Chapter 573: Chapter 573
“If it wasn’t for being busy with this, | really should've given you two a proper celebration,” said Shen Xun.
Bo Jingshen didn’t mind that much, “It’s okay, there will be plenty of opportunities to celebrate in the future.”
He only cared about the result. The result he wanted had been achieved—Su Lu was now legally his wife. This
was more important to him than anything else.
As for whether or not Shen Xun had the tto celebrate for them, Bo Jingshen thought it was not a problem at
all.
“This isn’t something you can dismiss just because you're fine with it,” Shen Xun glanced at him.
Bo Jingshen suddenly realized that Shen Xun’s words weren't for him, Bo Jingshen, at all. At the end of the day, it
was because he didn’t want his sister, Su Lu, to feel neglected. To be honest, it had little to do with Bo Jingshen.
Perhaps, if Su Lu’s husband wasn’t Bo Jingshen but sother ‘Cat Jingshen’ or ‘Dog Jingshen,” Shen Xun would
still have the sattitude.
Su Lu smiled and said, “I also think it’s okay. I'm an adult now.”
“No matter if you're a hundred years old, as long as I'm alive, I'll always love you,” Shen Xun said. “You are my
only sibling connected by blood.”
Su Lu was undoubtedly touched by his words. She smiled with a curved lip, holding the sentiment in her heart,
but of course, she wouldn't continue to fan the flames of emotion and make the situation even more touching.
What would they do then? Hug and cry in front of everyone?
With a twist of her lips, Su Lu said, “Speaking like this, you're going to upset speople later.”
She gestured slightly with a tilt of her head toward the side, her meaning couldn’t be clearer.
Several gazes from not far away were directed their way. It was none other than the Shen Family’s cousins, Shen
Xun'’s younger male and female cousins.
As the eldest grandson of the main branch of the Shen Family, a family steeped in old-fashioned and patriarchal
values, Shen Xun was undoubtedly often held up as a role model.
Also, given his own excellence, he was seen as a benchmark among his younger male and female cousins and
was greatly admired by them.
They too had always hoped to be treated favorably by Shen Xun.
Who knew that Su Lu would suddenly appear, suddenly return? All of them ended up with nothing good. All the
concern and affection from their older cousin was snatched away by someone they barely remembered from
their childhood.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey wouldn't think like the older generation, who might feel spity for Su Lu’s hardships when she was lost
outside in the early years.
They instinctively disliked Su Lu.
They had always shown Su Lu a cold shoulder.
It was the sat this moment. Su Lu could clearly feel the hostility in the gazes from over there.
Bo Jingshen, of course, noticed it too and immediately frowned, “Uncle, I'm straightforward, so I'll just speak my
mind.”
As soon as Su Lu heard Bo Jingshen’s preamble, she almost realized that what he was about to say wouldn't be
very pleasant, and she thought about stopping him.
But Shen Xun, unbothered, nodded, “Go ahead.”
Bo Jingshen frowned and said coldly, “Is everyone in this family, apart from you, not quite right in the head?”
Shen Xun heard the words and smiled, “To be frank with you...”
He looked into Bo Jingshen'’s eyes, “This whole family are well-educated intellectuals, so when confronted with
their ignorance, it’s no use discussing whether or not they have been educated or are cultured, it just doesn’t
stand up. It only shows that a person’s ignorance is somewhat related to their education, but being educated
doesn’t necessarily mean being wise and certainly doesn’t mean an absence of ignorance.”
Indeed, that’s the truth.
In fact, when Su Lu first arrived in Beijing, she felt this way after briefly interacting with the Shen Family; she was
quite surprised at the time, after all, these days, even many families in the countryside were becoming more
enlightened.
For an intellectual family like the Shen Family to have such an atmosphere was simply preposterous.
It was also for this reason that Su Lu kept her distance from them more and more, to the point where they were
barely even acquaintances, just a nodding relationship.
“In any case, just bear with it, what else can you do?” Shen Xun said.
Bo Jingshen took those words as if Shen Xun was speaking to him, but quickly realized that Shen Xun wasn’t
speaking to Bo Jingshen, but to himself.
“Because what could be done? It's not like you can sever ties simply because they are not wise enough, too
ignorant; it hasn't cto that yet. Let's just wait and see...”
The unsaid words of Shen Xun spoke volumes; both Bo Jingshen and Su Lu were more or less aware that, in such
a family, unless they becas ignorant as the family members to fit in, severing ties was probably just a
matter of time.
Because the other party would always use their increasingly presumptuous ignorance, attempting to make you
accept their viewpoints.
In a bunch of round holes, being a square peg, conflict was inevitable.

Bo Jingshen stared into Shen Xun'’s eyes, “I'm not a patient person. | won't hold back or swallow my pride.”
Shen Xun understood what he meant and, after a moment's thought, said, “Just don’t resort to violence, give me
that much respect.”
No violence. Bo Jingshen thought he could manage that, and he nodded, “Of course, as long as they don’t lay a
hand on Su Xiaolu.”
Shen Xun pondered for a moment, then still asked, “Xiao Le isn’t coming today, right?”

Su Lu gave a helpless smile, “But Bo Jingshen wouldn't allow it.”

even a hint of disdain coming here, I'd be displeased.”
Shen Xun thought for a bit, “No problem, later I'll ask the waitstaff to pack up sabalones to take back.”
They chatted for quite a while in their corner and showed no intention of going over to greet the others. As
expected, the Shen Family’s patience ran thin, and someone cover to them.
Leading the way was the vanguard, Shen Xun'’s cousin Shen Kang.

In this regard, Shen Kang looked more like Shen Jiming, appearing very scholarly and genteel.
Yet the dislike in his eyes was barely concealed; after glancing at Su Lu, his cold gaze turned towards Bo
Jingshen, the smile on his face insincere.
