Chapter 11 - 11 I Can ’Reluctantly’ Marry You
Chapter 11: I Can 'Reluctantly' Marry You
What is called social death, this is it.
An Nuonuo wished she could crawl into a crevice in the ground.
So embarrassing.
Jiang Xu grinned, feeling very cheerful.
Maybe this is what they call peaceful times.
At about nine-thirty, while reading the book, Jiang Xu dragged An Nuonuo away.
On the road.
Jiang Xu advised An Nuonuo, "You just need to serve the meals.
If a guest gets drunk, you should find me first.
Some more generous customers will give tips.
This is your own money, you can keep it, don't need to give me any.
And you can't refuse.
Because that would make them think you look down on them, do you understand?"
"Oh, I see." An Nuonuo nodded obediently.
Only Chen Yue and two waitstaff were in the restaurant.
Jiang Shan had gone to talk with the landlord.
"Ah... Hello, Auntie, I'm An Nuonuo. Sorry for the intrusion."
Seeing Chen Yue, An Nuonuo immediately bowed ninety degrees.
"Oh, don't be so formal, come in."
Chen Yue pulled An Nuonuo in with a big smile on her face, expressing great enthusiasm.
"Here, let me explain things...
Ten minutes later.
An Nuonuo came out with a red face and began to wipe the tables.
Jiang Xu ran to ask Chen Yue, "Mom, what did you say to her?"
"Nothing." Chen Yue replied, "Just told her some precautions and..."
Chen Yue leaned into Jiang Xu's ear and said slyly, "And vetted for you.
Although the girl looks a little malnourished,
but she has a great figure.
Mom just checked, she's definitely able to bear a son.
The girl's personality is also good, Mom is very satisfied."
Jiang Xu was speechless, "Mom, you've gone too far, what if you scare her away?"
"No, she seems very kind. You should seize the opportunity.
Starting from next week, double your allowance."
Jiang Xu immediately changed his face: "Mom is awesome."
Can't help it, Mom gave too much.
Customers started to gather around eleven o'clock.
Jiang Shan also returned.
To Jiang Xu who was instructing An Nuonuo, he said, "The landlord agreed.
His entire family is about to immigrate, 3900 yuan per square meter."
Jiang Xu was overjoyed.
The price was lower than he expected.
"Uncle, hello." An Nuonuo said softly.
Seeing the well-behaved and sensible An Nuonuo, Jiangshan immediately broke into a smile: "Hello, hello.
Thank you for agreeing to help, I really appreciate it."
An Nuonuo shook her head, "No, no, I should be the one saying thank you."
She wasn't stupid.
She knew that Jiang Xu brought her here so she could earn more money.
She silently remembered this kindness.
She wasn't able to repay it now, but she would definitely repay it in the future.
As it approached noon, more and more customers came.
Everyone started to get busy.
And An Nuonuo was really quite adept at her job.
Serving tea and delivering dishes swiftly and steadily.
Jiang Xu watched for a while and felt reassured.
Besides a bit of social anxiety, she didn't have any problems.
While An Nuonuo wasn't paying attention, Jiang Xu went into a few private rooms.
After coming out, he said to An Nuonuo, "Take two bottles of red wine and a large can of soda to room number five."
"Okay, got it."
An Nuonuo responded and quickly got the things and went into the room.
Not long after.
An Nuonuo came out.
She hurried over to Jiang Xu.
She stretched out a small hand: "Here."
In the palm of her hand was a twenty-yuan banknote.
"What is this for?" Jiang Xu asked.
"It's a tip from the customers you served earlier. I can't take it, it's yours."
"You can keep it. I'm not in need of this small amount."
"No," An Nuonuo shook her head, "I can't accept this. You are paying me for my work. This is an extra."
The kid's got a soft character.
But sometimes, she can be quite stubborn.
Jiang Xu patiently explained, "This money didn't come out of my pocket, it's from the customer.
Besides, do you know how much pocket money I get every week?"
An Nuonuo shook her head.
"One thousand yuan a week!" Jiang Xu lied without blinking an eye.
"I am rich. What are you doing giving me this twenty yuan? Insulting me?
Take it, or I won't talk to you anymore."
An Nuonuo bit her lip.
Seeing that Jiang Xu seemed to be getting angry, she reluctantly took the money.
There seemed to be an unusually high number of customers that day.
It wasn't until after eleven at night that they finally started to thin out.
Chen Yue took An Nuonuo to the back kitchen, "Nuonuo, it was unexpectedly busy today. You worked hard.
Let's end it here for today. Here's your pay for the past two days."
She handed over a hundred yuan.
Seeing An Nuonuo was about to give her change,
Chen Yue stopped her: "The extra is for working overtime. You were supposed to only work until eight in the evening.
If it's calculated this way, I'm the one who took advantage."
"Thank you, aunty..." An Nuonuo's voice trembled slightly.
She felt the kindness that Jiang Xu's family had shown her.
She tightly clutched the hundred yuan in her hand.
Due to her family's poor financial circumstances,
Most of the time, what the girl experienced was disdain and contempt from others.
But right from the start, Jiang Xu's family treated her as one of their own.
Whether it was genuine or feigned,
For someone as sensitive as An Nuonuo, it was easy to tell.
Jiang Xu went to wash his hands.
Then he took An Nuonuo out of the restaurant to take her home.
She spoke softly, "Actually, you really don't need to send me home. They still need help at the restaurant.
"I can make it back by myself, it's not that far."
"How can that be allowed?" Jiang Xu disagreed. "It's late at night, what if you run into some perverted man?"
"I'm not even pretty, who would be interested in me..."
"You have a point." Jiang Xu nodded, touching his chin. "Look at you,
Your grades are just average, your figure, also average, and you're not especially pretty.
Most likely, you won't be able to get married."
An Nuonuo looked at Jiang Xu, feeling a bit wronged.
How could he say things like that?
She felt a little sad.
Unexpectedly,
Jiang Xu changed his tone, "But, since we're desk mates, we should help each other out, right?
I might be willing to make the sacrifice and take you as my wife."
"Huh...you...you're bullying me..."
An Nuonuo's cheeks flushed scarlet all of a sudden,
She lowered her head and ran off.
For her, the type of bookworm she was, Jiang Xu's words had a powerful impact.
Jiang Xu, with a smile on his face, hurried after her.
After ensuring An Nuonuo got home safely, Jiang Xu went back to the restaurant.
With his parents, he kept busy until half-past two in the morning before finally ending the night.
Once he got home, Jiang Xu collapsed and fell asleep instantly.
On the other side, however, An Nuonuo couldn't sleep.
She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep,
Her mind kept replaying Jiang Xu's earlier words over and over again.
"I might be willing to make the sacrifice and take you as my wife."
"Was he joking or...?"
An Nuonuo's heart was in chaos.
And that night, An Nuonuo wasn't the only one suffering from insomnia. Zhou Qingyue was too.
