Su Ran was baffled by the fact of Lu Shao showing up abruptly in the comment area of her friend’s circle. But then she thought to herself that this Mr. Lu was also a parent of a student and possibly that his child was also in the same class as Su Han. So that’d make sense for him to be there.
Su replied: Yeah, he is.
There were only limited number of people within the friend’s circle, so after Su Ran had replied to that last message, she figured there wouldn’t be more messages coming from other parents and was about to put away her cellphone and enjoy her dinner.
Low and behold, a new comment popped up just a few seconds later.
Su Ran clicked it open and it was from Lu Shao again.
Second Piano Customer – Lu: Su Han?
Su replied: Yeah.

“Hey Son.” Su Ran, who had been playing on her cellphone the entire time suddenly looked up and at Su Han and asked, “A very serious problem had just occurred to me.”
Su Han, “……”
Mom, you don’t exactly look that all serious right now.
“This Quality Development Outing that your school is organizing has a lot of competitions and scores for all the events will be totaled up, right?” Su Ran finished her question, ignoring the resentful look from her son.
“Mhmm.”
“Is there a prize for the final winner?”
“I think so?” said Su Han after he gave it some thought. He took a look at Su Ran in front of him and asked, “What do you ask?”
“Then we are already at a disadvantage!” Su Ran frowned. Then, noticing the baffled look on her son, went on to explain. “Du WenTao’s mother said his father won’t be able to make the outing. There’s only you and I from our family. Ugh, I guess we can throw in Liu YangYang as well…
“That means with us teaming up with Du WenTao’s family, there are a total of three adults and the three of you. We don’t even have a man on our team.” Never mind about the competition events and the scores, they might not even be able to put the tent together!
This problem had just occurred to Su Ran when she came across Du WenTao’s mothers comment in the friend’s circle.
Hearing her words, Su Han’s face dropped right away.
“What do you mean there’s no man!” Was he not a man?
As if she had figured out the second half of the sentence that he did not say out loud, Su Ran gave Su Han a faint look.
“You don’t count. You are a boy. Same goes for Du WenTao and Liu YangYang,” said Su Ran to Su Han very decisively as she gave him a very serious look.
“I won’t let you lose!” said Su Han. His face filled with an unhappy look.
Was this woman questioning his ability?
Even if he was dragged down by both Liu YangYang and Du WenTao, he still wouldn’t let their score drop below any other team’s!
“Then have you figured out how to put together a tent yet?” Su Ran would be the first to admit that she didn’t.
“……” After a short pause, Su Han said in a low voice, “What so hard about that?”
Suddenly Su Ran’s phone rang.
Su Ran was a bit surprised by the name displayed on the screen.
“Eh?”
“What’s the matter?” Su Han looked up and asked.
“Oh, nothing. Just a call from a client.” Except that he hung up after just two rings.
Looking at the ID “Client – Mr. Lu”, Su Ran was somewhat baffled.
Lu Xun?
Why did he call her all of a sudden?
Did he butt-dial her?
Or that he was rushing her for the new music?
Su Ran felt that she wasn’t that far from the truth as she recalled the 600,000 yuan that he had deposited with her.
Su Ran had planned on borrowing Yu LeLe’s Studio to record a few pieces of piano music for Lu Shao today. Unfortunately, she had been busy the entire time that she was there and didn’t have the chance to.
After a slight hesitation, she sent him a text.
“Mr. Lu, your music will be delivered before this Friday.”
Clicked and sent.
