Eight o'clock the next morning.
Jiang Nan opened his bloodshot eyes after spending the whole night in fear.
771 detected that his brain had been active all night and couldn't help asking, [What's there to be afraid of?]
With two dark circles under his eyes, Jiang Nan went to the bathroom to brush his teeth.
The electric toothbrush buzzed as it vibrated. He mumbled around it, "Big Shot Fu is one thing, but the Jiang Family lived with the original host for over twenty years. How could they possibly not notice there's someone different inside?"
[You can relax about that.] 771 explained, [The original host was a really odd one. He moved into an apartment near his school all by himself back in middle school and barely went home a few times a year. Otherwise, he couldn't have become an ungrateful wretch famous throughout the imperial capital.]
Jiang Nan breathed a sigh of relief, then accused him, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
771 looked innocent. [You never asked.]
"Pfft-"
Jiang Nan silently spat out a mouthful of foam and sneered.
When he went downstairs, Fu Jingzhou was already dressed and sitting on the sofa, reading documents.
In a rare change, he wore casual clothes that day, white on top and black below. His black hair fell softly over his forehead, making him look less severe and more approachable.
He already had refined, elegant features, with upturned eyes and an alluring red beauty mark. Whenever he lowered his gaze, he always looked aloof and untouched by worldly concerns.
Aside from his nasty mouth, everything else about him was great.
Jiang Nan stole a few extra looks at him.
Fu Jingzhou glanced up calmly, his raven-feather lashes fluttering slightly.
"Why are you looking at me?"
Jiang Nan swallowed instinctively.
He considered himself straight, not gay. But faced with such exquisite beauty, he was still tempted.
So he pressed his lips together and said, "You're just too good-looking."
Fu Jingzhou paused. In truth, he didn't particularly like people complimenting his looks.
As everyone knew, when Fu Jingzhou officially took over as executive president of the Fu Group a year ago, plenty of outsiders had predicted his failure.
All because of his excessively stunning face.
People often admired good-looking people, yet instinctively distrusted them.
Then Jiang Nan said tenderly, "There are only four kinds of ducks. Do you know which four?"
The corner of Fu Jingzhou's mouth twitched. "Go on. I'm listening."
Jiang Nan cleared his throat. "Psyduck, Donald Duck, little yellow ducks, and, baby, you're so ducking gorgeous."
Fu Jingzhou was speechless for a moment, then gave him a swat on the head. "Old Yang is waiting outside. Get going."
The Jiang Family was also a thoroughly established, century-old prestigious family in the imperial capital. But its roots weren't as deep as the Fu Family's. The Jiang Family had made its start in electronics and had since expanded extensively into livestreaming and video.
The popular online streaming site Peach Video belonged to the Jiang Family, with daily profits in the tens of millions.
The Jiang Family lived in South Bridge Cloud Lane in the western part of the city. The entire area was a villa district, with mountains nearby and exceptionally fresh air.
The Jiang Family had probably notified security beforehand, because the guards didn't stop the Maybach when it reached the entrance to South Bridge Cloud Lane.
The Maybach entered without trouble and finally stopped in front of Villa Seventeen.
The Jiang Family had already been waiting at the entrance for quite some time.
On the way there, Jiang Nan had frantically crammed information about the Jiang Family with 771's help.
Though the Jiang Family was wealthy too, it didn't have as many collateral branches and illegitimate children as the Fu Family. In this generation, the family head, Jiang Qingyuan, had married only one wife and had two children.
The elder son, Jiang Qingye, had joined the company after graduating and smoothly taken over.
The younger son appeared to be Jiang Nan now, but was actually Shen Anbai, a currently popular young actor in the entertainment industry.
Apart from them, everyone else was unimportant.
