Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!-Chapter 57 - Absent-minded

Only then did Su Lu’s smile fade as she silently let out a long breath.

In the lobby.

“What’s wrong?” The woman next to him raised her eyebrows at President Bo, “Are we still going out to eat?

You said that restaurant was good, didn’t you?”

President Bo glanced at her sidelong, “I didn’t say that; you said it was good and insisted on dragging me there.”

“Hey, why are you like this!” The woman frowned and pouted, not looking upset in the slightest but rather coquettish, “Can’t you be nicer to me?!”

“I can’t, you’ve invited yourself.

Now leave,” President Bo walked towards the exit, “Should I have Cheng Yan book you a ticket?”

“You’re really heartless!” she complained, but his cold words didn’t deter her as she stubbornly followed and wrapped her arms firmly around his, “I don’t care, I’m sticking with you now!”

President Bo didn’t bother engaging with her, letting one arm be held by her while he texted Jiang Su with his other hand.

Su Lu sat in the reception room, somewhat distracted, her gaze unfocused on the orchid on the table.

“Mr.

Su.”

Cheng Yan came in with a cup of coffee, setting it beside her hand, and then placed a stack of documents on the other side.

Su Lu quickly regained her composure and began to seriously review the documents.

As she was almost finished, Jiang Li arrived, accompanied by a smartly dressed man who looked very shrewd and capable.

“Yo, Su Lu!” Jiang Li cheerily sat down opposite her at the conference table, “Why didn’t you tell me you were coming so I could have come directly?”

He touched his nose, “It was my brother who sent someone to bring me over.

Here, let me introduce you, this is Chen Ju.”

Su Lu glanced at Chen Ju, standing next to Jiang Li, and thought about what Su Zhe had said; Jiang Su never let his little brother suffer any loss.

Chen Ju, with his shrewd appearance, was clearly someone Jiang Su had sent to help his brother.

“I just came over to discuss things since the company is close by,” Su Lu smiled.

“I’m not familiar with this field and was afraid of not doing a good job, so I wanted to understand more by talking in advance.”

Jiang Li clapped his hands together, “Right!

It’s close!

I helped him find this building, you know.

I had already found him a place in the CBD!

But he insisted on looking along Mingyang Avenue, and then we found this building, and I must say, it’s really nice.”

Su Lu was taken aback by this revelation.

So…

choosing this location was President Bo’s decision.

The subsequent discussion proceeded systematically.

With both Cheng Yan and Chen Ju present, the talk actually went quite smoothly, except that Chen Ju seemed to somewhat disregard Su Lu, speaking mainly to Cheng Yan, even showing no intention of engaging much with Su Lu.

Jiang Su planned to invest with Bo Jingshen and, by proportion, Su Lu could only be considered a very small part.

It was normal that Chen Ju didn’t take her seriously.

But Cheng Yan stood up for Su Lu, noticed Chen Ju’s attitude, and after several unsuccessful attempts at steering the conversation, Cheng Yan’s demeanor grew assertive.

“Our President Bo’s intention is to leave this matter entirely to Mr.

Su.

To be frank, I’m just an observer today.

So if you have any complaints, feel free to leave.”

Chen Ju then sheepishly offered a smile and dared not to overlook Su Lu again.

However, this incident left Jiang Li feeling embarrassed.

He also disliked the attitude of the representative sent by his older brother, but in the current situation, it wasn’t appropriate to say much, so he repeatedly apologized to Su Lu.

This made Su Lu feel a bit awkward as well; she hadn’t taken the situation seriously to begin with.

Partly because of this incident, after the matters were nearly settled, Jiang Li didn’t linger much longer and quickly left with his people.

“Well…

I should be going too,” Su Lu said.

“Of course, Mr.

Su, take care.

Apologies for today, but rest assured,” Cheng Yan said while gathering papers from the conference table, “given Second Young Master Jiang’s temper, we won’t be seeing Chen Ju again next time.”

“I don’t mind,” Su Lu smiled, considering Jiang Li’s straightforward nature, it did seem likely.

Cheng Yan escorted her down, and as they exited the elevator, they saw Zhuang Cai Nan hurriedly entering the lobby, her hands filled with boxes and bags from luxury brands.

Zhuang Cai Nan paused upon seeing Cheng Yan and Su Lu.

Cheng Yan raised an eyebrow.

“Went shopping?”

Zhuang Cai Nan’s expression stalled a bit.

“…Shopping for Miss Jing Ruo.

What about you?”

“Escorting Mr.

Su,” Cheng Yan said.

As Su Lu left Boss, her mind still lingered on Zhuang Cai Nan’s words.

Jing Ruo…

That must be the name of the woman who was with Bo Jingshen earlier.

Su Lu walked back to her company using the same route and stopped by the convenience store on the ground floor to buy an ice cream, white peach oolong, identical to the one she had eaten on the way there.

Though it was the same flavor of ice cream, it now seemed to lack taste.

Moreover, upon entering the company lobby, she saw Su Yukan waiting with a gloomy face.

Her already sour mood just soured further.

When Su Yukan saw her, he, too, was not in a pleasant mood, aggravated as he was, and there she was, eating ice cream!

Of course, no matter what she was eating or if she was eating nothing at all, he would be annoyed by her just the same.

Seeing Su Lu enjoying her ice cream made Su Yukan even more uncomfortable; his already unpleasant expression worsened.

Su Lu, not in the best of spirits, was too lazy to deal with him.

“What is it?”

“What else could it be!” Su Yukan always seemed to instinctively have a bad attitude when facing Su Lu.

As if it was his right to be impolite to her, no matter what.

She was used to it; even if he was in a good mood, she wouldn’t care to listen.

It made no difference.

“Oh, if there’s nothing, then keep sitting,” Su Lu said, ice cream stick in her mouth, as she walked towards the elevator.

Su Yukan’s eyes widened.

“What kind of attitude is that?!”

Su Lu turned to look at him and countered, “What kind of attitude is that?

If I’m not mistaken, you’re here to ask me for a favor, right?

It doesn’t matter what you want me to do or who you want me to speak well of – sorry, I refuse.”
