Taking advantage of the beauty being poor, fooling her into being my girlfriend Chapter 24 - 24: It’s just a paltry fifty thousand New Year’

Damn it.

Casual displays of wealth are the most lethal.

Jiang Xu cald himself down and said, "How about we set up our own secret base in the future?

We can sing there or set up a few good computers. We can play however we want, doesn't that sound great?"

That was one reason.

Another reason, of course, was to help Fu Yanjie build up so more foundational assets.

Property prices were bound to skyrocket in the future, and owning a few more would provide him with better security.

He wasn't like himself, with a future billionaire father-in-law.

Fu Yanjie's eyes lit up: "That's a pretty good idea, now my parents won't be able to drag out of the Internet cafe whilst I'm gaming.

But, I don't have enough money.

All the New Year's money I've collected over the years is with my mom, she said she'd give it to when I beco an adult."

Jiang Xu was sowhat curious, he asked: "How much is it?"

"Not much, probably about fifty thousand."

"Tsk!" Jiang Xu spat on the ground, "Dog stuff, I shouldn't have bothered talking with you."

Having New Year's money amounting to fifty thousand, that's absolutely beastly.

"Is it a lot? So children of my parents' friends, their New Year's money is over a hundred thousand each year."

Jiang Xu was tired, he didn't want to talk anymore.

Damn it.

When they were about to reach the crossroads, Jiang Xu told him.

To tell his parents directly that he wanted to own a house, and ask them to give him the New Year's money.

If they asked, he could say that with the rapid developnt of the dostic economy, housing prices were sure to soar.

Fu Yanjie had his doubts, but he made a ntal note of it.

Once he got ho.

Fu Yanjie shouted: "Mom, give my New Year's money, I want to buy a house."

"Why on earth do you want to buy a house?"

Fu Yanjie then recounted what Jiang Xu had taught him to say.

His mother praised, "Very good, just like my son, you have a good sense of investnt.

But with the little money you have, what decent house can you buy?

I'll give you an extra five hundred thousand, go buy a villa."

...

On Saturday morning at five and a half, Jiang Xu was already up.

Being young was great.

Even if he woke up so early, he was still full of energy.

After washing up, he read for half an hour.

After he ca back from buying breakfast, Jiang Xu took his USB stick and headed to a nearby Internet cafe.

He planned to make use of the weekend and write a bit more.

Arriving at the Internet cafe, there were many who had booked for the night.

Jiang Xu asked for a seat in the corner.

As soon as the computer started, he began to type away.

For this first story, Jiang Xu estimated it to be around fifty thousand words.

He aid to finish it this weekend.

He could afford to be a bit late to help out at the restaurant.

With full concentration, Jiang Xu's typing speed was devilishly fast and extrely fluid.

He arrived at six o'clock.

By eight o'clock, he had already completed eight thousand words.

He logged off.

Jiang Xu rode the pink bicycle to An Nuonuo's house.

Her parents had already gone to work.

Early in the morning, she was watering the vegetables and feeding the chickens and ducks they kept.

She had tied her hair in a ponytail and was wearing loose, slightly faded sportswear.

When Jiang Xu arrived, she was bent over, back facing him, feeding the chickens and ducks.

Jiang Xu had an epiphany.

No wonder his mom said An Nuonuo would give birth to a son.

Indeed.

Aweso!

Such a beautiful sight, Jiang Xu could not bear to disturb it.

So he didn't make a sound, he just watched quietly.

He didn't have any other intentions, he just wanted to preserve this mont of beauty.

An Nuonuo turned around.

When she saw Jiang Xu, her face lit up with joy. She jogged over, "Brother, you're here. Wait, let wash my hands."

After An Nuonuo washed her hands and ca out.

She noticed the pink bicycle, and her girlish heart was moved.

Jiang Xu patted the seat, "What do you think? Pretty good, right? Do you like it?"

"Yes!"

The young girl nodded her head vigorously.

There was affection in her sparkling eyes, adorned with tiny glistening tears.

Heaven knew how much she envied those classmates of hers who owned bicycles.

Yet, because of her family's circumstances, the understanding girl never ntioned her wish for a bicycle.

Although her parents had offered to buy her one.

She turned them down each ti.

"What are you standing there for? Get on, I'll teach you."

"Oh..."

Nuonuo snapped out of her daze and cautiously climbed onto the bike.

"Hold onto and rest your feet on the pedals."

"Concentrate."

"Are you a fool?"

Nuonuo's rosy lips were slightly pursed.

Jiang Xu was teasing her again.

Yet she didn't feel unhappy; instead, she felt a strange sensation.

It wasn't happiness... it was hard to describe.

In any case, she liked the feeling.

Nuonuo was actually quite smart and had excellent physical coordination.

After just over an hour of learning, she could ride by herself.

Her face was adorned with a bright, breezy smile.

After a week of Jiang Xu's constant care, she was bursting with energy.

Her complexion had also notably improved.

Hidden under her thick fringe was a face that could make countless n rember it for a lifeti.

"From now on, we can ride ho together," Nuonuo thought to herself.

Despite wanting to continue riding.

She didn't forget their main purpose.

She stopped and told Jiang Xu, "Let's go to the restaurant; it's getting late."

"Alright."

They arrived at the restaurant.

Upon seeing Nuonuo, Chen Yue's face broke into a wide smile.

She was extrely enthusiastic.

Soda, fruits, drinks, she brought everything up.

Nuonuo was in dismay and sought Jiang Xu's help with her eyes.

Jiang Xu said in dissatisfaction, "Mom, why don't you treat like that?"

"How can that be the sa?" Chen Yue laughed, "Sons are to be disciplined, daughters are to be pampered."

Jiang Xu imdiately retorted, "She's not your daughter."

"She might not be my daughter, but she could be my daughter-in-law, right Nuonuo?"

"Auntie..." Nuonuo was at her wit's end.

She just couldn't handle it.

Jiang Xu subtly gave Chen Yue a thumbs up.

This was quite the powerful assist.

He decided to quit while ahead.

Jiang Xu pulled Nuonuo away to work.

He said with a smile, "My mom likes to joke a lot, don't mind her."

Nuonuo gently shook her head, the blush still on her face, "Not at all, your mom is very nice."

Soon, the restaurant was swamped with custors.

It wasn't until one o'clock or so that there were fewer custors.

Jiang Xu handed Nuonuo a bottle of drink, "You go to the room and rest for a while, I need to go to the internet café."

"Oh, okay."

"Good girl."

Jiang Xu couldn't help but ruffle her hair.

Her hair was soft; it felt delightful to the touch.

Nuonuo shrank into her collar.

At first, she wasn't used to having her head petted.

But as it happened more often, she found it rather comforting.

Moreover, she enjoyed it when Jiang Xu pet her head. It gave her a sense of security.

Jiang Xu hurried to the internet café.

From one to six, he consisted without a pause.

He cranked out twenty-two thousand words.

Adding the eight thousand from the morning, the total was thirty thousand.

If he just wrote ten thousand-plus more tomorrow, he would reach the grand finale.

At this speed, he would certainly terrify Lin Nan.

After all, most authors were still updating monthly at this ti.

He went to the front desk to settle the bill.

Jiang Xu stretched and walked towards the exit.

However, he had yet to step out of the door when he saw...
