I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping Chapter 2132 - 1368: Upperclassmen and Underclassmen

A true man shouldn't constantly expect the woman to make the first move.

Moreover, both Shi Qianxi and Li Shuru had practically revealed their intentions to him already.

If a person advances ninety-nine steps in your direction while you refuse to budge even one, you're nothing short of spineless.

Thus, after dropping that bombshell remark, Jiang Chen kept his cool. Without a doubt, should his short Six-character True Words come to light, he'd face backlash from women everywhere and end up as a pincushion for voodoo dolls.

Li Shuru remained upright in her seat, her gaze icy and fixed, as if aiming to apply some mental strain on him, yet she wasn't the same woman from before, and neither was he the fellow he once was.

"Have you drunk too much?"

Li Shuru uttered.

The other party missed the subtle hint, acting as dense as a stone, and even reached for the beverage next to him.

"I'm having coffee."

Li Shuru let out an involuntary chuckle, like frost melting away, suddenly bringing a warm, spring-like vibe to the space.

"I don't buy it."

"Buy what?"

"I don't think Sister Qianqian would utter something like that."

Li Shuru remarked casually, displaying complete trust in her connection with Sister Qianqian.

The individual appeared intent on stirring trouble and proceeded steadily: "Raised in a merchant household, Shi Qianxi has been shaped by it, leading her mindset to favor gains above all. She wouldn't show kindness without a motive."

Li Shuru offered no denial and simply agreed: "You're right."

The man felt pleased as he lowered his head to sip his coffee, only to catch her next words shortly after: "Still, I doubt she'd express it that way at this point."

Jiang Chen raised his eyes.

"Even if things escalate, it wouldn't depend on her, would it?"

Li Shuru held her refined composure.

Jiang Chen found himself at a loss for words right away, clamping his mouth shut.

His clever tactic had backfired entirely, and her comeback had him thoroughly outmatched.

"Eat up, you've gotten thinner."

Li Shuru went back to slicing her meal, just a simple note of concern, but it sparked doubts in someone's mind.

What did that slimming down imply?

Did Shi Qianxi truly mention it?

Hardly probable.

Regardless of how bold that woman might be, she'd retain some basic sense of propriety, wouldn't she?

"I'll handle the check, please."

Ultimately, Li Shuru covered the bill, though for partners, such minor points hardly count.

"I'll take the wheel."

Li Shuru truly seemed convinced he was intoxicated and claimed the driver's position.

"Why so quiet?"

Li Shuru inquired with a soft grin as she drove.

But with what could he respond, trapped in the passenger spot, clearly out of options.

She had schemed meticulously over an extended period, whereas he was thrust into the mess abruptly, scrambling for a hasty solution.

How could he stand a chance against that?

"Where are we heading?"

Unexpectedly, Li Shuru skipped the route back to Spring and Autumn Plaza, steering into an upscale neighborhood as darkness settled.

"Lincoln Park."

Jiang Chen wasn't inquiring about the area's title.

"We're visiting Xu Siyi."

Li Shuru added.

In the basement garage, high-end vehicles gleamed impressively, with an array of exotic sports cars from publications parked neatly, making it more vibrant than typical auto exhibitions.

Though not a gated villa district, this spot boasted three lifts per apartment.

"Does Xu Siyi reside here?"

It may lack the fame of Spring and Autumn Plaza, but property values in this location were undoubtedly steep.

"Yes."

"Did she purchase it or lease?"

"Purchased."

Jiang Chen felt astonished; a place of this caliber would demand at least eight digits in cost, and the upkeep fees alone could match a regular person's yearly earnings. Xu Siyi possessed such substantial wealth?

"Is the dance studio thriving that much?"

Xu Siyi had only finished school two years back; realistically, forget managing a studio, even a lottery win wouldn't secure a multi-million home outright, merely a deposit perhaps.

Yet considering Xu Siyi's sharp wits, she wouldn't dive into heavy borrowing.

Of course.

Forget Li Shuru for now.

Li Shuru's circumstances were unique, deserving its own analysis.

"The studio is largely handled by Jin Jin these days."

As they stepped into the lift, Li Shuru explained.

That's correct.

The dance venture started with four dorm mates pooling efforts, backed by initial funding from senior Mr. Jiang. Even if Li Shuru ignored her shares, the earnings would split among the remaining three at minimum.

Running a dance spot isn't like operating a money machine; two years simply couldn't fund such opulent living.

"And Guo Ran?"

Jiang Chen had to inquire.

"Guo Ran's in a relationship, her nature fits the devoted homemaker role. She spends most time with Qu Jing nowadays; they're inseparable like a pair of doves."

Qu Jing's early venture flopped, forcing Guo Ran to take on steep loans to settle his debts. Afterward, Boss Jiang got wind and lent aid by slotting Qu Jing into Great Wall Special Delivery, where he proved his gratitude through deeds, advancing steadily and facing routine relocations.

Everyone was carving out their individual paths now.

Jiang Chen then posed: "What of Xu Siyi? She'd excel in entrepreneurship."

"You'll find out shortly."

Li Shuru held back details.

Jiang Chen dropped the subject.

Evidently, the dance studio was now solely under carefree Zheng Jingjing's watch.

Somewhat akin to an "abandoned kid."

Jiang Chen thought it funny. That underclassman had left a strong mark on him. To his eyes, she seemed unsuited for grave enterprises, but surprisingly, she was thriving.

"So Xu Siyi must have launched a fresh venture."

The studio alone couldn't yield that level of revenue; another avenue had to be at play.
