Chapter 447: Chapter 447
Song Boyuan had booked several paintings for the exhibition when they were delivered, and Su Lu actually felt sowhat embarrassed.
It wasn’t that she was in dire need of the money, but rather… Su Lu felt that Song Boyuan was probably arranged by Bo Jingshen and Bo Jingshen’s son.
In comparison, although Song Boyuan was soone they called a madman, his heart was extrely pure when it ca to matters related to Jing Qiao.
As long as it was related to Jing Qiao, as long as it might make her happy, Song Boyuan didn’t mind trying it out, except for leaving and separating from her, which he couldn’t do.
“President Song has gone to a lot of expense,” Su Lu said with so sha, feeling very much as if ‘my child has caused you trouble.’
“Su…” Song Boyuan uttered a hollow syllable before stopping, the address that was about to slip out took a turn in his mouth, and when it ca out it had beco, “You’re too polite, sister-in-law.”
Bo Jingshen’s eyebrows instantly furrowed, and he was just about to say ‘Who are you bros with, who are you calling sister-in-law.’
But suddenly he couldn’t speak, feeling a bit guilty and ashad.
He was abruptly reminded of his own shaless behavior in front of Su Zhe and Shen Xun.
He didn’t know why, but he empathized and didn’t feel like arguing against Song Boyuan’s sowhat tentative address.
Jing Qiao, though, was stunned for a mont.
She had not expected Song Boyuan to call Su Lu that way, not at all.
Because before, Song Boyuan wouldn’t.
He was proud and aloof, normally soone he couldn’t bear to look at.
Although he had married her, he had never called Jing Ce ‘father-in-law’; upon eting, it was always Mr. Jing, barely better than eting a stranger.
When it ca to Jing Su, naturally it was the sa.
Song Boyuan had always been very clear about boundaries, perhaps because he knew what kind of relationship and affection Jing Qiao had with the Jing Family. So, he had only married Jing Qiao and didn’t an that he had accepted the other mbers of the Jing Family.
But now, he had not only accepted the other mbers of the Jing Family, he was actually calling Su Lu ‘sister-in-law.’
One should know that although Su Lu couldn’t escape being related in an approximate sense, legally, she had no relationship whatsoever with Bo Jingshen at present.
Jing Qiao was sowhat surprised, looking towards Song Boyuan.
He said he had changed, he said he would change, he said he had changed.
Jing Qiao had never believed it, precisely because she knew too well what a fanatic he was, what is fanaticism? It’s being extre and stubborn; even if mountains no longer had ridges and heaven and earth rged, he probably wouldn’t change. So, she simply didn’t harbor any hope, nor did she dare to believe.
But it seed right now… that might not entirely be the case.
The dinner was still arranged by Song Boyuan.
Bo Jingshen was holding Su Lu, whispering in her ear, “I feel very uncomfortable.”
“Hmm? Why?” Su Lu looked at him, puzzled, because it had been her who had brought Xiao Le to Yujing Villa and had been interacting with Song Boyuan for the past two days, so she hadn’t felt anything off.
Bo Jingshen felt different though, “Song Boyuan acting like this all of a sudden makes very uncomfortable.”
“Why?” asked Su Lu.
Bo Jingshen lowered his voice and said, “I always feel like he has a sche!”
Bo Jingshen was very serious when he said it, and his tone was all mysterious, making Su Lu almost laugh, she also lowered her voice and mysteriously asked him, “What kind of sche does he have?!”
Bo Jingshen could certainly tell that Su Lu was laughing at him.
He was taken aback at first, then imdiately smiled and said, “Oh, so you’re making fun of now?”
Su Lu also started laughing, “Who told you to be so serious and yet so mysterious.”
“I’m serious. This man had a deeply-rooted image before, but now he suddenly becos so llow and easy to talk to; I always feel like he’s plotting sothing. It feels like he might pull out a gun in the next second and shoot us dead,” said Bo Jingshen.
Since Su Lu had never t Song Boyuan before and hadn’t heard much about his deeds, she wasn’t much affected by this.
No wonder Bo Jingshen thought so, because as he said that, Su Lu rembered the first ti she t Song Boyuan, the man had a dangerous weapon in his pocket.
She suddenly felt a bit uneasy as Bo Jingshen had described.
“Don’t worry, there won’t be any problems,” Su Lu thought for a mont, then reassured him, “As long as we don’t pull out weapons to kill Jing Qiao, as long as we don’t run off with Jing Qiao, as long as we don’t encourage Jing Qiao to run off, there shouldn’t be any big issues.”
These three points were exactly the key issues.
Bo Jingshen wanted to say sothing else, but Su Lu just looked at him with a smile, “Now you know how hard it was for my two brothers to put up with you, right?”
“I’ll visit your eldest uncle and second uncle with gifts another day,” Bo Jingshen said.
It would have been fine not to ntion the eldest and second uncles, but now that he did, it seed like an invitation for trouble.
Su Lu went back ho that evening and received a call from Zhao Ying.
Zhao Ying’s tone was sowhat heavy, sounding very serious.
“Lulu, is your brother…” Zhao Ying hesitated, as if unsure where to begin.
Su Lu asked, “Mom, what’s wrong? What happened to brother?”
Zhao Ying let out a light sigh, “You know that your grandfather’s birthday is coming up.”
“I know, Brother Xun has returned to Beijing for this reason,” Su Lu said.
“The old man arranged a blind date for him, and he actually went,” Zhao Ying revealed.
Su Lu heard an incredulous tone in her mother’s voice.
Thinking deeper, Su Lu couldn’t help but feel a shock in her heart, could her mother have… learned or guessed sothing about Shen Xun and Su Zhe?
Considering her mother, who was sharp and open-minded, the only ti she was cautious was when dealing with her children’s affairs.
“That… isn’t that good? It would prevent grandpa from getting angry,” Su Lu could only say that, feeling very sorry for her mother.
“But…” Zhao Ying seed to want to say sothing but stopped abruptly, then after a mont, sighed, “Never mind. Mainly, he has never listened to the old man or Shen Jiming’s pressure before, to go on blind dates. I am always worried that he might have suffered so grievance and that’s why he is compromising.”
Su Lu: “…” She felt it was inappropriate to say anything more, only feeling more guilt towards her mother.
Zhao Ying did not seem to expect any response from her, only adding, “I’ve never had many demands for you and your brother. I just hope you’re happy. My own marriage with Shen Jiming is a ss, so I really don’t think getting married will necessarily have a good outco. Even if he never marries, it’s fine. Anyway, when I’m old and gone, you and your brother will support each other, and Xiao Le will definitely take care of him.”
Su Lu’s mind was in turmoil; she always felt that her mother had perceived sothing, her words sounded like she had realized sothing.
But it also seed like she hadn’t.
It was absolutely agonizing. After hanging up the phone, Su Lu was feeling quite downhearted.
Bo Jingshen, who had just had a nice shower and wanted to join his wife and child to sleep, was ruthlessly rejected.
