Taking advantage of the beauty being poor, fooling her into being my girlfriend

given everyone a heads-up in the group chat.”

“Anyone who lends you money will be opposing me.

“No one would dare take the risk of offending me by lending you money.”

Jiang Xu’s words directly left An Nuonuo at a loss.

All her escape routes had been sealed off.

An Nuonuo, deflated like a balloon, turned her head away and refused to look at Jiang Xu.

Hmph, such a meanie, I don’t want to bother with him anymore.

With An Nuonuo acting like this, Jiang Xu lost interest in communicating with her too.

He decided it was best for her to rest properly.

After forcing An Nuonuo to lie down and rest, confiscating her phone, and

tucking her in, Jiang Xu finally left.

He paused at the door, turning his head to look at An Nuonuo, who was covered

in a blanket with only her head showing.

The constant temperature air conditioning was on in the room, so she wouldn’t be hot under the blanket.

She actually looked quite cute like this.

He felt like laughing.

However, he had to hold it back, or else she wouldn’t be scared.

With a stern face, Jiang Xu said, “I’ll check in at irregular intervals, and you’ll be in trouble if I find out you’re not resting properly.”

“I know,” An Nuonuo said weakly.

Now, her only strategy was to look pitiful, weak, and helpless to awaken Jiang

Xu’s affection for her.

So he would lift the ban earlier.

Jiang Xu headed to the study and turned on the computer.

There wasn’t much to do this weekend.

He finished up in half an hour.

Just as he was about to find a movie to watch, he suddenly received a Weixin

friend request.

He saw the profile picture was of Lifuzhen.

Jiang Xu’s gaze flickered as he accepted the friend request from the other side.

On the other end, Lifuzhen sent a voice message: Mr. Jiang, this is Lifuzhen.

Yes, it was her voice.

Jiang Xu responded: Miss Li, what can I do for you?

Lifuzhen: I would like to invite Mr. Jiang to dinner at eight o’clock tonight, and

I hope you’ll honor me with your presence.

After a moment’s thought, Jiang Xu replied that it was fine.

But he would choose the venue.

Lifuzhen said that was no problem.

Just after four o’clock, An Nuonuo started to cook.

Jiang Xu told her to make less since he had to meet Lifuzhen later in the evening.

Although An Nuonuo appeared calm on the surface, her heart was bursting with joy.

With Jiang Xu gone, she could sneak out and borrow some money.

Hmph, stupid brother, thinking I won’t have ice cream? Impossible.

An Nuonuo’s stomach pain was already gone, so she felt ready to go again.

After eating, An Nuonuo washed the dishes and prepared a bath for Jiang Xu.

With an obedient face, she said, “Brother Xu, you go take a bath first.”

Jiang Xu patted her head: “Alright, good girl.”

If it hadn’t been for how she was this morning, Jiang Xu would have definitely pulled her in for a joint bath.

After the bath, Jiang Xu left the house.

Before leaving, he warned An Nuonuo sternly, “Don’t go out, don’t eat anything

cold, and don’t borrow money from anyone, understand?”

“I know,” An Nuonuo replied obediently, “I’ll just watch TV at home and won’t

go anywhere.”

“Mhm.” Jiang Xu smiled, “Such a good girl, then I’m off.”

He shut the door with a ‘bang.’

An Nuonuo quickly ran to the window and hid behind the curtains.

She waited until she saw Jiang Xu leave.

She waved her little hand vigorously, “Yay, Brother Xu is gone!”

She hurriedly changed her clothes, then planned to go out and find Wu

Mengmeng and Xia Xiaozhan to borrow some money and buy ice cream.

If she borrowed cash, Jiang Xu wouldn’t be able to monitor her.

I’m so clever.

Hmm, eating just one should probably be okay, right?

If I drink some warm milk before the ice cream to warm up my stomach, it’ll be fine.

Just thinking about the sweet, icy cold snow cones she could eat soon, An Nuonuo was very happy.

She didn’t know why, but this summer, she was especially fond of eating these frozen treats.

They could make her whole body and mind feel delighted.

A bit addictive.

“Hey, why won’t the door open?”

An Nuonuo pressed hard on the doorknob, only to find it wouldn’t budge at all.

At that moment, her phone rang.

It was a message from Jiang Xu: I locked the door, behave and wait for me to come back, don’t go anywhere.

Jiang Xu could clearly read her mind.

He had cut off all her escape routes.

An Nuonuo’s expression at this moment was: (>—<)?

However, the potential of a person is infinite.

This little difficulty didn’t stump her.

She immediately went back into the room and started rummaging through everything.

Ten minutes later, she sat on the edge of the bed, questioning life.

“Weird, I clearly remember there was change in several drawers, how come it s all gone now?”

At this time, Jiang Xu sent another message: I took all the change at home, just watch TV.

An Nuonuo’s expression now: (ODO’).

No way out, absolutely no way out.

Jiang Xu had anticipated all her moves, she couldn’t get away with anything.

An Nuonuo was like an eggplant beaten by frost, totally deflated.

In the end, she could only go to the living room dejectedly to watch TV.

Oh, my life is so hard.

Stinky Brother Xu, I hate you, I really hate you, tonight you’re sleeping on the couch, hmph.

On the other side, Jiang Xu arrived at a hotel owned by An Nuonuo.

The hotel executives naturally recognized Jiang Xu.

Hearing that he would come tonight, they had been waiting at the door for a while.

Even though Jiang Xu hadn’t asked his staff to do so.

But since they did it, he was naturally happy about it.

Indeed, everyone likes to be flattered.

“Has Miss Li arrived?” Jiang Xu asked.

“She has,” replied the hotel manager respectfully: “She is already in the top-floor private room.”

“Hmm,” Jiang Xu said as he walked toward the private lift, saying to the hotel manager, “Send more people and pay attention to security.

“Yes, sir. I’ve transferred a team over from another hotel.

Upon reaching the top-floor private room, he knocked on the door.

Pushing it open, he saw Lifuzhen sitting inside.

She was dressed in a casual ladies’ suit tonight.

Alternating blue and white, it lacked a bit of sharpness, adding a sense of homeliness.

Seeing Jiang Xu, she smiled as she got up: “Long time no see.”

Jiang Xu nodded and sat down: “Have you ordered, Miss Li?

Lifuzhen shook her head: “Not yet, you decide.”

Jiang Xu ordered a few signature dishes of the place.

After the waiter left, he looked directly at this legendary woman: “Miss Li, let’s get straight to the point, what is the reason for seeing me?

“Mr. Jiang is really impatient, aren’t you?” Lifuzhen chuckled softly.

She looked down at her watch: “Please wait another five minutes.

Five minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

Lifuzhen said, “Come in.”

Then, a dozen or so fashionably dressed women entered the room. Each had an excellent figure, appearance, and presence.

The oldest among them was no more than twenty-five years old.

Upon entering, they all bowed down ninety degrees to Jiang Xu: “Nice to meet you, Jiang Oppa, good evening.”

After saying that, they did not rise, but maintained their bowing posture.

Jiang Xu narrowed his eyes at Lifuzhen: “Flattery won’t work on me.” Lifuzhen’s lips parted slightly: “It’s not flattery..”
