Chapter 775 Luo Qing
Shu Yu wanted to give money to the second-in-command, but the latter refused.
But Shu Yu couldn't let people work for nothing. Even though it was something that happened on the way, someone still had to make a special trip to Jiangyuan County to get it done.
Although there weren't many local specialties, there were still quite a few; they filled two sacks.
They also have to spend time and effort, so we should at least give them some money for their travel expenses.
The second-in-command had no choice but to accept a token amount, which satisfied both sides.
After finishing their business, the two prepared to leave. Huifeng Escort Agency was quite busy. With the New Year approaching, their business seemed to be even better, especially short-distance escorts.
In the short time they were talking, two or three guests arrived, and the second-in-command had them all entertained by others.
Lu Erbai then said he had something to attend to at home and took his leave with Shuyu.
Just as the group reached the door, a young man came running excitedly towards them, saying, "Uncle Lu, I heard you were here! You..."
He turned to look at Shu Yu, paused for a moment, and a hint of regret flashed across his smiling face.
Shu Yu narrowed her eyes. Seeing her, what was there to regret?
Lu Erbai smiled and said, "Luo Qing is back? We have some things to take care of at home, so we have to leave now."
"Ah? Then, then I'll see you off." As he spoke, the man named Luo Qing glanced at Shu Yu again, his disappointment deepening.
Shu Yu, “…” felt a bit disliked.
She snorted inwardly, and as she listened to Lu Erbai and Luo Qing chatting, the group quickly walked to the door.
Luo Qing wanted to take Lu Erbai home, but the latter refused.
Shu Yu felt something was off. Luo Qing was trying to ingratiate himself, while Lu Erbai seemed to be deliberately distancing himself. He spoke very politely and kept his distance, and they hadn't even introduced each other.
So when they were quite far from Huifeng Escort Agency, she asked in a low voice, "Father, what's the deal with that Luo Qing?"
Lu Erbai rubbed his temples, sighed, and said in a low voice, "He is the son of Chief Luo of Huifeng Escort Agency, and he wants to arrange a marriage between our family and his family."
Another marriage alliance?
Shu Yu had no idea that her business was doing so well.
Wait, the person I'm marrying can't be me, so it must be...
Shu Yu thought of the disappointed look in Luo Qing's eyes when he looked at her, and asked in a low voice, "Does he want to marry my sister?"
“Yes.” Lu Erbai nodded. “He was so happy just now, he must have heard that I brought my daughter with me. He probably thought I brought my eldest daughter.”
"Father doesn't want to? Isn't Luo Qing good enough?"
“It’s not that he’s bad. Luo Qing is a good person, warm-hearted, and skilled in martial arts.” At least he’s much better than that damned Zhang Shu. “It’s just that his roots are here. If you hand over that fever pack, you won’t have to go into exile for long, and then our whole family will go back. If Daya marries Luo Qing, she’ll have to stay here alone.”
In the past, the Zhang family lived so close to theirs that if Daya was bullied, they were powerless to help unless she spoke up.
If she were to marry into Heichang County, thousands of miles away from her hometown, even if she were to die, her hometown might not even receive the news.
Huifeng Escort Agency seems pretty good now, but no one can guarantee it will stay that way in the future. No matter how good Luo Qing seems now, there's no guarantee he won't fall for someone else in the future.
If Da Ya were here, she would really have no one to rely on, so how could they bear to part with her?
Of course, this is only one of the reasons. Another reason is Luo Qing's mother.
