The daughter of a general is so cool in the novel about a wealthy family

When Yuan Shu returned home, he saw Shi Bin and Shi Lu sitting on either side of the sofa. They ignored each other, like two stone lions guarding the gate of a temple.

"What are you doing? Pretending to be a lion to greet me?" Yuan Shu found it a little funny. After changing her shoes, she sat on the recliner next to her.

Shi Bin looked at Yuan Shu with a complicated expression, turned around and went upstairs without saying a word.

Seeing this, Shi Lu also wanted to leave, but was stopped by Yuan Shu, "Shi Lu, don't leave yet, I have something to ask you."

Shi Lu stopped, turned to look at Yuan Shu, and said calmly: "I don't think I have the information you need."

"No, you know." Yuan Shu said confidently, "I think you know who the Shi family has good relationships with and who they don't have good relationships with in the upper class society, and which families can compare with us, right?"

Two hours later, Shi Lu sat on the sofa with a listless look in his eyes.

Yuan Shu wanted to know the details, so he asked him to talk about the family's origins for two hours. Now he felt like a fish stranded on the river bank, about to die.

He looked at Yuan Shu, who was sorting a pile of papers filled with words, and said tiredly, "What do you need these materials for? Are you planning to curry favor with these families?"

"Of course not, it's useful information for me." Yuan Shu was in a good mood after getting what he wanted. He didn't care about Shi Lu's tone. He sorted out the documents and went upstairs.

"You've worked hard today. Go to bed early. Good night."

Shi Lu looked at her back, smiled faintly, and picked up a piece of paper under the table. The words on it were written in standard cursive script and the handwriting was very beautiful.

"It's not hard. My life is hard."

The next day, almost everyone in the upper class circle received exquisite invitations from the Shi family, inviting them to a banquet at the Shi family's ancestral home on the 20th.

Being able to attend the banquet at the Shi family's ancestral home is no small matter. It means that the Shi family recognizes their identities and wants to make friends with them.

For a time, people in the upper class circles were discussing this matter, wanting to show off their invitations. Finally, after people from the major families exchanged information with each other, they found out that everyone in the circle had received invitations, except the Jiang family and the Xu family.

The Jiang family, the Xu family, and the Tan family have always been at odds with the Shi family and are competitors.

However, everyone knows that Tan Jing came to the Shi family a few days ago, and before he left, the Shi family gave him a box of fruits. The Shi family also invited people from the Tan family to this banquet. Is the Shi family trying to build a relationship with the Tan family?

Their discussions did not reach Yuan Shu's ears. She still did what she was supposed to do every day. However, in recent days, other ladies invited her out shopping more often, and they also invited several ladies who were beneficial to the development of the Shi family's business.

This is the same as before, the women from different families also need to contact each other to get some information.

The meeting was scheduled for the afternoon. After lunch, Yuan Shu asked the servants to pack some fruits and snacks and send them to Shi Bin and Shi Lu.

"Deliver meals to the two young masters?" The servant who received the order was a little puzzled.

Although the relationship between the family has improved a lot in recent days, it doesn't seem to have reached this point yet. Besides, the two young masters are adults, so there is no need to be so polite.

"Well, send it to them." Yuan Shu looked calm as he went upstairs to choose clothes to wear before going out.

The servant did not dare to raise any objection to Yuan Shu's order. He quickly packed up the snacks and fruits that Yuan Shu had ordered and asked the driver to take him to deliver them to the two young masters.

After getting in the car, the servant suddenly realized that the servants in the house had gradually become very respectful towards Yuan Shu's decision.

She asked the driver, "Have you noticed that your wife has changed a lot recently?"

After she said that, the driver suddenly realized. Yuan Shu didn't care about her family at all before and did whatever she wanted every day. But now she suddenly seemed like a different person. Was it because her husband disappeared that she suddenly matured?

The driver thought for a moment and said, "It seems so. Madam seems to have become a different person. She looks more and more like the ladies in TV dramas."

"Madam, we're at the mall." The driver went to deliver food to Shi Bin, so Zhou Yan took over the driver's job and took Yuan Shu to the mall.

While waiting for Mrs. Xiao to arrive, Zhou Yan asked, "Madam, do you need me to follow you? I can help you with your bag."

"No need, just walk by yourself or wait for me in the car. I'm shopping with Mrs. Xiao, why are you following me?" Yuan Shu rejected Zhou Yan's kindness, seeing that the Xiao family's car was parked not far away.

Shi Bin, who had just finished class, took the lunch box handed over by the servant. The classmate next to him couldn't help but tease him, "Master Shi, did you receive a gift? Which lady gave you this? Open it quickly and show us what delicious food is inside!"

Shi Bin opened the lunch box. The top layer was two small and exquisite lotus seed paste cakes, and the bottom layer was some seasonal fruits with water droplets on them. They looked very delicious.

Shi Bin picked up a blueberry and put it in his mouth.

"It's not someone else's, it's... given to me by my family." Shi Bin still couldn't say the word sister-in-law, so he had to be vague.

Looking at the exquisite and beautiful lotus seed paste cake, a strange warmth suddenly surged in his heart, just like a seed that had been sealed for a long time, suddenly taking root and sprouting, blooming into a lotus bud.

This small lunch box is the warmth he has always longed for since he was a child.

"Madam, you promised to go shopping with me. Isn't it just for shopping?"

Mrs. Xiao and Yuan Shu sat in the cafe, waiting for their drinks to be served.

Mrs. Xiao's name was Liu Fangyu, and she was born into a scholarly family.

After Mr. Xiao took over the family business, he opened a law firm. The couple were outliers in the upper-class circle. They had been childhood sweethearts and were very much in love.

Moreover, they were not like other noble families who tried desperately to please the Shi family during its heyday, but after Shi Xiao disappeared, they wanted to sever all ties. Watching the Shi family decline, they two had asked the original owner if he needed help, but were scolded by the ungrateful original owner.

When recalling these things yesterday, Yuan Shu also asked someone to prepare a gift for the Xiao couple as an apology to the host.

"I was wrong about what happened before. I was not in a clear mind at that time and said some harsh words to you, madam. I want to apologize to you for this. This is a small gift, I hope you can accept it." Yuan Shu handed over the carefully selected teacup.

She learned from Shi Lu that the Xiao couple liked to collect antiques, calligraphy and paintings, so she personally took Zhou Yan to choose.

"You're too polite, ma'am. That thing has already passed. There's no need to mention it again." Liu Fangyu took the gift and looked at Yuan Shu with a smile.

"Madam, there must be a lot of people asking you out during this period. Are you asking me out shopping?"

Yuan Shu also smiled. She liked to associate with smart people.

"You can just call me Yuan Shu. There's no need to be so reserved. I didn't ask you out to buy anything. I wonder if you've heard of the company 'Yuan'?"

While the two were talking, the coffee was served. Yuan Shu picked up the cup, took a sip, and put it down expressionlessly.

So people of this era called the medicine they drank coffee.

She didn't know what disease coffee could cure, but all medicines were slightly toxic, so she couldn't drink it.

Liu Fangyu seemed to know what Yuan Shu wanted to do. She studied law in college, and this company called Yuan'an is now in crisis. Although not serious, it poses a huge threat to the future.

Liu Fangyu originally wanted to refuse, but when she looked up, she met Yuan Shu's sparkling eyes.

"Mrs. Xiao, are you willing to trust me once and cooperate with me once?"
