Bai Xiaoya was right.
It would be a bit wasteful not to use the two resurrection spots.
Since it’s free gain, why not take the chance.
Jiang Xu thought for a moment and said, “Selling them directly wouldn’t be good for the reputation.
Besides, I doubt they would fetch much money.
So, how about we auction off these two resurrection spots?
The proceeds from the auction will all go to the orphanage my cousin used to run.”
Chu Youwei’s eyes turned red as she kept thanking him.
Bai Xiaoya’s eyes lit up, “Brilliant, it not only builds reputation but also provides help for the kids and brings in traffic. Multiple wins in one stroke, worthy of Mr. Jiang indeed.”
Jiang Xu replied, unamused, “Quit the flattery, Sister Xiaoya, you’ve also become quite the smooth operator.”
Bai Xiaoya, with a giggly voice, said, “No way around it, who told you to be my investor now? Of course, I have to butter you up more.”
Everyone laughed heartily.
Afterward, they went to have a barbecue together, which also served as a welcome for Chu Youwei into their big family.
For food safety, Jiang Xu had bought a riverside establishment a few months ago.
It was five storeys tall.
The first and second floors were buffet, the third and fourth served Cantonese cuisine while the fifth floor and rooftop were for barbecue.
Every day, all food had to go through specialized equipment checks.
All the management staff were his trusted aides.
Jiang Xu had reserved the rooftop in advance.
The group arrived, with Jiang Xu taking charge of the grill himself.
The girls gathered, chattering about which skincare products were effective and sharing beauty tips.
All four girls had pleasant personalities and were kind-hearted, which was why they could come together.
They got along harmoniously, without any scheming against each other.
Jiang Xu watched their joyous interactions and smiled knowingly.
“Sister~” An Nuonuo spoke to Chu Youwei, “You’ll be graduating soon, right?”
“Yes,” Chu Youwei lightly touched the hair falling across her forehead, her voice gentle, “before I know it, I’ll also be entering society.”
“So sister, do you want to work in your field or enter the entertainment industry?”
“I’ll choose to enter show business,” Chu Youwei glanced at Jiang Xu, then looked away, “If my brother-in-law agrees, I would like to join his company. I need money to give the kids in the orphanage a better life.”
Everything she had was given by the orphanage.
Now that she was grown up, naturally, she wanted to give back generously.
“That’s certainly no problem,” An Nuonuo said happily, “Once sister becomes the lead actress, how about I act alongside you?”
“Sure, with our sisterly unity, we’ll star in a globally sensational blockbuster.”
Bai Xiaoya interjected, “Then please count me in as well.”
Wang Xiaoyuan raised her hand, “Me too, let me play a high school student.”
Jiang Xu: “I’m afraid that won’t do; you’d be more suitable playing a teacher.”
Wang Xiaoyuan was enraged, “Nice one, Jiang Xu, so you think I’m old as well!”
Jiang Xu shrugged, “No no no, Sister Xiaoyuan, it’s called being mature.”
Bai Xiaoya: “Low EQ: You’re getting old. High EQ: You’re called mature.”
Everyone burst into laughter once more, except Wang Xiaoyuan, whose cheeks puffed out in annoyance.
The barbecue lasted until nearly one o’clock in the morning.
Everyone had a bit of alcohol.
Chu Youwei didn’t drink, but after just one glass her cheeks were as red as a monkey’s butt, and she was swaying as she walked.
“Brother~” An Nuonuo, supporting Chu Youwei, said to Jiang Xu, “Can sister stay with us?”
“That’s definitely not happening,” Jiang Xu refused outright.
Seeing An Nuonuo looking somewhat disappointed, he added, “The house behind ours is still vacant; our sister can stay there.”
An Nuonuo was overjoyed, “You are the best, Brother.”
Jiang Xu had already called for a car and sent everyone home one by one.
After arriving home, An Nuonuo said she wanted to sleep with Chu Youwei that night.
The two sisters now wished they could stick together 24 hours a day as they had endless things to talk about.
Jiang Xu felt a bit jealous, but he did not oppose it.
After returning home and washing up, he lay down and fell asleep.
Whereas after An Nuonuo and Chu Youwei had washed up and put on their pajamas, they lay in bed chatting.
Both sisters were wearing rather conservative pajamas, but these could hardly conceal their sexy and hot figures.
Both sisters had that super ‘S’ type of figure.
Placed together, the visual impact they caused was simply too great.
“Sister, do you have a boyfriend?” An Nuonuo laid her head on Chu Youwei’s arm, with her left hand wrapped around her waist, “Sister, you smell so good.”
“Not yet,” Chu Youwei gently stroked her sister’s hair, her face full of indulgence, “Between life and studies, I’m already too pressed for breath. How would I have time for a relationship?”
An Nuonuo thought about it and felt it made sense.
“Then, sister, don’t you have any guy that makes your heart flutter?”
A trace of memory and pain crossed Chu Youwei’s eyes, “There was…”
“Tell me about him, what’s he like?”
Chu Youwei originally did not want to bring up that past.
But since her sister wanted to hear it, she told her the story.
“He was a year ahead of me at school, really gentle and sunny too.”
“He pursued me for half a year, and just when I was moved by him and ready to accept him.”
“I discovered by accident that he had approached me with ulterior motives.”
“He wanted to seduce me to go abroad and sell me off to a wealthy foreigner for a high price.”
After that incident, Chu Youwei all but sealed her heart with concrete.
The only time she had ever taken an interest in someone, she had nearly faced a calamity.
She devoted herself entirely to her studies and working to make money.
Love was just too luxurious for a girl like her, who had neither a father nor a mother.
“How could there be such a despicable man!” An Nuonuo felt both angry and heartbroken, “Where is that man now?”
Chu Youwei sighed, “Perhaps it is karma, but he died on the spot last year after hitting a utility pole while drunk driving in the middle of the night.”
An Nuonuo consoled her, “Sister, don’t worry, you will definitely find someone who only has eyes for you in the future, just like Brother Xu.”
“Mr. Jiang is indeed a rare good man,” praised Chu Youwei.
“Of course, Brother Xu is really, really good. Sister, let me tell you…”
An Nuonuo became incredibly excited at the mention of Jiang Xu, chattering nonstop.
Chu Youwei wore a smile, quietly listening, chiming in from time to time.
After who knows how long, An Nuonuo drifted off to sleep.
Seeing her sister’s peaceful sleeping face after she had fallen asleep brought Chu Youwei great contentment.
She gently withdrew her hand and covered her sister with the quilt.
Lights out, sleep time.
The next day.
Jiang Xu woke up on time and then realized he was feeling very uncomfortable.
This discomfort could only be eased by An Nuonuo.
It so happened that he had been accumulating for a few days now, and he was already full.
Thus, he sent her a message.
The content was brief: Rush to the bedroom, there’s a big problem!
