Chapter 14: Cure All Illnesses

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Su Lu didn’t refuse.

There was no reason, and she didn’t want to reject him.

It was still raining heavily outside, but it was much gentler than the storm yesterday.

The car parked in front of the hospital building was no longer the same one Bo Jingshen had parked yesterday.

It was another black SUV, solid and heavy, driving steadily on the road.

The driver had good skills, but… he was a chatterbox.

Su Lu asked in a low voice from the back seat, “Your car from yesterday…”

From their earlier conversation, she overheard between him and Zhuang Cainan outside the ward. It seemed that they mentioned the car being damaged.

Before Bo Jingshen could reply, the driver started talking, “It was smashed! I went and brought it back this morning. Oh, it was dangerous! The roof was deformed, the glass was cracked, and all the sunroofs were scrapped. Mr. Bo was lucky, though. The main impact was on the roof above the front passenger seat and the back seat. Otherwise, it would have been dangerous. The injury on Mr. Bo’s back was caused by the shattered glass from the sunroof.”

Although she didn’t see it with her own eyes, the driver’s eloquence was so good that Su Lu’s heart pounded, and her throat tightened just by listening to him.

Bo Jingshen was speechless. What kind of driver did Second Young Master Jiang find?

Su Lu turned to look at him.

“Are you still saying that we’re even now?” Bo Jingshen raised an eyebrow.

Su Lu was taken aback, and her cheeks turned red.

What was going on here? It was a matter of life and death, yet he could still make jokes?

She turned her gaze to the outside of the car window. Even though she hadn’t been to Hai City for five years, she had studied at university here and had some familiarity with the roads there.

Looking at the route, Su Lu was puzzled. “This… isn’t the way to the exhibition hall.”

“The exhibition doesn’t start until this afternoon. Let’s go back to the hotel first.”

Due to the impact of yesterday’s typhoon, the exhibition’s opening was postponed to today.

“But this isn’t the way back to the hotel.”

Bo Jingshen didn’t answer her. They would be there soon anyway.

The car stopped at the entrance of a high-end shopping mall. No matter how strong the wind and rain were outside, the mall was always brightly lit. It was like spring all year round.

“Good morning. What can I do for you?”

The salesperson in luxury stores were keen observers who could tell whether someone was a potential customer at a glance.

Seeing the two of them exuding exceptional elegance, the salesperson promptly approached them with enthusiasm.

Su Lu didn’t know what was so special about her hospital gown that was covered with a shirt.

She only felt that she was probably benefiting from Bo Jingshen’s aura.

Her clothes had gotten dirty at the construction site yesterday, and she didn’t have an assistant like Little Qiu to bring her clean clothes.

“Pick two outfits for her and a formal gown.”

“Understood.”

Su Lu didn’t pretend and followed the salesperson into the fitting room. She casually placed her cell phone and a small bag on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

Bo Jingshen sat on the sofa and waited.

On the coffee table, the screen of her phone suddenly lit up.

In silent mode, the call came through without any sound, and only the name of the caller, “President Liu,” appeared on the screen.

Bo Jingshen quickly had an impression of President Liu, the bald man who had appeared at the dinner party that day.

A hint of viciousness flashed past his eyes.

Before he could decline the call, the call was disconnected.

After a while, a message came in.

He didn’t even need to open it to read a summary.

“Little Lu, I heard you went to Hai City recently because you were feeling down. I’ll accompany you to relax…”

Soon, the second message arrived.

“Little Lu, I bought you a bag. When should we have a meal together so I can give it to you…”

Bo Jingshen’s expression turned cold as he looked over to the opulent display case of women’s handbags illuminated by the dazzling lights.

When Su Lu emerged from the fitting room, she saw the man sitting on the sofa in the lounge area. He exuded a cold and noble aura, sitting there gracefully, casually swiping his phone.

On the ground beside his feet, there were a few exquisite bags neatly placed.

Bo Jingshen’s gaze coldly shifted as he looked towards the fitting room upon hearing her footsteps. When their eyes met, he momentarily froze.

Su Lu was beautiful, and that was never a secret.

Compared to the aggressive and sharp beauty of some women, Su Lu possessed a gentle and understated beauty.

This woman was always beautiful whenever he saw her. Sometimes, she would unexpectedly take someone’s breath away, just like now.

She was wearing a starry purple strapless dress that wrapped around her body, revealing her slender figure, fair and beautiful right-angle shoulders, and collarbones. Under the skirt, her fair and straight legs were also quite eye-catching.

Her long hair, smooth and dense, cascaded down her back. Her eyebrows and eyes were like a painting. Even without makeup, she was still beautiful and warm.

The salesperson led her to a large, reflective mirror.

“This outfit suits you perfectly,” the salesperson complimented, sincerely impressed.

Su Lu nodded slightly in agreement.

A low, masculine voice came from behind her. “I’ll take this outfit.”

The salesperson’s eyes lit up. “Okay, I’ll package it for you.”

The other two outfits were also appealing. Su Lu directly changed into one, which softened her lines while still maintaining a clean style.

As soon as she stepped out, she noticed Bo Jingshen signing the receipt.

Su Lu hesitated. “I can buy it myself.”

Although she didn’t possess the wealth of Bo Jingshen, who could afford a Gulfstream G650, she could still afford a few sets of clothes.

Bo Jingshen only glanced at her from the side. His hands didn’t stop moving as he signed the receipt.

In front of the salesperson, Su Lu was too lazy to be pretentious. It was only a few outfits, so she didn’t decline the offer.

Unexpectedly, after leaving the mall and getting into the car, Bo Jingshen handed her the bags.

Su Lu asked, “For me?”

“I heard bag can cure all ailments,” Bo Jingshen glanced at her and said, “Consider it a way to ward off bad luck.”

Su Lu looked at the several bags and her lips curved into a faint smile. “Thank you.”

She couldn’t help feeling a little guilty, thinking about how she had promised to take care of Bo Jingshen for Jiang Li. She murmured, “I don’t know who is taking care of whom.”

Her voice was not loud.

Perhaps Bo Jingshen heard it, perhaps not.

The car quickly arrived at the hotel.

“Have a good rest. Join me at the exhibition in the afternoon,” Bo Jingshen said before they went to their rooms.

Su Lu couldn’t resist and reached out to stop him.

Bo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, looking at her. “Hmm?”

“You… you have an injury on your back, so don’t take a shower.”

He smiled and grabbed her wrist. “If you’re so worried, why don’t you just move into my room and personally supervise me?”

The wrist that he was holding seemed to be burning. Su Lu quickly pulled it back.

Su Lu opened the door, entered the room, and closed the door in one go.

Bo Jingshen stood in front of the tightly closed suite door, looking down at his fingers. It was as if the smooth and cool sensation of the delicate skin on her fair wrist still lingered on his fingertips.

After a while, he swiped his card and entered his suite.

He held his phone and made a call.

His voice was unusually cold.

“Investigate Liu Qiming for me.”

The voice on the other end of the phone carried an air of professionalism and formality. “Yes, sir. I will provide you with a response as soon as possible.”

“Then how about the media company I mentioned before?” Bo Jingshen took a drag of his cigarette, and the scent of tobacco gradually filled the air.

“Don’t worry. It’s been handled properly.”

Only then did Bo Jingshen hang up the phone. The smoke dispersed from his eyes.

The woman living in the adjacent suite was easygoing and didn’t make a fuss when she was harassed by a rogue reporter from a second-rate media company.

Bo Jingshen had a bad temper and was not so easy to appease.

As for the bald man, Liu Qiming?

The man’s handsome face was covered with a layer of hostility.
