Ten minutes later, Jiang Ru ran back, panting, her eyes full of surprise.

"Mom...it's terrible! Mom..."

Seeing his ghost-like expression, Xu Jiahui quickly pulled him aside and whispered a scolding: "You child, are you trying to summon a ghost in the middle of the night? Don't disturb the guests."

Yes, she was referring to the guests.

No matter how warmly they treated him on the surface, the next second, Gu Jingshen was just a guest in their eyes.

uninvited guest.

"Mom, one...one..." Jiang Rusheng was covered in sweat and spoke incoherently.

"What? One hundred thousand? You kid, hurry up and tell me, you're driving me crazy!"

In their view, Jiang Xuxu has been studying and working in big cities for almost ten years and has never brought any wealthy friends home.

Not to mention wealthy partners, I've never even met a poor one.

Right now, Gu Jingshen looks respectable, but at most he'll only offer around 100,000.

She would never dare to guess such an astronomical figure as 500,000.

At this point, Jiang Huai also became somewhat anxious. He walked over and asked in a low voice, "Rusheng, explain yourself clearly, how much is it exactly?"

Without even guessing, just by looking at her parents' expressions, Jiang Xuxu knew that they had just asked Jiang Rusheng to check his balance at the ATM.

She sighed, rubbing her forehead.

Jiang Rusheng tried his best to adjust his breathing, but what he said was still clearly heard by Jiang Xuxu and the people in the room.

"Dad, Mom, one hundred...one million!"

Liang Yuan exclaimed in surprise, "Ah!"

Jiang Xuxu supported Gu Jingshen, who was pretending to be asleep and leaning on her shoulder, feeling utterly disappointed.

Sure enough, it's all about money.

The four people huddled together, carefully examining the gold-rimmed bank card, oblivious to the two people at the dinner table.

Jiang Xuxu helped Gu Jingshen up. "Dad, Mom, Jingshen has had too much to drink. I'll take him to a hotel to rest first."

Hearing the sound, the two elders of the Jiang family came back to their senses.

Jiang Rusheng handed the card to her mother and quickly ran to help Gu Jingshen, saying, "Sister, let me help brother-in-law."

After saying that, Jiang Rusheng carried Gu Jingshen on his back and walked out.

Jiang Xuxu was amazed.

Her usually weak and helpless younger brother has now transformed into a superhuman, capable of carrying even men taller and stronger than him!

What family cannot do, money can.

Watching them leave, Jiang Huai quickly opened the drawer, took out his reading glasses, put them on, and carefully checked the PIN on the card.

It's Jiang Xuxu's birthday.

To make sure Jiang Rusheng wasn't drunk and seeing things, the two elders put on their coats, carefully tucked their cards into their pockets, and went out the door.

Liang Yuan stayed behind to clear the table.

Jiang Xuxu originally planned to stay in an ordinary hotel near her home, but Jiang Rusheng insisted and sent her to the best hotel in town.

"Sister, I can't let my brother-in-law suffer! My sister and brother-in-law must live in the best!"

"Sister, brother-in-law, please get some rest. I won't disturb you any longer. Goodnight!"

After Jiang Rusheng finished speaking, he disappeared in a flash.

In the spacious hotel room, Jiang Xuxu looked at Gu Jingshen lying limply on the bed and suddenly found herself in a dilemma.

How can we sleep on just one bed?

This huge hotel doesn't even have a sofa.

Although they are now a "legal couple," it's only in name; she can't actually share a bed with him, can she?

"Ugh~"

Suddenly, a dry heaving sound came from the bed, and Gu Jingshen sat up on his side.

Just as she was about to get up, she almost fell over, but luckily Jiang Xuxu caught her in time.

"How are you? Do you feel like throwing up? Let me help you to the bathroom."

She was about to take a step when Gu Jingshen tackled her heavily onto the bed, half of her leg still hanging off the edge.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Xuxu stared wide-eyed at the sharply defined features and alluring thin lips before her...

She swallowed.

Gu Jingshen closed his eyes tightly to calm himself down; he had to admit, the alcohol had a strong aftereffect.

He was pretending at first, but he actually got drunk.

"Mr. Gu?" Jiang Xuxu tried calling him.

There was no response, but the person did not fall down. They supported themselves on the bed with their hands, and could still move in the distance in front of them.

She tried to move her body, and her heart pounded and her cheeks flushed as soon as she moved.

She dared not move again, for fear of disturbing the giant beast of the abyss.

They ate dinner too late and were both so sleepy that they soon fell asleep in each other's arms.

Jiang Xuxu was awakened in the early morning by a piercing ringing.

Unable to move, she stiffly reached into her pocket, pulled out her phone, and groggily answered, "Feed?"

"Sis, are you and your husband... awake yet?"

"Not yet," Jiang Xuxu answered instinctively.

Jiang Rusheng hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Why don't you two stay up? We have guests at home who said they came specifically to see you."

"I won't see you." Jiang Xuxu hung up the phone.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

Jiang Xuxu got up impatiently. "Isn't this annoying? Can't a person get any sleep?"

Years of working overtime and staying up late have made her a bit grumpy when she wakes up.

The sound of running water coming from the bathroom instantly woke Jiang Xuxu up.

Only then did I realize that I was lying peacefully in bed, and the person on top of me was nowhere to be found.

My gaze shifted to the bathroom, where the frosted glass outlined the man's silhouette.

Jiang Xuxu swallowed hard and hurriedly got up, but because she had been lying in a stiff position all night, she suddenly collapsed to her knees.

The sound of running water stopped, and the bathroom door was opened.

"Such a grand ceremony so early in the morning?" Gu Jingshen peeked out and teased.

dong dong dong.

"Sis, open the door! I can't stop this crazy woman..."

The door opened, and Jiang Xuxu glared at Jiang Rusheng with obvious impatience. "What are you doing, yelling about ghosts so early in the morning?!"

Jiang Rusheng glanced warily behind him and whispered, "Sis, what kind of friends have you made? That crazy woman is downstairs in the lobby..."

Jiang Xuxu pushed past him and walked toward the elevator, her steps a little strange. Jiang Rusheng stared wide-eyed at her from behind.

Then, he saw Gu Jingshen coming out wrapped in a bath towel, and his eyes lit up.

"Brother-in-law, how did you get those abs and V-line?!"

As he spoke, he reached out and traced the image, almost touching it.

Gu Jingshen pulled his bathrobe over his shoulder and said to him, "Don't look around."

His gaze drifted towards the elevator, "Where's your sister?"

Jiang Rusheng shrugged. "There's some shrew who insisted on looking for her early this morning. Well, she followed me to the hotel and is right downstairs."

Bang!

The door closed, and Jiang Ruyi licked her lips, still feeling a bit unsatisfied, and muttered to herself, "My sister is so lucky!"

Then turned and left.

When Gu Jingshen finished dressing and went downstairs, Jiang Xuxu had already disappeared, and no one answered his phone.

Just then, Zhang Yi called, "Jing Shen, I heard you're back again?"

"What do you mean by 'again'?"

"You just got back to Beicheng not long ago, right? We were thinking of inviting you out for a couple of drinks."

Gu Jingshen replied, "Later, I'm busy right now."

……

On the other side, Jiang Xuxu and the woman who was looking for her sat facing each other in a milk tea shop on the street.

Neither of them spoke.

After a long pause, the person on the other end slowly spoke, "Xuxu, I didn't know so much had happened. I've been at home these past few days, and I only heard about it after I finished working..."

Suddenly changing the subject, she slammed her hand on the table and angrily rebuked, "That Lu Chen is a complete scoundrel! How could he treat you like this?"

Jiang Xuxu watched her perform quietly.

Lin Tingran held her hand to comfort her, "Xuxu, don't be sad. There are plenty of good men out there. What's Lu Chen anyway!"

"He's definitely a scoundrel."

Jiang Xuxu coldly replied, her gaze fixed on Lin Tingran, and said, word by word, "He's not the only one who's worthless."
