Chapter 410: Are You Surprised?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Lu Sheng reached Li Zheng’s house, Liang Ping happened to walk out of the courtyard after changing his cart.
“Brother Liang.”
Liang Ping was surprised to see her.
“Lu Sheng, are you done there?”
Lu Sheng nodded. “Yes, she’s alright.”
“Are you going back to town? Why don’t I tell Uncle Li Zheng so that he can borrow my ox cart to send you back to town?”
He had bumped into the carriage that sent Lu Sheng and the rest on their way just now. He knew that Lu Sheng probably did not have a carriage back.
“No need.”
Lu Sheng smiled faintly. “Brother Liang, you can go back first. There are still guests at home. I have some things to tell Uncle Li Zheng.”
Liang Ping nodded and asked, “When will you return to town? Tell me when you want to go back and I’ll send you back.”
The sun was already setting in the west. When Lu Sheng returned to town, it would probably be dark already.
“Brother Liang, don’t worry. I’ve already told my uncle to come and fetch me in the evening.”
Liang Ping nodded. “Okay, I’ll go back first.”
Lu Sheng smiled and nodded.
“Oh!”
Liang Ping had just left when Mdm Fang happened to walk out of her room. When she saw Lu Sheng, she was elated.
“Lu Sheng, when did you come back?”
“I just came back not too long ago.”
Lu Sheng entered the courtyard and asked with a smile, “Aunt, is Uncle here?”
“Yes, yes!” Mdm Fang smiled and nodded. “She’s talking to your Brother Tao in the room.”
“Brother Tao?”
Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “He hasn’t returned to Yu Shan Town yet?”
Yu Shan Town was the town where Tao Jia’s father-in-law lived. As he was doing business, Tao Jia was there most of the time.
“No, your sister-in-law brought your nephew home first. He wants to return only in early spring.”
“Mother, who’s here?”
When Tao Jia heard Mdm Fang speaking to someone, he asked loudly.
“It’s Lu Sheng. She said she’s here to find your father.”
Mdm Fang hurried Lu Sheng into the house.
“Lu Sheng?”
When Li Zheng heard that it was Lu Sheng, he hurriedly stood up and stunned Tao Jia, who was sitting opposite him.
He did not understand why he was so excited when Lu Sheng was here.
“Uncle, Brother Tao.”
“Oh!”
Li Zheng welcomed her with a smile. He looked at her and said happily, “You haven’t come to visit me since the new year.”
Lu Sheng looked helpless. “The restaurant is a bit busy. My brother and uncle are studying. I have to help.”
Mdm Fang chuckled and said, “Ignore your uncle. He knows.”
“You are… Lu Sheng?”
Tao Jia was in disbelief.
He had not seen Lu Sheng for a long time. Ever since he returned for the new year, he had seen Lu Ran but not Lu Sheng.
The last time he came back, they had asked the Lu family to come over for a meal. However, he heard from Lu Ran that there were guests at home and Lu Sheng was hosting them, so she did not come over.
He thought that Lu Ran was just finding an excuse for Lu Sheng.
After all, in his impression, Lu Sheng was still the timid girl who lowered her head the moment she saw someone.
However, the girl in front of him was bright and dazzling. Her speech was natural and unrestrained, without any reservations or helplessness.
Tao Jia would believe it if someone said that she was someone else.
“Are you surprised?”
Mdm Fang smiled and said, “Our Lu Sheng is amazing now. Not long after she opened that restaurant, her income is many times higher than those who have been running around for years.”
“Really?”
Tao Jia thought nothing of it. He only felt that his mother was exaggerating.
After running around for so many years, even if he did not have a million taels in his pocket, he had a few hundred thousand taels.
He did not believe that a small restaurant that had just opened for business could earn more than him.
