Chapter 115: - She Has Arrived, Bringing the Check With Her
After a while, Jiang Xu drove An Nuonuo home.
He asked curiously, "What did my mother say to you just now, she seemed rather secretive?"
A smirk lifted the corner of An Nuonuo\'s lips, "Your mom said, from now on you have to call me sister."
Jiang Xu, "Hmm... On some specific occasions, not to mention calling you sister, even if I were to call you mom, it would be fine."
An Nuonuo, "Huh?"
Jiang Xu coughed and didn\'t explain further.
After sending her home, Jiang Xu wrote a few novel outlines and sent them to Lin Nan.
For a company with only four people, the current workload was quite heavy.
However, it\'s always good for young people to exercise more.
Anyway, I wasn\'t the one doing it.
Time quickly arrived at Saturday.
Jiang Xu set off twenty minutes ahead of time.
On the way, he spent over 300 yuan to buy a recorder.
He arrived at the place agreed upon with Zhang Xiaohui.
Shockingly, she was already there.
She was wearing sunglasses that covered half of her face, and her hair was covering her face.
If one didn\'t look carefully, they wouldn\'t recognize her.
"Hello, Sister Zhang." Jiang Xu greeted with a grinning smile.
Zhang Xiaohui responded with a cheery smile, "You know what to say later, right?"
"Of course." Jiang Xu shrugged, "But Sister Zhang, did you bring the check?"
Zhang Xiaohui pulled out a one-million yuan check from her bag.
Jiang Xu had dealt with them before, and naturally knew they were real.
Moreover, forging such things is a serious crime.
She probably wouldn\'t dare to take the risk.
Jiang Xu reached out to take it, but Zhang Xiaohui dodged him.
Jiang Xu chuckled, "Giving it to me first would achieve the same."
Zhang Xiaohui stared at Jiang Xu.
Her gaze had a strong penetrating power that made people feel intimidated.
"Lad, don\'t you dare pull any other tricks once I give you the money.
Otherwise, I have methods to deal with you." she threatened.
Most people couldn\'t stand her intimidating gaze.
Jiang Xu shrugged, casually saying, "Anyway, your demand is for me to invite An Nuonuo.
And then cut her off completely. As long as I fulfill that, it\'s fine, right?"
Zhang Xiaohui nodded.
Jiang Xu, "Then you can rest assured, I will definitely complete the task. I\'m just afraid that you\'ll deny it later."
Zhang Xiaohui chuckled, "A mere one million isn\'t worth me losing my reputation."
Damn, she\'s showing off.
Jiang Xu thought to himself, one of these days, I have to show off too.
Not robbing her a bit more, I would feel unfulfilled.
So, he said, "Then can you cover for the food later?"
Zhang Xiaohui\'s impression of Jiang Xu dropped a notch.
Originally she had a high evaluation of Jiang Xu.
Now she thought he was a man who only cared about immediate benefits.
He liked to take advantage of small situations, and lacked any sense of righteousness.
However, Zhang Xiaohui still nodded in agreement.
This little money meant nothing to her.
Afterward, Jiang Xu found a place to sit down.
Zhang Xiaohui sat with her back to him.
About ten minutes later, An Nuonuo arrived.
As soon as she walked in, she attracted the attention of everyone in the restaurant.
Those who met her for the first time had a feeling like a ray of light suddenly appeared in darkness.
Her lively and refreshing vibe would be charming to people of any age or gender.
An Nuonuo glanced at Zhang Xiaohui, then sat across from Jiang Xu.
She asked in a moderate voice, "Why the sudden invite here?"
Jiang Xu said, "Let\'s order some food first. Whatever you like?"
Then he moved his mouth silently, mouthing something.
An Nuonuo understood.
Jiang Xu was saying: She! Is! Paying!
An Nuonuo blinked her eyes, sending a signal: You\'re so bad.
Then, he picked up the menu and started to order.
This shop sold high-end cakes and coffee.
An Nuonuo ordered a cake for ninety-eight yuan, plus two cups of sweetened coffee.
Jiang Xu shook his head.
The girl was still too soft-hearted.
Jiang Xu took the bill, looking at the waiter, "How many of your most expensive jade rabbit cakes do you have?"
The price listed on the bill was four hundred eighty-eight per piece.
Waiter: "This one is limited, we have five left."
Jiang Xu: "I\'ll take all of them, we\'ll eat one here and take the rest to go.
How many of the three hundred eighty-eight yuan ones do you have?"
Waiter: "This one is unlimited."
Jiang Xu: "Alright, give me twenty to go.
Then, for the fifty-eight yuan coffee, pack thirty for me."
The waiter was somewhat surprised.
Adding all of these together would cost over fourteen thousand. Could they really eat all that?
But he didn\'t ask further, ensuring that Jiang Xu really wanted to order that much, he went on his way.
An Nuonuo asked, "How much is this going to cost? Why are you buying so much?"
Jiang Xu gave a chuckle, "Don\'t worry about it, I have my reasons."
Zhang Xiaohui took her ease on the side, sipping her unsweetened bitter coffee.
She didn\'t really care.
It was a small sum to her.
The cake came pretty quickly.
It wasn\'t big, but it was exquisite.
"Here, try it. See if it\'s good."
Jiang Xu cut off a piece for An Nuonuo.
"Mmm, it\'s delicious~"
An Nuonuo\'s eyes lit up immediately.
When she smiled, her eyes resembled a crescent moon, extremely cute.
Most girls showed such an expression when they got to eat sweets.
Jiang Xu took a bite too, and it was fantastic.
Perhaps because he didn\'t have to spend his own money.
The other cheaper one tasted good too.
After they finished the two cakes and the coffee.
Jiang Xu wiped his mouth, addressing An Nuonuo, "Nuonuo, there\'s something I need to discuss with you.
From now on, let\'s not talk to each other anymore. I\'ve taken a liking to another girl, and I\'m afraid she might get the wrong idea."
"What did you say?" An Nuonuo\'s voice was trembling.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
Jiang Xu\'s heart shuddered at the sight.
He couldn\'t help but marvel internally.
Her acting was too good.
"So...you\'re saying...you want to...cut ties with me?"
Jiang Xu barely dared to meet An Nuonuo\'s eyes.
There was a feeling of guilt, as though he had committed a heinous act against her.
Jiang Xu responded in a stern tone, "Right, beginning now, let\'s cut ties. We won\'t talk to each other anymore."
"Drip, Drip."
Big teardrops kept falling onto the table.
An Nuonuo stood up: "I understand, goodbye."
She left with her face covered.
Jiang Xu took a sip of his coffee, his gaze moving to Zhang Xiaohui: "Give me the check, and then you can go pay."
Zhang Xiaohui was very pleased with Jiang Xu\'s performance just now.
She had been carefully listening all along.
In An Nuonuo\'s voice, there was indeed a profound sadness.
As for Zhang Xiaohui, who had a wealth of experience reading people, she could naturally discern the truth from pretense.
She took out the check again from her bag and handed it to Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu accepted it, making a gesture for her to proceed.
Zhang Xiaohui went to the front desk to pay and then left.
Without casting another look at Jiang Xu.
Great, one million yuan was just delivered into his hands just like that.
A part of him wanted to say \'let\'s do this again sometime\'...
Jiang Xu walked over to the front desk.
With the packed coffee in hand, he told the staff, "Call your manager out for a moment."
