Chapter 747: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 747: Something to Show You
Shu Yu was surprised by the news that her parents had also come. "My parents are here too?"
"Yes," Meng Yunzheng smiled. "Not only them, but I also brought something else for you. You'll find out when we go back later."
Intrigued by his mysterious demeanor, Shu Yu turned to look at Wang Changdong, who was talking to Zhao Xi about the room arrangements. They were discussing the issue of renting rooms.
Zhao Xi was thinking that since Shu Yu was working here, maybe he could negotiate a lower price for the rooms. But before he could speak up, Wang Changdong waved his hand and said, "Why talk about money? It's not a big deal for them to stay here for one night. Miss Lu is a very important person in our manor. How can we charge her for staying here? As a steward working on the manor, your meals and accommodation should be provided. You already save the estate expenses by living at home, so when your parents come, we absolutely cannot charge them."
Shu Yu was dumbfounded. She hadn't expected that the money she saved could be used to compensate for her parents' accommodation.
Well, if Wang Changdong went into business, he would definitely suffer losses. But Shu Yu accepted his kindness, saying, "Thank you, Brother Wang."
"You're welcome. Since your parents are here, go home quickly and have a good reunion while you can."
Shu Yu bid farewell and eagerly followed Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi out.
As they arrived at the front door, they could hear lively voices coming from inside.
Shu Yu couldn't help but smile and walked in confidently. "Father, mother."
"Ah Yu, you're back?" Ruan Shi immediately stood up, took a few steps forward to examine her, and seeing that she hadn't lost weight and looked well, she felt relieved and pulled her to sit down.
Curious, Shu Yu asked, "How come you're here?" She had planned to go to the county town tomorrow.
Ruan Shi explained, "The weather suddenly turned cold. Most of the food we sell is for takeaway, and once it gets cold, it doesn't taste as good. So the business has been slow recently. It just so happened that your father finished his work, and we thought of coming here to see you."
"Business hasn't been good?"
Ruan Shi waved her hand. "It's just these past few days. It's not just us; the customers at the stalls have decreased too. People don't like to go out in this cold weather."
Unless they had to go out for work, but those people preferred to eat something with soup to keep warm.
Shu Yu pondered for a moment. Yes, that was indeed a problem.
Just as she was thinking, Lu Erbai said to her, "By the way, Ah Yu, the issue with the Huifeng Escort Agency has been resolved. The leader of the escort specifically came to our house to find me and thanked me, saying it was all thanks to you. What's the story behind this?"
It seemed that after the guards of prefect cheng solved the case, they also reported it to the Huifeng Escort Agency.
Shu Yu briefly explained the cause and effect to Lu Erbai. "It's a coincidence. Who could have thought that among the suspicious individuals caught by the constables, there would be someone related to the Huifeng Escort Agency case?"
Lu Erbai burst into laughter, but his excitement caused him to cough after a couple of laughs.
Shu Yu quickly went to pour water, and Meng Yunzheng was even faster, handing a glass of water to Lu Erbai.
Once he had calmed down, Shu Yu patted his back and then turned to Meng Yunzheng. "You mentioned earlier that you had something to show me after we got home. What is it?"
Meng Yunzheng smiled mysteriously and replied, "It's a surprise. You'll find out soon enough."
