I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping Chapter 2845 - 1765: Connections

"Have you really not met her yet?"

At the airport gate.

Duan Xueying asked her boyfriend, not surprised, as if making small talk.

They arrived early.

There’s still half an hour until the flight lands.

But when picking someone up, you definitely have to arrive early; you can’t let someone wait for you.

Besides, the person’s identity is particularly special.

"Seen in a video, but face-to-face, not yet."

Hong Xiaoyu answered truthfully while unconsciously tidying up his outfit, such as his collar and cuffs.

Wind back the clock about twenty minutes ago.

The two were still on the way.

When he heard his girlfriend say "your sister-in-law," Hong Xiaoyu was first bewildered, and then instinctively thought of...

Exactly.

It’s Sister Fang Qing’s face.

Instinct is instinct, rationality quickly reminded him that it was unrealistic.

Though for a long time he had naturally regarded Sister Fang Qing as cousin’s other half, the "child bride" left for cousin by uncle and aunt, perfect match.

Not just him, probably everyone in his social circle thought so.

But the course of fate always surprises. Even if it seems like only a tiny distance apart, it creates an unbridgeable gap, separating "should be the case" from reality, unable to unite.

He even thought of the "Sister Qianqian" he had met.

Finally.

He realized that cousin had a girlfriend when he was in college, and that Chinese New Year, he even greeted her in a video.

That time.

Was his only interaction with her.

"You seem quite nervous."

Duan Xueying noticed her boyfriend’s small actions.

Hong Xiaoyu silently adjusted his breathing, not pretending, he lightly exhaled,

"A bit."

"Relax."

Duan Xueying comforted him, "We’re family, don’t be so distant."

Hong Xiaoyu smiled wryly, family indeed, but to be precise, today is his first face-to-face meeting with her, how could he not be nervous?

After all.

Cousin’s achievements and status, stepping into society, entering Jinhai, he has glimpsed.

And his "sister-in-law" is not just a pretty face beside cousin.

"Is my brother coming?"

Hong Xiaoyu instinctively asked.

Duan Xueying smiled, "Are you asking me?"

Hong Xiaoyu immediately realized his misstep.

Indeed.

He’s his brother, why would he ask someone else.

"He probably didn’t come."

Duan Xueying replied anyway.

"How did you know sister-in-law was coming to River City today?"

Hong Xiaoyu spared the energy to ask at that moment, a question he’d been aware of for a while, but too scatterbrained to ask.

"Do you know her?"

Duan Xueying shook her head.

"I don’t."

"Then..."

"It was Sister Qianqian who told me."

Hong Xiaoyu suddenly understood, with mixed feelings inside.

Sister Qianqian, he had met.

She could even be said to be his matchmaker.

Also.

She is the group’s top leader, Sect Leader!

Forget about some Purchasing Department deputy manager, even President Fu related by blood might not have his name heard by Sister Qianqian.

Most importantly.

Sister Qianqian and cousin say they’re friends, but the actual relationship, he has seen.

"Sister-in-law" has such a harmonious relationship with Sister Qianqian...

Cousin,

A hero indeed—

Hong Xiaoyu’s mind surged like a raging river.

"What’s on your mind?"

Duan Xueying lightly jabbed him with her arm.

"Nothing."

Hong Xiaoyu quickly shook his head.

"You know, you really can’t lie."

Hong Xiaoyu felt awkward, not wanting to hide from his girlfriend, but there are things hard to articulate.

"Fine. Tell me when you’re ready."

Even though he knew his girlfriend wasn’t being sarcastic, Hong Xiaoyu still felt a bit guilty, so he glanced around and whispered, "...What’s Sister Qianqian’s relationship with my brother now?"

"Probably partners."

Duan Xueying spoke naturally and lightly, without any nervousness.

"..."

Hong Xiaoyu stayed silent.

"Heh."

Duan Xueying suddenly suppressed a smile before leaning in, whispering, "We better not get involved in such matters, when big shots clash, the best choice for small fry like us is to hide; otherwise, just a ripple could knock us out."

Hong Xiaoyu was amused, then earnestly nodded.

He understood.

His girlfriend wasn’t entirely joking.

His cousin never talked to him about these matters, nor could he, but his girlfriend probably knew a bit of the inside story.

"Yeah. Anyway, treat everyone equally!"

"Student Hong Xiaoyu, that’s quite enlightened of you."

Duan Xueying smiled warmly.

"Indeed. They’re all high gods, I can’t afford to offend any."

"Think like that, you can’t go wrong. We’ll just take care of our own duties."

Hong Xiaoyu looked at his girlfriend, "Don’t worry, Teacher Duan."

Duan Xueying gave a knowing look, nodding appreciatively, "Student Hong Xiaoyu, you’re ready to graduate."

She wasn’t a nagging person.

The reason for talking so much today was genuine concern that her boyfriend might "take it too seriously."

Working in the audit department means an eye intolerant of flaws, but many things aren’t worth being "meticulous" over.

Pretending to be confused might not be wisdom, but surely a social strategy.

Sometimes, even pretending to be confused is crucial.

As the couple chatter, envied by those around, Hong Xiaoyu felt a pat on his shoulder from behind.

"Hey."

He turned around and was stunned, the preparation had been entirely useless.

"Sister Shurui?"

Also turning around, Duan Xueying showed surprise.

"Hi there."
