Lu Xi dared not confront them directly.
After all, we are now living under someone else's roof, so whether we have enough money for the renovation is another matter.
Right now, the most important thing is to hold on tight to her brother, this huge money tree, and Lu Xi is feeling quite balanced.
Although she had a little money of her own, she couldn't help but take advantage of her older brother.
It wouldn't be Lu Xi's style if she didn't take advantage of others.
After thinking it over, the three of them set off together to head back.
While waiting for the elevator, Lu Fan and Jiang Manyue were being affectionate, while Lu Xi coughed lightly a few times.
Then, while exchanging glances, he gestured using hand signals that only the two of them could understand:
See you on the balcony later!
With that cough, Lu Fan knew exactly what Lu Xi was planning. He could only blame himself for knowing Lu Xi too well.
Lu Fan knows the weight of Lu Xi's farts.
After arriving home, Lu Xi went to the balcony alone.
Lu Fan then told Jiang Manyue to rest well before going to meet up with her.
"Speak up, what do you want from me? Why do you have to hide it from your sister-in-law? Can't you say it to my face?"
Lu Fan started to feign composure, knowing that this little rascal must have something on his mind.
"Oh dear brother, why are you being so cold to me? I just wanted to discuss the renovation costs with you."
As Lu Xi spoke, she began to blink.
This irresistible charm offensive was practically a fatal blow to Mr. and Mrs. Lu.
But for Lu Fan, it was practically useless.
He's gotten used to it, and sometimes when he sees her, he thinks, "If she weren't my own sister..."
He immediately delivered two powerful punches.
"Okay, okay, don't try that on me! You're going to scare me to death!"
Seeing this, Lu Fan immediately dodged. If he couldn't afford to offend them, then he should at least avoid them, right?
Seeing Lu Fan like this, Lu Xi launched another offensive, starting to throw a tantrum.
"I want to make a simple request, and I think my smart and handsome older brother will definitely grant it!"
Lu Fan was left helpless by this whole situation.
"What, you're short of money for renovations again, so you're thinking of your dear brother?"
Lu Xi pursed her lips when she heard this.
"My dear brother, I just want to renovate properly. And a proper renovation requires this, doesn't it?"
Then, while speaking, he made a gesture as if he were reaching out for money.
"I've been thinking about it, and I think we should decorate it in a European style. When it's finished, my parents and sister-in-law will be so proud! What do you think, brother?"
So this is all for the sake of saving face. But this little bit of money is nothing to Lu Fan.
Lu Xi always gives in to her every request for money.
However, I simply couldn't resist her coquettish charm.
As Lu Xi spoke, she talked eloquently, seemingly full of confidence in the renovation team.
"Then I'll add another two million for you. Just let me know if it's not enough."
As soon as Lu Fan finished speaking, Lu Xi's eyes lit up at his generous gesture.
"He's absolutely the best brother I could ever have!"
As Lu Xi spoke, she began to calculate in her mind that four million would definitely be enough for the renovation.
It will be no problem to decorate it in the style I want.
Besides, she figured she might as well take advantage of the situation. Since her brother had already spoken, Lu Xi was determined not to be polite.
She doesn't consider herself an outsider at all in this respect.
"Just don't cause me any more trouble. Like this old lady today, if your sister-in-law and I hadn't gone over, you'd be left to deal with it all by yourself."
As he spoke, Lu Fan flicked Lu Xi's head and began to lecture her earnestly.
“I didn’t start this, and besides, how could there be no noise during renovations? This old lady was just deliberately causing trouble. I told her to apologize properly, but she wouldn’t listen. So you can’t blame me for taking drastic measures.”
Lu Xi responded with a silly grin, rubbing his head incessantly.
Lu Fan's attack on her served as a lesson learned.
But there's no guarantee that someone won't cause trouble again next time; Lu Xi has never been one to stir up trouble.
However, faced with this unreasonable old lady, she could only fight fire with fire.
If we remain silent, we might suffer a great injustice.
"You little devil, you never give me a moment's peace."
Looking at Lu Xi's arrogant expression, Lu Fan wanted to give her a good talking-to.
"By the way, you absolutely mustn't let your sister-in-law know about this."
Although Lu Xi is charming and cunning, she still knows this basic etiquette.
After all, her brother is a married man. If he knew that his sister was giving so much money to him, what would he do?
And it wasn't with her consent.
The two of them might end up arguing, and Lu Xi doesn't really want Jiang Manyue to know about this.
At that time, Lu Fan finalized the decision to buy a house for Lu Xi.
Although Jiang Manyue didn't say anything, she had some thoughts in her mind.
Lu Xi wasn't so ignorant of basic social etiquette that she could only do this kind of extortion behind Jiang Manyue's back.
"No wonder you called me out alone. It seems you really don't want your sister-in-law to know about this."
Lu Fan couldn't help but chuckle.
Although I didn't say anything about it, how could Jiang Manyue, with her intelligence and wit, not have thought of it?
It's just that it wasn't said openly.
He knows his wife very well; she wouldn't get jealous or hold a grudge over such a small amount of money.
On the contrary, they might support it.
If this is objectionable, then Lu Fan has truly misjudged him.
However, upon closer examination, it is almost impossible.
Jiang Manyue always lets Lu Fan make the decisions.
If you really can't make up your mind, then talk to her about it.
"This is a secret between you, me, and heaven. I hope this doesn't cause you and your sister-in-law to argue. I'll feel really bad about it."
Lu Xi revealed her true thoughts.
No matter how mischievous and unreasonable she may be, she still knows her limits.
If she were to hurt their relationship over such a small matter, she would feel terribly guilty.
"My silly sister, when did you become so enlightened?"
Lu Fan couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
Upon hearing Lu Fan call her stupid, Lu Xi naturally couldn't help but retort.
"Please, where can you find a sister as sensible as me!"
"You'd better cherish this opportunity while it lasts, or you'll regret it when I let someone else be your older brother."
Seeing Lu Xi's expression, Lu Fan couldn't help but raise his hand, which made him so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.
However, I'm really not satisfied until I drive my naughty little sister half to death.
