Chapter 330: This was, after all, her first house in this world. (1)
Su Ran was deep in thought with her head lowered, not making a sound.
When Lu Shao’s anxiety reached the max, Su Ran finally looked up and looked at him.
“So, Lu BoYang is your nephew?” asked Su Ran as she gave him a peculiar look.
“Yes.” Lu BoYang nodded, then carried on explaining, “He is my big brother’s second child, the third child in his generation.”
“And the two of you are only 4 years apart?”
That was what Su Ran found most incredulous.
Per the birthdate as listed on the household register, Lu BoYang was 34 years old this year. And Lu Shao, his uncle, was only 4 years older than him!
Came to think about it, Su Ran had considered the possibility that Lu Shao and the second male lead were related in the past. Nevertheless, the two didn’t seem very far apart in age and their names didn’t sound related with the exception of the surname, she had since given up on that thought.
Listening to Su Ran’s question, Lu Shao was a little surprised. He hadn’t expected that to be Su Ran’s question.
“Yes, I am the youngest one in my generation, the son that my father got in his golden years. My two older brothers were much older than me.”
Pausing, he added, “My Big Brother was already married by the time I was born. Lu BoXiao is only 2 years younger than me. The fourth child is also my Big Brother’s son. The rest are my second brother’s sons.”
“In the past, the majority of the Lu family lived in Country Between Lu BoYang only stayed behind in City B because of his university.
“I didn’t know about these in the past because I was distracted by all the matters with the side branches. I apologize for that,” said Lu Shao as he looked at Su Ran deeply.
“Currently, with the exception of Lu Boyan, ranked number six, who is still studying in the university, the others are already independent and had moved out. That included Lu BoYang. As such,” Lu Shao paused before he carried on, “I can’t take care of that too if you don’t want him around.”
Su Ran had no idea why Mr. Lu looked nervous. She suddenly found it comical.
Perhaps she should take a recording of this so she could show it to her son. So he could see how him and his father could be quite similar ta times.
Su Ran distracted herself.
Lu Shao had, however, interpreted her look as her remaining silent.
Lu Shao wasn’t sure how to read Su Ran’s look right now.
“Is there anything else that you want to ask me about?” Other than the age.
Reading the nervousness in Lu Shao’s eyes, Su Ran knew what he was worried about.
Nevertheless, Su Ran wasn’t the original owner. She had the memory but, in the end of the day, she wasn’t the one who experienced the events.
Back then, at most Lu BoYang was just used by the female lead as one of her “knights”.
Besides, whatever happened back then, depending on whose side they were on, some walked away happier than others. It was difficult to say who was right and who was wrong.
When she had became “Su Ran”, she could get herself to like Lu BoYang.
That being said, Lu BoYang would always be Lu Shao’s nephew, much like Lu Shao would always be Su Han’s father.
“Does he know about Su Han?” Su Ran asked all of a sudden when she remembered about her son.
“Yes, he does.” Lu Shao ndded.
“Then, would he...... to Su Han…”
Even though Lu BoYang had nothing to do with Su Han’s ending in the original novel, Su Ran was sure that Lu BoYang would not have any negative impact on matters.
“He wouldn’t dare,” said Lu Shao very definitely before Su Ran could finish what she was saying.
She must say that Lu Shao’s deep and definite answer wiped away her last shred of worry.
Except that……
“Puuf.”
Su Ran finally busted out laughing when she looked at Lu Shao’s nervous and serious look.
“Xiao Ran?”
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
“One last question,” said Su Ran.
“Go ahead.”
“Mr. Lu, can we––“ Looking at Lu Shao, Su Ran dragged out her tone and asked relaxingly, “Consider you a marriage swindler?”
Su Ran blinked when she saw the change in expression on Lu Shao. She carried on to say, “Did you purposefully wait until after we had gotten our marriage certificate before you told me this?”
Having said that, Su Ran could see the look on Lu Shao stiffened noticeably.
