Chapter 52 - 52 52 The Kid from Five Years Ago

52: Chapter 52: The Kid from Five Years Ago 52: Chapter 52: The Kid from Five Years Ago Cheng Yan didn’t know why, but he obediently handed over the suitcase.

Mr.

Su’s brother didn’t look particularly domineering, not even the demeanor of a BOSS.

But still, he mysteriously had an intimidating aura.

After handing over the suitcase, Cheng Yan noticed the BOSS’s complexion looked somewhat unpleasant, seemingly he had made a mistake.

Although he didn’t know why the BOSS would have any friction with someone else’s brother.

“Thank you,” Su Zhe said in a calm voice.

Holding the suitcase with one hand, he smoothly grasped Su Lu’s wrist with the other, “Let’s go.”

“Oh…

alright.” Su Lu obediently let him hold her wrist, turned to look at Bo Jingshen, “Then I’ll go first.

You…”

Su Lu turned her head and noticed Bo Jingshen’s face looked somewhat unwell.

She didn’t know what the problem was, she even thought about it carefully.

Could it be because of the brief and slight airflow that had passed earlier?

So Su Lu added, “You go back and rest well.”

Bo Jingshen’s complexion grew even more difficult, but ultimately he didn’t say much, merely nodded slightly, his gaze falling on Su Zhe.

Su Zhe’s cold gaze met Bo Jingshen’s.

He wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but Bo Jingshen felt like there was hostility in Su Zhe’s gaze.

Actually, Su Zhe’s generally distant attitude towards everyone easily came off as hostile, but sometimes it was just an illusion.

Bo Jingshen had seen many people, and he instinctively felt that Su Zhe’s gaze was not just simply cold, but truly hostile.

This is really interesting.

Where did his hostility come from?

Su Zhe: “Thanks to you…

President Bo, right?

Thank you for bringing my sister back, so I’ll take my leave now.”

Bo Jingshen: “Don’t mention it, Su Xiaolu and I go way back.”

Bo Jingshen felt it probably wasn’t an illusion, he clearly saw a cold smirk at the corner of Su Zhe’s mouth.

“I’ll go now,” said Su Lu, thought for a moment and then added, “About that project, we’ll talk another day.”

Bo Jingshen nodded, “Hmm, just remember to apply the ointment.”

Su Lu obediently nodded, she needed to continue applying healing ointment on the wound on her face.

Watching the retreating figures of Su Zhe pulling Su Lu away.

Cheng Yan pondered for a moment and asked, “BOSS, did you offend them before?”

Bo Jingshen frowned and glanced at him.

That look in his eyes told Cheng Yan that he hadn’t.

Cheng Yan was a bit puzzled, “Then why the hostile gaze…”

Bo Jingshen tugged at the corner of his mouth, “Yeah, I’d like to know too.”

Su Lu sat in the passenger seat nibbling on a still warm oyster omelet.

Su Zhe started the car, “What ointment?”

“On my face.

I accidentally got hurt by someone…” Su Lu turned her face to show him the wound at her eye corner.

It wasn’t very noticeable, but Su Zhe still furrowed his brows.

“How did it happen?” he asked displeased.

“Just a while ago, the media…” Su Lu thought for a moment but decided not to tell her brother everything, “Anyway, it’s not serious.”

“Gu Xin really has some nerve, bullying you like this…

I heard he took his pregnant mistress on a vacation abroad?” Su Zhe’s voice was icy.

Su Lu knew her brother had always disliked Gu Xin, especially after Gu Xin got together with Chen Yaxi.

Despite Su Lu repeatedly explaining that her relationship with Gu Xin was merely a contract, Su Zhe still detested him.

As Su Zhe had put it at the time, “Who said that just because it’s a contractual marriage, one can cheat within the marriage?”

Su Lu pursed her lips and whispered softly, “We’ve already divorced.”

“I know.

Otherwise, do you think I’d let him gallivant around outside happily with his little lover?” Su Zhe replied.

It was no wonder Gu Xin was so wary of this older male cousin.

“How long will you be staying this time?” Su Lu quickly changed the subject.

Su Zhe was exceptionally talented, although he had never studied business.

He had been exposed to it from a young age and had a unique and sharp perspective.

But in fact, he had studied medicine in college.

To put it plainly, he was a senior alumnus of Cheng Youran.

He hadn’t initially pursued a medical career after graduation.

Following in his father’s footsteps, he entered the business world, so he had even made several investments during college.

But Su Yukan had traded Su Lu’s marriage like a business deal, which truly disgusted him.

Thus, abandoning the business handed down by his father, he went overseas to further his education and develop his career.

A talented person excelled everywhere, and Su Zhe did well not only in his field of expertise but also in the investments and entrepreneurial ventures he undertook.

If Bo Jingshen mainly excelled in the field of technology, then Su Zhe thrived in the field of medical healthcare.

So, his time back in the country was not much.

“It depends; there’s no rush on time.”

This reassured Su Lu a little, knowing Su Zhe’s presence would keep Su Yukan more restrained.

Su Zhe drove off the airport’s elevated road, and only then did Su Lu notice the route seemed unusual—it wasn’t the way back to the Su Residence.

“Huh?

We’re not going back?” Su Lu asked.

She actually disliked returning to the Su Residence; each visit was filled with different forms of disturbances, but Su Zhe had always insisted on going back.

Probably because that was where his mother had raised him.

Generally, Su Lu would only stay at the Su Residence for a few days when he returned.

But this route clearly wasn’t leading there.

“Yeah, not going back,” Su Zhe glanced at her sideways and said, “You really don’t like to complain, do you?

If I hadn’t asked, would you have decided not to tell me about Su Jiao’s antics in Hai City?”

Su Lu blinked and quickly realized, “That’s why they suddenly quieted down.”

It was because Su Zhe had come back.

“We’re not going back anymore.

I’ll find some time to take back the house.

I’ve had enough of them living there all the time,” Su Zhe said indifferently.

“I’ll stay in the apartment in your condominium.”

Su Lu was currently living in a condominium where, when she bought her apartment, Su Zhe had also purchased one.

“Okay, I’ve always kept it clean,” Su Lu said smiling.

Su Zhe glanced at her smile, his cool eyes gradually softening.

“Alright, let’s not change the subject,” Su Zhe suddenly said.

Su Lu was startled, “I wasn’t…”

“About that Bo earlier,” Su Zhe started.

Su Lu felt a pang in her heart, “Um…”

“That kid from five years ago?” Su Zhe’s voice cooled, “The one because of whom Old Su almost beat you to death, right?”

Su Lu felt her scalp tighten.

No wonder she had felt her brother’s attitude towards Bo Jingshen seemed a bit cold earlier.

It wasn’t her imagination after all.

“That was all a long time ago.… Besides, he was unaware at the time,” Su Lu said weakly.

“So are you going to happily collaborate with him on a project now?” Su Zhe questioned further.

Su Lu sighed inwardly.

Despite her brother being very supportive, she was sometimes intimidated by him—he was too perceptive.

It seemed like he didn’t notice anything, but he actually saw everything.

“That… There’s money to be made on the project, can I not earn it?” Su Lu said softly.

Su Zhe cut right to the point, “Just don’t end up sold without even knowing.

I’m not in a rush to leave; I’ll check out this project for you.”
