Shi Lu wanted to ask what had happened between his brother and his sister-in-law.

Moreover, his sister-in-law liked Zhang Zhang so much, so he brought Zhang Zhang along to add some laughter to her new residence.

When Shi Lu invited Zhang Zhang to visit Yuan Shu’s house, Zhang Zhang agreed without thinking and said, “I’ll go and discuss the schedule with the director first. I’ll be out very soon. Please wait for me!”

Zhang Zhang was afraid that Shi Lu wouldn’t be willing to wait for her, so she emphasized the last sentence anxiously.

Shi Lu smiled and said, “Go quickly. I’ll wait for you.”

Then, Shi Lu asked Shi Yi for the exact location of Yuan Shu’s home and brought Zhang Zhang to the furniture factory to order furniture. They even bought some fruits and daily necessities on the way.

As Shi Lu had expected, Yuan Shu’s house was empty. It seemed that she had just moved in and hadn’t had the time to decorate it.

Shi Lu swaggered onto the only sofa in Yuan Shu’s house and said, “I’ve already gone to the furniture factory to order furniture just now. They’ll probably send all the furniture over soon. Sister-in-law, don’t worry. I’ve entered your room before and remember your furnishings, so I know what kind of furniture you like. 1 bought them according to your preferences.”

To observe these details, Yuan Shu felt that Shi Lu was quite sensible and considerate enough.

Although Yuan Shu didn’t have much furniture here, she brought the tea set, so she could still treat the guests to tea.

Zhang Zhang watched as Yuan Shu skillfully brewed tea and handed the teacups to them elegantly. She couldn’t help but praise, “Sister Yuan Shu, you’re really amazing. You even know how to brew tea!

Shi Lu said disdainfully, “Don’t make a fuss. This is no big deal. My sister-in-law knows a lot of things. You have to slowly realize it.”

Whenever Zhang Zhang and Shi Lu were together, they couldn’t help but bicker. “Your sister-in-law knows so many things, but I’ve never seen you learn them properly. You’re such a slacker. Aren’t you afraid of embarrassing Sister Yuan Shu?”

Shi Lu said smugly, “My sister-in-law won’t mind. Besides, I’m not embarrassing at all. 1 can bring happiness to my sister-in-law, but can you?”

Zhang Zhang was unhappy. “Don’t I bring Sister Yuan Shu happiness too? Otherwise, why did you bring me here? You were worried that Sister Yuan Shu would be in a bad mood, so you asked me to coax her.”

After saying that, Zhang Zhang realized that she had made a faux pas, so she looked at Yuan Shu guiltily and said, “Sister Yuan Shu, I didn’t mean that. I wanted to say, um…”

She thought for a long time, but couldn’t finish her words and kept stammering for a long time.

Yuan Shu said, “It’s okay. I’m very happy to see you.”

After Yuan Shu finished speaking, Zhang Zhang couldn’t help but grin.

Shi Lu couldn’t help but ask, “Sister-in-law, what’s going on between you and my eldest brother? Why did you suddenly move out?”

Yuan Shu said, “Nothing happened to us, but there are some things that need to be dealt with now. You’ll know in a while. Although I moved out, I’m still your sister-in-law. If anything happens, you can look for me. By the way, I’ve already transferred the money I borrowed from you to your account with interest.”

This feeling of drawing a line made Shi Lu very unhappy. He hurriedly sat up and asked with a frown, “Sister-in-law, why are you in a hurry to return the money to me? I’m not in a hurry to use the money.”

Yuan Shu said, “Don’t worry, I’m not trying to draw a line with you. It’s because Yushu Buyi is already earning profits now and is on the right track. I’ll give you the money I have first. I’m not someone who likes owing money to others. Besides, I don’t plan to calculate the payment for the furniture you bought for me.”

Only then was Shi Lu satisfied and sat down happily.

In order to liven up the atmosphere, Zhang Zhang interrupted, “Sister Yuan Shu, do you have any plans for the afternoon?”

After Yuan Shu thought for a while, she replied, “Not yet.”

Actually, she should have a lot of things to do, but she had already agreed with Shi Xiao that she would report to work at the Shi Corporation tomorrow morning, so Yuan Shu planned to rest for a while today. After all, she was going to start high-intensity work tomorrow.

Zhang Zhang suggested, “Why don’t we go dye our hair in the afternoon?”
