Chapter 250 Lu Shuang's Visit 2
"You just came, why did you bring so many gifts!" Jiang Yu looked at the servants carrying box after box of gifts brought by Lu Shuang who had just arrived, and was a little at a loss.
"These aren't all gifts I prepared myself. Some were sent by my mother!" Lu Shuang and Lan Yu traveled light, carrying only their personal luggage, so they were naturally faster, and these considerable gifts had to be left behind.
"Did the Lu family head personally send someone to deliver it?" Jiang Yu was stunned.
That's right, Lu Shuang took her mother's surname. The head of the Lu family, Madam Lu, was a rare and legendary woman.
She had two husbands whom she loved and respected most: one died for his country, and the other passed away young from illness. So Mrs. Lu took over her deceased husband's family business and developed it into the largest carriage manufacturer in the Ocean Empire today.
Madam Lu came from a noble family of considerable birth, and with such substantial wealth, her decisiveness and haughtiness were also widely known.
“Of course.” Lu Shuang blinked and said in a low voice, “At first, when I said I was going to visit a friend, my mother wrote a letter to scold me. Later, when she heard that I was going to Hollandpool to visit you, she actually wrote to say that she would send someone to deliver the gifts together.”
“My mother admires you, and she also feels a little sorry about what happened back then.” Lu Shuang was somewhat embarrassed. Although her mother didn’t mean any harm, she did stop her from asking about her friend back then.
“Don’t take it to heart.” Jiang Yu smiled. “Madam Lu is an elder I have always respected, and a very outstanding woman. Her actions were all based on the honor of the family and were entirely for your own good. This is the best a mother can do.”
Lu Shuang was so excited that she didn't know what to do.
"If I had known your plans earlier, I would have brought car parts instead of gifts! Hahahahahaha."
“It’s never too late next time!” Jiang Yu was amused by Lu Shuang. She pulled her into the house, “Go change quickly, I’ll take you out for a walk in a bit.”
————?————
"Wow, this is truly amazing." Lu Shuang stared wide-eyed at the cage.
“We rarely see magical pets for sale, and Shuangshuang’s mother doesn’t allow her to keep magical pets,” Lan Yu explained from the side.
“Especially so many magical pets, it’s simply unheard of and unseen before,” Lu Shuang added. She was teasing a magical pet that looked like a little monkey through its cage with her finger.
The little monkey stretched out its long tail, and the end gradually split open, revealing several long, curly tentacles. Then, as if by magic, it bloomed into a beautiful flower.
“Oh, I think it likes me.” Lu Shuang’s eyes were practically sparkling. “I really don’t understand why my mother wouldn’t allow me to keep a magical pet. It’s almost become fashionable in high society now.”
Jiang Yu shook his head, about to speak, when he was interrupted by Moya next to him. Moya pointed at the cunning creature that was using its tail as bait: "I bet it doesn't like you, it wants to poison you."
Lu Shuang looked over in disbelief and discovered that the little monkey, who had seemed shy and kept its body at a distance, was staring at her with a cold and unfriendly gaze.
Moa released a bit of his aura, and the entire pet shop instantly fell silent. Peter, standing to the side, chuckled and explained, "I think Mr. Moa is right."
"Some magical creatures are not friendly to humans."
“But they depend on humans for sustenance,” Jiang Yu said, which is why she has never liked magical pets and has no interest in raising them.
"In fact, it's not humans who choose their magical companions, but rather the magical companions who choose humans." Peter was speechless; this statement was merely a weak explanation.
"Hmm." Seeing her friend's lack of interest, Lu Shuang felt her own interest waning as well. She straightened up. "I always thought this characteristic was a kind of fate."
“But if one party is not acting out of goodwill, then it’s better to let go of this kind of relationship.” Jiang Yu glanced at the timid but still ugly magical pet in the cage and said to Lu Shuang, “Any emotional connection is a serious matter, and of course, any breakup of an emotional connection will cause varying degrees of harm.”
"I believe Mrs. Lu simply doesn't want you to face such a thing one day. After all, it's entirely avoidable."
Lu Shuang nodded thoughtfully: "My mother will definitely feel like we've known each other for a long time. Xiao Yu, please be sure to visit my mother sometime."
"Believe me, it will happen."
"Ah, how about I select some more docile and lovable magical pets for Lord Lu Shuang to take a look?" Peter said solicitously from the side, afraid of displeasing the two lords.
"Oh, I think I'd better not! It's something that neither Mother nor Xiaoyu likes, so I think I'd better not touch it~" Lu Shuang smiled.
"The market is starting to close now, but I still find it very lively. It's hard to imagine how grand it was when it first started." Lu Shuang walked along the road, buying a little bit of everything she saw.
"I promise you, once my commercial street is built, it will be a hundred times more prosperous, and I will definitely invite you to cut the ribbon for me!" Jiang Yu was overjoyed. The sense of satisfaction that she felt her work was meaningful and that she would soon achieve results made her feel refreshed.
"Hehe, I dare say, if it weren't for the fact that all the husbands around you are so outstanding, you would almost be the next mother," Lu Shuang said casually.
"Shuangshuang!" Lan Yu interjected to stop them.
Lu Shuangcai realized that there seemed to be something wrong with his words: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you."
"It's okay, I know you didn't mean any harm," Jiang Yu comforted her. "But Shuangshuang, you should eat less. I've prepared a special dinner later, so save some room for dinner."
