Chapter 370: Pitiful, weak, and helpless, but has a cruel heart l
“Okay, no more playing.”
Jiang Xu dusted the snow off An Nuonuo’s head and body.
He then tidied her messy hair.
The girl had seen snow for the first time and was overly excited, playing like a madwoman.
It was almost noon now.
“Huff huff huff-” An Nuonuo, breathing heavily, cheerfully grabbed Jiang Xu’s arm, “Snow is so much fun.”
Jiang Xu stroked her hair, “Since you like it that much, this Saturday and Sunday, let’s go play in Harbin.
There are lots of tasty and fun places there, plus there’s Ice and Snow World.” “Mhm mhm mhm.” An Nuonuo nodded vigorously, “Brother Xu, you’re the best to me.”
Jiang Xu: “Call me husband.”
An Nuonuo, embarrassed, “No-”
She definitely couldn’t bring herself to say it out in public.
Jiang Xu didn’t force her.
Take it slow.
After some more time, he reckoned she might be willing to call him husband on specific occasions.
As for calling him “daddy”… Jiang Xu guessed An Nuonuo would rather die than agree to that.
“Giggle giggle giggle…”
The sound of high heels on the snow rang out.
Jiang Xiaoyan walked over.
With a serious expression, she said to An Nuonuo, “Can I borrow your boyfriend tonight?”
An Nuonuo: “Huh???”
Jiang Xu, speechless, “Clarify, your words are too easily misunderstood.”
The very next second, Jiang Xiaoyan revealed a driver-like grin, “No misunderstanding, it’s exactly what you’re thinking.”
Jiang Xu: “Get lost.”
“Alright, no more jokes.” Jiang Xiaoyan said earnestly, “There’s a matchmaking date tonight, help me get rid of him.”
Jiang Xu asked, “Your mom arranged it?”
He knew Jiang Xiaoyan’s mother had remarried quite some time ago.
“No, it was arranged by my dad before he passed.” Jiang Xiaoyan said helplessly, “The company was having trouble already at that time, and my dad didn’t have enough funds.
So he borrowed ten billion through this marriage engagement.”
Jiang Xu frowned.
Having taken someone’s money, that’s a tricky situation.
And somebody who can casually fork out ten billion is definitely no ordinary person.
Jiang Xu first asked about the other party’s background before making a decision.
Jiang Xiaoyan pursed her lips, “His family is in the seafood business, managing over 10% of global transactions.”
Jiang Xu asked, “The seafood you’re talking about, is it legitimate seafood?”
Selling seafood is one thing, ‘selling seafood’ is something else entirely.
“Pfft, you’re so lewd.” Jiang Xiaoyan said irritably, “Their family’s assets are worth at least three hundred billion to start with!”
Hearing this, Jiang Xu took out his phone and started fiddling with it.
Jiang Xiaoyan asked, “What are you doing?”
Jiang Xu, without looking up, “Picking a good day for you to get married off.” Damn.
His own fortune is just twenty or thirty billion, the other party’s size is ten times his own, what can he even put up against them?
“Get lost, you bastard.”
Jiang Xiaoyan kicked out at him, but Jiang Xu easily dodged.
“Do you have no conscience at all?”
Jiang Xu rolled his eyes, “Fine, I’ll accompany you tonight to check it out.”
“That’s more like it.” Jiang Xiaoyan showed her smile.
After all, she was family, and he couldn’t refuse to help.
Jiang Xu then said, “You should start preparing eleven billion in cash, prepare an extra billion to compensate them as interest.”
“Okay, I got it, I’ll send someone to pick you up tonight.”
Jiang Xiaoyan walked away gleefully.
After that, Jiang Xu took An Nuonuo to the canteen for lunch.
They returned to their private dormitory to rest for a bit.
After finishing the elective class in the afternoon, they went for rehearsals.
The New Year’s gala was taken very seriously by the school this year, and the
budget they provided was much greater than in previous years.
Mainly because today, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo, these two big shots, had joined
in.
They even managed to defeat other schools’ competitors ahead of time and secured the role of Magic City’s promotional ambassador.
This was also a significant event worthy of celebration for the school.
Naturally, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo would be making their appearance as the finale.
I heard that some mystery guests have also been invited.
As for who they are, even Jiang Xu doesn’t know.
In the evening, Jiang Xu and Jiang Xiaoyan arrived at the place where they were supposed to meet.
It was a farmhouse in the suburban area south of Magic City.
The other party had reserved the entire place.
There was even a helicopter parked on the open ground.
Jiang Xu had just seen this model of a helicopter not long ago.
It’s priced at a staggering one billion yuan.
It boasts luxurious configurations.
Just the annual maintenance costs start at twenty million yuan.
He had thought about buying one too.
But the price was too high, so he gave up.
A fierce-looking black dragon was painted on the exterior of this helicopter. From this, one could guess that the owner probably had the personality of a domineering sort.
Jiang Xiaoyan held onto Jiang Xu’s arm, looking pitifully at him, “What if he refuses to let me go, I’m so scared.”
Pitiful, weak, helpless, yet ruthless and vicious at heart.
“Stop pretending,” Jiang Xu tapped her on the head, “With your scheming nature, no matter how formidable the other person is, you wouldn’t be scared. Spill it, what’s your real purpose for calling me here?”
“Hehe, you’re so clever,” Jiang Xiaoyan said with a giggly smile, “Indeed, nothing gets past you.
Here, big brother, let me reward you with a kiss.”
Saying that, she tiptoed, puckered her lips, and leaned in closer.
Jiang Xu pushed her away, “Let’s just go in.”
“Tsk, what a boring man,” Jiang Xiaoyan snorted softly and followed him in.
The entire farmhouse, apart from several bodyguards in black suits and wearing sunglasses, only had a few waiters.
Inside the hall, there sat a man with a noble demeanor and extraordinary presence.
Upon seeing him, Jiang Xu couldn’t help but silently criticize in his mind.
Damn, he’s even handsomer than me.
His physique and looks could be compared to Takeshi Kaneshiro.
He belonged to the type who could make a bunch of girls fall for him wherever he went.
“Hello, Mr. Jiang, your reputation precedes you,” said the man as he saw Jiang Xu, rising to greet him with a smile on his face.
Seeing his warm smile, Jiang Xu realized that his previous judgment might have been wrong.
This man had not a trace of domineering aura about him.
Could it be that the helicopter outside was just for show?
Jiang Xiaoyan smiled as she introduced, “This is one of my good friends, Luo Feiyu.”
Luo Feiyu?
Luo Feiyu (Luofei fish)?
Quite a unique name, Jiang Xu thought to himself.
He was also curious about what Jiang Xiaoyan was up to, given all the secrecy.
And she even lied to An Nuonuo, telling her that inviting Jiang Xu was for a blind date.
The three of them took their seats.
Luo Feiyu clapped his hands, and dishes were served one after another.
No alcohol was ordered, just some drinks.
At the dining table, the three of them laughed and talked.
Jiang Xu did not take the initiative to ask about the purpose of the gathering.
But he did notice that Luo Feiyu was not simple.
He appeared to be in his twenties, yet his manner of speaking and his thoughts weren’t comparable to those of ordinary people.
The meal lasted a little over an hour.
When it was almost over, Jiang Xiaoyan finally sat up straight.
She asked Luo Feiyu, “What do you think of him?”
