    Because he was an old employee of Zhao Tong’s house, the general manager and their family were all familiar with each other. They even visited each other during the holidays and such.

    Moreover, this general manager had worked here since he was a young man, starting as a doorman. After more than a decade, he had slowly been promoted to his position today. The Old Zhao family had watched him get married and have children.

    He was very grateful to the Old Zhao family and was very familiar with them, so he wasn’t so uptight when speaking.

    "Pfft—" Su Lu couldn’t help butugh.

    Zhao Ying couldn’t hold it in either andughed as well, "Brother Wang."

    The general manager felt a bit embarrassed and scratched his head, "Ms. Zhao, did I say something wrong?"

    Zhao Ying helplessly waved her hand, "You better ask my daughter."

    The general manager turned to Su Lu, "Miss, did I say something wrong?"

    Su Lu pointed at Zhao Xiaole and said, "Xiaole, tell uncle."

    Zhao Xiaole looked at the general manager and said, "Uncle Manager, this is my dad."

    The general manager was stunned. He obviously knew that Master Xiaole was the child born out of wedlock of the youngdy, and although the Shen family was quite against it, the Zhao family was very calm about it, believing it added fortune and blessings. It was considered a happy event.

    So, the general manager had never delved into who Master Xiaole’s father really was.

    Right now, looking at Bo Jingshen, the general manager also realized that Master Xiaole indeed resembled this man.

    "You, hello, I’m really sorry." The general manager apologized to Bo Jingshen.

    Bo Jingshen waved his hand, "Forget it, it’s fine."

    Being able to interact with Su Lu’s circle over these years had already made Bo Jingshen very happy. So, he didn’t mind what the general manager called him, whether it was a bodyguard or a nanny. He was willing either way.

    The general manager led them into a private room, and the dishes had been ordered in advance. As soon as they arrived, the dishes were quickly served.

    The general manager personally brewed them some appetizer tea before the meal and poured it for them while speaking with Zhao Ying, "Now there’ll be less nonsense from the Shen side."

    Zhao Ying picked up her cup and smiled at him, "Aren’t you in the service industry? Howe you’re speaking so roughly now?"

    "I can’t help but feel indignant for Miss Qianqian." The general manager grinned, "Now that I see the son-inw, he seems very talented and it feels good to be able to hold our heads up high."

    "Vulgar." Zhao Ying said with augh.

    The general manager nodded repeatedly, "Isn’t everyone a bit vulgar..."

    He thought for a moment and then said to Zhao Ying, "Now, when Old Sir Shen has his birthday celebration, Miss should bring the son-inw to open their eyes."

    Su Lu, while drinking tea,ughed and said, "Alright, alright, Brother Wang, rest assured, I’ll definitely take him to open their eyes, stop worrying for me."

    Unexpectedly, Su Lu hadn’t even had the chance to take him to celebrate Old Sir Shen’s birthday.

    They had barely begun eating when Zhao Tong arrived in a hurry.

    "Sorry for beingte!" Zhao Tong panted heavily, obviously having run into the ce after parking the car; his hurried appearance was indeed nothing like his former self.

    He immediately poured himself a cup of tea and gulped it down, then looked up and asked, "Aunt, Brother Wang hasn’t treated you poorly, has he?"

    "No. He’s been very attentive, you know that." Zhao Ying said, handing him a napkin, "Wipe your sweat, what’s the rush? We’re not going anywhere."

    "My sister came back from Feng City, how could I note early to personally wee her? And my beloved Xiaole!" Zhao Tong stretched out his hand to Zhao Xiaole.

    Zhao Xiaole obediently let him hold him, "Little Uncle!"

    "Hey, sweetie." Zhao Tong held Zhao Xiaole and jumped on the spot, then his gaze slowly moved to Bo Jingshen, "Why are you here?"

    Bo Jingshen: "..."

    He squinted at Zhao Tong and grinned eerily, "Call me brother-inw."

    Now it was Zhao Tong’s turn to be speechless.

    But his status at home wasn’t that high, his sister held the highest status, so he couldn’t help but look over at Su Lu. Pitifully, "Sis..."

    Su Lu said, "So why did you bother him if there was no problem?"

    Shen Xun didn’t even look up, "Because he deserved it."

    Zhao Tong had no choice but to sit down.

    The waiter immediately brought him new cutlery, "President Zhao, would you like to add any dishes?"

    Zhao Tong shook his head, "No need to add more. Are they still in the Xiangyun Room?"

    The waiter nodded, "Yes, they just ordered another bottle of wine."

    "Okay, I got it."

    After the waiter left, Zhao Tong turned to them and said, "This is also one of the reasons I rushed over."

    Zhao Ying asked, "Who’s in the Xiangyun?"

    Though she asked, she already had a guess in her mind.

    Sure enough, Zhao Tong said, "Shen Jiming."

    Zhao Ying frowned, "So annoying."

    Shen Xun put down his chopsticks, "Should I go over?"

    "What for? If you go, he’ll think we’re giving him face. Just ignore him!" Zhao Ying said.

    Bo Jingshen, listening by the side, could also tell from their conversation that Shen Jiming was Su Lu’s biological father.

    He was also that frivolous man who, because of his affairs outside, caused Su Lu to be separated from her mother and brother for a long time, enduring many hardships.

    Even though Shen Xun wouldn’t say he didn’t recognize Shen Jiming, to say he had any affection or favor towards this father would be an overstatement.

    Even if he had many feelings for his father as a child, after the family broke apart due to his father’s infidelity and the loss of his sister, any remaining affection also shattered.

    And as for Su Lu, even less needed to be said.

    Completely devoid of feelings, to this day she hadn’t even called him "Dad."

    "Sigh." Zhao Tong felt somewhat helpless, "I don’t know if the Shen Family is really struggling these days or what, but Shen Jiming’s attitude of always wanting to lean on our family looks like he’s trying to cling to Aunt."

    "Seeing him just disgusts me," Zhao Ying said, "My life is going well, and his shameless persistence makes me want to find a boyfriend soon to get him to give uppletely."

    Bo Jingshen, sitting to the side, didn’t dare to make a sound, his eyes briefly meeting Su Lu’s.

    Su Lu looked down and sent him a message.

    Bo Jingshen’s phone vibrated, and he looked down to see Su Lu’s WeChat message.

    deer: My biological father, now that he’s older, seems to want some stability, so he’sing back to bother my mom.

    Bo Jingshen was speechless.

    After thinking, he replied to her.

    Bambi: What if we bump into himter?

    Su Lu was replying to him, thinking about reassuring him that they wouldn’t meet.

    She hadn’t even finished typing the message when the door to the private room was pushed open, and the face of a rather spirited middle-aged man peeked in. He had a refined aura, clearly disying the charm of his younger days.

    Bo Jingshen knew right away that this man was definitely Shen Jiming.

    There was no helping it, because... Su Lu was the spitting image of him.

    It’s often said that daughters look like their fathers, and this was indeed no lie.

    Shen Jiming smiled warmly, his voice gentle, "Qianqian, Axun, you’re all here."
