Chapter 55

A very beautiful woman, tall, with outstanding temperament and a charming, mature aura.

“Hello, who are you looking for?” Jiang Xu approached her.

The woman turned around, a smile gracing her face as she looked at Jiang Xu, “Are you Jiang Xu?”

“Yes, I am.”

“Nice to meet you, I am Wang Xiaoyuan, Jun Yue’s sister.”

Jiang Xu’s eyes flashed, “How can I help you?”

Wang Xiaoyuan pushed back a few strands of hair from her forehead, “He’s been feeling very down these past few days, he’s lost a lot of weight.

It was only after pushing him did I find out that a girl he likes rejected him.

And then also said, she likes another boy.

So, I thought I’d come over and see who managed to defeat my little brother.”

Despite Wang Xiaoyuan often bullying her little brother in the past,

and always stealing his pocket money, blaming him for everything, it didn’t stop Wang Xiaoyuan from caring for Jun Yue.

Seeing him in this state recently, she couldn’t bear it.

Visiting Jiang Xu today was to get an understanding.

And to see if she could devise a strategy.

To help her little brother snatch back the woman he’s in love with.

“Hmm?” Suddenly, Jiang Xu caught on to something.

From Wang Xiaoyuan’s words just now,

did An Nuonuo reject Jun Yue and tell him that she likes him?

Wow!

Suddenly, Jiang Xu perked up.

So, does it mean that things are about to work out?

No, he couldn’t hold it in any longer.

He wanted to go find An Nuonuo to clarify things right away.

But in the end, he held back.

Wait until tomorrow.

Wang Xiaoyuan was scrutinizing Jiang Xu closely.

She noted that he was just a bit more handsome than her brother, taller, had a more composed temperament, sparkling eyes…

My goodness!

With all these considerations, her brother’s loss didn’t seem so unjust…

Jiang Xu asked, “Now that you’ve seen me, is there anything else you’d like to say?”

He still needs to get back to his work.

Wang Xiaoyuan asked, “Can you take me along on your summer holidays?”

She couldn’t really figure things out from just this meeting.

To be victorious, one must know one’s adversary.

She needed to properly understand Jiang Xu’s character, his likes and dislikes, so as to find the right approach.

This woman sure talks a lot.

Jiang Xu initially didn’t plan on entertaining her.

But then, a sudden burst of inspiration hit him.

Afterwards, he cheerfully started looking at Wang Xiaoyuan.

Wang Xiaoyuan felt a bit uneasy under Jiang Xu’s scrutiny.

She instinctively stepped back, crossing her arms.

She suspiciously watched him, “Hey, what are you up to?”

“Hmm? Little missy right?” Jiang Xu looked somewhat speechless, “I’m too busy setting up a business to go on holiday.”

Wang Xiaoyuan was taken aback, “Setting up a business, doing what?”

Jiang Xu briefly explained his box lunch business.

Wang Xiaoyuan’s impression of Jiang Xu changed immediately.

This young man was only a sophomore but he was already into business.

He was impressive.

Unlike her brother who was so dispirited only because a girl rejected him.

She seriously wished she could exchange her brother.

“Alright, alright, I don’t have time to talk that much.” Jiang Xu waved his hand,

“I am short-staffed right now, need to get back and come up with a solution.”

Wang Xiaoyuan’s eyes lit up, “I can help.”

“You?” Jiang Xu looked her up and down, “Can you cook?”

“I can learn if I don’t know, and you are also looking for an assistant, right?”

This was an excellent opportunity to understand Jiang Xu better.

It wouldn’t take too long.

With her being four or five years older than him, observing him for three to five days would suffice.

She could then choose to cut loose.

Jiang Xu looked at her doubtfully, “You should have graduated from university, right? Aren’t you looking for a job?”

“No need.” Wang Xiaoyuan blinked, “My mom left me a TV and film company.

There are professionals to manage it.

If there is something important, I just need to sign my name.

Ah, I’m such a wastrel, couldn’t find a job after graduation.

Besides inheriting a listed company from my family, I couldn’t do anything else.

Please hire me, let me experience the hardship of the lower class.”

Jiang Xu: “…”

Alright, alright, so that’s how it is.

Everyone around me is wealthy, and I’m the poorest, right.

Damn, she deceived me.

Jiang Xu pursed his lips, “All right. You can come, but it’s ten yuan a day.

Working hours are two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon.”

“Okay, deal.” Wang Xiaoyuan agreed without a moment’s hesitation.

Then she added Jiang Xu as a friend and left in her high heels.

Jiang Xu returned home, typed for a while, then went to bed.

The next day, An Nuonuo arrived with breakfast.

Now she’s not short of money. Every day she would bring breakfast along with her.

“Good morning.” The young girl’s voice was soft and sweet.

She placed the breakfast on the table, and her glamorous eyes darted around: “Where are aunt and uncle?”

“They’ve stayed at their restaurant lately and seldom come back.”

Anyway, the second floor of the restaurant had lodgings available.

It also saved them the daily commute and wasted time.

Of course, the most crucial thing was that they knew what Jiang Xu was up to.

How uncomfortable would it be for An Nuonuo to see the two of them every day?

Not many parents are as open-minded as Jiang Xu’s.

For most parents of a child their son’s age,

let alone dating, the slightest hint of it would be snuffed out immediately.

“Oh…” An Nuonuo didn’t think much about that.

“Right.” Jiang Xu leaned in.

He stared into her clear eyes: “Did I hear that someone confessed their love for me yesterday?”

The girl’s face instantly turned red.

Her head buzzing, her speech became stammering,

“I, I, I…what are…you talking…about…I can’t…understand… ”

A giant question mark formed in her mind.

How could Jiang Xu know?

Could it be Jun Yue who told him?

But that was impossible, those two had always been at odds.

“Why the nervousness?” Jiang Xu pretended to ask, “Could it be that the girl in question is you?”

An Nuonuo stomped her feet, “I’m not, I didn’t.”

She was flustered now.

Don’t tell.

She looked adorable in her current state.

Seeing Jiang Xu’s unbelieving expression.

The young girl was so frustrated she looked like she was about to blow her top.

Like a lost little duckling, pacing in circles on the spot.

In the end, she had no choice but to tell him what happened the previous night.

Jiang Xu was immediately disappointed.

Things weren’t as he had imagined.

Adaptability was the hallmark of the strong after all.

Jiang Xu pretended to be a little angry: “Miss An Nuonuo, what you did wasn’t nice.

What will happen to me if those words get out?

After all, I’m just an innocent young man with a pure reputation. You’ve tainted it all.

How do I face my classmates, teachers, and fellow villagers in the future?

To put it more severely, what if I can’t get married in the future?”

An Nuonuo was stunned.

She originally thought it was trivial.

But having heard what Jiang Xu said, it felt as though she had committed a serious crime.

Facing the overbearing Jiang Xu,

An Nuonuo couldn’t help shrinking her neck and weakly said, “I didn’t mean it.”

Jiang Xu kept a straight face on: “That’s it? Simply saying it was unintentional?

No way, you must compensate me!”
