When Fang An finally noticed Xu Yi, Xu Yi was already in front of him.

Fang An still had not made up his mind to say what was on his mind.

Xu Yi looked at him doubtfully and suddenly said with a smile, “If you have anything to say, just tell me. Don’t hold back.”

Fang An was comforted by Xu Yi’s words and calmed himself down. He summoned up his courage to look at Xu Yi and started to lie with a straight face, “Brother-in-law! It’s my sister’s birthday soon. I don’t have the money to prepare a birthday present for her. Can I borrow some money from you? I really want to buy a present for her.”

“That’s it?”

Xu Yi thought it was ridiculous and laughed.

“Yes.”

“What do you mean by borrow? I can just give you as much as you want. But when is your sister’s birthday?”

Xu Yi had not paid attention to these things before. Now that he had been told about it, he realized that he could give her the present he had prepared for her on her birthday.

“The day after tomorrow.”

“So soon?”

“Yes, yes. Brother-in-law, I would like to borrow three million yuan.”

“Sure, I’ll call you later,” Xu Yi’s mind was filled with the arrangements for her birthday. Fang An’s words did not even cross his mind. After he suddenly reacted, he frowned.

Just when Fang An felt that his brother-in-law was really generous, Xu Yi asked uncertainly, “How much did you say just now?”

“Three million.”

When Fang An repeated the figure, he lowered his head again.

Xu Yi looked at him suspiciously and asked in puzzlement, “What do you want to give her? A cash gift of three million?”

Based on his knowledge of Fang An, he was definitely not such a person.

“I want to buy her a house!”

Fang An was basically speaking nonsense with a straight face.

However, these words piqued Xu Yi’s interest. His eyes lit up and he said, “Your sister likes houses? Alright, leave it to me. You’re so young, you definitely don’t know what kind of house would be good for your sister. I’ll buy it in your name and give it to your sister.”

“… I, I’ve already considered many options.”

Fang An’s instincts told him that he was about to be exposed and he had to stop the damage in time. However, when he thought of what Bai Han said, his head started to hurt!

His hands started to tremble uncontrollably.

“Then bring me along to take a look,” Xu Yi kept smiling, but his eyes did not move away from Fang An’s face for even a moment. All of his unnatural expressions had been captured by him.

However, in the end, no matter what Xu Yi said, Fang An was stubborn and unwilling to reveal anything about the house.

In desperation, Xu Yi did not give him any money, also ceasing to ask any more questions.

When Fang An left, Xu Yi gave Lin Lin a call, asking him to follow Fang An to see what had happened to him recently.

It was indeed a little abnormal for him to act like this.

…

It was Fang Qing’s birthday.

As usual, Fang Qing began to formally prepare her work for the competition. Right now, she was very busy.

So busy that she even forgot it was her birthday.

It was Luo Yu who had sent her a text to remind her that it was her birthday today.

This was the first time Luo Yu had spoken to her again since that fateful day.

Fang Qing admitted that she really couldn’t handle being remembered for her birthday.

Especially when Luo Yu said that he had prepared a surprise for her and asked for her to be there.

Fang Qing put down what she was doing, packed up a little, and went to see Luo Yu.

From what she knew, Luo Yu wasn’t a bad person.

The conflict between him and Xu Yi could definitely be resolved.

Perhaps she could be the turning point?

Luo Yu brought her to the outside of an art studio. Then, in front of the door, he solemnly handed the key with a red string to Fang Qing.

“I have prepared an art studio for you. I know what brand of paper and paint you like. I also know what kind of layout you like. When I saw your paintings, I’ve already guessed some of your preferences. Your expression in art is bold and direct. This is also one of my favorite points regarding you.”

Luo Yu opened the studio door. The moment he pushed it open, Fang Qing seemed to see a dream before her eyes. Everything was so unreal.

It was like a studio that was set up specifically according to Fang Qing’s preferences.

Every part of it was a pleasant surprise to Fang Qing.

She covered her mouth in excitement.

When Luo Yu saw that she was happy, he could not help but laugh.

As he was carefully explaining everything about the studio to Fang Qing, the atmosphere gradually became harmonious and everything was proceeding according to Luo Yu’s plan.

A phone call interrupted them.

It was Xu Yi.

“Fang Qing, where are you? Your brother is missing. I’ll go pick you up first before looking for Fang An.”

Fang Qing’s expression changed for the worse instantly. She looked at Luo Yu in panic and handed the phone to him. She urged, “Luo Yu, tell him the address of this place, quickly!”

When Xu Yi heard this, his eyes immediately darkened.
