Chapter 131: Chapter 131: The truth comes out, Chen Yue: Is it too late to have a second child now?
“Huh?” Jiang Xu looked at her, puzzled.
She seemed a bit down.
It was rare for An Nuonuo to be in such a mood.
An Nuonuo pursed her lips and said, “I think my dad… might have another woman.”
“Huh?” Jiang Xu’s eyes twitched, “Why do you think so?”
Meanwhile, his mind was racing with thoughts.
Why would An Nuonuo suddenly bring this up?
Did they do something during that time and she found out?
An Nuonuo’s eyes were filled with sadness and confusion. “A few nights ago, when I walked by the washroom…
I heard my dad on the phone, talking to someone in a very intimate way.”
Jiang Xu fell silent.
What he’d been most worried about had happened after all.
He didn’t know if An Nuonuo had found out in her past life.
Maybe she did know, but kept silent for the sake of their family.
Jiang Xu didn’t particularly care about how An Feng was doing.
What he was worried about was that this incident might affect An Nuonuo’s academic performance.
After all, in this world, many things had changed because of his presence.
“I don’t know.” An Nuonuo shook her head, tears sliding from her eyes, “Why has it come to this?”
Jiang Xu gently patted her shoulder, “What you need to focus on now, is getting into a good university.
Let’s assume it’s as you suspect.
For your mom’s future security, you need to work hard.
Before that, act like you know nothing.
After all, you still need money for university, understand what I mean?”
“Yeah.” An Nuonuo wiped away her tears, “I understand.”
Jiang Xu let out a sigh of relief.
An Nuonuo was more rational than many other girls.
If she confronted An Feng directly, it would only push the situation out of control.
It was better to lay low and bide her time until she was capable of confronting the situation.
Jiang Xu continued, “In the meantime, if you get the chance, try to get him to give you more money and save it.
That will be your and your mom’s safeguard.
Even if your parents divorce in the future, you won’t be struggling financially.”
“Did you already know about this?” An Nuonuo stared at Jiang Xu,
“Was your advice to put the old house in my name because you found out something, right?”
Jiang Xu had initially wanted to deny it.
But facing An Nuonuo’s bright and clear eyes,
he ended up nodding, “Yeah, I found out by coincidence.
I didn’t think it would be good to share such information.
The only thing I could do was give you some extra backing.”
Suddenly, An Nuonuo said, “Teach me how to write novels. I want to be able to earn my own money.”
Jiang Xu paused, then laughed, “Sure, do you want to write a Male Story or a Female Story?”
“Female Story I guess…”
Jiang Xu nodded, “Okay, once we’re home, I’ll download some related novels for you.
Read them first, then we’ll talk about the next step.
The only condition is that you can’t sacrifice your school grades.
If your grades don’t meet the standards or decline, I’ll scold you.”
“Yeah!” The young girl nodded earnestly, “I understand.”
After about half an hour in the backyard, Jiang Xu decided to leave.
He didn’t let An Nuonuo accompany him, he left on his own.
As he passed the kitchen, intending to inform Li Yuanjuan,
he heard soft sobbing from inside.
Li Yuanjuan’s back was turned to Jiang Xu, her shoulders trembling.
Jiang Xu sighed inwardly.
It seemed that Li Yuanjuan had found out as well.
That was something he couldn’t fix. They would have to sort it out themselves.
Quietly, he slipped away.
Going back home, Jiang Xu downloaded dozens of various types of Female Story novels off the internet onto his laptop.
He’ll bring them to school tomorrow and download them on An Nuonuo’s phone.
At the moment, there are only a few types of Female Story novels.
After An Nuonuo finishes reading them.
With her clever intellect, and with Jiang Xu’s guidance.
The stuff she writes wouldn’t be too bad.
Additionally, An Nuonuo’s writing skills had improved greatly lately.
He checked the company’s bank account.
There were only 32,000 Yuan left.
But it was nearly the end of the month.
There should still be a good ten thousand Yuan in revenue from the storytelling event.
The next day when Jiang Xu woke up, he almost got scared to death.
He saw Chen Yue and Jiang Shan standing by his bed, their gazes eerie yet inscrutable.
“Mom, Dad, what are you doing, trying to scare me to death? When did you come back?”
Chen Yue had a faint smile on her face: “Good boy, I have a question for you.”
Jiang Xu: “Go on, Mom.”
Chen Yue: “Suppose I go buy you insurance now,
and then kill you, listing your father and me as beneficiaries. Could we collect the money?”
Jiang Xu’s pupils dilated, “Mom, what are you talking about?”
“You little shit, we just left for a few days, and you’ve turned the world upside down!”
Jiang Shan suddenly whipped out his belt, and started to thrash him.
The couple was fuming.
Originally, they were in high spirits, planning to travel to the next city yesterday.
But then they received a text message from the bank, reminding them to repay their loan on time.
The couple was baffled. They hadn’t borrowed money from the bank?
So they called to inquire if there was a mistake.
However, the answer they received almost killed them on the spot.
It turned out that their eldest son, had secretly taken out mortgages on both of their homes without their knowledge.
Their feelings at that moment were beyond words.
So they hurried back home overnight.
Jiang Xu took the beating while explaining himself.
It was only after he had used up all his saliva that his parents finally stopped.
Chen Yue clutched her heart: “You mischievous son, you didn’t even consult with us on such a major issue.”
“Mom, wasn’t this a surprise for you?” Jiang Xu assured her,
“You and Dad should rest assured, there will absolutely be no losses.”
“Ah, let it go, what’s done is done.” Jiang Shan put his belt back on.
He took Chen Yue’s hand: “Let’s go home.”
Chen Yue: “Why go home so early? I haven’t had enough punishment.
This little shit seemed so obedient before, and we were completely fooled by him.
Who would have thought he’d make such a big blunder in a blink of an eye.”
She didn’t believe a single word Jiang Xu had said.
She thought he had been tricked by someone,
which was why he’d made such an unwise decision.
Jiang Shan: “This son is a lost cause. Let’s hurry home and have another child.”
Chen Yue thought it over: “Alright, let’s go home. I’ll buy some supplements for you so you can work harder tonight.”
Jiang Xu: “…”
And just like that, the couple left.
Leaving Jiang Xu a bit bewildered.
Surely they weren’t planning on having a second child?
They’re not young anymore. Would it really be wise to continue such struggles?
But his parents were furious right now, and Jiang Xu didn’t dare to object.
Only after they had left did he dare to leave his bedroom.
He then saw Jiang Xiaoyan also coming out of her room.
Surprisingly, Jiang Xiaoyan didn’t mock him for getting beaten.
Instead, she came over and said glumly: “This is bad, a major problem has occurred.”
