Chapter 840 - 840 Nuonuo, You've Turned Bad
Chapter 840: Chapter 840 Nuonuo, You’ve Turned Bad
It was quite lively tonight.
Apart from Bai Xiaoya, Zhou Mengmeng had also come.
Zhou Mengmeng had just finished filming her second movie, and now she was just waiting for post-production to be completed so she could start promoting it.
Perhaps because she had been tired from filming recently, she didn’t look very vibrant, giving off a somewhat exhausted air.
“Drink more ginseng soup,” An Nuonuo said with a touch of sympathy. “Although you’re still young, you need to look after your health.”
“Thank you, Sister Nuonuo,” Zhou Mengmeng replied, her smile slightly unnatural.
She could feel that An Nuonuo was genuinely sincere toward her.
This made Zhou Mengmeng feel a bit guilty.
The other was sincere toward her, yet she coveted her husband.
But it was impossible for Zhou Mengmeng to give up.
She might as well be the concubine in the future.
After dinner, Bai Xiaoya clamored to see the future princess room for the two children.
The princess room for the two children was already ready, with all the decorative materials being natural and pollutant-free.
Jiang Xu washed the dishes and then went online to look up news about Lu Yi.
There wasn’t much of a stir online.
Even though, after these years of growth, Lu Yi had become larger than Nuomi Group.
But he was low-key online, and not much information could be found about him.
However, a fierce battle for assets had already begun behind the scenes.
Jiang Xu naturally would not miss such an opportunity.
Upon knowing that Lu Yi was in trouble, he immediately informed An Feng and Fu Xinghan.
The three major capitals were the first to pounce and tear at Lu Yi—the “fallen elephant.”
The juiciest and most nutritious parts were seized by these three capitals.
In the princess room, Bai Xiaoya and Zhou Mengmeng admired the dream-like room, uttering exclamations of amazement.
“Wow, it’s so beautiful.”
“I’ve got material for my dreams tonight.”
The entire princess room was crafted exquisitely.
Inside, there was a starry ceiling and a built-in fish tank, with fish swimming around.
The whole room was pink.
There were rings of white cotton around the bed.
The bed looked as if it were floating in the air.
There were also slides and swings in the room—things that girls like.
The ceiling above changed colors according to the seasons.
Bai Xiaoya, feeling tempted, pulled on An Nuonuo and said, “Do you still need a daughter, Mommy?”
Zhou Mengmeng: “I can also be your daughter, Mommy.”
An Nuonuo: “…”
“By the way,” Bai Xiaoya nudged An Nuonuo, her face full of curiosity, “you’re pregnant now, how do you satisfy Jiang Xu?”
Zhou Mengmeng quietly perked up her ears, though she looked away.
Acting completely uninterested in the topic.
Suddenly, An Nuonuo pointed to the outside window and said, “Quick, look, a flying cat.”
Bai Xiaoya and Zhou Mengmeng turned their heads to look.
“There isn’t one.”
“Where is there a flying cat?”
When they turned back, they found An Nuonuo had run away.
Then they realized they had been tricked.
“Nuonuo, you’ve become naughty, stop running.”
————————
The next day after lunch, Jiang Xu went to visit Lu Chao in prison.
It had only been one night, but Lu Chao looked as if he had aged decades.
His beard was unkempt, his eyes lifeless.
Upon seeing Jiang Xu, he immediately knelt down: “I beg you, spare my wife and unborn child.”
Jiang Xu, shocked: “What are you doing? Accusing me, are you? I’m a legitimate businessman, when have I ever touched your wife or child?!”
Lu Chao became tense, realizing he had said the wrong thing.
In this place, Jiang Xu would never admit it.
He took a deep breath and said, “Most of the hundred billion I withdrew from the factory is still in my card.”
Only a few billion had been used for the initial construction of the chip factory in Monkey Country.
Jiang Xu was here for that money.
This was the price Lu Chao had to pay for betraying himself.
Yet, on the surface, Jiang Xu said, “What does the amount of your money have to do with me?”
“I want to use this money in my hand to buy shares in Nuomi Group.” Lu Chao spoke rapidly, “Nine hundred sixty-six billion for just one percent of the shares.”
The implication was that if he gave Jiang Xu the money, Jiang Xu would spare his wife and children.
Jiang Xu had never planned to harm his wife and children—it was Lu Chao who was overly sensitive.
Being too sensitive is not good, as it leads to trouble.
Jiang Xu pretended to think for a moment and then agreed.
He calmly took out the contract.
He had prepared it long ago.
Lu Chao signed it without even looking at what was in the contract.
The funds were to be transferred to the Nuomi Group account within three days.
After all the twists and turns, the money still ended up back in Jiang Xu’s hands.
It was as if he had made a profit of over nine hundred billion effortlessly.
And the originally affluent Lu Chao, who could have provided for generations without worry, due to a moment’s folly ended up imprisoned and penniless.
Watching Lu Chao sign the contract, the corner of Jiang Xu’s mouth curved up.
The contract had been tampered with.
He wanted the nine hundred billion funds, but he was not planning on giving up the group’s shares.
Knowing this, Lu Chao didn’t even bother to look.
Jiang Xu also made a promise not to harm his wife and children and to even take care of them.
Lu Chao’s face changed.
Jiang Xu quickly clarified, “I will take care of them properly. I’m not interested in your wife.”
He was not the kind of villain that Fu Yanjie was.
Relieved, Lu Chao knelt and heavily kowtowed several times to Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu left.
The next day, nine hundred sixty-six billion was transferred into the company’s account.
Jiang Xu immediately repaid the money he owed to Lifuzhen.
Time moved to mid-November.
The temperature in Magic City had dropped quite a bit, feeling crisp and refreshing.
An Nuonuo was also three months pregnant.
After a checkup, the twins were both very healthy.
Because she was carrying twins, An Nuonuo’s belly was already somewhat bulging.
However, when she put on clothes, it was not visible at all.
Moreover, her body now exuded a different kind of charm.
The state of being both girl-like and matronly at the same time appeared in one person, which was simply sublime.
The expected delivery dates were between June and July of next year.
Which was around the time of the college entrance examinations.
Chen Yue now treasured An Nuonuo tremendously, always coming to keep her company whenever she had time, showering her with care and concern.
She also found much to dislike about Jiang Xu.
She would hit him, scold him, accusing him of not taking good care of his wife.
Having no choice since it was his own mother, he could only silently endure.
Jiang Xu was now less involved in the company’s affairs.
He had prepared everything well.
Even if he did not appear for a year and a half, there would be no problems.
Early in the morning, as the first rays of sunlight shone on Jiang Xu’s face, he naturally woke up.
Then, as usual, he placed his ear against his beloved wife’s stomach.
