He Zhuo paused in his typing, then turned off the screen, tossed his phone back into the drawer, calmly started the car, and drove away.
Jiang Youxi was worried about what part-time job to look for to tide her over, but before she could even finish her worries, He Zhuo transferred the money back to her.
And there’s an extra 500,000.
In other words…
She now has assets exceeding one million, making her a true “millionaire”!
Jiang Youxi was so excited that she couldn’t sleep that night.
The next day, when Jiang Xu learned that she was so excited about the one million yuan He Zhuo had given her that she couldn’t sleep, he scoffed dismissively: “Only one million? Mom, if you married Dad, you wouldn’t just have one million, you’d have hundreds of billions!”
Am I such a materialistic person?
“It’s okay, Dad has money and the confidence to be a snob for you.”
“…”
“Mom, don’t you feel more and more at ease accepting Dad’s money?”
Is there?
Jiang Youxi thought about it and then realized with horror.
That’s really true!
“What should I do then? Maybe next time he gives me money, I should pretend to be polite?”
That way she won’t seem so impatient.
“No need. The more you crave money, the more Dad might like it! After all, he’s so poor that all he has left is money.”
“…”
Is this something a human being can understand?
Jiang Youxi tapped him on the head: “Tell me honestly, what did you mean by the post you made on WeChat Moments last night?”
“What WeChat Moments?”
Jiang Youxi took out her phone, opened her WeChat Moments, and kept tapping the screen: “Tell me, when did you take this photo?”
This guy not only filmed her feeding He Zhuo cake, but also captioned it—
My loving parents, and me, who feels superfluous.
Jiang Xu glanced at it: “Aren’t you affectionate?”
“Which eye of yours saw that our atmosphere was affectionate?!”
This is clearly a professional atmosphere of doctors caring for patients!
“But I think they’re quite affectionate!”
“…”
Jiang Xu was in a good mood: “Mom, don’t worry, I’ve already blocked Dad.”
“When did you add He Zhuo on WeChat?”
“Yesterday when I played ball with my dad, I also invited Uncle Xie Zhao and Aunt Tao Jie.”
Jiang Youxi immediately sensed something was wrong: “You only blocked He Zhuo?”
“yes.”
Jiang Youxi’s vision went black.
What a damn idiot!
Jiang Youxi reached out to delete it, but Jiang Xu quickly snatched the phone away: “Mom, I’ll delete it myself!”
After saying that, he ran away.
After breakfast, Jiang Youxi took him to Chuanyu No.1 Middle School.
Chuanyu No.1 Middle School is separated from the affiliated high school of Bojiang University by only a food street.
Besides having good teaching staff, Chuanyu No.1 Middle School is also adjacent to Bojiang University, which makes it convenient for Jiang Youxi to pick up and drop off Jiang Xu.
This is one of the reasons why Jiang Youxi chose Chuanyu No.1 Middle School.
Today is Jiang Xu’s first day of school. After the two finished breakfast, Jiang Youxi rode her electric scooter to take Jiang Xu to school to register.
After settling Jiang Xu in, Jiang Youxi returned to school for classes.
Jiang Youxi only had classes in the morning today. After school at noon, she went directly to Yue Lan Ting to cook dog food for Xiao Du.
He Zhuo seems to have been very busy lately. I haven’t seen him since celebrating his birthday last time.
Aunt Zhang said that his company has been very busy lately, and the Hurricane Racing Club also needs manpower. He Zhuo hasn’t been back to Yue Lan Ting for several days.
With He Zhuo away, Xiao Du became increasingly dependent on Jiang Youxi. Every time she came to cook dog food for it, it would follow her to the side, staying by Jiang Youxi’s side without leaving her for a moment.
Jiang Youxi finally managed to prepare some dog food for it, but it insisted on having her by its side before it would eat.
Jiang Youxi had no choice but to squat down and watch it eat.
Fortunately, Xiao Du has a good appetite and eats with gusto, showing great potential as a food vlogger, which makes Jiang Youxi very pleased.
Thanks to her persistent feeding of the dog, Xiao Du’s body has become stronger and stronger, and his mental state is much better than it was at the beginning.
Knowing that Jiang Youxi wasn’t working today, Aunt Zhang sighed that Xiao Du really liked Jiang Youxi, and suggested that Jiang Youxi stay and spend more time with Xiao Du.
Seeing the adorable Xiao Du and remembering the million yuan He Zhuo transferred to her that night, Jiang Youxi readily agreed.
“Xiao Du, let’s go out and play!” Jiang Youxi picked up a basket of toys and walked out of the villa.
The courtyard of Yue Lan Ting is very large, even larger than the residential area where she rents an apartment. Jiang Youxi led Xiao Du for an hour and still couldn’t walk through the entire courtyard.
Aunt Zhang came out carrying a plate of cut fruit: “Miss Jiang, I cut some fruit for you. Come and rest here for a bit.”
“good.”
Jiang Youxi led Xiaodu to the pavilion and sat down. When she saw the fruit in the fruit plate, she was surprised: “Aunt Zhang, why are there peaches again?”
These past few days, every time Jiang Youxi comes to Yue Lan Ting to cook dog food for Xiao Du, Aunt Zhang cuts peaches for her to eat.
Moreover, the peach varieties change every day, and each one is very expensive; she had only ever seen them in peach analysis charts.
She knew that some of these peaches were the most expensive, with one peach costing tens of thousands of yuan.
The lives of the wealthy are far more luxurious than she can imagine.
“Don’t you like it?”
“No, I’m just curious where you got so many varieties of peaches.”
Aunt Zhang smiled and said, “These peaches were all bought by the second young master. There are currently more than two thousand varieties of peaches in the market, and they are all at Yue Lan Ting.”
Jiang Youxi’s eyes widened: “Why did he buy so many peaches?”
“Because he really likes peaches.”
“?”
I never expected that He Zhuo would like to eat peaches just like her.
Jiang Youxi immediately felt like she had found a kindred spirit.
“So the second young master wanted to buy them all to try,” Aunt Zhang said with a troubled expression. “But the second young master has been very busy lately and rarely comes home. I was worried that these peaches would affect their taste if left for too long, so I cut them up so that you could have a taste too.”
“Your brother told me that you really like peaches, Miss Jiang, you should try some.”
Okay, thank you.
“You’re welcome. I’ll get back to work now. You and Xiaodu can continue playing.”
“good.”
After Aunt Zhang left, Jiang Youxi ate peaches and chatted with Xiao Du.
As expected of this premium peach variety, it has a soft texture and is very juicy. It bursts with juice in your mouth with every bite, filling your entire mouth with a sweet peach flavor.
Jiang Youxi was eating a peach when there was a sudden noise coming from the courtyard gate.
The key fob light on the gate turned red, and the gate opened automatically. A black Rolls-Royce drove into the courtyard and stopped under the magnolia tree.
The car door opened, and the man got out of the car.
Upon seeing that it was He Zhuo, Jiang Youxi paused, staring blankly at the man in a black suit walking towards her.
Compared to his previous arrogant and unruly appearance, He Zhuo now exuded a more decisive and composed demeanor.
In a daze, Jiang Youxi seemed to see He Zhuo achieving great success in the future.
He was a successful, charming, and mature man.
He Zhuo walked up to her, a smile playing on his lips, and snapped his fingers: “What are you looking at so intently?”
Jiang Youxi snapped back to reality and quickly looked away: “I…I was looking at the magnolia tree! Look! How beautifully the magnolias are in bloom!”
He Zhuo looked in the direction she was pointing, raised an eyebrow, and smiled: “It’s almost December now, where would you find magnolia flowers?”
Jiang Youxi was taken aback, only then noticing that the magnolia tree had only a few leaves hanging on it, and the entire branch was bare, giving it the appearance of an old man in his twilight years.
Jiang Youxi looked embarrassed, awkwardly withdrew her hand, and gave a dry laugh: “Sorry, that’s not what I was looking at.”
“Then who are you looking at?”
“I–“
Jiang Youxi looked around and saw Xiao Du dozing off on the ground. She immediately went over, squatted down, and tried to cover up her mistake by patting Xiao Du’s big head. She laughed and said, “I… I’m watching Xiao Du!”
“Really?” He Zhuo walked over, squatted down, and rubbed Xiao Du’s fluffy head.
“I know what you’re looking at.”
Jiang Youxi stopped moving and looked up at him: “What are you looking at?”
“Jiang Youxi,” the man said, his right arm draped over his thigh, leaning slightly forward. He bent his index finger and gently stroked the tip of her nose. His magnetic voice lowered, seemingly tender and affectionate, filled with a doting smile, and softly entered her ear—
“You’re looking at me.”
