âThatâs great, cousin, Iâm so glad youâre okay.â
Zhou Mengmeng hugged Zhou Qingyue tightly.
The moment was one of genuine emotion.
âHoney, are you okay?â An Nuonuo anxiously felt Jiang Xuâs hands and feet.
âIâm fine,â Jiang Xu smiled. âJust a small scene.â
âClap!â âClap!â âClap!â
The scene erupted into a burst of enthusiastic applause and cheers:
âMr. Jiang is awesome!â
âIs this what friendship looks like? Iâm crying.â
âItâs hard to imagine, a tycoon worth tens of billions of dollars, would rush into a blazing fire to save someone.â
âMr. Jiang values loyalty and is a true man.â
âIs it just me, or is something off here?â
âShut up, will you?â
ââââââââ
The incident quickly climbed to the top of the hot search lists on major web platforms, with many participants in the discussion.
In cases like these, filled with positive energy, even official channels would follow up with reports.
Praise for Jiang Xu was generously doled out.
Since entering business, Jiang Xu had not made a single mistake regarding principles and integrity.
Moreover, he paid his taxes in full every year, never falling behind by a dime.
Such a positive and inspirational business leader with a leading role is exactly what officials like the most.
Unsurprisingly, the stock prices of several listed companies under Nuomi Group hit the daily limit that day.
Countless other bosses were red with envy.
They couldnât wait to start marketing their own personal IPs.
This was really making money.
And it could also save the company a fortune in endorsement fees.
âThank you!â Zhou Qingyue bowed at a ninety-degree angle to Jiang Xu. âI will always remember this life-saving grace. If you ever need anything from me, please do not hesitate to ask.â
There were too many people around now; she dared not look at Jiang Xu.
Fearful that the affection in her eyes would be discovered.
Zhou Mengmeng also bowed to Jiang Xu.
Her favorable impression of this man had increased greatly.
In such a dangerous situation, to still be able to rush in and save someoneâa few on this earth could accomplish that.
This further solidified Zhou Mengmengâs resolve to win Jiang Xu over.
Jiang Xu had to be mine, and no one else could take him away!
On the way back, An Nuonuo began to feel the aftereffects of fear.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
She clutched Jiang Xuâs hand tightly: âI should have stopped you.â
If something had happened to him, she wouldnât have known what to do.
She also wouldnât know how to explain it to Jiang Xuâs parents.
Perhaps this was a bit selfish.
But thatâs just how people are.
When it comes to choosing between family and friends, most would choose family.
Jiang Xu chuckled, âDonât worry, I knew what I was doing. If I wasnât absolutely sure, I wouldnât have gone to save people.â
An Nuonuo didnât say anything more but just held Jiang Xuâs hand even tighter.
The car quickly entered the garage of their private villa.
It was silent; not a soul was around.
An Nuonuo wanted to get out of the car, but Jiang Xu pulled her back.
Seeing the mischievous smile on Jiang Xuâs face, An Nuonuo knew what he was up to.
She blushed involuntarily, âItâs not so good in the car~â
Jiang Xu: âThis car has been driven for quite some time now, I need to check if the shock absorbers are still good.â
Jiang Xu was talking nonsense, and An Nuonuo knew it for a fact.
She wanted to run away, but Jiang Xu would not let her, having already locked the car doors in advance.
Very soonâ
Jiang Xu began âinspectingâ the carâs shock absorbers for any issues.
After an hour-long âtest,â it was found that the carâs shock absorbers were in good condition, no problems at all.
Jiang Xu handed An Nuonuo a tissue to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
Looking down with a smirk, he said, âWhat do you think, does our car count as a flood-damaged vehicle now?â
An Nuonuo was taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized what he meant.
She angrily grabbed Jiang Xuâs arm, bit down hard, then pushed the door open, got out of the car, and ran away.
Jiang Xu laughed heartily.
It was rare to see An Nuonuo so flustered and furious.
It was just a pity that he hadnât captured that moment with his phone to enjoy it thoroughly.
ââââââââââ
In the misty bathroom,
Zhou Qingyueâs whole body, except for her neck, was submerged in the bathtub.
She had just returned from the hospital.
Her leg was just dislocated, and it was fine after the doctor had reset it.
At the moment, lying in the bathtub, her thoughts drifted to the earlier scene of Jiang Xu carrying her on his back.
Over and over again.
What was once a still heart was now surging with passion, beyond her control.
âJerk!â
Zhou Qingyue couldnât help but bite her lip and spit softly.
She now felt a mix of love and hate toward Jiang Xu.
âSigh~â
After who knows how long, Zhou Qingyue let out a long sigh.
She had resigned herself to her fate.
Perhaps she would never escape Jiang Xuâs clutches in this lifetime.
But she no longer harbored any hope of snatching Jiang Xu from An Nuonuoâs hands.
If that was the case, then she would use the dumbest method, to remain by Jiang Xuâs side as a friend, as a business partner.
From another perspective, didnât that also count as another form of being together?
Master, I have come to understand.
âSplash!â
Zhou Qingyue rose from the bathtub, and drops of water cascaded down her smooth, fair skin.
Thanks to years of maintaining a routine of exercise, dancing, and dieting,
Zhou Qingyueâs figure had improved a lot compared to her high school days.
Especially after like Jiang Xiaoyan, going for laser surgery, her body looked impeccably clean all over.
Just like a piece of uncarved jade.
Zhou Qingyueâs gaze fell on the full-length mirror, and she couldnât help but sigh.
Such a beautiful figure, yet a pity that nobody enjoyed it.
She really wished she could offer it to her readers.
âSis, if you donât come out soon, Iâm going to break the door down.â
Seeing Zhou Qingyue emerge, Zhou Mengmeng let out a sigh of relief.
She was worried about Zhou Qingyue being alone, so she came over to spend the night with her.
Zhou Qingyue said with a smile, âHow could you, a girl, âbreak the door downâ?â
Zhou Mengmeng: âHuh???â
She didnât understand what her cousin was talking about.
Zhou Qingyue smiled without saying a word.
Her sister was still young; it was normal for her not to understand.
She pinched Zhou Mengmengâs cheek: âGo take a shower, too.â
âOkay~â
Zhou Qingyue uncorked a bottle of red wine.
Sitting on the couch, she stretched her legs out on the coffee table.
As she was wearing a bathrobe, this pose would have exposed everything to anyone sitting opposite her.
Zhou Qingyue scrolled through short videos while sipping the red wine.
She had downloaded two short video apps.
One was Kuaishou, and the other was âXiao Bai Video.â
However, on both video apps, she had not yet posted any works or become a creator.
Originally, she wanted to negotiate with both and seek benefits.
After all, she was still one of the hottest actresses in the country.
But now, she would definitely only choose Kuaishou.
And she didnât plan to ask for money.
Thinking this, Zhou Qingyue turned on her phoneâs front camera, shot a video, and then posted it to Kuaishou.
As soon as the video was published, it exploded instantly.
