Chapter 753: Chapter 737: I Am Not a Slut 48

"Silly girl."

Mr. Jiang didn’t know what to say: "It’s possible that they are just deceiving you. All this information came from the Xiao Family, isn’t that just whatever they say goes?"

Anning had no choice but to take out a bank card: "This is Xiao Yuan’s bank card. He keeps all his cards with me, and I know the PIN. Anytime he needs money, it has to go through me. Whether his family has money or not, won’t checking the bank card tell us?"

Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were stunned.

Neither of them expected that, even though Xiao Yuan and Anning were just talking and nothing was set in stone yet, he had already given her his bank card.

Anning took out her cell phone, opened the online banking app right in front of Mr. and Mrs. Jiang, keyed in the account number and password, and quickly, the balance was displayed.

"Take a look."

Anning handed the phone to Mr. Jiang.

Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang looked at the zeroes on the screen: "One, two, three, four..."

What amount is this?

Jiang Anan glanced at it: "Over ten million."

Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang then looked at Anning: "Is this real?"

Anning nodded: "Can the bank even help me fake this?"

Of course, that’s impossible. Their own daughter doesn’t have that ability.

Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang looked at Anning again: "Does the Xiao Family really have that much money?"

Anning replied irritably: "What else could it be? Xiao Yuan hasn’t even graduated yet, how could he have made this much money? He didn’t rob a bank."

That made sense.

"Have you been to his house? What do you think of his family?" Mrs. Jiang asked another question.

Anning laughed: "The people are genuinely nice. His parents are both amiable, honest, and straightforward. The moment I saw them, I knew that they could become in-laws with you. Mom, I know you want me to marry into a good family, but we have to be realistic. Just like my older sister, there’s a lid for every pot. If I marry into a family worth tens of billions, where everything’s perfect and the parents are powerful people, would you really be at ease? Yes, I’m not lacking money, but you’d still worry about me suffering over there. As far as I’m concerned, it’s better to have less money and not have to suffer throughout life."

Jiang Anan was nodding in agreement on the side: "Dad, Mom, what the second sister is saying is right. You said the Xiao family is from the countryside, but we also come from the countryside, and the smell of the soil hasn’t even washed off us yet. You disdain them, but as I see it, the second sister and Xiao Yuan are well-suited. Similar backgrounds, and Xiao Yuan is capable too. Think about it, having a son-in-law who is a doctor, the face of our family would be huge. If anyone in our family falls ill in the future, we really wouldn’t have to worry."

There is some truth to that.

Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang started to ponder it carefully.

Anning said with a smile: "If you really aren’t pleased, then forget it, I’ll break up with him. With my looks and abilities, if I truly go all out, not caring about anything else, I could find you a top tycoon’s son to be your son-in-law. Would you dare accept that?"

Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang didn’t speak.

Anning continued: "If that happens, you and a top tycoon will be discussing in-laws together. They talk about the global economic situation, planning to acquire a few more companies, investing in which country, going to Africa to buy a diamond mine or something. And what about you? You’ll be pondering what to eat today, whether to take home leftovers after the meal. Do you think you could fit together?"

Seeing Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang still silent, she directly took out her cell phone: "If you don’t speak up, I’ll really call Xiao Yuan and break up with him right now. I’ve said it, if I really break up with him, I won’t marry anyone but a billionaire. Then you’ll know what real trouble is."

"Don’t, don’t."

Mrs. Jiang saw Anning was about to make a call, so she quickly stopped her: "What nonsense are you spouting? You’re thinking about marrying a tycoon, as if you could really do that."

Anning laughed: "Don’t underestimate me. If I really put my mind to it, I could actually marry into that kind of family. I’m just worried about you."

"Don’t worry about us," Mrs. Jiang couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "I know you’re just trying to scare us, but I’ve thought about it, too. You’re right, Xiao Yuan is indeed a good young man. I was pondering this when your dad was in the hospital. The guy looks handsome and has a good personality; it’s just his family that seemed like a burden. But now that you’ve put it this way, his family seems pretty good, too. So, if you guys are willing, let’s just go with it."

Mr. Jiang then asked, "Now that you two are confirmed, when is he coming over?"

Mrs. Jiang thought for a moment, "In a few days. I’ll tidy up and have him over for a meal."

Anning cuddled up to Mrs. Jiang and acted coquettishly, "It’s okay for him to visit, but when the new son-in-law comes over, you got to treat him well. Mom, what are you thinking of serving? Sea cucumber and abalone, or lobster?"

Mrs. Jiang slapped her hand away, "Sea cucumber and abalone, my foot! I’d give you a nice slap upside the head."

Anning dodged with a laugh, "Then I really won’t dare to bring him home."

By this point, Jiang Anan was visibly relieved.

Now that her mom wasn’t nagging at her nonstop, she felt much more at ease, too.

Anning and Mrs. Jiang sat down: "To be honest, these next few days won’t work. Xiao Yuan’s third sister has come and she’s in the hospital. They’re planning surgery in the next few days. His family doesn’t have anyone else, and it’s inconvenient for Xiao Yuan, a man, to be there alone. I’ll need to be at the hospital to watch over things."

Mrs. Jiang hurriedly asked upon hearing this, "What happened? What illness does she have?"

Anning quietly explained Xiao Yuzhu’s situation: "It’s a good thing Xiao Yuan returned early. Otherwise, it would have been tough to manage. If the whole village knew, then it would be difficult for his three sisters to get married in the future."

Mrs. Jiang started cursing when she heard this: "How could anyone be so heartless? His daughter is sick, and he goes to harm someone else’s daughter? He’s a father, but those girls have their own parents too. He dotes on his own daughter, but has he ever thought about how the other parents feel?"

Exactly, that’s the point.

People like Yang Zhenfa never accumulate any virtues. He’s corrupt to the core; the retribution might very well fall on his own daughter.

"Alright, I got it. I’ll go to the hospital with you in a couple of days."

Now that Mrs. Jiang had decided to accept Xiao Yuan, she had to do things properly and without giving anyone a chance to criticize.

Mr. Jiang reminded Anning, "Ask Xiao Yuan’s sister what she wants to eat. I’ll have the chef prepare it every day, and you can pick it up from the restaurant. They’ve come from afar and are familiar with us now. We have to take good care of them."

"I know," Anning replied.

Looking at the fresh cherries on the table, Anning took one and bit into it: "When you guys go, you must not say anything that sounds bad. The third sister is feeling unsettled right now. If you say something wrong, she’ll feel even worse."

Mrs. Jiang glared at Anning: "Do you think I don’t know that? We’re trying to keep it a secret out of fear that it will spread. I wouldn’t just blabber about it."

Anning warned again, "If anyone does ask, just say it’s a tumor in her stomach."

Mrs. Jiang nodded.

Her voice had barely faded when her phone rang.

Mrs. Jiang hurried to answer it, and Anning could hear Aunt Jiang’s voice: "Chuncao, did you ask Nannan what actually happened?"

Mrs. Jiang spoke irritably, "I asked. Nannan is fuming at home. What’s with these people? Their behavior is inhumane. Nannan went over this afternoon, but what happened? There’s a girl there who’s quite pretty and well-dressed. That guy, seeing the girl’s appearance, mistook her for Nannan and they ended up chatting. What is Nannan supposed to do in that situation? Go over and say he mistook her for someone else? Our family can’t lose face like that, and that’s why Nannan came back. That young man is not trustworthy. Even if he is interested in that girl, he should’ve at least told Nannan. Auntie, let’s not bring this up again in the future."

Aunt Jiang was also quite angry upon hearing this, "That’s not what the young man said. He told me that our Nannan doesn’t pay attention to her image and even said..."

Although Mrs. Jiang was scolding An Nan, she still had to back up her daughter in front of others, "What does ’not paying attention to her image’ even mean? Clearly, that guy is just too vain. We don’t want someone who values looks over character. What now, he likes a young and fresh girl? What will he do after getting married and having kids? What if she gains weight? What if she doesn’t look pretty anymore? He’ll just abandon her..."

While Mrs. Jiang was arguing with Aunt Jiang, Anning took An Nan into the room and asked quietly, "What happened?"

An Nan told Anning about the afternoon’s events: "Anyway, I’m not going on blind dates anymore. It’s just..."

Anning laughed, "This isn’t even the worst. When I was at the Gu family company, the girls in our office encountered far worse cases. Alright, if you’re not willing, then don’t go. Who can force you?"
