Chapter 726: 563 Relieve Worries Loan (Seeking Monthly Pass!)
Spring and Autumn Plaza.
Rooftop garden.
"Here."
Jiang Chen pulled out a Swarovski bracelet, brought back from Korea, to be more accurate, it once belonged to the assets of the Zhumu Society.
The Zhumu Society dabbled in a variety of industries, including the resale of jewelry, which was one of them.
Li Shuru didn’t say thanks, but silently lifted up her wrist, fair as jade.
Jiang Chen, always understanding, took the initiative to put it on for her, lifting her hand and admiring it in the gentle moonlight, "It’s beautiful."
Girls need to be pampered.
Perhaps their relationship now didn’t require a gift to maintain, but what girls care about is the feeling of being cherished.
Sure enough, even someone as cold and proud as Li Shuru couldn’t escape conventionality. Gazing at the refined and transparent bracelet, a sweet smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
"Why did you only bring it out now?"
"If I’d brought it out earlier, your dear sister would have gone on and on again," Jiang Chen remarked.
Li Shuru replied with a half-smile, "Jin Jin doesn’t act like this with other people."
Jiang Chen looked at her, caught between laughter and tears, "You don’t think she... I don’t mind, but isn’t it a bit wrong to accuse your good sister like this?"
"I’m just telling it as it is."
Li Shuru lowered her gaze to admire the bracelet, and said, "Think about it, even with Luo Peng, she doesn’t seem to target him like that, does she?"
Jiang Chen had nothing to say and shook his head, shifting the subject cautiously, "Has Guo Ran run into some trouble recently?"
"Why do you ask?"
Li Shuru looked up.
Jiang Chen hesitated, "Just now, when I went to the restroom during dinner, she found me and asked to borrow money."
"Borrow money?"
Li Shuru’s eyes showed surprise.
"You didn’t know?"
Li Shuru shook her head.
"I thought she came to me because you asked her to."
"How could that be. If I had known, I would’ve come to talk to you myself."
No longer admiring the bracelet, Li Shuru put down her hand, "How much did she want to borrow from you?"
"Five hundred thousand."
"Five hundred thousand?"
"You really didn’t know at all?" Jiang Chen confirmed.
Five hundred thousand wasn’t exactly a trifling amount for him now but was certainly insubstantial. However, for a college student, it was no small sum.
Moreover, Guo Ran wasn’t the kind of girl who spent money recklessly. Among the four roommates in the dormitory, she was probably the most frugal. Suddenly wanting to borrow so much money was clearly abnormal.
This was also why Jiang Chen didn’t lend her the money right away.
He had never fancied himself a saint who would deliver all beings, but since Guo Ran was not only his junior but also Li Shuru’s roommate, both emotionally and rationally, he couldn’t just ignore her plight.
"All I know is, it seems that her boyfriend’s investment ran into some trouble, and she also asked me not to tell Jin Jin and the others," Li Shuru said with a frown.
It was true they were roommates.
But Li Shuru never interfered with other people’s relationships, so she didn’t inquire further at that time.
"She has a boyfriend?"
Jiang Chen was surprised.
"Yeah, she met him during dance club activities. He’s an uncle or maybe an aunt of one of our students. Didn’t I tell you?"
"Did you? Maybe I’ve forgotten."
Jiang Chen guessed, "This means that her borrowing money could be because of her boyfriend."
Li Shuru frowned further.
"What does her boyfriend’s investment failure have to do with her?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
"How is it not related? They are a couple, in the same boat; isn’t it natural to help each other?"
"But..."
Li Shuru hesitated, then stopped herself, "No, I need to give her a call."
Jiang Chen stopped her, "Alright, she’s probably in the dorm right now; do you really want to make Zheng Jingjing and the others aware of this?"
Li Shuru paused.
Indeed.
It was definitely not something to brag about.
"Five hundred thousand is not a small amount. Why doesn’t her boyfriend find a solution himself, instead of having Guo Ran..."
"Maybe it was Guo Ran’s own decision? Maybe she really likes her boyfriend," Jiang Chen analyzed objectively.
Li Shuru looked at him.
"What if she encounters a scammer?"
Jiang Chen was taken aback, then gave a wry smile, "That’s unlikely, isn’t it? There aren’t that many scammers around, and Guo Ran is not a child; she should be capable of discernment."
"Women in love are always blind," Li Shuru interjected.
Jiang Chen laughed.
"Can’t you think a little better of our male counterparts?"
"I just don’t want Guo Ran to get hurt."
"I know."
Jiang Chen said, "Well, us guessing here isn’t helpful. Let’s find a time to meet with Guo Ran and talk to her properly. If she really needs help, you guys are friends. Help within your means if you can."
Li Shuru nodded and leaned slowly against his shoulder.
The two of them admired the moon together, casting a snuggled silhouette in the garden.

"Senior Jiang."
Across from the East University.
Coffee shop.
Guo Ran approached nervously, clutching her hands.
"Sit down."
Jiang Chen smiled calmly, "What would you like to drink?"
"Cappuccino, please."
Guo Ran took a seat opposite him, restrained.
"One cappuccino, please. Thank you."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The waiter left.
Jiang Chen took out a bank card, placed it on the table under Guo Ran’s gaze, and pushed it toward her.
"There is five hundred thousand in here, and the password is on the back."
Guo Ran looked up, a mix of nervousness, astonishment, and gratitude overwhelming her.
"Shu Rui mentioned, did your boyfriend have some difficulties with his business?" Jiang Chen said gently.
Li Shuru didn’t come precisely to save Guo Ran’s face.
