Warm sunlight passed through the large floor-to-ceiling windows of the library. It fell upon Feng Nanshu. Her smooth long hair and thick eyelashes seemed to be plated with a layer of pale gold.
She sat upright. She was poised, quiet, and well-behaved.
Her slender fingers held the corner of a page. She flipped it gently. Her lively eyes were filled with purity.
After finishing the page, she picked up a shrimp cracker and ate it. It made a crisp (Crunch!) sound. Then she continued to the next page.
This cycle repeated several times. The bag of shrimp crackers eventually became empty.
Feng Nanshu reached out again. She realized it was the last piece. She looked up at Jiang Qin.
"I am not eating anymore. You can finish it," she said.
The eyes of Feng Nanshu flickered with a hint of pleasure. She picked up the last piece and ate it. Then she turned the next page.
Jiang Qin stared at her for a long time. He felt that Feng Nanshu was not joking with him.
She had truly agreed to lend him the money.
But why did he have such an absurd feeling?
'Does she not need an IOU?'
'At the very least, she should ask what I am doing with it or when I will pay her back.'
Jiang Qin possessed the soul of a thirty-eight-year-old man. In theory, he should be able to see through a pure creature like a high school student at a glance. However, he truly did not understand the actions of Feng Nanshu.
But this was normal. He had never interacted with a rich woman before his rebirth. It was not strange that he could not understand her.
Perhaps all rich women were like this.
At four-thirty in the afternoon, Feng Nanshu suddenly placed her bookmark into the book. She stood up and smoothed her skirt. She placed the book back on the shelf.
She left at this exact time every day. It was clear that her curfew was very strict.
However, this time, Feng Nanshu paused before walking out. She turned around and waved goodbye to Jiang Qin.
She was not that cold after all.
Jiang Qin watched her leave. He looked out through the large floor-to-ceiling window. Through the glass, he could clearly see the black Bentley parked downstairs.
The driver wore white gloves. He had already opened the car door and was waiting respectfully. The bodyguard stood on the side of the door. His expression was serious and alert.
Feng Nanshu walked out of the library quietly. She climbed into the car without a word. The vehicle disappeared down the street before dusk with the roar of its engine.
'It turns out that wealth and beauty really can be found in the same place.'
'….'
'I am suddenly a bit hungry. I should go home.'
Jiang Qin took the book [Guide to Living Off a Rich Woman] and put it back on the shelf. He rode his bike back to the Hongrong Garden on North Second Road. He bought the item [Small Steamed Buns - 1 Tray] at the entrance of the residential area.
Today was Wednesday. It was a workday.
Yuan Youqin was an employee at the government guest house. Jiang Zhenghong worked at the Health Bureau. No one should be home right now. He could only make do with the small steamed buns.
However, he had eaten so much takeout and instant noodles in his past life. He was no longer picky about his food. He had no excessive requirements for the quality of a meal.
Furthermore, the taste of the buns from this shop was truly good. The skin was thin and the filling was large. Ten years later, they would even open branch stores.
Jiang Qin picked up a bun from the plastic bag and took a bite. It was hot and oily. It was the same recipe and the same familiar taste.
However, the weather was too hot now. He began to sweat after eating only two.
Jiang Qin tied the plastic bag. He planned to finish eating after returning home.
At seven in the evening, the night surged up silently.
Jiang Zhenghong returned home carrying two plastic bags. He took off his shoes and sat on the sofa.
His forehead was covered in sweat. He could not even catch his breath. He hurriedly called for Jiang Qin to pour him some water.
"Dad, where did you go? Why are you so tired?"
"Your mother said the vegetables at the South Village market are cheap. I rode my bike for forty minutes. I bought a lot of things. They are all your favorites."
Jiang Qin placed the water glass in front of him. "Is it not just a few cents cheaper? It is not worth the effort. Is our family that poor?"
Jiang Zhenghong took a sip of water. He let out a satisfied sigh. "This has nothing to do with being poor. You are going to university. After university, you need to marry a wife. There will be many places to spend money in the future. We must save where we can. You cannot spend money recklessly anymore!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door hinge made a (Creak!) sound. The front door was pushed open again.
Yuan Youqin entered the door carrying a shopping bag from the department store. Her expression was full of joy. She was even humming a tune.
Seeing this, the father and son could not help but look at each other.
"What did you buy?"
"Sister Xu from my unit said the department store is having a half-price sale on wool coats. I got a great bargain!"
Jiang Zhenghong widened his eyes. "A wool coat? How much did you spend?"
Yuan Youqin showed a proud expression. "The [Original Price: 888 Yuan] was reduced. Now it is only [Sale Price: 488 Yuan]."
"Dad, is this what you meant by not spending money recklessly?" Jiang Qin was shocked.
"You wasteful woman! It is the middle of summer. Why are you buying a wool coat now!"
"What do you know? If it were not the middle of summer, there would be no discount!"
Jiang Zhenghong put on the majesty of the head of the household. "Jiang Qin has finished his college entrance exams. When the results come out, we have to host a banquet and pay his tuition. There are many places to spend money."
Yuan Youqin changed her shoes and walked to the living room. "Are those not my own words? Also, did you go to the South Village market like I told you?"
"Of course I went. I calculated the account. The vegetables at the South Village market are much cheaper than the salt shop downstairs. I saved more than twenty yuan this time."
"Then we saved four hundred and twenty today?"
The brain of Jiang Zhenghong could not process the logic for a long time. "Where did that four hundred come from?"
Yuan Youqin lifted the shopping bag in her hand. "I bought an 888 yuan coat for 488 yuan. Did I not just save four hundred yuan?"
"Youqin, I must speak to you about this. Your view on consumption is clearly wrong."
"Jiang Zhenghong, I have not bought many clothes in all the years I have been married to you. You are complaining over a single wool coat?"
Jiang Qin watched from the side with a smile. He felt that this long-lost family conflict was very heartwarming.
His father was still in his prime. He was strong and healthy. He did not have the white hair he would have at fifty-three. He had not secretly worked as a driver until he fainted in the car just to save for a down payment for Jiang Qin.
His mother was also still young. She still loved beauty. She would go to the department store when she had a little money. she had not reached the point where she was afraid to even buy meat to save money.
This was definitely the thing that made him happiest after his rebirth.
However, his act of watching the show while laughing was too provocative. The trouble soon turned toward him. He received simultaneous glares from the couple.
"Jiang Qin, what are you laughing at? Do you also think I should not have bought this wool coat?"
Jiang Qin pulled back the smile on his face. "Mom, I will earn a lot of money in the future. I will never let you buy outdated discount clothes again. I will not let Dad go to such a distant market either."
The expression of Yuan Youqin froze for a moment. Her gaze instantly became soft. "This is my good son. Do not learn from your father. He is stingy all day long."
"How am I stingy…"
The voice of Jiang Zhenghong weakened. He was clearly lacking confidence. However, when he turned around, he discovered that his wife had opened the shopping bag. The bag was actually filled with rolls of toilet paper.
"What is this?"
"It is the inventory from the guest house. The leader said it all had to be replaced, so I brought it back. Did you think you were the only one who knew how to be thrifty?"
Yuan Youqin spoke in a huff and turned into the kitchen.
Jiang Zhenghong was stunned. He thought to himself that this was a total setup.
