"The diamond still has to be returned, but right now, I really need the money."
Gu Xiaonuan could definitely borrow from Li Lu, their family lawyer wouldn't be lacking money.
But Shu Yu's relationship with Si Yuchen is somewhat special now, and anything Shu Yu knows, Si Yuchen will find out soon enough.
As long as Gu Xiaonuan isn't being foolish by intentionally letting Si Yuchen know she's short on money, she wouldn't alert Shu Yu.
"By the way, don't forget the thing I reminded you of, and don't let Lawyer Shu find out that I've pawned the diamond."
Gu Xiaonuan is worried that Li Lu might let something slip without realizing, and sell her out without even knowing it.
Li Lu indeed hadn't been paying attention, but she wouldn't be negligent about an issue involving hundreds of millions.
Even if Li Lu was slow, she could see that Gu Xiaonuan was really in trouble. And with their relationship being so close, Gu Xiaonuan still hadn't told Li Lu exactly what that trouble was.
