Chapter 72: Investment

Shi Lu nodded. Fortunately, it wasn’t a lot. He could afford to lend a million yuan, so he immediately transferred it to Yuan Shu’s card.

Yuan Shu looked at the transfer message and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t borrow this money for nothing. According to the interest rate of a bank loan, I’ll return the interest to you at the same time.”

Shi Lu waved his hand dismissively. “Why are you being so polite to me? Take this money. We’re family, so it doesn’t matter. If you want to have your little treasury instead of using the Shi family’s money, treat it as me investing in you. Just like how you care about me and help me, I also want to help you.”

When he said the second half of the sentence, Shi Lu’s expression was very serious and his gaze was sincere. Even Yuan Shu was slightly moved.

Some feelings were about unspoken mutual understanding. There was no need for too many explanations. Sometimes, one could feel the trust and love from each other from just one look or action.

Yuan Shu didn’t thank him. Instead, she smiled in relief. “I understand, my good brother.”

When Liu Lan came in the afternoon, she even specifically asked where Shi Yi was.

…..

Yuan Shu invited her to sit at the dining table and said, “She went out early this morning. She must have gone to prepare evidence. I heard from her that you guys talked yesterday. Do you have any specific plans?”

Liu Lan said, “It’s just some procedures for filing a case in court. Because you’re not a lawyer, I won’t talk to you at length. Don’t worry, as long as the evidence is prepared, I’m very confident in winning this lawsuit.”

Yuan Shu said with a smile, “I’m very confident in you too.”

Today, Yuan Shu specifically asked the chef to make a few palace dishes. The dishes were exquisite and tasted unique, so she decided to treat Liu Lan to them.

After Yuan Shu picked up a lotus seed and placed it in her mouth to taste it carefully, she removed the lotus core and stewed it slowly. The lotus seed was wrapped in the aroma of the gravy, which removed the bitterness of the lotus core. The taste was just right.

After swallowing the lotus seed, Yuan Shu said, “I invited you here today because I need your help with something.”

Liu Lan was very forthright. “If there’s anything, just say it. You don’t have to stand on ceremony with me.”

“I want to invest in a project, but this project belongs to the Tan family. It’s not convenient for me to appear directly, so I want to ask you to help me negotiate.”

When Liu Lan heard the word “Tan family”, her expression froze and she already had a plan in mind.

“I understand your concerns, but there’s someone more suitable than me for this matter.”

“Who?”

Yuan Shu was curious. Liu Lan was a person who made friends based on her affinity with others, so the person she trusted and recommended to her must be someone who could make her feel at ease.

However, Yuan Shu didn’t want too many people to know about this, so she was a little worried.

Liu Lan could tell that Yuan Shu was worried, so she smiled and said, “Of course it’s my husband. Although he opened this law firm with me, his main profession is a venture capitalist. If their company talks to the Tan family, the Tan family won’t suspect anything.”

Yuan Shu heaved a sigh of relief over Liu Lan’s thoughtfulness. This method was indeed feasible.

Moreover, Liu Lan’s husband, Xiao Sheng, had also come to the banquet the night before yesterday. Yuan Shu had some impression of him. He was a charming and cunning person.

He was cunning because he was a venture capitalist. It was inevitable that he had more schemes in mind than others. He would automatically calculate different results in his mind and choose the best outcome for himself.

However, he was very easy to get along with.

Yuan Shu could clearly see the sincerity in his eyes. Even though he was calculating, he was indeed extremely sincere.

What left the deepest impression on Yuan Shu was that when Yuan Shu thanked him for Yuan An’s matter, when Liu Lan’s name was mentioned, the love in Xiao Sheng’s eyes couldn’t be concealed at all. There was even some pride in his eyes, which moved Yuan Shu.

This was also why everyone praised the Xiao couple for being loving and happy. They had a relationship that others could only envy..
