“Su Lu, if I didn’t agree, you don’t expect to settle this even until you die.”

Su Lu understood Bo Jingshen’s dominant nature very well, so she didn’t bother saying anything further.

When Cheng Youran called her, they were not far from the hospital.

Cheng Youran was her close friend, the kind who took charge and resolved matters.

Cheng Youran’s voice was cold, “Regarding Gu Xin’s scandal, why did you have to take the blame?”

As soon as she heard these words, Su Lu knew that the pictures of her being injured on the scene had already been leaked.

In Bo Jingshen’s car, Su Lu didn’t want to discuss much with Cheng Youran. She simply said, “I’ll be at the hospital soon. Let’s talk when we meet.”

Before hanging up, Cheng Youran asked in a low voice, “The person wearing a black mask who escorted you away from the scene, was it Bo Jingshen?”

They hadn’t been in the same city during their university days, so Cheng Youran only knew that Su Lu had a man whom she loved to the point of being willing to die for. She had seen his photos but hadn’t met him in person.

Su Lu knew she couldn’t keep it a secret, so she just replied, “Let’s discuss it when we meet.”

Muhe Private Hospital was also Cheng Youran’s workplace.

When they arrived, Cheng Youran was already waiting at the entrance.

“Don’t be so long-winded. I’ll arrange a few days of hospitalization for you. It’s a good opportunity for you to lay low.”

Saying this, Cheng Youran leaned closer to inspect the wound.

“You might need stitches. You tend to form scars easily, so if you don’t stitch it up, the scar might be prominent. I’ll arrange for a plastic surgeon to perform a cosmetic closure. Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.”

Su Lu nodded obediently.

After Su Lu got out of the car, Bo Jingshen drove away.

Therefore, Cheng Youran asked directly, “Did he go to park his car, or has he already left? If he’s parking the car, I’ll wait with you for him. If he’s left, let’s go inside.”

“Let’s go inside,” Su Lu replied.

Su Lu thought that he was just helping her because he had slept with her before. Thus, sending her to the hospital was already going above and beyond. There was no need for him to accompany her.

She assumed he had left and didn’t plan to wait, so she entered the hospital with Cheng Youran.

By the time Bo Jingshen parked his car and walked over, no one was there anymore.

He wasn’t angry. It was more important to treat her injury as soon as possible.

Jiang Li called.

“Brother Shen, you didn’t eat the dumplings and went to be a hero saving a beauty? Are you even worthy of the dumplings I lined up to buy early in the morning? Even if you wanted to watch the excitement, you should have taken me along. I also like to watch the show.”

Bo Jingshen’s voice was calm, “Just a coincidence.”

Jiang Li didn’t doubt him, “Oh, should I get someone to retract the news? But you didn’t show your face, so it’s fine. Brother Shen, you’re courageous and know how to stay hidden…”

“Retract it,” Bo Jingshen interrupted. “Retract the news about Su Lu too.”

Jiang Li laughed, “Are you feeling guilty for forcing her to drink three glasses that day?”

“Enough with the chatter,” Bo Jingshen glanced at the hospital lobby. He had no intention of going inside. ” I’m going back to the company now.”

Cheng Youran quickly brought a doctor from the plastic surgery department to help Su Lu to suture the wound.

Su Lu looked at herself in the mirror and sighed, “Sigh, my appearance is ruined.”

There was no trace of sadness in her tone.

“This is called beauty in imperfection. You are already beautiful enough, and having a small flaw can give others a chance.”

Su Lu smiled and said, “You have such a sweet mouth.”

“I’m just comforting you since you have a facial injury,” Cheng Youran replied while applying a small sterile dressing to her wound.

Su Lu gave instructions to her employees over the phone and held a video conference.

In the afternoon, Su Yukang arrived.

Su Lu was dressed in a patient’s gown. She took off her scarf, and the hickey on her neck was still visible even though it was very light in color.

Su Yukang was furious when he saw this. “You just got divorced from Gu Xin, and now you’re fooling around? Have you no shame?”

Su Lu couldn’t be bothered to explain and replied calmly, “I will take responsibility for my private life.”

“I had a meeting with the Gu family this morning,” Su Yukang said, his expression unpleasant, indicating that the outcome wasn’t favorable.

“During this period, you should go to Hai City to avoid trouble. It’s a good opportunity to inspect the cooperative project there. The Gu family admitted that Gu Xin was at fault, so they are willing to increase the profit share for our side in this project.”

Su Yukang’s expression softened slightly when he mentioned the possibility of getting a larger profit share.

After pondering for a moment, he continued, “Gu Xin is not a good person. Next time, when you meet with President Liu…”

Su Lu’s laughter carried a hint of sarcasm. “You still expect there to be a next time? Last time, you used the safety and future of my ex-boyfriend to threaten me. I have my weaknesses, and I admit that. I have devoted five years and helped the Su family earn over ten billion. I have done my utmost. What other bargaining chips do you have for the next time?”

Su Yukang’s face turned ugly, and he abruptly changed the topic, “I’m doing this for your good. Let’s discuss this matter later. When your brother comes back next month, you should also come back and stay for a few days.”

The relationship between Su Lu and her father wasn’t good, but she had a good relationship with her brother. Su Yukang knew which words to use to ease the tension.

Su Lu said calmly,” I understand. I need to rest now, take care.”

The next morning, Gu Xin hurriedly arrived at the hospital.

“Why are you here?” Su Lu was changing the bandage, and she smiled at him.

“Please don’t laugh. Moving the wound is not good for recovery,” the nurse advised.

Five minutes later, the bandage was changed.

Seeing the wound at the corner of Su Lu’s eye, Gu Xin felt remorseful, “Little Lu, I…”

Apologies seemed inadequate.

“It was an accident,” Su Lu replied.

Gu Xin took a deep breath, “I owe you. Your dad came to my house yesterday to talk.”

“I know, he told me,” Su Lu responded.

However, Gu Xin let out a cold laugh, not directed at Su Lu but at Su Yukang.

“He said it was my fault this time, so he hopes that my parents will speak well of you in formal occasions, to avoid affecting his plans for your future remarriage.”

It was no wonder even someone as easygoing as Gu Xin couldn’t help but sneer.

“You can say I’m wrong a hundred times, and I’ll admit it a hundred times, but what about him? If it wasn’t for their coercion back then, would we have all these troublesome matters today?”

Su Lu let out a long breath, “Let’s not discuss that. You don’t have to worry about me. I’ll go to Hai City to inspect that project in a couple of days. We can discuss it once the public opinion dies down…”

“You’re right. When I was about to remove the public opinion, I discovered that the relevant discussions about you had already been removed by Jiang Li.”

“Jiang Li? The second young master of Jianghe Media?” Su Lu was puzzled, “Why would he…”

Su Lu was stunned. He thought about how Bo Jingshen had saved him when she was surrounded by reporters yesterday. He was also photographed at that time, and he had a close relationship with Jiang Li.

She was probably benefiting from that connection.

Speaking of the devil, Jiang Li walked into the ward with a basket of flowers and fruits.

“Oh? President Gu is here,” Jiang Li raised his eyebrows and smiled, then looked at Su Lu with a beaming smile, “I came to see if your injuries are improving.”

“Much better,” Su Lu replied, “I just found out that it was Young Master Jiang who helped suppress the public opinion. Thank you.”

Su Lu’s gaze shifted to the man entering behind Jiang Li.

Today, Bo Jingshen wasn’t wearing a suit. He had on a thin white cashmere sweater, a khaki-colored overcoat with a horn button, black slim-fitting jeans that accentuated his extraordinarily long legs, and a pair of semi-new canvas shoes.

With just one glance, his appearance overlapped with the image of the young man in her memories.
