Chapter 128: I Lean On The Iron Mountain...

Zhang Xiaohui looked at Jiang Xu and said, "An Nuonuo's beauty is remarkable, and there will be countless deserving men competing with you for her in the future."

You seem impressive right now.

But...to completely grasp her, you have a long way to go.

You need to become better, and I, I can provide you with this platform to grow."

Jiang Xu shrugged, "Thanks, but Nuonuo wouldn't fall for anyone else."

Zhang Xiaohui paused, "Are you certain she won't change her heart when she meets someone better?"

Jiang Xu confidently smiled, "No."

Among people his age, who could be better than him?

Was my reincarnation in vain then?

Seeing him like this, Zhang Xiaohui knew that it was pointless to say more, so she turned and left.

It was getting late, so Jiang Xu decided to look at the unfinished building tomorrow.

He currently only had a bit more than twenty thousand left in his bank card.

Do you know how dangerous this is for a high school student?

The days of a reincarnate are hard.

Jiang Xu was too lazy to cook as well.

On his way back, he grabbed a bite to eat from the roadside.

He came back home and went upstairs.

As soon as he opened the door, a 'big black rat' suddenly dashed over.

Jiang Xu was startled and instantly went on high alert.

By instinct, he charged toward it with a tackle.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a dull sound and a scream.

Jiang Xu turned on the light in the room.

Upon closer inspection, he clearly identified the 'big black rat'.

Jiang Xiaoyan!

At that moment, she was sprawled on the floor, rubbing her rear with one hand.

She was looking at Jiang Xu with tear-filled eyes, full of grievance, "Aiyow, what did you do that for?"

Jiang Xu was speechless, "Are you out of your mind?"

"You're cursing me?", Jiang Xiaoyan glared at him.

She stood up, quite furious, "I'm just trying to surprise you.

You actually cursed at me, you heartless bum.

I even brought you a very valuable gift."

Jiang Xu, "Hitting is caring, cursing is love.

Me cursing you shows my deep feelings for you, understand?"

"Obnoxious." Jiang Xiaoyan pouted, "Alright, let's not argue anymore, here."

As she said this, she took out a beautifully wrapped gift box from the bag on the couch and gave it to Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu opened it up.

He was immediately shocked.

Good lord.

A Patek Philippe watch.

A youthful style that suited him quite well.

But Jiang Xu was unable to assess its value- he only recognized the brand.

"This must be very expensive?" Jiang Xu asked.

Jiang Xiaoyan nonchalantly said, "Not a big deal, only eight hundred and sixty thousand."

Jiang Xu, "Righteous mother, please accept my prostration."

"Pfft!"

Jiang Xiaoyan burst out laughing at Jiang Xu's banter, "I quite like your thick-skinned and cheeky demeanor."

Jiang Xu blinked, "You're really gifting this to me?"

Jiang Xiaoyan, "Mm-hmm."

Jiang Xu's mind started turning.

Jiang Xiaoyan immediately saw through him.

She warned sternly, "If you dare to sell it, I'll gut you!"

Jiang Xu said solemnly, "How could I sell it? I'm not that kind of person!"

Inside he was flustered.

This girl's too brilliant— she's tough to deal with.

He was initially thinking about selling the watch.

That would immediately ease his situation considerably.

But since Jiang Xiaoyan saw through him, he cancelled the thought.

Jiang Xiaoyan said, "I gave you a gift, don't you also have to give something back?

You don't have to buy anything, just give me a passionate kiss."

With that, she closed her eyes and puckered her lips.

Jiang Xu rolled his eyes.

He ignored her, returning to his own room.

He carefully put away the Patek Philippe watch.

He definitely couldn't wear it out yet.

Otherwise, he'd seem overly showy.

Considering the massive debt he currently owed,

Jiang Xu decided to push back his nightly rest time.

From the original 10 o'clock to 10:30.

The added half hour was to be spent on writing.

His aim was to finish writing the novel "Martial Universe" as soon as possible.

The next morning, Jiang Xu got up on time.

After washing up, he headed out.

Arriving at Fu Yanjie's house, he rang the doorbell.

"Ah, it's Xiao Xu."

Fu Yanjie's mother came out, and when she saw Jiang Xu, she was very enthusiastic.

Fu Yanjie's mother was quite attractive with an air of charm.

Unfortunately, Fu Yanjie hadn't inherited any of it.

You could only say Fu Xinghan's genes were too dominant.

"Good morning, Auntie, is Fu Yanjie up yet?"

"Not yet, that rascal won't wake up until noon during his vacation."

Jiang Xu: "Then I'll go find him, is Uncle home?"

"He's home."

"Oh, then I'd like to thank Uncle for his support."

The main purpose of this visit was to see Fu Xinghan.

Fu Yanjie was merely an excuse.

Fu Xinghan was in the living room watching TV, and he too was very enthusiastic when he saw Jiang Xu.

"Haha, Jiang Xu is here. Seeing you is like seeing myself in my youth."

Fu Yanjie's mom gave Fu Xinghan a look: "Stop flattering yourself. Were you even a tenth as handsome as he is when you were young?"

Fu Xinghan was peeved: "Why does my wife always oppose me?"

"What, can't stand it? Want to spar later tonight?"

Fu Xinghan quickly admitted defeat.

Jiang Xu was intrigued and asked about the spar.

Jiang Xu said cheerfully: "Uncle, aren't you going to the company today?"

Fu Xinghan shook his head: "Not much going on in the company recently. How's your novel website coming along?"

Jiang Xu: "Everything is proceeding in order, and it will be online by the latest, before winter vacation."

Fu Xinghan praised: "If my son was even a tenth as outstanding as you, that'd be great."

"Fu Yanjie is quite outstanding too," Jiang Xu said with a smile.

Then he added in his heart: "Knowing me, he's already better than most people."

"Oh, right, Uncle, do you know about the unfinished building in North City?"

Jiang Xu, as if suddenly remembering something, asked.

"I do." Fu Xinghan nodded: "Originally, two and a half years ago,

there were rumors that a major transformation would take place there, and the property prices would skyrocket.

Therefore, many people bought land there to build houses.

In the end, it turned out to be a false alarm.

Many people's funds were stuck there, and some even went bankrupt."

"I bought an unfinished building there," said Jiang Xu. "Uncle, I believe there'll be developments sooner or later.

If you have spare money, you can also buy some."

Jiang Xu's words immediately shocked the couple.

"You're not joking, are you?"

"No," Jiang Xu shook his head.

Fu Xinghan looked at Jiang Xu with a serious gaze.

This young lad is no ordinary person!

Despite being so young, he had bought a whole building?

He didn't ask Jiang Xu where the money came from.

Even if he'd stolen it, it was his talent.

"Do you have any insider information?" Fu Xinghan asked.

Jiang Xu shook his head: "No, I made my investment based on my own analysis."

"In that case, I wouldn't dare to rashly invest."

That was the statement Jiang Xu had been waiting for.

He said in a serious tone: "Uncle, I have a proposal. Would you like to hear it?"
