Chapter 184 \nChapter 184 – “He just might have siblings in the future.” (1)\n
On the other hand, seeing how Su Ran was frowning a little, Lu Shao paused a little. He reflexively assumed that Su Ran worried that a family like the Lu’s would bring trouble to her and her son.
“No, not really,” said Lu Shao as he lied through his teeth. He paused for a little, then went on to explain, “Throughout the last few generations, the Lu’s businesses had been operating with a tightening trend without too much grand expansions.
“It was really as simple as the document that you have seen earlier. With the side branches splitting off or being taken care of, the Lu’s are really very simple right now. We don’t have a lot of family members either. As such, I won’t consider us big on both the family or the business ends.” Lu Shao explained in details.
“Oh, that so.”
Even though Lu Shao had given Su Ran the answer that she was looking forward to, for some inexplicable reasons, she didn’t feel reassured at all.
There was too little mentioning of the second male lead’s family background in the original novel.\n
Basically it was only mentioned in one line that there was a secretive and massive family behind him. If there was anything else mentioned, Su Ran had probably skipped through them.
It was the first time that Su Ran started blaming herself for not paying enough attention when she read novels.
“Do you have a big family then?” Su Ran asked again after some thought.
Lu Shao had no idea what was going through Su Ran’s mind and felt happy that she was asking about his situation at home.
“Not really.” Lu Shao’s lips curved upward a little and he said in a serious manner, “Seven in total, including me.”
“Eh? You have brothers?” asked Su Ran. She seemed to recall that Lu BoYang had a few brothers.\nThat being said, considering their names, Lu Shao and Lu BoYang didn’t seem to have too much to do with each other with the exception of the surname.
Having heard that, Lu Shao was taken aback a little.
“No, both my oldest and second brothers had passed away over some conflict of interest,” explained Lu Shao.
The Mr. Lu nowadays was no longer one who would be affected by things that had happened in the past. His tone was very mild when he mentioned it.
That, however, sounded very different to Su Ran.
“Um, I’m sorry. I didn’t know…” Su Ran apologized to Lu Shao and also realized that she should not have pried.
She wanted very much to find out whether he was related to Lu BoYang but the two of them didn’t know each other very well after all. It was rude of her to pry.\n\n“Em…”
“What’s the matter?” asked Su Ran, reflexively put on her tender voice.
After being around her cool and tsundere son all the time, Su Ran suddenly felt that the soft and sweet girl in front of her was very cute.
“Well, it’s these instructions. We can’t quite figure it out and would like to consult Uncle how it is done,” said Liu Na as she pulled the instructions out from behind her, somewhat embarrassed.
Meanwhile, a middle-aged man walked over from behind her, most likely her father.
“Em, I have never put a tent before either. I really couldn’t figure it out so I thought we will come over to consult the expert,” said Liu Na’s father awkwardly as he scratched his head.
