I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping Chapter 2693 - 1673: What the Hell Is a Surprise!

Drinking on an empty stomach can easily cause problems.

Sure enough.

Jiang Chen felt completely off, desperately wanted Jing Jing, and even more so, wanted to go home.

Yet.

He also wanted to convince himself that he was hearing things or had misheard, but after all, he was still far from being drunk on yellow wine; his lucid reason continuously told him to abandon any fantasies.

Yes.

Prepare to confront.

Lan Peizhi.

That name itself is quite unique; no idea if anyone else in the nation shares it.

Plus, adding on his connection with the Shi Family.

Jiang Chen’s eyelids twitched; his gaze bore into Shi Qianxi with bloodshot eyes, though secretly, so Meng Meiling wouldn’t notice.

This woman definitely knew all along!

I could die!

This joke has been taken too far!

"Mom, you say Dad is something else, why did he have to invite her over?"

Shi Qianxi sighed, appearing to complain but actually distancing herself from the situation.

But Jiang Chen couldn’t care less about such explanations; his fervor instantly vanished, wishing nothing more than to drown himself in liquor.

No.

Being drunk wouldn’t solve the problem.

It would only completely strip him of any ability to safeguard himself.

"Aunt Meng, I’m going for a walk outside."

Jiang Chen felt he needed a change of environment.

"I’ll go with you."

Shi Qianxi followed closely, obviously worried he might sneak away.

The two of them stepped outside.

The sudden change in temperature made the cold sweat on his back sting even more.

"It really has nothing to do with me; it was my dad’s arrangement. If you don’t believe me, ask them later."

Shi Qianxi continued explaining.

"Why didn’t you tell me earlier?"

Jiang Chen bluntly exposed her poor lie, the dark aura surrounding him caused the distant white bear, Xiao Qi, to lower its bark, ceasing its attempts to charge this way.

Don’t misunderstand.

This dark aura means bad luck.

Dogs are spiritual animals.

When people are unlucky, dogs don’t want to get close.

"I just forgot."

Shi Qianxi replied with a calm demeanor, quickly turning passive into active, "What are you so afraid of? Haven’t you had a meal with her?"

Then.

She lowered her voice, disregarding the fact that they were still at her home, surrounded by servants, leaning closer to Jiang Chen, "Or are you afraid that lady in Kyoto will find out?"

"Lan Peizhi shouldn’t be one to gossip, right?"

She is clearly thinking of Princess Cao far away in Kyoto?

Honestly.

Jiang Chen hadn’t even had time to consider this angle!

"She’s already targeted Jinhai last time, definitely considering me as one of your people by now, so even if she finds out... it doesn’t matter, right?"

Ha.

The thoughts are truly thorough!

Indeed.

No need to excessively worry about Princess Cao.

Even if she knows, she is far away in Kyoto, out of reach.

But what she doesn’t realize is, there is an entangled mess between him and Lan Peizhi too, right?

Talk about surprises.

This.

Is the surprise!

Naturally, seeking responsibility now is pointless; time is tight, Jiang Chen took a deep breath, refraining from further useless arguments, and glanced at the mansion gates wide open for guests.

How did he not notice this detail earlier!

"If I leave now, what will your parents think?"

At the words, Shi Qianxi reflexively grabbed his jacket, "No way!"

"If you leave now, my parents will definitely hold a grudge, then we’re done for!"

It’s settled.

Two joys!

"My mom has already relented, and you won’t run off over such a minor issue, will you?"

Keeping it hidden, Shi Qianxi just wanted some mischief, a tease, but his reaction was beyond her expectation.

"You don’t understand."

Jiang Chen couldn’t and wouldn’t explain, urgency was tangible, fate’s drum seemed to be sounding in the distance.

"Your parents might be upset, but we can find ways to mend it later. But if I’m missing limbs, there’s no way to reinstate them."

"Is it that serious?"

Finally, it was Shi Qianxi’s turn to feel puzzled, "Do you really need to fear her?"

Yes.

Based on wealth, status, connections, someone has no reason to fear that Blood Guanyin.

But the key issue is, those terms apply only when not involving romantic entanglements.

"I need to use the restroom."

Jiang Chen stopped wasting words.

"Inside."

Shi Qianxi pointed indoors, one hand still clutching his jacket, holding firmly.

"Isn’t there one outside?"

In such a large estate, shouldn’t there be.

"No. Are you going or not?"

"I’ll go get something from the car."

"What are you getting? I’ll have them fetch it for you."

"No need."

"Then I’ll go with you."

With that, Shi Qianxi turned, waved a hand, "Xiao Qi."

Though reluctant to approach the dark aura, the owner’s command for a dog is supreme.

The bodyguard led the white bear back.

Shi Qianxi took the leash.

It’s actually unnecessary.

Such a large dog, if something happened, she wouldn’t be able to hold it back.

"Why bring the dog?"

Jiang Chen asked.

"No reason, taking it for a walk."

Shi Qianxi held onto—no, grasped him with one hand, and held the dog with the other, "Let’s go."

Jiang Chen glanced at the imposing white bear and silently walked towards the gate.

"Xiao Qi, if someone steals something later and tries to run, don’t hold back, break their leg for me."

Seemingly able to understand human words, after Shi Qianxi’s command, the full-grown white bear let out a dominant "woof," seemingly in response.

Shi Qianxi nodded with satisfaction, finally releasing her grip, no longer grabbing someone, "Good boy."

So here’s the dilemma.

A choice was placed before Boss Jiang.

Run.

Or stay?

Stay.

And wait to die.

But if he runs?

His relationship with the Shi Family would inevitably plummet, gratitude can’t compete with hatred; it’s one thing to let their daughter settle for a married man, but escaping in crisis, no parents could accept such an insult.

Backpedaling a bit.

Not considering the Shi family’s reaction for now.

What he first needed to weigh was.

Can he outrun the white bear?

It’s four-wheel drive; he’s two, if caught, those sharp teeth might not be much gentler than Blood Guanyin’s gentle palm.

Amidst this back-and-forth of torment and conflict, the two of them and the dog reached the estate’s gate.

Jiang Chen’s right foot stepped out; for reasons unknown, the ground outside felt scalding, prompting his foot to swiftly retract back, inexplicably moving in again.

"Weren’t you going to get something?"

Shi Qianxi wondered.

"I’ll go to the restroom first."

Shi Qianxi was taken aback, then heard Xiao Qi barking.

"Woof, woof, woof..."

She instinctively turned, looking outside, with that someone no longer obstructing her view, she saw a car driving down the shaded path towards them.

Shi Qianxi realized, once more turning to look within the estate.

Only to see that someone already fifty meters away.

The speed.

Is truly not much slower than the dog’s.
