think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Siyi asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The salesgirl watched with a smile beside them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the shoes had been ugly, it would have been a different story, but naturally, such high-end footwear was a masterpiece of design.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any woman of reasonable appearance should be able to bring out their flair, and Xu Siyi’s looks were outstanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Jiang Chen really couldn’t bring himself to say anything insincere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not bad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only force a smile and nod his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think they’re pretty too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Siyi beamed with joy, then inspected herself in the mirror for a while longer before asking the salesgirl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How much are these shoes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Twenty-three thousand eight hundred.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he had been prepared, Jiang Chen’s eyes couldn’t help but twitch when he heard the number the salesgirl reported with a smile, and his mind quickly calculated his current savings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had always been working and saving throughout the years, but he had spent quite a bit while being with Ai Qian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including the six thousand Xu Siyi had given him not long ago, his current savings were around fifteen thousand, which wasn’t a small amount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was still eight or nine thousand short of the price of these shoes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a college student—obviously excluding those wealthy heiresses—a pair of shoes costing tens of thousands was undeniably extravagant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Xu Siyi didn’t even blink when she heard the price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Jiang Chen felt a sense of foreboding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he couldn’t afford to pay, it would be a huge embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excuse me, where is the bathroom?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Xu Siyi could speak, Jiang Chen asked the salesgirl ahead of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go straight and turn right, sir.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The salesgirl directed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen said to Xu Siyi, “I need to use the restroom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm-hmm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Siyi nodded, her attention fully captured by the shoes she was wearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kept changing angles to admire them in the mirror, obviously very pleased with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen headed toward the restroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the bathroom was just a ruse; he needed to figure out a way through this predicament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t out of vanity that he wanted to pretend to be richer than he was; if Li Shuru found out he couldn’t afford a pair of shoes, it could raise suspicions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once inside the restroom, Jiang Chen’s mind raced, thinking that the only person who could help him now was probably Luo Peng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled out his phone and called Luo Peng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s up?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m gaming.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s urgent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen’s tone was frantic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you lend me some money?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll pay you back later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen got straight to the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t a shot in the dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shuru’s fondness for him had already reached 80, and he was just one step away from a successful conquest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could just raise her fondness by another 10 points, then he would complete his first conquest mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering his current expenses as a ‘simp’, this meant he could get a cashback of at least twenty million!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pair of twenty-something thousand-dollar heels was nothing to sweat over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Peng was indeed generous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t even ask why Jiang Chen needed the money and was probably still in his game when he casually asked, “How much do you need?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ten thousand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Peng responded instinctively, then seemed to come to his senses after a while, his tone suddenly rising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How much?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ten thousand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen repeated seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Peng must have stopped gaming as his tone became serious, “Why do you suddenly need so much money?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Manolo Blahnik shoes could easily cost a five-figure sum, ten thousand was still a significant amount for an ordinary college student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s complicated, I can’t explain right now, do you have that much on hand?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t stay in this restroom for too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look at the way you’re talking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Peng chuckled lightly and, without inquiring further, got straight to the point, “Add your WeChat?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll transfer it to you right now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up, it wasn’t long before Jiang Chen received the transfer notification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder so many people love to befriend the wealthy, it’s not without reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for Luo Peng, he would have had no idea where to scrape together the money for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming the receipt, Jiang Chen washed his hands and stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s check out quickly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Siyi was already sitting and waiting for him, still wearing those high heels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the disposable hotel slippers, they were nowhere in sight, presumably thrown away by the salesperson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen didn’t even bother with the courtesy of suggesting a second look, after all, if the girl took a fancy to an even more expensive pair, that would be troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he went to pay without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have a great day, we look forward to seeing you again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, senior!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon leaving the shoe store, Xu Siyi smiled sweetly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know how long I would have to work outside to afford these shoes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Siyi blinked, feigning ignorance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How long?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen said nothing, walking to the roadside to hail a taxi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh come on, it’s just a pair of shoes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s nothing to you but can make someone happy for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve liked this brand for ages but never had the heart to buy them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, my wish is finally fulfilled,” Xu Siyi cooed, her voice meltingly sweet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clever women are like this, once they gain an advantage, they start to act all cute and silly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing to mention?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen replied irritably, “Do you know I borrowed the money from a friend?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shoes that cost over twenty thousand, what do you take me for?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rich second generation?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you being so fierce?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Siyi’s lips curled down, the previous joy vanishing in an instant, and her eyes grew misty with tears about to fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen was helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew this girl was acting, but even knowing that, as a man, it didn’t seem right to continue berating her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A taxi stopped by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen pulled open the door, “To East Sea University.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Siyi silently followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, cut it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m the one at a loss here, yet you make it seem as if I’m bullying you,” Jiang Chen sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are bullying me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is a pair of shoes all that separates me from Shu Rui?” Xu Siyi seemed extremely aggrieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you talking about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen, genuinely puzzled, responded matter-of-factly, “Your own pair of shoes must cost only a few hundred, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I replaced them with a pair worth tens of thousands, and you still say I’m bullying you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that’s bullying, I’d prefer to be bullied every day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Siyi, amused, couldn’t help but laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen, who had known all along that she was acting, shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Money, money, money, that’s all you ever talk about; can’t we be less vulgar?” Xu Siyi mumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen couldn’t help but laugh and cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now talking about money is vulgar, but ironically, it often seems to be the girls who like to talk about it most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, you haven’t lost out, I was seen by you in my entirety,” Xu Siyi went on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen felt his face twitch and immediately clarified, sternly, “That was a misunderstanding, and, for the record, I hardly saw anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That statement was a bit against his conscience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one shouldn’t be too honest; sometimes, lying is still necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Siyi snorted haughtily, neither confirming nor denying, turning her head to look out the window.\u003C\u002Fp>",1303,"2026-05-30T15:07:10.632Z","2026-06-01T04:31:32.694Z",1,"novelbin.me","8d5fe87779e8e97ef7013c9400df8e494a5a442612d751be76bacff0f347408c","i-have-10-trillion-dollars-only-usable-for-simpi-chapter-131","i-have-10-trillion-dollars-only-usable-for-simpi-chapter-129",2400,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-have-10-trillion-dollars-only-usable-for-simpi-cover.jpg"]
