The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

"No, it's better to keep the money separate. How about this, I'll only take 20% of the shares, no more. I need to calculate how much money I have in total. If it's not enough, we can deduct it from my share of the profits from the bar." Yun Shu refused. Business is business, and it can't be mixed with personal relationships. Nobody's money falls from the sky, and even if Aruo's family is rich, she can't take advantage of her.

"Oh dear! Ashu, why are you being so clear about money? You can pay me back when you have the money! You're planning to buy a house, and all the money will be invested in it. How can you buy a house right away?" Xu Ruo was getting anxious. Ashu was always too clear about money matters and never wanted to take advantage of her. She had said a long time ago that she wanted to buy a house and have a home of her own.

Yun Shu shook her head and smiled, "So you need to work hard and run the restaurant well so you can make a lot of money in the future, and then I'll have a place to live."

“Okay! You get 20% of the shares, Ah Feng gets 30%, and I get the most. From now on, I’ll be the boss here!” Xu Ruo said with a grin.

"Hmm! Boss! If it's good, just give us more red envelopes in the future. By the way, did Ah Feng say anything about how to open them?"

"That sissy did offer a few good suggestions. We'll see if they come in handy later."

“You guys know how to eat and have fun, so you must have a lot of ideas, especially Aruo. You'll be the boss in the future, so you have to run it well. We're counting on you. If you encounter any difficulties or need our help anywhere, be sure to let us know.”

Xu Ruo nodded smugly after hearing this, and sighed in her heart: Ashu is the best. The old man is not bad either. He said he would give her 500,000 yuan as sponsorship funds.

Otherwise, she would have spent money extravagantly over the past few years, and her own earnings wouldn't have been enough for her. Ashu, who earns less than her and has to support her uncle's family, has managed to save up enough to buy a house, while she has no savings at all. Her husband even gives her 20,000 yuan in pocket money every month.

Afterwards, the two happily ate something at a nearby small shop for dinner.

It was 7 PM, and it was hot. Many people who didn't dare to go out during the day came out to cool off and take a walk. The two walked down the street, feeling a special connection to the area since they were planning to open a restaurant there. There were stalls and people selling late-night snacks on both sides of the road, making it much more lively than when they first arrived.

Seeing that it was still early and they didn't want to go anywhere else, Xu Ruo decided to take Yun Shu to her house for a while.

Xu Ruo's home was actually not far from the Gu family's, which is why she was able to attend the same school as Yun Shu and Yi Yi since they were little. Yun Shu was a transfer student who joined Xu Ruo's class in the third grade.

When Yun Shu first joined the class, some classmates looked down on her because she came from the countryside and bullied her. Xu Ruo and Yi Yi stood up for Yun Shu, and from then on, the three became best friends, attending the same school all the way through high school. However, Xu Ruo wasn't interested in studying medicine, and she fell ill with a fever during the college entrance exam, so she didn't do well and applied to an ordinary local university. It's a bit of a pity that the three of them couldn't go to university together.

Fortunately, they are all in the same city. Last year, Yunshu went abroad to study for half a year and came back. At the beginning of this year, Yiyi also went abroad. It is a pity that the group can not get together often now.

"Ah Shu, have you been in contact with that woman Yi Yi lately?" Xu Ruo asked as they walked.

"I'll take the day off tomorrow and we can chat online in the morning." Due to the time difference, Yun Shu has to work during the day, and by the time she gets back from get off work and wants to video chat with her, it's already past midnight on her end, so the two don't contact each other often.

"That dead man, he chatted with me last month, but I haven't heard from him lately. By the way! Ashu, why are you taking the day off tomorrow? Is something wrong?" Ashu rarely takes days off, and he's perfectly fine standing right in front of me when he's not sick or injured.

“Looking back at home, it’s the anniversary of my grandmother’s death, so I always have to go back. My dad even called me yesterday, saying I have to go back.”

"Oh, I see... Ah! Your old man is in his prime, you'll probably be under his control for a long time." Just as carefree as her old man, though her own old man isn't as annoying as hers.

“I live far away, so I don’t have much contact with them. I don’t go back every week anymore; I use overtime as an excuse. He’s busy too, and he hasn’t had much time to take care of me in the last two years, so I just go along with him to avoid being called unfilial,” Yun Shu said, pouting.

"Hmm! That works too, but what excuse can I, an unemployed bum, come up with to not go home?" Xu Ru slapped her forehead. Her husband was the most domineering man, and she would nag him even when she came home late every day.

"Alright, your dad's not bad enough, be content!"

Yun Shu pulled Xu Ruo to the car. Xu Ruo's home wasn't far from here, and she wanted to go to her house for a visit.

When Xu Ruo and Yun Shu arrived at the Xu family home, they parked their car and came out.

Every time Yun Shu visited Xu Ruo's house, she felt it was as big as a football field, and the entire area was filled with villas owned by the wealthy. The Xu family's villa was undoubtedly the largest, if not the largest. The interior was opulent and incredibly luxurious. In Xu Ruo's words, it was the style of a nouveau riche, reeking of money, yet her father thought it was quite impressive and felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Seeing Xu Ruo's father sitting in the living room drinking tea, Yun Shu quickly went over to greet him.

As Xu Yang sipped his premium black tea, he looked at his daughter and sighed, "No wonder Aruo came home so early today; she was with you, Yunshu. Come, sit down for a while!" He then pointed to the sofa opposite him.

Xu Yang was only in his early forties, but he was of medium build and not very tall. Xu Ruo's height was inherited from her mother, who was said to be beautiful and slim, and a dance teacher before giving birth to Xu Ruo. However, Xu Yang was not bad-looking, possessing the air of a middle-aged man who had long held a high position. Yun Shu thought that although he wasn't as handsome as Gu Cheng, he was much more amiable and pleasing to the eye. He was a well-known wealthy businessman in Nancheng, involved in various industries. He had immense wealth, but only one daughter, Yu Ruo. Xu Ruo's mother passed away when Xu Ruo was five years old and never remarried, living with Xu Ruo for over a decade.

When Xu Yang spoke, Yun Shu dared not object and pulled the reluctant Xu Ruo to sit on the sofa opposite him.

"Dad, is something the matter? By the way! Why are you back so early today?" It's only a little past eight o'clock, so he probably didn't work overtime.

"I came back after going out for a social event. As for Yunshu, I heard from Aruo that you're working at the First People's Hospital of the city now. You're very ambitious, unlike our Aruo, who wanders around all day, which is a bit outrageous." Looking at Yunshu, who was sitting and standing improperly, and comparing her to Yunshu sitting quietly and properly next to him, Xu Yang sometimes really doubted that this child was his. It was as if the wrong child had been registered at the hospital back then. She didn't resemble him and Xu Ruo's mother at all.

Xu Yang's words made Xu Ruo uncomfortable. She pouted and said unhappily, "Dad, I'm about to open a restaurant and become a boss. Don't always look down on me like this. No matter how bad I am, I'm still your son. Humph!"

Xu Yang looked at Xu Ruo with a smile. Seeing the father and daughter interacting, Yun Shu felt a strange sense of emotion.
