In the past, Su Ran had always felt that Lu Shao replied quickly to his texts.
Nevertheless, this time, after Su Ran had sent the text, it was like a rock tossed into the ocean – she heard nothing back.
Perhaps it was a slip of his hand after all.
Su Ran grumbled to herself as she glanced over at her cellphone that was lying there quietly.
It couldn’t possibly by the photo that she had posted, right?
Up until now, Su Ran still hadn’t figure out whose parent Lu Shao was. That being said, that did not affect how Su Ran viewed him as a regular parent of someone in her son’s class.
As for his comment under her post, Su Ran did not pay it too much attention.
Su Ran had no idea how much emotion turmoil her reply had caused in Lu Shao.
Zhou Fu was summoned over to the Lu’s by Lu Shao in the middle of the night.
Once he had arrived at the Lu’s and entered into the study, Zhou Fu was stunned and a look of surprise crossed his face when he saw the frowning Lu Shao but was unable to tell what was bothering him.
As far as he could remember, his boss’s emotions had been stable and reserved ever since he had stabilized the Lu’s. He did not recall seeing this look on his boss especially in the past few years.
Irritable, confused, and seemingly hesitant?
Zhou Fu felt that he must have mistaken.
“Ugh, Sir?
“Is something wrong?” Zhou Fu walked over, stood in front of Lu Shao, and asked in a cautious, low voice.
The whole time he was thinking that: This shouldn’t be. Their few projects in City B seemed to all be going smoothly lately.
Besides, even if they were to run into some obstacles, none of them would be a big deal as far as the Lu’s housemaster was concerned.
Lu Shao seemed like he had just recollected himself when he heard Zhou Fu’s voice.
He neither confirmed nor denied.
“You had looked into Su… ahem, Su Han’s mother in the past as well?” Lu Shao looked up at Zhou Fu and asked in a deep voice.
Zhou Fu was stunned when he heard that.
He did look into Su Ran when he was looking into their little young master.
But his boss didn’t seem to care much about her so the information was just sitting around.
Mainly…
The woman’s background was so complicated.
As he was worried that learning about Su Ran would give his boss a bad impression about little young master as well, Zhou Fu had already made up his mind to shred the document.
As for Su Ran, Zhou Fu had already arranged for the Lu’s legal team to come up with a compensation plan. It even included compensating her for all of her future expenses.
He hadn’t expected that Lu Shao, who showed no interest in this previously, would ask about that woman out of the blue.
As such, when Mr. Lu suddenly brought up Su Han’s mother, Zhou Fu didn’t know how to response all of a sudden.
“Where’s the information on her?” Lu Shao frowned impatiently and asked again before Zhou Fu had said anything else.
“Ugh, it was just sitting at home. Hang on, let me get it for you right away,” said Zhou Fu as he quickly walked out of the study.
Just a few minutes time felt like a two-hour meeting with stockholders to Lu Shao.
A few minutes later, Zhou Fu returned to the study with a document in his hand.
“Sir, everything that you have asked for is here. This include what happened for over ten years ago to recent.” Zhou Fu let out a sigh of relief when he handed the document folder over to Lu Shao.
Luckily, he had kept this document previously just in case he might need it when he went to negotiate with the woman. He would otherwise already had destroyed it.
Except that…
Zhou Fu frowned a little when he saw Lu Shao took the document from him. He hesitated for a little bit and finally couldn’t help but said, “Sir, truth was, when it came to that woman, it wasn’t…” Zhou Fu was interrupted abruptly before he could finish his sentence.
He did not stop voluntarily, he was half way through and especially when he get to “that woman” part, Lu Shao suddenly looked up at him.
It was a piercing look that sent chill down his spine.
