Lu Minghai opened his mouth, gestured with both hands as if holding a sword, and stabbed it into his heart.

"Big brother, this isn't fair. You can go and date, but why do you have to force me to go on blind dates?" Lu Minghai pouted.

Su Xueyi put her hands in her pockets, lowered her head slightly, and looked at her toes.

“Lu Minghai can go, but he can’t listen to our conversation,” Su Xueyi said.

"I don't want to hear it yet," Lu Minghai scoffed.

The three of them found a coffee shop. Su Xueyi and Mu Qingfeng went into a private glass room, while Lu Minghai stayed outside.

Mu Qingfeng sat opposite Su Xueyi, feeling somewhat uneasy.

"Can't you say what's on your mind at the company?" Mu Qingfeng chuckled twice.

"I want to borrow money from you," Su Xueyi said, holding her cup and pursing her lips.

"Huh?" Mu Qingfeng's eyes widened.

How could Su Xueyi have come to the point where she needs to borrow money?

"You heard me right, I need to borrow money from you, in my personal capacity," Su Xueyi said calmly.

"How much?" Mu Qingfeng asked.

Borrowing money is a good idea.

If you lend money to the female lead, she will remember your kindness more.

From now on, she can whisper sweet nothings in the male lead's ear and stop targeting her.

"Aren't you going to ask me what I'm going to do?" Su Xueyi raised an eyebrow.

“You must have your reasons,” Mu Qingfeng said, spreading his hands.

"Aren't you afraid I'll just take your money and run away?" Su Xueyi smiled.

“You’re not that kind of person,” Mu Qingfeng waved his hand.

"You seem to trust me quite a bit," Su Xueyi shook her head.

"I want to borrow 500 million," Su Xueyi said again.

"Sure, I'll call you tomorrow." Mu Qingfeng nodded.

Sigh, he thought he was going to borrow a lot, making it all so formal.

It took them half a year to reach 500 million.

Sprinkle some water.

“My dad wants to buy that land, and it’s estimated to cost no less than 2 billion. Currently, the company only has about 1.7 billion in liquid assets.”

Su Xueyi spoke calmly, as if she were talking about what dishes she had eaten that day.

"You don't need to explain this to me in such detail." Mu Qingfeng scratched his forehead.

“It’s alright, 1.7 billion is nothing to your company.” Su Xueyi crossed her arms and leaned back.

"That's still quite a lot," Mu Qingfeng quickly waved his hand.

Just kidding, he's just never seen 1.7 billion in his entire life.

How could he think it's nothing?

Although the Mu family is very wealthy now...

“You think 1.7 billion is too much, so 500 million is not a small amount either. You just want to lend it to me?” Su Xueyi said with a smile.

"I believe you." Mu Qingfeng flashed his eight big teeth.

"What if I can't pay it back?" Su Xueyi leaned forward, looking at Mu Qingfeng.

The sudden closeness caught Mu Qingfeng off guard, her eyes darting around nervously.

"If I can't pay it back, I won't. I don't need it anyway. Just consider it a failed investment. If you make a profit, it's yours; if you lose, it's mine."

Mu Qingfeng swallowed hard.

Su Xueyi did not back down, but slowly approached.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Lu Minghai poked his head in.

"Brother and sister-in-law, can you two be a little more careful? This is a glass room!" Lu Minghai said speechlessly.

Mu Qingfeng suddenly stepped back, her ear tips turning red.

Su Xueyi smiled and said calmly, "We didn't do anything."

"I think you two are about to start kissing!" Lu Minghai rolled his eyes.

It's already annoying enough, and now I have to be fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

"Don't talk nonsense!" Mu Qingfeng rebuked through gritted teeth.

Lu Minghai said, "I'm going out. You can continue. If you really want to gnaw on it, please close the curtain."

He slammed the door shut in annoyance.

Mu Qingfeng lowered his head to drink his coffee, his features scrunched up.

"Damn, there's no sugar in it."

Su Xueyi burst out laughing.

"Didn't you say that project was going to be a collaboration with Ye Aotian? Why are you asking me separately to borrow 500 million?"

"Moreover, the minimum is two billion, and even if you add this five hundred million, it's only two billion, which is not safe at all," Mu Qingfeng said with a frown.

“I still have some money on hand, and I consider this part of it as my personal investment,” Su Xueyi said calmly.

"Not in the company's name?" Mu Qingfeng asked in surprise.

"The Su family has too many parasites now. I want to start from scratch?" She lowered her eyes and took a sip of coffee.

My mouth tasted bitter, but my heart was not as bitter.

Mu Qingfeng didn't know what to say to comfort her.

"You still haven't answered my first question? Why aren't you cooperating with Ye Aotian?"

"You saw it yourself, Ye Aotian is like this today. I don't feel comfortable cooperating with someone like him," Su Xueyi said with a mocking smile.

Mu Qingfeng's eyes darted around; this wouldn't do.

If Su Xueyi stops cooperating with Ye Aotian, the protagonist will definitely suspect that he is behind it again, and then blame himself.

No, I need to give Su Xueyi a good talking-to.

“Today was an accident! Mr. Ye is definitely not like this normally! I think you should cooperate with him.” Mu Qingfeng said seriously.

"That's strange. Why do you always have such a mysterious confidence in him?" Su Xueyi looked at Mu Qingfeng with a puzzled expression.

"I didn't," Mu Qingfeng denied guiltily.

Of course he's the protagonist. If the protagonist doesn't succeed, how can the villain succeed?

"He has an extraordinary presence and is destined for great things," Mu Qingfeng said, nodding as he spoke.

"He looks like a good-for-nothing," Su Xueyi said dismissively.

Mu Qingfeng clicked his tongue.

You're the leading lady, how could you say that about your future husband?

You should give him your full support!

"No, no, no, what you saw today is just his appearance. He is actually very business-minded. Believe me, if you cooperate with him, you will definitely become more and more successful in the future." Mu Qingfeng stretched out his finger and shook it.

Su Xueyi smiled and said, "I don't trust anyone, I only trust myself."

Mu Qingfeng shrugged.

"You should still cooperate with him. I won't lend you that money anymore. You'll definitely make money this time!" Mu Qingfeng said confidently.

"What do you mean?" Su Xueyi's face instantly turned cold.

Mu Qingfeng was intimidated by Su Xueyi's imposing manner.

“If you don’t lend it to me, then I…” Su Xueyi bit her lip.

She lifted her eyelids to look at Mu Qingfeng and said, "I'm begging you."

Mu Qingfeng's heart skipped a beat.

"Don't beg me, I'll lend it to you. Don't look at me like that, it makes me look like some kind of bad guy," Mu Qingfeng said helplessly.

Su Xueyi's tears instantly disappeared.

“Then we can’t go back on our word this time.” Su Xueyi smiled brightly.

"You were faking it?" Mu Qingfeng looked at Su Xueyi in surprise.

Su Xueyi remained silent.

She knew which angles would make Mu Qingfeng completely powerless.

Su Xueyi shook her car keys and said, "Remember to transfer the money to me tomorrow. I have something to do at the company, so I'll be leaving now."

She winked playfully at Mu Qingfeng.

After Su Xueyi left, Lu Minghai pushed open the door and came in.

"What were you two talking about? Why did she leave first? You didn't even invite her out for a meal. Brother, your emotional intelligence is really worrying." Lu Minghai shook his head.

"Everyone only has eyes for you, you're just a blockhead, boring!"
