Chapter 131
Jiang Nuo's ears turned red instantly, and she stopped struggling. Instead, because of Gu Jiangkuo's shaking, she reached out and hugged his neck tightly.
No wonder experts say that the sexiest part of the human body is not some places that Jinjiang prohibits writing about, but the brain. The words just now burned in his ears, and Master Jiang couldn't help but associate them, thinking of many "inharmonious harmonious pictures".
Knowing that his face should have turned even redder, Mr. Jiang simply buried his head in Gu Jiangkuo's chest and acted like an ostrich.
Never mind. No one saw it, so it’s not embarrassing.
Gu Jiangkuo, like a worm in his heart, walked briskly, saying, "There's only a construction site nearby. There's no one on this road. Don't worry."
It must be said that this hug gave Master Jiang's legs a timely rest after a day of hard work. By the time he got in the car, his fatigue had dissipated a lot.
I feel more energized to face what's next.
Dinner was naturally arranged in accordance with Mr. Jiang's usual style, at a very stylish restaurant where the average consumption per person exceeded four figures. This was a home meal with exquisite ingredients and a good environment. It was quiet and upscale, suitable for both discussing business and talking about love.
Gu Xin volunteered to pick up Jiang Xiaomi and Rong Yi, so Jiang Nuo and Gu Jiangkuo did not go to pick them up, but went directly to the restaurant. The construction site was quite far away from here, and when they arrived, the other three had already taken their seats.
Jiang Xiaomi and Rong Yi sat shoulder to shoulder, while Gu Xin sat alone opposite them. The atmosphere was inexplicably subtle.
Tsk, the protagonist and the bottom don’t look like they are in a relationship at all.
Jiang Xiaomi was a very outgoing classmate. Before he even entered the room, Jiang Nuo could hear him chattering non-stop, while Rong Yi kept his head down playing with his phone, completely ignoring Gu Xin's burning gaze.
It wasn't until Jiang Nuo came in that Rong Yi turned his attention to the three-dimensional world. He stood up excitedly, "Brother Jiang, you're here."
"..." Jiang Nuo's whole body shuddered, and he felt that he received two sour gazes at the same time. He used his peripheral vision to confirm that they came from the two brothers Gu Xin and Gu Jiangkuo respectively.
hiss.
Gu Jiangkuo was fine, he was just a jar of aged vinegar, and Young Master Jiang had already given up on him. However, Gu Xinke was different. He was the heir to the Nanyang Gu family, rich enough to rival a country. Even those who were not good at math couldn't count his wealth. He was also the protagonist of the original world, so Jiang Nuo didn't dare to offend him, nor did he intend to interfere in other people's feelings and cause unnecessary misunderstandings. He laughed dryly, "Classmate Rongyi, thank you for always helping Jiang Su. I should have asked you out a long time ago. Firstly, I was afraid that it would delay your studies, and secondly, I was too busy and couldn't find the time. It's rare that everyone is free today. I'm sorry to waste your time and your friends' time. Don't mind."
Hearing this, Gu Xin's expression eased a little, but Rong Yi hurriedly denied it: "No, it won't delay us, we are just..." It didn't seem right to say that we are just ordinary friends, as if he was clarifying a scandal.
Seeing that the child was so anxious that he couldn't speak, Jiang Nuo smiled and interrupted him, asking the waiter to serve the food.
——Mr. Jiang is a VIP member of this restaurant, and the dishes had already been arranged in the car.
Rong Yi was not stage-frightened when giving speeches or introducing his learning experiences in front of the whole school, but he was inexplicably shy in front of Jiang Nuo. He sat upright throughout the meal, paying great attention to his image, and ate his dishes in small bites. After Jiang Nuo praised him, "Rong Yi is very well-educated. You can tell from small details like how he eats and drinks. Jiang Xiaomi, look at you again," Rong Yi paid more attention to his manners, which made Gu Jiangkuo roll his eyes and stuff a large piece of braised beef tendon into his mouth, chewing it very hard.
It seemed that it was not beef tendon, but Rong Yi's meat.
Although Gu Xin did not succeed in talking to Rong Yi during the meal, Jiang Nuo still heard some interesting gossip: for example, Gu Xin bought a luxury watch worth several million yuan for Rong Yi, but was ruthlessly rejected.
Tsk.
This is quite consistent with Gu Xin's domineering CEO character. In the original novel, Gu Xin is just such a person, although he is sensitive, possessive, and a bit naive in his dealings with others. Many misunderstandings can be cleared up by speaking them out, but he just doesn't say anything, and the misunderstandings have to continue for dozens of chapters. The two of them hurt each other, and occasionally use extreme methods to restrict Rong Yi's personal freedom...
But he was willing to spend money.
This alone is enough to defeat 99.999% of the ordinary men in the world.
As the saying goes, a small gesture of concern is not as good as a huge sum of money. There is no misunderstanding that cannot be resolved by a tearful apology and a gift of several million.
If so, then increase the price.
Rong Yi in the book was corrupted by money step by step. We can't blame him for being materialistic. No one can withstand such a fierce financial offensive.
But the current high school student version of Rong Yi miraculously managed to hold on.
Rong Yi didn't even bother to look at Gu·Future Overlord·Xin the whole time, not to mention confiscating the gift. He kept stealing eager glances at Jiang Nuo.
Jiang Nuo didn't dare respond to Rong Yi's enthusiasm, but he saw Gu Xin's reaction clearly: the kid's face was pale. In the middle of the meeting, he even used the excuse of smoking a cigarette and went out with Gu Jiangkuo.
.
Gu Xin lit a cigarette with a sad face and handed one to Gu Jiangkuo. Gu Jiangkuo waved his hand, looking like a strict husband: "Nuonuo doesn't like the smell of cigarettes, so I'm quitting for now."
"..." Gu Xin sighed, "Why are you so close to my sister-in-law? Is it because the gift I gave you was too cheap? A famous watch is not as valuable as an island, but, but I really can't afford that much right now."
Gu Jiangkuo couldn't help but say, "For a high school student, a watch worth a few thousand dollars is considered expensive, and one worth over a million is an astronomical figure. He's not interested in it. Maybe it's because you didn't give him the right gift, or maybe he doesn't like you at all."
"Look at this. This is the Dragon Boat Festival gift I gave to Nuonuo." Gu Jiangkuo shook his wrist. There was a thin colorful rope on it, which was tied a little roughly.
Gu Xin actually leaned over to take a closer look, and then he heard Gu Jiangkuo say, "Two dollars."
Gu Xin: “?!”
Gu Jiangkuo said proudly, "He also liked the two-dollar gift. Do you know why? Because it was from me. If someone likes someone, he will definitely be happy with any gift. The gift may be small, but the thought is great. That night, no, that afternoon, he agreed to be with me... Oh, this is not suitable for children, don't ask me anything!"
Gu Xin: “………………” Who asked? !
He shouldn't have asked Gu Jiangkuo and given him the opportunity to show off.
Oh shit.
Gu Xin became even more depressed.
.
After dinner, Gu Xin insisted on sending Rong Yi home. This time, Rong Yi did not refuse. Jiang Nuo heard him whisper to Gu Xin, "It's a good opportunity to talk to you on the way."
In this situation, Jiang Xiaomi was naturally not suitable to follow them anymore, so Jiang Nuo pulled her into the car and took her home together.
On the way, Jiang Nuo couldn't help but ask his younger brother: "What's going on between Young Master Gu and Rong Yi? Do you know?"
I thought Jiang Xiaomi was naive and must know very little about the situation, but I didn't expect her to act like an adult and sighed seriously, "Brother, sister-in-law, you guys figured it out too?"
Gu Jiangkuo: “…”
Jiang Xiaomi: "That Gu Xin is interested in my classmate, like a plaster. Rong Yi was pestered so much that he asked me for help. It seems that Rong Yi said he wanted to see my brother, so Gu Xin went to pester Brother Gu, hoping to set up a party and ask Rong Yi out. But I think they are in trouble."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Nuo asked.
He was quite curious as to why the protagonist-should never look down upon the protagonist-gong in this life.
Jiang Xiaomi: "Because Rong Yi is now focused on his studies and has no interest in dating."
"Cough cough cough!" Jiang Nuo was choked by his own saliva. Are all naughty kids speaking so bluntly nowadays?
Gu Jiangkuo, who was acting as the driver, quickly freed up a hand to pat Jiang Nuo on the back. Jiang Xiaomi continued, "Really? Rong Yi told me himself that he wants to be like you, brother, so he can't indulge in love. He won't be in a relationship before graduating from college. Moreover, he doesn't like rich young masters like Gu Xin."
Jiang Nuo asked curiously, "Why?"
Jiang Xiaomi glanced nervously at Gu Jiangkuo and said briefly, "He said, uh, he likes people who have real skills and ambition."
Mr. Jiang didn't ask any more questions. To be honest, he was in a rather awkward mood. Strictly speaking, Rong Yi could barely be considered his love rival in his previous life (although they had never had much in common). Now, the protagonist, Rong Yi, had changed his mind because of him... inexplicably admired him and wanted to be like him.
If nothing unexpected happens, this will change the trajectory of his life.
From a wealthy man who relied on men to win, to a young man who supported himself and fought for his future with his own hands... Well, it seems not bad?
Although he will not have countless wealth like in his previous life, with his abilities, he will definitely have a happy life above a comfortable level. Moreover, Mr. Jiang has always felt that he can spend the money he earns more steadily and happily.
Taking a step back, even if this ending has something to do with Jiang Nuo, the relationship is limited. In the final analysis, it is Rong Yi's own choice. Jiang Nuo feels relieved and chooses to bless him.
"By the way," Jiang Xiaomi was still analyzing, "I suspect Rong Yi will be able to explain everything to that Gu Xin tonight."
Mr. Jiang agreed, but he didn't approve of a child talking about love all the time, so he stopped his brother and said, "Come on, stop worrying about other people's affairs."
Jiang Xiaomi muttered: "...It was obviously you who asked."
As it turned out, Jiang Xiaomi's guess was completely correct. Late that night, while the couple was exercising in the bedroom, Gu Jiangkuo received a message from Gu Xin:
[I'm heartbroken and going to Las Vegas to relax. Big brother, don't tell grandpa. Please cover up for me when you get home.]
Jiang Nuo accidentally glanced at the message—it was no wonder Gu Jiangkuo had to hug him even to look at his phone, so it was hard for him not to notice—and President Jiang couldn't help but mutter, "Going to Las Vegas? Gu Xin? How did he fall to this?"
You know, in the original novel, the protagonist, when frustrated, would either do a domineering act of "Tian Liang Wang Po" to vent his emotions, or go to an auction alone to buy expensive collections and then coldly give them to Rong Yi... In short, his forms of venting his temper were relatively elegant.
What's it like to travel all the way here to be a gambler?
However, Mr. Gu has few descendants, and the more Gu Xin degenerates, the greater the chances of Gu Jiangkuo winning...
More importantly, Jiang Nuo took advantage of the situation and grabbed Gu Dajiang's hand, saying seriously, "The butterfly effect is truly powerful... It seems your health is securely preserved."
