The night had fallen, and the lights just started to twinkle.
Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo got out of the car and looked at the villa area in front of them.
This is the most central area of Jiang City.
Those who lived here were either rich or noble, with a baseline fortune of at least five billion.
The cheapest house inside was worth six hundred million.
âHey, the future father-in-law really has a big hand,â Jiang Xu laughed and walked in with An Nuonuo.
The house was number 008.
Once inside, both of them were very satisfied.
There were green plants everywhere, and even a large artificial lake.
The water was clear, and pairs of mandarin ducks played and frolicked on its surface.
They arrived at house number 008.
The layout of this house was quite unique.
In front of each house, there was a stream; the sound of flowing water added a sense of poetry to the place.
People in Yue Province mostly believe that having flowing water in front of their door will lead to riches.
Flowing water represents wealth.
This isnât superstition but rather peopleâs yearning for a better future.
Itâs like how almost all bosses in Yue Province keep a money tree in their companies.
In this region, the most vicious business warfare involves pouring boiling water on a competitorâs money tree, tearing off their coupletsâ¦
âThis place is so beautiful,â An Nuonuoâs eyes twinkled with stars, and she was tightly fond of it.
She was already imagining how gorgeous and cozy it would be after decorating it as their bridal house.
Jiang Xu held the keys and unlocked the door.
The interior was already renovated, without any unpleasant smells.
The decor style was also simple and grand.
Inside, there was a private and secluded swimming pool, and the backyard was so big you could even play golf in it.
What amused and somewhat perplexed Jiang Xu was that the first floor actually had five baby rooms.
All kinds of toys and clothes for children, from ages zero to ten, were already prepared.
Whatâs the meaning of this?
Was the future father-in-law hinting that he expected at least five grandchildren?
An Nuonuo gave a small spit of disdain, thinking her dad was a bit improper. âWhatâs the surprise that the future father-in-law mentioned?â Jiang Xu looked around.
They had already seen the first floor and hadnât found anything.
So the two went upstairs.
Upon entering the first room, they saw a set of documents on the bed.
Jiang Xu picked it up and immediately let out an exclamation, âGood fellow.â
It turned out to be a deed of transfer.
It was An Feng transferring to Jiang Xu his several large private clubs, five bars, and a thirty-nine-story office building in several developed areas of Magic City.
Thatâs right.
Not to An Nuonuo, but to Jiang Xu.
These assets, just from what could be seen, were valued at the billion-dollar level.
Not visible were the networks formed behind those private clubs and bars.
This is an intangible wealth, which sometimes is even more useful than cold hard cash.
âWow, why did dad give so much at once?â An Nuonuo covered her little mouth, clearly shocked.
Although she always wanted her dad to shell out some gold, this time it was too much, leaving her a bit nervous and quickly making a phone call to An Feng.
After speaking for a few minutes, she hung up.
Jiang Xu asked, âWhat did the future father-in-law say?â
An Nuonuo had a complex expression, âDad said your current investments are very costly.
These assets are to be added to those investments as bricks and mortar.â
âAh, itâs great to have family,â Jiang Xu sighed. âNuonuo, rest assured, when I succeed, 1 wonât forget your fatherâs kindness.â
An Feng really had nothing to complain about.
When his son entered society, if he encountered any problems, Jiang Xu would lend a hand. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Of course, the prerequisite was that An Ping wouldnât engage in any criminal activities.
Jiang Xu quickly signed the documents.
What followed was taking these documents to the relevant departments for notarization.
With this asset boost, Jiang Xuâs pressure would be significantly reduced.
Especially those real estate properties, which were appreciating every day.
His assets were changing by the day.
He was now very close to a net worth of sixty billion.
After visiting the villa, An Nuonuo linked arms with Jiang Xu, âBrother Xu, letâs go back to high school and have a look. I wonder what itâs like now.â
Jiang Xu was moved, âSure, Iâd like to see if there have been any big changes.â
The two changed clothes and put on masks and sunglasses, fully disguising themselves.
Without alerting anyone, they arrived at the high school.
It was just the time for school to end, and the students were swarming out.
The school uniform was the same old design with no change.
At the school gate, there were stalls selling all kinds of snacks, as well as small toys and jewelry.
Many girls were squatting in front of the stalls, picking out jewelry.
The boys either went to eat or walked arm in arm to the arcades and internet cafes.
âI really miss the high school days,â Jiang Xu expressed with nostalgia.
Even though he himself had graduated less than a year ago.
Many students walked past them, discussing various school matters.
âThe school has started to install air conditioners in every classroom, we wonât be hot in the summer anymore.â
âThey also built a library, Iâm so happy.â
âHehe, the dorms have been upgraded too, awesome.â
Hearing these words, Jiang Xu was suddenly speechless.
Indeed, no one can escape that law.
As soon as you graduate, all the good stuff gets implemented in the school, but youâre not there to enjoy it.
Jiang Xu asked An Nuonuo if she wanted to go inside and have a look.
An Nuonuo nodded, then shook her head, âBut how do we get in?â
âEasy, watch me,â he said.
Jiang Xu pulled An Nuonuo to the guard room.
He took off his mask, âUncle, do you remember me?â
The guard, nearly sixty, was still robust and sharp-eyed.
After scrutinizing Jiang Xu, he had a moment of deep thought.
Then he slapped the back of his head, as if he suddenly realized, âOh, youâre that Jiang Xu, the major lickspittle!â
Jiang Xuâs face darkened.
Even after heâd graduated, his âlegendâ still circulated in the school.
An Nuonuo was desperately holding back her laughter beside him.
Jiang Xu handed over a pack of cigarettes and said, âUncle, I want to take my girlfriend inside to have a look and pay a visit to my teachers. Is that okay with you?â
âGo ahead, go ahead,â the guard said generously with a wave of his hand.
After thanking him, Jiang Xu led An Nuonuo inside.
The other, new guard couldnât help but ask curiously, âWhoâs that? There wonât be any trouble letting him in, will there?â
âDonât worry, that young man is a good person. Let me tell you, he used to lick boots so wellâ¦â
Not far away, Jiang Xu staggered, nearly falling to the ground.
It was too much, way over the line.
If it were not for fear of losing face, he would have given that guard a piece of his mind.
It wasnât that he was a lickspittle, he was genuinely affectionate, okay?
An Nuonuo finally couldnât hold back and burst into laughter.
Jiang Xu pretended to glare at her âfiercelyâ, âKeep laughing, see if I donât drag you to the back hill and give youâ¦.,â
