Chapter 45: An Nuonuo finally cut her bangs
Surprisingly, this method really worked.
In no time, Jiang Xu felt more pure and free of desires.
That guy was good company.
"Exams are over. How about an all-nighter at my place tonight?" Fu Yanjie stepped up to him.
"Bleah!"
Jiang Xu retched dryly.
"What's wrong with you?" Fu Yanjie wore a puzzled expression.
Jiang Xu shook his head: "Nothing much, just thought of something disgusting. I won't go tonight, maybe in a few days."
Fu Yanjie glanced at An Nuonuo.
He understood.
"Alright then, now that you have a girlfriend, I'm not your favorite anymore. I'll just go by myself."
Jiang Xu quickly left with An Nuonuo.
His instinct told him, someone might storm into the classroom.
Sure enough.
Just less than two minutes after they left, Jun Yue came running.
Before this, Jiang Xu had deceived him in various ways.
This time, Jun Yue had gotten smarter.
He directly stationed himself by the classroom door, not believing the others could escape.
However.
By the time he got to the classroom, he was dumbfounded.
Where were they?
Where was my Nuonuo?
Someone gritted his teeth: "Jiang Xu, I'll never let this go, ahhhhh!!"
Behind the school.
Jiang Xu instructed: "Don't pick the ripe ones. They'll go bad in a day. Pick the green ones, or half ripe ones."
"Oh, alright."
The young girl was having fun picking the fruits, armed with two burlap bags.
Most girls her age were conscious about appearances.
Not many girls would be willing to do something like carrying burlap bags around.
They picked for roughly an hour.
Two backpacks and two burlap bags were all filled with mangoes.
Together, they probably weighed around 130 pounds.
Nuonuo held the two backpacks, one in front and one behind.
Jiang Xu carried the two burlap bags.
Carrying a hundred plus pounds was not too challenging, but it wasn't easy either.
All of these mangoes were stored at Jiang Xu's house.
It was too late in the day for him to walk Nuonuo home, as he had a lot of things to do.
He just told Nuonuo: "Come find me tomorrow morning, and I'll show you how to make money."
"Sure!" An Nuonuo nodded emphatically.
Jiang Xu was her favorite.
Because he would take her to earn money.
At noon, Chen Yue called to inform him that she was going to a friend's gathering in the evening and he didn't need to cook for her.
So, Jiang Xu went out and grabbed a quick meal.
Then he went to a couple of nearby internet cafes to check them out.
Back at Nuonuo's house.
An Feng was home, and so was Li Yuanjuan.
His appearance had significantly changed in a short period of time.
He looked radiant, full of confidence.
Money brings courage.
This stuff, it could really change a person.
"Sweetie, how did your exams go?"
"Hmm, quite good. I think I should be able to score well this time."
"That's great. Here, this is for you..."
An Feng handed over a pink wallet to Nuonuo: "The wallet is a present for you, there's two thousand yuan inside. It was our fault before, that you had to suffer. From now on, you can stay at home and be our little princess."
Nuonuo was taken aback: "This much money?"
Li Yuanjuan explained with a smile: "Your dad made over a hundred thousand yuan from the last two business trips. Our household debts have been cleared. Once he sells all the factory inventory, your dad is going to buy the factory. So, just take the money. You don't have to struggle anymore."
"Yes," added An Feng: "I asked your mom to stop working too. From now on, she'll just take care of you at home."
The girl looked at her pink wallet and the twenty banknotes inside, somewhat dazed.
Happiness hit her so suddenly that she was taken by surprise.
The first thing that came to her mind was to treat Jiang Xu to a good meal.
She owed him too much for all his past kindness.
She returned to her bedroom.
An Nuonuo looked at herself in the mirror.
Her hairstyle was outdated and covered half of her face.
As a result, probably no one in her class had ever seen her real appearance after two terms of classes.
She used to lack confidence.
But now, she had changed a lot.
"Perhaps, I should change my hairstyle."
Once this thought popped up, she couldn't suppress it.
An Nuonuo pulled out a hundred yuan from her wallet and left the room.
When she arrived at a nearby hair salon, An Nuonuo said, "Please trim my bangs and give me a new style."
The next day, An Nuonuo set out early to find Jiang Xu.
However, what made her uncomfortable was,
The stares she got from many people along the way.
Besides being used to being ignored, suddenly receiving so much attention, made her uneasy.
Even a few braver ones stopped her halfway and asked for her contact information.
This scared her into scurrying away.
"Jiang, I'm here."
Upon reaching Jiang Xu's front door, An Nuonuo called out.
The door opened.
Chen Yue came out.
She had been out for a party last night, so the restaurant closed early and she went to bed early too.
She planned to get up early to make breakfast for her son.
"Who are you?"
Upon seeing An Nuonuo, Chen Yue was shocked on the spot.
Such a pretty girl, she had never seen one all her life!
When did her son hook up with this level of girl?
She then got angry.
She saw An Nuonuo as her future daughter-in-law.
No other girls were allowed.
Chen Yue's anger was surging, and 108 kinds of torturous punishments began to appear in her mind.
Jiang Xu, who was writing in his room, shivered involuntarily.
Jiang Xu scratched his head, "Strange, why do I feel like I'm being targeted by some powerful creature?"
"Auntie, it's me, Nuonuo. Don't you recognize me?"
"What? You're Nuonuo!" Chen Yue's pupils dilated.
This pretty girl in front of her with her beauty and charm was An Nuonuo?
Chen Yue was completely dumbfounded.
But she could tell from her voice.
After confirming this indeed was An Nuonuo, Chen Yue couldn't help but grin with joy.
So, my future daughter-in-law is so beautiful!
No wonder my son has such a good eye.
Betting on the right horse gets you a win right away.
She immediately pulled An Nuonuo into the living room.
She began to pour out a string of concerns and questions.
"Have you had breakfast yet? Are you tired from riding your bike? Is it hot? What kind of drink would you like? How did your exams go? When are you planning to have a baby?"
Err...
Scratch that last one.
An Nuonuo crossed her small hands, feeling bashful.
The auntie's behavior was just too overwhelming; she didn't know how to respond.
She was too enthusiastic.
Chen Yue was overwhelmed with joy.
She already adored An Nuonuo.
Now that she saw her true face, she wished her son could marry her immediately.
"You're here to see Xiao Xu, right? He's in his room; go in yourself."
Saying so, she directly pulled An Nuonuo to Jiang Xu's bedroom door.
Then she gently knocked on the door.
A voice from inside responded, "The door is not locked, mom."
Chen Yue winked at her and then ran off.
With a cheeky smile on her face.
An Nuonuo hesitated for a few seconds, then slowly pushed the door open.
The next second.
She covered her mouth, but a scream still escaped.
