Yuan Shu shook her head. Actually, she had been using Shi Xiao's card for her recent purchases. This card had no limit and could be used whenever she wanted. It was convenient, but there was a lottery and cash could not be withdrawn.

The most important thing is that she wants to invest and has her own savings. It is inconvenient to use the Shi family's money. It is simpler and more convenient to find Shi Lu.

Yuan Shu explained: "You have heard about the project that Tan Jing mentioned before. I want to invest in it."

Shi Lu frowned, "But didn't you reject him at the beginning?"

"So I invested in someone else's name."

"Liu Fangyu?" Shi Lu remembered that Liu Fangyu came to eat at noon today, and as far as he knew, Yuan Shu didn't have many friends, so it was not difficult to guess that this person was Liu Fangyu.

Yuan Shu nodded.

Shi Lu knew that since Yuan Shu was willing to borrow money from him, she must trust him very much. He also believed in Yuan Shu's judgment. Since Yuan Shu said she wanted to invest, it must be a very profitable business. So he didn't waste any more words and asked directly, "How much money do you need?"

Yuan Shu was not surprised. She just asked because she knew Shi Lu would lend her money. She didn't expect Shi Lu to be so decisive.

"one million."

Shi Lu nodded. Fortunately, the amount was not much and he could borrow one million. So he immediately transferred the money to Yuan Shu's card.

Yuan Shu looked at the transfer information and said, "Don't worry, I won't lend you this money for nothing. According to the bank loan interest rate, I will also pay you the interest."

Shi Lu waved his hand, "Why are you being so polite to me? You can take this money. We are all family. It doesn't matter. If you want to have your own small treasury and don't want to use the Shi family's money, just think of it as my investment in you. Just like 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 eyes were very sincere, even Yuan Shu was slightly moved.

Some feelings are tacit understandings that do not require much explanation. Sometimes a look or a gesture can make you feel each other's trust and love.

Yuan Shu did not thank him, but smiled with relief and said, "I understand, second brother."

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

Yuan Shu invited her to sit at the dining table and said, "She went out early this morning, probably to prepare evidence. I heard her say that you guys talked about it yesterday. Do you have any specific arrangements?"

Liu Fangyu said, "It's just some legal procedures. Since you're not a lawyer, I won't tell you more. Don't worry, as long as the evidence is ready, I'm confident in this lawsuit."

Yuan Shu smiled and said, "I have great confidence in you, too."

Today, Yuan Shu specially asked the chef to prepare a few dishes. The dishes were exquisite and had unique taste, so he decided to treat Liu Fangyu to a meal.

Yuan Shu picked up a lotus seed, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully, then took out the lotus core and simmered it over low heat. The lotus seed was wrapped in the aroma of the soup, which eliminated the bitterness of the lotus core and the taste was just right.

Yuan Shu swallowed the lotus seeds and said, "I asked you to come here today because I need your help with something."

Liu Fangyu was straightforward. "Just tell me what you want to say. Don't be polite to me."

"I want to invest in a project, but this project belongs to the Tan family. It is not convenient for me to come forward directly, so I would like to ask you to help me negotiate."

When Liu Fangyu heard the word "Tan family", his expression froze and he already had a plan in mind.

"I understand your concerns, but there is someone more suitable for this matter than me."

"Who?"

Yuan Shu was very curious. Liu Fangyu was a person who made friends based on friendship. The people she trusted and recommended must be people who could make her feel at ease.

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

Liu Fangyu could see that Yuan Shu was a little worried, so she smiled and said, "Of course it's my husband. Although he and I opened this law firm, his main business is venture capital. If their company told the Tan family, the Tan family wouldn't be suspicious."

Yuan Shu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Liu Fangyu was so thoughtful. This method was indeed feasible.

Moreover, Liu Fangyu's husband Xiao Sheng also came to the banquet the night before. Yuan Shu had some impression of him. He was a cunning and sincere person.

He is cunning, because he is a venture capitalist, and he must have more strategies in his mind than others. He will automatically calculate various results in his mind and choose the one that is most beneficial to him.

However, he is a very easy person to get along with.

Yuan Shu could clearly see the sincerity in his eyes. Although he was calculating, he was indeed very sincere.

What left the deepest impression on Yuan Shu was that when Yuan Shu thanked him for Yuan'an and mentioned Liu Fangyu's name, the love in Xiao Sheng's eyes could not be concealed at all, and there was even a bit of pride in it, which moved Yuan Shu very much.

This is also why everyone praises the Xiao couple for their love and happiness, and their relationship is so enviable.

Yuan Shu was naturally very happy to have a professional helping him invest. He immediately discussed the matter with Liu Fangyu and handed the money to Liu Fangyu.

After lunch, Yuan Shu asked Liu Fangyu to sit for a while before asking the driver to take her back to the law firm.

The weather has been gloomy these two days. It was sunny in the morning, but the temperature suddenly dropped in the afternoon.

Yuan Shu and Shi Lu stood under a gardenia tree in the garden outside their ancestral home. In the gloomy weather, even the color of the flowers seemed dim.

A moment later, a yellow gardenia petal fell and landed on Yuan Shu's shoulder.

Yuan Shu had tied her hair into a bun in the morning, and it was now slightly curly. Her thick black hair, paired with white gardenia petals, made her look tranquil.

Shi Lu raised his hand to take the petal, rotated it twice on his fingertips, and then threw it under the gardenia tree, letting it return to its roots.

“It will take at least a year to transfer the funds back into the project, so your coffers may be empty for a while,” he said.

Yuan Shu looked at the white flowers under the gardenia tree and said calmly, "It's okay. I expected it, but according to Shi Bin's calculations, this project should be profitable in half a year."

Yuan Shu suddenly changed the subject and said to Shi Lu while looking at the cement road around the garden: "Starting tomorrow morning, you have to run with me every morning when you get up."

Shi Lu was a little confused.

He followed Yuan Shu's gaze, looked at the cement road outside, and heard Yuan Shu's tone, which was not a negotiation at all, but a direct arrangement.

Shi Lu was confused and repeated uncertainly: "Morning run?"

There's really no way he could get up so early! Besides, how could he go running in the morning like this?!

Yuan Shu glanced at him and said simply, "You guys have very poor physical fitness and are not in good shape. You need to exercise."

Too outrageous? Shi Lu felt as if a stone had suddenly fallen from the sky and pressed on his shoulders.

He wanted to explain, but saw Yuan Shu had turned around and walked back.

Suddenly, she stopped and turned to look at Shi Lu's arm which was bandaged due to his injury.

"Oh yeah, you're hurt."

Hope rekindled in Shi Lu's heart.

"Then get up in the morning and go hiking."
