There was a letter on the table.
Jiang Xu picked it up. The front of it read: For Jiang Xu's eyes only.
After opening it, he pulled out the letter enclosed within.
It read: My adorable little brother, your sister is leaving. Try not to miss me too much, okay?
Once I succeed in whatever I'm doing, I'll help you reach the peak of life.
Remember to message me on time, or else when I return, just see how I'll deal with you, hmph.
Also, I left a card.
It has five hundred thousand in it, and the password is six eights.
I'll deposit a hundred thousand into it for you every month to support your entrepreneurial journey.
What do you think, aren't you moved?
I guess, in the entire world, probably only I, your sister, could be this good to you.
While I'm away, you better behave yourself properly.
Don't do anything that you shouldn't.
Otherwise, wait and see how I deal with you when I return.
Also, the business car at the entrance now belongs to you; it's under your name now.
With this, the letter abruptly ended.
However, at the very bottom of the letter, Jiang Xu noticed some traces that had already dried up.
Either Jiang Xiaoyan had been crying while sending it,
Or she had deliberately dropped some water droplets on the letter for sympathy.
Jiang Xu couldn't figure out which one it was,
Since this little girl had always been quite an eccentric.
But...
She indeed had quite a conscience.
He took out the bank card from the envelope.
Five hundred thousand; it could help solve Jiang Xu's urgent needs.
At least he could pay off the loan for the first month.
And there's an additional hundred thousand every month.
This felt as if he was being a kept man.
This was a disgrace to the reincarnated!
No!
Jiang Xu shook his head.
We earned this honestly.
On his way to school,
he stopped by an ATM on the roadside and transferred the money to his own bank account.
When he arrived in the classroom, he noticed that An Nuonuo seemed listless.
He took a look after sitting down, and noticed that her flawless face was marked with two huge dark circles.
"You stayed up too late last night, didn't you? What happened to your promise?" Jiang Xu asked, pinching her face.
An Nuonuo stuck out her tongue a bit awkwardly, "The book was so good, I lost track of time.
I won't do it again."
Jiang Xu understood that feeling.
When he first started reading novels,
The first one he came across was called "My Beautiful Lady".
He was completely absorbed in it at that time.
Often staying up late and even browsing on his mobile while walking and eating.
Seeing An Nuonuo's sincere remorse, Jiang Xu didn't press any further.
After school in the afternoon, Jiang Xu headed to the restaurant.
Right, it was about time to show some responsibility to defuse the 'emperors' anger.
At the same time, Jiang Xu was also worried that his parents would overwork themselves because of the colossal debt.
However, the reality proved that Jiang Xu was overthinking.
When he saw his parents, they were having a heated discussion about neighborhood gossip.
"Mum, Dad, are you busy today? I came to lend a hand," Jiang Xu announced.
They ignored him.
Jiang Xu raised his voice again.
Chen Yue turned her head with a smile, "Young man, are you here to eat? Please take a seat inside."
Jiang Xu: "..."
"Mom, don't do that. Look, over there, it definitely won't be a loss," Jiang Shan suggested.
Jiang Shan responded: "Dear customer, could you please keep your distance? I don't want my future kids to misunderstand, and be jealous."
Jiang Xu's eyes widened, "No way, are you guys serious?"
If there weren't so many customers outside right now...
Jiang Xu indignantly muttered, "Don't pick on the poor. Life can turn on a dime."
That was so harsh.
But on second thought...
His parents didn't seem the least bit nervous.
Could it be that they are in fact well-connected?
Perhaps, his parents used to be members of a secretive, wealthy family.
They were chased out due to some incidents.
Then, the successor of the family died unexpectedly, forcing his parents to return and inherit the family's leadership.
Young Master/Mistress, ten years have passed, please return home with your old servant and assume control!
Jiang Xu rapidly shook his head.
This was a bit too fanciful.
The shop was doing okay without Jiang Xu, so he didn't stay long.
His parents seemed content, and that was all that mattered.
On his way, he stopped by to check on the renovation of his secret base.
The progress was faster than what Jiang Xu had anticipated.
At this rate, it might be ready after the National Day holiday.
"Ding-dong!"
His phone rang.
It was a notification about a bank deposit.
It was from The Story Club.
Thirty-six thousand.
As he had expected, the commission was gradually decreasing.
Next month, it might just be a few thousand yuan.
He went back home and started writing again.
...
After finishing her homework and bathing, An Nuonuo returned to her room to read novels.
There were a pen and paper on her bedside table.
She didn't just read the novels.
If she found something interesting or worth studying, she'd make a note of it.
With this attitude, she already had half the ingredients for success.
An Feng returned today.
As he laid on his bed reading after bathing, Li Yuanjuan brought over a plate of fruit.
She sat beside An Feng, "Have some fruit."
Without lifting his head, An Feng said, "Just leave it there, I'll have it later."
Li Yuanjuan shook her head, "Have some now, once you've eaten, we'll apply for the divorce certificate tomorrow."
An Feng swiftly lifted his head.
Only then did he notice that Li Yuanjuan had brought a pear that was split in half.
He furrowed his brows, "What nonsense are you saying?"
Li Yuanjuan's expression was calm, "I saw something in the first book on the top shelf on the left."
An Feng's complexion changed drastically, "Let me explain!"
"No need," Li Yuanjuan shook her head, "I understand.
Now that you're rich, aiming to separate your assets is naturally the right move.
I don't blame you, truly, I don't blame you at all."
"Then why…" An Feng cautiously asked.
An asset transfer was something Zhang Xiaohui repeatedly suggested.
She even relayed numerous cases to him.
Like a billionaire who lost all his assets, penniless, due to his wife's schemes.
At first, An Feng didn't pay attention.
However, as Zhang Xiaohui mentioned it more frequently.
And as his wealth grew, he wavered.
Eventually, he complied with Zhang Xiaohui's suggestion.
Li Yuanjuan gave a wistful smile, "I have no problem with you holding all the money.
But do you think that no one knows about your affair with that woman?"
An Feng's pupils dilated, immediately he hastened to deny, "You've misunderstood, Zhang Xiaohui and I are only business partners."
Li Yuanjuan replied, "Did I mention Zhang Xiaohui? You gave yourself away."
An Feng was at a loss for words.
After a long silence, he said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Can you give me another chance?"
Li Yuanjuan shook her head in determination.
An Feng became somewhat agitated, "Did you consider Nuonuo's feelings?
She's taking the college entrance exam next year!"
