Lu Fan spoke with a pitiful expression.
Since returning, he has truly been trying his best to make up for Jiang Manyue.
Perhaps it wasn't done very well, but it was the best I could do.
Having suddenly understood Lu Fan's good intentions, Jiang Manyue decided not to blame him.
What she saw in her eyes was more heartache:
"Honey, I'm so sorry, I misunderstood you. I really shouldn't have said that. You're the one who's always running around for me, and I didn't appreciate it at all."
The more Jiang Manyue talked, the more aggrieved she felt.
But Lu Fan was already used to it; pregnant women are often a bit sensitive and suffer from neurasthenia.
He had already witnessed it before.
"Alright, alright, honey. It's okay, these are all small things. As long as you're not angry with me, everything will be fine. Now you should take a nap. I'll apologize to you properly after you wake up."
He then embraced Jiang Manyue and quickly calmed down.
Lu Fan left the room with peace of mind, only to run into Lu Xi, his unlucky younger sister, as soon as he stepped out.
"Hey bro, what a coincidence, I just happened to be passing by here."
Upon hearing this, Mingren said without any further ado: "If you came here to eavesdrop, congratulations on having achieved your goal."
After saying that, he prepared to go downstairs.
Lu Xi had no idea that she would always be the one to encounter this kind of thing. She swore she really wasn't there to eavesdrop.
"I really didn't! Wait a minute, bro, I have something important to tell you."
He followed Lu Fan downstairs, and Lu Fan sat down on the sofa looking exhausted.
I just finished appeasing my wife, and now I have to deal with this troublesome younger sister.
He truly had no idea what sins he had committed.
"Spit it out! Can't you see I'm busy?"
"Oh dear brother, what are you so busy with? Your wife has already gone to bed, what are you worried about?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Fan quickly glared at Lu Xi.
They said they weren't there to eavesdrop, but it seems they heard everything perfectly.
"I really underestimated you. You're quite good at flattering people, and I didn't expect you to be such a good eavesdropper as well. Who taught you all this? You don't learn the good things, you only learn the bad things. I think it's been a long time since anyone disciplined you."
After saying that, he threw a pillow at Lu Xi.
Lu Xi wasn't stupid; she simply dodged it.
Afterwards, he even made a silly face at Lu Fan:
"You think you can hit me? You're seriously underestimating me. I'll tell Mom, and she'll deal with you!"
Seeing Lu Xi's irritating look, Lu Fan managed to suppress the urge to punch her.
"You brat, you better watch out lately. Otherwise, you know what will happen to you."
He then raised an eyebrow menacingly.
Lu Xi was also terrified and dared not continue teasing, fearing that she might end up getting burned.
"Look how anxious you are. I really have something to tell you. I haven't seen you for the past few days. I know you were busy trying to acquire the shop. But I just heard that the deal fell through. Is my sister-in-law very angry? It looks like you two are about to have a fight."
Lu Xi frowned, trying hard to recall everything she had just heard.
"You really love to stir up trouble. If your sister-in-law and I really start arguing, I bet you'll be the happiest one, not only happy but also gloating."
Lu Fan casually pursed his lips; he had figured it out by now.
His unlucky little sister never expects anything good from her older brother.
Seeing that Lu Fan seemed genuinely angry, Lu Xi gradually calmed down a bit.
Their attitude gradually softened:
"I was wrong. If you and your sister-in-law really started fighting, I would definitely have tried to stop them. How could I just stand by and watch? Besides, you and your sister-in-law have been so good to me, how could I be so heartless?"
"That makes more sense. So, what do you want from me?"
Only then did Lu Fan's emotions calm down a little.
"Well... I'm a little embarrassed to say this, but my dear brother, could you grant me a request? You can agree to whatever I say from now on, okay?"
Lu Xi was also stammering, and anyone who didn't know better would think she had done something shameful.
However, Lu Fan knew Lu Xi quite well, so her behavior was definitely not a good thing.
Lu Fan thought that this mischievous girl must have something to ask for again.
He wouldn't have gone upstairs to look for him for no reason.
"Tell me what happened first. Today, it depends on my mood. I don't know why, but I suddenly feel a lot of back pain."
Upon seeing this, Lu Xi immediately decided not to sit idly by and wait for her fate.
He walked straight to Lu Fan's side, ready to show off his skills.
"Come here, brother. Let me give you a massage, I guarantee it'll make you feel refreshed. Is it here?"
"Come a little over here, hey, right, right, this way, put some effort into it. Don't look like you haven't eaten."
Upon hearing Lu Fan's words, Lu Xi immediately increased her efforts.
But she was also extremely unhappy inside. If it weren't for the fact that she had her eye on another large garden, she wouldn't have been so humble and subservient.
With limited funds, Lu Xi spends money extravagantly and doesn't know how to plan at all.
If the workers perform even slightly well, they get special treatment. And these meals aren't cheap. Add to that the cost of materials and renovations, and prices are already high, so after such a hefty expense, it's easy to lose nothing.
Therefore, Lu Xi asked for an advance on funds from Lu Fan this time, otherwise, given her current financial situation...
A large garden is something you can only dream of.
After pressing for a while, Lu Fan finally relented: "Your technique is not bad. Now, tell me, what do you want from me?"
Seeing that Lu Fan seemed to have guessed it, Lu Xi felt that there was hope.
He went straight to the point: "Brother, it seems the funds you gave me aren't quite enough. Yesterday I discovered there's room to build a small garden downstairs, so I was thinking..."
At this point, Lu Fan roughly understood what it meant.
However, it's not so easy to get the money today; he's been too indulgent with his sister before.
To the point that he no longer obeys the law at all, even towards his good older brother.
"You spent four million so quickly? Isn't that a bit too fast?"
Lu Fan spoke casually, showing no inclination to readily give the money to Lu Xi.
Normally, when Lu Xi got to this point...
Lu Fan simply asked how much she wanted, and then generously gave it to her.
Never before has it been like this.
