I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping Chapter 2181 - 1394: This Lady Is Rich Enough to Rival Nations! (Part 2)
Previously on I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping...
Naturally, Princess Cao wasn't the type to judge solely by looks. She paused to admire her rival briefly before looking away.
That much was clear.
Princess Cao had no clue this was the protagonist.
After all, the label 'fair, rich, and beautiful woman' had been applied to her.
Fair.
Lucky姐 does possess quite the fair complexion. Plumper women often have smoother, paler skin.
Rich.
Unfamiliar to me.
We'll leave that for later.
Yet 'beautiful'...
Speaking in an impartial and objective manner.
Though beauty lies in the observer's eyes...
Surely, someone who stands out immediately in a gathering doesn't align with current popular beauty standards, does she?
Reason suggests it's fine, yet life frequently contradicts reason.
Quite the opposite.
Such logic holds true mainly in films or books.
Princess Cao erred in her judgment this round, leaving her unprepared when Lucky姐 approached and halted beside her.
'Is there anything you want?'
From politeness, she inquired courteously.
Lucky姐 grinned in reply, 'Pardon me, but this appears to be my spot.'
Shock.
Undeniably.
Hearing that, Princess Cao, accustomed to handling numerous hurdles smoothly, displayed a fleeting look of astonishment.
Unrestrained.
Unbidden.
She gazed in stupefaction, then automatically scanned Lucky姐 again, before glancing at Jiang Chen.
Boss Jiang stared forward, arm on the counter, enjoying his beverage while observing the bartender's expert techniques, apparently unaware of the surrounding events.
I sip solo, getting tipsy~
'Pfft.'
Cao Jinse abruptly chuckled, then clamped her hand over her mouth and swiftly said sorry to the adjacent person after shifting her eyes away.
'Apologies.'
She cleared space and settled next to the group.
Lucky姐, braced for a clash, felt stunned by the effortless settlement, akin to gearing up for battle only for the foe to yield without resistance.
Though taken aback, she wouldn't press her advantage unduly.
After all, this was a nightclub.
Occurrences like this happen often, since nothing marked him as Lucky姐's exclusive property.
No reason to trouble another lady~
The tension dissolved rapidly, allowing Lucky姐 to claim her proper place.
'Decided yet?'
Yet another flirtatious remark, subtly confirming her sharp judgment.
Jiang Chen denied with a head shake, acting as if he ignored Princess Cao, who appeared to drink yet was clearly listening in.
'Thanks for the offer, Lucky姐, but I must decline this position.'
'No need for stress. Simply occupy the role; job duties won't concern you.'
Lucky姐 grew more direct.
A fabricated job serves merely as a charming pretext.
The pretty boy's duty remains simple and timeless: please the sugar mommy.
Lucky姐 believed her proposal generous, yet he shook his head once more.
A tad ambitious, perhaps.
Isn't a monthly twenty thousand sufficient?
'What sum do you seek?'
A woman like Lucky姐 lacks ample time or tolerance for courtship; numerous tycoons share this trait, favoring direct approaches.
Boss Jiang exhibited strong restraint, but nearby Cao Jinse fought to contain herself.
Correct.
She was eavesdropping for sure.
Desiring to laugh yet unable, she battled the urge intensely.
Venturing out for this 'outing' tonight proved a wise choice.
It had been ages since anything so amusing occurred.
'Lucky姐, money isn't the issue.'
With Lucky姐 in between, Cao Jinse couldn't resist leaning her head, impressed by this man's composure.
He kept a poker face.
Lucky姐 dismissed the evasion and cut to the chase, 'Do you find me overweight?'
Cao Jinse strained to hold back her grin, gripping her glass tightly.
'No.'
Jiang Chen answered.
What alternative response was possible?
Any courteous fellow would respond similarly.
'I figured you stood apart from those shallow guys.'
'…'
'…'
Princess Cao began resting her chin on her palm, as raw determination alone failed to curb her nearly overwhelming feelings.
'Our encounter tonight feels destined. State your price.'
Jiang Chen's persistent rejections only fueled Lucky姐's resolve.
Entrepreneurs and business types operate similarly: the unattainable becomes increasingly desirable.
'Money isn't a problem for me.'
Jiang Chen avoided boasting, but circumstances left him no option.
Lucky姐 knitted her brows.
'I get that finances aren't tight for you, but you merit a superior lifestyle, and you're worthy of it.'
Clearly.
She failed to catch Boss Jiang's underlying point.
At last, the enduring Princess Cao surrendered to her impulses, muffling her mouth, lowering her head, striving not to interrupt anyone, though her trembling shoulders weren't exactly subtle.
Due to her spot, Lucky姐, oriented toward Jiang Chen, remained unaware, while he noticed.
He ought to have departed by this point.
'Lucky姐, I'll speak plainly.'
Lucky姐 nodded keen.
Time to reveal everything.
Drop the act.
Cease the charade.
Why squander the night?
Better to pursue other engaging pursuits this lovely evening.
'Truth is, I'm already kept.'
Lucky姐's face stiffened, and she rigidly eyed him.
'My regrets, I cannot accept Lucky姐's kindness.'
'…'
Lucky姐 sensed a blow to the head, her eyes glazing over as she processed the revelation.
Not unexpected.
Though surprising, it
——fits logically.
Had she known of his prior arrangement, Lucky姐 wouldn't have approached. She enjoys resolving matters with cash, yet holds certain principles. Now, however, withdrawing would signify loss and failure.
'What does she pay you?'
Jiang Chen stayed quiet.
'Feel no guilt. It's merely employment. A superior offer means switching gigs, right?'
Lucky姐 added, 'Whatever she provides, I'll double it, double.'
Princess Cao, propped against the bar, nearly choked on her laughter.
What skit rivals this for fun?
'Lucky姐…'
Jiang Chen aimed to dissuade, but her decision stood firm.
'姐 is determined to claim you. Tell me who she is. If it's awkward, Lucky姐 can discuss with her directly.'
With that, Lucky姐, seemingly pocketless, retrieved a phone from an unseen spot.
The case caught the eye.
It bore the phrase 'My wealth rivals nations.'
'Hand over the number.'
Truly a powerhouse, bold and unyielding.
'Unnecessary.'
Before Lucky姐 could scowl, he continued, 'She's sitting right next to you.'
Lucky姐 halted, pivoting her head gradually in the direction he indicated.
The observer Princess Cao hadn't anticipated entanglement. Clutching her stomach, she worked to steady her feelings, and upon raising her head, her tousled locks accentuated her rosy cheeks, then she silently lipped words at Jiang Chen.
You rascal!
Lucky姐 glanced at her, then at Jiang Chen, her thoughts likely racing wildly.
'You're the one supporting him?'
Her eyes fixed on Cao Jinse for verification.
Meanwhile, Boss Jiang returned to his Mojito.
Better to stay low-key.
Observe.
The attention shifted to him.
The blameless onlooker Cao Jinse smoothed a lock of hair; now she could clarify or set the record straight flawlessly,
however.
She refrained.
'Sorry, you've arrived too late.'
With a graceful smile, she unleashed a brilliant layered remark.
Lucky姐 drew a deep breath, even the rise and fall of her full bosom enhanced the sparkle of her sequined mermaid gown.
'Quote your price.'
Goodness.
Rivalry and covetousness abound, particularly in clubs.
But over a man?
Cao Jinse sustained her grin, ignoring any glares.
'Apologies, it's beyond your means.'
Moderately courteous.
Yet sufficiently firm.
'Bang!'
Lucky姐 smacked her phone down on the counter. The bold 'My wealth rivals nations' on the case demanded attention.
'姐's fortune reaches billions; I don't oppress others, but lass, you've ignited my fire. This fellow, you won't retain him—Lucky姐 declares it!'
Even the detached Mr. Jiang lifted a brow.
Pounding the counter before Princess Cao.
Lucky姐.
Bold indeed.
