Chapter 156: Uninvited Guest
Jiang Chenchen nodded at her, "Yeah, I'll come with you."
At the same time, she introduced Xia Changli as her good friend.
"My apartment is quite small, hope you don't mind," Xia Changli, always composed, was still a young woman in her twenties with a delicate mind. Seeing the girl before her was reserved, she became more amiable.
Bai Junwen thanked her sincerely.
Understanding the difficult s...
Chapter 131: Instructions from the Expert
Xiao Wei was struck dumb by his elder brother's unusually heartfelt farewell, and amidst his confusion, his brother dropped a piece of advice.
"Don't let men into the house."
Xiao Cheng's expression remained indifferent, as if it were just a casual remark. Xiao Wei, however, felt even more bewildered after hearing this.
"Do we sell sugar-coated chestnuts to rich Uncle Fu and Chen Dafu, or should we go and sell candied chest...
Chapter 151: His Black Shirt
Sheng Mingsi gazed down at her, trapping her in front of him to shield her from the rain.
"What's going on?" His voice in the dark night carried a cool and hoarse tone.
Jiang Chenchen looked into his eyes, feeling a bit dazed at such close proximity.
Feeling his strong grip around her waist, she snapped back, "Just a little distracted."
Sheng Mingsi didn't press further. He released his hold on her and handed her...
Chapter 126: Unforgettable Night
Bai Lu placed the tray on the table and just sat down when a slender hand reached around her waist.
A tall figure leaned in, staring at the four cups of water on the tray with a drunken and puzzled expression, "Is this strong tea?"
Looking at him, it seemed like his gaze reverted to that of a three-year-old child.
Bai Lu suddenly wanted to tease him like a child. She picked up a cup and placed it in front of him, saying softly, "Thi...
Chapter 121: It's All About Intentions
Bai Lu immediately let go of the explanation: "Just a bit of sweet seasoning, nothing strange."
Suddenly, a knocking sound came from outside.
The sun was leaning westward, its warmth not as intense as noon, but still not sunset cooking time.
They had arrived.
As usual, carrying big gifts, ready to be rejected and climb over the wall again.
Luo Shiliu held half a rack of pork ribs in his left hand, grabbing a larg...
**Chapter 146: Possessed?**
The time spent in the office and the medical room, along with the ongoing class, was almost over.
Zhu Yang sat on the sofa in the head teacher's office, legs crossed, enjoying sliced fruits. However, one of his hands was suspended and fixed due to the injury.
The parents of the other two girls soon arrived, scolded their children in coordination, and then took them home for reflection.
Zhu Yang waited for...
**Chapter 141: Brother Ah Si, Can't Wear It!**
The warmth and softness of the small hand in his grasp made him instinctively tighten his grip. However, as he looked into Jiang Chenchen's eyes, his deep black eyes slightly contracted, feeling a warmth in the palm of his hand.
Realizing that it was inappropriate, he quickly let go.
Then, due to his sudden movement, the ring fell to the ground!
Sheng Mingsi's brows furrowed, and he imm...
Chapter 116: The Emergence of the Big Shot's Reverse Scale
Distinguishing the costs of painting the interior walls separately is mentioned below.
The purchase date, buyer's name, and details of the materials bought are all meticulously recorded.
Initially unaware, Yu Fugui and Wu Xiuyun learned that the construction team led by Xiao Cheng not only built houses but also painted the interior walls. Therefore, the cost of painting the interior walls is included below.
Chapter 111: The Matter of Having Children
Xiao Wei nodded, "Made for my nephew."
"Eating is also reserved for my nephew," he added.
Knowing Bai Lu planned to roast chestnuts and his elder brother had work, both of them were busy. Xiao Wei could help take care of his nephew. As long as he looked after the child and shared some household chores, his elder brother wouldn't dislike him as much.
Xiao Wei didn't expect his elder brother to treat him like Bai Lu; he just...
Chapter 136: Can I Kiss Him?
Not only was Bai Junwen embarrassed to the point of feeling ashamed, but even Bai Junjun's eyes turned green! She was furious!
Lu Su was invited by Jiang Chenchen and was here to celebrate only Bai Junwen's birthday! Now, she, who was supposed to be the most dazzling presence of the night, looked like a clown, making everyone below laugh at her.
She was so angry that she almost overturned the several layers of the ...
Chapter 106: Making the Big Shot Climb the Roof
Six or seven tenths are in the hands of the big boss.
The remaining one or two are in the hands of people in another area after crossing the city; once out of the province, it's a different network.
If taking the water route, Jiang Zhen Gang can provide some information. He has been transporting goods on the river for over a decade.
Xiao Cheng, with slightly pursed lips, appeared contemplative.
After some thoug...
Chapter 131: Dazzling Gift
Jiang Chenchen noticed that he seemed a bit expectant, and a hint of joy appeared in her eyes. "Brother Ah Si, are you really looking forward to the gift I got you?"
Sheng Mingsi coughed and nodded. "I'm curious. What kind of gift would you give me?"
Quickly, Jiang Chenchen began describing animatedly, using both hands for emphasis. "It's a beautiful phone case covered in rhinestones, sparkling like a dazzling starry...
Chapter 101: White Dew Stabilizes the Big Shot
A bulky figure behind the crowd, as soon as the man's face became clear, he immediately turned and left.
Swiftly, afraid of being noticed.
The onlookers stopped their steps when they saw a more brutal and familiar face appearing, curious if the situation would take a turn.
"Speak, who should pay and apologize?" The man's devilish, life-threatening voice thundered down like the night.
Li Bingk...
Chapter 126: Seeing President Sheng Looking at Pictures of Beautiful Women
The three women who entered the room and saw Sheng Mingsi sitting in the center all had their eyes light up. Encountering such a handsome man was indeed rare! Everyone wanted to make a better impression!
Sheng Mingsi lowered his head to look at his phone, receiving a rainbow shower of hearts from the other end. His lips curled slightly.
What a childish fellow.
The sudden chan...
Chapter 96: After Honesty...
He struggled to recall, glancing around to see who was beside him, dragging his heavy limbs and managing to sit up.
But before he could clearly see the person, he vomited.
Vomiting continuously, he lost consciousness and fell to the side.
Later, after an unknown period, it seemed someone was changing his clothes...
Memory terminated.
The next morning, waking up, he saw Bailu, dresse...
Chapter 121: The Feeling of Losing a Billion!
The new test results were out, and Class 11's overall performance remained stable. However, the bottom spot changed hands again.
It was Eugene, the desk mate who had mocked the academic tyrant, who moved up to the third-to-last place. The boy in the back row burst into laughter, "Didn't expect that! Wow!! Two people are replacing me at the bottom! Eugene, keep up the good work! Don't give up the throne!"
<...
Chapter 91: The Most Profound Memory
"Humph!"
Bai Lu was both angry and relieved. She was glad she wasn't as unlucky as her original self, who got soaked in alcohol the moment she lay down on the bed.
She changed everything from head to toe—every piece of clothing on the bed, including Xiao Cheng's clothes.
Xiao Cheng's memories from last night also began to resurface in fragments.
He vomited... and Bai Lu changed his clothes for him.
Chapter 116: The Value of Being Number One
"Chenchen!"
The car window opened, revealing a familiar face in the passenger seat – Xia Changli.
Although they often communicated over the phone, it had been a while since they last met in person.
Xia Changli was pleasantly surprised. "I'm currently tutoring a high school student preparing for the college entrance exam, the child of this gentleman."
She introduced the person i...
Chapter 86: Flowers on the Head
This fresh and elegant response left Xiao Cheng stunned for a good 0.5 seconds before he chuckled lightly.
He turned around to go back to his room to change clothes.
Bai Lu and Xiao Wei were also stunned for a whole second before realizing, is the crisis over?
The crisis was indeed averted.
Xiao Wei sat back in front of the stove and casually asked, "How come you have flowers on your head?"
Bai Lu's mouth twitched sligh...
Chapter 111: Unusual Relationship
This section of the road, although outside the school, was slightly secluded.
Furthermore, it was very late after the evening self-study, and it was raining, making it difficult to see other people.
Jiang Chenchen walked towards the person. He was smoking and watching her as she approached. He wore a hooded sweatshirt, and even in the dim light of the streetlamp, it was evident that he was a good-looking guy.<...
Bai Lu wanted to make money, but she didn't plan on providing for the big Buddha. Chen Chunli didn't appreciate her, and she wouldn't swallow her pride.
"If you're not selling, then leave. Take the money you earned from selling candied chestnuts today and settle it on the spot."
She didn't even give an explanation.
Not to mention Chen Chunli, who had originally planned to make a scene, was stunned. Even Wang...
Chapter 106: Let Him Calm Down
Jiang Chenchen forcefully pulled the male student, pushing through the crowd towards the center of the commotion.
The onlookers inexplicably made way for them, unsure why this new student was getting involved in the commotion.
The school flower's face had been slapped with a deep red mark. She cried silently, her hair disheveled, yet she offered no words of defense.
Gu Sujiao, with her fiery temper, re...
Chapter 76: Playing Unconventionally
After Yu Fugui agreed, he began to move the baskets.
Wen Xiuyun knew that stir-frying chestnuts was not easy, so she whispered, "Don't overwork yourself. The customers behind are all old acquaintances of mine for many years. A little patience for a day or two is still possible. I've already told them."
Bai Lu nodded with a smile, "Not too tiring. Ah Cheng will also help me when he's free. Our sugar-fried chestnuts have only...
Chapter 101: A Dessert Shop
Jiang Chenchen thought the boy might be asking for Lu Su's contact information like the others, so she averted her gaze, shook her head, and walked past him.
The boy didn't chase after her but stood still, turning his head to stare at her silhouette. Under the dark curtain of his half-long hair, his gaze was gloomy.
Sensing the gaze behind her, Jiang Chenchen felt a bit strange. That person from just now seemed vagu...
Chapter 71: Love the House and Its Crow
Xiao Cheng is determined to go down the river to beat bamboo.
The water in the small river is not deep, less than a meter, clear to the bottom. Stepping in, the muddy bottom is not shallow, barely reaching the knees, and the water level reaches the tall and strong thighs.
As Xiao Cheng calmly walked upstream, the counter-flowing water separated from his legs and gently dispersed on both sides, creating a serene scene.
Chapter 96: A Trip to the Small Grove After Class
He found that he was actually the one least able to accept it, but to let her go to study, to experience more of the world, there had to be such a day.
He could still be her brother or a sponsor for a poor student. Just that, nothing more.
He should have realized this long ago.
Hiding all the thoughts in his heart, he nodded at her, displaying his usual cold demeanor. "If you can't a...
Chapter 66: She Is Still Around
In the middle of the night, the blanket was kicked aside.
Three seconds later, the blanket was kicked away again.
"It's hot..."
An annoyed murmur sounded by his ear. Xiao Cheng opened his eyes and looked to the side. The girl's serene face remained undisturbed.
However, the blanket had completely covered him this time, leaving Bai Lu with only the upper part covering her, and the lower part, including h...
Chapter 91: Unexpected
Sheng Mingsi didn't continue the conversation on this topic.
Instead, he stood up with a cold expression and said, "Uncle Chu will be here soon. I'll leave first."
Seeing him avoiding the topic, Sheng Qinghua wondered why that girl was so different to him. She had introduced many beautiful girls to him multiple times, whether it was a well-matched lady from a prestigious family or a knowledgeable and outstanding woman. H...
Chapter 86: Are You Nervous?
"Do you not know how to swim?"
Holding the steamer basket, Sheng Mingsi looked at her seriously and asked.
"Nope."
Jiang Chenchen reached out again to grab a small bun, only to have it pulled away once more.
"?"
She looked at him with confusion.
Sheng Mingsi fixed his gaze, "Then let me teach you."
He handed her a pair of chopsticks.
Jiang Chenchen t...
Chapter 65: Late Night Snack Together
After the ancestral ceremony and dinner, with the business matters settled, Xiao Cheng, Bai Lu, Xiao Wei, and others, bid farewell to the Xiao family members in the mountains and returned to the new town, the city, and the southern market.
Li Hongying and the aunts helped Bai Lu gather dozens of kilograms of snails and also gave her many vegetables and fruits as a generous gift.
The ancestral medicine wine from Grandpa and Grandma was...
