The Mad Young Master Falls Asleep Every Night to My Fragrance - Chapter 22

“Let’s go and comfort him.”

“No!” Jiang Youxi clung tightly to the stone pillar beside her, refusing to let go.

She still wants to live!

Although He Zhuo assured her that he wouldn’t kill her, verbal promises are the easiest things to go back on.

If you accidentally say something wrong while interacting with him, you won’t even know how you died.

In the end, He Zhuo will lose his wife.

But what she lost was a dog’s life!

“Mom, Dad gave you 500,000 yuan after all. You not only won’t help him through this difficult time, but you won’t even say a nice word?”

Jiang Youxi was filled with shame.

Jiang Xu was right. Regardless of the purpose or identity, He Zhuo did indeed give her the 500,000 yuan.

Since you’ve accepted someone’s money, you should have the attitude that comes with receiving money.

Consider it as providing some emotional value for the generous and magnanimous boss.

Jiang Youxi immediately let go: “Let’s go, let’s go coax the big boss!”

_

As soon as He Zhuo hung up the phone, a head peeked out and gave him a sweet smile: “Senior He Zhuo, what a coincidence to run into you here.”

The man raised an eyebrow and stubbed out his cigarette: “What are you doing here?”

Jiang Youxi pointed to Jiang Xu behind her: “I brought my younger brother out to play.”

Jiang Xu immediately chimed in with a smile: “Dad—Brother He Zhuo, Mom saw that you were in a bad mood, so she came over to comfort you.”

Jiang Youxi’s pupils dilated, and she hurriedly covered Jiang Xu’s mouth.

He Zhuo’s gaze fell on her, his eyes filled with interest: “Really? I didn’t realize.”

Jiang Xu pulled Jiang Youxi’s hand away and said quickly, “She’s just shy, so… umm—”

Jiang Youxi held down her rebellious son and forced a laugh: “Senior He Zhuo, I heard it’s your birthday today. Happy birthday!”

He Zhuo paused slightly, put his hands in his pockets, leaned against the railing, and glanced at her: “This is it?”

“Yes, this is it.”

“Then I wish you a happy birthday too.”

“…”

Why did I hear a hint of gritted teeth in my voice?

Jiang Xu leaned closer and whispered, “Mom, didn’t you notice? Dad wants your birthday present!”

? ?

Is there?

Jiang Youxi secretly glanced at He Zhuo.

Hands in pockets, expression cool, as arrogant as ever.

Jiang Youxi took the opportunity to leave when her phone rang.

Jiang Xu said confidently, “Don’t worry, she went to buy you a gift.”

He Zhuo withdrew his gaze and looked at him.

Aside from being a little shorter and thinner, and having dimples when he smiles, this kid is exactly the same as him.

Every time He Zhuo sees this kid, he feels like he’s looking in a mirror.

How did she know it was my birthday today?

“Because my mom likes you!”

“Your mother?”

“Yes, Jiang Youxi is my mom.”

Why hasn’t she taken you to the hospital yet?

“Which hospital?”

“Mental hospital.”

“I’m not sick.”

“You’re sick.”

“Okay, I’m sick.”

He Zhuo patted his head with satisfaction: “That’s right.”

Jiang Xu tossed his head and shook off his hand: “Do you know why I call my mom ‘Mom’?”

“Because you are quite ill.”

Jiang Xu choked: “Because that’s my sister’s nickname!”

“…”

He Zhuo glanced at him calmly.

Jiang Xu explained in a serious tone: “In my hometown, there is a custom that brothers and sisters each have their own nicknames. My sister’s nickname is Mom.”

What’s your name?

“My name is Son.”

“…”

He Zhuo chuckled.

Where did this silly boy come from?

Seeing him smile, Jiang Xu was greatly encouraged and kept trying to bring them together: “Brother He Zhuo, you have no idea how much my mom likes you! She can not only recite all your preferences by heart, but also remember the time of every competition you’ve participated in and how many championships you’ve won. She’s also secretly written you so many love letters!”

“Do you know how many love letters there were?” Jiang Xu spread his arms to indicate. “I weighed them, and they weighed a full hundred pounds!”

Jiang Xu was exceptionally eloquent. He took Jiang Youxi’s actions and those she hadn’t, and embellished them, transforming her from a poor college student who only wanted to earn money to support her family into a top-tier love-struck woman who couldn’t have He Zhuo and could only secretly admire him, vowing to love only He Zhuo for the rest of her life.

He Zhuo looked at the beaming young man and reacted calmly: “She told you?”

“No, I saw it secretly.” Jiang Xu said with certainty, “Brother He Zhuo, don’t worry, my mother’s love for you is as clear as day!”

Do you know what the consequences of spreading rumors are?

What are the consequences?

“Break their legs.”

“…”

–

When Jiang Youxi returned after making the phone call, she didn’t see them.

When I called, I found out that Jiang Xu and He Zhuo had gone up to the Lingying Club on the fourth floor together.

When Jiang Youxi arrived at the club, she saw Jiang Xu and He Zhuo playing billiards together.

In the huge billiard room, a group of spoiled young men were playing billiards in a relaxed and lively atmosphere.

Apart from Tao Jie and Xie Zhao, everyone else at the scene was a stranger.

Tao Jie saw her and walked over with a smile: “Junior Sister Youxi, what brings you here? Are you here to celebrate Lao He’s birthday?”

Jiang Youxi glanced at her empty hands and gave a dry laugh: “I came to see my brother.”

“Your brother? He’s really good at pool, he’s on par with Lao He.” Tao Jie smiled and gestured to the two players who were playing intensely on the table. “I didn’t realize your brother and Lao He looked so alike, you’d think they were brothers!”

Jiang Youxi could only force a smile.

Luckily they’re brothers; if they were father and son, it would scare a lot of people to death.

“Holy crap! Brother Zhuo, Jiang Xu is copying you!” Xie Zhao pointed at Jiang Xu, who was posing and preparing to putt the ball. “Look at his grip, his aiming gaze, even the height of his hand gesture is exactly the same as yours!”

With a snap.

The red ball was pushed out by the cue stick and rolled directly into the opposite net pocket.

A single, decisive blow.

The entire stadium erupted in cheers of shock.

“Damn, Zhuo-ge, starting today, your eternal status as the king of football is about to be in jeopardy!”

“Yeah, look at this kid, he’s almost as good as you!”

One by one, the young masters, all grinning and joking, put their arms around Jiang Xu’s shoulders and showered him with compliments: “Not bad, kid, where did you learn to play? Who’s your teacher? He’s so awesome!”

“My dad taught me at home.”

“Your dad? Looks like your dad’s pretty good at basketball. Let’s all go over and pay him a visit sometime, and see what the big shot looks like!”

“No need, my dad is right here.”

“Your dad’s here too?”

The group of people looked around.

“Yes, not only my dad, but my mom is here too.”

“Your mom’s here too? That’s great, the whole family are football gods! Where are they?”

Jiang Xu pointed: “She is my mother.”

All eyes turned to her.

Jiang Youxi: “…”

Jiang Xu twirled his finger: “He is my dad.”
