The Rebirth of the Lazy Nobles Woman
Chapter 5: Go Home

Jiang Shuxuan had face reading skills, so he immediately scanned his face to check his luck.

His brow bone was slightly raised and his forehead was wide, while his eyes and eyebrows were proportionate. Her lips were plump and when she smiled it showed two shallow dimples. Normally, this kind of person would be a righteous person and have great wealth, and could be said to be a child blessed by heaven, but for some unknown reason, he said, the reading of his face indicated that his life would end abruptly and horribly.

Jiang Shuxuan frowned as he pondered why this was happening.

He didn't bring her back on a whim, but because …

Gu Xiqiao did not know what Jiang Shuxuan was thinking but answered all the questions he had honestly asked.

Seeing how carefully he answered the question and glanced at her from time to time to see her reaction, his heart immediately softened.

‘She's really a kid,’ she thought.

And as he spoke, the hint of doubt in his eyes disappeared.

Gu Xiqiao is a fun girl — Handsome, with a clear and intelligent attitude along with fresh air for her like a fairy entering into the human world. Madam Zhang had thanked her for prescribing medicine for him, and now that they had interacted, she had grown more fond of this girl.

In just two days, Madam Zhang began to regard Gu Xiqiao as her daughter.

Gu Xiqiao was finally able to sleep soundly, and the next day he was awakened by a bright light. His long eyelashes fluttered slightly before he opened his eyes, and as he looked at his whereabouts, he hid his cold gaze instinctively.

Light came from the curtain opened by Madam Zhang, and the elder smiled brightly as he watched her move. “Good morning Miss Gu, clean yourself up and down for breakfast. Lord Jiang has been waiting for you. “

Gu Xiqiao raised his eyebrows before finally reacting, saying good morning to Madam Zhang as well.

He had not had the chance to sleep well for so long that he had almost forgotten what it was like. In the last moments of his past life, even sleep became a luxury for him while while in a virtual room, he did not even need sleep. Being able to sleep in such an unawakened state was unimaginable to him.

Downstairs, Jiang Shuxuan was sitting near a table with a laptop, and when he saw her coming down, he asked his servant to bring them breakfast.

[Dig! Daily Good Deeds mission activated: Jiang Shuxuan has been bullied by hackers and has lost a piece of confidential data. Help him get it back!]

[Mission completion reward: 10 Points]

“This is beyond my depth ..” Gu Xiqiao stared at the noodle bowl, before registering the system sound in his head.

Becoming a hacker? This is not his area of expertise.

The spirit system made a proud expression. [This system is the strongest virtual system in the universe, and Earth's technology is just a child's game in my eyes. All the strongest firewalls in the world are useless before me!]

Suddenly, he thought of something that would make Gu Xiqiao interested.

[Beauty Qiao, look at this!]

A semi-transparent screen appeared in front of Gu Xiqiao, and there was a Weibo web page on it with a dense set of words along with some pictures, and it was also scrolling itself. Gu Xiqiao looked at it and realized that it was a photo of Gu Xijin's torn clothes. The people who posted about it were all well-known accounts, and there were a lot of heartless comments from the people who came from it.

Gu Xiqiao only looked at the entire courtyard at a glance before his mood greatly lifted. He narrowed his eyes lazily, but it still could not hide his mischievous smile.

The photos of the banquet may have been leaked, and even though the faces of the people in the photo were censored, there were quite a number of people who knew the truth. Now that these photos were leaked, Gu Xijin became the laughingstock of everyone on the internet!

The peacock may have gone mad from being angry that its feathers had been plucked!

Jiang Shuxuan looked up just in time to see his smiling expression, and while he was confused about why he was so happy just from eating breakfast, this scene enlightened the simple act of eating breakfast itself.

Upon completion, Gu Xiqiao managed to sneak into the study room with the help of the system.

After he finished, he got down and started using the spare laptop that Jiang Shuxuan had borrowed to surf the financial website. Madam Zhang approached and took a look, but she was unable to understand anything other than the red and green colors of the website.

Jiang Shuxuan did the same, and he knew what he was trying to do. “Do you buy securities?”

As soon as Gu Xiqiao heard his voice, he closed the laptop and looked at him. “Brother Jiang, I have to go home today.”

“Today?” Jiang Shuxuan was already sitting on the sofa with the magazine, and as soon as he heard this he looked at him with a cold gaze.

“Yes, I have to go to school tomorrow.” He definitely has to go back to the Gu family sometime, so he decided this is the right time to return.

The fifth of May was the day that the Xia family would visit the Gu family.

Su Waner had always liked Xia Zijun, so she would probably be too excited upon his arrival to not care at all for Gu Xiqiao. Hence, he probably would do nothing but file a complaint with Gu Zuhui.

If it was the past, Gu Xiqiao was still worried about gaining their good graces in the hope of a piece of family love, she actually threw away those worries this time.

It was also the truth that she had to go to school tomorrow, and she had to go home to pick up her textbooks.

After thinking about this for a while, there was no better time to go home.

Jiang Shuxuan wanted to refuse when he saw his frail face, but then again who could refuse his request to go home?

He did not try to stop her again and stood up to pick up her jacket and car keys. “Good.”

“Where do you live?” Jiang Shuxuan asked as he started his car.

Gu Xiqiao was silent for a moment before replying, “Shanhe Residence Area, no. 16. “

This answer made Jiang Shuxuan raise his eyebrows in shock. The Manor Shanhe area is one of the most expensive areas in N City and is famous for hosting some of the most influential people in the city. Although he was not from N City, at least he knew this much.

Very quickly, they reached their destination.

“I've saved my number here, so if anything happens, my phone is okay?” When the car stopped, Jiang Shuxuan got down from the car and went to help Gu Xiqiao open the car door by his side, before taking out an elaborate small box. After living with him for two days, he already knew that he was the type who rejected the goodwill of others, so he simply put the box into his hands without giving him a chance to refuse.

The day before, she asked about her phone number, but she said that she had no phone of her own. Gu Xiqiao had not expected him to give her a gift, and so quickly too.

He gawked slightly as he looked at the pink box in his hand.

Hey, does he think he accepted his good intentions because of his money?

Then he felt another headache coming and massaging his temples with his fingers as he glanced at Jiang Shuxuan, the rejection in his eyes quite obvious. He did not buy the phone just because he had no one to contact, and not because he could not?

Seeing his movements, Jiang Shuxuan knew that the girl was daydreaming. Smiling softly, he nodded with vigor. Take it, take it as a meeting gift from me.

Gu Xiqiao foolishly nodded and got down from the car, before staring at the tall man.

“Thank you, Brother Jiang.”

The girl's face looked like a piece of glowing jade under the morning sunlight without a single flaw. Her hair was draped behind her head, slightly swaying from the wind and accentuating her already pale skin.

After that, what caught his attention next was his figure that was almost too thin.
