Chapter 4 - 4 4 All settled

4: Chapter 4: All settled?

In your dreams 4: Chapter 4: All settled?

In your dreams Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Jiang Li came over with the medicine and also glanced at the scene.

“Oh dear.” Jiang Li curled her lips, “The PR department will have to work overtime again.”

Bo Jingshen: “Do you know her?”

Jiang Li nodded, “That woman is an artist from my company, a model.

When the news of Gu Xin’s affair broke out a while ago, the PR department already had a headache.

Now it’s even worse, big news.”

Bo Jingshen squinted his eyes and said calmly, “Then ignore it.

This kind of solid evidence, no matter how much you try to cover it up, you’ll still get slapped in the face.”

Jiang Li laughed heartily, not having much objection to his suggestion.

In just a week, the matter broke out.

That morning, Su Lu took a shower and then was bombarded with phone calls.

Secretary Xu’s call came in first.

Xu Ning: “Mr.

Su!

Have you seen the local news?”

“No.

What’s up?”

“You should take a look.

It’s about Mr.

Gu.” Xu Ning didn’t say much more.

Su Lu hung up and checked the news.

The news picture was a photo of Gu Xin accompanying Chen Yaxi to the hospital’s obstetrics department.

Just after seeing it, Gu Xin’s call came in.

“Xiaolu, I’m really sorry.

I didn’t expect them to be so all-pervasive.”

He took Chen Yaxi to a high-end private hospital, not expecting to be photographed even there.

Su Lu smiled, “We’ve already completed the procedures.

Outsiders just don’t know.

Compared to me, the public opinion is less friendly towards Chen Yaxi now.

She’s still pregnant, just take care of her.

I don’t mind, it will blow over soon.”

Su Lu was very rational, even calm.

Actually, this matter was simple; as long as the two of them announced their divorce, it would settle down.

But just like their marriage, their divorce also involved both their families’ businesses, stocks, future collaborations, and so on.

So when to release the news had to be discussed by both families again, trying to find an appropriate time to minimize the impact and losses for both families.

Sure enough, Su Yukan called in right away.

“I’ll discuss the matter with the Gu Family!

Just keep your mouth shut and don’t say anything unnecessary!” This was the first thing Su Yukan said when the call connected.

After ending the call, Su Lu laughed and continued applying makeup, preparing to go to the company.

…

The Boss office building was basically ready because Bo Jingshen provided a high budget, but the requirements for the location weren’t that high.

Naturally, it wasn’t hard to find a suitable place.

The purchased office building was originally a design firm.

So the interior had a strong sense of design, which was very nice.

Jiang Li came over early in the morning, carrying two bags of steaming crab roe dumplings.

“Tsk tsk, although this place isn’t in the CBD, the design and decoration are indeed impressive.”

“Why are you here?” Bo Jingshen asked.

Jiang Li raised the bag in his hands, “Delivering breakfast to you.” He chuckled, “And to see the excitement.”

“See the excitement?” Bo Jingshen raised an eyebrow.

Jiang Li nodded vigorously, “Yeah, the news about Gu Xin broke out today, and I passed by the Su Lu Company just now.

A bunch of reporters were gathered at the entrance, coming on strong.

Hey, I just realized, your place is quite close to Su Lu’s company, just on the opposite ends of the same road.”

Bo Jingshen’s typing suddenly stopped.

“Why are they surrounding her company?

Isn’t it that man’s scandal?” Bo Jingshen frowned.

“Gu Xin protected Chen Yaxi flawlessly.

The media couldn’t get to them, so they naturally turned to Su Lu.”

Jiang Li shrugged, “After all, Su Lu’s father and mother don’t care about her.

Su Yukan probably wishes the media would swarm her, selling a wave of misfortune might even benefit the Su Family.”

Bo Jingshen suddenly stood up and took his coat from the hanger.

Jiang Li was stunned: “Where are you going?”

“I have something to do.”

“What about the dumplings?

I queued up to buy them!

They’re from a popular shop!” Jiang Li looked at him in grief.

Bo Jingshen waved his hand, “Go to the secretary’s office and have them with Cheng Yan.”

After saying that, he left the company without looking back.

Su Lu didn’t expect so many reporters at the company entrance; she wasn’t a celebrity.

Because she didn’t expect it, she wasn’t prepared.

After parking the car and just stepping out of the parking lot, she was surrounded by reporters.

“What’s your opinion on Mr.

Gu and Miss Chen Yaxi appearing at the hospital’s obstetrics department?”

“Miss Su, please say a few words!”

“Mrs.

Gu!

Please say something.”

Various recorders, phones, and cameras were pushed in front of her.

“No comment.” Su Lu walked forward with her head down, but the reporters blocked her way to the company entrance.

Su Lu was slender and couldn’t push through them.

Suddenly, she felt sharp pain at the corner of her eye, and then some warm liquid flowed down from there.

It wasn’t tears.

Su Lu tried to raise her hand to touch it.

But a long-fingered hand grabbed her wrist suddenly, then a suit jacket covered her head.

Su Lu’s vision went black.

But she didn’t feel panicked.

The suit jacket had a familiar cold cedar scent, which made her feel somewhat reassured in this situation.

The reporters noisily questioned.

“Sir, what’s your relationship with Mrs.

Gu?”

“Sir, who are you to Mrs.

Gu?”

The man’s voice was deep and magnetic, coldly spitting out two words, “Bodyguard.”

Su Lu was led by the shoulder into a car.

The reporters felt that this commanding man in a black mask didn’t seem like a bodyguard.

But no one dared to provoke.

In the darkness, Su Lu only felt the car start and drive away.

After a while, it stopped again.

Then the jacket covering her head was finally taken off.

He said, “Look at me.”

Su Lu raised her face, blood sliding down her cheek from the corner of her eye.

Bo Jingshen frowned deeply.

Not laying hands on the reporters earlier was already his highest restraint and composure.

Bo Jingshen grabbed a few tissues and held them to her still-bleeding wound.

“Why are you here?” Su Lu looked at him.

Bo Jingshen spoke in a low, cold tone, “To watch you make a fool of yourself.”

Su Lu’s mouth curved slightly, her expression mocking herself, “Then why aren’t you laughing?”

Bo Jingshen squinted his eyes, not only did he not laugh, but his expression was clearly angry.

Bo Jingshen: “He messed up, yet you bear the consequences.

He protected that woman without a flaw, and you end up bleeding here.”

Su Lu: “This was just an accident, besides…”

‘I’ve already divorced him’ was on the tip of her tongue, but she didn’t get to say it.

Bo Jingshen scoffed, “Did you marry him to live like this?

I slept with you once and still know to help out.

What about him?”

Every word was sharp.

He hated Su Lu, and hated himself for softening towards her.

The words Su Lu was about to say suddenly didn’t feel like saying anymore.

She mocked, “Should I thank you then?

Not reporting you to the police for that night was already being as lenient as possible.

I didn’t ask for your help today either.

I said it, Bo Jingshen, we’re even.

What do you actually want?”

She took the tissues from his hand, pressing the wound on her eye herself, and soon they were soaked red.

The sight irritated Bo Jingshen greatly.

He started the car and headed to the hospital.

His lips curved with a cold smile, “What do I want?

I already did what I wanted that night at Yunding.

As for being even?”

He tapped his fingers lightly on the steering wheel and chuckled, “Keep dreaming.”
