Chapter 777: 775, to please

Following the satisfied departure of the doctors and nurses, Mother Bai headed to the dean’s office.

Bai Xuxu pulled Luo Shu aside to sit down on the sofa, "The day I called the boss to ask for leave, that’s when I found out you’re also the boss of Starlight Entertainment."

"No wonder Wang Fei knew that I was performing surgery on you," Luo Shu said with a smile. It’s truly a small world.

"When I found out that day that you were also the boss of Starlight, I couldn’t believe that such a coincidence could happen. Luo Shu, you must be younger than me, how do you have such capabilities?" Bai Xuxu was genuinely curious about this.

"Perhaps I’ve been through more," Luo Shu said with a laugh. Who else in this world has been as fortunate as her, to experience two different lives?

"Been through more?" Bai Xuxu looked Luo Shu up and down, not understanding what she meant by having experienced more.

Luo Shu smiled and changed the subject, "When do you plan to go back to Jinchen?"

"The day after tomorrow, I’ve been away for so long, there must be a pile of work waiting for me. Boss, would this count as complaining to you?" Bai Xuxu playfully stuck out her tongue at Luo Shu. She liked a busy life; it made her feel fulfilled.

"Indeed! So I’m considering whether or not to replace you," Luo Shu said with a mischievous grin.

"Boss, please be kind, and on account of me just recovering from a serious illness, pretend you didn’t hear what I just said," Bai Xuxu chuckled, winking at Luo Shu.

"I’ll have to give that some thought," Luo Shu, rubbing her chin, gradually smiled. She was finding Bai Xuxu to be a very interesting person.

"No need to think about it, an employee as capable and down-to-earth as me is hard to come by," Bai Xuxu said playfully.

"Oh?" Luo Shu raised her eyebrows with a smile.

Mother Bai walked into the ward and saw Bai Xuxu chatting happily with Luo Shu, she couldn’t help but become curious, "What are you talking about that’s so joyful?"

"Just chatting about nothing, Mom! Can I be discharged now?" Bai Xuxu turned to Mother Bai and asked. These few days in the hospital, smelling the disinfectant, had almost made her nauseous.

"Yes, you can. Luo Shu, come to our house for a meal," Mother Bai said with a smile looking at Luo Shu. Luo Shu had helped her with such a big favor, and she didn’t know how to thank her enough.

"No thanks, I still have some things to take care of back at home," Luo Shu replied. Hanmo had been coming to visit her every day when he had the chance, and there should also be news from the Northern Federation in the next couple of days. The day before yesterday, Xinge had called her, informing her that the other party had agreed to pay a high fee, and they would meet in the next few days.

"Then let us give you a ride back," Mother Bai offered. Her home was just behind Luo Shu’s home, so it would be on the way to drop her off.

"Sure!" Luo Shu responded with a smile.

After packing their things, the three of them left the Guard District Hospital.

Ma Xiufang, who saw Luo Shu and the others approaching from a distance, hurried over with a smile, "Madam! Sister-in-Law Lu!" Ever since she had been turned away at Luo Shu’s home, she had been thinking of ways to improve her relationship with Luo Shu.

"You’re from Squadron Leader Que’s home, aren’t you?" Mother Bai had been in the Guard District for so many years and recognized most of the Guard’s Wives.

"It’s such an honor that you know me, ma’am. I heard that your daughter was injured, how is she now?" Ma Xiufang asked. She heard from those Guards’ Wives that the Commander’s daughter’s nose had been injured by a falling object and she could very likely be disfigured.

"She’s already better now, and in fact, she was discharged from hospital today." Mother Bai said, smiling as she looked towards Bai Xuxu at her side.

"She is your daughter? She’s indeed very handsome!" Ma Xiufang laughed and complimented her. She had felt that Bai Xuxu looked somewhat like Mother Bai, but she hadn’t dared to affirm it was Bai Xuxu, because those Guards’ Wives said that Bai Xuxu was seriously injured. It had been only a week, how could she possibly be discharged?

"Yes, she is!" Mother Bai said with a smile as she nodded her head, "I should be going back now."

Ma Xiufang, thinking of the groceries she had just bought, quickly handed the basket to Mother Bai, "Ma’am, please take this back with you as a small token of my appreciation." It would be even better if she could forge a good relationship with the Commander’s wife. Wasn’t Luo Shu doing the same by trying to please her?

"Thank you for your kindness! I appreciate the gesture, but I absolutely cannot accept the gift. Please take it back," Mother Bai said smilingly as she declined.

Ma Xiufang could only take back the items. Why would no one accept the things she offered?

"Are you heading home? I’m also about to go home; let’s walk together," Ma Xiufang said with a smile, as she followed the trio. She was very curious about how Luo Shu managed to please others.

Although Luo Shu and the other two didn’t like Ma Xiufang much, her home was in the same direction, so naturally, they couldn’t outright refuse her.

"Luo Shu, you should be careful when you’re home alone, and if you need help with anything, give me a call," Mother Bai said to Luo Shu as she dropped her off at her front door. She didn’t know how to express her gratitude to Luo Shu and could only offer her more care in everyday life.

"Okay! I’m going inside now," Luo Shu said with a smile, nodding her head as she walked into the yard.

Ma Xiufang filled with confusion upon witnessing this scene. Logically, it should be Luo Shu trying to please the Commander’s wife, but it seemed like the Commander’s wife was trying to please Luo Shu. Could it be that Lu Hanmo’s background was even more significant than the Commander’s? Her husband only mentioned that Lu Hanmo had deep connections but never told her how deep they were. It seemed she would have to find a way to please Luo Shu.

After returning home, Luo Shu entered her space and first checked on Xiao Qing and the others’ cultivation progress, then sat down by the Spiritual Spring to cultivate. After cultivating with the Immortal Crystals, both her and Hanmo’s strength had already broken through to the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, and now all they needed was for Long Jing and Lih Xiao to recover their strength. Once they had regained their strength, they would first return to the Immortal Realm to arrange everything.

Feeling the communication talisman vibrate, Luo Shu took out the communication talisman and activated it.

"Master! This is Xinge. I’m currently on my way to Helritte Manor," Xinge’s violin-like beautiful voice came through the communication talisman.

Luo Shu nodded, "Proceed as planned."

"I understand, Master! I’ll make sure Helritte knows the consequences of offending you," Xinge’s blood-red lips curled into a sinister smile.

After cutting off the communication, staring at the luxurious manor now within reach, Xinge’s golden eyes flickered with a malevolent light. How dare they harm his master; he’ll see to it that they pay a painful price.

Seeing Xinge’s car approaching slowly, Helritte put on an enthusiastic smile, stepped forward, and personally opened the car door for Xinge, "Welcome, esteemed Mr. Xinge! It’s an honor to meet you!"
