Chapter 182
Chapter 182: Rich Soup Restaurant (Part 2) Lu Shu made a trip to the police station and everything was going smoothly. The other party was patient and kind in contrast to the last time Lu Shu was here. Addressing Lu Shu as ‘bro’, the other party was especially passionate.
Since Lu Shu had an account and a house, the person labeled Lu Xiaoyu’s household register as ‘unregistered due to loss of household migration documents or past the validation date’ and directly recovered it under their house.
Lu Shu was stunned, you can do that? At that time, he had an envelope inside his pocket and inside it was some money which he offered the person. But the other party said there was no need…
Lu Shu saw that the other party had no intention to accept it and kept it away. That was 10 thousand dollars! Lu Shu’s hand was sweaty from holding the envelope…
Leaving the police station, Lu Shu looked at the account book- Lu Xiaoyu, female, siblings relationship.
Lu Shu was elated at the sight of it and felt a sense of satisfaction.
Lu Shu was the kind of person who would feel uncomfortable being in others’ debt and this time, he really had Jiang Shuyi to thank!
But he had a way of returning the favor as he possessed the mountain seal!
He wasn’t sure if there would be any consequences from using this toy since the heavenly network was probably still looking for it. But since he could control magical energy, he could find out the location of Jiang Shuyi’s house and help him increase the concentration of magical energy there.
Lu Shu decided to test it out first, to see the heavenly network’s reaction to him manipulating magical energy as he did not want to sabotage Jiang Shuyi.
Reaching home, Lu Shu didn’t expect Lu Xiaoyu to be sulking after seeing the account book and she even exclaimed angrily, “We aren’t even blood-related!”
Starting the trip at 3 pm and settled by 5 pm, Lu Shu sat on the sofa staring up at the hot sun setting slowly. The sunset rays shined through the windows, giving the interior of the house a warm orange glow.
After resolving the household register, there’s the school issue. The best option would be Luo Cheng international school. Firstly, it was conveniently close. Secondly, Lu Shu could look out for her in case of bullies picking on Lu Xiaoyu… Er, but Lu Xiaoyu could probably settle that herself.
That would take away the interesting part of being an older brother, Lu Shu thought…
Speaking of which… the school issue should be easily resolvable since their house was in the school district. And based on the 9 years compulsory education, Lu Xiaoyu should be allocated to Luo Cheng international. However, the entrance procedure may be troublesome since Lu Xiaoyu had never gone to school before.
But… Li Yixiao was the current principal!
Lu Shu pondered for a long time before looking through his address book. Previously, after their discussion about a joint business in the remains, they had exchanged contact numbers.
Truthfully, Lu Shu had never thought that he would be starting a business with Li Yixiao…
He called Li Yixiao, who seemed to have just woken up, “Hey?”
Lu Shu gleefully said, “Principal, I am Lu Shu. I’d like to treat you to dinner tonight. Firstly, I have a favor to ask from you and secondly, I’d like to celebrate our future partnership!”
“Treat?!” Li Yixiao was suddenly energized at the sound of that, “There a famous hotpot place near the administrative office called ‘Rich Soup’!” Li Yixiao still remembered Lu Shu’s gold chains and watches and knew that this chap must be rich!
Lu Shu rolled his eyes, you’re really straightforward, even choosing the restaurant already…
But he wasn’t a stingy person. Asking someone else for favor should definitely be over a good meal.
In the evening, Lu Shu took the envelope containing 10 thousand dollars and brought Lu Xiaoyu out. The Rich Soup was located in the west of the city. Although it was a short distance, Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu had never eaten there.
This was Luo Cheng’s famous copper hot pot restaurant. Under the old-fashioned copper hot pot was hot burning coal and there’s a small chimney in the middle. When the soup boiled, a piece of sliced lamb meat was soaked inside, becoming cooked within a matter of seconds.
The Rich Soup had 5 floors and its business was excellent. Everyone seemed to be here for their lamb and beef.
Especially in the spring, autumn and winter when the weather would still be chilly, sitting around this copper hot pot eating sliced lamb was a bliss.
Previously, whenever they walked by this place, Lu Xiaoyu would always stare at the restaurant and this was finally fulfilling one of her wishes.
When they arrived, Li Yixiao was already there, this guy is really enthusiastic about this…
Li Yixiao was excited to see Lu Shu. When Lu Shu thought that Li Yixiao was going to greet them, he already spoke, “Quick, let’s order 3 plates of lamb slices. I’ve heard about this restaurant but never had to chance to come…”
Oh, what can I say if you’re being so direct?
The two of them were discussing their partnership in future remains while they waited for their dishes. Lu Xiaoyu knew that they would soon discuss her school admission process and sat there with a long face, caressing little fury with her little hands.
Little fury had long given up on struggling.
The lamb had arrived and was spread across the plate. The meat slices were thick and looked particularly firm.
Lu Xiaoyu was suddenly interested again. Looking at the sesame sauce in front of her and imagining dipping the thick lamb slices into it, she couldn’t wait to put that into her mouth!
In the end, with a wave of his hand, Li Yixiao grabbed his chopsticks and put the lamb into his side of the pot. Once the meat slices were cooked, he devoured them and was fishing for more meat at the bottom of the pot…
Lu Xiaoyu was upset, “Do you want to pull up your trousers and go fishing inside?”
“From Li Yixiao’s distress, +333…”
Li Yixiao was a little embarrassed upon hearing that and knew that his eating image was too unpleasant, “Waitress, 2 more plates of lamb. Haha, you guys eat, I’ll wait for the vegetables…”
Li Yixiao turned around and patted his chest, “Don’t worry little brother, as long as I’m the principal, you can count on me to settle Lu Xiaoyu’s admission. Bring her to school tomorrow!”
Upon hearing that, Lu Xiaoyu threw her chopsticks aside. I thought we agreed on next week, but the moment this fatty opened his mouth, it’s become tomorrow?!
At that moment, Lu Xiaoyu was very very very unhappy with this fatty!
