Chapter 15: It’s Easy to Go from Frugal to Extravagant, but Hard to Go from Extravagant to Frugal

Jian Minghui looked at Jian Hongyou with bright eyes, waiting to be praised.

Jian Hongyou tasted a piece of braised pork.

She praised generously, “Delicious, Xiaohui, you have the potential to be a six-star hotel chef.”

Jian Minghui smiled shyly.

“It’s not that exaggerated.”

Actually, the braised pork was quite ordinary, the meat was a bit tough, and the sugar syrup was also burnt.

Jian Hongyou just wanted to encourage her brother.

Jian Hongyou was very happy that her brother was so sensible.

It’s easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but hard to go from extravagant to frugal.

Jian Minghui had been living a life of luxury since he was a child, never experiencing hardship, at most he had suffered the hardship of studying.

With such a big change in the family, he didn’t complain at all, nor did he become depressed, he was still so positive and sunny.

Now, to save money, he even learned to cook.

Jian Hongyou patted his shoulder.

“Xiaohui, any girl who marries you in the future will be very happy.”

These days, men who can cook are very popular.

Jian Minghui blushed, “Sister, our family has so much debt, what girl would dare to marry me!”

If girls heard that their family owed so much debt, they would definitely be scared away.

But he didn’t have any plans to find a girlfriend now, he just wanted to work hard and earn money to pay off the debt.

Jian Hongyou said, “Don’t worry, I’m here, this debt will be repaid soon.”

She signed with Fengxing, with the Yu family as her backing, her resources would be even better in the future. If things go smoothly, she can pay off the debt within a few years.

“Sister, don’t push yourself so hard, I’ve graduated and started making money, I’ll take my share of the family debt.”

“Okay.”

Jian Hongyou didn’t take all the responsibility on herself.

Jian Minghui had grown up, and he was at an age where his self-esteem was very strong.

Appropriate responsibility can make a person grow.

Jian’s mother, sweeping away the gloom of losing her husband, smiled.

Her son and daughter were both sensible, it was her blessing.

What else could she be dissatisfied with?

Jian Minghui saw that his sister had only eaten one piece of braised pork and hadn’t touched the dish since.

“Sister, didn’t you say the braised pork was delicious? Why don’t you eat it?”

“I’ve been indulging myself lately, I can’t eat anymore, I need to maintain my figure.”

Jian Minghui nodded and didn’t persuade her anymore.

His sister always had her own ideas, he couldn’t persuade her.

Just as they were halfway through their meal, Jian Hongyou received a call from Yu Nan-zheng.

“Where are you?”

“Guangming Residential Area.”

“When will you be back?”

“I’ll be back after dinner.”

“Then who will eat with me?”

“Are you still a baby? You’re so old, you still need someone to eat with you. Eat by yourself.”

After saying that, Jian Hongyou hung up the phone decisively.

Seeing Jian Minghui and Jian’s mother looking at her in surprise.

She slapped her forehead, how could she forget that there were still people there.

Jian’s mother put down her chopsticks and looked at her seriously.

“Tell me, what’s going on?”

Jian Minghui also looked serious.

He just felt that his sister signing with Fengxing so quickly was suspicious.

Jian Hongyou had to say, “I have a boyfriend.”

“Who?”

When asking this question, Jian’s mother’s voice trembled.

She was afraid to hear the name of some old man from Jian Hongyou’s mouth.

“It’s Yu Nan-zheng, my high school classmate, the one who used to fight with me all the time.”

Jian Hongyou didn’t dare tell them that she and Yu Nan-zheng were married.

Although they would eventually find out, she didn’t want to say it now, she felt that saying boyfriend would be better, they might be able to accept it a little.

Jian’s mother and Jian Minghui both had an impression of Yu Nan-zheng.

During Jian Hongyou’s entire high school period, she was inseparable from the name Yu Nan-zheng.

Whenever Jian Hongyou mentioned Yu Nan-zheng, she would become furious and want to beat someone up.

For a while, Jian Hongyou had a punching bag at home, with a picture of Yu Nan-zheng pasted on it, and she would beat the punching bag furiously when she got home from school.

Therefore, although Jian’s family had never met Yu Nan-zheng, they were very familiar with him.

Jian Minghui was puzzled, “Sister, why are you with Yu Nan-zheng?”

Jian Hongyou rubbed her head, “It’s a long story, I can’t explain it in a few words.”

“Didn’t you hate him?”

Jian Hongyou smiled awkwardly.

“That was before, he’s changed now, he’s so handsome, I can’t take my eyes off him, I fell in love with him at first sight, I’m hopelessly in love. So I made him my boyfriend.”

Jian Minghui was skeptical of her words.

“Sister, didn’t you get stimulated by Guan Huai?”

“Maybe, anyway, I like seeing Yu Nan-zheng. He’s much more handsome than Guan Huai, I’ll bring him to meet Guan Huai later, I’ll make him mad.”

Jian Minghui and Jian’s mother: “…”

Was Jian Hongyou taking revenge on Guan Huai?

“Sister, did Yu Nan-zheng help you sign with Fengxing?”

“Yeah.”

“Then he’s not that bad, he actually helped you, you used to beat him to the ground.”

“That was all in the past, we’re good now.”

“Sister, you’re happy, that’s all that matters.”

In Jian Minghui’s opinion, Jian Hongyou and Yu Nan-zheng being together was a revenge on Guan Huai.

But as long as his sister was happy, it didn’t matter.

Besides, Yu Nan-zheng actually helped his sister, for this alone, Jian Minghui was on his side.

Jian’s mother was worried.

“Find some time to bring Yu Nan-zheng back, we’ll meet him.”

Jian Hongyou laughed it off.

“We’ll see, he’s very busy, I’ll go back and ask him when he’s free.”

Yu Nan-zheng was hung up on, he was very unhappy.

He had no appetite for the delicious food on the table.

He had dropped everything and come back to have dinner with Jian Hongyou, but she had run off.

When Jian Hongyou returned to Tanshiyuan No. 1, it was already ten o’clock at night.

Seeing that Yu Nan-zheng’s door was ajar, she pushed it open and walked in.

Yu Nan-zheng had just come out of the bathroom, only wearing a bath towel around his waist.

Broad shoulders, narrow waist, eight pack abs, healthy wheat-colored skin.

Water droplets rolled down, disappearing into his mermaid line.

Jian Hongyou was speechless.

This guy was too sexy!

Jian Hongyou couldn’t take her eyes off him.

Yu Nan-zheng calmly pulled the bath towel down a little, it was precariously hanging, extremely dangerous.

Jian Hongyou touched her burning face, she felt that if she looked any longer, she would be unable to resist.

To make a move on Yu Nan-zheng, that would be too shameful.

She scanned the room and saw the blanket on the bed, she grabbed it and threw it over Yu Nan-zheng.

“It’s so cold, put it on, don’t catch a cold.”

Yu Nan-zheng: “…”

He was like this, and Jian Hongyou still didn’t take the bait.

Yu Nan-zheng coughed, “Why are you just back?”

“I had dinner and chatted with my brother for a while.”

Yu Nan-zheng muttered, “What’s there to talk about?”

He hated all the male creatures who had contact with Jian Hongyou.

Jian Hongyou didn’t bother with him.

Yu Nan-zheng was strange sometimes, his brain circuits were particularly unique.

She came over to ask Yu Nan-zheng something, to be precise, she was concerned about him.

“We’re married, did your dad give you control of the company?”

Yu Nan-zheng had helped her a lot, he had solved her crisis, she was grateful.

Yu Nan-zheng said calmly, “He did.”

Yu Weiye ran away as fast as he could.

He was already on a plane to a foreign country with Tang, enjoying their world for two.

Jian Hongyou was relieved.

She waved her hand, “Goodnight.”
