ordered?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shuru asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seems like it was over thirty thousand, what’s up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen replied nonchalantly, as if talking about three yuan instead of thirty thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, it’s really not painful when it’s not your own money being spent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shuru fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her current wealth, she could afford champagne that cost over thirty thousand, but it wasn’t necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t you think it’s a bit wasteful to drink such expensive champagne?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without trying to pretend to be generous, Li Shuru still raised the point,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just think that, for our first date, we should drink something nice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen seemed to belatedly realize the impropriety of his action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He naturally wasn’t a connoisseur of wine, and Li Shuru might be a bit more knowledgeable than him, but probably not by much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, for most people, drinking a champagne worth tens of thousands and one costing a few hundred makes almost no difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Should I call the waiter over and return the bottle?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shuru shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she felt it was a waste, she was the one who invited him, and had said he could order whatever he wanted, so it wouldn’t be good to go back on her word now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, compared to the favor Jiang Chen had done for her, a few tens of thousands for a bottle of champagne was nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Jiang Chen intentionally ripped her off, she was willing to accept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And besides, being in such a high-end place as Bertus, ordering and then returning would be embarrassing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I drove here, so I can’t drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ll have to finish it by yourself later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shuru said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen was astonished, “How can I finish it on my own?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you can’t finish it, take it with you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since you ordered it, you should handle it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an expensive bottle of champagne can’t go to waste,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shuru said, looking at him with a threatening glimmer in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of “threat” was obviously quite different from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen was unfazed, meeting her gaze squarely with a meaningful tone, “Shu Rui, I didn’t expect you to be so thrifty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re not spending your money, so of course, you don’t feel the pinch,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shuru said bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the proper way to communicate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old Li Shuru was like a perennial slab of glacial ice, cold and impenetrable, allowing no point of attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, she was more like a flesh-and-blood human being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They say that the first step in pursuing a girl is the most crucial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once you take that first step, you’ve succeeded by more than half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the most exalted goddesses are no different from ordinary girls once you bring them down from their pedestal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I said I would treat you, did you think I was joking?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen said earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shuru didn’t respond, clearly not taking his words to heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the affluent would consider a thirty thousand yuan bottle of champagne extravagant, let alone a young man working odd jobs and studying frugally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shu Rui, what a coincidence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few young men passed by, one of them glanced at Li Shuru inadvertently, then stopped in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a demeanor somewhat similar to Liang Zhenlun, but he was more pleasing to the eye,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And who is this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his gaze to Jiang Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, Jiang Chen, Shu Rui’s senior,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen politely stood up, showing neither humility nor arrogance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man sized him up and then nodded with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, I’m Xiang Xingren, a friend of Shu Rui’s,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exchanging greetings, Xiang Xingren did not linger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved away with his friends and sat down at a nearby table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They kept glancing over, laughing and discussing something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One of your admirers?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Settling back into his seat, Jiang Chen asked with poised composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, just someone I met at the bar,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Li Shuru’s expression, one could tell that she didn’t have a particularly close relationship with that Xiang Xingren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re definitely discussing the nature of our relationship right now, believe me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, not needing to look back to know they were being watched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What relationship is that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shuru said indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This girl was truly different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some girls, especially the playful ones, would go out of their way to pretend they were single even if they had boyfriends, but she was different; she seemed to not care at all about being misunderstood or about the opinions of others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m just worried about affecting your reputation outside,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the corners of Li Shuru’s mouth ticked up in a semi-smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t this exactly what you wanted to see?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen was all righteousness as he immediately said, “Shu Rui, you’re thinking too narrowly of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I do want to pursue you, but I would never resort to such despicable tactics.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shuru was noncommittal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bertus, it appears to still be from ’07.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy, doesn’t show his true face.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the wine at Li Shuru’s table, one of Xiang Xingren’s friends was quite surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed only then that Xiang Xingren thought it natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a girl like Li Shuru to actually date an ordinary student would be the real surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quite obviously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would never guess who was treating this meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bertus, a toast to you both for your fine taste,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not all rich young masters are arrogant and conceited; at least Xiang Xingren was quite humble and easygoing, taking the initiative to come over and offer a toast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This guy’s not bad, he’s got class; that’s a man from a prominent family for you,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you feeling utterly inferior?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shuru didn’t even lift her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen chuckled and said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s hardly the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he’s certainly charming, I’m not bad myself,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cutlery in Li Shuru’s hands paused for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you ever dined alone with him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen asked casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shuru remained silent, the cutlery once again moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There you have it, you’ve never dined alone with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On that point alone, don’t I have the upper hand?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen rambled on, full of confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shuru didn’t contradict him, simply focusing on her meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Such good wine, aren’t you going to have some?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enjoy it yourself,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen didn’t press, sipping his drink while muttering, “Such expensive wine, yet not as tasty as a simple beverage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shuru’s expression didn’t change, as if she hadn’t heard a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Women tend not to eat much, and Li Shuru was the first to put down her utensils, elegantly wiping the corners of her mouth with a napkin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she picked up her bag, took out her wallet, and pulled out a credit card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen asked, puzzled by the credit card pushed in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When you settle the bill later, use this card,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen smiled wryly, instantly understanding her thoughtful intention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a doubt, this was Li Shuru considering his dignity, going out of her way to give him the card and let him pay the bill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s no need for that; I’ll take care of it myself,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen was somewhat touched, but he had no intention of accepting Li Shuru’s kindness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this meal wouldn’t cost “much,” even a mosquito’s leg is still flesh—he had to find a way to increase his “investment,” or else where would the substantial returns come from later?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Li Shuru’s phone rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took it out and glanced at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need to take this call,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shuru stood up and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen looked at the credit card still lying on the table, picking it up.\u003C\u002Fp>",1317,"2026-05-30T15:07:10.355Z","2026-06-01T04:31:32.694Z",1,"novelbin.me","91c2bd8dd69a28d45a0335bd1b8233a53744e195451e14a6e91baa7294a3ea6e","i-have-10-trillion-dollars-only-usable-for-simpi-chapter-60","i-have-10-trillion-dollars-only-usable-for-simpi-chapter-58",2400,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-have-10-trillion-dollars-only-usable-for-simpi-cover.jpg"]
