Divorce Revenge System: Knowing the Future in Advance-Chapter 917 - 670: Wealth-Scattering Boy (Part 2)

"Yeah." Qianqian replied, "What are you doing? Want to come to Xinhua Bookstore to hang out?"

"Hang out doing what?"

"Come out and you'll find out." Qianqian stood by the window and saw the towering tea house in the distance.

"How about I treat you to tea?"

Jiang Nian didn't find it very appealing, because it made him think of... He was about to reply when suddenly he heard.

"King?!!"

Xu Yuanshan's voice carried a hint of surprise. Seeing that he wasn't mistaken, he walked into the store, barely able to contain his delight.

"What a coincidence to run into you here."

"Uh... Long time no see." Jiang Nian was slightly surprised and looked behind him, "Where's your sister?"

Xu Yuanshan said, "She's in the stationery store next door."

There was no shortage of hair salons and stationery shops outside the West Gate, although they were somewhat overpriced.

Jiang Nian glanced over and happened to see Xu Shuang coming out of the store.

She was tall and carrying a bag of stationery. Judging by its weight, she'd bought quite a lot, likely more than one person could use.

Swoosh.

Xu Shuang crossed the street, lifted the curtain, and entered the store. She glanced at Jiang Nian, then looked at her foolish brother. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"What a coincidence."

"Yeah, quite a coincidence." Jiang Nian nodded, sizing her up, and asked casually, "Buying stationery?"

"Would you like some?" Xu Shuang sat down across from him, placing the bag on the table, "I'm in a good mood today, bought too much."

This is what a wealthy benefactor looks like, generous and affluent.

Jiang Nian was long used to it and wasn't polite in accepting, as the stage for politeness and restraint had long passed.

After the exam, the two would both venture into the mountains.

"Sure."

As he picked out pens, he divided his attention, continuing to assess the wealthy friend in front of him.

He'd never realized before that she was excessively beautiful.

In another ten years, she'd be taller, with a slightly thinner waist and a somewhat sharper chin.

Ultimately not fully grown, still a young girl.

"Set off in ten days?" he asked, adding, "No sudden problems, right?"

Xu Shuang wasn't surprised by his words, considering Jiang Nian was also part of the expedition ten days later.

"Yes, everything's ready."

She glanced at Jiang Nian, instinctively feeling he seemed unusually attentive to her today...

Romantic interest?

Hmm, probably not.

"Hey, do you have time?" Xu Yuanshan asked eagerly, grabbing Jiang Nian's hand, "Help me with something."

Jiang Nian didn't respond immediately, first looking at Xu Shuang. Seeing her somewhat speechless expression, he knew Young Master Xu's intention.

"Drawing cards?"

"Exactly!"

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Nian directly agreed.

"Alright."

Actually, this deal was quite worthwhile, trading with Xu's siblings. Better than the lottery, and more reliable.

The reward was small; the major gains were yet to come.

His earlier good relations with the siblings were purely to establish connections, a little investment.

Now, it's unclear.

The three of them knew the way well, arriving at a creative store. Xu Yuanshan rushed inside, speaking excitedly.

"Hurry up!"

Jiang Nian was in the middle, unhurried.

"Coming."

Xu Shuang carried a bag, which included the stationery Jiang Nian had picked out, divided into small bags.

She walked behind, sighing.

"Sigh."

Complaints aside, Xu Shuang didn't stop him. Not that she indulged her foolish brother, but because she had no other choice.

However, since Xu Yuanshan was under her watchful eye, he couldn't stir up too much trouble.

"Really... family unlucky."

"Hm?"

"Sister, what did you say?"

"Nothing."

Young Master Xu responded, then ran to Jiang Nian's side. He widened his eyes, ready to observe and learn.

"Any leads?"

Jiang Nian glanced back at Xu Yuanshan.

"What leads?"

"Aren't you looking for the Golden Priest?" Xu Yuanshan leaned back tactically, ready to listen eagerly.

"No, I'm just looking around." Jiang Nian said.

Look, this is what professionalism is!

"I understand, I understand!" Xu Yuanshan beamed, "You can't tell, right? I'm not curious at all."

Jiang Nian paused, then nodded.

"Yep."

Xu Shuang stood behind the two, occasionally glancing at Jiang Nian, but had lost interest in this trick.

She had once pondered over it, but then... gave up.

Jiang Nian casually felt through, pulling out a pack of cards, then tossed it lightly to Xu Yuanshan.

"Go pay."

Familiar formula, familiar taste.

Xu Yuanshan was overjoyed, promptly saying, "Hey, bro, I'll go pay now, hehe."

Jiang Nian stood there, lost in thought.

Hmm, kind of silly.

Xu Shuang joined him, watching her foolish brother scan and pay. She then lowered her head and pulled out a bag of cards.

"Do you think I'll win?"

In the past, Jiang Nian would offer some emotional support. Now, familiar with it, he was much lazier.

"No."

Xu Shuang: "Haha."

She ultimately didn't take the bag of cards to pay, considering understanding a fool's mentality doesn't mean wanting to become one.

"Funds transferred."

With a buzzing sound, the amount was displayed.

"Okay."

Before parting, Xu Shuang stood at the intersection.

"When the exam is held at the branch campus, if you're free, I can introduce you to some friends. They're quite interesting."

....

Three o'clock, Xinhua Bookstore.

"Why are you suddenly so generous?" Qianqian asked, holding a cup of milk tea, "Found money or struck it rich?"

"Sort of." Jiang Nian replied vaguely.

Song Xiyun held a cup of milk tea, feeling she owed it to Qianqian to say something as well.

"Want to go read upstairs?"

Jiang Nian waved his hand, "No, I've flipped through a book up there before, telling tales of strange and clever skills."

"What?" Song Xiyun asked.

Qianqian grabbed her, shaking her head seriously.

"Don't ask, you'll regret it."

Indeed, Jiang Nian casually shared, eagerly interested, a story as explosive as the day of the sheep.

Song Xiyun was dumbfounded, her mouth slightly open as if petrified.

"Huh?"

Qianqian kicked Jiang Nian, "You pervert, if you keep talking, I'll stuff you into the trash bin."

"It's what the book says, not me."

The girls continued to stroll, while Jiang Nian had no interest in shopping. After chatting briefly with them, he headed back to the classroom.

In a blink, the afternoon.

Jiang Nian checked the time, finished the questions early. After tidying up, he headed towards Jingfu District.

Promised to have dinner together, he couldn't break his word.

Ding dong, the doorbell rang. Li Lanying opened it while yawning, dressed in a silk nightdress.

The buttoned loosely, revealing the outline of Bai You.

"You're here?"

"Yep." Jiang Nian nodded, wondering if Li Lanying just woke up, "By the way, where's Qingqing?"

Li Lanying still seemed sleepy and walked in after opening the door.

"She's bathing."

After entering, he indeed heard the faint sound of water. Evening self-study was coming, so a bath wasn't unreasonable.

"Make yourself at home, I'm going back to nap." Li Lanying walked like she was sleepwalking, heading back to her room.

Jiang Nian didn't hold back, settling onto the couch to watch TV. He didn't see any food, wondering how they'd eat later.

Li Lanying went back to her room, leaving him alone in the living room.

Click, the bathroom door opened.

The class leader had just finished bathing, her hair still damp. She glanced at him and walked over to his side.

"Hungry? The food will arrive shortly."

"I'm alright."

Jiang Nian talked about the afternoon, what happened in the classroom, who showed up, what they did.

When Li Qingrong got up to blow her hair, he finished rambling and looked at the class leader.

"Let me help."

Hearing this, Li Qingrong hesitated a bit.

Jiang Nian, seeing the class leader's hesitation, assumed she was embarrassed to trouble him. So he bravely reassured her.

"It's okay, I'm just relaxing anyway."

Li Qingrong nodded, went to grab the hairdryer, found a spot to sit obediently, and handed it to him.

When the hairdryer turned on, she pressed her chest down over her clothes.

Jiang Nian: "???"

Wait, what does this mean?
