Chapter 61 - 61 61 Disowning All Kin

61: Chapter 61: Disowning All Kin 61: Chapter 61: Disowning All Kin Bo Jingshen looked slightly surprised, but he was not too flustered and calmly faced Su Zhe.

“President Bo,” Su Zhe initiated the conversation.

“A pleasure, how coincidental,” Bo Jingshen nodded to him slightly, even though he knew why Su Lu had become his sister and was quite displeased with the reason behind it.

But considering he was after all Su Lu’s brother, Bo Jingshen’s attitude remained polite.

“Not coincidental,” Su Zhe’s voice was flat and emotionless, “I was waiting for you.”

“Do you need something from me?” Bo Jingshen asked.

Su Zhe sneered coldly, “Considering you followed my sister into the restroom to harass her, I could have called the police on you.

So yes, I definitely have something I need from you.”

Bo Jingshen’s expression stiffened for a moment, “This is a private matter between Su Lu and me.”

“Do me a favor and stay away from my sister,” Su Zhe had neither the time nor the interest to understand his predicament and reasons.

All he knew was that because of this man, Su Lu had been very upset years ago, and even now, she was still emotionally wounded because of him.

If this man was trying to be with Su Lu, Su Zhe might have waited and seen, but he felt that this man’s motive was revenge.

Only Su Lu the fool would still jump into the pit.

Bo Jingshen was also annoyed with Su Zhe, but now that Su Zhe had torn off the pretense, Bo Jingshen stopped holding back too.

He frowned and said coldly, “What right do you have to say this to me?”

“Simply because I am Su Lu’s brother.”

Bo Jingshen sneered, “Heh, what if I refuse?

Do you really think the Su Family can still cover the sky with one hand like they used to?”

Su Zhe’s eyebrows lifted slightly, he wasn’t stupid, and he instantly understood that Bo Jingshen was referring to past events.

Su Zhe: “What can I do?

You’re welcome to try.”

This was probably how conversations went between intelligent people; I know your weaknesses, just as you know my bottom lines.

Su Zhe looked indifferently at Bo Jingshen, “Indeed, I, Su Zhe, cannot cover the sky with one hand, and perhaps I really cannot do anything to you, but I don’t mind trying to find those who can.

I’ve heard that President Bo has some…

deep connections in Beijing, right?”

Bo Jingshen’s face suddenly turned grim, “You’re investigating me?”

“Aren’t you investigating me too?

It’s mutual,” Su Zhe smiled faintly, without any warmth, “Since President Bo has looked into me, you must be aware that I, Su Zhe, would disown even my own father for Su Lu.

There is nothing I wouldn’t do.

If you don’t believe me, we can just see.”

“I’ll repeat it again, please, President Bo, stay away from my sister,” Su Zhe finished speaking and left.

As he reached the entrance of the hall, Qiao Li happened to be opening the door from inside.

“I thought you’d fallen into a pit,” Qiao Li said, his gaze moving past Su Zhe to the handsome man with a dark expression following behind.

Their eyes met.

Qiao Li didn’t know why the man’s eyes held such chilly hostility, and he didn’t give it much thought.

Turning to Su Zhe, he said, “Lulu doesn’t look well, seems she’s still not feeling great, let’s head back early.

Maybe see if she needs to go to the hospital.”

Su Zhe: “Yeah, let’s go.”

They walked into the hall, and Bo Jingshen entered as well, having heard their previous conversation clearly.

So she wasn’t feeling well.

No wonder her face was so pale.

Inside the hall, Su Lu, draped in Su Zhe’s coat, stood waiting in the corridor; seeing Su Zhe and Qiao Li come in, she curved her lips into a slight smile.

Then she saw Bo Jingshen enter swiftly, the smile on his face immediately vanished.

Su Zhe reached out to gently put his arm around her shoulders, blocking Bo Jingshen’s line of sight, and walked outside.

Watching them leave, Bo Jingshen returned to his seat with a cold expression on his face.

He saw Jiang Su holding his cup of tea with interest, clearly having enjoyed the previous commotion.

Upon seeing Bo Jingshen approach, Jiang Su teasingly raised his eyebrows.

“Could your schadenfreude be any more obvious?” Bo Jingshen frowned and said grumpily, then he picked up his cup and downed the cool tea in one gulp.

“Of all people, why provoke Su Zhe?” Jiang Su shrugged.

Bo Jingshen: “How so?

Is he that formidable?”

“Well…” Jiang Su thought for a moment, “Anyhow, he’s ruthless enough to disown even his own father.

I certainly can’t compete with that.

It feels like there’s nothing he wouldn’t do.”

Bo Jingshen snorted coldly.

Jiang Su raised his eyebrow, “Actually, when it comes to being ruthless, you are quite similar.

You’re both unfilial.”

There weren’t many in Feng City who knew the full extent of Bo Jingshen’s background, but Jiang Su was one of them.

Being overprotective of his brother and fearing that he would be duped by someone, Jiang Su would naturally investigate the backgrounds of his brother’s friends.

So, of course, he knew Bo Jingshen was a tough character.

Jing Ruo had come in at some point, just in time to overhear Jiang Su’s comment, and she deeply related to it!

With righteous indignation, she exclaimed, “Yes!

Exactly!

He’s unfilial!

He’s not just ruthless, he’s more like a ruthless wolf, and not just by a point or two, but overtly so!

Look, he doesn’t even care about me!”

As Jing Ruo spoke with fervor, Bo Jingshen gave her a cold look.

She choked on her words, her bluster nearly faltering, but seeing strangers present, she mustered her courage and stiffening her neck, she retorted, “See!

He’s even glaring at me!”

Jiang Su chuckled softly and changed the subject, asking Bo Jingshen, “Since things have escalated to this, I suppose…

that project, we don’t need to deal with her side anymore, right?”

Bo Jingshen glared, “And why not?”

Speaking of which, he hadn’t yet settled accounts with Jiang Su regarding that guy named Chen Ju, whose attitude towards Su Lu was just ghastly.

And why wouldn’t they need to deal anymore?

Jiang Su shrugged, “Mainly because, with tensions so high, it’s not really about whether I say we should continue or not.

After all, it’s not that big of a deal.

Ah Li is just playing around with small ventures.

Maybe they’ve already lost interest.

Su Zhe’s own business is huge, he might not want his sister messing around in these little games with Ah Li.”

Bo Jingshen: “…”

Jiang Su’s words made a lot of sense.

Bo Jingshen furrowed his brows deeply, suddenly feeling that this was not good, not good at all.

So much so that the next morning, Xu Ning found herself hosting an unexpected visitor.

“Hello, I am Cheng Yan from Boss, and here’s my business card.

May I ask if Mr.

Su is in?”

Xu Ning was taken aback, not that she was inexperienced in society.

But this Cheng…

Xu Ning glanced at the business card, oh, Assistant Cheng, he was very good-looking, could it be that large companies also have strict standards for appearances?

“It’s still early, Mr.

Su hasn’t arrived yet.

Would you like to wait upstairs in the guest room?”

“That would be great, thank you.”

How could Cheng Yan not know it was early?

But last night the Boss had given a firm order regarding that previous project.

No matter how Cheng Yan negotiated, under no circumstances were they to allow Su Lu’s side to withdraw!
