Chapter 301 Lying Down and Winning: Jiang Nansun's Second Step - A Successful Kiss!
Next, Jiang Nansun took the initiative to offer her a kiss.
"Ding dong! Congratulations, Master, you have successfully won the second step of Jiang Nansun's kiss! Reward: Master's top-notch violin playing skills!"
There are some things worth mentioning about Jiang Nansun's violin playing.
Jiang Nansun had a dispute with her father about violin playing.
Jiang Nansun simply wanted to play the violin; she didn't want to use it to meet any social elites or men.
Jiang Nansun's father pressured her, and Jiang Nansun poured hot water directly on the violin, which was worth 20 yuan. This was really a waste of a precious object.
According to the original timeline, Jiang Nansun's father said that the reason she bought the best violin, hired the best teacher, and provided Jiang Nansun with the highest standard of living was ultimately because she hoped that Jiang Nansun could find a husband with excellent conditions.
Jiang Nansun was spoiled by her father. She didn't appreciate his kindness at all. She wouldn't listen to his advice and didn't care about his intentions.
Without hesitation, she poured boiling water on the violin, destroying the 20 yuan violin and also ruthlessly shattering her father's beautiful dream.
To be fair, her father's idea wasn't wrong; who wouldn't want their daughter to marry into a good family?
Ironically, Jiang Nansun was initially very resistant to her father's arrangements, but later in the original timeline, she still won the admiration of the rich and handsome Wang Yongzheng through her violin playing.
It was after Jiang Nansun's father passed away that Jiang Nansun went abroad with her mother and aunt, where she met Wang Yongzheng, a handsome and wealthy Taiwanese man.
At that time, Wang Yongzheng invited her to play the violin.
Jiang Nansun picked up her familiar yet unfamiliar violin and exuded a captivating goddess-like aura, leaving Wang Yongzheng utterly mesmerized and unable to leave her side.
So Wang Yongzheng immediately confessed his feelings to Jiang Nansun.
Jiang Nansun once looked down on her father and the set of theories he instilled in her. She was determined to go against her father and happened to fall for Zhang Anren, a man from a poor background who had achieved success.
However, faced with the enormous debts left after her father's death, Zhang Anren retreated like a turtle, completely cutting off contact with her family and Jiang Nansun.
In truth, Jiang Nansun's father used his own death to make Jiang Nansun see Zhang Anren's true colors, forcing this little princess to grow up overnight and face the cruel reality, but the price was too high.
Although Jiang Nansun's father incurred huge debts from stock speculation, which was entirely his own fault, her cultivation of her daughter Jiang Nansun's various qualities and skills, especially in violin, still helped Jiang Nansun find Wang Yongzheng, who seemed to be a better match for her.
Therefore, in dealing with people and things, it's always good to have more skills. Learning more, experiencing more things, and broadening your horizons are ultimately beneficial.
Especially for girls, everyone wants to be a carefree little princess, pampered by their parents when they are young and by their husbands when they grow up, living a life of luxury without having to worry about anything.
But few people are so lucky. When faced with the usual misfortunes in life, they ultimately have to rely on themselves!
Although this violin performance seemed meaningless to Cao Meng at this moment, and he didn't need to attract Wang Yongzheng like Jiang Nansun did with his violin.
However, having more skills is never a bad thing. With this violin playing skill, Cao Meng can still exchange ideas with Jiang Nansun and other women with artistic talent.
Chapter 302 Lying Down and Winning: Jiang Nansun's Third Step of Caressing Successfully!
Next, Cao Meng and Jiang Nansun's date moved to the next stage.
Although Jiang Nansun was a little shy, she eventually agreed to take a bath with Cao Meng.
Jiang Nansun had already made up her mind to give herself to Cao Meng tonight, so she wouldn't be overly shy.
Cao Meng noticed that Jiang Nansun's skin was really well-maintained; it was fair, delicate, smooth, and flawless.
Her skin was exceptionally fair, like milk, smooth and shiny.
This is the kind of good skin that only a pampered rich girl would have.
This type of skin, resembling milk, is known as "milk skin" and has always been one of the ideal standards pursued by women.
Milk skin refers to a skin condition where the surface is smooth, delicate, fair, and radiant, resembling the smoothness of milk.
Milky skin is usually the result of a combination of factors, including sufficient skin hydration, normal metabolism, good blood circulation, and adequate content of structural substances such as collagen and elastin fibers.
To achieve the effect of milky skin, Jiang Nansun pays great attention to her skincare routine, maintaining adequate hydration and drinking enough water or other sugar-free, low-calorie beverages every day.
Regular deep cleansing and moisturizing removes dirt and dead skin cells from the skin's surface while replenishing moisture and nutrients.
A balanced diet includes sufficient protein, vitamins C and E, and other nutrients that contribute to healthy skin.
Avoid excessive sun exposure and environmental pollution; choose appropriate sun protection and protective measures.
Moderate exercise promotes blood circulation and metabolism, which is beneficial for healthy skin.
Jiang Nansun maintains excellent skin condition not only due to her personal skincare routine but also closely related to her dietary habits. She pays attention to a healthy diet, increasing her intake of fruits, vegetables, and water to help eliminate toxins and maintain bright, smooth skin.
Her skin was so beautiful that Cao Meng couldn't help but touch it.
At first glance, Jiang Nansun may not appear to be very plump, or even a bit thin.
But that's because Jiang Nansun always dressed in a very elegant and conservative way, so you couldn't tell what kind of figure she actually had.
Cao Meng only then realized that Jiang Nansun's figure was no less than Zhu Suosuo's. Although she wasn't as voluptuous as Lan Weiwei, she was still much better than the average woman.
Her great figure made Cao Meng even more enamored with her.
It even reminded him of the song "I Can't Let Go": "So beautiful that fish sink and geese fall from the sky, the moon hides and flowers blush."
Having someone by my side is like basking in spring sunshine; I would die without regret.
Even if life is short, let her beauty and charm entangle me.
A mutual affection, a reciprocal exchange—how fortunate to be a couple!
Ah, let me surrender my land and rivers...
Cao Meng truly felt this way at that moment.

Chapter 303 Jiang Nansun is actually still a pure young girl!
Cao Meng had always believed that Jiang Nansun, after all, had had a boyfriend before and had dated him for more than three years, so she couldn't be an innocent girl.
But unexpectedly, Jiang Nansun was still...
Cao Meng later learned that Jiang Nansun was still a pure young girl.
Because Jiang Nansun had long ago discovered the character flaws of her boyfriend, Zhang Anren.
Before this, Jiang Nansun had always been a little princess living in a world of truth, goodness, and beauty; she couldn't tolerate any imperfections.
For the first twenty years of her life, Jiang Nansun was well protected by her family, so she always had her own principles and believed that all people and things were black and white.
At that time, Jiang Nansun could not understand why Zhang Anren would publicly expose Wang Yongzheng's shortcomings just for a spot to stay at the university.
She believes that Zhang Anren's behavior is selfish and immoral.
But Zhang Anren told her that the spot for staying at the school was very important to him, as it meant that Jiang Nansun's family would think more highly of him.
Furthermore, he did not feel that he had done anything wrong, because if Wang Yongzheng had not made a mistake, what reason would he have to make Wang Yongzheng suffer a loss?
If he insists on apologizing, he can apologize to Wang Yongzheng privately.
At that time, Jiang Nansun began to have serious doubts about Zhang Anren's character for the first time.
Therefore, Jiang Nansun was unwilling to live with her partner so early.
He also wanted to assess the other person's character.
As a result, Zhang Anren's character was questioned for the second time.
Zhang Anren concealed from Jiang Nansun the fact that Yuan Yuan was his ex-girlfriend.
He lied and claimed that she was just his junior high school classmate, and that she was unfamiliar with the area and had come to Shanghai to stay with him.
Jiang Nansun didn't pay much attention at first, but suggested that she take Yuan Yuan in so that her boyfriend could avoid suspicion. This certainly helped Zhang Anren a lot.
The perceptive Jiang Nansun, after spending some time with Yuan Yuan, noticed clues that the two had a close relationship.
She quietly began to investigate the relationship between the two.
She identified herself as Yuan Yuan and asked Zhang Anren's college classmate for a photo of the two of them at the Oriental Pearl Tower.
Jiang Nansun started dating Zhang Anren during his postgraduate studies. His university classmates all thought his girlfriend was Yuan Yuan, so they did not suspect Jiang Nansun's intentions.
That photo undoubtedly proved that Yuan Yuan was Zhang Anren's ex-girlfriend, and also implied that Zhang Anren was lying and that he owed Yuan Yuan something.
Given Zhang Anren's personality, if he were honest and hadn't mistreated Yuan Yuan in his previous relationship, he wouldn't risk being misunderstood by Nan Sun to help his ex-girlfriend.
No one understands this better than Jiang Nansun.
She naturally knew that Yuan Yuan's main purpose in seeking refuge with Zhang Anren was to use Zhang Anren as a springboard to establish herself in Shanghai.
These two are a perfect match. Jiang Nansun is not worried about Zhang Anren changing his mind, because since he chose her for his own benefit, he will not give up his efforts. However, she has to guard against Yuan Yuan wanting to rekindle their old relationship.
Therefore, Jiang Nansun, without hesitation, drove away his love rival Yuan Yuan without Zhang Anren's knowledge.
She handled the whole thing very respectably: she lent Yuan Yuan money to attend a vocational school, hoping to give her a professional education.
With such generous terms, Yuan Yuan naturally couldn't refuse.
Yuan Yuan, who is determined to stay in the big city, is very ambitious, just like Zhang Anren.
"I want to be like those white-collar workers who come to buy coffee every day, working in the best office buildings, wearing nice clothes, taking planes to travel all over the world for business, staying in all kinds of hotels, and meeting with all kinds of high-class people!"
Chapter 304 Jiang Nansun entrusts himself to Cao Meng!
Jiang Nansun saw even more clearly Zhang Anren's character flaws from the Yuan Yuan incident, so she was even less likely to completely entrust herself to Zhang Anren.
Furthermore, the subsequent debt issue further solidified Jiang Nansun's negative view of Zhang Anren.
If Cao Meng hadn't suddenly appeared before Jiang Nansun, Jiang Nansun might have chosen to hand himself over to Wang Yongzheng.
But now Cao Meng has suddenly appeared out of nowhere. According to Jiang Nansun's best friend Zhu Suosuo, this man has no other flaws except for being a womanizer. He is much better than her ex-boyfriend Zhang Anren in every way.
Therefore, Jiang Nansun made up his mind to hand himself over to Cao Meng.
Jiang Nansun even considered introducing Zhang Anren's ex-girlfriend, Yuan Yuan, to Cao Meng if Cao Meng was still not satisfied.
Jiang Nansun couldn't help but think of Yuan Yuan; that woman really had a way with things.
Yuan Yuan made no attempt to conceal her ambitions from Jiang Nansun.
This was something Jiang Nansun really didn't expect; she had indeed underestimated Yuan Yuan before.
She had found all sorts of learning materials in advance, thinking that Yuan Yuan would choose a vocational school that offered quick learning opportunities, such as beauty, accounting, or pastry making.
However, Yuan Yuan firmly stated that she wanted to learn business English so that she could study while working as a secretary in the future.
Jiang Nansun did this not because she wanted to be a nice person; she had a condition: Yuan Yuan could not reveal a single word about the ins and outs of this matter to Zhang Anren.
“If Zhang Anren finds out about our conversation, you should go and ask him for the money!”
Jiang Nansun also cleverly concealed her purpose in doing so, only telling Yuan Yuan that she wanted to avoid trouble and that since Zhang Anren was keeping it from her, she didn't necessarily have to bring it up.
It has to be said that Jiang Nansun, who is usually aloof and detached from worldly affairs, has impressed Zhu Suosuo in this matter.
"You and your mother are really alike in this respect. You both seem naive at times, but when something happens, you realize that you've already prepared your intelligence and physical strength!"
Nan Sun's mother also had a seemingly gentle and mild personality, but she had already planned everything for her daughter in the crucial moments.
She secretly exchanged all the jewelry in the house for money and left it to Nansun, so that her husband wouldn't squander it all.
Jiang Nansun said that she and her mother were forced into this situation by their circumstances, and she never considered herself a princess.
After the Jiang family fell into ruin, Nan Sun had no choice but to take on the responsibility of supporting her family and paying off debts. Her later dealings with Da Luo proved that she was no longer the Jiang Nan Sun who hated evil as much as before.
To a large extent, she became like the Zhu Suosuo of the past, determined to become an economically independent person.
