"Business has been bad lately. Dad has been bedridden since the year before last... Mom is managing everything at home."
Jiang Fan remained calm.
But secretly, I was delighted.
"Dad is really something, he didn't even tell me he was sick."
Remembering her mother's instructions, Xia Zihan knew she absolutely could not let Jiang Fan go back to see Jiang's father.
She quickly said, "He's still the same as before, saying he doesn't want to see you."
"Tch, forget it if you don't want to see her. I'll just send Mom some money later, that'll be my way of being filial."
The feud between Jiang Fan and his father was almost irreconcilable.
It's fine to provide financial support, but expecting him to physically attend to their needs at their bedside is unrealistic.
Xia Zihan then remembered her mother's instructions.
"Brother Jiang Fan...aren't you in college now? How come you suddenly made so much money? Did you buy lottery tickets?"
"Haha~ I am indeed going to school. I have my final exams in a few days."
"As for making money... I've started a studio with my buddies, and we're making a steady income of over 5000 yuan a day. I've also started a small company with my girlfriend. We'll find out how much it's worth in a while."
Although Xia Zihan didn't understand business, she often saw her mother looking worried about the company.
I roughly know that making money is not an easy thing.
"Wow, that's amazing."
In Xia Zihan's memory, Jiang Fan was shrouded in mystery.
"Girlfriend? Jiang Fan has a girlfriend?"
"Yes, she'll be back tomorrow. I'll introduce you to her then."
"Huh??? Isn't she with you?"
“She went back to her hometown to rest a few days ago. When she found out you were back, she rushed over to see you.”
Xia Zihan was somewhat at a loss.
"Oh, right." Jiang Fan took out his phone and promptly transferred 3 yuan to her.
"This is just a small token of my appreciation. Buy whatever you want, as you wish."
Xia Zihan, who had just been feeling a little embarrassed, suddenly broke into a happy smile.
"Brother! Thank you so much! I really need this money!"
"What? As your mother's precious daughter, she's reluctant to spend money on you?" Jiang Fan asked tentatively.
Xia Zihan pouted and complained, "She only gave me 1 yuan, that's too little."
How could a stepmother, a woman who is extremely vain and concerned with appearances, not give her daughter money to spend?
1. She treated Xia Zihan as a tool to step on landmines, too lazy to invest more, since she could get my food, clothing, and shelter for free anyway.
2. She's really down on her luck now, she doesn't have any extra money.
Whatever the reason.
Xia Zihan, as the daughter of her stepmother, is somewhat strapped for cash, which is proof of the stepmother's overall weakened aura and energy.
Jiang Fan's eyes darted around, and he turned the steering wheel.
"Zihan, I'll buy you clothes and a bag as a gift to make up for not seeing you for so many years."
"Oh? Really? Bro! You're so good to me!"
Xia Zihan was like an innocent little fool, her wariness of Jiang Fan almost completely gone.
Chapter 233: Cohabitation
Jiang Fan was exceptionally generous to this sister who was not related to him by blood.
I spent over 200,000 yuan to buy her a completely new outfit from head to toe, and also gave her a bag worth over 100,000 yuan.
Xia Zihan felt completely dizzy.
Although the stepmother mismanaged the property, she used it to buy herself nice cars, clothes, and cosmetics.
Xia Zihan, being a minor, didn't receive any special benefits. At most, she had more pocket money, more expensive clothes than her peers, and was picked up and dropped off by car.
Today is the first time she has received a real benefit.
Looking at herself in the mirror, who resembled a princess, Xia Zihan's pretty face flushed with joy.
The saleswoman quickly flattered him: "Sir, your girlfriend is so beautiful~ especially her legs... they're perfect for our latest sheer stockings."
Stockings carry a certain sexual connotation, and Jiang Fan wanted to slowly boil the frog in water.
"She's my sister, and the stockings are..."
Xia Zihan, however, took the initiative and said, "Brother! Buy it~ I really like stockings."
"Okay, then wrap it up."
Jiang Fan has money in his pocket now, so he doesn't feel bad about spending it.
This was a necessary investment for him to carry out his revenge.
Xia Zihan is a pure and alluring beauty. She is tall, nearly 1.7 meters, and has skin so white it looks like you could squeeze water out of it.
Several fearless men even came up to chat with them.
Leaving the LV store.
The beautiful girl in the pure white dress shyly clutched her dress, her eyes shining as she stared at him.
"Brother Jiang Fan... thank you so much for today!"
"Why are you being so polite? Do you remember what I told you before?"
Xia Zihan's memories instantly returned to seven years ago.
When her mother married her new father, Jiang Fan was the first person she met. His eyes looked like those of a fierce young wolf, and he even scared her to tears.
Xia Zihan didn't grow up properly when she was little, and was short. She was bullied by the girls in her class when she went to her new school.
Upon learning of this, Jiang Fan immediately led a group of brothers to avenge her.
"If anyone dares to bully you in the future, just come to me and I'll beat them up."
This sentence left a particularly deep impression on her.
Xia Zihan's father was very old and had passed away early, and her mother was busy selecting men and didn't care much about her.
In fact, she has a deep-seated insecurity and a tendency towards autism.
However, Jiang Fan was driven away, and his stepmother took over the family's finances.
Money did alleviate the mother and daughter's anxiety about survival.
As Xia Zihan grew up and became more and more beautiful, she attracted countless admirers and gradually became more confident and cheerful.
She had a vague premonition.
New fathers don't live long either.
Perhaps it won't be long before she and her mother have to wander the world again in search of a new refuge.
Her gaze fell on Jiang Fan, who was paying the bill.
That figure was so upright and strong, giving people a sense of security.
How wonderful it would be if Brother Jiang Fan could take care of me for the rest of my life.
Anyway, we're not related by blood... The absurd thought popped into my head.
But Jiang Fan already has a girlfriend.
I should tell my mom about this.
At this moment, Xia Zihan suddenly began to feel anxious and uncertain.
"Zihan, what's wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood. Are you too tired from the journey?" Jiang Fan asked with concern.
"No...it's nothing, maybe I'm just a little hungry?" She resumed her sunny smile.
Jiang Fan patted his shoulder casually: "If you want to buy something in the future, just pay for it. I'm rich."
"Hmm~" Jiang Fan took her to KFC.
The little girl only wanted to eat a few hamburgers, but Jiang Fan ordered everything.
"Brother Jiang Fan, you ordered so much... I can't possibly eat it all, isn't that a bit wasteful?"
"What's there to be afraid of? So what if it's a waste? We can afford it."
"Okay, fine."
Jiang Fan looked at the unfinished hamburgers and cold drinks and silently thought to himself: I didn't mean to waste food.
In order to seek revenge and to stimulate Xia Zihan's desire to spend money.
He can only do this.
"Are you full?" Jiang Fan took out a napkin to wipe Xia Zihan's mouth.
Because of the intimate gestures, an unusually bright red appeared on her pretty face.
Every time she got close to Jiang Fan, she was deeply attracted by his looks and temperament.
Subconsciously, she recalled her mother's teachings: "In this world, you have to fight for everything, men, money. Zihan, you must choose a good man while you are young and marry a rich man. Don't end up like your mother, serving an old man all day long."
Mom is right!
If Jiang Fan is truly an outstanding man, why can't I snatch him away? My mother says that rich and powerful men are often old geezers, and if I have the chance, I must find a young master I find pleasing to the eye.
After all, the young master can inherit the family fortune.
Jiang Fan is handsome, cares about me a lot, and is also very rich.
By Mom's standards, he should be considered a rich kid, right? "I'm full~ Let's go home, bro."
Xia Zihan naturally took Jiang Fan's arm, while the soft, snow-white mochi intentionally or unintentionally brushed past him.
My mother says my greatest asset is my youth and perfect body.
She has practiced dance for many years in order to showcase her strengths.
Before my sister-in-law comes back... I should make a good impression on Brother Jiang Fan!
Xia Zihan inherited her stepmother's cleverness; she's not stupid.
However, she really didn't expect... that was her sister-in-law... well... quite a lot.
After buying clothes and having dinner.
Jiang Fan and Xia Zihan returned to their new home.
Wow, Brother Jiang Fan, your house is quite big!
"It's still not as good as your house, but it'll do."
Xia Zihan excitedly walked around the room.
"Come on, this will be your room from now on."
Jiang Fan led her to another bedroom and laid down three rules.
"Here's the room key. I won't go into your room, but please remember to tidy it up."
She nodded frantically, like a chick pecking at rice.
"Buy whatever you need yourself. I've already given you the money. If you need more, just ask me."
"it is good!"
Jiang Fan thought for a moment and said, "I might be staying out overnight quite often during the week. If you get hungry at night, just order takeout or go out to eat."
"If you want to travel, download the Dongcheng Tong APP, which has tour packages available."
