I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping Chapter 2786 - 1731: She Would Never Bomb Anyone Else

"Jiang, freshen up a bit, I’ve ordered breakfast, it’ll be delivered soon."

Li Wanrong turned around and walked away decisively. As she held onto the railing and descended the stairs, she couldn’t help herself anymore — a smile blossomed on her face.

"Sis-in-law, what’s so funny?"

Pei Ning, who was downstairs chatting with his brother, noticed her unusual demeanor.

Not asking would’ve been better. As soon as he asked, Li Wanrong’s emotions became even more tumultuous, and she clutched her stomach, bursting into laughter.

"Possessed?"

Pei Linhan, who had just placed the breakfast order, looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze.

Li Wanrong staggered over.

"You don’t know what your daughter did..."

"Duoduo? What happened?"

Pei Ning was curious and puzzled.

"She—pfft..."

The three of them were utterly befuddled.

"What are you laughing at? Just tell us straight."

Li Wanrong took a deep breath and then, with a still slightly wavering voice, said, "She, she threw a stink bomb into someone’s room."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The three of them exchanged bewildered glances.

Stink bomb — they certainly knew what it was, and understood each word individually, but when put together, they were completely baffled.

"Jiang?"

Pei Linhan understood to some extent.

Li Wanrong nodded with a continual smile.

Pei Linhan’s expression turned peculiar, and then he also broke into a chuckle, "That girl."

"Bro, what are you guys talking about?"

Pei Ning looked puzzled and turned to ask his husband, "Do you understand any of this?"

"Nope."

Pei Linhan glanced at his sister and brother-in-law, clearing his throat, "Yesterday we had a guest at home."

Indeed, explaining was necessary, otherwise meeting them later would be quite awkward.

"Yes, it’s Duoduo’s boss."

Li Wanrong chimed in.

"..."

"..."

Pei Ning and his wife were caught off guard, shocked.

"Upstairs?"

Pei Ning stiffly raised his hand, pointing towards the second floor.

"Mhm—"

Pei Linhan nodded.

Li Wanrong had calmed down and said, "Li’er knows him too. He’s from East University, her senior. Not sure if she’s mentioned him to you."

"Nope!"

Pei Ning replied immediately, "Sis-in-law, you know that girl hardly ever tells us anything voluntarily."

Exactly.

This couple was none other than Luo Li’er’s parents.

"Sis-in-law, did Duoduo’s boss specifically come to visit you?"

Luo Li’er’s father wasn’t very verbose, but he couldn’t help opening his mouth at this moment. His scholarly demeanor allowed him to immediately pinpoint the main point, speaking with deep insight.

Pei Linhan did not respond.

Well.

One shouldn’t be too arrogant.

But Li Wanrong didn’t have so many scruples, "Not exactly, Duoduo prepared a gift for us, and Jiang came to deliver it."

Pei Ning and his wife exchanged a tacit glance, both exhibiting a slightly unusual gaze.

This villa had never before housed an outsider overnight.

"No wonder Sis-in-law was so out of it, turns out she was entertaining a distinguished guest last night."

Pei Ning said deliberately, with a teasing tone.

"Maybe we should leave..."

"Yes, it might be a bit inconvenient."

Pei Ning followed his husband’s lead, pretending to stand up, "Bro, Sis-in-law, we’ll just..."

"Why leave?"

As expected, Pei Linhan gestured with his hand to stay, "There’s nothing inconvenient about it. Li’er and Jiang have a great relationship. It’s the perfect time for you to get acquainted."

Pei Ning had no intention of leaving and quickly planted himself back down without a hint of formality.

"They’re classmates with Li’er, so they must be quite young, right?"

"Li’er really never mentioned them to you?"

"Ah, Sis-in-law, that naughty girl has treated herself like a celebrity ever since she went to East Sea University, expecting her to voluntarily share anything with us is nearly impossible."

What wasn’t intentionally said was understood by the listener.

Pei Linhan and his wife felt a bit embarrassed — the ripple effect — Li’er becoming like this was also partly their parental responsibility.

"Bro, Sis-in-law, how does Duoduo’s boss look? Handsome or not?"

Noticing something off with his brother and sister-in-law, Pei Ning realized he had said the wrong thing, so he switched the topic.

Li Wanrong was about to speak, but someone beat her to it.

"You’re still a bit below your brother’s level back in the day."

Li Wanrong tilted her head and teasingly scolded, "You’re already of a ripe old age, and still not ashamed. What were you doing in your twenties? What have people in their twenties achieved?"

"Just in their twenties? Not even thirty yet?"

Pei Ning was surprised.

"Yes."

"Does that mean younger than Duoduo?"

Luo Binwang, who didn’t talk much, discreetly nudged his wife.

Actually, as soon as the words left his mouth, Pei Ning realized he had slipped up again, and it was too late to take them back.

If someone else said this, it might create a gap, even among relatives, but the relationship between the two families was extraordinary.

"Uh-huh, younger than Duoduo..."

"It’s okay, the saying goes, ’if a woman is three years older, she hugs a golden brick.’" Before Li Wanrong could finish her sentence, Pei Ning quickly tried to salvage the situation. As soon as he spoke, the atmosphere fell silent.

Straightforward.

Indeed, too straightforward.

"You should talk less."

Luo Binwang couldn’t help but comment.

Pei Ning immediately covered her mouth like a little girl, with an apologetic look in her eyes.

"Our daughter is already grown up; how can she still be so rash? Your sister-in-law just said the person was merely here to deliver something." Being the elder brother, Pei Linhan gently coached.

"Pei Ning wasn’t being intentional."

Pei Ning gratefully looked toward her sister-in-law.

"Even if it wasn’t intentional, you shouldn’t talk carelessly. It’s no issue amongst us, but what if the person hears it, what will they think?"

What will they think?

Young Jiang personally expressed last night, deeply smitten with Duoduo.

Of course, these things can’t be casually mentioned before everything is perfectly in place.

"Well, your brother has a point. When the people come down later, try to restrain yourself."

"Sister-in-law, I understand!"

Pei Ning immediately nodded.

The stairs creaked with movement.

Several elders turned their heads.

"Duoduo."

Pei Ning and her husband immediately showed friendly and kind smiles.

"Auntie, Uncle."

Pei Yunxi smiled and greeted, with a classic brown coat casually draped over her shoulders. The fur gleamed softly, like flowing gold sand. Underneath was a simple high-necked black sweater; the fine wool hugged her skin, providing warmth without sacrificing elegance. She paired it simply with black skinny pants, accentuating the curve of her long legs, descending the stairs in furry slippers. Despite being a plain homey style, every frame carried a poster-like quality.

Watching her come downstairs, including Pei Ning and her husband, all four elders simultaneously displayed expressions of pride.

"Where’s Little Jiang?"

Li Wanrong asked.

"I don’t know."

Pei Yunxi showed no sign of emotion, with an impeccable expression; after last night’s stand, the professionalism of a career actor returned.

"Come here."

Li Wanrong beckoned her daughter over, and when she got closer, she said, "Was it you who put the stink bomb in Little Jiang’s room last night?"

The other three elders tried hard to manage their expressions, struggling to hold back.

"What’s a stink bomb?"

Embodying the poise of an actor, Pei Yunxi’s counter-question seemed natural, with no trace of artifice.

"Come on. You played with them when you were little."

No one is born a goddess.

Mature and steady Boss Jiang was once playful and mischievous too.

"I went to wake up Little Jiang just now. As soon as the door opened, that smell... I was overwhelmed. Little Jiang looked pale; probably didn’t sleep all night—aren’t you afraid you’d poison him with the stink?"

Pei Yunxi’s elegant smile twitched slightly, so subtly that it was hard to notice.

"Did a thief break into our house?"

She said, "Last night, I even heard someone shouting about catching bandits."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Pei Ning felt her niece seemed different, but couldn’t quite pinpoint how.

"It’s his first time in Hui City, and you bombarded him with stink bombs. Are you even treating him as your boss?"

Li Wanrong firmly said, "Do you have any more stink bombs? Hand them all over to me."

Someone could make a complaint, but last night, Pei Yunxi, who suffered, would she dare to complain?

The answer was obvious.

"It’s fine; Duoduo wouldn’t bomb anyone else."

Pei Ning kindly tried to mediate.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Didn’t they say to speak less?
