Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!-Chapter 63 - Where do I even start
63: Chapter 63 Where do I even start?
63 -63 Where do I even start?
Su Lu was in the midst of popping crispy chips into her mouth when she heard the remarks and her fingers froze.
The chips fell from her fingertips, and she didn’t bother to pick them up.
“See you on Monday?”
“It’s…
an expression from the internet.” Xu Ning thought she didn’t understand the meaning of the phrase and explained.
Su Lu, “I know what it means, but how could this happen to Chen Yaxi?”
Su Lu meant no disrespect toward Chen Yaxi, but to speak frankly, Chen Yaxi was just a minor model.
Even with some fame, she was not at the level where people would say ‘see you on Monday.’
“Besides, Gu Xin wouldn’t just sit by and watch,” Su Lu added.
The outside world might not know, but Su Lu was very aware that Chen Yaxi and Gu Xin had registered their marriage and were legal spouses, with the heir of the Gu Family in her belly.
No matter what, the Gu Family wouldn’t just ignore it.
Xu Ning nodded, “Yes, but I heard that this time she was specifically targeted.
I’m not sure about the details, but since there are such rumors, there must be some reason behind it, and the implications could be significant.”
Su Lu felt a vague sense of foreboding but couldn’t quite articulate it just yet.
After some thought, she decided to send WeChat to Gu Xin to express her concern.
Thinking of Qiao Li’s matter, she didn’t forget to tell Xu Ning, “There might be someone from my brother coming to help me, which will ease your burden.
This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.
Please organize the data for those projects you’re piled up with, and I’ll have him take over.”
Xu Ning was nearly moved to tears.
She wasn’t too ambitious and didn’t plan to monopolize all the projects to boost her own achievements.
She knew how to live wisely, aiming just to learn from her work and handle a volume within her energy range was more than sufficient.
“Boss, I love you.” Xu Ning’s lips were smeared with a ring of oil from eating sesame balls, which looked unexpectedly comical.
Su Lu watched this and started to laugh.
By the afternoon, she still hadn’t received a reply from Gu Xin, and Su Lu worried that this time he was really in over his head.
Mainly because Su Lu considered that this incident was very likely, possibly…
Involved Su Zhe, who was cunning, a fact Su Lu was well aware of.
Ah, she still needed to persuade her brother.
Although she hadn’t heard from Gu Xin by the afternoon, an unexpected visitor had arrived.
Su Lu was a bit surprised at the middle-aged woman walking into her office.
“How come you’re here?”
Su Lu held back a certain address, as until not long ago, out of courtesy, she would have to call this woman “mom.”
Because the elegant woman before her was Gu Xin’s mother, Xue Xiaolan.
Since she and Gu Xin were no longer legally related, the title didn’t seem quite right, so Su Lu added, “Aunt Xue.”
Xue Xiaolan smiled, a smile that seemed a bit stiff and awkward, probably feeling that meeting in such capacities now made many things different.
“Yes, I just wanted to come and see you,” Xue Xiaolan said, pointing at the door, “I brought you some nourishment.
Make sure to eat it; I noticed you’ve lost weight.
Also, I heard you had a close call in Hai City?
You really need to take good care of yourself.”
“Thank you, Auntie, you went through the trouble; I’ll remember to eat it,” Su Lu said warmly.
Xue Xiaolan looked at her, sighing inwardly.
She was always like this, gentle, graceful, courteous in every aspect.
To be honest, Xue Xiaolan initially wasn’t very satisfied with the Su Family as in-laws, since Su Yukan was too opportunistic, Zhu Xinyan was too trivial, and, ultimately, it was the case of elevating a mistress to a legitimate position.
It undoubtedly made it difficult for Xue Xiaolan, a wife from a prestigious family with an official wedding, to approve.
When her husband said he wanted to arrange such a marriage for their son, Xue Xiaolan’s heart had a hundred objections.
It was only after she met Su Lu and spent time with her that Xue Xiaolan’s resistance began to dissipate.
Because Su Lu really was someone who made you feel comfortable to be around.
She didn’t come across as opportunistic or rude, everything was just right.
Apart from the lack of affection with Gu Xin, Xue Xiaolan could hardly find any faults in her.
She was extremely satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
If it really came down to it, the Gu Family were all quite satisfied with Su Lu, otherwise they wouldn’t have cooperated with the Su Family on so many projects during their marriage.
It was said to be in consideration of the Su Family, but in reality, it was mostly for Su Lu.
And now, such a good daughter-in-law was lost, with the fault lying on her own son, and the two had no property disputes, no children, and not even much emotional attachment.
As a result, when they divorced, Xue Xiaolan and Gu Changlin couldn’t really say much.
They just couldn’t find the words.
Xue Xiaolan was a picky high-society lady to begin with, let alone having had Su Lu as a daughter-in-law, a gem in her eyes.
She really disapproved of Chen Yaxi, scrutinizing every detail with displeasure.
Every aspect of Chen Yaxi was a flaw in her eyes.
Xue Xiaolan despised Chen Yaxi’s unrespectable profession, despised that she got involved with Gu Xin during his marriage, viewing her as the worst kind of mistress a distinguished wife could disdain.
And she even got pregnant before marriage!
The more Xue Xiaolan thought about it, the angrier she became, feeling more and more it was such a pity, having had such a good daughter-in-law, only for it to fall apart.
She watched as Su Lu skillfully served her favorite tea, which she had prepared herself.
Xue Xiaolan sighed, “Ah!”
Su Lu asked gently, “Is something wrong?
Is there anything I can help with?”
Xue Xiaolan picked up the cup, quickly put it down, and then took Su Lu’s hand.
Su Lu was taken aback and turned her hand over to gently pat the back of Xue Xiaolan’s hand, reassuring, “Aunt, just say it.”
Xue Xiaolan stared at her earnestly, hesitating for a moment before asking seriously, “Xiaolu,”
“Mhm, I’m here.”
“Could you perhaps…” Xue Xiaolan bit her lip, hesitating, obviously troubled.
Su Lu thought she might have come because of the issue with Chen Yaxi and was hesitant to speak up due to saving face, so prepared to bring up the subject herself.
Unexpectedly…
After Xue Xiaolan bit her lip, her resolve seemed to strengthen, and she said earnestly, “Xiaolu, can you forgive our Axin?”
Su Lu: “…”
Su Lu’s mind first filled with question marks, followed immediately by exclamation marks!
What was this all about?!
She never expected this.
She initially thought that Gu Xin had already pacified his family, but it seemed that might not be the case.
However… she couldn’t really blame Gu Xin for this, since in the matter of their divorce, she hadn’t managed to pacify Su Yukan either.
“Aunt, this…” Su Lu, somewhat helpless, said, “Where do I even start?”
Having started the conversation, it wasn’t difficult for Xue Xiaolan to continue, her tone even becoming somewhat urgent, “Axin’s father and I are both very pleased with you!
It’s true that Gu Xin was at fault!
We failed in our upbringing and wronged you.
Please forgive him this once.
I have some shares in Gu Family industries in my name, and properties in several cities.
If you can forgive Axin, all of these I will leave to you!
I really… can’t bear to part with you.”
