Yan Sui couldn’t help but glance at Cheng Yan.
His words really hit hard—was it a low EQ or just a low EQ?
But what Yan Sui did not expect was that after Cheng Yan said this, Bo Jingshen’s expression did not beco dejected.
Instead, he smiled and said, “That’s true.”
As long as he wasn’t here to pick him up, it was fine.
“So you don’t need to worry,” Cheng Yan added.
Yan Sui said helplessly, “Can’t you offer so comfort?”
Cheng Yan shrugged, “Isn’t that what I’m doing?”
Yan Sui was at a loss for words—did he call this comforting?
But from Bo Jingshen’s reaction, this was perhaps truly comforting.
Gradually, Yan Sui also realized that it might indeed be comforting.
In Yan Sui’s opinion, if Su Lu had co to Feng City to pick him up, it would have been comforting for Bo Jingshen.
But clearly, in reality, Su Lu was unaware of all this and wasn’t here to pick him up.
To him, that was probably comforting.
Who wouldn’t want to show their best side in front of their loved ones, instead of this…?
The visit ended, and Yan Sui and Cheng Yan watched as the guards prepared to take Bo Jingshen back, leaving Yan Sui feeling sowhat sorrowful.
The guard said, “Alright, the day after tomorrow he’ll be able to go out and walk in the sunshine.”
Bo Jingshen looked calm again, accepting the current situation without distress.
Yan Sui and Cheng Yan went outside and saw Jiang Li waiting.
Jiang Li wasn’t sitting in the car; he was standing outside in the hot weather, talking on the phone.
“Okay, I know.
I will co to pick you up,” he hurriedly said to the person on the other end of the phone as he saw Yan Sui and Cheng Yan coming out, then he hung up.
“How is he?” Jiang Li asked.
“Is he okay?”
“Quite alright.
He’s lost a lot of weight, though,” Yan Sui said.
Jiang Li was stunned, “Why?
Is he sick?”
Cheng Yan glanced sideways at Yan Sui and then told Jiang Li, “Don’t listen to his nonsense.
He hasn’t lost weight, he’s about the sa as the last ti I visited.”
Yan Sui chuckled, “He’s lost quite a bit of weight compared to the last ti I saw him, though.”
Jiang Li: “…”
The last ti Yan Sui saw him was a long ti ago.
How could it be the sa?
With the living conditions and environnt here, it would be strange if he had gained weight.
On the way back to the city from the detention center, Jiang Li was driving and couldn’t stop thinking about what he had learned from Yan Sui—that Su Lu had already co to Feng City.
“Should I…
find out more about it?
She hasn’t been back for many years.
What if she’s co back because of Bo Jingshen?” Jiang Li wondered aloud.
Cheng Yan said, “Mind your own business.
I heard that Su Yukan had a stroke and was hospitalized; if she’s co back, it’s probably because of that.”
And Cheng Yan felt that Bo Jingshen might not want them to disturb Su Lu.
Jiang Li was anxious and remained quiet all the way.
However, when he got ho, he did ask Jiang Su to help find out more about the Su Family.
Jiang Su didn’t make any inquiries, as he already had so news about it.
“Su Yukan indeed had a stroke.”
“Really?
How do you know?” Jiang Li asked.
Jiang Su was silent for a mont on the other end before he said softly, “Because he’s staying in the sa hospital as Dad.
If you’re willing to visit Dad, you would know.”
“…” Jiang Li was also silent for a mont before speaking again, his voice colder than before, “I’m not willing.
And why should I?
He has always looked down on , despised .
He probably doesn’t want to see .
Even if he did, it would just remind again of what a ‘freak’ he thinks I am in his eyes.”
Jiang Su: “…”
Jiang Su was really at a loss for words.
Their father was like that by nature—sowhat chauvinistic, quite stubborn, especially hard on the outside.
His heart had softened a long ti ago, but he couldn’t let go of his pride.
Because of the incident with Ying Heng, Jiang Li had held a grudge, and when they t, his words were surely not gentle or polite.
Their father was obstinate, not showing any weakness, so their encounters were always tense and confrontational.
The father’s words would turn unpleasant because, despite knowing that he could not change Jiang Li’s sexual orientation, he still couldn’t accept it calmly.
So in anger, he would often make sarcastic remarks.
The word ‘freak’ ca up far too often, and to tell the truth, it was hurtful.
Jiang Su knew that even hearing this from a stranger would be painful.
If soone said in his presence that his brother was a ‘freak,’ Jiang Su would turn hostile.
But there was nothing he could do when it ca from their own father.
He felt both exasperated and sympathetic for his brother.
So at the mont, when Jiang Li said those words, Jiang Su found himself speechless.
It was clear that their father was getting older and actually quite missed his younger son, but he was hard-headed, stubborn, and unwilling to lower his pride.
This hospitalization was due to a cardiovascular problem; he had been hospitalized before for similar reasons, and this ti he needed a minimally invasive surgery through the blood vessels.
Why wouldn’t he want to see his son?
But he was too stubborn.
The last ti he was hospitalized for a cardiovascular problem, no matter what, Jiang Li couldn’t ignore his hospitalized father, so he imdiately went to visit.
But unfortunately, that day, other relatives and friends also ca to visit, and he happened to run into them.
If it had been just the three of them—father and sons—Jiang Su felt that with his diation, the relationship between his brother and father should have eased a bit.
But there were outsiders present that day, and their father, already sowhat chauvinistic, naturally cared more about keeping up appearances in front of these relatives, and his attitude beca even harder.
Thus, he made Jiang Li lose face right there with very unpleasant words.
Words like ‘freak’ and ‘abnormal’ were not scarce, but Jiang Li indeed wanted to ease the relationship with his father, so even with difficulty, he bore it.
But what did their father say at that ti…
Jiang Su felt that the phrase “taking an inch and wanting a mile” was quite apt.
Right in front of the relatives, with their father wanting to save face, and seeing Jiang Li not responding to his taunts, their father actually brought up Ying Heng’s death as an issue.
Jiang Su still rembered how their father, with a hint of sarcasm, said in front of the relatives, “If you ask , it’s because he did too many wrongful things, so he deserved his fate.
I paid him to be a bodyguard, yet he led my son astray.
He deserved to die!”
Then, the emotions Jiang Li had been suppressing exploded instantly.
The scene turned extrely ugly.
Jiang Li didn’t leave any face for anyone in front of the relatives, not for his father nor for himself.
Jiang Su still rembered how his brother, whom he had always cherished since childhood, repeatedly said in front of so many relatives, ‘Yes!
I, Jiang Li, am a freak!
From now on, just pretend there’s no such person in the Jiang family!
Save yourselves from having a freak like !
Dirtying the noble Jiang family!
What’s wrong with being a bodyguard?!
How is it beneath you just because he works on his own skills?!’
