Chapter 108: Chapter 108 Jiang Xu: There’s always someone trying to make trouble!

“Huh?” An Nuonuo looked confused at Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu organized his thoughts and said, “About your old house, I suggest you let your father transfer the property to your name.”

As Zhang Xiaohui’s appearances in his and An Nuonuo’s lives gradually increased, so did his sense of unease.

In his previous life, Jiang Xu hadn’t been a part of An Nuonuo’s life, so he didn’t know what she might have gone through during that time.

Yet, in this life, due to his involvement, many things have changed.

What if in this life, An Feng didn’t follow the predetermined path but instead chose to divorce Li Yuanjuan?

Then at least, if An Nuonuo owned a house, she would have some basic security.

Although, Jiang Xu could provide her with a place to live.

But, he knew that this seemingly delicate girl had a strong sense of self-esteem.

Moreover, if house prices increase in the future, it would be as if she is holding tens of millions of dollars in her hands, giving her a solid foundation no matter what direction she takes.

“Why did you suddenly say this?” The young girl didn’t seem to fully grasp the idea.

“Ahem,” Jiang Xu coughed then said, “I already own two properties myself. As my desk mate, you should also own one. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be unfair?”

He might not be able to fool this girl with other excuses. However, this seemingly childish one might just make her believe it.

True enough, An Nuonuo thought seriously for a moment.

Then she nodded, “Okay, I will talk to my dad when I get home.”

Jiang Xu smiled and said, “Good, then you should go.”

“Goodbye,” she replied.

Upon returning home, the problematic girl was nowhere to be found.

Jiang Xu was glad for the peace and quiet.

He prepared some food for himself.

After eating, he continued writing.

Martial Universe had already reached 1.2 million words.

Given the pace, it would take more than two months to finish.

At ten o’clock in the evening, he shut down his computer.

Took a look outside, but Jiang Xiaoyan was still not back.

Forget it, he said to himself, let’s sleep.

…

“Dad, I want to talk to you about something,” An Nuonuo said to her rarely-present-at-home father, An Feng, after dinner.

Now An Feng’s clothing business was booming, already having expanded by over one-fold.

He seemed to have ventured into other businesses as well.

However, he didn’t inform An Nuonuo or Li Yuanjuan about it.

Nowadays, the number of times his daughter and wife saw him was becoming less and less.

An Feng put down his chopsticks, smiled, and said, “What is it, my dear daughter?”

An Nuonuo pursed her lips and said, “I want the property from our old house. Can I have it?”

“Hm?” An Feng was puzzled. “Why do you have such a thought?”

An Nuonuo said, “It has my childhood memories; I want to own it.”

“Ah, if that’s the case, no problem, I’ll get someone to process it for you tomorrow,” An Feng quickly agreed.

An Nuonuo showed a smile and said, “Thank you, dad.”

“Ah, about that, Nuonuo…” Since the opportunity to speak had arisen, An Feng brought up an old topic:

“The matter of studying abroad that we spoke about last time, why don’t you reconsider it?

This is a rare opportunity that could change the course of your life.

If you miss it, it’ll be hard to get such an opportunity again.”

“Yes, daughter,” Li Yuanjuan who was sitting on the side also said, “I had a thorough discussion with your dad yesterday evening.

I will go with you at that time. You don’t have to worry about anything.”

“I’m not going,” An Nuonuo gently shook her head.

Her voice was light, but the tone was firm.

An Feng hesitated before asking, “Is it because of Jiang Xu?

You both are still young and shouldn’t be thinking of such things.

If you truly are destined for each other, you’ll still be together after graduation from university.”

“Mom and dad, I need to go back and do my homework,” An Nuonuo said, changing the subject.

After saying this, An Nuonuo left the room.

An Feng and Li Yuanjuan both were taken aback.

An Nuonuo, who had always been the obedient girl in their eyes, had never acted so ‘radically’ before.

“Ah, well.” An Feng sighed, “For now, let it be. We will persuade her if we have any chance.”

“That’s probably the best course.” Li Yuanjuan suddenly grabbed An Feng’s hand, “I just bought a new set of pajamas…”

“This…” An Feng hesitated, “I’ve been quite tired recently.”

Li Yuanjuan coldly snorted, “I don’t care, it’s been over two months.

You must…even if you do need to eat a hundred pounds of oysters for dinner.”

An Feng couldn’t help but wryly smile, as he felt a faint backache.

It seemed like his thermos needed more than just goji berries. He would have to add some other things.

…

“Farewell, Director Chen, Director Zhang…”

At the entrance of a hotel in Deep City.

Liu Yue, Chen Xueyi, Zhou Qingyue, and others were waving goodbye to two portly middle-aged men.

The two men were leering at the young women.

After some small talk, they got into their car and drove away.

Once they were out of sight, everyone’s faces fell.

Zhou Qingyue rubbed her somewhat swollen belly, “Is this the true face of the entertainment circle?”

Earlier, while having dinner with the two investors, she was coerced to drink a lot.

However, Liu Yue smartly switched her white wine with boiled water.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to stand.

Of course, in order not to expose her trick,

Zhou Qingyue used a little trick to make her face blush.

But as for what the trick was, she couldn’t say.

Chen Xueyi said, looping an arm around her shoulder, “That’s right. This is the reality of the industry. If you want to survive here, there are certain things you just have to face.”

Liu Yue laughed, “These two investors are actually quite decent.

They just made small talk during dinner and didn’t make any inappropriate moves.

And we managed to close the deal for the project with them.”

Zhou Qingyue looked expectant, “The total investment for the second film reached twenty million.

Once it’s released, it will definitely be even more popular.”

Liu Yue, after seeing the success of the first film, already planned to keep up with its momentum.

Sponsors had already been lined up for the second film.

Next, it would be all the preparations for the pre-production phase.

Yes, the second film was none other than “Pure Lover,” the copyright for which they had just bought from Jiang Xu.

Zhou Qingyue looked at the neon lights, her eyes shining with an indecipherable glint.

She quietly clenched her fist, “Jiang Xu, you want to distance yourself from me. That’s impossible.

Your novel has become my second lead role.

This mark cannot be erased!”

…

“Ah, is making a movie this troublesome?”

At the same time, Wang Xiaoyuan was also on the filming location.

Only after getting personally involved did she realize how tiring it was.

At this time of the day, she used to either go for late-night snacks or watch movies.

When did she start working so hard?

Nevertheless, despite her complaints, the work still had to be done.

The production of this film was already half done.

In a little over a month, it could be released.

The recent super-hit “Those Years” had given her quite a push.

Since her film as well was adapted from one of Jiang Xu’s novels, she couldn’t let it be of lesser quality than theirs, right?

…

“Ding Ling Ling…”

It was midnight, and the ringing of Jiang Xu’s mobile roused him from his sleep.

Jiang Xu was furious. Who could that nutcase be?

Seeing that it was Jiang Xiaoyan’s call, he swallowed his anger and answered, “You better have a reason for calling, or I’ll give you one!”
