Chapter 264: The Bumpkin Girl Who Returns a Favor (6)
Chapter 264: The Bumpkin Girl Who Returns a Favor (6)
Jiang Yunxi looks defiant, but is actually easily provoked.
He is a soft-hearted person and will not tolerate toughness. If you handle it right, you can easily make him submit.
Moreover, he is relatively silly and easily persuaded and bewitched, so it is very suitable for him to slowly cultivate feelings with others.
But Jiang Jizhou is different. He is very purposeful and planned in his work. He has his own set of rules and no one can interfere.
So when Mu Zhou's mother called and made a request, she didn't even think about Jiang Jizhou.
But now that Jiang Yunxi is about to be of no use, the only thing he can do is to make Jiang Jizhou have a better impression of Mu Zhou.
Please take good care of me in the future.
Thinking of this, she suddenly said to Mu Zhou:
"Ji Zhou looks mature and steady, but he's actually not much older than you. It would be better if you could communicate more and get closer to each other."
She was afraid that Mu Zhou didn't understand, so she added:
"Xiao Mu, listen to grandma. Grandma is doing this for your own good."
At her age, it is unknown how long she can live. Once she dies, if no one in the Jiang family treats Mu Zhou well, Mu Zhou will be driven away sooner or later.
She had already left Mu Zhou an inheritance, which would definitely ensure that she would have no problems living a worry-free life for the rest of her life.
But in this way, Mu Zhou became alone again, with no one to take care of him.
Besides, a wealthy orphan girl would be too easy to be targeted.
Then she would be unworthy of Mu Zhou's mother's instructions.
But she couldn't say these words directly to Mu Zhou, for fear that she would feel pressured and think too much.
Just when I was about to mention it in a subtle way, I didn't expect Mu Zhou to agree so quickly:
"I understand, grandma. I will try to get closer to Brother Jizhou."
Grandma was relieved when she heard it: "Good boy."
Mu Zhou smiled lightly and said obediently:
"Mom said that Grandma Jiang is a good person and will not harm me. She told me to listen to her from now on."
Grandma was very pleased.
Stairs on the other side.
Jiang Yunxi, who had a broken leg, refused to be supported by the servants and insisted on going upstairs by himself.
After struggling for a long time, I finally made it to the second floor, where I just heard my grandmother's cryptic instructions.
He grew up in such an environment, so he is naturally a smart guy and understands what his grandmother means.
He muttered without thinking:
"That's a nice thought. Is my brother really that easy to please? He just looks gentlemanly and easy to talk to, but his heart is actually hard and cold. Instead of trying so hard to please him, why not try to please me with all your heart? Maybe I'll show mercy..."
Jiang Yunxi froze.
Why did he show such mercy?
Could it be that he really wants to marry her?
Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Yunxi suddenly panicked, her steps became messy, and she almost tripped over herself.
He leaned against the wall to steady himself, but his heart was still beating wildly.
It's strange, how could he have such a shocking idea.
Jiang Yunxi felt that he must have hit his head in the car accident.
He shook his head violently, trying to get rid of all those messy thoughts.

Mu Zhou brought two glasses of milk and tiptoed to the outside of the study. He knocked on the door gently and opened it only after hearing the cold words "come in" from inside.
She poked her head out, revealing half of her body. She first glanced in the direction of Jiang Jizhou, then slowly walked in and closed the door again.
Behind the desk, Jiang Jizhou looked away from the computer and his dark eyes fell straight on her.
Mu Zhou put the milk in front of him:
"Grandma said that Brother Jizhou used to drink a glass of milk when he worked late at night."
"Thank you."
Jiang Jizhou spoke in a faint voice, then his eyes fell on the other cup, signaling her to explain.
Mu Zhou's hands were clasped behind his back, almost twisted into a knot, and his whole body was filled with tension:
"This one is mine. Can I read a book here for a while?"
After starting, Mu Zhou spoke much more fluently.
"I took a course in world economics and I can't find some information. Grandma told me that you have a lot of books on this subject in your study. I didn't dare to come in before because you weren't home."
She carefully glanced at Jiang Jizhou's expression, and seeing that he did not refuse immediately, she continued:
"I will definitely be quiet and won't disturb you. I know Brother Jizhou's rules. Your books cannot be taken away. I brought my own notebook. I will copy down the information I need and will definitely not damage the book."
Mu Zhou said a lot in one breath, and when he stopped, the whole study became quiet.
Jiang Jizhou looked at the notebook and pen she took out, and then looked at the extra glass of milk on the table.
There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
She was quite prepared, even her own milk.
Are you sure he won't refuse?
However, meeting her expectant gaze, Jiang Jizhou really couldn't bring himself to let her go.
So he lowered his head and continued to look through the documents in his hand.
Mu Zhou naturally understood this tacit attitude.
She curled the corners of her lips, and her tone was a little light:
"Thank you, Brother Jizhou."
She took her milk and tiptoed to the bookshelf next to her.
This study is very large, with an entire wall covered in bookshelves filled with a variety of books, and a wooden ladder next to it.
The books are arranged in a very regular pattern, covering all walks of life.
It's just a small bookstore.
Mu Zhou found the book he wanted, took it out and sat down by the bay window next to him.
There is a wall lamp here, and the light when it is turned on is just right for reading.
More than ten minutes later, Jiang Jizhou put away a document, picked up the milk cup as usual, and just as he put it to his mouth, he thought of the milkman.
He looked inside.
Mu Zhou was seen sitting on a small sofa with a notebook and pen on the bay window in front of him.
There was milk on the side.
She was holding a book on the Western economic system and reading it with great interest.
I would drink a sip of milk from time to time.
The whole person felt comfortable and relaxed as if he was in his own room, without any sense of awkwardness.
After drinking a glass of milk, she changed her posture, sat down with her legs crossed, leaned on the bay window and began to write something.
Mu Zhou was wearing a beige nightgown with long sleeves and a loose cartoon style, without a trace of seduction.
Just by changing her posture, the hem of her skirt moved up a little, just revealing a few inches above her knees.
Her tender skin was exposed, but she was unaware of it.
Jiang Jizhou looked at it silently for a few seconds, then looked away and continued with his work.
Only this time, his efficiency was significantly lower.
It was not until half past ten that Mu Zhou yawned and returned all the books to their original places.
She took away both of their milk cups and looked at Jiang Jizhou hesitantly:
"Brother Jizhou, can I come over tomorrow?"
"……Um."
"Brother Jizhou, you should also go to bed early. I'm leaving first."
Jiang Jizhou didn't even raise his head.
Mu Zhou got the answer he wanted and left happily.
Only Jiang Jizhou was left to continue working.
According to the original plan, he had completed the work by this time.
But today, he was disturbed and his plans were disrupted.
I shouldn't have agreed to her.
Jiang Jizhou thought.

Mu Zhou had just closed the door when he happened to meet Jiang Yunxi coming upstairs.
He saw Mu Zhou actually coming out of Jiang Jizhou's study, and he couldn't hide the shock on his face.
