64 Chapter 64 Dad, what are you doing with the stick?

In the living room.

Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo looked at each other, saying nothing.

The atmosphere was a bit eerie.

The look An Nuonuo gave Jiang Xu was filled with anger and a sense of being wronged.

She was enraged in her extreme anger.

Time rewinds to five minutes ago.

Not finding An Nuonuo downstairs, Jiang Xu had run up to the second floor.

Who knew that as soon as he got upstairs, he would see An Nuonuo actually mending clothes.

While she was working, her top was accidentally torn.

So, she grabbed a needle and thread.

She sneaked upstairs when no one was around, intending to sew it up.

Who knew that Jiang Xu would run up just as she was halfway through.

What happened afterward was predictable even for those without brains.

And so, the scene at the beginning unfolded.

"Ahem!" Jiang Xu scratched his head: "I didn't see anything, after all, it's so dark upstairs."

"Stop talking."

The girl's cheek blushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

She did not believe Jiang Xu's words at all.

All she wanted now was to leave urgently.

So, after saying a word, she swiftly left.

Jiang Xu felt that she needed to calm down a bit, so he didn't follow.

Jiang Xu tidied things up, and then left for his family's restaurant.

As a matter of fact, this should be the time when he should be helping out in the shop every day.

But he couldn't, as he had many things to handle.

As soon as he arrived at the restaurant, Jiang Xu directly told Jiang Shan:

"Dad, how much money do you have now? Can I borrow some?"

Jiang Shan asked, "How much do you need?"

Jiang Xu: "Four hundred thousand."

"Wait a minute."

Jiang Shan spoke, then left the room.

In a short while, he came back in, dragging Chen Yue with him.

He closed the door as an afterthought.

Jiang Xu was taken aback: "Dad, what are you doing?"

Jiang Xu noticed the long wooden stick in his hand.

Chen Yue's face was also grave: "What do you need so much money for?

Has Nuonuo gotten pregnant?"

Jiang Xu had a cold sweat, "What are you guys thinking? Am I really that unreliable?""

He realized that he had been too rash, without explaining clearly.

Thus.

He revealed what he'd been doing recently.

Including the money made from the novels, the sold copyrights, all of it was laid out.

After hearing it, the couple was obviously taken aback.

Their first reaction was, there's no way their son could be so incredible.

It wasn't until they triple-checked.

And saw the bank message on Jiang Xu's mobile phone confirming the money transfer, that they fully believed.

After which they were filled with excitement.

Every parent hopes their child surpasses their peers.

And, Jiang Xu was already far ahead.

"Good son, just wait here, I'll get the money for you," Chen Yue giggling ran off.

A son as capable as theirs, there was no reason not to support.

A family like theirs, who ran a business would often have cash on hand as a reserve.

Chen Yue took the four hundred thousand from the safe and handed it to Jiang Xu.

Jiang Shan asked, "Son, do you need us to accompany you?"

After all, carrying around that much cash wasn't exactly safe.

Jiang Xu shook his head, saying it wasn't necessary.

There was a bank located just down the street.

He'd go there first to deposit the money.

It was 5:40 now, the bank hadn't closed yet, there was still time.

Only such a reliable child like Jiang Xu.

And their bold hearts.

Would allow them to hand over such a large sum of money to him at this age.

Carrying a large backpack, Jiang Xu went to the bank to deposit the money into his account.

The total balance was now one million and fifty thousand, which should be enough.

Then, he walked into a real estate agency.

After expressing his needs, an enthusiastic agent instantly began introducing him to properties.

Currently, there were two properties that met Jiang Xu's requirements.

They had to be near a school.

And out of the two that were both residential and commercial, one was over twenty years old and somewhat outdated.

Its area was over two hundred square meters, and the total price of one million six hundred and fifty thousand was more than he could afford.

The other one was built two and a half years ago, with a floor area of around one hundred square meters.

It had two floors and a backyard of over thirty square meters.

Jiang Xu could reach his high school within a five-minute walk.

The photos provided by the owner looked quite appealing.

But he still had to inspect the property in person.

The asking price for this property was nine hundred and sixty thousand.

Jiang Xu requested to see the property.

The agent promptly drove him there on his motorcycle.

Ten minutes later, Jiang Xu arrived at the building.

The exterior looked nice, and the tiles were new.

He didn't enter immediately.

Instead, he had the agent drive him around the neighborhood.

There was a vegetable market.

And a kindergarten, a medium-sized clinic, and a large supermarket.

The living amenities in the area were well-rounded.

Jiang Xu was satisfied.

The front of the house was located on a major road with high foot traffic.

If he wanted to run a business, he could set up a stand right at the entrance.

Then he walked into the building.

There was a small yard in front where he could park two cars.

The yard had a lot of weeds, showing that it had been neglected for a while.

He opened the door.

After airing it out a bit, he walked in.

The house was already renovated.

Jiang Xu did like the interior decorating style—simple and elegant.

According to the agent, the owner had originally built the house for his son's marriage.

And he was planning to run a small company on the side.

However, he had come into money over a year ago and his entire family emigrated.

Having no use for the house, he decided to sell it.

If the owner was not misleading.

The materials used in the house which were intended for personal use were unlikely to be of poor quality.

It was fully furnished with all necessary appliances.

According to the agent, the furniture would cost extra.

An additional twenty thousand.

That was still acceptable.

He took a look at the second floor.

There were two bedrooms on it.

Each bedroom had a private washroom.

There was also a kitchen, a public washroom with a separation between dry and wet areas, and a bathtub.

Jiang Xu was entirely satisfied with the overall layout of the house.

After seeing the second floor, he came down to the first floor.

The layout and decor on the lower level were designed as office space.

There was a large open office area.

There were two long rectangular tables set up, providing workspace for six to ten people.

And there were two private offices, one large and one small, both having private washrooms.

The balcony area was also spacious, connecting to the living room.

If needed, the balcony could be integrated with the living room to increase the usable space.

After the tour, Jiang Xu found nothing to dislike about the house.

But he didn't reveal too much of his emotions.

To the agent, he stated, "Everything is all right. Can we talk about reducing the price a bit?"

The agent shook his head. "Sir, I'm truly sorry.

The owner stressed that not a cent could be deducted."

To Jiang Xu, the price did appear to be reasonable.

After all, in a few years, it would be impossible to get a place here without forking over at least twenty or thirty million.

Jiang Xu knew this well.

With external support imminent.

Jiang City would quickly develop in all aspects.

And in a very short time, it would rank among the top-tier cities.
