Chapter 388: Chapter 388
Su Lu suddenly turned her gaze toward the person speaking, recognizing them instantly.
This was the person she had seen with Bo Jingshen in that coffee shop after returning to Feng City, seated together at the ti.
Young and beautiful, with a delicate and lancholic air that was irresistibly pitiable. Even Su Lu felt this way upon seeing her.
At that ti, Su Lu had assud this was Bo Jingshen’s new fla, since it hadn’t been long since Bo Jingshen had been released, and he was eting this young woman so soon, she must be soone important.
Of course, the relationship between Su Lu and Bo Jingshen had evolved from her initial indifference, to a relative calm, and now to a harmonious one.
Su Lu also knew that this young woman wasn’t Bo Jingshen’s new love, but one of his step-sisters—Jing Qiao.
Honestly, when Su Lu found out she was his step-sister,
she had half-jokingly and half-seriously asked him: “Just how many ‘good sisters’ do you have?”
Bo Jingshen’s answer at the ti was: “I don’t know.”
He really didn’t know; who knew how many illegitimate children soone like Jing Ce had left behind? After all, he himself was one of Jing Ce’s illegitimate children.
Bo Jingshen had never believed that his mother, Zhou Xiaochu, would be Jing Ce’s only affair.
Thus, he certainly wouldn’t be Jing Ce’s only illegitimate child.
And so, there were Jing Ruo, Jing Qiao.
Actually, if there ca a Jing One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, even enough to form a football team, Bo Jingshen wouldn’t be surprised.
At this mont, as Su Lu turned her eyes, she saw this young, lovely woman with a fragile, lancholic deanor, standing beside her, her autumn-water-like eyes calm and gentle, the undertone a light lancholy, but that calmness was the indifference of soone who has weathered the vicissitudes of life.
“…I’m not doing any sales,” Jing Qiao said with a light smile, thinking Su Lu had misunderstood.
“I know,” Su Lu smiled faintly and, following Jing Qiao’s suggestion, swapped the cake mix in her hand for another pack, “Thank you.”
Jing Qiao then looked at Su Lu, and her gaze beca even gentler as she glanced at Zhao Xiaole, who sat in the child seat of the shopping cart.
Of course, she recognized that the woman was Su Lu, her brother’s most beloved, and the child curiously looking at her from the child seat was her brother’s son, her nephew, Xiao Le.
Jing Qiao gave Zhao Xiaole an exceptionally tender smile, and Zhao Xiaole smiled back, inexplicably feeling this aunt’s gentleness.
Jing Qiao noticed Su Lu’s shopping list on her screen and realized she planned to bake cakes and cookies, so she volunteered, “Let help you choose; I used to be a pastry chef.”
Su Lu gladly accepted, seeing that Jing Qiao did not intend to reveal her identity, and was willing to play along, treating her as just another kind soul.
The exchange was congenial.
After Jing Qiao had helped Su Lu select all the baking materials, they said goodbye to each other.
After parting ways, Jing Qiao sent Bo Jingshen a ssage.
“Brother, I saw Su Lu.”
“Where?”
“In the supermarket. I ca here to shop for so things and ran into her buying baking supplies, so I helped her choose. I touched Xiao Le’s little face; it’s so soft, he’s so cute!”
Bo Jingshen’s heart softened when he read Jing Qiao’s ssage, knowing full well what Su Lu was buying baking supplies for.
Bo Jingshen, holding his newly switched phone, thought for a mont and sent a ssage back to Jing Qiao.
“She recognizes you. You’re pretending not to know her, and she’s just playing along.”
“!!!”
Jing Qiao was a bit nervous, “Bro, I didn’t cause any trouble for you, right?”
She, of course, knew about the things between Bo Jingshen and Su Lu.
Her brother was already trying to repair his relationship with Su Lu, and she couldn’t allow her previous presumption to spoil everything.
“It’s nothing,” Bo Jingshen replied with two words.
If it had been at the very beginning, Bo Jingshen would have found Jing Qiao ddleso, but now, he was no longer that worried.
Bo Jingshen thought for a mont, rembering he had been possibly stalked earlier, and added another ssage, “Better to go out less recently, if you’re missing anything, tell my assistant, and he can bring it to you.”
After not continuing to ssage Jing Qiao, Bo Jingshen sent one to Su Lu.
“Went to the gastore?”
“Jing Qiao snitched? That was quick, we haven’t even been apart for five minutes.”
“I have eyes and ears everywhere.”
“I’m so scared.”
After sending this ssage, Su Lu chuckled.
She looked back towards the direction Jing Qiao had left earlier, the gastore with its enormous shelves, exceptionally spacious.
She thought she had lost sight of him, yet unexpectedly, she saw the figure of Jing Qiao flit by at the end of an aisle.
Su Lu knitted her brows, not sure if it was her imagination, but it seed like she had just seen soone pull on Jing Qiao.
Su Lu placed the last item she wanted to buy into her trolley and pushed it towards the checkout. There weren’t many people, so she didn’t have to queue and quickly paid.
Pushing the cart towards the parking lot, she loaded the bags, big and small, into the car’s trunk.
Then she drove to find the exit, the usual routine.
No matter when she ca, it was always this routine, because she never knew where the exit was and had to look for exit signs on the wall, so she kept looking around.
In her search, she hadn’t noticed the exit sign yet, but another scene caught her attention instead.
Su Lu squinted her eyes, looking towards a corner parking space.
That was unmistakably Jing Qiao, she was struggling.
And two n, they were pulling her towards that car.
The car was covered with dark film; Su Lu couldn’t clearly see the inside scene, only a vague silhouette of a man sitting upright on the back seat.
Su Lu felt her palms start to sweat and her throat dry.
Her reason told her that such scenes were usually dangerous, and that there was a child in her car; in principle, she should avoid all danger.
But her conscience told her she couldn’t just stand by, that was Bo Jingshen’s sister.
Su Xiaolu’s voice ca from the backseat, “Mommy! Isn’t that the auntie from before? Soone is bullying her!!”
This shout completely jolted Su Lu awake; she suddenly raised her hand and pressed the horn hard!
The horn blared sharply and noisily in the parking lot!
Beep beep! Beep beep!
As expected, the two n looked this way, seemingly trying to see who was being so nosy.
Su Lu quickly lowered her head, pulled the sun visor down, not letting them see her clearly.
Then she revved the engine a few tis; the hefty SUV like a little tank let out a low roar, like the roar of a wild beast.
“Zhao Xiaole, hold tight! ”
Su Lu shifted into drive and slamd the gas pedal.
The car shot forward, screeching to a stop beside them, Su Lu lowered a crack in her window, and shouted, “Jing Qiao! Get in the car!”
