Chapter 465
But Su Lu still dutifully placated Bo Jingshen. There was no helping it—their statuses had changed.
As a fiancé, there had to be some privileges, after all.
So, through a mix of cajoling and persuading, Su Lu managed to learn from Bo Jingshen not only the content of the call from Zhou Xiaochu but also Bo Jingshen’s mood.
Perhaps it was also because of the change in their relationship that Bo Jingshen held back very little in front of her, sharing many things he previously could not voice.
After speaking his mind, he could not help but ask, "So what’s your take on my mom’s behavior here?"
Su Lu listened as Bo Jingshen mentioned that Zhou Xiaochu reminded him to visit his father’s grave. Furthermore, Bo Jingshen revealed that his father’s grave was a joint burial site, with the adjoining plot reserved for Zhou Xiaochu.
And this grave, when purchased, was entirely at Zhou Xiaochu’s discretion—not anyone else’s.
"People are inherently complex. One can grow attached to a dog after more than a decade, let alone a person."
"So do you think I should..." Bo Jingshen trailed off, pondered for a moment, and then concluded, "Never mind."
Su Lu did not press further but could somewhat guess that Bo Jingshen was contemplating whether to show leniency toward his mother.
Some people spend their entire lives healing the wounds of their childhood.
Some have never received maternal love and thus crave it all their life. That’s how people are—the absence makes them long for it all the more.
