Chapter 64 Chu Mingzhou's Purpose
By the time Xu Heyi returned, it was already quite late. After accepting the 1000 yuan from Xu Heyi, Su Nuannuan planned to return to school.

Xu Heyi's family originally wanted to send Su Nuannuan away, but she refused.

The school was very close by, and she didn't want to trouble the three of them to make the trip. Besides, it was getting late, and Su Nuannuan wanted the three of them to go home early.

"In that case, Nuannuan, why don't you come to my house to play tomorrow? I'll have your godfather pick you up from school."

Shen Yuan held Su Nuannuan's hand and said.

Su Nuannuan shook her head and refused, thinking that she still had to look at houses tomorrow.

"No, Godmother, I have something to do tomorrow. I'll definitely come to your house next time I have a holiday."

Knowing that Su Nuannuan was busy, Shen Yuan didn't insist. However, she gave her some instructions before leaving.

"Okay. Nuannuan, you must come to my house to play next time you have a holiday."

Su Nuannuan nodded.

"Goodbye, sister."

Xu Xiaotian obediently waved goodbye to Su Nuannuan.

Su Nuannuan smiled at the adorable Xu Xiaotian and waved to him.

Xu Heyi rode away on his bicycle, carrying Shen Yuan and Xu Xiaotian. Watching the three figures disappear into the distance, Su Nuannuan also bid farewell to the Chu family.

"Uncle Chu, Aunt Ji, Sister Yalan, I'm going back to school too."

Ji Lan was a little reluctant to part with Su Nuannuan, this cute and pretty little girl. Although she already had a daughter, it was as if she had gained a son after he was born; she had never experienced a sweet and adorable daughter doting on her. Therefore, she liked Su Nuannuan, such a well-behaved and lovely girl, so much.

"Nuan Nuan, you must come to my house to play often."

Zhao Yalan put her arm around Ji Lan's and said.

"Don't worry, Mom. Nuannuan is planning to buy the house across the street. She's going to go take a look with me tomorrow. If all goes well, Nuannuan will be our neighbor."

After Zhao Yalan finished speaking, Ji Lan looked at Su Nuannuan with surprise.

"That's great. Yalan, you must help Nuannuan find a good house."

Although she didn't understand why Su Nuannuan, a freshman in college, would buy a house, she didn't ask too many questions. Instead, she instructed Zhao Yalan to help Su Nuannuan.

Su Nuannuan nodded. Zhao Yalan was right. If there weren't any major problems with the house, she would buy it.

She had observed that the people living in this area were generally well-mannered. Furthermore, the police station was only 500 meters away. Therefore, Su Nuannuan wasn't worried at all about any shady characters daring to harass her.

"Don't worry, Mom. I'll take care of Nuannuan's house purchase."

Zhao Yalan thought Su Nuannuan would definitely like the house across the street. She had been inside the house. If it weren't for her husband's job transfer, she would definitely have bought it.

Just as Su Nuannuan was leaving, Chu Mingzhou suddenly spoke up.

"Su, let me see you off."

Chu Mingzhou's offer to see Su Nuannuan off surprised everyone in the Chu family. They all looked at Chu Mingzhou, wondering why the boy, who usually disliked interacting with strangers, would take the initiative to befriend Su Nuannuan.

It's important to know that Chu Mingzhou had always had a detached and indifferent demeanor since childhood. Even when facing his family, he remained the same, leading Ji Lan and Chu Wenzhu to often wonder if they had given birth to someone with facial paralysis. It wasn't until Chu Mingzhou grew up that they realized he was simply aloof and didn't like to communicate with others.

Su Nuannuan was equally puzzled. She and Chu Mingzhou had no connection, so why would he offer to drive her home?

Chu Mingzhou's behavior today was completely out of character. For a moment, no one spoke. Finally, Chu Mingxia spoke.

"Brother, did you take the wrong medicine today?"

As soon as Chu Mingxia finished speaking, Ji Lan slapped the back of her head. "Chu Mingxia, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Seeing Su Nuannuan looking at him with suspicion, as if she wouldn't leave with him unless he gave a clear explanation, Chu Mingzhou's eyes flickered, and he uttered the first lie of his life.

"I'm going back to school to do an experiment tonight, so I'll give Su a ride."

After Chu Mingzhou spoke, everyone suddenly realized. This was the Chu Mingzhou they knew.

Chu Mingzhou majored in chemistry at university. Since his junior year, he had been doing experiments with his professors. At first, he worked as a professor's assistant, but later he was able to complete some simple experiments independently. He often lost track of time while doing experiments, sometimes finishing in the middle of the night. Therefore, to save time, he stayed at the university on weekends.

However, Su Nuannuan felt this wasn't true. Looking at the tall, handsome young man, Su Nuannuan felt that he was intentionally approaching her.

The Chu family members all believed Chu Mingzhou's explanation, Ji Lan said to Chu Mingzhou.

"Mingzhou, you need to get Nuannuan back to school safely. Nuannuan is a little girl, don't scare her with your cold face."

Upon hearing Ji Lan's words, Chu Mingzhou frowned.

I was shocked! Really?
Looking at Su Nuannuan, who looked like a fairy, Chu Mingzhou relaxed his facial expression, and his originally cold and hard eyebrows softened a lot.

Upon seeing this, Ji Lan smiled.

Although Su Nuannuan didn't know why Chu Mingzhou approached her, she felt he wouldn't hurt her. After all, they had no grudges, and Chu Mingzhou wasn't that kind of person.

Therefore, Su Nuannuan did not refuse Chu Mingzhou's offer to take her back to school.

After agreeing to meet Zhao Yalan the next day, Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou left.

The two walked side by side without saying a word.

Chu Mingzhou did have a purpose in offering to take Su Nuannuan home, but now he didn't know how to bring it up.

Su Nuannuan, adhering to the principle of "if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move," remained silent. Thus, the two remained in a stalemate.

It wasn't until they were almost inside the school gate that Chu Mingzhou spoke, revealing his purpose.

"Su, do you still have any wild ginseng slices? I'd like to buy some."

Su Nuannuan hadn't expected that Chu Mingzhou's purpose was actually wild ginseng slices. But then, recalling Chu Mingzhou's obvious interest in wild ginseng slices back at the Chu family, Su Nuannuan understood.

She didn't speak, but instead pondered whether to sell the wild ginseng slices to Chu Mingzhou. Besides the two cans she sold today, she still had three cans left.

Seeing that Su Nuannuan didn't refuse, Chu Mingzhou knew she still had wild ginseng slices. His eyes lit up, and he continued.

“I am willing to pay 100 yuan per gram for wild ginseng slices.”

Chu Mingzhou felt that Su Nuannuan didn't have many wild ginseng slices left, and she definitely wouldn't be willing to sell them. Therefore, he wanted to buy them at a high price.

Su Nuannuan gasped when she heard Chu Mingzhou's offer.

100 yuan per gram!
She originally thought that Uncle Chu's offer was the highest, but she didn't expect his son to be even more aggressive!
Su Nuannuan was somewhat tempted. She still had three cans left, and selling one to Chu Mingzhou wasn't out of the question. However, she had reservations. How could a young man who had just started university have so much money?
Do Aunt Ji and Uncle Chu know? They probably don't, otherwise they wouldn't have gone to her to buy it behind their backs.

Su Nuannuan was worried that if she sold herself, it would cause trouble for Ji Lan and Chu Wenzhu.

Therefore, Su Nuannuan gritted her teeth, suppressed the restlessness in her heart, and spoke.

"I'm sorry, Chu, I don't have any left."

After saying that, Su Nuannuan turned and ran away, worried that if she stayed any longer, she would succumb to the temptation of money and agree to Chu Mingzhou's offer.

Watching the girl's departing figure, Chu Mingzhou was somewhat puzzled.

She was about to agree to me just now, so why did she change her mind at the last minute?
