The Mad Young Master Falls Asleep Every Night to My Fragrance - Chapter 5

The two sat facing each other, staring at each other.

“This is the two thousand you were talking about?”

“Yes, a bowl of beef noodles…” Jiang Youxi smiled, “two thousand cents.”

Just as He Zhuo was about to adjust his posture, his knee slammed directly under the table.

The bowl of beef noodles trembled from the shock, and the broth splashed directly onto the table.

Jiang Youxi was so frightened that she quickly protected the two bowls of beef noodles.

The man laughed angrily: “Did you come here to eat noodles or to be a doorman?”

It’s outdoors, which is bad enough, but the tables and chairs are ridiculously low!

“…”

Looking at the man’s long legs, which had nowhere to rest because the tables and chairs were too low.

Jiang Youxi felt very ashamed.

They arrived quite late, and the noodle shop was packed, so the owner temporarily added two seats for them next to the entrance.

Jiang Youxi often ate at these ordinary and simple hole-in-the-wall restaurants; she was already used to it.

For the young master who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, eating noodles in a place like this was undoubtedly torture.

“Senior He Zhuo, as you know, I’ve always admired you, so…” Jiang Youxi paused, her face full of “admiration,” “I still prefer to be your die-hard fan.”

He Zhuo looked at her with a leisurely air.

The little girl had her hair tied in a simple bun, her round almond-shaped eyes curved into crescents, and her dimples at the corners of her mouth were faintly visible, making her look like a lively and cute little raccoon.

Her smile seemed obedient and ingratiating, but there was not a trace of admiration or joy in her eyes.

She’s a complete smooth-talking little liar.

He smiled and said, “I’ve never had any die-hard fans. Do you know why?”

“Why?”

“Because they were all killed by me.”

“…”

Jiang Youxi’s smile froze slightly: “Senior He Zhuo, your joke is just too, too lame.”

He pushed the extra bowl of beef noodles in front of him, handed him disposable chopsticks with both hands, and said with an attitude more devout than a lackey: “I heard this beef noodle shop is good, you can try it.”

He took the chopsticks: “So, what do you want to talk to me about?”

“You stole my electric scooter…” Jiang Youxi slapped her own mouth and laughed, “I left it with you, can you give it back to me?”

“cannot.”

“Why not?!”

“I was investigated because of the car accident last night; that car is the evidence.”

“What evidence? That’s my car! I was just passing by, I don’t know anything about it!”

He Zhuo leaned back: “Junior, you were the only eyewitness to last night’s car accident.”

“…”

The man’s left arm was draped over the back of the chair, his fingers casually twirling a lighter. His Cuban-collar black shirt was creased, and beneath the slightly open collar, a silver dragon bone necklace was piled up in the hollow of his collarbone, exuding both sexiness and a sinister aura.

He smiled, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes; his teasing tone carried a hint of warning.

Jiang Youxi felt a chill run down her spine, and her fingers involuntarily tightened.

At Bojiang University, there are countless rumors about the man in front of you.

For example, he had killed people, was cold-blooded and insane, a typical smiling tiger.

What’s most terrifying about He Zhuo is that you can’t guess what’s on his mind beneath that lazy, carefree smile.

It’s even more unfathomable what kind of sharp dagger lies hidden beneath his calm and composed demeanor.

Jiang Youxi truly couldn’t understand how her future self could fall in love with such a madman!

Did he save her life?!

Jiang Youxi straightened her back and smiled: “Since I am an eyewitness, I am free to say whatever I want.”

“so?”

“So every word I say to the police concerns your future fate.”

He Zhuo paused, a half-smile playing on his lips: “Is this junior threatening me?”

He’s young, but he’s incredibly brave.

“No!” Jiang Youxi smiled. “Senior He Zhuo, I just want to cooperate with you.”

“What kind of cooperation?”

Jiang Youxi dragged the chair over and sat down next to him, her whole demeanor exuding “flattery”.

“I can testify for you that you didn’t hit that person. I don’t ask for much, just…” She pointed at his arm and poked it, “and give me back my electric scooter.”

He Zhuo’s gaze fell on her finger.

Her fingers were fair and soft, like a woodpecker’s, each poke carrying a heavy dose of flattery.

He rested his left hand on his cheekbone, his tone languid: “I probably don’t need to explain the consequences of perjury, do I?”

“…”

That bastard is too arrogant!!

Jiang Youxi snapped, “This is premeditated murder! Aren’t you afraid of going to jail?”

“Jail?” He scoffed, looking completely indifferent. “Isn’t that perfect? ​​Right now, I wish the police would sentence me to death and shoot me dead.”

His slightly weary peach blossom eyes were filled with indifference towards death.

Jiang Youxi never imagined that anyone could be so eager for death.

“You…you’re really not afraid of dying?”

I originally intended to give him a little “threat”.

That’s good now.

Her only trump card is now useless!

He chuckled, his tone dripping with sarcasm: “Your threat is far more terrifying than death.”

“…”

Seeing that she couldn’t get the car back, Jiang Youxi compromised: “Since the car isn’t an option, can you give me back my student ID? It’s not worth much, and you won’t need it.”

“I didn’t bring it.”

Where?

“At home.”

When will you bring it?

He laughed nonchalantly: “You’d have to ask me about that.”

Jiang Youxi gritted her teeth.

Don’t get angry, don’t get angry. If you get angry to death, no one will take your place.

“But you’ve reminded me of something. We haven’t settled the score for your brother sneaking over my wall last night and causing us a lot of damage,” he smiled at her. “Tell me, how should we settle this?”

Jiang Youxi sensed something was wrong and forced a smile, “Senior He Zhuo, you’re exaggerating. My brother just climbed over your wall. Your wall isn’t made of tofu, how much damage could it have caused?”

“He broke a few of my things.”

“What is that?”

A cell phone was thrown directly in front of her.

Upon seeing Jiang Xu on her phone, Jiang Youxi’s smile vanished instantly.

The surveillance video recorded the entire process of how Jiang Xu sneaked over the wall into the Yue Lan Ting courtyard, how he was chased all over the courtyard by a large Alaskan Malamute, how he climbed a tree while howling, trying to use the branches to climb out, but he lost his footing and fell. In the end, not only could he not escape, but because he made too much noise, he triggered the villa’s alarm and was caught red-handed.

The phone not only contained videos of Jiang Xu climbing the wall, but also several photos showing the damage Jiang Xu had caused to the villa.

That night, Jiang Xu was like Sun Wukong wreaking havoc in the Heavenly Palace, leaving nothing but desolation in his wake.

There are vintage-style vases broken into pieces, as well as large jade landscape carvings with a crack.

The scene was a complete mess.

Jiang Youxi’s forehead veins throbbed as she looked at it: “This is…?”

“Top-grade imperial green jadeite”.

“…It’s fake, right?”

“It’s worth 300 million,” he calmly added. “The damaged area alone is conservatively estimated to be worth at least 70 million on the market.”

Jiang Youxi almost slipped off the chair.

Undeterred, she pointed again: “What about this vase?”

“Tang Dynasty blue and white porcelain”.

“It’s…it’s true too?!”

“You have good taste.”

Jiang Youxi heard the sound of her own heart breaking: “How…how much?”

Thirty million.

Jiang Youxi’s vision went black, and her heart shattered completely along with the blue and white porcelain.

How could this kid have gotten her into such a mess?!

It took her a while to calm down before she decided to face this “bad news” with equanimity: “How much money was lost in total?”

“At least 100 million.”

One hundred million!!

Even selling her wouldn’t necessarily earn a hundred million!

“Could you… give me a discount?” Jiang Youxi asked hesitantly. “The main problem is… I don’t have that much money.”

“I don’t want my little electric scooter anymore, I’ll give it to you as collateral!” She immediately emptied all the money in her bag and pushed it in front of him to express her apology. “And this money, I’ll give it all to you too.”

“I’ll pay you back slowly with the money I earn from my part-time job,” she asked cautiously, seeking his opinion. “Is that okay?”

He Zhuo glanced at the change on the table.

They have 100-yuan, 50-yuan, and even one-yuan coins.

His expression softened slightly, and he tapped his fingertips on the table, glancing at her with a leisurely air: “If you had this attitude last night, I wouldn’t have thought about you all night.”

“…”

No wonder his face was so dark that night.

Losing 100 million overnight, who wouldn’t be angry in that situation?

Luckily, they ran fast enough, otherwise, in his excitement, he might have stepped on the gas and crashed them straight into the underworld, and that would have been the end of them!

“Hehe, look at what you’re saying, do you think I’m that kind of person?” Jiang Youxi argued seriously, “I had an urgent matter to attend to last night, so I had to leave first.”

“Senior He Zhuo, I’m so sorry to have kept you thinking about me all night.”

He Zhuo twitched the corner of his mouth, about to say something, when his phone suddenly rang.

Upon seeing the number, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he picked up the phone to answer.

After hearing something said on the other end, his expression instantly turned serious: “I’m coming right now.”

He hung up the phone and quickly got up and left.

“Hey, we haven’t discussed things yet…”

Before she could finish speaking, the man had already gotten into his car and sped away.

——

When Jiang Youxi got home that night, she hung up that brat Jiang Xu and gave him a good beating.

Jiang Xu clutched his head and howled.

Why didn’t you tell the truth last night at the hospital?

“My main concern is… that you might not be able to handle it,” Jiang Xuxiao said forcefully. “But it’s okay, Mom, it’s just one hundred million. It’s nothing to Dad, you…”

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Youxi punched him again: “It’s nothing to him, but it’s a lifetime to me!!”

“A lifetime?” Jiang Xu’s eyes lit up. “Mom, you’ve decided to marry Dad?”

“…”

“Mom, why don’t you pay off the debt by marrying Dad?”

“What, are you trafficking people?”

“Anyway, we’ll be family sooner or later. Whether you marry early or late, you’ll still get married. If you marry Dad sooner, you might be able to enjoy his money sooner,” Jiang Xu said, holding up five fingers. “If I remember correctly, Dad’s personal assets at this time were this much.”

Jiang Youxi glanced at him: “Five hundred million?”

Five hundred billion.

“He robbed a bank?!”

Where would a student like him get so much money?

“Don’t you know? Dad was the national math Olympiad champion back in the day, and he started his own business right when he was a freshman in college!”

Jiang Xu rattled off a long story about He Zhuo’s entrepreneurial journey and the hardships he had endured.

Jiang Youxi only half understood what he meant and her head was throbbing: “Alright, I’ll take you to apologize in person another day and see if we can get his forgiveness. We can settle the compensation with a few tens of thousands.”

“Mom, a hundred million! Is this something you can handle with just a few tens of thousands?”

Jiang Youxi grabbed his ear and roared, “You still know it’s a hundred million?!”

“…”

–

Jiang Youxi did not see He Zhuo again in the following days.

She also did not receive a call from the police.

It was only after inquiring that we learned that Jiang Youxi’s location that night was a blind spot for surveillance cameras, and the eyewitness mentioned by the police was someone else.

The fact that He Zhuo was able to leave the police station as if nothing had happened that day meant that the matter had been settled.

So even if she goes to the police station to report him now, she can’t threaten him at all.

Another week has passed.

Jiang Xu’s arm has recovered, and Jiang Youxi decided to take him to the hospital today to have the cast removed.

Jiang Youxi was changing her clothes when she received a WeChat message.

【XiXiBao~ Are you home?】

Jiang Youxi glanced at it and replied, “Yes.”

The moment the message was sent, the other party called.

As soon as Jiang Youxi answered the phone, a series of smug “hehehe” sounds came from the other end.

“What’s wrong? Did you have a stroke?”

“Hehe, I’m already at your door. Is the door code 908765?”

Before Jiang Youxi could say anything, the beeping sound of a password being entered came from the lobby.

With a click, the door opened.

“Xixi Bao! I’ve come to see you! You’re…”

The jubilant sounds abruptly ceased.

The hall was completely silent.

The next second, Jiang Xu’s surprised voice rang out: “Aunt Xiao, what brings you here?”

“ah–!!”
