Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Actually, from the mont Li Ci ntioned “Yuan An” again, Yuan Shu wanted to interrupt him, but out of respect for the person who she had maintained a friendship with for a month, Yuan Shu still listened to him.

Although it was indeed a pity, Yuan Shu was very rational. The person in front of her could no longer be her friend.

Yuan Shu hated being used because the only people who could use her were those she trusted, like her friends and family, but they were also people she couldn’t tolerate betrayal from the most.

Because she never trusted anyone easily.

Li Ci had crossed the line. Therefore, no matter what their relationship was, the person in front of her could only beco a stranger or an enemy to her in the future.

Yuan Shu smiled at him and said, “Mr. Li, I’m sorry, but I still have sothing on. Please excuse .”

Li Ci was shocked. He knew that he had been too rash, but he didn’t expect Yuan Shu to be able to control her emotions so well. She didn’t reveal any flaws and was very decisive.

He thought that he understood Yuan Shu, but it seed that he had underestimated her.

Shi Xiao had really married a capable woman!

“Yuan…” Li Ci wanted to call her na, but Yuan Shu interrupted him.

“Mr. Li, let’s end things here. Thank you for your hospitality and tea leaves. The Shi family will definitely return the favor in the future.”

In other words, in the future, their relationship would only be between the Shi family and the Li family, not Li Ci and Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu was drawing a clear line with him.

With that, Yuan Shu stood up, picked up her black handbag, and left gracefully.

Shi Bin had already entered Xiao Sheng’s Shenglan Venture Managent Company. As a result, Yuan Shu and Liu Lan gradually interacted more and more. From ti to ti, she would ask about Shi Bin’s performance in the company.

Yuan Shu actually trusted Shi Bin, who was usually a slacker. She knew that he was book smart, but not street smart. However, Shi Bin was still young and didn’t have enough maturity, so he still needed to be disciplined from ti to ti.

Yuan Shu and Li Ci parted on bad terms at the Yunshe Teahouse. Sitting in the back seat of the car, she recalled their conversation carefully. Li Ci wouldn’t ntion Shi Xiao for no reason. Since he suddenly ntioned Shi Xiao, it ant that Shi Xiao was about to return.

Once the news of Shi Xiao’s return spread, those people who were eyeing Yuan An covetously definitely wouldn’t be able to wait and would try to take action as soon as possible. Yuan Shu was worried that it would be impossible to guard against them all alone. She was even more worried that a mole had already sneaked into Yuan An.

Hence, she got the chauffeur to drive to Liu Lan’s place.

Liu Lan didn’t expect Yuan Shu to be in such a hurry to look for her today. Yuan Shu even went straight to the coffee shop downstairs of the law firm to wait for her. As soon as she entered the coffee shop, Liu Lan asked, “What happened? Why are you in such a hurry to see ?”

Yuan Shu waited for Liu Lan to sit down opposite her, then she pushed forward the ice Aricano that she had specifically ordered for her.

“It’s nothing. You don’t have to worry. I just wanted to ask you so questions about labor laws.”

As soon as Liu Lan heard Yuan Shu’s call, she rushed downstairs. She picked up her coffee to take a sip before saying, “Alright, ask away. I’ll try to make things as simple as possible.”

Yuan Shu was very serious. She even took out a notebook and pen to take notes. She asked Liu Lan many questions about employees being fired, confidential matters, the company’s internal information being leaked, and so on.

After more than an hour, Yuan Shu finally finished asking all the questions. Then, she closed the notebook and said to Liu Lan apologetically, “I’m sorry to have delayed you for so long.”

Liu Lan waved her hand and said nonchalantly, “Don’t stand on ceremony. Did sothing happen to Yushu Buyi? Why are you suddenly asking questions about employees?”

Yuan Shu replied, “I’m sorry, it’s not convenient for to tell you these things. However, don’t worry, Yushu Buyi’s operation is going smoothly and there is no problem.”

Hearing that it was inconvenient to talk about this, Liu Lan didn’t ask further. She knew that Yuan Shu definitely had sothing to do next, so she didn’t waste ti with her. “If you have sothing to do, go ahead. I’ll go upstairs.”

Yuan Shu was touched by this friend who would help her unconditionally no matter where or when. However, she couldn’t express her emotions and could only take note of it..
