Chapter 396: Chapter 396 Speaking the Truth in Jest 1
Translator: 549690339????? 7 —
Some people may look human, but in reality, they are not.
Sure, Wang Junyue might have been a kind-hearted big boy in the past.
But after a series of setbacks he experienced, coupled with Zhang Xiaofeng’s influence, his personality has become twisted and darkened.
Now, he’s just a villain who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
The drug took effect quickly, causing Wang Xiaoyuan’s vision to go dark and her body to go limp, devoid of any strength.
Unable to hold on for even a minute, she fainted.
Before consciousness plunged into darkness, her last thought was that she was doomed, her life was ruined.
Looking at the unconscious Wang Xiaoyuan, Wang Junyue felt not a hint of guilt in his heart.
His mind was filled with joy at the thought of the rewards he would get from his master after completing the task.
With a sneaky laugh, Wang Junyue went out to settle the bill.
Jiang Xu, who had been keeping an eye on the situation, immediately rushed in after he saw Wang Junyue come out and go to the front desk.
If Wang Xiaoyuan was alright, then he was just being paranoid.
However, when Jiang Xu pushed open the door and saw Wang Xiaoyuan lying on the table, unconscious, a surge of anger uncontrollably rose within him. After paying the bill, Wang Junyue raced back as quickly as he could.
“Bang!”
As soon as he entered the private room, the door was closed.
Wang Junyue instinctively turned around.
A massive fist smashed into his face.
He immediately started bleeding from his nose.
Jiang Xu struck with great force, targeting the fragile parts of the body.
Especially there, he mercilessly kicked several times.
Last time, Jiang Xu had shown mercy for Wang Xiaoyuan’s sake.
He hadn’t expected that this time Wang Junyue would be more excessive, not even sparing his own sister.
Wang Junyue’s eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot.
Jiang Xu picked up his phone, intending to call the police.
But after considerable thought, he gave up.
This was Wang Xiaoyuan’s family disgrace, it was better to wait until she woke up and let her decide.
He picked up Wang Xiaoyuan and took her to the hospital.
“Ah, help me!”
On the hospital bed, Wang Xiaoyuan suddenly woke up, her first instinct was to check her clothes.
They were intact.
She then checked her body for any abnormalities and, feeling none, she finally relaxed.
Turning her head and seeing Jiang Xu, she asked in shock, “This is… the hospital, why am I here?”
Jiang Xu sighed, “Do you remember what happened before you fainted?”
Wang Xiaoyuan frowned, “I remember having dinner with my brother, then…” Her complexion turned ashen as the memories before she fainted came flooding back.
Jiang Xu added, “Luckily I was on my way home and happened to see you with Wang Junyue.
I thought I’d check it out, not expecting…”
Wang Xiaoyuan broke down in tears.
Only someone who has been betrayed by their own younger brother can understand the piercing pain.
Jiang Xu didn’t know how to comfort her.
After Wang Xiaoyuan finished crying, he took out his phone and informed her parents about the incident.
In the distance, Jiang Xu heard the phone erupt with harsh curses.
“Thank you so much,” Wang Xiaoyuan said gratefully to Jiang Xu after ending the call. “If it weren’t for you, my life might have been destroyed.” Jiang Xu waved it off, “We’re friends, no need for thanks.”
Wang Xiaoyuan forced a smile, “It’s just a shame that you already have a
girlfriend, otherwise, I would have pledged myself to you.”
Many times, heartfelt words are spoken in jest.
Bearing witness to Jiang Xu’s excellence, any single girl like Wang Xiaoyuan would be moved.
Yet, knowing Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo had a great relationship, she had never shown the slightest hint of her feelings.
She had no intention of wrecking their relationship either.
Jiang Xu joked, “You can pay me back in the next life, who knows, maybe I’ll be a playboy then.”
Get lost,” Wang Xiaoyuan rolled her eyes at him.
“Let’s talk about serious matters.” Jiang Xu said gravely, “It’s about your brother…”
Since it had already come to this, Jiang Xu naturally laid out all the dirty laundry between Wang Junyue and Zhang Xiaofeng.
After listening, Wang Xiaoyuan seemed very calm.
Perhaps she had already been thoroughly disappointed by her brother. ‘TH just pretend I don’t have a brother,” Wang Xiaoyuan said indifferently, “My parents probably feel the same way.”
Jiang Xu, “What about the issue of passing on the family line in your family…” “That’s easy to solve,” Wang Xiaoyuan said nonchalantly, “In the future, someone from my other side will marry into the family.
If that doesn’t work out, anyway, my parents are still young, they can have another baby and I’ll raise it.”
This is the difference between rich people and ordinary people.
Money really does nurture people.
Even in their forties, because they take good care of themselves, their bodily functions are not much different from those of someone in their thirties.
They can have children, and they can afford to raise them.
Wang Xiaoyuan didn’t have any serious health issues.
After getting an IV in the hospital, she went back on her own.
When Jiang Xu returned home, An Nuonuo had already prepared the dinner.
She approached and gave Jiang Xu a hug, then helped him take off his coat and shoes.
As they ate dinner, Jiang Xu recounted the incident to her.
“How could he turn out like this?” An Nuonuo was shocked and felt somewhat guilty,
“If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have spoken to him back then, maybe this wouldn’t have happened.”
No one could have expected this to happen.
An Nuonuo seemed a bit depressed.
After dinner, Jiang Xu took her out for a walk to lighten her mood.
The temperature was slightly higher today, and there were quite a few people on the streets.
An Nuonuo tugged at Jiang Xu’s sleeve, pointing towards the front left,
“Brother Xu, look, that old granny looks so pitiful-”
Jiang Xu looked in the direction An Nuonuo was pointing.
He quickly understood what was going on.
It was an old lady being scolded in the street by her daughter for incontinence.
“Oh my darling, you’ve wet yourself again, let’s go home and change your
diaper,” a young couple passed by, speaking with indulgence.
The woman cradled a baby in her arms.
The child had wet themselves, yet far from being angry, the mother was full of adoration.
Jiang Xu said dispassionately, “Have you noticed that in some ways, the elderly and babies have a lot in common?”
An Nuonuo, “Ah?”
Jiang Xu, “Elderly people and babies both cannot control their bladder and bowels, nor can they feed themselves, and they both can’t move around on their own.
But, why is one despised, while the other is adored by all?”
An Nuonuo shook her head, “Why is that?”
Jiang Xu looked up at the sky and murmured, “Because the ones who loved
them most are no longer here.”
Hearing these words, An Nuonuo suddenly felt a strong urge to cry.
She took Jiang Xu and headed back home, and called her parents.
Jiang Xu shook his head with a smile.
The silly girl was quite sentimental.
Seeing that her phone call seemed likely to take a while, Jiang Xu returned to
his study to start typing.
He could probably make news out of this.
The headline would be: [Shocking: Billionaire writing novels late into the night, is it a twist of human nature, or a decline in morality?]
Another 15,000 words completed.
It was almost midnight.
He stopped, brushed his teeth, washed his face, and went to bed.
In the bedroom, An Nuonuo was already asleep.
Jiang Xu got into bed as quietly as he could.
But just as he closed his eyes, he suddenly opened them wide!
