Chapter 130 The Princess and the Knight

In the alley, Zhang Anren looked back at the lights shining from several Western-style houses, and his steps slowed down.

Jiang Nansun noticed her boyfriend's unusual behavior and gently tugged at his sleeve: "Zhang Anren, what are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing." Zhang Anren composed himself, forcing a gentle smile as he replied, "I was just thinking that I should work harder in the future so that you won't be bothered by these trivial matters at home anymore."

Hearing this, Jiang Nansun stopped and looked up at him. "Don't overthink it. It's not as exaggerated as my dad and grandma said!"

"It's not because of my uncles," Zhang Anren shook his head and said in a reassuring tone, "it's because I want to live up to your trust and support and not let my princess suffer any hardship."

Upon hearing his reply, Jiang Nansun smiled and ordered, "I trust you, my knight. Prepare the princess's horse!"

"Well!" Zhang Anren forced a smile as he looked at Jiang Nansun, swiped his scalp, and then bowed to wait for her.

Jiang Nansun jumped onto Zhang Anren's back and whispered, "Actually, it's not as exaggerated as you think."

My family used to be quite wealthy, but my dad squandered it all, so we don't have much money left!

Aunt Jia used to come every day, but my mom told me the last couple of days that she might only come five days a week to save money.

Yes.

Zhang Anren didn't think so; she believed this was also one of the tests for her family.

After all, even though the Chiang family was in dire straits, they still lived in a mansion worth hundreds of millions and had maids to serve them.

Moreover, the entire Jiang Nansun family is decked out in designer brands from head to toe. Jiang Nansun's hair salon membership card alone costs tens of thousands of yuan.

Therefore, he concluded that Jiang Nansun was testing him, so he carried her slowly while replying softly.

"I understand. No pain, no gain. How can I marry my Princess Jiang without going through countless hardships?"

"Zhang Anren, don't think like that. I've never suffered much hardship growing up, and I don't want to be anyone's superior. I certainly don't want anyone else to suffer for me, you know?"

After saying that, Jiang Nansun patted Zhang Anren on the shoulder, signaling him to put her down, and then looked at him and said, "I'm just asking you, are you really determined to marry me? I have quite a few flaws and shortcomings, are you afraid?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Anren looked at Jiang Nansun with deep affection and said, "Nansun, I want to reiterate my stance to you once again."

In my heart, you are the most perfect girl. I am willing to be your knight, protecting you and taking care of you for the rest of my life!

"That's fine then. Seeing how sincere you are, I forgive your behavior in front of my dad before. I'll give you another chance!"

In fact, Jiang Nansun was also testing the waters at this time, taking the opportunity to bring out the thorn in his heart and put it into the open to see Zhang Anren's attitude.

"Nan Sun—" Zhang Anren was taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized what he meant and hurriedly explained, "It's not that I'm unwilling, it's that I'm worried about escalating the conflict between you and your uncle—"

"Okay, you've passed. If you do this again next time, I'm never talking to you again."

Jiang Nansun rolled her eyes at him, clearly not particularly satisfied with the answer.

For some reason, looking at her reproachful expression, Zhang Anren felt a stirring in his heart, but unfortunately Jiang Nansun was too conservative.

After dating for two years, holding hands and hugging were the closest they'd ever been. As for kissing or anything like that, he wouldn't even dare to think about it!

Seeing Zhang Anren staring blankly at him, with a burning gaze, he noticed that Zhang Anren was also staring at him intently.

Jiang Nansun felt extremely uncomfortable and couldn't help but retort angrily, "Zhang Anren, what are you thinking?!"

"Oh, it's nothing." Zhang Anren suddenly snapped out of his daze, trying to cover it up with a slightly flustered expression. "I was thinking about staying on at the school. If I succeed, I think I can get some of my uncles' approval!"

Jiang Nansun had no suspicions and assumed that he was thinking about how to gain the approval of his family. She couldn't help but comfort him again, saying, "You are so outstanding and popular. The teachers and leaders in the department all praise you highly. The spot for staying on at the university will definitely be yours."

Don't worry too much about where my dad and grandma are. Whether they agree or not, I will never leave you!

Hearing her say that, and how confident she was in herself, Zhang Anren felt smug. He was sure he could win the heart of the beauty and achieve success in both love and career.

Thinking of this, Zhang Anren smiled confidently and said, "For you, for our future, I will try my best to gain Uncle's approval."

"Yes, this is the Zhang Anren I like. You're the best in both life and career—"

Meanwhile, on the second floor of the Jiang family home, in Grandma Jiang's bedroom, the old lady lay on a recliner, looking at her son Jiang Pengfei beside her and scolding, "How many times have I told you? You have to be mindful of the occasion when discussing matters. Don't talk about these things when guests are around. Why don't you listen?"

Jiang Pengfei quickly explained, "Mom, I just wanted to take advantage of Xiao Han's presence to ask for more inside information. Even just a few words can reveal a lot."

It can also broaden Zhang Anren's horizons so that he can make up his mind to follow along and make some money.

Then I bought a big house nearby, but they just couldn't see my good intentions.

As a father, what's wrong with me not wanting Nansun to live so far away? I only have one daughter; how can I not be responsible for her life?

"I've told you so many times, but you just won't listen." Grandma Jiang looked at her son, shook her head slightly, and said disapprovingly, "Nan Sun's future life is not your responsibility, but her in-laws' responsibility, do you understand? Just like Xiao Zhang's conditions, doesn't Nan Sun know that?"

Since she knows it, she should just accept it. Your attempts to stop her, your supposed good intentions, will only push her further away from this family.

Another point is that Xiao Zhang doesn't want to sell the house at all. Can't you see that? If he doesn't want to sell, can you force him to?

Hearing his mother say this, Jiang Pengfei shook his head slightly and sighed, "Oh well, never mind, if they don't want to buy it, I'll buy it myself."

'

"I have no money for you!" Before Jiang Pengfei could finish speaking, Grandma Jiang, who knew her son best, shook her head and refused: "You've squandered all my money. You'd better think about how to make a living in the future."

Jiang Pengfei chuckled twice, then pleaded in a low voice, "My God, other people give their daughters houses and cars as wedding gifts."

Our Nansun family can't be compared to other families, I know you value face the most...

"You're a girl, you don't need to prepare these things. If you were having a son, then these are the things you should be preparing!"

Before Jiang Pengfei could finish speaking, Grandma Jiang raised her hand again to interrupt him: "Just like Suosuo, she has a good eye and acts quickly. What do you think she needs to prepare?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Pengfei shook his head regretfully and said, "It's too late to regret it now that it's already like this."

However, my daughter, Jiang Pengfei's daughter, cannot live a life worse than others!

Grandma Jiang shook her head slightly, closing her eyes to rest as she refused, saying, "How a girl lives in the future depends entirely on her husband's family. I can't spend my money on that!"

"Mom, I'm begging you, just this once, please, just this last time!"

Jiang Pengfei immediately knelt down in front of him, his face full of flattery, and said, "I'm kneeling down and kowtowing to you. Once I make money buying stocks at the bottom, I'll pay you back with interest. Please help me!"

"You!" Grandma Jiang opened her eyes and saw her son, Jiang Pengfei, kneeling in front of her, pulling her ear and trying to make her happy. She couldn't help but chuckle a few times.

Seeing this, Jiang Pengfei also laughed. Taking advantage of his mother's happiness, he quickly hugged her and said with a fawning expression, "Mom, please lend me a little more. I promise this is the last time, okay?"

"Get up! You're a grown man, why are you acting like a child!"

Grandma Jiang was both amused and exasperated. She couldn't help but gently pat Jiang Pengfei's cheek, then closed her eyes and said, "The savings book is on the bottom shelf of the cabinet. That's all the money we have left. You'd better take care of yourself!"

"Thank you, Mom!" Jiang Pengfei quickly ran to the cabinet and pulled out a dark red old-fashioned wooden box from the bottom.

This was still part of Grandma Jiang's dowry. When it was opened, there were some jade items, jewelry, bankbooks, household registration books, and property certificates inside.
