At the mention of Su Han and recalling that face that looked a lot like him and very much made one want to beat him up, Housemaster Lu frowned on his end, seemingly someone irritated.
“No, not a hassle at all.” Lu Shao paused a little, then added, “You can have him stayed with me for the few days that you will be away.”
“Okay. Thank you so much in advance then.” Shu Yan thought about it for a little and said, “In that case. I can pick him up earlier on Friday and drop him off at your place. What is a good time for you?”
“No need. I can pick him up from school. You go take care of your matters.”
“Alright. Thank you…”
“That’s not necessary.”
“Hah?”
“No need to say ‘thanks’ with me.”
Su Ran: Em. That seems very rude.
“Then…” Su Ran wanted to thank him again. It didn’t seem like the two of them had much to talk about beyond that.
“Hmm?”
“Ahem. Okay. It’s set then,” said Su Ran after she had cleared her throat.
“Alright.” It almost sounded like Lu Shao was smiling when he said that.
Just when Su Ran was about to say bye to him and hang up the phone, Lu Shao spoke again.
“Xiao Ran.”
“What’s up?”
“I have been busy with contracts and launching of a few projects in the past few days,” said Lu Shao.
If Zhou Fu was anywhere near, he would for sure had supplemented that with: And most of them targeted against the Song’s Corporation.
Su Ran was baffled.
What did that have to do with her?
Even so, she still replied politely, “Hahaha. Is that so?”
As Su Ran chuckled awkwardly, Lu Shao asked again, “Do you have some free times in the next couple of days?”
“Hmm? Somethings the matter?” asked Su Ran, somewhat perturbed.
“Will you be very busy?”
“Uh.” Sort of.
Even though she was technically a jobless bum, Su Ran had been quite busy as of late.
She needed to keep tab on the progress of the remodeling.
And check on her son’s homework every day.
Even though the truth was Su Han finishing his own homework; working on his vocabularies; then proceeding onto more exercises. All Su Ran did was sat next to him while playing on her cellphone quietly.
In addition to all those, she also needed to practice on her electronic piano of a very popular brand daily.
To the very well experienced Master Su, a semi-final was not much to be nervous about. That being said, performance on a piano wasn’t all about experience, she needed to practice on the agility of her fingers and keep herself in good shape as well.
When she was alone, she enjoyed practicing on her piano at night. Now that she worried about distracting Su Han, she had switched to practicing in the day time, when Su Han was out of the house.
“Okay. I won’t keep you any longer then,” said Lu Shao.
“What you had mentioned earlier…”
“No rush.”

Inside the study at the Lu’s residence, Lu Shao pondered as he continued to look at the cellphone that had already been disconnected.
Zhou Fu walked inside of the study after a little while.
“You asked for me, Sir?”
“There is a piano competition at City N on the 28th of this month?” asked Lu Shao.
“Yes.” Zhou Fu thought about it for a little and said, “It is a semi-final, to be precise…”
As for how Zhou Fu, an assistant who helped with taking care of the finances of the Lu family, knew so much about this. That was because the Song’s Corporation was one of their biggest sponsors.
In fact, Third Young Master’s Shengding Entertainment seemed to be one of the sponsors as well.
“Mmm.” Lu Shao merely lifted his brows when Zhou Fu brought up Song’s and Shengding and didn’t seem to be bother by it much.
“Go and get me a schedule of events and their venues,” said Lu Shao.
That request surprised Zhou Fu. As he was wondering why the request differed from what he was expecting, he saw the tenderness in Lu Shao’s eyes and also recalled the very fancy piano room that was currently being built in their house. An idea flashed past his mind.
“Sir, you mean…”
Zhou Fu was only half way through what he was saying when Lu Shao gave him a look.
