“I’ll give you a ride to your destination.”
“Hah?” What is going on?
“You go do your thing. I’ll wait for you.”
Su Ran’s eyes widened even more after Lu Shao’s explanation.
“That, um, that will not be necessary,” Su Ran shook her hands in panic. “It’s not something very important. I am going to go meet up with…”
And Su Ran could not finish her sentence.
She noticed that the way Lu Shao was looking at her was, um, how should she put it? Too profound and too serious. She felt that it was just a matter of some piano music.
“Um, Mr. Lu, pray tell if there’s something important that you wish to talk about?” Su Ran frowned slightly and also started looking more solemn as she looked up to Lu Shao and asked.
“Yes,” replied Lu Shao nonchalantly. He then paused and said, “Very important.”
“To talk to me about?”
“Yes, to talk to you about,” said Lu Shao as he looked over at Su Ran but he quickly looked away when their eyes met.
“Um, alright,” said Su Ran as she lowered her head and sighed and gave up on her idea of taking off.
Even though Su Ran was very baffled and had no idea what was the purpose of this Mr. Lu’s visit, after their few times of contacts with each other, she knew that he wasn’t one to joke around.
Not to mention that his look was… way too solemn.
So solemn that Su Ran couldn’t possibly turn him down.
Giving it some more thought, Su Ran pulled out her cellphone and sent Xu Xiao a text, asking him to please postpone the meetings with the agents to this afternoon.
Customer – Xu Xiao: No problem. You go take care of your important matters, Instructor Su. I have already communicated this with the agents and rescheduled for tomorrow.
Su Ran felt relieved after she had received Xu Xiao’s response.
“Alright, Mr. Lu, what is it that you wish to talk about?”
“Su…”
Lu Shao was just about to start when they were interrupted by Da Bao’s grandmother from behind them.
“Eh, Xiao Su, you are still here?”
Da Bao’s grandmother along with Aunty Zhang from the same building walked out of the building, each dragging a little shopping kart behind them.
Seeing that Su Ran was still standing there, they just casually greeted her. They were stunned when they saw Lu Shao standing in front of Su Ran.
“Ah, you have a friend with you…” Da Bao’s grandmother had a peculiar look on her and then, as though she had recalled something, gave an awkward smiled, foregone chatting with Su Ran, and dragged Aunty Zhang with her as she walked away.
Even when they were a distance from them, the two of them still turned around and looked at them frequently.
“Aiya, Grandma Dabao, so who’s that man? He looked like he knows Su Ran.” Aunty Zhang placed her hand on Dabao’s grandmother and asked with her voice lowered reflexively.
“No, wait.” Aunty Zhang thought about it some more and felt that something was off. “I don’t think they are just acquaintances. It seemed that man came looking for Su Ran specifically!
“How else would he be waiting downstairs so early in the day?”
As Aunty Zhang verbalized her analysis, she also nodded as though she was confirming her own speculations.
That man did not look familiar at all. More importantly, judging by the way he dressed, he didn’t look like he was from this neighborhood at all.
“Yo, he drove here right? That car that was parked behind him! He looks rich.” As much as Aunty Zhang didn’t know much about cars, she could still tell that it was an expensive car.
Someone from her village became wealthy from doing business and bought a Bentley. Each and every single one of them cost over a million yuan!
Looking at the car that the man had drove over in, it looked every bit as fancy as the man from her village.
