“Scram, scram, scram, you’re so disgusting,” Jiang Xu pushed away the so-called ‘gift’ from Lifuzhen with disdain.

It was a pair of socks that she had worn.

Who in their right mind would want that?

Unless it were those book friends.

“Are you sure you don’t want it?” Lifuzhen tilted her head, “Once this village is behind you, there won’t be this shop anymore, you know.”

Jiang Xu flipped her off, “Once I’m gone, if I don’t contact you, don’t you contact me, okay?”

Having said that, Jiang Xu left.

Lifuzhen watched his retreating figure and giggled to herself.

After such trials and tribulations, she had finally tasted ‘Tang Monk’s flesh’.

How wonderful.

——————

Jiang Xu first went to a nearby hotel owned by his family, took a bath in his exclusive room, and changed his clothes before returning home.

For convenience and to avoid exposing any flaws, Jiang Xu mostly wore only a few fixed styles of clothing.

He bought many and had them prepared everywhere.

This way, it was convenient for Jiang Xu to change at any time without exposing any flaws.

He really was a man full of schemes.

When he got home, An Nuonuo had already prepared a hot meal.

Seeing Jiang Xu, she ran over, “You’re back, Brother Xu, just wash your hands and we can eat.”

Seeing An Nuonuo’s bright and lively face, Jiang Xu felt a twinge of guilt in his heart.

Sigh.

In the future, he would give her more ‘nutrients’.

To ensure her beauty lasted forever.

After dinner, An Nuonuo went to bathe the three children.

After the children had bathed, they went to their own rooms to read.

This was a task arranged by Jiang Xu, who required them to read for at least an hour every day.

After finishing up her chores, An Nuonuo came into the living room and snuggled into Jiang Xu’s arms.

She had just taken a bath and smelled fragrant.

A pair of prison guards peeked out.

Under the light, her toes looked like little pearls.

An Nuonuo tilted her head up to look at Jiang Xu, “Brother Xu, there’s something I need to talk to you about.”

“Mhm,” Jiang Xu played with the pearls, a bit distracted, “Go ahead.”

An Nuonuo spoke up, “This afternoon, I video-called Mrs. Lan, and she is interested in arranging a betrothal with us.”

Jiang Xu suddenly became alert, “Arrange what betrothal?”

An Nuonuo, “She wants her son to have a child betrothal with either Shi Yao or Zhiruo.”

Mrs. Lan was the wife of the head of Jade Country.

Jade Country was very close to Agricultural Country but much smaller in size.

But it was very rich.

The jade industry in that country, especially the raw materials, was thriving.

The head of Jade Country and his wife had a rather good relationship with Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo.

Mrs. Lan had one son, three years older than Jiang Xu’s daughters, and three daughters.

If there were no more children, Jade Country would definitely be handed over to this eldest son in the future.

Status-wise, her son was a match for Jiang Xu’s daughters; there was no problem with that.

But Jiang Xu immediately shook his head, “Reject it. My kids won’t be involved in child betrothals; you should know my stance.”

“I know,” An Nuonuo murmured softly, “I didn’t agree, just that, from some information I’ve received, Mrs. Lan doesn’t seem to be just talking.

She has made a series of preparations.

I suspect that if we refuse her, it could lead to conflict, even combat.”

Jiang Xu waved his hand, unconcerned, “Jade Country may be rich, but they can’t compare to our overall power, unless… they have external support and want to divide us…”

Before he could finish, they exchanged a glance, the gravity in their eyes growing heavier by the moment.

Indeed.

It was very possible.

Although the relationship between the two families was still fairly good, with plenty of business dealings to boot,

the possibility of betrayal for a significantly large interest was always there, even among those with blood ties.

“We need to take precautionary measures in advance,” Jiang Xu said gravely.

Over the past few years, he had made a lot of money.

Naturally, this had attracted the attention of a slew of wolves and leopards.

Especially the beautiful ones.

Jiang Xu immediately dispatched people to gather relevant information.

An Nuonuo got up silently and went to the kitchen to prepare some food.

Whenever something like this happened, Jiang Xu would definitely have to stay up all night, overseeing everything personally.

She couldn’t help much in this regard; the only thing she could do was ensure that logistics ran smoothly.

Over the years, Jiang Xu had also secretly woven a vast and dense intelligence network.

It spread across the globe.

It wasn’t for profit, and he had no intention of harming anyone, but simply for the sake of self-preservation.

At this moment, with a series of Jiang Xu’s covert orders, this hitherto hidden intelligence agency quietly sprang into action.

One by one, pieces of information, by various means, converged at the intelligence center of Agricultural Country.

After being refined, they were sent to Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu watched unblinkingly as the latest intelligence was compiled and displayed on his computer.

He had guessed right, after all.

But only half right.

It was true that the Jade Country harbored ill intentions, but they had nothing to do with the beautiful ones.

Instead, Jade Country had secretly colluded with Lu Country, its neighbor.

Lu Country had a large population but was very poor.

Its advantage was that its people were very fierce.

One had money but few people.

The other had no money but a population surplus.

The two could complement each other.

Jiang Xu figured these two guys had been coveting Agricultural Country for more than a day or two.

Jiang Xu stroked his chin, pondering his strategy.

A direct fight?

That was clearly not an option.

What era was it now, after all? A war would lead to huge losses.

Even if they won, reconstruction would be a major hassle.

“How’s it going?” An Nuonuo came over with a bowl of mutton soup.

It was already past four in the morning.

Having focused on the screen for a long time,

Jiang Xu’s eyes were filled with bloodshot veins.

Hearing the sound, Jiang Xu turned around, looked at her, and briefly explained the situation.

“I’ll think of a strategy for you,” An Nuonuo said with eyes full of concern, “You should drink some soup first, replenish what you’ve expended.”

“Alright.” Jiang Xu picked up the mutton soup and drank it slowly and steadily.

Dealing with such a crisis was highly draining on the mind.

The soup warmed his stomach, and the heat quickly spread outwards.

His fatigue was significantly dispelled.

An Nuonuo stared at the strings of data and intelligence on the screen, thoughtfully.

She was not just a decorative vase.

She almost matched Jiang Xu’s high school examination scores,

was extremely quick to learn, had top-notch comprehension, and had even created the world’s most powerful mobile operating system to date.

Her brilliance was merely overshadowed by Jiang Xu.

However, to think she was not capable would be a grave mistake.

The development of Agricultural Country, to say the least, owed a third of its success to An Nuonuo.

Jiang Xu took another third, and the remainder was due to the various types of support provided by Jiang Xiaoyan.

“I’ve got it,” An Nuonuo said after several minutes of intense thinking, a shallow smile appearing on her lips, “I know how to solve this crisis.”
