Chapter 417: Chapter 417
"Even though it has been my cozy nest for over five years, can everyone stop despising it?" Su Lu said helplessly.
Su Zhe stood up, "Anyway, let’s settle it like this. I’ll have someone clean the house in East City tomorrow."
"No," Su Lu said, "Bo Jingshen has already been setting up the house, that’s why I’m staying here."
"Did he really move because of the house renovation?" Su Zhe was somewhat surprised, "I thought it was just some excuse he made up."
"Not at all," Su Lu laughed. "Anyway, don’t worry about me. It’s more important that you take care of your health... after all, you owe your life to me, right?"
"Yes," Su Zhe smiled as he reached out to pat her head.
"So before you ruin yourself, you’d better ask if I agree. I’m laying it out here now, I don’t agree. You just take good care of yourself and eat well."
"Got it," Su Zhe rubbed her hair and nodded.
Su Lu walked him to the door and called Zhao Xiaole to come and say goodbye to her uncle.
After Su Zhe left, Su Lu went to clean up the teaware. Bo Jingshen came over and gently squeezed her shoulders, looking worried, "Su Zhe didn’t scold you, did he?"
"No. Why do you ask?" Su Lu turned to glance at him, "My brother rarely scolds me."
It wasn’t even accurate to say rarely; Su Zhe almost never scolded Su Lu.
"It makes sense, if he were to scold anyone, it’d be me. I’ve seen him scold me without holding back," Bo Jingshen said with a smile, then thought for a moment and said, "What’s up with Su Zhe? Heartbroken? He looked terrible."
It had to be said that Bo Jingshen was sometimes quite perceptive.
If what troubled Su Zhe was just a normal heartbreak, Su Lu wouldn’t have hesitated to discuss it, but the situation was a bit complicated. Even though it was Bo Jingshen, Su Lu felt that it was better not to mention it for now.
"Well... anyway, don’t ask," Su Lu said.
Bo Jingshen curled the corner of his mouth, "Alright, I won’t ask."
Hearing him agree so easily and obediently, Su Lu reached out to touch his face.
"As long as he doesn’t think about driving me away," Bo Jingshen cared about that the most. Honestly, he had absolutely no interest in Su Zhe’s personal issues or anyone else’s for that matter.
Su Lu: "Got it, won’t drive you away."
Bo Jingshen: "What if he does?"
Su Lu looked at him, thinking, this is really a petulant little fairy, a real drama queen.
She put down the teaware she was holding, cupped his face with both hands, and looked him in the eyes seriously, "Even if he tried, I wouldn’t let you go. I don’t agree, is that okay now?"
"Hey hey," Bo Jingshen laughed softly twice. He took over the teaware from her, "I’ll clean up, you go rest."
Su Lu was soon planning to go to the company to help Su Zhe. When Bo Jingshen found out, he frowned, "Otherwise, I’ll hire a team to take care of it so you don’t have to work so hard."
"Let it be. I’ll go," Su Lu thought about it and waved her hand, "Besides, I have nothing else to do. Take Zhao Xiaole with you."
Su Lu had been dealing with it for five years and thought it was time for Bo Jingshen to experience what it was like.
Bo Jingshen had no objections, "Alright, I’ll take him."
Since Su Lu didn’t agree with his idea of hiring a team to help with Su Zhe Company’s business, Bo Jingshen didn’t insist and just said, "Su Zhe Company is not far from Boss; come join us for lunch."
He only had this one request.
Su Lu, of course, didn’t refuse, and she even took Jing Qiao with her.
She also wanted Jing Qiao to have a rest. Recently, Jing Qiao had been taking care of the child full-time. Although she was gentle and seemed to have no complaints, Su Lu still felt a bit embarrassed, so she took Jing Qiao with her, hoping she could get some rest.
Moreover, since the Yida group was following Su Lu, having Jing Qiao by her side was definitely safer.
As they were nearing the company, Su Lu made a call to Su Zhe.
"Uh? You’re almost here? Alright, I’ll have someone come down to meet you," Su Zhe said.
Su Lu initially thought he meant for someone to come down to meet her, so when she arrived at his company’s lobby, she sat on the sofa in the waiting area for a while.
Then, she saw a thin, dark figure with withered yellow hair and a haggard appearance, heading straight for the front desk of the first-floor lobby. noveldrama
The receptionist at the front desk frowned upon seeing the man, showing a hint of impatience, probably recognizing who the person was, indicating that this was not his first visit.
She leaned on the front desk, putting on a smile, and said, "Hello, may I ask if Mr. Su is here?"
The receptionist gave a formulaic smile and shook her head, "I’m sorry, Mr. Su isn’t in."
"Can you just ask for me? Maybe he’d want to see me?" she pleaded urgently, her eyebrows tightly furrowed, "I’m his sister, his sister!"
Su Lu sat on the sofa in the waiting area and watched the situation at the front desk calmly.
She hadn’t expected Su Jiao to become like this, which showed that she had been having a hard time lately.
After all, in Su Lu’s memory, Su Jiao had always been domineering and spoiled but always fashionably and exquisitely dressed. Even if disliked, she was at least a pretty person to dislike.
But now... she clearly no longer looked bright and beautiful, describing her as "dusty and down" wouldn’t be too much.
Jing Qiao also overheard the situation at the front desk and quietly asked Su Lu, "Sister-in-law, do you know her?"
Although it seemed unlikely, given how different this woman looked from her beautiful sister-in-law, hearing that the woman claimed to be Mr. Su’s sister made Jing Qiao think that Su Lu might know her.
"Ah, she..." Su Lu began, but just then, ding, the doors of the private elevator opened.
A lean man in a tailored suit emerged from the elevator. He hadn’t noticed the situation at the front desk but saw Su Lu sitting in the rest area and waved at her, "Lulu, over here."
"Oh!" Su Lu stood up, "Brother."
She felt it then, a gaze from the front desk area immediately turned her way.
Su Jiao glared at the front desk, "Is this what you meant by Mr. Su isn’t here?"
Then she quickly looked toward Su Lu, her eyes conveying an indescribable taste.
Su Jiao quickly walked towards Su Zhe’s direction, "Brother! Brother... sob sob sob..."
She only made it to Su Zhe before she could no longer stand and collapsed to the ground, crying, "Brother... I know I was wrong, I really do. Don’t ignore me... okay? Sob sob sob... Dad doesn’t want me anymore, Mom is too busy... If you ignore me too... I’ll have no one, I’ll be left with nothing..."
Su Zhe’s brow furrowed, his gaze flashing with impatience, lightly scanning in the direction of the front desk.
The two receptionists immediately shivered, thinking to call security to remove the person.
But in that quick moment, Su Jiao, somehow inspired, turned her head to look at Su Lu.
