I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping

Chapter 2400 - 1518: Luck

No need for Jiang Huazi to ask, Fang Weiguo spoke first, "Hmm, as long as the two kids are happy, things like bride price don’t matter."

Pan Hui nodded silently as well.

Jiang Huazi sighed and simultaneously smiled bitterly, "But how many girls in the world are as nice as Qing Qing, and how many families like Brother Fang and Sister Pan are so understanding and sensible."

"There will be. Don’t you agree?"

Jiang Chen couldn’t allow this kid to gloat over his situation and shifted the topic.

Hong Xiaoyu secretly complained that his cousin wasn’t loyal, but nodded solemnly on the surface, "Well! While girls as good as Sister Fang Qing are rare, there definitely must be more than one."

Jiang Huazi laughed and teased his son, "Why don’t you try telling your girlfriend not to ask for a bride price?"

A moment ago, Hong Xiaoyu had been talking confidently, but suddenly his face showed awkwardness and he was at a loss.

Still so inexperienced.

Really can’t compare to his brother.

"Scared, aren’t you? Still bragging here."

Jiang Huazi continued to tease his son.

"I think I smell something burning, Mom, has your soup cooked too long?"

"Oh dear."

Jiang Huazi hurriedly got up and rushed into the kitchen.

Several families who have known each other for many years sat in a small apartment, filled with laughter and joy.

"He’s learning to be smart now."

The brothers walked into the room.

The Fang Family chatted and watched TV in the living room.

"We’re all working now, gotta be smooth, right bro?"

Hong Xiaoyu made a gesture as if adjusting a tie.

"You still haven’t told your parents?"

Jiang Chen stood with his rear resting against the computer desk.

"Told them what?"

"About your relationship."

"I did tell them." Hong Xiaoyu sounded puzzled.

"Stop pretending. Did your parents find out Xue Ling’s background?"

Hong Xiaoyu slowly shook his head, "... Not yet."

"Why not tell them?"

"Bro, how am I supposed to say it? Saying it might scare my mom to death."

Jiang Chen chuckled.

Nonetheless, his concerns are understandable.

The gap between the families’ backgrounds is really too large, Duan Xueying could be considered a top-tier wealthy beauty in the province, even across the central region. To an ordinary family, she’s like the moon in the sky, truly unattainable.

"Then if you don’t tell them, find some time to bring her over to meet them. River City is so close, it’s also a way to show responsibility."

"That’s easy for you to say. Bro, you’re basically shouting from a high place where you’re unaffected."

Jiang Chen raised his hand, pretending like he was going to hit him with a chestnut. Even though Jiang Chen couldn’t actually hit him, Hong Xiaoyu still retreated a step quickly.

"How am I shouting from a high place? This time is a great opportunity."

"Then why didn’t you bring your wife back when you returned?"

Hong Xiaoyu asked immediately.

Jiang Chen was momentarily speechless, his expression flickering slightly, "...My situation is different from yours."

Hong Xiaoyu didn’t continue to trouble his cousin, and changed the topic, "Bro, I heard from my mom that Brother Tie Jun is getting married?"

"Yeah."

"When is the banquet? Let me tag along then. Brother Tie Jun didn’t invite me."

"Why would he invite you?"

Jiang Chen laughed.

"I consider him like a brother too. I’m working now, can afford to give a gift."

"..."

Jiang Chen’s smile didn’t fade, "He just doesn’t want your wedding gift. Since he didn’t invite you, how can I take you with me?"

"Why not? Bringing a guest to a banquet isn’t unusual, right? Anyway, you’re single, not bringing anyone home."

To avoid excessively angering his cousin, Hong Xiaoyu quickly added, "I really want to witness Brother Tie Jun’s happiness."

"You brat!"

Jiang Chen immediately said, "If you want to go, tell Brother Tie Jun yourself. I’m not lonely, Sister Fang Qing and Brother Zili will be there."

"Isn’t Brother Zili in prison?"

"He didn’t commit murder or arson."

"Did you get him out, bro?"

"Sister Fang Qing did."

Hong Xiaoyu suddenly fell silent, looking at Jiang Chen with a deep, ambiguous gaze.

"...Bro, let me say something, don’t get angry."

"Shut up."

Jiang Chen decisively said.

But others have grown up, they won’t follow orders like a child anymore. Even though his cousin avoided it, Hong Xiaoyu bravely asked, "Is this the reason why you didn’t bring your wife back, to avoid embarrassment?"

"Who would feel embarrassed? Your Sister Fang Qing and she know each other well."

"It’s different."

Hong Xiaoyu said, "Sister Fang Qing knows her well, but that’s in Sha City. Do Brother Tie Jun and others know her? Also, your old friends here..."

True.

It’s different from being out of town.

This is his hometown, carrying his past, carrying past people, and past stories.

Perhaps.

This is also why he hasn’t mentioned it and Li Shuru hasn’t voluntarily said she wanted to come.

Seeing his cousin remain silent, Hong Xiaoyu walked over and slowly raised his hand in a rather rebellious manner, gently tapping his cousin’s shoulder, sighing empathetically.

"Bro, I understand you."

Jiang Chen seized the opportunity, straightened up, clenched his fingers, and knocked him lightly on the head.

"You understand squat."

In the living room.

Mr. and Mrs. Fang were chatting while watching TV.

What about Fang Qing?

On the balcony.

Taking a call.

"Sorry Sister Fang Qing, I just checked my phone. 6000 bucks, right?"

It’s a call from Li Shuru.

There really are lots of good girls in the world.

Look at this.

Li Shuru is much more reasonable and polite than some other person.

"Yes."

"I’ll send it to you right away. Being stingy with this trivial amount, Sister Fang Qing, don’t let him off the hook."

bucks.

For Fang Qing, it was of little consequence.

Let alone the fact that Li Shuru, who basically runs Tianci Capital, finds it trivial.

It’s no exaggeration to say, if a crisp ten thousand fell on the ground, it wouldn’t be worth it for this manager of Tianci to bend down and pick it up.

But she specifically called.

Fang Qing approaching her to claim the debt was a form of respect for her status.

And her making the call was also out of respect.

"Why didn’t you come over together?"

Fang Qing looked out at the community from the balcony.

"Busy."

Li Shuru chuckled.

"Surely you can take a day or two off, aren’t Luo Peng and the others available?"

"But...

He didn’t invite me."

"He’s got a poor memory, if you don’t mention something, he tends to forget."

"Sister Fang Qing is so right, I’ve realized that now."

Saying so, Li Shuru sighed, "Maybe next time. Sister Fang Qing, please convey my best wishes for Brother Tie Jun’s new marriage."

Fang Qing pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but didn’t, "Alright."

"I’ll send the money to Sister Fang Qing. See you back in East Sea."

Such a wonderful girl.

As the call ended, before Fang Qing could put down her phone, "Ding," the notification of transferred funds sounded.

Fang Qing glanced indifferently, held her phone, and quietly looked out the glass at the undisturbed Sha City.

Actually.

She should thank the other party.

"Who was that?"

A voice sounded from behind.

The brothers had finished their private chat and come out of the room, as they couldn’t leave the guests hanging for long.

Hong Xiaoyu went to entertain Mr. and Mrs. Fang, while someone lacking insight heard Uncle Fang mention Fang Qing taking a call, then saw her gazing out in thought on the balcony, so he walked over.

"Li Shuru."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen’s expression changed slightly, regretting speaking up.

But since he’d come over, he couldn’t just retreat, so he walked up to Qing Gege.

"Returned the money to you?"

"Yes."

Fang Qing’s demeanor was calm, "Xiaoyu was right, there truly are many good girls in this world."

Jiang Chen pretended to be relaxed, chuckling, maybe not realizing his laughter was awkward.

"Too bad not everyone is as lucky as me."

"Do you think you’re lucky?"

Fang Qing gazed outside, not diverting her eyes.

"Of course."

Jiang Chen answered firmly, "I’ve run into so many good girls, how could I not be lucky?"

Fang Qing smiled mildly.

"And you?"

Jiang Chen tilted his head, "What do you think of your luck?"

"Do you want the truth?"

"Definitely."

"If there truly were a next life, I wouldn’t let you feel lucky."

The quickly-thinking Jiang Chen found himself momentarily distracted, unable to comprehend the meaning.

Fang Qing turned and walked towards the living room, passing him by.
