Lu Fan could only manage a helpless twitch of his lips.
Since they've already said that, we have to agree whether we like it or not.
"As long as things go smoothly and you keep it a secret, there won't be any problem."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xi immediately became excited, thinking that it was all so easy to obtain.
"Thank you so much, my dear brother. But when your wife found out that you didn't take over the shop, she wasn't angry at all."
I knew you were quite capable; you even managed to appease your sister-in-law with this.
Coaxing Jiang Manyue might be a difficult task for others.
For Lu Fan, that was far too easy.
"You just need to keep this a secret for me, and you don't need to worry about anything else. I'll transfer the money to you later."
"Since things have already come to this point, I won't meddle anymore. As long as you can appease your sister-in-law, that's all that matters. I won't tell Mom about this."
After Lu Xi finished speaking, she skipped out the door, and now her little garden was finally settled.
Seeing his younger sister's unreliable behavior, Lu Fan couldn't help but worry, fearing that she might let something slip.
But thinking back, since I had already agreed...
Moreover, they have already used funds as leverage.
It's unlikely that someone would be so big-mouthed as to blurt out everything.

After tidying up, Zhou Wen decided to go out at Ruila Cafe.
Before leaving, Zhou Ruan intended to stop her, knowing that her older sister was definitely going to see that man surnamed Gu.
However, this time it's not about the debt, but about paying off the money completely in one go.
"Sister, you must remember to go early and come back early. Otherwise, if anything really happens, you must call me." Zhou Ruan was extremely worried.
She was terrified that her older sister wouldn't be able to escape unscathed, and she was always on edge when she went there.
Zhou Wen knew that Zhou Ruan was worried about her and wanted to put her mind at ease.
He repeatedly told me, "You just need to take care of the shop. We'll talk about everything else when I get back. Don't worry about my safety."
After saying that, Zhou Wen drove to Yunshuiyao Club.
After entering the main gate, I took the elevator directly to the basement level.
Zhou Wen, who was in the elevator, was also feeling uneasy at this moment.
But he quickly calmed himself down.
If I can't even stay calm, I definitely won't stand a chance against that guy surnamed Gu.
On the contrary, he will see right through you at a glance.
She came here to settle all accounts so that no one owes anyone anything.
The elevator doors slowly opened, but what came into view was not a parking lot.
It's actually a so-called underground winery.
When Zhou Wen first arrived, she was also shocked, thinking it was just an ordinary winery.
Why is it located underground?
It wasn't until later that she realized this so-called underground winery wasn't doing any legitimate business.
So naturally, the money belonging to that person surnamed Gu was not from a good background either; it was all shady dealings.
"Oh, Miss Zhou, what brings you here today?"
A man in black stood by the door, looking at Zhou Wen with a nonchalant air.
Zhou Wen ignored her completely and asked coldly, "Is your CEO Gu here today?"
"Since you've come looking for President Gu, he must be here. I'll take you there right away."
Then, as usual, a black cloth was placed over Zhou Wen's face.
She was being led around, unable to see the road ahead at all.
This was the first time she came, but even now, after so many visits, she still doesn't know the route.
Zhou Wen knew these people were very cunning.
Every time she was about to find her way, she would change her route.
So she's on this route, but that's only half of it.
Every transaction was conducted in this manner, and by the end, Zhou Wen had lost interest in remembering the routes.
She knew that no matter how much she remembered, she couldn't outwit that guy surnamed Gu.
"We've arrived. Mr. Gu is waiting for you inside."
The man in black slowly removed the black cloth from Zhou Wen's face.
Only then did Zhou Wen finally see the scene before her clearly.
After taking a deep breath, Zhou Wen pushed the door open and entered.
A man in a silver suit was standing by the window, a cigar dangling from his lips, wisps of smoke slowly drifting out.
"Mr. Gu, it's been a long time."
Upon hearing Zhou Wen's voice, Gu Hai slowly turned his head, his narrow eyes fixed on Zhou Wen with a hint of gloom.
"It's been a long time, I haven't been here for a while. Did you come today because you missed me?"
Zhou Wen felt a deep disgust for Gu Hai's dissolute and unruly demeanor, but there was nothing she could do to stop him.
On the surface, he maintained a calm demeanor.
"I won't say anything more. I'm here today to pay off all the debts in one go. I'll transfer all the money to your account tomorrow. I hope you won't bother me and my sister anymore after that."
After hearing this, Gu Hai slowly walked to the desk and stretched out his long legs.
With a playful look, she said, "It's been so long since we last met. I didn't expect you to be rich. Did you hook up with some wealthy boyfriend?"
Zhou Wen knew that this man surnamed Gu was not one to say anything nice, so she didn't take him to heart at all.
“Mr. Gu, you don’t need to worry about where my money came from. You just need to know that I’m here to pay back all the money in one go, so that no one owes anyone anything.”
"Oh? You don't owe me anything? That's a bit of a stretch. How much money do you have to make such a boast? Here's this month's interest and principal. Take a good look."
He then reached into his desk, took out a sheet, and slapped it on the table.
Zhou Wen wondered if this guy surnamed Gu was up to some trick.
But I still kept telling myself not to be afraid.
Even if Lu Fan only uses half of his current investment, it would be enough to pay off the loan.
Then he picked up the list on the table, glanced at it, and immediately frowned.
The principal remained the same, but the interest tripled.
"What's going on here? Mr. Gu, you'd better give me a clear explanation!"
Zhou Wen, of course, was not going to back down either. It had been clearly agreed that the interest for each person would only double.
Now it has tripled in number.
Gu Hai listened and sneered, "Do you think it's so easy to pay back the money you borrowed from me? If you're late on the principal for even one day each month, I'll double the amount. You've already been late by two days this month, so it's only natural that I doubled the amount."
You should know that in Guhai, the interest rate for borrowing money is higher than the principal.
