I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping Chapter 2785 - 1731: It Won’t Blow Up Anyone Else

"Sister-in-law, what’s wrong? Didn’t sleep well last night?"
The hall where they had chatted late into the night had new guests. The Pei couple were still in the same spot, but Boss Jiang’s position was now occupied by a middle-aged couple, who, although not as fashionable or refined as Li Wanrong, were quite presentable.
"Don’t mention it, you should have come later, I didn’t sleep well."
Pei Linhan interjected with a sarcastic tone.
"Go."
Li Wanrong yawned again, even though she was prettily made-up, she couldn’t hide the exhaustion in her demeanor.
"Went to bed a bit late last night."
She explained to her younger brother and sister-in-law.
"Why don’t you go and sleep a bit more, sister-in-law?"
The delicate, petite woman immediately suggested.
"It’s almost ten, why sleep any more."
Li Wanrong perked up, "Have you had breakfast yet?"
"Had it, had it. You haven’t eaten yet, right? How about I make some noodles?"
"How could I let you do that."
Even though they were relatives, there was no reason to make others hustle around in their own home. Li Wanrong turned naturally to give orders, "Go make something to eat — Duoduo and the others will need to eat when they wake up later."
Though traditionally the man handles outside affairs and the woman inside, they were used to the special circumstances of the Pei family.
Due to the fast pace of speech, the visiting couple completely missed the odd wording in Li Wanrong’s remark — "the others."
"Just order takeout."
People group by similarity; in traditional families, parents might avoid outside food for concerns about it being dirty or unhygienic, but the Pei family fundamentally wasn’t a traditional family.
Pei Linhan took out his phone and opened the food delivery app.
Correct.
Still the Speed’s delivery platform, Speed Seconds.
"Do you want something to eat?"
Pei Linhan asked.
"No."
"Think carefully, at this time, breakfast and lunch will be a single meal, and there won’t be food later."
"You go ahead and eat. I’m dieting anyway."
"You’re dieting?" Li Wanrong sized up the small woman who looked frail, probably not even 1.6 meters tall, "You’re not even 100 pounds, right?"
"98, need to control it, stomach’s starting to bulge."
The woman sat up straight and showed her small abdomen, but there was no fat to be seen.
"King Bin, ignore her, let’s eat."
Pei Linhan addressed the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, exuding scholar-like quality.
"Brother, how are you and sister-in-law planning to celebrate your thirtieth anniversary?"
Pei Ning asked.
"We’re an old married couple..."
Pei Linhan looked at the food delivery on his phone, not lifting his head.
Pei Ning was helpless, her brother always had a loose tongue. No wonder sister-in-law often scolded him — he treated her like a treasure but loved to talk nonsense.
"Don’t even bring it up, we were discussing last night when to divorce." Li Wanrong said indifferently.
Pei Ning and her spouse weren’t shocked at all; they were people living within walls, and though they hadn’t been married for thirty years, they had been together for twenty. They knew most bickering couples wouldn’t actually separate; if they were going to, they would’ve done so long ago.
"Sister-in-law, Duoduo is at home, try to restrain yourselves."
Pei Ning reminded, then added, "How about me and King Bin arrange it for you? It’s rare to have this opportunity, bring all the relatives together to gather."
"What are you talking about, letting you arrange anything."
Li Wanrong declined.
Pei Ning didn’t insist; she knew this was just a gesture. The entire family depended on her brother’s household, so there was no need to take advantage of others.
"We’ll discuss it when Duoduo wakes up."
"I’ll go call her."
Sleeping while the elders are visiting isn’t polite, so Li Wanrong stood up, "You guys sit for a bit."
Upstairs.
Li Wanrong first went to her daughter’s room, raised her hand, and knocked on the door.
"Awake? Your aunt and uncle are here."
Seconds later, the door opened.
Her daughter, although appearing just awakened, looked quite good — young people are different indeed.
"Quickly tidy up and come down. By the way, call Jiang too."
"I’m not calling."
Pei Yunxi refused firmly, just as Li Wanrong was about to speak, the door slammed shut with a "bang."
"This child—"
Li Wanrong shook her head, forced to head to the guest room tidied up just last night, she raised her hand.
"Knock knock knock, knock knock knock... Jiang, are you awake?"
The door opened slower than the other side by a few seconds, and the face she saw was even more... "listless," clearly not well-rested.
"Not used to sleeping here?"
Li Wanrong immediately cared to ask, then suddenly her slender eyebrows furrowed.
Her nostrils twitched.
"What smell...?"
Although the window had been open all night, the effect was limited. Jiang Chen, of course, wouldn’t let her misunderstand that he did anything indescribable, so he could only truthfully say, "Last night someone slipped a stink bomb into my room."
Huh?
Li Wanrong froze, her eyes widened, staring blankly at him.
"Stink bomb?"
Jiang Chen nodded, to prevent her disbelief, he deliberately kept evidence, turned around, and brought out the stink bomb packaging that caused him to barely sleep all night.
"Auntie, it’s this thing."
Li Wanrong was distracted, then subconsciously took two steps back, raising her hand to cover her nose, simultaneously concealing her embarrassment.
There were only four people at home, it was definitely not her and Old Pei, if not a thief breaking in, then the culprit was obvious.
"Who on earth did this? Who’s being so childish?!"
Li Wanrong angrily reprimanded, just like in last night’s movie, a master at playing dumb.
Even knowing that the other feigned ignorance, the victim had no recourse, you couldn’t ask someone to judge their own daughter, could you?
Feelings override the law.
The hand holding the packaging, still emitting a lingering odor, could only slowly lower.
