I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping Chapter 2134 - 1369: Hello

Previously on I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping...
Li Shuru and Jiang Chen arrive at Xu Siyi's lavish new apartment, where they find her already tipsy in a silk nightgown, inviting them to join her for drinks by the city lights. As they settle in, Xu Siyi's mood turns melancholic, her heavy drinking revealing a recent heartbreak from a fleeting romance with a powerful man who saw her as mere entertainment. Jiang Chen probes gently, learning the apartment was a gift from him, while Xu Siyi grapples with her embarrassment and sense of loss, despite owning the property.

Flattery and a fondness for extravagance are undoubtedly negative labels, that's for sure.

However, what if we rephrase it differently?

—What's so bad about chasing after a superior lifestyle?

Xu Siyi has always been upfront about her ambitions, or more precisely, her cravings.

When Boss Jiang was just a broke and miserable college kid with no money to his name, even Li Shuru hesitated to let him pay and gave the cash back. It was Xu Siyi who first spotted Jiang Chen's "prospects" among the group and shifted how she treated him.

Of course.

You might claim she only did it to trick Li Shuru into paying those couple thousand yuan, but no one can deny that while Jiang Chen was widely ridiculed as a kiss-up, she gave him a warm smile.

You could call it fake.

Yet for Jiang Chen back then, this woman brought him a rare sense of courtesy and dignity.

Does sincerity truly count for anything?

"Embarrassing? Can you top how embarrassed I felt?"

Jiang Chen remarked casually, striking right at Xu Siyi's sense of humor. As she recalled those old times, she shook with giggles, swaying side to side while tears nearly flowed.

"Right, even Shu Rui didn't rate you highly back then, Senior..."

Catching her slip-up, she quickly halted and said sorry, "Shu Rui, I didn't intend that."

Li Shuru stayed composed, neither annoyed nor justifying herself, replying steadily and gently: "You just stated the facts."

Another person seemed even more carefree, chuckling loudly without worry: "I was the joke of the whole campus in those days, so picture that—do you seriously need to feel guilty?"

Li Shuru's decision to include him was spot-on. A guy who could soothe like an expert, with straightforward and rough tactics, settled Xu Siyi's feelings.

"...Senior, not everybody possesses a tough mindset like yours."

"Huh, nowadays it's a tough mindset, but in school, it was just thick-skinned, wasn't it?"

Xu Siyi once more burst into uncontrollable laughter, nearly tipping her wine glass as she clutched her stomach with her free hand, apparently in too much pain from the laughs, "My tummy aches."

"Give her a rub."

Jiang Chen directed his girlfriend.

"You handle it."

Li Shuru surprisingly responded, displaying such generosity!

Jiang Chen maintained a serious expression, wagging his head gravely, "That wouldn't be proper."

The playful exchange from the pair only amplified Xu Siyi's reactions. She set her wine glass aside and leaned back on the stylish lounger, massaging her stomach, "I can't take it."

Her deep red evening dress, though alluring and provocative, luckily wasn't overly brief, so as she reclined, it merely hiked up to her legs without revealing more.

Moreover, Boss Jiang acted like a refined gem of a man. Even during that private beach outing with Xu Siyi when her outfit soaked through and they headed to the hotel to switch clothes, he never peeked, much less now with Li Shuru nearby.

He sipped his drink silently, eyes fixed ahead.

"Shu Rui, it's okay for us, but avoid this kind of thing otherwise. Guys aren't trustworthy."

Clearly buzzed from the booze, or else she'd never warn a close friend openly in front of Boss Jiang.

"Even after getting wounded, you shouldn't lump them all together. Whether good or bad depends on the person, not the sex."

If it were another fellow, witnessing her so uneasy and upset, he might've allowed her to unload, but Jiang Chen chose otherwise.

"So, you're saying it's my fault, Senior?"

Jiang Chen shook his head, "No, what I'm saying is the following one will improve."

Xu Siyi, whose spirits had lightened, grabbed her belly again, "Oh gosh, Senior, you should quit speaking."

In the end, it boils down to not enough time spent together.

Not used to Boss Jiang's witty style.

See Li Shuru, so poised and steady.

"What's your next move?"

She inquired of her old dorm mate.

Out of the four girls in that room, Xu Siyi actually resembled her the most, though Xu Siyi carried a sharper edge.

For instance, their initial views on Jiang Chen differed sharply.

"Hoo..."

Curled up on the lounger, Xu Siyi let out a breath, "Can I even choose? The decision was never up to me."

"And him? What reason did he offer?"

"Reason?"

Xu Siyi chuckled, "None at all."

"Is he good-looking?"

Jiang Chen joined in, lightening the mood.

Xu Siyi glanced his way, "Not nearly as much as you, Senior."

"Be straightforward, no buttering me up."

"It's the honest truth, and for a guy in his thirties, 'handsome' isn't the fitting term anymore."

"In his thirties?"

Jiang Chen showed astonishment.

He naturally figured it was some youthful heir to wealth.

If so, wouldn't that make him at least ten years older than Xu Siyi?

"Yes, he's turned into a middle-aged guy."

After a quick shock, Jiang Chen composed himself, "How'd your preferences shift like that?"

Xu Siyi grinned, "Didn't you realize, Senior? My tastes span broadly, covering every age group."

This really proved she aimed to conceal nothing.

She was baring her soul too.

Jiang Chen nodded, "Older guys carry their unique appeal."

Xu Siyi rejected his take on her motives, responding frankly and evenly, "What draws me to him is straightforward. He can assist me. Because of him, I profited in stocks and afforded this place."

"Didn't you mention he purchased this home for you?"

"Does it matter?"

Xu Siyi stated, "Without his tips on insider info, how could a person like me earn big in the market? It's no different from him handing it over directly."

There is a distinction, sure.

But put that way, she's got a point.

A woman from a top school, even if money-driven, stands apart from typical spoiled types.
