Not far away, a girl in a green dress walked slowly towards them.
She was about 1.7 meters tall and wore white sandals.
Her eyes sparkled like the stars, her skin was as smooth as coagulated cream, and her dense black hair was simply tied with a hairband.
Her features were delicate, and her figure was impressive.
At any university, she could have been the school beauty.
Jiang Xu glanced over as well.
And immediately, a look of surprise crossed his face.
This girl looked somewhat familiar.
But he apparently did not know her.
Was it an illusion?
The girl was heading this way.
Suddenly, Wu Mengmeng and the others felt as if a cool breeze had blown over them on a hot summer day.
Refreshing and pleasant.
âBrother Xu, long time no see.â
The girl actually greeted Jiang Xu.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Wu Mengmeng and Xia Xiaozhan immediately sent gossipy glances his way.
What the hell?!
How did Jiang Xu manage to provoke such a beautiful girl, a school beauty no less?
An Nuonuo also looked at the girl with curiosity.
She felt the girl looked somewhat familiar.
At first, Jiang Xu was just a bit puzzled.
But upon hearing her voice, he suddenly realized, âAre you Zhou Mengmeng?â
âYes, Brother Xu, itâs been a long time,â Zhou Mengmeng said with a mix of joy and shyness.
She looked the very image of a girl with a springtime crush.
Wu Mengmeng and Xia Xiaozhan immediately became anxious on behalf of An Nuonuo.
Something about this sister seemed off.
Jiang Xu explained to An Nuonuo, âHer name is Zhou Mengmeng, Zhou Qingyueâs cousin. Back in high schoolâcough cough, I saw her a few times.â
He didnât want to admit that back when he was still fawning over Zhou Qingyue in high school, he had seen this Zhou Mengmeng a few times.
But at that time, Zhou Mengmeng was just a twelve or thirteen-year-old kid.
And her skin was dark, making her completely unrecognizable compared to now.
After his reincarnation, since he no longer doted on Zhou Qingyue, Jiang Xu hadnât seen Zhou Mengmeng again.
In his previous life, he seemed to remember hearing she had gone to study in the Capital city and later married a wealthy foreign tycoon.
This life had changed, possibly influenced by Zhou Qingyue?
âOh, sheâs Zhouâs cousin,â An Nuonuo said as she realized, then smiled at Zhou Mengmeng, âHello.â
âSister Nuonuo, youâre so beautiful,â Zhou Mengmeng said with a touch of shyness.
âMengmeng, youâre beautiful too.â
âUm, I have something else to do, so Iâll be going first.â
After exchanging a few words, Zhou Mengmeng chose to leave.
But she didnât wander off far, instead, she hid behind a tree, watching the few people.
Her gaze was especially fixed on Jiang Xu.
âMengmeng,â a girl with freckles on her face came running over, âwhere did you go just now? Iâve been looking for you for ages.â
Zhou Mengmeng shifted her gaze and smiled sweetly, âI just saw Brother Xu and went to greet him.â
âWow,â the girl with freckles exclaimed, âdo you really know him?â
âMmhmm,â Zhou Mengmeng nodded, âI saw him a few times when I was little. Heâs good friends with my sister, and his wife is also very beautiful.â
The girl with freckles pouted, âAn Nuonuo? Sheâs not as pretty as you are.â
She was Zhou Mengmengâs loyal sidekick.
And believed none could compare in terms of looks.
âNot at all,â Zhou Mengmeng chuckled, âSister Nuonuo is the prettiest. I canât compare with her.â
âHow could that be?â the girl with freckles disagreed, âI admit An Nuonuo is indeed very pretty, but you are young.â
âYouâre only eighteen, the age of a blooming flower.â
âItâs been said, right, that whether a man is 18 or 98 years old, they always like 18-year-old girls.â
âI think that only someone like you is worthy of a man like Jiang Xu.â
âAnd, when comparing a brand-new car to one thatâs been driven for several years, even an idiot knows which one to choose.â
Zhou Mengmengâs mouth corners lifted subtly, but she chastised, âYou canât talk like that anymore; itâs not good if someone hears.â
The freckled girl didnât take it seriously, but she didnât continue discussing the topic either.
She said, âAlright, letâs go register and, by the way, claim this yearâs title of Magic Universityâs school beauty.â
ââââââââ
At noon, on the second floor of the school cafeteria.
Jiang Xu, An Nuonuo, Wu Mengmeng, and Xia Xiaozhan, the four of them, were sitting together.
âOh my gosh,â Wu Mengmeng exclaimed while looking at her phone, âjust the first day of school, and Zhou Mengmeng has already become the top school beauty, and Nuonuo is now second.â
âLet me see.â Xia Xiaozhan leaned over, equally shocked, âShe is actually more than five hundred votes ahead of Nuonuo?â
Wu Mengmeng frowned, âAlthough I admit that Zhou Mengmeng is indeed pretty, sheâs not to the level of completely surpassing Nuonuo.â
âExactly,â Xia Xiaozhan huffed, âI feel like this ranking isnât very accurate.â
They said this out of sincerity.
It wasnât because the boss was nearby.
It certainly wasnât because they wanted to suck up to the bossâs wife for a promotion and raise.
It was purely the truth.
Of course, if the boss was willing, they wouldnât refuse.
Jiang Xu also opened the schoolâs forum.
The first dozen or so posts were about Zhou Mengmeng, with more than half relating to her.
He clicked into one randomly.
It was a photo of Zhou Mengmeng taken in front of the school fountain.
Just a side profile gave off a pure, attractive, and vibrant vibe.
The comments below were almost all praises.
After reading a few, Jiang Xu realized it seemed like someone was deliberately leading the conversation.
Praising Zhou Mengmeng, belittling An Nuonuo.
Jiang Xuâs face showed displeasure.
He wasnât sure if this was the studentsâ doing or if someone was deliberately trying to stir things up.
Didnât they know who he was now, daring to talk about my wife?
Jiang Xu wasnât going to indulge them.
He directly posted a thread.
The title was: Any of you dare to talk bad about my wife, come to this post, and show me youâve got guts.
As for the content, it was just a âsmilingâ emoji.
Then he hit send.
Jiang Xu rarely posted in the school forum.
As soon as he published, it immediately caught everyoneâs attention.
Jiang Xu refreshed the page, and there were already dozens of comments:
[Wow, my senior brother rarely makes posts]
[Is this a knightâs fury for his beloved, loving it]
[Hmph, Jiang Xu is awesome, I see these newcomers donât know whatâs good for them, daring to talk about Jiang Xuâs wife]
[To be honest, Zhou Mengmeng really isnât as pretty as An Nuonuo]
ââââââââ
âMr. Jiang is impressive and authoritative,â said Wu Mengmeng, who had also seen the post, giving Jiang Xu a thumbs up.
âLook,â said Xia Xiaozhan, âall those negative comments about Nuonuo are gone.â
No help for it; Jiang Xu had become top capital now.
If he wanted to mess with someone, it was very simple.
And with this matter, he was still standing on the moral high ground.
Even if it got out, it wouldnât affect Jiang Xuâs reputation.
Jiang Xu sent a message to a senior student.
He asked him to check whether this incident had anything to do with Zhou Mengmeng.
