back soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After ending the call, Luo Peng put down his mobile phone and instructed Bai Zheli to pour a glass of water for the guest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beauty, you’re probably not from our school, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman ignored him, took the disposable cup Bai Zheli handed her, but didn’t drink, placing it on the table instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Peng felt a bit awkward, but as a man in the presence of a beautiful woman, his tolerance was always strong, so he didn’t take offense and tentatively asked, “Do you know Jiang Chen?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did he go out for?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman acted as if she couldn’t hear him talking, and even now, she hadn’t taken off her sunglasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impolite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Really, too impolite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chen Ge went with his girlfriend to check out a storefront…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zheli chimed in with an explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having nothing better to do, today Jiang Chen went with Li Shuru and the others to pick out a location for a dance studio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What girlfriend?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman suddenly turned her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with the sunglasses on, Bai Zheli still astutely sensed that those eyes behind the lenses were staring straight at him, even emitting a hint of murderous intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Peng was also surprised by her intense reaction; the temperature around them seemed to have dropped sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zheli’s voice faltered, inadvertently exchanging glances with Luo Peng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that Jiang Chen has been messing around and now someone has come looking for him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Bai Zheli was naive, Luo Peng was a seasoned player in romance and immediately sensed something was off after seeing the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It might have seemed unlikely in the past, but now that he has inherited the assets from his grand-uncle, Jiang Chen has indeed changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reacted quickly, forcing a chuckle and said, “Ha ha, beauty, don’t mind what he’s saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen just stepped out for a bit and will be right back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Bai Zheli didn’t understand the situation, he wisely shut his mouth and said no more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Peng quickly changed the subject with a forced laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beauty, when did you meet Jiang Chen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We don’t seem to have seen you around, have we?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you his roommates?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, that’s right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Peng nodded, already certain that she must not be a student from Dong University; otherwise, she’d be aware of Jiang Chen and Li Shuru’s relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The secrecy has been maintained well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that quality, one could tell she’s a rich beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen, that guy, is finally catching on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Peng let his imagination run wild inwardly, but he maintained composure on the surface and asked, “What’s your honorable surname, beauty?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again, she ignored him, casually surveying the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This place seems quite suitable for collecting junk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Peng and Bai Zheli looked at each other, their faces twitching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This lady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She might be a sight for sore eyes, but why so arrogant and rude?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What does she mean this place is fit for collecting junk?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Peng felt insulted, but since he couldn’t figure out exactly what relationship she had with his good brother, he refrained from making a scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had known about the lady’s temper and various deeds, he probably wouldn’t have minded this small matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m going to call Jiang Chen again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Peng, clearly a bit out of his depth, left Bai Zheli to handle her and stepped out to use his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you back yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“On the way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry up, she’s too hot to handle; I can’t cope.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did she say what her name is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, she’s treating me like air, Jiang Chen, she’s a real goddess!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen on the other end paused, also finding Luo Peng’s description quite apt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on Luo Peng’s description, the last bit of fantasy in Jiang Chen’s heart completely shattered, and he let out a sigh, speaking in a low voice, “Wait for me twenty minutes, just keep her there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll do my best.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Peng hung up the phone and looked back inside the store; Little Bai sat rigidly in his seat, clearly suppressed by the woman’s presence as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Contrastingly, she looked around with casual curiosity, as if she even might be the secret investor behind the Angel Investment Club.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Peng shook his head and went next door to the supermarket to buy a pack of Qiaqia melon seeds, before returning to the club.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Peng has always considered himself quite charming, but lately, he’s been taking hits to his confidence; not to mention Luo Li’er, who at least showed some emotional response to him, but this lady, maintaining a poker face, treated him almost like air, indifferent to his attempts to lighten the mood, although she didn’t hesitate to eat his seeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Peng was close to plunging into serious self-doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The seeds are good, go buy another pack.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Bai Zheli had a strange expression on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m talking to you, didn’t you hear?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lady’s fine eyebrows slightly raised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I was talking to you earlier, didn’t you do the same thing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Peng slowly took a breath, silently reassuring himself not to take it personally with a woman, and quietly got up and went out again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Check out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two packs for twenty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With two packs of seeds in hand, Luo Peng finally saw Jiang Chen, who had rushed back in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt like he had seen a lifesaver and quickly went to greet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where is she?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Inside!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Peng gestured towards the Angel Investment Club.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen looked over, his expression complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Chen, who exactly is this girl?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Peng couldn’t help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was no stranger to battle, but he had never encountered this type before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if I told you, you wouldn’t recognize her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen’s expression was impassive as he lifted his foot to walk inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Peng hastily grabbed his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As a buddy, let me remind you, it’s very normal for a man to have fun outside, but this girl is not the kind to be trifled with, you had better stay away from her…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just half an hour of contact had managed to prompt such awareness from a playboy like Luo Peng?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen’s lips tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he really need Luo Peng to remind him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You think I don’t know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for you and Little Bai, I wouldn’t have come back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For me and Little Bai?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Peng was puzzled, “What do you mean?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve always wanted to meet the person who split Ruan Guang’s head open, haven’t you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s the one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, Jiang Chen left a stunned Luo Peng behind as he walked into Angel Investment with a stern face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chen Bro…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve been waiting for you for so long!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Jiang Chen enter, Bai Zheli had just started speaking when he witnessed an astonishing scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold and arrogant girl rose to her feet with a charming smile and quickly walked toward Chen Bro, completely transformed into a different person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zheli and Luo Peng, who had followed him in, exchanged bewildered glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their eyes, Jiang Chen was always a gentleman who never lost his temper, even with Ai Qian, he had never uttered a word of complaint…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you being fierce to me again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl’s mouth turned down in a look of grievance, “I’m here to discuss a big deal with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Peng and Bai Zheli were beside themselves with amazement, curious whether the person they saw before and now were the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can’t even afford the gas, what kind of big deal can you discuss with me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even someone with Jiang Chen’s fortitude was nearly driven to his breaking point by this woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Shi finally took off her sunglasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Chen, don’t look down on people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m here today to talk business with you, a deal worth several billion!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She really was quite good-looking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A perfect oval face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her skin was smooth and fair like milk, clearly maintained with a great deal of money and care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her personality was quite unappealing, deserving of a deduction of points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overall, Mister Luo silently gave her a score of 85 in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You guys go back first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen, not wishing to argue further with this madam, sent Luo Peng and Bai Zheli away first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it wasn’t for having Bai Zheli and Luo Peng as “hostages”, he would never have come back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zheli, quick to grasp the situation, promptly left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Peng was inclined to stay and watch the excitement but was pulled away by Bai Zheli.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen closed the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How does your mother discipline you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really didn’t understand what that aunt was doing; they had clearly agreed that he would mind his own business and she would take care of her daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what was the result?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This woman had once again appeared in his school, brazen as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this not a prominent business tycoon with some sense of contractual spirit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe, my mom doesn’t know, she still thinks I’m on a date with Sun Xiyu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Shi was capricious, laughing with innocent mirth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen’s eyes twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He should have gotten that aunt’s phone number back then so he wouldn’t be without a way to complain now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You used the excuse of a date with your fiancé to come find me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Qianxi, don’t you think your behavior is highly inappropriate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s okay, he doesn’t mind,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Shi played with the sunglasses in her hand, “Besides, he’s no longer my fiancé.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you mean?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen’s pupils constricted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve already laid my cards on the table with Sun Xiyu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen had a bad feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Laid out what cards?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you so nervous?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Shi chuckled and then reassured him, “Relax, you’re safe, I didn’t expose you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I know he doesn’t like me and is very resistant to this arranged marriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he doesn’t have the guts to take responsibility for backing out, so I used this as an excuse to extort a sum from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I originally wanted a billion, but he refused to give it, so I only got fifty million…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen’s expression changed uncertainly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe, am I smart?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Shi looked proud of herself, not hiding her smugness in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were someone else, they would surely sympathize with the misfortune of young master Sun being fleece, but Jiang Chen saw it differently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Master Sun had a remarkable level of awareness indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must believe in the creed that if he doesn’t go to hell, then who will!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, things had worked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You paid fifty million to escape misery, freeing yourself, but have you considered the consequences of releasing this demon back into the human world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some unlucky sap might have to become the scapegoat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But human nature is inherently selfish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Save your own skin first,” remains the prevailing universal value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Congratulations, you’ve finally managed to escape the economic sanctions from your family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s great news, why don’t you go celebrate with someone right away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen managed a smile, trying to pull her out, but she anticipated his move, swiftly stepping back to avoid his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I still have important business to discuss!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What could you possibly have to discuss that’s so important?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen looked at her, and while he didn’t speak, his thoughts were plainly written across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I really do have a project worth several billion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Shi repeated for the third time, very earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1958,"2026-05-30T15:07:10.633Z","2026-06-01T04:31:31.827Z",1,"novelbin.me","cbd3e8f48c8645764bd1aeeb763b296f16022d97ea29c23275abbd5c10711929","i-have-10-trillion-dollars-only-usable-for-simpi-chapter-233","i-have-10-trillion-dollars-only-usable-for-simpi-chapter-231",2400,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-have-10-trillion-dollars-only-usable-for-simpi-cover.jpg"]
