Jiang Wan was trying hard, wanting Zhou Kuangyu to spend more money on her. This girl loved dressing up the most, and in recent days, whenever she was free, Jiang Wan would drag Zhou Kuangyu to the second floor of the Department Store to shop for clothes. She knew she was about to start university, where students might come from all sorts of family backgrounds. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱 There might be those with better family conditions than hers, and if she shared a dorm with such people, she didn’t want to be looked down upon. After all, there were plenty of people who judged others by their appearances. So, recently, before school started, Jiang Wan took Zhou Kuangyu to buy clothes for her. The dress she wore today was bought by Zhou Kuangyu just a few days ago. Jiang Wan absolutely loved it, after all, she had never worn such a beautiful dress in her life. But Jiang Wan hid it well; she didn’t want the Jiang Family to know about her and Zhou Kuangyu’s affair yet. Although Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were not good people either, if they knew she had fallen so low as to become a third party, they would definitely kick her out of the house. Besides, Jiang Wan had an older brother who was several years older than her at home. These days, although Jiang Wan had siphoned quite a bit of money from Zhou Kuangyu, she hid it well and her family didn’t notice. If her family found out, the money in her pocket would definitely not be safe. Although the Jiang Family valued her, the excellent daughter who got into university. But in front of her older brother, none of this was worth mentioning, for her parents were slightly biased towards males over females. Thus, Jiang Wan always hid it well, even the dress Zhou Kuangyu bought for her. She first stored it at a classmate’s house. She told her classmate that it was a graduation gift from her parents, and that she couldn’t bear to wear it, and that there was no space in her home wardrobe, so she stored it at the classmate’s place. Fortunately, that classmate was quite simple-minded and never suspected anything. Every time this classmate saw the things Jiang Wan stored at her house, she looked on with envy, thinking the Jiang Family was so good to Jiang Wan. Jiang Wan sneered at this. She thought to herself, her parents would never be so generous; if she hadn’t met Zhou Kuangyu, she would probably be wearing shabby, patched clothes even on her first day of university. All along, Jiang Wan considered Jiang Xin a thorn in her side. Simply put, she was jealous of Jiang Xin. Because, even though they were both daughters, Jiang Xin’s parents were evidently much better to their daughter than hers were to her. Whenever she saw Jiang Xin in those beautiful dresses, she couldn’t help but feel her face twist with jealousy. But now, she managed to rely on her own abilities to get Zhou Kuangyu; she could finally wear beautiful dresses too. Zhou Kuangyu, on his part, was very patient; he had never been a good person and had a mediocre relationship with his wife at home. After all, there was no emotion in the arranged marriage, and normally, they both did their own things. As long as things didn’t reach the main parties involved, everything could be treated as if it didn’t happen. Over the years, Zhou Kuangyu had kept quite a few girls outside. Jiang Wan was one of them, and the reason he took to Jiang Wan was quite simple. Due to her family’s poverty, she had a blind admiration for him, which greatly satisfied his male ego. At home, he had a wife and children, and his wife’s family conditions were very good, comparable to his own. When the two families initially decided on the marriage, he and his wife had no feelings for each other, so over the years, they remained in a state of mutual disgust. Throughout their interactions, they would not praise or confide in each other, only engage in futile quarrels and complaints. So over time, Zhou learned to seek a sense of presence outside the home. After all, there were tons of women out there who adored him and wanted to climb into his bed; he saw no need to wrong himself by staying with just one woman. Having been satisfied for so long outside, he had forgotten what it felt like at home. Zhou looked down at Jiang Wan, standing next to him, the young girl was only eighteen or nineteen, but her mind was quite heavy. In the past, he had hardly encountered any young girls of this age. Jiang Wan was ambitious; at least in his mind, he thought high school students who had not yet encountered society should all be relatively simple-minded. But Jiang Wan clearly wasn’t. This Jiang Wan was completely different from her classmates. But just at this time, he was rather bored too, considering his commitment to sponsoring, he had to stay in this town for a long time. Having someone like Jiang Wan around him allowed him to kill time and find some amusement. Zhou was very clear in his mind about what Jiang Wan wanted from him; he understood very well that it was nothing more than money. Otherwise, why would a young girl like Jiang Wan be interested in a man like him who was approaching thirty-five? It was simply unrealistic; in other words, she valued his wealth. Zhou was very aware that if Jiang Wan wanted to get something from him, it would depend on whether he felt like giving it or not. If he didn’t want to, being the old fox that he was in the business world, a young girl like Jiang Wan would not get any advantage from him. Zhou lowered his head and looked deeply at Jiang Wan’s face, which was average and had nothing exceptional, definitely not a top beauty. As plain as water, the phrase "delicate yet simple" barely applied to Jiang Wan. Compared to the women he had dealt with in the past, she was an eyesore. Had it not been for passing the time, Zhou actually wouldn’t have particularly wanted to burden himself. He liked young women, yes, but that didn’t mean he was indiscriminate. If there weren’t suitable candidates at the moment, and if Jiang Wan hadn’t been so active, he probably wouldn’t have been interested in her. Fortunately, she was very sweet-tongued, adorably admired him, and was proactive enough to stick to him whenever she saw him; Zhou rather enjoyed this aspect of Jiang Wan. So, whenever Jiang Wan dragged him to the Department Store to shop, he would appropriately spend a little money on her. After all, that little money meant nothing to him; it’s all about making a woman happy, which was utterly trivial.
