Chapter 276: Chapter 276: Opportunity Su Lu: "I..." She didn't know how to start, nor could she say that she didn't want to know.
If she didn't want to know, why would she have driven herself to the detention center first thing in the morning? Nor could she say that she really wanted to know. If she really wanted to know, then what would all the protection her brothers had given her for the past few years mean, not to mention their refusal to talk about that man in front of her? So, Su Lu didn't know how to start for a moment.
Su Zhe even considered this and saw her open her mouth and utter a syllable before falling silent, clearly not intending to make her feel awkward.
Without waiting for her to continue, Su Zhe already waved his hand and said, "Alright, I'll look into it." After saying that, Su Zhe instinctively looked towards Qiao Li, as he usually took care of these things in Feng City. But turning to look at Qiao Li, Su Zhe realized it wasn't quite appropriate.
When he had called earlier today to remind Qiao Li to pick someone up from the detention center, he already knew what Qiao Li was going to do, since Su Zhe was quite clear on the phone.
"My sister might have... gone to the detention center. Could you go pick her up? It's quite a long journey, and she drove there herself. Why don't you drive back? Qiao Li, they've been apart for nearly six years now. He went in and you didn't push; now that he's about to get out, if you don't try, you might not get another chance." Su Zhe hadn't kept anything from him on the phone.
And Qiao Li also hadn't kept anything from him on the phone, directly saying that he would seize the opportunity.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSo at this moment, Su Zhe felt it inappropriate to look towards Qiao Li again, as he couldn't possibly ask Qiao Li to help find out about this.
In fact, Su Zhe felt it was inappropriate that on one end he had been reminding Qiao Li not to miss the opportunity, while on the other, he was planning to help Su Lu investigate.
But there was no way around it; he couldn't bear to let his old friend wait in vain.
And for Su Lu, it was the heartache for his sister.
Su Lu couldn't help but raise her hand to vigorously scratch her hair, so she just glanced at Qiao Li but quickly turned away without saying anything, just scratching her hair vigorously.
It was Qiao Li, who didn't even lift his eyes, still carefully helping Zhao Xiaole peel shrimp and pick fishbones, and spoke indifferently, "I've actually heard snews." Qiao Li said this and lifted his gaze, giving Su Lu a direct, steady look before simply stating, "However, due to my personal interests, I hadn't told you all." Su Zhe was taken aback.
Su Lu blinked her eyes, said nothing, and sipped her orange juice.
Su Zhe coughed lightly and asked, "So, what's the situation?" "The details aren't particularly clear; I just vaguely understand that his current situation is inseparable from his father," Qiao Li said.
Then, instead of putting the freshly peeled shrimp from the spoon into Zhao Xiaole's bowl, he spooned them into Su Lu's bowl.
He continued, "I didn't investigate in detail at the tbecause I wasn't very interested, so I only knew the news I had heard then. But if you want to know more details, I can investigate further. It's just that now it might not be as easy as it was then." This was not hard to understand, as Bo Jingshen had naturally used multiple channels to suppress a lot of information very tightly.
After all, not only was his own family's business significant, but also a close friend's family who was in media, the Jiang Family brothers.
Su Lu fell silent for a moment after hearing the words, and then gently shook her head, "Forget it." It wasn't that she didn't want to know, but it wasn't... something she particularly wanted to know.
Just hearing Qiao Li mention that the matter was inseparable from Bo Jingshen's father, she vaguely had a guess. Bo Jingshen's legal father had passed away long ago, and his biological father...
Su Lu thought of the middle-aged man's stern face and shook her head, trying to shake those memories out of her mind.
She didn't really want to know, perhaps it was a self-protection mechanism at play? Or maybe... Su Lu thought she still wanted sdignity, and she worried about her own soft-heartedness.
This was just Cheng Youran's nicer way of putting it; if Su Lu put it more harshly, it would be that she was a glutton for punishment.
What if she softened again? What if she approached again? What if...
Wasn't it painful enough already? Qiao Li turned to look deeply at her, and after several seconds of silence, his eyes softened warmly, "Are you sure you don't need to know? It's no trouble for me. I can keep professional and personal matters separate." "Um, no need," Su Lu nodded.
Under the table, her hand rested on her knee, she flexed her fingers once, then clenched her fist tightly.
After taking a deep breath, she turned to Zhao Xiaole and said, "Son, how about we go to Three Gardens this weekend?" Zhao Xiaole at first didn't understand what this 'trip to Three Gardens' meant, but being clever, he quickly got it. Once he understood, he cheered loudly, nearly jumping up.
"Wow! Really, really, really! Mom, Mom, is it really true!"
"Of course it's real," Su Lu smiled, pursed her lips and thought for a moment, "I've checked, and your m godmother has also toldthat' these three parks, if you only play for one day in each, you won't be able to really enjoy as you'll only skim the surface. That's why I've booked a week-long family package. We can play and also stay inside the thhotel's family suite." "Wow! That's great, that's great, that's great! Su Xiaolu, I love you, love you, love you!" Zhao Xiaole's eyes sparkled brightly, so excited that he couldn't even eat.
Next to them, Qiao Li smiled with his lips and wiped off the food and rice that the child had accidentally spat out due to his excitement with a tissue, "Don't choke yourself." Su Lu looked at him, then turned back to Zhao Xiaole, "Lele, but..." Zhao Xiaole gulped, "But... but?" Even children knew that a 'but' often prefaced a twist, that could completely overturn the prior happiness.
So Zhao Xiaole suddenly becnervous.
Su Lu nodded, "Yeah, but, you see, you're a big baby now, and if you want to play in the three parks for a e week, Mamalone might not manage, especially since sometimes I'd need to carry you, and Mom doesn't have that much strength." Zhao Xiaole immediately wanted to say that he could walk on his own! No need for Mom to carry him! Fearing that Su Lu might cut their playtshort because of this.
But instead, Su Xiaolu said, "So... how about we ask Uncle Qiao to join us? Uncle Qiao is stronger than Mom and can definitely carry you, my big baby." Qiao Li's hands stopped in place, and his eyes lifted suddenly, nearly bewildered by the unexpected suggestion. Meanwhile, Zhao Xiaole's eyes shone brightly, and he nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, yes!" Chapter 276: Opportunity Tip: You can use left, right keyboard keys to browse between chapters.
