Chapter 10
“You little punk, so young and already eyeing your old man’s savings, aren’t you?”
Jiang Shan picked up a broom, pretending to swing it.
One second they were a picture of fatherly love and filial piety, the next, it was chaos.
“Dad, don’t be rash, listen to me.” Jiang Xu was startled, “What I mean is, let’s withdraw the money and buy this place.”
“Huh?” Jiang Shan frowned, “Why do you think that?”
Jiang Xu said, “Renting other people’s properties is always unstable.
If they decide not to rent anymore one day, we will have to leave.
Moreover, if we buy this place, it can be used by future generations, it wouldn’t go to waste.
Let’s take advantage of the affordable housing prices and buy it.”
Chen Yue: “Son, you have a point, but there’s not enough money to buy this place.”
Jiang Xu: “We can borrow from the bank, as long as we provide the restaurant’s income statement.
The mortgage rates right now aren’t high, monthly repayments should be manageable.”
“What if the house prices drop in the future?” Jiang Shan asked.
“Impossible.” Jiang Xu spoke with conviction.
Then he dove into topics ranging from macroeconomics, international situations, and the changes in domestic history over the years.
In short, both Chen Yue and Jiang Shan were so confused by what Jiang Xu said that their heads were spinning.
They didn’t understand, but it sounded impressive.
Finally, the following six words popped into their minds: My son is truly incredible!
They felt that refusing to buy the place, as Jiang Xu suggested, would be a grave sin.
“Oh, mom and dad, I invited a classmate to help out tomorrow, I’ll pay her forty yuan a day plus meals, is that ok?”
“A girl?” Chen Yue became interested.
“Yep.” Jiang Xu chuckled, “Mom, I have eyes for her,
she’s very kind and cute, I’m smitten with her for the rest of my life.,
Please, say some good words about me in front of her.”
Jiang Xu’s family was quite different; they were very open-minded.
Chen Yue had stated it before.
Dating was fine.
As long as he didn’t overstep boundaries and was responsible for the girl.
And it couldn’t affect his grades, then it was all right.
“Oh my, I can’t wait to see this young lady who is so outstanding, to make my son speak like this.”
Friday nights were always busy.
They stayed busy until three in the morning before closing the door.
He had already told his parents.
They would go and talk to the shop owner tomorrow morning to see if he was willing to sell.
The next morning at six, Jiang Xu woke up on time.
He had mostly activated all his past life’s memories during these two days.
He had almost finished reading the textbooks for the second year of high school.
At seven o’clock, after freshening up, Jiang Xu went out to buy breakfast.
Soy milk, fried breadsticks, and steamed buns.
When he was in middle school, his parents gave him fifty yuan a week as pocket money.
In high school, they increased it to one hundred and fifty yuan per week.
In this life, he didn’t need to spend money on Zhou Qingyue, so his pocket money was basically untouched.
On his way home, Jiang Xu deliberated what he should do next.
An Nuonuo took a bite of a bun, her cheeks bulging.
What the heck.
Who said that girls have big appetites, that’s just too much.
Three meat buns, and a portion of hot milk.
An Nuonuo estimated that it cost about two yuan.
After eating.
She quietly took out two yuan, and slipped it into Jiang Xu’s pocket.
A slight smile formed on Jiang Xu’s lips.
He pretended not to notice.
This girl, she’s not like Zhou Qingyue who only knows how to receive and doesn’t know how to give.
No one likes those who only know how to take, but are unwilling to give anything back.
“Ah, how come we are at the library?”
An Nuonuo looked up and realized they were in front of the library.
Jiang Xu smiled and said, “The restaurant doesn’t open until ten o’clock. Let’s go read some books first.”
His real motive was to spend as much time as possible with her.
Only this way could they foster their relationship better.
And then take her to a variety of popular places.
Like the library, milk tea shop, park, and the likes.
Over time, even if Jiang Xu is not with her,
these scenes might bring him to mind.
I was a clever little devil.
The naive An Nuonuo had no idea that she was being thoroughly arranged by Jiang Xu.
Upon hearing this, she didn’t think too much about it.
Reading was also fine.
She also liked reading books.
Jiang Xu locked the car, and they both walked in.
This was a public library.
Students could enter by presenting their student IDs.
Jiang Xu picked two books and sat down in a corner.
At this time, there weren’t many readers.
They found a corner.
And sat together.
Bathed in a gentle sunlight.
An Nuonuo turned her head and saw Jiang Xu’s perfect side profile.
Her heart gave a lurch.
Then, blushing, she lowered her head.
She found it hard to calm down for a long time.
Jiang Xu noticed her unusual behavior.
He laughed and asked, “Is the book good?”
“Um, it’s very good,” An Nuonuo said softly.
She felt her face getting hot again.
She thought she was so useless, always reacting this way. Would Jiang mind?
Jiang Xu: “Let me see what amazing book it is that you’re so engrossed in reading it upside down.”
An Nuonuo: “???”
