When Yuan Shu returned home, she saw Shi Bin and Shi Lu sitting on opposite sides of the sofa. They ignored each other, like two stone lions guarding the door of a monastery.
"What are you two doing? Are you pretending to be stone lions to welcome me?" Yuan Shu was amused. After she changed her shoes, she sat on the chaise longue beside them.
Shi Bin looked at Yuan Shu with a mixed expression. Without saying anything, he turned around and went upstairs.
Seeing this, Shi Lu also wanted to leave, but he was suddenly stopped by Yuan Shu. "Shi Lu, don't leave yet. I have something to ask you."
Shi Lu stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Yuan Shu as he said calmly, "I don't think I have any information you need."
"No, you do." Yuan Shu said firmly, "I think you know who the Shi family is on good terms with in the upper-class circle, who they are at odds with, and which families are comparable to us, right?"
