Chapter 1245: Chapter 833: Where to Stay?
After a moment, Jiang Nian broke the silence.
"I’m going back to Yuhang."
Upon hearing this, the attention of the two women was instantly shifted. They looked at Jiang Nian in disbelief.
Setting a fire and then wanting to leave?
No way!!
"When?" Xu Qianqian stared at him intently, "Can you stay a couple more days?"
"Sure." Jiang Nian was bluffing; he never planned to leave, "I’ll figure something out."
With that, he stepped aside to make a phone call.
"Ring ring!! Good morning, welcome to China Mobile, dear two-star user..."
After a while, he came back.
"All set."
"Who’d you call? Let me see?" Xu Qianqian asked, extending her pale hand.
"Ah ha?" Jiang Nian felt awkward, so he just admitted, "I called 10086."
"Anyway, don’t worry about it, China Mobile approved."
Jiang Nian looked at them and then said, "How about we go somewhere else, to Yuhang?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Qianqian pondered for a while and nodded.
"Sounds good, we were planning to go later anyway. Might as well go now and visit Aunt Zhao."
Song Xiyun blinked and also agreed decisively.
"Okay."
After finalizing the plan, the two women bought night tickets, aiming to arrive around midnight and rest first.
To be precise, let Jiang Nian rest.
"How did you know Xiyun was leaving?" Xu Qianqian was curious, knowing he stayed up all night.
"I didn’t, just took a wild guess." Jiang Nian shrugged, "If I miss, it’s no big deal, just a waste of time."
Song Xiyun: "..."
Xu Qianqian rolled her eyes; this was exactly the sort of thing Jiang Nian would do, like that cobblestone road.
Who else would spend money to pave a road just because they twisted their ankle? Such stubbornness.
"Then go rest quickly, you have to catch a bus by the evening."
"Alright."
......
Morning.
Jiang Nian didn’t sleep; he didn’t need it at all. With a snap of his fingers, his energy was renewed, full of spirit once more.
No diamond skills, no porcelain jobs.
A few days ago, Xu Shuang had invited him. But due to lack of time, it got postponed.
Now, naturally, he had to pay a visit.
Aside from their past interests, Xu Shuang was quite nice to him, not to mention, she was pretty, honestly speaking.
Of course, that’s not the point.
They were in the same school, and would meet again in late August. Besides, they had promised to look out for each other.
In short, it wasn’t for other reasons.
"You’re here?" Zhao Yiqiu yawned, standing on the roadside and waving to him, "I’ve been waiting for you for ages."
"Why’d you come out to wait?" Jiang Nian was bewildered, "What are you waiting for, exactly?"
"Afraid you’d run away," she replied.
Jiang Nian: "???"
With ease, the two walked into the teahouse, then went to the backyard, went upstairs and downstairs to reach the back.
Xu Shuang stood under a tree, watering flowers.
Sunlight trickled through the leaves, falling on the girl. The light and shadows highlighted her fair skin.
It was quite a scene. But as Jiang Nian approached for a closer look, goodness, it was flooded.
"Are you raising water lilies?"
"What?" Xu Shuang put down the watering can calmly, "Cough cough, you’re here?"
"Yup."
"I’ve been busy selling clothes in Yuhang recently," Jiang Nian explained, though it was unnecessary.
They occasionally chatted, and Xu Shuang even knew that on the first day, he luckily made a sale and lost a few hundred.
Rich ladies finding a topic to talk about, can’t pretend to be aloof. Besides, they did know each other well.
"Yes, I know." Xu Shuang inquired a few more questions then asked, "Are you going to stay in Yuhang after?"
"Maybe." Jiang Nian replied, "Not many people in Zhen Nan these days, but you’re different."
"After all, your family business is here."
Upon hearing this, Xu Shuang replied.
"There are also times when I’m not busy."
"Uh...." Jiang Nian felt at a loss, "Aren’t you going traveling, or maybe to Beijing?"
"Not much worth seeing," Xu Shuang said, "I’ll go eventually anyway, have to be there for college three or four years."
"True." He nodded.
"It’s nearly lunchtime, let’s go eat." Xu Shuang coughed, "Come on, let’s check out over there."
Jiang Nian: "???
It’s only ten o’clock, isn’t it too early for lunch? But he didn’t mind, just went with the flow.
"Alright."
.....
On the other side, Zhang Ningzhi was fuming, "Why didn’t he tell me about his graduation banquet!"
"I have no idea." Yao Beibei was calm, the two were leisurely enjoying the air-conditioning in the seaside room.
This was Zhang Ningzhi’s place, used to escape the heat. She initially thought it was a guesthouse, then realized something was off.
Accidentally entered a wealthy house.
But having a rich girlfriend was quite a blessing; it made not wanting to work very appealing.
If it weren’t for the fact that neither of them had a driver’s license, they’d already be driving a convertible around the island enjoying the sea breeze, blissfully unaware of time.
No, it was Zhizhi blissfully unaware of time.
"But Jiang Nian likely didn’t want to make it a big deal," Yao Beibei said, "He seems pretty busy."
"True." Zhang Ningzhi pursed her lips, "Last time I went, his warehouse was empty, he’s only started recently."
"Envious, at least he can make money." Yao Beibei murmured her thoughts while looking up at the ceiling.
After experiencing parental discord, one follows rationality. No longer longing for family love, realizing instead the importance of money.
It’s the foundation of stability, then pursuing one’s own home.
"Yeah, he’s impressive." Zhang Ningzhi admired, "But we can find ways to make money too."
Both only children, Zhizhi’s family was much better. It wasn’t about finances, but attention.
People showered with love understand how to express love.
"Business?" Yao Beibei got interested, sitting up from the bed, "Li Hua seems to be shooting a film."
