Online dating backfired? A wealthy heir begged me to continue lying to him.

The manager's smile twitched slightly, but he continued to bow.

"Ms. Lu, will this shop continue to operate as usual? Or would you like to make other arrangements?"

Lu Shuangshuang waved her hand dismissively, "Let's leave it like this for now."

"Let me discuss it with Sister Ruanruan and see how to proceed."

Then he waved away the manager and the shop assistants who had come to hear the news.

Once everyone had left, Lu Shuangshuang's expression immediately changed.

He looked at Su Ruan with a delighted expression.

"Sister Ruan Ruan, can you help me see how this shop can be renovated?"

"Now that the store is in my hands, I'm naturally going to make it a lot of money!"

Lu Shuangshuang emphasized the words "make big money," as if she were competing with someone.

Su Ruan pursed her lips.

"But I don't know much about coffee shops."

"That's alright."

Lu Shuangshuang pulled Su Ruan to sit down at the nearest table.

"What would you like to drink? Order whatever you like, it's on me."

Su Ruan ordered a cappuccino.

She's not used to very bitter coffee.

"Okay, I want one too."

"Waiter, two cappuccinos, please."

While waiting for her coffee, Lu Shuangshuang took out her phone and started taking pictures of the store.

Then I edited it on my phone and posted it on WeChat Moments.

—We won! My new coffee shop! Everyone is welcome to come and support us!

As soon as Lu Shuangshuang posted on her WeChat Moments, Su Ruan received a notification.

She clicked on it and took a look.

What was initially taken as a simple boasting turned into a focus on the very first two words.

Won?

At yesterday's banquet, she also heard the word "bet" from Lu Shuangshuang's mouth.

It seems I was talking to Lin Zhiyu at the time.

After introducing her to Lin Zhiyu.

She didn't notice it at the time, but now that she thinks about it, Lu Shuangshuang and Lin Zhiyu's expressions at that time are worth exploring.

It seems that the bet was related to her.

It seems that Lu Shuangshuang has mentioned winning and losing, and the bet, more than once.

She had never connected these words before because she felt they had nothing to do with her.

"Gentlemen, your coffee is ready. Please enjoy!"

Su Ruan picked up her coffee, stirred it, and took a small sip.

The taste was alright.

Then, while stirring his coffee, he asked, "Who did you win this coffee shop from?"

Lu Shuangshuang was scrutinizing the coffee in her hand with an extremely discerning expression.

Upon hearing Su Ruan's question, he casually replied, "Lin Zhiyu, of course."

Su Ruan's heart sank; as expected.

"You and Lin Zhiyu are good friends?" She continued stirring her coffee.

Lu Shuangshuang pouted, "Not really."

As he spoke, he frowned and took a sip of coffee.

Then his expression changed from disgust to anger.

Su Ruan smiled slightly. "What's wrong? Not to your liking?"

Lu Shuangshuang pouted, "It's alright."

That is, the coffee exceeded her expectations.

It seems that Lu Shuangshuang and Lin Zhiyu don't really get along.

"But I noticed that Miss Lin Zhiyu seemed quite familiar with you before," Su Ruan said, continuing to stir her coffee.

Lu Shuangshuang hummed in response.

"I guess so."

Should I count?

That means we used to be friends, but not anymore.

"Is the bet you made related to me?"

Lu Shuangshuang didn't nod, but she looked up and looked at her.

Although Lu Shuangshuang was not as easily fooled as she appeared, she was genuinely unguarded with her.

So her subconscious reaction still revealed some information.

She guessed right.

She guessed right!

She didn't even know who Lin Zhiyu was before, and Lin Zhiyu didn't know who she was either, but Lu Shuangshuang made a bet with Lin Zhiyu that involved her!

Su Ruan finally stopped stirring.

She did not look directly at Lu Shuangshuang.

She gave her a sense of security.

But her silence made Lu Shuangshuang even more uneasy.

"Sister Ruan Ruan, I..."

She tried to explain, but reason kept her silent.

Lu Shuangshuang was conflicted.

Su Ruan's fingers began to slowly stir the coffee again.

The spoon made a crisp clinking sound against the cup wall, tinkling, tinkling.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear.

Lu Shuangshuang ultimately backed down.

She started sending Lu Yanci messages like crazy.

"Help me! Help me! Help me!"

She didn't know what stage her brother and Su Ruan were at, or whether they had reached a consensus online and offline.

She dared not speak rashly.

If she really messes up her brother and Su Ruan's relationship, she will regret it for the rest of her life!

Now, Lu Shuangshuang only regrets that she was so easily provoked and loved to join in the fun. Now she's getting her comeuppance.

Su Ruan couldn't bear it after all.

He sighed and decided not to ask any further questions for the time being.

Didn't you see that Lu Shuangshuang on the other side had already twisted her face into a bitter gourd shape?

She probably has something she can't say about.

"I think the food at this restaurant is pretty good, and although the prices are a bit high, they're still acceptable."

Lu Shuangshuang finally breathed a sigh of relief when Su Ruan brought up the coffee shop again.

She was really afraid that Su Ruan would keep pressing her for answers.

Lying is definitely not acceptable.

She has never successfully lied to Lu Yanci.

Moreover, even if she gets away with it, it will be troublesome to cover up the lie later, and it will also affect her image in Su Ruan's eyes, which is not good.

Lu Shuangshuang quickly nodded in agreement with Su Ruan's words.

"Yes, does Sister Su Ruan have any other suggestions?"

She quickly changed the subject.

Su Ruan took another sip of coffee.

He began by asking, "How long has this coffee shop been open?"

"It's been five years," Lu Shuangshuang replied immediately.

"This coffee shop used to belong to the Lin family, but it was later given to Lin Zhiyu."

Su Ruan nodded. "That means this coffee shop has a stable customer base."

"Therefore, I do not recommend making major overhauls."

"But the person in charge will definitely have to be replaced."

"Furthermore, it is not suitable to parachute in a person in charge who needs to make a contribution."

Lu Shuangshuang nodded in agreement.

If a person in charge is parachuted in and urgently needs to make a name for himself, he will most likely implement sweeping reforms after arriving.

A store that has been open here for 5 years and has a stable customer flow could easily be ruined by such drastic renovations.

Lu Shuangshuang had previously wanted to renovate the place and change the theme, but now she has given up on that idea.

"As for who should be in charge, you can ask your brother."

Lu Shuangshuang nodded again.

She might disagree with other things, but she was very impressed with her brother's eye for talent.

Speaking of Lu Yanci, Lu Yanci has already arrived.

The first thing he asked Lu Shuangshuang upon arrival was, "Has the property been transferred?"

"The ownership has been transferred."

"Would you dare do that again?"

"I won't do it again!"

Lu Yanci withdrew his gaze and looked at Su Ruan with a gentle smile again.

"Thank you so much for your help today."

"Shuangshuang is being unreasonable, I apologize to you on her behalf."

Su Ruan lightly traced her finger on the corner of her mouth, but did not accept Lu Yanci's apology.

She simply smiled gently and said goodbye to Lu Shuangshuang, "I have something to do tonight, so I'll be leaving now."

Then he stood up.
