I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping Chapter 2136 - 1370: Watch Out for the Cameras (First Update)

"Who is Nana?"

Finally, like everyone else, Li Shuru posed the question as she drove away from the Lincoln Park neighborhood.

That's the essence of thoughtfulness.

Though puzzled, she stayed quiet in Xu Siyi's presence.

"You haven't seen Shin-chan?"

Jiang Chen reclined in the passenger seat, showing no signs of remorse.

"What's Shin-chan got to do with anything?"

Li Shuru remained baffled.

"Shinnosuke Nohara's favorite pretty sister goes by the name Nana."

Jiang Chen elaborated further, stirring up his girlfriend's old childhood recollections.

Sure enough, Li Shuru quieted down, as if it clicked for her. Yet, why would Xu Siyi mention a cartoon figure right as they departed?

"How does Nana connect to you two?"

Away from prying eyes in their intimate space, Li Shuru let her inquisitiveness run free without holding back.

Jiang Chen proved utterly frank. Gazing at the smooth flow of cars in front, he exhaled a faint whiff of booze and stated plainly, "Before we graduated back then, Xu Siyi and I headed to the seaside for a barbecue. During our talk, we brought up Shin-chan, and she teasingly wondered who my Nana might be."

Oh, now it makes sense.

"Only you two?"

"Yes."

"Why haven't you brought this up until now?"

Jiang Chen feigned astonishment, swiveling his head and mimicking her spot-on, "She never mentioned it to you?"

"You think she'd share that with me?"

Li Shuru countered, keeping her composure steady behind the wheel. "Those Manolo Blahnik heels she owns—you gifted them to her, didn't you?"

It resurfaced.

All the recollections flooded back.

Now we're getting somewhere.

Li Shuru always caught the finer points, her recall nearly as sharp as anyone else's.

"What?"

Jiang Chen appeared somewhat hazy on the specifics.

"So, plenty of untold tales exist between you and her."

Li Shuru paused, opting for "untold," a clever pick indeed.

"In those days, since you brushed me off, I had to take a indirect path to reach my aims."

Mr. Jiang displayed his impressive way with words once more, and his statement rang true to the facts.

If he truly harbored shady intentions toward Xu Siyi... would she be drowning her woes in drinks this evening?

Naturally.

Truth stands as truth.

One must never claim Xu Siyi's present mess stems from his actions.

Countless women yearn to rise in status, yet like the college entrance test, every route to alter fate carries dangers. Sure, some strike it rich, but far more end up as casualties.

And Xu Siyi.

Truth be told, viewed impartially, she doesn't rank as fortunate, nor terribly unfortunate.

"What other tales do you share? Tell me."

Earlier at Xu Siyi's home, she held her tongue, but now the chat flowed easily.

"That's all there is."

Jiang Chen replied promptly, "Only that single occasion; the rest you know already."

Though he and Xu Siyi kept things pure, and she leads her own existence nowadays, no point in dredging up minor bits like swapping outfits in a hotel.

"Truly nothing else? Think harder."

If guilt weighed on him, she might actually rattle him, but no reason to haul up bygone events; regarding Xu Siyi, Boss Jiang could boldly affirm his clear conscience.

"She's your roommate's close friend—do you really suspect any ties between us? She's taken a hard hit already. If she learned you viewed her that way, she could sink into real despair."

A masterful shift from defense to offense.

"You fret over her despair but not mine?"

Jiang Chen couldn't suppress a chuckle. He lifted his hand, ignoring her driving, and let An Lushan's paw stretch over the console to settle on that supple thigh.

Nope.

He hadn't imbibed that heavily.

"Out of your dorm's four, your heart's the largest. How could you possibly despair?"

Rather than leave it alone, he started caressing it.

Youthful vigor at its finest.

Despite his morning visit to the andrology clinic.

Li Shuru's lips curved faintly, acting as if she ignored the wandering hand upon her thigh.

"Without a big heart, could I handle it?"

A true clash of minds and skills.

Jiang Chen stayed silent, gently massaging the lovely leg, savoring the superb sensation.

A stunning lady at the wheel, plus leg-stroking—pure bliss in this existence.

"Men who succeed are rarely straightforward. Given Xu Siyi's attributes, she'll snag a solid 'prospect' down the line and step into a rich housewife role, albeit delayed."

"Why not share that with her sooner?"

"She's your pal, not mine."

"Weren't you two just chatting away merrily, spilling secrets freely, toasting joyfully? I even sensed I was intruding on your vibe."

Jiang Chen held his grin steady, "President Li, I complimented you moments ago, and now you're getting jealous. Didn't you bring me over to comfort her? I fulfilled your mission to the letter, right? She's likely okay now—happy with the outcome?"

Li Shuru offered no clear reaction, even with a foreign presence on her leg; it didn't hinder her shifting lanes or passing others.

"She feels shame; what about you?"

Li Shuru inquired.

There it is.

The true issue lurked here.

Jiang Chen knew it wouldn't resolve swiftly, so his thoughts whirled, yet no flawless reply emerged at once.

This posed a major dilemma.

Tougher than the Martial Saint's physics assignments.

No right option existed.

"Si Yi's not around, can't overhear—just speak your mind."

"..."

So warm, truly caring.

In a speeding vehicle, fleeing wasn't feasible, so Jiang Chen acted relaxed and tossed out, "Not quite shame."

"Playing the other woman isn't humiliating?"

"Didn't she mention that guy tricked her? She's an unwilling other woman; it's not on her."

Brilliant.

Even amid this intense spot, he devised a path to ease the tension.

Maybe struck by his sharp intellect, Li Shuru shot him a look, her face inscrutable, bearing a subtle grin.

"You take her words at face value."

"Why not trust her? She's your roommate's buddy and my underclassman too."

Heartwarming.

Utterly heartwarming.

Right then, it would've been ideal if that hand weren't roaming.

With no plans to halt, Li Shuru geared up for more probing, but Jiang Chen, whose mental reserves seemed drained, refused to hand her an easy knockout.

As he prepared to reply, Li Shuru abruptly tightened her crimson lips, easing harder on the gas pedal.

Good thing the road lay clear ahead, maintaining a secure gap from trailing vehicles.

"Where's that hand wandering?"

Off the clock, thankfully in wide-leg pants instead of a skirt.

Jiang Chen stared ahead, keeping his face composed.

"Keep your eyes on the road, mind the cameras."
