Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo turned to the source of the sound.
They saw Zhang Xiaohui, pregnant with a bulging belly, coming towards them with a female bodyguard’s support.
An Nuonuo’s petite body gave a tiny shudder.
Jiang Xu unconsciously stepped in front of An Nuonuo, his eyebrows furrowing.
What did this woman want by showing up at this time?
“Little lad, don’t be so standoffish towards me,” Zhang Xiaohui said, laughing.
Not to mention anything else.
After her pregnancy, Zhang Xiaohui’s aura had risen a level.
The wife buff was stacked to the max.
An Nuonuo pursed her lips and kept silent.
Certainly, she held resentment for this woman who had ruined her family. “Mr. Zhang, what brings you here from afar?” Jiang Xu asked, tone indifferent. “I was just in the neighborhood doing some stuff so I thought I’d stop by,” Zhang Xiaohui as she sized up Jiang Xu, “Congratulations to you for becoming a billionaire, it’s truly impressive.”
Then she turned to An Nuonuo: “And congratulations to you too, Nuonuo. For someone so young to be a multi-millionaire already.”
A chill flashed in Jiang Xu’s eyes.
This woman seemed to be fully aware of his and An Nuonuo’s movements.
He didn’t believe that she was here simply because she happened to be nearby.
Did she want to convey that no matter how they struggled, they were still under her control?
Jiang Xu stayed silent.
He didn’t want to provoke this woman.
His entrance exam was imminent, and he didn’t want any unexpected disruptions.
After the exams, he would have more time and a wider arena to stretch his wings.
And broaden his abilities.
“Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t come here with bad intentions,” Zhang Xiaohui’s smile was gentle, “One reason was I was passing by, and secondly, as an elder, I wanted to give Nuonuo a belated New Year’s gift.”
With that said, the female bodyguard presented a check, handing it to An Nuonuo with both hands.
Zhang Xiaohui looked at An Nuonuo and said, “One million, not much. Take it.” “Okay, thank you, Auntie.”
Without another word, An Nuonuo accepted it.
Zhang Xiaohui’s expression instantly became incredibly interesting.
Her eyes bulged in disbelief that An Nuonuo had accepted it just like that.
Indeed, she had come with ulterior motives.
Recent information she’d gathered about An Nuonuo and Jiang Xu had triggered a strong sense of alarm in her.
The growth rate of these two youngsters was simply too fast.
Especially Jiang Xu.
If she was a bit careless, he would achieve such success.
She wanted to suppress him, but there was no way.
The industries involved by Jiang Xu were unfamiliar to her.
As for Jiang Xu as an individual.
He wasn’t lustful, had thick skin, and was utterly shameless, leaving no room to take advantage.
Therefore, she set her sights on An Nuonuo.
Zhang Xiaohui initially thought that An Nuonuo, facing this woman who had destroyed her family.
Would be angry and feel humiliated when she offered her money, right?
This way, An Nuonuo’s emotions would definitely be affected at this critical time.
Then, with a bit of manipulation from Zhang Xiaohui, An Nuonuo’s entrance exam results couldn’t be that good.
Her intention was to, through An Nuonuo, contain and drag down Jiang Xu.
This way, she wouldn’t need to worry about the threat of Jiang Xu’s future growth to herself.
However, the plot’s development was completely contrary to Zhang Xiaohui’s expectations.
Jiang Xu had watched her expression and guessed her purpose in coming.
However, Zhang Xiaohui’s calculations were completely wrong.
An Nuonuo had long been trained by Jiang Xu.
The principle between the two of them now was, as long as it’s legal money, they wouldn’t refuse it no matter who gave it.
Those who don’t take the money given are fools.
Zhang Xiaohui quickly regained her composure, studying An Nuonuo closely.
She found An Nuonuo’s look of joy didn’t seem feigned.
Suddenly, she felt as if she had eaten a few flies. It was a gross feeling.
A million wasn’t much for her.
But giving it up to the enemy for no reason, that really pissed her off.
At this moment, Jiang Xu added insult to injury, “Auntie Zhang, as the saying goes, everyone present should have a share, shouldn’t you give me one too?” Zhang Xiaohui glanced at her wrist, “It’s late. I need to get going. We can chat next time.”
Having said that, she turned and left without any hesitation.
Jiang Xu shook his head.
She didn’t even wear a watch. This acting was too poor.
“Let’s go, let’s go home.” Jiang Xu casually hooked his arm around An Nuonuo’s neck, “You’re treating me to dinner next Sunday. I want a big meal.”
“Mmm, mmm, mmm.” An Nuonuo nodded enthusiastically, her face brimming with a sweet smile, “She’s so silly.”
Jiang Xu: “If she wasn’t silly, how would you make money?”
An Nuonuo: “That makes sense, but can you let go? It’s a little uncomfortable.”
Jiang Xu: “Oh, right, the burden on you is already heavier than others.”
An Nuonuo: “Not really, aren’t you carrying the backpack?”
Jiang Xu: “I wasn’t talking about the backpack.”
An Nuonuo paused for a moment, then quickly understood.
Her face turned red as she pinched Jiang Xu hard.
“No, I don’t want to transfer, you guys are worthless, I was bullied to this extent and you’re not helping me get revenge!”
At the home of Zhou Liu.
Zhou Shuyi lost control of her emotions, her face flushed bright red.
She didn’t get home until that night.
After being hit by Jiang Xu the day before, she didn’t dare to return home, for fear of humiliation.
When the swelling on her face subsided and she returned home, she received this shocking news.
This was unacceptable for her.
Zhou Liu, feeling a headache coming on, said, “We don’t want this either, but who let you provoke someone we can’t?”
Zhou Liu was initially fuming.
But seeing his daughter like this, he held back his words.
“You guys are so useless, total losers.” Zhou Shuyi was completely spoiled rotten.
She cursed at her parents without any regard for their feelings.
“Since you won’t take revenge for me, I’ll just hire someone myself. I have to ruin that pair of dogs.”
Having said that, she stormed out.
She knew plenty of ‘big brothers’ in the underworld after all.
“Stop, you’re not allowed to leave!” Zhou Liu roared, “Hurry up and pack your stuff, we’re moving tomorrow!”
They couldn’t stay here any longer, they had to move to another city.
Zhou Shuyi didn’t listen at all, she just quickened her pace.
Zhou Liu took a deep breath.
In a fit of anger, he picked up the broom lying behind the door, targeted Zhou Shuyi’s legs, and hit her hard.
With just a few blows, Zhou Shuyi collapsed on the floor in pain.
She looked at Zhou Liu with a face full of fear.
Zhou Liu said coldly, “We’ve spoiled you too much, if you don’t change, you might spend your next life in a wheelchair, locked up at home.”
After Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo returned home, took a bath, and did the laundry, they engaged in a little recreational activity to relax.
Playing the flute.
The flutes were bought on the way home, two for ten yuan.
Originally, they planned on playing another instrument, but they changed to flutes to avoid readers misunderstanding.
They had learned it in music class and both Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo played quite well.
They played a piece called “Plain Face”.
Though not very professional, it still sounded pleasant.
Playing occasionally could help relax their tense minds.
After a song, they looked at each other.
A hint of affection spread between them.
Jiang Xu exclaimed, “Indeed, it’s a meeting of minds just like the story of High Mountain and Running River..”
