Zhou Fu had a document on Su Ran as well, but he was hesitating about whether or not he should show it to Lu Shao. Seeing how Lu Shao didn’t seem interested in her, that was the best possible outcome.
“I’ll go take care of it then.” Zhou Fu wanted to take care of matters with Su Ran as soon as possible. A woman like that could be easily taken care of by giving her a large sum of money. That would be more than what she deserved anyway. Providing her with a monthly stipend would be fine too. She was, after all, the birth mother of the little young master.
“Mmm.” Lu Shao nodded.
Noticing that Zhou Fu was about to collect the documents on his desk, he stopped him.
“Leave them there.”
“Okay.”
“Sir, I’ll head out now.”
Lu Shao looked over at Su Han’s picture for a few seconds again after Zhou Fu had taken off.
“It is what it is.”
Having said that, Lu Shao turned on the music from his computer again. At the same time, he transferred over the remaining 600,000 yuan to Su Ran.
On the other end, Su Ran was baffled after receiving the transfer.
Did his hand slip?
[su]: Mr. Lu? How come you transferred more money to me? Was that an error?
[Second Piano Customer – Lu]: No.
[Second Piano Customer – Lu]: The piano music is pretty good. If you have more time, I’d like you to record a few more for me.
[su]: Sure! Not a problem!
Su Ran replied quickly.
[su]: I will get them over to you soon.
Faced with the reality of the house prices in City B, this rarely appreciated master in music had already succumbed to becoming a slave of money.
Only fools declined opportunities to make money!
But, should she accept this payment now or after she had delivered the products?
***
That night, Su Ran was still staring at the blinking red packet for the money transfer. She was hesitating about whether to accept it.
Then her cellphone vibrated.
[Second Piano Customer – Lu]: Accept the payment.
[su]: Okay.
Guess she’ll take the money then. Su Ran felt relieved after she had accepted the payment.
She went browsing in her friend’s circle.
Su Ran didn’t have many in her friend’s circle. Most of them were parents from Su Han’s class from the parent-teacher conference last time.
Many of the parents had been posting pictures of their camping gear lately and perfect for Su Ran to reference.
This time, however, when Su Ran refreshed the app, the first post that she saw was from Lu Shao.
He shared an article by the name of “The contribution of genetic materials in the path of the children’s future development” along with his comment: Makes a lot of sense.
She had no idea what was the point of sharing something like that, but since he was her customer, Su Ran politely “liked” the post.

The Lu’s at Dongshan Mansion.
Not only did Zhou Fu leave early in the morning, even Lu Shao, who was in the half-working-half-vacationing state had been gone since that morning.
Leaving behind Lu BoYang, whose original plan was to butter up to his Third Uncle, browsing WeChat group chat, bored.
[Group chat: The Landlord’s Family]
8:27
[Second Fool of the Lu’s]: What was the meaning of Third Uncle’s post from last night?
[The Handsomest of the Lu’s]: I want to know too!
[The Handsomest of the Lu’s]: But I don’t know!
[Second Fool of the Lu’s]: Me neither. I was shocked when it popped it in my friend’s circle last night! I spent all night mulling over but still nothing. You know anything, Xiao Liu? @Xiao Liu of the Lu’s
[Xiao Liu of the Lu’s]: I’m here. But you’ve got to ask Third Brother. He’s the only one with Third Uncle right now.
[Xiao Liu of the Lu’s]: He’s probably still in bed right now. Let me try. @Lu XiaoYang
[Lu XiaoYang]: Who said I’m still in bed! I’m awake!
[The Handsomest of the Lu’s]: Yo! He is online. Where’s Third Uncle?
[Lu XiaoYang]: I don’t know. He left the house early in the morning.
[Lu XiaoYang]: But don’t ask me anything about the friend’s circle. I am as confused as all of you.
