As soon as Wang Shubiao left, Luo Kang picked up his black leather bag, nodded his chin outwards, and said, "Let's go, I'll see you off."
Shu Hui was taken aback for a moment, "I came by bike."
"I happen to have some business at your shop. Let's take a walk together. I have something to tell you."
Shu Hui nodded and followed, wearing a straw hat with lace trim. Aunt Zeng was washing dishes in the kitchen, watching the two figures from afar. Suddenly, she turned to Uncle Luo and said:
"You know, I was so focused on introducing someone to Shu Hui, how come I didn't realize that we already have a perfect candidate right here?"
Uncle Luo paused for a moment, then swished the loofah sponge around in the bowl and added some baking soda.
"Who is it? The unmarried man next to us... It can't be Kang Cheng, can it?" Uncle Luo stopped mid-sentence, realizing that neither of them had actually considered this possibility before.
When Luo Kangcheng became a vegetable and was bedridden, they watched Shu Hui help take care of him and even thought that if Shu Hui were their daughter-in-law, Luo Kangcheng wouldn't have to suffer so much.
Later, Luo Kangcheng woke up and went from being in a vegetative state to a normal person, which was already a medical miracle. They had very low requirements for Luo Kangcheng, as long as he was healthy and alive, they would not dare to urge him to get married.
Later, Luo Kangcheng became the bureau chief and was transferred to Beijing to handle several major cases. They were always worried about Luo Kangcheng and concerned about his health.
They only realized it now, yeah, how could they have forgotten about Luo Kangcheng?
Uncle Luo especially liked Shu Hui, and even more so Chu Yu. He always felt that there was no grandfather and granddaughter in the world who were more compatible than him and Chu Yu.
Uncle Luo wished he could adopt Chu Yu as his own granddaughter, but he didn't have that kind of luck. His grandson, Luo Bin, had been brainwashed by Wu Wenlan. Not only had he not come home to see them for years, but he also instigated Wu Wenlan to come to their door demanding money.
A grandson like that is better off without.
Uncle Luo had long since come to terms with it. He was destined to have few descendants and not be blessed with many children, but God gave him two treasures, Shu Hui and Chu Yu, to make up for his lack in this regard.
Upon closer reflection, instead of constantly scheming to find a man for Shu Hui, they should introduce her to Luo Kangcheng. They know each other well, and he also likes the three Chu sisters. Once this girl enters his family, she will be his own granddaughter, and he will never mistreat them.
We're all from the same place, so it's convenient for us to go back to our hometown for the New Year. Our customs and habits aren't that different either, and we don't need to adjust to living together. There's nothing better in the world!
"Oh, old woman, you know what, you really don't know... how could I have forgotten about Kang Cheng!"
“That’s right, I never thought about it that way either. Our Kangcheng is a workaholic, nothing is more important than work. He’s a bit neglectful of his family, but that’s his job. If a man doesn’t go out and make his way in the world and just stays around his wife and kids all day, he won’t amount to anything, right? Now that Shuhui is making money, things are different from before, but our Kangcheng isn’t doing badly either. He’s at least a branch bureau chief, and if he gets promoted again, that’ll be amazing!” Grandma Zeng analyzed.
As people get older, they tend to start to plan things out, especially their children.
Grandma Zeng, once she started to plan, she meticulously planned out the affair between Luo Kangcheng and Shu Hui.
"Shu Hui's ex-husband was no good, and Kang Cheng's ex-wife was no good either. They're both good-looking, but they have bad taste. Well, that's fine, and no one should look down on anyone else!"
Uncle Luo was delighted to hear this.
"That's right. Shu Hui's ex-husband was heartless, and Kang Cheng's ex-wife wasn't a good person either. Kang Cheng's children aren't around, and Shu Hui's daughters are all grown up. Only Chu Chu is in high school. Once Chu Chu gets into university, the two of them can have some time alone together and nurture their relationship."
Uncle Luo was also quite emotional. Luo Kangcheng had dedicated his life to his career, but he lacked something in terms of family life. He had never enjoyed the care of a woman. Even before he divorced Wu Wenlan, he often did his own laundry and cooking.
Uncle Luo also hoped that he could live a more comfortable life.
The elderly couple became more and more satisfied. Aunt Zeng originally wanted to introduce Shu Hui to Wang Shubiao, but now she had her eye on her own son. She wanted to speak ill of Wang Shubiao and was determined to make way for her son.
Luo Kangcheng was unaware that his parents wanted to push him to be with Shu Hui.
Shu Hui pushed the cart, and he carried the black leather bag. The two walked under the shade of the trees, one on each side.
"Comrade Luo, what do you want to tell me?" Shu Hui asked.
It was hot, and she didn't want to walk slowly outside. If it weren't for Luo Kangcheng holding her back, she would have ridden her bike long ago. She was already at the store and was now nestled upstairs doing accounts and enjoying the air conditioning.
But Luo Kangcheng didn't have a car, so she was too embarrassed to ride ahead and could only slowly push her bike while waiting for him.
Shu Hui wiped the sweat from her forehead. Seeing that she was hot, Luo Kangcheng went to the roadside and bought a bottle of soda. Luo Kangcheng drank it all in one gulp and glanced at Shu Hui. Shu Hui could only grit her teeth and drink several more mouthfuls before she could finish the soda.
Luo Kangcheng put the bottle back.
"I wanted to tell you about Cao Gang. Cao Gang got drunk and caused trouble a few days ago and was arrested again. There's a crackdown going on right now. He not only caused trouble, but he also followed a woman home. He's being punished for multiple crimes and shouldn't be out for a long time."
Shu Hui found it strange that Cao Gang had often done shady things before, but had never been arrested.
How come it fell into Luo Kangcheng's hands so quickly?
Luo Kangcheng noticed her questioning look and explained:
“I’ve been keeping an eye on him lately and have followed him around a few times. After all, I always feel unsafe leaving someone like him around you and your three daughters.”
Shu Hui glanced at him, and Luo Kangcheng patted his thigh with his briefcase again, "It's not easy for you to raise your daughter alone. What I did was just a small favor. We're from the same hometown, so I thought I'd help if I could."
Shu Hui was very grateful to him. Over the past six months, she had received a lot of help from Luo Kangcheng. Without Luo Kangcheng, she, as a woman, really didn't know how to deal with Cao Gang.
Even if Cao Gang is impotent, he's still a man and has desires. That's why people say that when palace eunuchs get perverted, they can be more powerful than normal men.
Now that Cao Gang has been arrested and will be sentenced, Shu Hui is completely relieved.
"Thank you so much, Comrade Luo."
"Alright, I was afraid you'd say those things. We're from the same hometown, it's only right that we look out for each other. Okay, your shop is just up ahead, so I'll be going now, we'll talk again later."
In early August, Zuo Ran and Hua Qing had their documents ready, and the two boarded a plane to the port city as promised.
Chu Yu took them to the airport. Zuo Ran was taller and more handsome than when he graduated from high school. There was a reason why he was voted the school's most handsome man by the film academy.
Chu Yu had a teacher test Zuo Ran, who was very agile in dancing. If she were sent to Hong Kong for training for a period of time, she would excel in singing, playing instruments, and dancing. She could also hone her acting skills. With that, she could develop in multiple fields and become famous throughout Asia in no time.
Needless to say, Hua Qing, with her vocal foundation, if she finds a singing style that suits her and trains properly with the right teacher, will definitely be a mainstay in the entertainment industry.
Chu Yu hugged them tightly, deeply moved. Just as Hua Qing thought she was about to say something sentimental, Chu Yu said:
"Keep it up, I'll be counting on you guys to make big money in the future!"
