Immediately, Lu Xi's little eyes darted around, and she came up with a great idea.

Isn't it just keeping her hanging on?

She has plenty of ways to deal with things; she'll meet force with force and water with water.

She knew that Lu Fan was just teasing her because of what had just happened.

They'll pay when they're satisfied.

"Oh, my dear brother, you know how fast prices are rising these days. With our living conditions, we can't skimp on the renovations. So I've made thorough preparations to renovate my little house nicely, so that when guests come over, they'll be happy to see it. Don't you agree?"

As Lu Xi spoke, her hands never stopped moving, afraid that Lu Fan would be dissatisfied.

Lu Fan naturally didn't care about such a small amount of money.

However, you can't spoil your little sister like that, or she'll develop some problems.

He really didn't know how to end this situation.

However, he only said these things to tease her.

“I’m not a money tree, you can’t just shake out whatever amount of money you want right away.”

Lu Fan still maintained the same clueless attitude as before.

While speaking, he secretly observed the expression on Lu Xi's face.

As expected, Lu Xi's expression began to change little by little after hearing this.

But he quickly stopped and immediately put on a smiling face.

No matter what, she told herself that she had to keep up the act in front of her brother.

Otherwise, it's uncertain whether there will be any follow-up funding.

"Brother, you may not be a money tree, but you're a great benefactor to me! My renovation costs are just a drop in the ocean for you, you definitely wouldn't mind investing a little more in me, right? My brother is so capable, he certainly wouldn't hold it against me! Please, my good brother, I really need this money."

Faced with such sweet words, most people would have already succumbed to them.

Lu Fan just won't fall for your tricks, because he always ends up falling for them.

Every time, I get angry and get tricked, which makes me feel really cheated.

"It's not that I don't want to agree, it's just that I'm suddenly a little thirsty. If I had a glass of water, maybe I could think of it faster."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Xi rushed to pour water.

Then it was handed to Lu Fan, the whole process flowing smoothly.

"How's the water temperature? Is it too hot?"

Lu Fan wasn't in a hurry. He slowly drank his water, keeping Lu Xi hanging on like this.

"It's alright, just right. Let me tell you, if I wanted to invest in you, it's not impossible. I have one condition: if you can agree to that and promise to keep it a secret, the money will be in place immediately."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xi felt a glimmer of hope and immediately moved closer.

"Brother, just say it. I'll agree to anything you ask."

"Did you hear what your sister-in-law and I were saying when you passed by the door just now? Confess honestly!"

Lu Fan stared at Lu Xi with a sharp look in his eyes, and Lu Xi felt a little guilty under his gaze.

So she quickly admitted it, while fidgeting as she spoke: "Actually, I didn't hear much, just a general idea."

"You are not allowed to tell Mom and Dad a single word of what you've heard. If they find out, I will take back all the money. Don't blame me for being heartless and disowning you as my sister then."

Lu Fan clearly stated all his requirements at once, fearing that Lu Xi would go and tell Wu Hui about them.

"I'm afraid things will escalate again," Lu Xi thought after hearing this.

She nodded symbolically, knowing that her brother was afraid of the conflict between his wife and their mother.

However, if Wu Hui finds out about this, she will definitely give him a lecture.

"Is it that simple? Are there any other conditions attached? If you don't say anything, I'll take it as a yes."

Then the atmosphere fell silent for a long while, and Lu Fan remained silent, which already said it all.

"That's all. If you can do it, I'll invest whatever amount you want. And I won't haggle with you."

Lu Xi naturally wouldn't let such a good thing pass by, especially since she wasn't a big mouth.

She wouldn't just casually mention something that could affect family relationships like that.

That's simply inhuman.

Lu Xi immediately jumped up and down: "Just based on these conditions, I'll agree 100%. And I guarantee my mouth will be sealed tight, I won't tell Mom a single thing! Don't worry, do you think I don't know you? I would never share a secret with anyone."

Lu Fan looked at Lu Xi with some suspicion upon hearing this.

Even she herself probably can't guarantee what she's saying.

"Are you serious? If you can guarantee it, I'll believe you this time. But you know what the consequences will be if you tell others."

"Brother, don't worry. I always keep my word. Since I've already promised to keep it a secret, I definitely won't tell anyone!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Lu Fan with anticipation.

Seeing that Lu Xi's attitude was quite sincere, Lu Fan figured she probably wasn't lying.

"Alright then, since you've already said that, I have no reason to disagree. So, how much money do you want to invest?"

Seeing that her brother had finally relented, Lu Xi thought that she had no choice but to fleece him of a large sum of money.

Such opportunities are rare, and if you miss them, you might never have another chance.

He then held up three fingers, and Lu Fan understood what he meant.

He immediately agreed.

"That's all? No problem. But you have to keep your promise to me."

Seeing her brother win the first round, Lu Xi was overjoyed.

This three million is practically free, isn't it? It couldn't be more awesome.

"Don't worry, brother. I'll definitely keep my promise. But if I don't have enough funds, can I still come to you?"

Lu Xi noticed that her brother seemed to be in a good mood today.

I figured it wouldn't be a problem to extort even more.

"As far as I know, this amount of money would be enough to build a whole garden. If it's not enough, come find me and I'll help you calculate it."

After realizing there was no chance, Lu Xi secretly complained.

It seems they're not so easily fooled.

Alright, alright, now that I have three million, I can't be too greedy.

"Well, if it's really not enough, I'll still come to you. You know how fast I spend money, so anything can happen."

Lu Xi thought that this was a way of taking precautions in advance.

Lu Fan will definitely agree without a doubt.
