Chapter 4 - 4 Boss, you wouldn’t want your daughter to fall in love early, would you?
Chapter 4: Boss, you wouldn\'t want your daughter to fall in love early, would you?
The door was pushed open.
The sound abruptly ceased.
An Feng and Li Yuanjuan were both stunned.
Jiang Xu\'s gaze swiftly swept over the two of them.
He paid particular attention to An Feng.
A middle-aged man, not overweight, with an average build and appearance.
This didn\'t seem like a person who had \'system\'?
He inwardly complained.
Externally, Jiang Xu greeted with a smile, "Good evening, Uncle, and Auntie, I am Jiang Xu, Nuonuo\'s classmate.
She was helping me with some problems today and it delayed her, so I escorted her home.
Also, I happened to notice there was a lot of firewood in the yard, so I helped chop some."
Jiang Xu presented himself in an articulate and sunny manner.
Immediately, An Nuonuo\'s parents took a liking to him.
Seeing this, An Nuonuo slightly exhaled.
Thankfully, her parents didn\'t think too much about it.
It was getting late.
Jiang Xu didn\'t stay long.
As An Nuonuo saw Jiang Xu out, her face was red, she whispered, "Be careful on your way home."
The little girl\'s face was as red as an apple, radiating an attractive glow.
Ah, he really wished he could hold her in his arms right now.
He had really been blind before.
An Nuonuo was so much better than Zhou Qingyue.
"Ok, I will. See you later."
He wanted to tease her a bit more but decided against it.
No need to rush things with the shy little girl.
There would be plenty of time later.
Jiang Xu rode his bicycle away.
Instead of going straight home, he went to the store where he had bought a phone earlier.
He wanted to return that phone.
He arrived at the store.
Jiang Xu approached the counter and said, "Boss, do you remember me?"
The middle-aged, bald store owner grinned, "Of course I remember."
Jiang Xu took out the unopened mobile phone from his backpack.
He placed it on the counter, "I don\'t want this phone anymore. Could you please process my return?"
The store owner\'s smile vanished immediately.
He said flatly, "We don\'t accept returns unless there is a problem with the quality of the product."
That was the policy of the physical store.
Jiang Xu had come prepared with a plan.
But as he was about to put his plan into action, he spotted a girl who was dressed in No.1 High School\'s uniform walking inside.
She yelled "dad" at the store owner and ran inside the house.
Jiang Xu hatched a new plan.
"Boss, is that your daughter? She\'s also from the No.1 High School."
"Correct." The boss seemed proud, "My daughter has excellent grades in school."
Jiang Xu chuckled, "Then could you please accept my phone return, Boss.
I mean, you don\'t want your daughter to start dating too early, do you?"
The moment the boss heard this, he became enraged.
He glared at Jiang Xu and growled, "Kid, dare to lay a hand on my daughter, and I will kill you!"
Jiang Xu showed no fear.
His face was still full of smiles, "Boss, don\'t be so angry.
I just came here to return a phone, if you accept my return, then there won\'t be any problems.
Otherwise, with my looks, physique, it would be easy for me to win over your daughter, right?
Oh, one more thing, I am the top-ranked student in my grade.
With this title, it will be quite easy for me to get close to your daughter."
The boss was shocked, his anger immediately dissolved.
The next second, a bright smile emerged on his face: "Hahaha, I was just joking earlier.
I will return it for you right away."
Jiang Xu found himself in possession of 2800 yuan.
He was surprised, "Boss, you made a mistake. I bought the mobile for 2600 yuan."
"No mistake, and the extra 200 yuan, they\'re for purchasing educational materials. I only have one request..."
Jiang Xu waved his hand: "Don\'t worry boss, I won\'t do anything to your daughter, goodbye."
Having said this, he left.
As soon as Jiang Xu left, the boss\' daughter came out from the house.
Watching Jiang Xu\'s retreating figure, her gaze fluctuated.
With 2800 yuan in his hand, Jiang Xu wondered what to do with the money.
Start a business?
He shook his head.
Who in their right mind would start a business?
His future father-in-law would be the richest man in the country.
Which rounds up to him being the richest man in the country, right?
It was unnecessary, completely unnecessary.
Unable to think of a use for the money, Jiang Xu decided to put it aside for now.
Upon returning home...
Sure enough, his parents weren\'t there.
Jiang Xu\'s parents ran a seafood street food stall.
Thanks to their culinary skills, quality ingredients, and reasonable prices, their business was booming.
They often stayed open until two or three in the morning.
On average, they made a clear profit of 80,000 to 90,000 yuan each month.
During the high season, they could even double that amount.
As a result, Jiang Xu had had a rather comfortable life since childhood.
The only downside was the lack of adults at home, meaning he had to cook most of his meals.
After washing his hands, he cooked a bowl of noodles for himself.
...
At Zhou Qingyue\'s house...
She had just taken a shower, and while wearing a bear-themed set of pajamas, her hair was still wet.
She was indeed very pretty.
At just a sophomore, she was already around 1.6 meters tall.
She had a pair of large KAZILAN eyes.
Her figure was also well developed.
Her look was youthful, but with a touch of allure.
She was lying in bed, picked up her mobile phone, and checked her QQ.
There was no sign of Jiang Xu\'s plea for reconciliation.
Usually, every time Jiang Xu upset her, he would be the first to apologize.
But this time, several hours had passed, and no message was sent.
Zhou Qingyue snorted coldly, "Such a child, playing games of provocation and retreat.
Let\'s see how long you can hold out!"
Zhou Qingyue fumed, tossing her old mobile phone aside.
It never crossed her mind that Jiang Xu might have given up on her.
After all, Jiang Xu had always been so devoted, so groveling.
He gave off the feeling that he couldn\'t go on living without Zhou Qingyue.
And it\'s precisely because of this that Zhou Qingyue never took Jiang Xu to heart.
She casually tossed him aside.
The next day...
Jiang Xu woke up at six in the morning.
After freshening up, he spent half an hour studying.
Having just been reincarnated, he had basically forgotten all his high school knowledge.
Picking it back up required quite a bit of effort.
How laughable it was...
In his previous life, Jiang Xu had lowered his scores in the college entrance exam to join Zhou Qingyue at the same university.
With his capabilities, he could have ended up in one of the top three universities in the country.
But for Zhou Qingyue\'s sake, he ended up attending a mediocre specialized college instead.
Thinking back, he was such a fool.
At six-thirty...
Jiang Xu packed up his books and headed out.
He moved quietly.
His parents were still sleeping.
Passing by a breakfast stall...
Jiang Xu stopped to buy two breakfast sets.
When he arrived in his class, only about a tenth of the students were there.
At a glance, Jiang Xu spotted An Nuonuo in a corner.
He was thrilled and walked towards her.
Zhou Qingyue had also arrived, and she was in a bad mood.
Every morning before, Jiang Xu would text her to say good morning.
But he didn\'t send a message this morning.
What audacity he had!
Seeing the breakfast in Jiang Xu\'s hands, Zhou Qingyue snorted, "Don\'t think buying me breakfast is going to make me forgive you!"
