Chapter 55

"!" Gu Jiangkuo said hesitantly, "No need."

How could he dare to speak out? He had just calmed down a little because of the discussion about the will, but with just one look at him and the sound of his voice so close, Gu Jiangkuo lost control again.

I must be hideous and ugly now.

He wished he could hide himself in the bubble forever, not daring him to see his ugly appearance.

"I'm not being polite," Young Master Jiang said in a commanding tone, "Go get it."

However, for the first time in his life, Gu Jiangkuo disobeyed his order, and his whole body turned red again at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then he dived and flew far away as if escaping. His arms and legs were long, and the water splashed by his movements was quite considerable.

Jiang Nuo was caught off guard and had water splashed all over his head and face.

“…………”

When he wiped his face and reluctantly opened his eyes, he saw that Gu Jiangkuo had already hidden far away on the other side of the oversized bathtub, only two or three meters away from him.

"..." Young Master Jiang wiped his face expressionlessly. "Is he really that scary? Why is he hiding from me like I'm a monster?"

Gu Jiangkuo felt that his patience had reached its limit. Just one more step, just one more time, and he would not be able to control the delusions that had been suppressed for too long and would do something wrong.

If he followed his heart now, regardless of the consequences, what would happen to him? He certainly wouldn't be able to stay with Xiao Nuo like he did now. Xiao Nuo might dislike him from then on, or maybe... No, no. Gu Jiangkuo pinched himself hard to stay awake. Even if Xiao Nuo didn't dislike him, he couldn't do that.

He didn't want a nameless pleasure. If there was a real possibility between the two of them, he hoped to get consent first, hoped that they would be in love with each other, hoped that he would have enough strength and a matching social status to stand by Xiao Nuo confidently. He hoped that it would be a lifelong relationship, not just relying on the impulse of hormones and overwhelming physical strength, in this pool of water...

The young master was such a high-ranking and favored child, he didn't want to give him such an undignified beginning.

However, at this time, Jiang Xiaonuo was splashed with water. Although she wiped her face clean, her head and shoulders were covered with dense pink bubbles. Even her eyelashes and lip beads were covered with water vapor. She looked innocent and soft, like a delicious dessert.

“…” Gu Jiangkuo’s Adam’s apple rolled violently.

The scene before him eroded his increasingly fragile sanity bit by bit, but he didn't dare to show any signs of danger in front of him, and had no way to escape.

Gu Jiangkuo almost pinched his legs until they turned blue.

"Forget it." At this time, Young Master Jiang suddenly compromised, "If you don't want to rub my back, then don't rub it."

He muttered silently in his heart: Why do you act like that, as if I want to torture you by force.

Hearing this, the tense string in Gu Jiangkuo's heart suddenly relaxed, even his muscles relaxed a little, but he still didn't dare to look at Jiang Nuo.

From Young Master Jiang's perspective, you can see his three-dimensional profile, high nose bridge, red ears and suddenly relaxed shoulders.

Are you so relieved that you won't let him go ashore?

Jiang Nuo suddenly had an idea, and his heart sank slowly: He understood!

Gu Jiangkuo, as expected, there was something wrong with him! He wasn't shy, but he didn't dare show it to others! He didn't dare show his damaged body to others!

At this time, Young Master Jiang still didn't know how wrong he was. He was still thinking seriously about whether he should secretly find an old Chinese doctor and recommend him to Gu Jiangkuo without making a fuss.

After all, if a man has a disability in that area, he is too pitiful. Even if he is rich enough to rival a country, what fun is there in life?

Throughout the second half, Jiang Nuo was lost in thought and filled with pity for Gu Jiangkuo, so much so that when he finished washing, he only symbolically asked Gu Jiangkuo if he wanted to come out with him, and sure enough, he got a negative answer!

Gu Jiangkuo didn't even dare to raise his head, and said in a muffled voice: "I'll soak for a while longer."

"Okay." Jiang Nuo sighed inwardly, then stood up and climbed out of the sunken bathtub. Above the bathtub was the starry sky, and against the dark sky, a bright moon was visible. Gu Jiangkuo couldn't help but raise his head quietly as the water sounded. He forced himself to look at the bright white moon, but his gaze eventually fell on the moon in his heart.

The moon is white, and the cloud pavilion is exquisite and slender.

.

Jiang Nuo didn't know that in other people's eyes, she was so perfect and charming that she was almost as beautiful as Chang'e. She stepped on the floor, left a trail of footprints, picked up a bath towel, and closed the partition door.

After drying it, he said to Gu Jiangkuo through the frosted glass, "I'm going to sleep first. You can soak in the bath as long as you want. There's no rush!"

Gu Jiangkuo must be embarrassed to come out because I am here.

Jiang Nuo thought so, and was touched by her own thoughtfulness. Then, with her body soaked in the fragrant scent of rose honey and peach, she stepped on the soft carpet and went to her bed.

Young Master Jiang remembered that he played with his phone for a long time and even looked up some traditional Chinese medicine remedies for "strengthening the body" before putting down his phone and going to sleep. Even so, he didn't hear any noises from the bathroom until he was almost asleep.

Tsk, it's so late, and Gu Jiangkuo dares to come out of the water. How low is his self-esteem? It's really pitiful.

.

The next morning, Young Master Jiang was awakened by his biological clock, but he did not rush downstairs to have breakfast.

It was still early for his scheduled meeting with Wang Weiguo, so he thought for a moment and called his private doctor. The Jiang family's private doctor would treat minor illnesses like colds and fevers, gastrointestinal discomfort, and minor skin injuries that didn't require a visit to a tertiary hospital.

Although he only treated minor ailments, he was actually a formidable expert in both Chinese and Western medicine. Mr. Jiang briefly described his condition—not forgetting to emphasize that he was a friend—and the doctor said, "It would be best if you, no, your friend, could come in for a face-to-face consultation so I can prescribe the right medicine."

Jiang Nuo said worriedly, "It's just that he has too much self-esteem and doesn't want others to know, so it's hard to deal with. Is there any prescription that can be prescribed directly without side effects?"

"All medicines are toxic. No doctor would dare prescribe purgatives without seeing the patient. You'd better, uh, advise your friend to see a doctor properly and not feel any psychological burden," the private doctor said. "If you're really embarrassed to go, you can try dietary supplements. I'll recommend some foods that will strengthen your body and replenish your energy. Eat them regularly and don't worry about the side effects. Even if you're not sick, they'll be fine. After a few months, you'll definitely be strong and healthy."

Let's try our best to save the situation. Jiang Nuo said, "Please make a list of what you mentioned and send it to my email."

"Okay, Mr. Jiang." The doctor thought about it and couldn't help but persuade, "After all, diet therapy is just the icing on the cake. The treatment effect is effective. If you are free, Mr. Jiang, it would be best for you to come in person."

"…It's not me! It's really my friend!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, I understand, I understand."

Jiang Nuo: “…” You know nothing!

Finally, Jiang Nuo received the food list from his private doctor. He modified it slightly, deleted all the words related to "yang" and "disease", and forwarded it to Aunt Mei. Then he went downstairs and told her in person that he lied that he had been craving these foods recently and asked her to buy more when cooking.

Only after getting in the car did Jiang Nuo glance at Gu Jiangkuo quietly, thinking: When you become rich in the future, you really should repay me well. You don't know what I have sacrificed for you! What I have endured for you! If that doctor is a big mouth and this gets out, I will have a hard time finding a boyfriend in the future!

Gu Jiangkuo noticed Jiang Nuo's gaze, and before he could say anything, his ears turned red and he whispered, "Xiao Nuo, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Jiang Nuo said. "From now on, whenever you're free, try to come home for dinner."

"...Okay!" Gu Jiangkuo was stunned for half a second, then spoke loudly as if responding to an order from his superior, with the corners of his mouth curled up.

"..." Jiang Nuo began to doubt whether he was really related to the Nanyang Gu family. Why didn't he look like the son of a wealthy noble who had been away from home? Instead, he looked like the stupid son of a landlord.

.

Gu Jiangkuo first sent Jiang Nuo to the designated location agreed upon with Wang Weiguo - the same private teahouse as yesterday.

That teahouse had good service, a nice environment, and reasonable prices. In short, it didn't look like a place for interrogation at all. Even so, Gu Jiangkuo was still worried and asked repeatedly, "Do you really not need me to accompany you?"

"No need," Jiang Nuo said flatly, "Go and do your thing. I've already told the legal department to send a lawyer to accompany you. Let's get this done together while we have time today."

Only then did Gu Jiangkuo return to the parking lot, looking back every few steps, and obediently started the Cayenne.

Wang Weiguo was waiting in the hall. The hall of the teahouse was antique and luxurious. It was obviously not a place where working-class people like Wang Weiguo would spend money.

The waiters here have long developed a keen eye. They can tell whether a customer is their target customer just by looking at his or her attire. Therefore, apart from the waiter pouring him a free glass of water at the beginning, no one paid any attention to him. Wang Weiguo became more and more uncomfortable as he waited.

Until Young Master Jiang finally arrived, he looked down at him and said without any emotion, "Mr. Wang, we meet again."

Gu Jiangkuo has always been worried that his unreasonable uncle would bully Jiang Nuo, but he didn't know that as soon as Young Master Jiang appeared, he used his "aura of a rich man" to carry out an inhumane crushing of his strength.

So much so that when they entered the box and started talking about the main topic, Wang Weiguo still sat upright. If you didn't know, you would think that he was not facing a young man under 20 years old, but the big leader of their unit.

Some people are just like this, they naturally fear people with higher social status.

As a reincarnation expert, Jiang Nuo had already taken advantage of this. So he was confident that he could get the answer that his nephew, Gu Jiangkuo, couldn't.

"Where on earth did Gu Min come from? What do you know?"

"I really don't know," Wang Weiguo said awkwardly, pinching Mr. Jiang's business card. "Are you really the president of Jiang Group?"

"If you don't believe me, you can check it on your phone right now," Jiang Nuo listed a few financial magazines and a former livelihood program. "There aren't many shots, but they're enough to confirm it."

In fact, there is no need to confirm.

At that time, he had a quarrel with Da Jiang in front of this young master Jiang, and his son was fired from Jiang's company. At that time, he speculated that this half-grown child surnamed Jiang might have some connection with the Jiang Group, or even be a relative of the president.

Now that I think about it, how close a relative must he be to fire a signed employee with just one sentence?

Although he thought so, Wang Weiguo still quietly opened the webpage to check.

Mr. Jiang was very patient. While he was looking up the question, he slowly said, "Uncle Wang, you work at the XX Bureau, right? Your top leader, Director Hu, can drink quite well and plays table tennis well too. We even drank together at a dinner party a few days ago. I heard your company is enforcing attendance?"

Wang Weiguo lost his grip and nearly dropped his phone. The screen was showing a photo of Jiang Nuo from a previous interview. He wiped his sweat off his forehead and gave a thumbs-up. "Mr. Jiang, you have such a wide network of contacts. You're worthy of being the CEO of a major company."

"It's nothing. I'm just a big taxpayer every year and often get commended, so I know more leaders in the system. It's also because I like making friends. Look, I got to know you again today, uncle. When I meet Director Hu for dinner next time, we can go together," Jiang Nuo said. "By the way, I asked you a question just now, but you haven't answered it yet?"

Wang Weiguo swallowed and whispered, "Actually, when Gu Min came to my house, he was already a teenager. My mother said he had fled from the south because his hometown was hit by a disaster, but his accent didn't sound like a southerner."
