Lu Shao, inside the car, also spotted Su Ran at the same time. He opened the car door, got out of the car, and started walking toward Su Ran.
“Instructor Su.”
“Oh hi, Mr. Lu. What a coincidence.” Su Ran nodded at him when Lu Shao greeted her. He was a very good customer.
“Yes, what a coincidence. You are here to pick up your kid?” asked Lu Shao.
He recalled that instructor Su mentioned that she was here to watch her kid in a game when he ran into her a week ago. His eyes darkened when he thought about that.
Not noticing the change in his look, Su Ran nodded when she heard Lu Shao’s question. “Yes.”
“Are you here to pick up your child too?” asked Su Ran.
Judging from Mr. Lu’s age, it was not unusual that he has a child. If his kid was in junior high, he had probably gotten married quite early.
That being said, Su Ran was quite surprised that the boss’s son was studying in No. 7 High School.
After all, in her impression, the children from the families in Dongshan Mansion would never attend a public school. Many of them even arranged for private tutors at home.
Lu Shao froze a little when he heard Su Ran’s question.
“Mmm,” he mumbled indifferently.
Sort of.
“You came very early then, Mr. Lu,” said Su Ran. She thought this boss was quite a responsible parent. Not only did he come to pick his child up in person, he even came so early.
According to the pictures posted by the mothers to their parents’ chat group, the cars outside of the No. 7 High School waiting for the kids would be double parked on both sides.
“Mmm,” mumbled Lu Shao again.
He didn’t come early. He had been here since this morning.
When he went early to the principal’s office, he had barely mentioned that he was looking for the boy and the principle immediately wanted to send someone to go and fetch the child.
That wasn’t what Lu Shao wanted nor was he in the mood to listen to the future educational plans so he just left. And waited outside.
“Instructor Su is quite early too. Do you usually come at this hour?”
“Haha, not really.” She had a bit of a guilty conscience. Su Han usually went home by himself, with the exception of that one time after the parent-teacher conference. This was the first time Su Ran came to pick Su Han up after school.
“I was looking at apartments and I can’t make up my mind. So I thought I’d get my kid to come look with me.” Having said that, there was a look of anticipation on Su Ran as she smiled.
She was very pretty.
Lu Shao quite enjoyed that, but there was also a feeling of blue in his heart.
“Looking at apartments? You plan on buying your own place?”
“Yeah, in Lucky District just east of the school. It’s very close to here. It’s less than 30-minute walk away and also a very safe area between there and here.” Su Ran couldn’t contain herself any more when they started talking about the new apartment that she was going to buy.
As she truly felt that the district was very nice, Su Ran reflexively wanted to recommend it to Lu Shao.
Perhaps she’d even get a discount for referring someone. Then, immediately, she recalled Lu Shao’s status and felt very embarrassed.
He was a boss driving a car that cost in the 8 digits to pick up his child from school. Why in the world would he care for a normal apartment that wasn’t even in the school district?
“Mmm.” Hearing that, Lu Shao looked over at Su Ran. His eyes flickered and there was lament in them.
Even though he had barely talked to this Instructor Su twice at school, but just from those exchanges alone, he could tell that she loved her child very much.
“What’s the matter? Have you run into some troubles?” asked Lu Shao reflexively when he saw that Su Ran seemed to have thought of something and was frowning.
“Oh, not troubles, per se. Just mulling over the two apartments that I have looked at. I like both of them and had a hard time making up my mind,” said Su Ran.
