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.
