Chapter 615: Chapter 615 The New Family Favorite

An Nuonuo got up a little after six.

Chu Youwei was still sleeping, so she started bustling around in the kitchen with Li Yuanjuan.

Last night, Li Yuanjuan had messaged An Nuonuo, asking her to make sure to get up early today.

The mother and daughter were busy in the kitchen, chatting as they worked.

“With your cousin returning home, according to the tradition of our hometown, we need to pick a good day to hold a banquet.”

“Mm, cousin has had a tough few years. What do dad, mom, and my aunt and uncle think?”

“Hehe, I don’t know if they’ve seen Youwei’s potential now or if they regret their past decisions, but they want to recognize their daughter again.”

“I’ve asked her, and she doesn’t want to. She said that even if they put a knife to her neck, she wouldn’t acknowledge them.”

“As expected, I wouldn’t acknowledge them either. Anyway, there’s no love lost. Let’s drop the subject. My daughter, any movement from your belly yet?”

Her face reddening, An Nuonuo subconsciously wanted to touch her stomach.

Seeing her hands were oily, she decided against it.

She said timidly, “Not yet…”

“No worries, you young couple still have time, and I’m not in a rush to hold a grandchild. Oh, right, I bought some tonic wine for you. I’ll give it to you later. Give Jiang Xu some when you can.”

An Nuonuo: “…”

Although she said she wasn’t in a hurry, she was probably the most anxious of all.

The mother and daughter were busy until almost eight o’clock before they finally finished.

The table was filled with dishes, nearly too many to fit.

Chu Youwei woke up.

Seeing the table full of sumptuous food, she was a bit surprised: “Are we hosting guests today? Then I will go outside.”

“This child~” Li Yuanjuan hugged Chu Youwei with much empathy: “So sensible it breaks my heart. All these dishes are for you.”

“What?” Chu Youwei was stunned.

After An Nuonuo explained, Chu Youwei finally understood, and then tears began to fall involuntarily.

In this family, she truly felt what was meant by kinship and what it was like to be valued.

The mother and daughter were all over the place, and it took a while to cheer up Chu Youwei.

“Sister, I’ll go call Brother Xu over, okay?”

An Nuonuo picked up her phone and headed outside while glancing at it.

It was only then that An Nuonuo saw the message that Jiang Xu had sent.

Suddenly she became anxious.

Worried that something had happened to Jiang Xu, she hurried back to the bedroom.

Jiang Xu was still sprawled out on the bed.

An Nuonuo rushed over and grabbed his hand: “Brother Xu, what’s wrong? Are you feeling ill?”

Jiang Xu’s voice was feint, “Why did you take so long to come here?”

“I was helping mom cook; we are preparing a feast for sister today, and I only just saw the message. What’s wrong with you?”

An Nuonuo was so worried she was near tears.

“Oh, I see,” Jiang Xu suddenly hugged An Nuonuo tightly.

With a roll, An Nuonuo found herself lying on the bed.

From above her, Jiang Xu said, “No big deal. I just needed your help with a little problem.”

An Nuonuo was about to ask what the little problem was when she sensed something.

She said coquettishly, “Can… can it wait till later? Everyone is about to have dinner.”

Jiang Xu: “I can wait, but it can’t.”

An Nuonuo: “Mmh…”

“Everyone, cheers.”

“To celebrate Youwei joining our big family.”

Glasses were raised together, followed by a hearty toast.

The parents of Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo sat together, the atmosphere harmonious and jovial.

Chu Youwei didn’t drink alcohol, but she still poured herself half a glass of beer and stood up, saying, “Thank you, everyone. I… I’m not good with words… I don’t know what to say, cheers.”

After speaking, she downed it all.

Her fair, delicate face instantly turned a bright red.

Laughing, An Feng said, “Youwei, if you can’t drink alcohol, have some soda instead. Here, this is a little gift for you.”

As he spoke, he took out a car key.

Although Chu Youwei wasn’t much into cars, she still recognized it as the logo of a luxury brand and repeatedly shook her head to indicate she didn’t want it.

This car must cost at least five or six hundred thousand.

Li Yuanjuan patted her hand, “Silly girl, we’re all family. If you don’t accept it, it means you don’t consider us your family. This is my gift to you.”

With that, she took out a property deed: “A luxury apartment in the city center, over five hundred square meters, all decorated and furnished.

The apartment is already transferred to your name.

Let’s make it clear, huh, it’s not that we want you to leave.

But for a girl stepping into society, especially in a big city like this, having an apartment of your own makes you feel secure.”

Chu Youwei’s lips trembled, “Aunt, I…”

Li Yuanjuan put on a stern face on purpose, “If you don’t accept it, then don’t call me aunt. I won’t recognize you.”

“Sister, just accept it. It’s a little something from mom and dad,” said An Nuonuo as she placed the property deed and car key into Chu Youwei’s hands.

Then she took out a sparkling pendant.

She directly put it around Chu Youwei’s neck, “This is my gift. Do you like it, sister?”

“I… like it.”

Chu Youwei bit her lip hard.

She didn’t want to cry, it would be too embarrassing.

But she couldn’t help it, and soon her face was covered in tears.

When her crying had somewhat subsided, Jiang Xu also took out a check and placed it in front of Chu Youwei.

“This is a check for ten million. Welcome home, sister. Please make sure to accept it.”

As long as she didn’t cause any trouble, Jiang Xu would treat her like his own sister.

As for Jiang Xu’s parents, there was no need for them to give gifts.

Just the gifts Chu Youwei received today alone were worth at least fifty million in total.

The meal was very enjoyable.

Chu Youwei secretly made a resolution to repay them double in the future.

That afternoon, Jiang Xu went to the company to deal with some matters.

The listing process for ‘Pleasant Music’ was already underway.

Once the news got out, many investment companies came forward with money, eager to try.

They were just waiting for ‘Pleasant Music’ to go public so they could throw their money in.

Avi knocked on the door and entered the office.

“Mr. Jiang, following your orders, two crews have already headed to Spirit Turtle Island for filming,” she reported.

“Mhm,” Jiang Xu nodded, “Keep a continuous watch over there and report to me regularly.

Also, keep the Handsome School Contest under wraps.”

“Understood,” she responded.

“Oh, and this, you need to sign it,” she said as she handed over a document.

Jiang Xu saw it was about Zhou Qingyue.

This month, she had signed twelve advertising contracts.

The shortest was for half a year with advertising fees of sixty million.

The longest was for three years, with annual advertising fees of two hundred million.

The total fees from these twelve contracts amounted to one point six billion for the year.

The earnings of an A-lister were truly terrifying.

One person was comparable to several listed companies.

After reviewing the document, Jiang Xu signed it.

He then looked at the data across various aspects of the company.

All of it was steadily progressing.

He kept busy until after five o’clock before taking a break.

He stretched his body and browsed some news online.

“Hmm?” Suddenly, Jiang Xu’s gaze sharpened as several news stories caught his attention.
