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 bodyguardâs support.
An Nuonuoâs 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?
âLittle lad, donât be so standoffish towards me,â Zhang Xiaohui said, laughing.
Not to mention anything else.
After her pregnancy, Zhang Xiaohuiâs 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. âMr. Zhang, what brings you here from afar?â Jiang Xu asked, tone indifferent. âI was just in the neighborhood doing some stuff so I thought Iâd stop by,â Zhang Xiaohui as she sized up Jiang Xu, âCongratulations to you for becoming a billionaire, itâs truly impressive.â
Then she turned to An Nuonuo: âAnd congratulations to you too, Nuonuo. For someone so young to be a multi-millionaire already.â
A chill flashed in Jiang Xuâs eyes.
This woman seemed to be fully aware of his and An Nuonuoâs movements.
He didnât 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 didnât want to provoke this woman.
His entrance exam was imminent, and he didnât want any unexpected disruptions.
After the exams, he would have more time and a wider arena to stretch his wings.
And broaden his abilities.
âDonât get me wrong, I didnât come here with bad intentions,â Zhang Xiaohuiâs smile was gentle, âOne reason was I was passing by, and secondly, as an elder, I wanted to give Nuonuo a belated New Yearâs gift.â
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, âOne million, not much. Take it.â âOkay, thank you, Auntie.â
Without another word, An Nuonuo accepted it.
Zhang Xiaohuiâs 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 sheâd 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 wasnât 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 Nuonuoâs emotions would definitely be affected at this critical time.
Then, with a bit of manipulation from Zhang Xiaohui, An Nuonuoâs entrance exam results couldnât be that good.
Her intention was to, through An Nuonuo, contain and drag down Jiang Xu.
This way, she wouldnât need to worry about the threat of Jiang Xuâs future growth to herself.
However, the plotâs development was completely contrary to Zhang Xiaohuiâs expectations.
Jiang Xu had watched her expression and guessed her purpose in coming.
However, Zhang Xiaohuiâs 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 itâs legal money, they wouldnât refuse it no matter who gave it.
Those who donât take the money given are fools.
Zhang Xiaohui quickly regained her composure, studying An Nuonuo closely.
She found An Nuonuoâs look of joy didnât seem feigned.
Suddenly, she felt as if she had eaten a few flies. It was a gross feeling.
A million wasnât 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, âAuntie Zhang, as the saying goes, everyone present should have a share, shouldnât you give me one too?â Zhang Xiaohui glanced at her wrist, âItâs late. I need to get going. We can chat next time.â
Having said that, she turned and left without any hesitation.
Jiang Xu shook his head.
She didnât even wear a watch. This acting was too poor.
âLetâs go, letâs go home.â Jiang Xu casually hooked his arm around An Nuonuoâs neck, âYouâre treating me to dinner next Sunday. I want a big meal.â
âMmm, mmm, mmm.â An Nuonuo nodded enthusiastically, her face brimming with a sweet smile, âSheâs so silly.â
Jiang Xu: âIf she wasnât silly, how would you make money?â
An Nuonuo: âThat makes sense, but can you let go? Itâs a little uncomfortable.â
Jiang Xu: âOh, right, the burden on you is already heavier than others.â
An Nuonuo: âNot really, arenât you carrying the backpack?â
Jiang Xu: âI wasnât talking about the backpack.â
An Nuonuo paused for a moment, then quickly understood.
Her face turned red as she pinched Jiang Xu hard.
âNo, I donât want to transfer, you guys are worthless, I was bullied to this extent and youâre not helping me get revenge!â
At the home of Zhou Liu.
Zhou Shuyi lost control of her emotions, her face flushed bright red.
She didnât get home until that night.
After being hit by Jiang Xu the day before, she didnât 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, âWe donât want this either, but who let you provoke someone we canât?â
Zhou Liu was initially fuming.
But seeing his daughter like this, he held back his words.
âYou guys are so useless, total losers.â Zhou Shuyi was completely spoiled rotten.
She cursed at her parents without any regard for their feelings.
âSince you wonât take revenge for me, Iâll just hire someone myself. I have to ruin that pair of dogs.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Having said that, she stormed out.
She knew plenty of âbig brothersâ in the underworld after all.
âStop, youâre not allowed to leave!â Zhou Liu roared, âHurry up and pack your stuff, weâre moving tomorrow!â
They couldnât stay here any longer, they had to move to another city.
Zhou Shuyi didnât 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 Shuyiâs 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, âWeâve spoiled you too much, if you donât change, you might spend your next life in a wheelchair, locked up at home.â
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 âPlain Faceâ.
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, âIndeed, itâs a meeting of minds just like the story of High Mountain and Running River..â
