Chapter 245 Celebrating that you didn't die

Evening, inside a high-end Western restaurant.

Sang Ruo sat down facing Shen Qingzhuo, looked up at him, and said, "I didn't expect you to bring me to eat Western food..."

“We don’t think we’ve ever eaten Western food together before, so I thought I’d like to have it with you.” Shen Qingzhuo carefully cut a steak for her and placed it in front of her: “That’s enough, Sister Xiaoruo.”

"Thanks."

Sang Ruo suddenly felt flattered and smiled faintly.

The last person to cut her steak was Bo Jinyan.

When she thought of that man, even her heartbeat quickened involuntarily.

Each time they lost contact, it was as if they had agreed to do so, neither of them willing to take the initiative to get closer.

She knew perfectly well that he was angry.

I'm not angry because she saved Shen Qingzhuo, but because of that kiss...

I hadn't figured out how to face him, which is why I hadn't made the call yet.

"Sister Xiaoruo, Sister Xiaoruo..."

Just then, an extremely gentle voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts.

After her thoughts were interrupted, Sang Ruo raised her eyes and looked at the man opposite her.

Shen Qingzhuo looked at her with some confusion: "Why are you suddenly spacing out? What are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing." She shook her head subconsciously. "I wasn't thinking about anything."

After responding to him, Sang Ruo lowered her head and continued eating her steak.

"Sister Xiaoruo, I'm really grateful to you this time. Thank you for saving me again. If it weren't for you, I probably would have been dead by now..."

There was a faint hint of gratitude in Shen Qingzhuo's voice.

The hands holding the knife and fork unconsciously tightened their grip.

Sang Ruo smiled faintly and didn't say anything more.

Shen Qingzhuo is a very loyal and affectionate person, which is why, even after she went to prison, she never gave up trying to find out about her all these years.

"Actually, I suspect that someone is framing me behind this, but I sent people to investigate, and so far we haven't found any clues. We still don't know who is behind this..."

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Shen Qingzhuo explained the matter to her.

After hearing his words, Sang Ruo was suddenly stunned for a moment.

But the words Liang Yuxin had said to her at the school gate that day involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

My first thought was, could it be her?

But then I thought about it again and it seemed unlikely.

No matter how ruthless Liang Yuxin is, she couldn't possibly kill it, right?

After a moment of thought, she asked, "Are there no suspects yet? Or have you offended anyone recently?"

"As you know, I've always liked to make good connections and rarely have grudges against others. Whether in business or in life, I really don't have any enemies."

Shen Qingzhu shook his head: "So I can't figure it out myself, I don't know who it is..."

As Sang Ruo listened to his explanation, her heart sank to the bottom once again.

The thought she had just dismissed suddenly resurfaced.

And this time, the thought lingered for a long time.

"But don't worry, I'll continue to investigate this matter thoroughly, and we'll catch the culprit sooner or later." Shen Qingzhuo suddenly picked up the wine glass on the table: "Let's not talk about those things anymore, how about we have a drink?"

After regaining her composure, Sang Ruo finally picked up the wine glass next to her and gently clinked it against his glass.

Clang—

The cups made a loud clanging sound when they collided with each other.

Sang Ruo tilted her head back to drink and saw a cold figure walking towards her.

He met the man's gaze and suddenly froze for a moment.

Immediately, the air pressure around him suddenly became extremely low.

The person who came was Bo Jinzhou.

He arrived looking travel-worn, not like someone coming for a meal, but more like someone who had received a tip-off and came to arrest someone.

After the man approached the dining table, he placed his hands on either side of the table and looked down at them: "Oh, on a date?"

Shen Qingzhuo raised her eyes for a moment, and after seeing that it was Bo Jinzhou, she gave him a cold look.

After a few seconds, he spoke softly, "Mr. Bo, what are you doing here? And how did you know we were eating here? Did you have someone follow us?"

Upon hearing this, Bo Jinzhou, who was already angry, instantly turned cold in his eyes: "I heard that Mr. Shen fell into the Yangtze River a few days ago and survived by a hair's breadth. Did you come here specifically to celebrate that you didn't die?"

Shen Qingzhuo hadn't expected him to say such harsh things, and her brows furrowed involuntarily.

"Bo Jinzhou, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Sang Ruo couldn't stand it anymore. Shence glared at him angrily, raising his voice considerably.

Bo Jinzhou's hand, which was supporting him on the dining table, clenched involuntarily.

With an angry look on his face, he retorted, "I'd like to ask you, what are you doing?"

"Sister Xiaoruo saved my life, so isn't it only right that I treat her to a meal? Why is Mr. Bo so angry? Besides, as far as I know, you two have already divorced..."

"Although we've already signed the papers, we're still in the cooling-off period. During the cooling-off period, we're still considered legally married! We've never actually been married, and I bet you didn't even know that?"

Bo Jinzhou straightened up and looked down at him, the coldness in his eyes becoming even more pronounced.

Sang Ruo knew that from the moment this man appeared, it was destined that tonight's dinner would not end peacefully.

To avoid any unnecessary trouble, she needed to get him away from the scene as soon as possible.

Coincidentally, their dinner party was also coming to an end, and it was time for them to leave.

"I've almost finished eating. I still have a few words to say to Mr. Bo, so I'll take my leave now."

"Okay, Sister Xiaoruo, take care. Send me a message when you get home..."

"Screw you!" Bo Jinzhou slammed his hands on the table in an instant, looking at Shen Qingzhuo with an angry expression: "Who gave you permission to have dinner with her alone? Are you planning to go to a hotel after dinner? Hmm?"

He suddenly lost control of his emotions, and even his voice became much louder.

This attracted the attention of onlookers.

Shen Qingzhuo's expression turned cold.

Is it because he admitted to being Sang Ruo's gigolo at the hospital last time that he's so angry?

Seeing his state, Sang Ruo dared not let him linger any longer, so she grabbed his hand and led him toward the door.

Once they arrived at the parking lot, Sang Ruo shook off his hand.

She looked at him indifferently, her voice unusually low: "What do you mean? Did you really send someone to follow me? Is that why they found me here?"
