h4Chapter 572: Chapter 572/h4

Shen Heyu actually didn’t think much of Su Lu, although he knew she had been abandoned outside for many years and felt quite sorry for her. So, when she first returned, the Shen Family, including him, truly felt sympathy for her.

For a very short period.

Then they began to nitpick, finding dissatisfaction with everything she did, nothing meeting their expectations.

Not to mention, after learning that she had been divorced before, in their eyes, she became just like Zhao Ying.

Her mother had divorced Shen Jiming, so it was no surprise she would divorce a man too.

As for Su Lu, whose belly kept growing day by day with no father of the child appearing, it was almost certain she was an unwed mother.

My goodness, the Shen Family was about to explode.

Using Zhao Ying’s words from that time: people who did not know better might think that the child in my daughter’s belly wasing out with the direct intention of digging up the Old Shen Family’s ancestral grave. Their agitation... it was simplyughable.

In the view of the Shen Family, someone like Su Lu, if it weren’t illegal to kill, should be drowned in a pig cage.

A disgrace.

So much so that in their eyes, Su Lu was the very model of indecency.

So much so that their attitude towards Su Lu was one of scorn.

So now, seeing Su Lu bring a man over, Shen Heyu didn’t bother to courteously ask, "Is this your friend?"

Or even, "Is this your boyfriend?"

Shen Heyu, opening his mouth, bluntly asked, "This is...? Your paramour?"

Paramour.

He, Bo Jingshen, had been secretly in love for ten years and finally got his wish, marrying the woman he loved.

He couldn’t express how happy he was, "Su Lu’s husband," that was by far his favorite title, more delightful to him than being the BOSS of Boss by countless folds.

And what had it be in this person’s mouth?

Paramour?

Were it not for the fact they were in a public setting, Bo Jingshen would have be physical.

Bo Jingshen’s cold gaze swept over, that aura...

Even Su Lu was a bit scared, afraid he would take action because that aura was no joke. Ever since reconciling with Bo Jingshen, and even before that, Bo Jingshen had always been temperate in front of her, keeping his aura in check and not showing it.

So she never felt there was anything imposing about him, but with that one sentence from Shen Heyu, it felt as though knives were practically radiating from Bo Jingshen.

Su Lu had only one feeling: Bo Jingshen was either going to take action directly or he wouldn’t hesitate to retort with "I’m your father."

Such was Bo Jingshen’s temperament, he was never one to have a good temper!

"I am—" Bo Jingshen began to speak, indeed intending to say ’I’m your father.’

Su Lu understood him well.

But, because Su Lu understood him so well, she spoke even faster to interrupt, "He is my husband."

Given all previously mentioned, Bo Jingshen felt a very strong psychological satisfaction in titles like ’Su Lu’s husband,’ so when he heard Su Lu say that phrase...

The restlessness in his heart was soothed quite a bit.

He took a deep breath, holding back the urge to act like Shen Heyu’s father, after all, Shen Heyu’s real father was sitting at the main seat upstairs in the banquet hall, waiting to celebrate his longevity.

Moreover, Bo Jingshen could tell that Su Lu’s tone was not friendly, but very cold.

Su Lu looked at Shen Heyu with a detached gaze and continued, "Mr. Shen, please mind your words. Maintain the basic respect between guests, after all, today is a good day, and no one wants to turn this asion ugly."

Shen Heyu’s face turned from white to red, then from red to ck, a truly colorful disy.

It took him a while before he managed to squeeze out a sentence, "I am your younger uncle."

Su Lu smiled faintly, "Who acknowledged that?"

After saying this, Su Lu nced at the sign next to her that read ’Wanshou Hall on the second floor of the birthday banquet’.

She then took Bo Jingshen’s hand and went upstairs.

Shen Heyu’s face was extremely ugly, but soon other guests arrived and he had to suppress the resentment in his heart, putting on a smile to continue weing the guests.

While Su Lu was leading Bo Jingshen upstairs, he turned to her and said, "Are you angry?"

Su Lu turned her head to look at him and asked at the same time, "Feel better?"

The couple caught each other’s eye and both startedughing.

She was worried that Bo Jingshen was still angry, so she had raised her voice at Shen Heyu earlier, also as a way to vent for Bo Jingshen. Her nature was rather indifferent, sometimes not bothering with people she didn’t care about.

But that didn’t mean she would silently tolerate someone bullying a person she cared about. That was evident during the time when Cheng Youran was wrongfully involved in a disturbance at the hospital, and she flew into a rage.

Bo Jingshen was worried she might get angry because he knew she might not feel much when she herself was bullied, but she would definitely get furious if he were mistreated.

They both understood each other so well, and it was precisely this understanding that led to their unspoken connection.

"If they still act like this when we get upstairs, just let it go. There’s no point in wasting words with such people, and you don’t need to get angry either. I’ll handle it myself; when have I ever let myself suffer in silence?" Bo Jingshen cooed to her. "You don’t have to stand up for me and upset yourself."

Su Lu looked over at him, disagreeing with his words. She clearly knew that he was saying this just to keep her from the hassle.

"That’s not okay. If I don’t stand up for you in front of them, what would I be then?" Su Lu said. "I don’t care. If they say anything about you, I will definitely fight back. I didn’t care much when they talked about me before, but if they talk about Xiao Le, I’ll get mad and bite back, and they know it. They stopped mentioning Xiao Le afterward. Actually, all of them deserved a good scolding toe to their senses."

To put it crudely, they were shameless.

Upon arriving upstairs, Wanshou Hall was actually quite lively. Many guests had already arrived and were chatting with each other.

The banquet hall wasrge, with a mixed-style setup. On one side, there were banquet tables arranged, while on the other, there was a buffet areaplete with champagne towers and dessert tables.

Guests were free to help themselves to whatever they wanted. At this moment, since the banquet had not yet started, many had taken drinks and snacks from the buffet and were sitting and chatting beside the tables.

Some stood at the buffet, holding their sses and chatting.

When Su Lu entered, Shen Xun immediately saw her; he was actually in the process of calling her to ask where she was.

Seeing here in, he hung up the call he was making and waved at her, "Lulu! Over here!"

Su Lu lifted her eyes and saw her brother, a smile spreading across her face, and she walked over to Shen Xun with Bo Jingshen in tow.

Shen Xun was dressed in a suit, his hair carefully styled, and a pair of gold-rimmed sses perched on the bridge of his nose with a gold chain dangling from the frame, looking very dapper and gentlemanly.

"Big Uncle." Bo Jingshen greeted Shen Xun with a smile.

Shen Xun clicked his tongue but still said with a smile, "Alright then, congrattions. Now you can legitimately call me Big Uncle."
