Spoiled By the Young Master After Reborn In the 80s-Chapter 46 - Forty-five Visit
Chapter 46: Forty-five, Visit
Chapter 46: Forty-five, Visit
When Luo Shu returned home, Chen Zhihe and Ma Zhenhai were already waiting for her.
After giving Ma Zhenhai a nonchalant glance, Luo Shu greeted Chen Zhihe with a smile, “Big Brother Chen, are you here to visit Uncle and Auntie?”
“Yes, and also to bring your household registration book.” As he spoke, Chen Zhihe had already taken out the household registration book.
Luo Shu took the household registration book, flipped through it, and smiled with satisfaction, “Thank you, Big Brother Chen!” Having connections in high places certainly made things easier; ordinarily, handling a household registration could take at least half a month, but her task was completed so quickly, it was clear how much effort Zhihe had put into this.
Chen Zhihe waved his hand with a smile, “Actually, the household registration could be handled so quickly thanks to Director Ma’s help. If you want to thank someone, thank Director Ma.” With the leader present, he naturally couldn’t take all the credit for himself. Moreover, he was very aware of the purpose of Director Ma’s visit this time.
Luo Shu turned to look at Ma Zhenhai and nodded faintly toward him, “Thank you, Director Ma.” Her tone was distinctly distant.
Even though the thugs were sent by Ma Zhenhai’s wife, they were family, after all. She had kindly offered to treat their son, yet they hadn’t even thanked her and instead had caused her trouble, which would upset anyone.
Ma Zhenhai shook his head in embarrassment, coughing lightly and said, “Luo Shu, I already know about yesterday’s incident, and I’m genuinely sorry! I’ve reprimanded her, and it won’t happen again.”
Luo Shu offered a faint smile, “You two talk, I’ll be heading inside.” She was useful to them now, but if she weren’t, not only would Ma Zhenhai’s wife dare to send a few people to teach her a lesson, but even if they went after her life, Ma would likely turn a blind eye.
“Wait a moment!” shouted Ma Zhenhai anxiously as he saw Luo Shu about to leave.
Luo Shu paused, looking at Ma Zhenhai with a half-smile, “Is there anything else, Director Ma?”
Ma Zhenhai forced an awkward smile, “Luo Shu, do you have any free time recently? I’d like to invite you for a meal.”

Luo Shu raised her eyebrows, “Sorry, I don’t have time!” She found every additional second spent with people she disliked a waste of time.
“Luo Shu, Director Ma means well. Can you spare a little time? A meal won’t take long,” interjected Chen Zhihe, trying to mediate. He dared not offend either of them.
“I’m truly sorry, but I need to help my godmother with her leg treatment soon and can’t spare the time,” Luo Shu said, smiling apologetically. She needed to show Chen Zhihe respect; aside from the many times he had helped her, she would not want to affront him on account of Uncle Chen and his wife.
“Your godmother?” both Chen Zhihe and Ma Zhenhai uttered in surprise.
“I’ve taken Governor Xu and his wife as my godparents,” said Luo Shu. Although she disliked showing off, she needed to use the Xu family’s influence to ward off unnecessary troubles.
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhihe was inwardly ecstatic. If he could forge a good relationship with Luo Shu, wouldn’t that mean he could connect with Governor Xu? He suddenly saw his future shining brightly.
Ma Zhenhai frowned. He had not expected Luo Shu to establish such a relationship with Xu Feng and his wife. Now, even his father-in-law wouldn’t dare to treat Luo Shu rashly. While Xu Feng’s influence couldn’t compare to the Lin Family, in Cloud City, Xu Feng’s word was law. Even the powerful Lin Family had to give Xu Feng some respect.
Ma Zhenhai did not stay long before departing with Chen Zhihe. He had seen enough in Luo Shu’s demeanor to realize she wouldn’t agree to treat his son again.
In a hurry, Ma Zhenhai went to the Lin Family and informed Lin Qiansheng about the relationship between Luo Shu and the Xu family.
“It seems that Luo Shu indeed has some abilities,” mused Lin Qiansheng as he tapped on the table, looking rather solemn. He could now be certain of Luo Shu’s medical skills; otherwise, Xu Feng wouldn’t have accepted her as a goddaughter.
“Dad, Lusho is now refusing to treat Yifan, what should we do?” Ma Zhenhai’s primary concern was still his son. He only regretted not showing determination when his wife intervened; otherwise, Yifan might have already woken up. But what use was regret?
After weighing the matter for a moment, Lin Qiansheng suggested, “We seem to have no choice but to seek Xu Feng’s help.” Given Xu Feng’s current relationship with Luo Shu, as long as Xu Feng was willing to speak on behalf, Luo Shu would undoubtedly agree.
Enlightened by his father’s words, Ma Zhenhai’s eyes brightened. Indeed! Why hadn’t he thought of that?
After leaving the Lin Family, Ma Zhenhai bought some tobacco, alcohol, and gifts at a store, planning to visit Xu Feng’s house later.
When Ma Zhenhai returned, Lin Yu smiled and approached him, handing a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet to Ma Zhenhai. Noticing the gifts in Ma Zhenhai’s hands, her smile deepened, “Who gave these to you?”
“I bought them!” declared Ma Zhenhai indifferently. He still harbored some resentment towards Lin Yu; if not for her, why would he need to go through all this trouble?
“What? You bought them? What did you buy them for?” roared Lin Yu upon hearing this. They didn’t lack these things at home, so buying them seemed like a waste of money. It seemed she needed to cut down on his allowance.
“They’re for someone else,” Ma Zhenhai retorted, frowning. He found his wife was becoming more and more unreasonable.
Snatching the gifts with one hand, Lin Yu demanded, “Tell me! Who are you giving these to?” With their status in Cloud City, others were expected to give them gifts, not the other way around.
“What’s it to you?” Ma Zhenhai snorted coldly and walked into the house.
Lin Yu approached Ma Zhenhai and slammed the gifts onto the table, “Ma Zhenhai, if you don’t clarify things today, I won’t let this go!”
Ma Zhenhai laughed mockingly, “Are we talking about divorce again?”
His words hit Lin Yu like a bucket of cold water, instantly sobering her. That’s right, they had just reconciled; she couldn’t afford to strain their relationship again.
Glancing at the gifts on the table, Lin Yu bit her lip hard, forcing a smile, “Zhenhai, my apologies for earlier, don’t be angry. I won’t ask anymore, let’s go have dinner.” If necessary, she would secretly follow him when he went out; she was determined to find out who he was gifting.
