Jiang Li came over with the medicine and saw this scene.

“Oh, well.” Jiang Li pursed his lips. “The public relations department has to work overtime again.”

Bo Jingshen asked, “Do you know her?”

Jiang Li nodded.” This woman is an artiste from my company. She’s a model. When the news of Gu Xin’s extramarital affair broke out a while ago, the public relations department had a tough time. But now, it’s even worse. It’s big news.”

Bo Jingshen narrowed his eyes and said calmly, “Then let’s not bother about this matter. With such concrete evidence, no matter how we handle it, we’ll end up looking bad.”

Jiang Li laughed and had no objection to his suggestion.

Just a week later, the news broke.

That morning, Su Lu was bombarded with phone calls after taking a shower.

Secretary Xu called first.

“President Su! Have you seen the local news?”

“No, what’s going on?”

“You should take a look. It’s about President Gu.” Xu Ning didn’t say much.

Su Lu hung up and immediately checked the news.

The news’s accompanying picture showed Gu Xin accompanying Chen Yaxi to the hospital’s obstetrics department.

As soon as she finished reading, Gu Xin called.

“Little Lu, I’m sorry. I didn’t expect them to be so intrusive.”

He brought Chen Yaxi to a high-class private hospital. He did not expect to be photographed there.

Su Lu smiled. “We’ve already completed the formalities, so it’s just that outsiders don’t know about it. Compared to me, public opinion is even more unfavorable towards Chen Yaxi. She’s still pregnant, so you should take good care of her. It’s fine on my side. Once the controversy dies down, everything will be fine.”

Su Lu was very rational and even very calm.

In fact, the situation was quite simple. As long as they made their divorce public, things would settle down.

However, just like their marriage, their divorce involved both families’ businesses, stocks, and future cooperation, among other things.

So, when the news broke, both families had to discuss it and find the most suitable timing to minimize the impact and losses for both sides.

As expected, Su Yukang called right away.

“I’ll talk to the Gu family about this! Just take care of yourself and don’t talk too much!” Su Yukang’s words were direct.

After ending the call, Su Lu chuckled and continued applying makeup, getting ready to go to the company.

…

Bosheng’s office building was ready because Bo Jingshen’s budget was very high, but the requirements for the location weren’t too high.

Naturally, it was not difficult to find a place with suitable conditions. The office building, he bought was originally a design company.

Therefore, the interior design focused on aesthetics, and it was impressive.

Jiang Li arrived early and brought two bags of steaming crab roe dumplings.

“Tsk, tsk, even though this place isn’t in the central business district, the design and renovation are quite impressive.”

“What are you here for?” Bo Jingshen asked.

Jiang Li lifted the bags in his hands. “I brought breakfast for you.” He chuckled. “And I’m here to catch some excitement along the way.”

“Excitement along the way?” Bo Jingshen raised an eyebrow.

Jiang Li vigorously nodded. “Yes, today Gu Xin’s affair was exposed. I just passed by Su Lu’s company, and there was a bunch of reporters crowding the entrance, coming on strong. Ah, I just realized, your location is quite close to Su Lu’s company, at the beginning and end of the same road.”

Bo Jingshen abruptly stopped typing.

“Why are they surrounding her company? Wasn’t it about that man’s scandal?” Bo Jingshen furrowed his brow.

“Gu Xin has been protecting Chen Yaxi discreetly. The media couldn’t get to them, so naturally, they came after Su Lu,” Jiang Li explained.

Bo Jingshen stood up abruptly and grabbed his coat from the nearby hanger.

“Where are you going?” Jiang Li asked, bewildered.

“I have something to attend to.”

“But what about the dumplings? I stood in line to buy them! The internet-famous dumplings!” Jiang Li protested, gazing at him mournfully.

Bo Jingshen waved his hand. “Go to the secretary’s office and have Cheng Yan accompany you for a meal.”

With that, he left the company without looking back.

Su Lu hadn’t expected such a large group of reporters to gather at the entrance of her company. She wasn’t a celebrity, after all.

Since she hadn’t anticipated this, she hadn’t taken any precautions.

Just as she had parked her car and stepped out of the parking lot, a swarm of reporters surrounded her.

“What are your thoughts on Mr. Gu Xin and Miss Chen Yaxi appearing in the hospital’s obstetrics department?”

“Miss Su, please say a few words!”

“Mrs. Gu, please share your thoughts.”

All kinds of recording pens, cell phones, and cameras were placed in front of her.

“No comments,” Su Lu murmured, lowering her head and attempting to walk forward. However, the reporters blocked her path to the company’s entrance.

Su Lu’s petite figure couldn’t compete with the crowd.

Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain at the corner of her eye, followed by a warm liquid trickling down.

It wasn’t tears.

Su Lu froze for a moment and instinctively reached up to touch it.

Before she could, a large hand with elegant fingers grasped her wrist tightly. Then, a suit coat was swiftly placed over her head.

Su Lu’s vision immediately darkened.

Yet, she remained calm.

On the suit coat, the familiar scent of cedar brought her an inexplicable sense of security in this situation.

The reporters clamored and bombarded with questions.

“Sir, may I ask what your relationship is with Mrs. Gu?”

“Sir, may I ask who you are to Mrs. Gu?”

The man’s voice was deep and magnetic as he coldly uttered two words, “Bodyguard.”

Su Lu was taken by the shoulder and led away, then pushed into the car.

The reporters couldn’t help but feel that the man in front of them, with his strong aura and black mask, didn’t resemble an ordinary bodyguard.

But no one dared to provoke further.

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

After a while, it stopped again.

Then the coat covering her head was finally lifted.

He said, “Look up and look at me.”

Su Lu raised her face, and a bead of blood slid down her cheek from the corner of her eye.

Bo Jingshen furrowed his brow.

His restraint and composure in not resorting to violence against the reporters earlier had already shown his greatest self-control and composure.

Bo Jingshen pulled out a few tissues and pressed on her bleeding wound.

“Why did you come?” Su Lu looked at him.

Bo Jingshen’s voice was low and cold. “I’m here to laugh at you.”

The corners of Su Lu’s mouth curled up in a self-deprecating smile. “Then why aren’t you smiling?”

Bo Jingshen narrowed his eyes. Not only did he not smile, but his eyes also showed anger.

“He made a mess, but it’s you who bears the consequences. He protected that woman meticulously, yet you ended up covered in blood.”

“It was just an accident, and besides…”

“I already divorced him,” she had those words on the tip of her tongue, but she didn’t get a chance to say them.

Bo Jingshen sneered, “Did you marry him just to live through days like this? I only slept with you once, and I still knew how to lend a helping hand. What about him?”

Each sentence carried a sharp edge. He hated Su Lu, and he hated himself for being soft-hearted towards her.

The words that Su Lu was about to say suddenly disappeared.

Mockingly, she said, “So should I thank you? I didn’t report and arrest you for that day’s incident, which was already my utmost benevolence. Today, I didn’t ask for your help either. I’ve said it before, Bo Jingshen, we’re even now. What exactly do you want?”

She took the tissues from his hand and pressed them against the wound on her eye corner. The tissues quickly soaked through with red.

Bo Jingshen found it painfully distressing. He started the car and drove towards the hospital.

The corners of his lips formed a cold, emotionless arc. “What do I want to do? What I wanted to do was already done that night at Yunding. As for being even?”

His fingers lightly tapped on the steering wheel as he let out a light laugh. “You’re dreaming.”
