than a person with an outstanding appearance—a belief shared by many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, he hadn’t expected that beneath that beautiful exterior wrapped a soul even more remarkable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Li Shuru entered the bathroom, Jiang Chen picked up his smartphone and dialed Wei Chuyin’s number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the call went through, he heard a sobbing tone on the other end and the first words spoken were, “Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t tell if the thanks were directed at him or at Li Shuru.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Was she the last person you contacted?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen cut straight to the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Um, she said she wanted to wander around, so I accompanied her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she mentioned she wanted to go to Sha City and insisted on going alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I returned to East Sea to wait for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She promised me that once she was done with Sha City, she’d return to the hospital for treatment, but…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Chuyin’s tears became more intense, making it difficult for her to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Chen, please, you must find her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When was her illness discovered?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen’s voice remained calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was found before you and Hamolei were about to sue each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I urged her to get treatment early, but she absolutely refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just a treatment, how much could it cost?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve looked it up online—the illness is very painful, you’re not unaware of how much she fears pain…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Chuyin’s emotions spiraled out of control until she was no longer able to speak through her tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen quietly listened to the sounds of muffled sobs coming from the other end of the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the fact that Wei Chuyin often stirred up trouble when the two of them were together, it was undeniable that for Ai Qian, she truly was a sincere friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this era where interests reigned supreme, not even friends, and sometimes spouses, were like birds in a forest who scatter at the sign of trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How many could go all out, staying unwaveringly by one’s side, even when the other has given up on themselves?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The “scheming” that happened initially, when examined at its core, was ultimately about a difference in beliefs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it truly wrong to wish for a friend to find a partner with good material conditions?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had intended to wait until the emotions on the other end stabilized, but it seemed impossible to regain control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If even outsiders were collapsing like this, what about the person suffering from the illness?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Words of comfort were too difficult to articulate, so Jiang Chen simply said, “Take good care of yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll find her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he meant to hang up the phone when suddenly a voice choked with regret came through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m really sorry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I know, saying this now, doesn’t mean anything, but I truly am sorry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen held the phone in silence for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe you won’t believe me, but I’ve never blamed you, not once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having you as a friend is Ai Qian’s luck.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Chuyin on the other end wept, continuously repeating her apologies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you insist on apologizing, then I guess all I can say is, it’s okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Chuyin covered her mouth tightly but still couldn’t suppress the cries of regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after, she hung up the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen put down his smartphone, opened his contacts, and found Fu Zili’s number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, General Jiang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need a favor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go ahead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen was direct, and Fu Zili was equally straightforward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Help me find someone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man or a woman?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha City wasn’t large; with Fu Zili’s network within the city, it wasn’t impossible to find Ai Qian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that assumed she was still in Sha City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A woman, named Ai Qian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll send you her photo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Zili was a true man of the world and didn’t ask any extra questions, “Okay, send it to me for a look.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen intended to send the photo, but then realized that he seemed to have no pictures of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll send it to you shortly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s a strange thing to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re being too formal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exchanging pleasantries, Jiang Chen ended the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then obtained Ai Qian’s photo and basic information from the speechless Young Master Luo and forwarded them to Fu Zili.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shuru came out of the shower and suggested, “You should take a shower now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen nodded, entered the bathroom, turned on the showerhead, tilted his face upwards, and let the hot water spray down on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your phone is ringing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After she finished her shower, Li Shuru said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While drying his hair, Jiang Chen picked up the smartphone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a call from Fu Zili.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen called back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Chen, this girl you sent, Tie Jun said he seems to have seen her before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Zili was very efficient, or rather, he took Jiang Chen’s request very seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen hadn’t expected to get news so quickly, much less this kind of news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tie Jun?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yep, I just sent the photo to some friends I know, and Tie Jun said this girl seems to have eaten barbecue at his shop, and she was with Xiao Yu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen was caught off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because just recently, Tie Jun had quite an impression of this girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked just like the photo, this must be a graduation photograph, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Short hair, quite pretty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tie Jun even thought at first that she was Xiao Yu’s girlfriend.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll give Xiao Yu a call.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After ending the call with Fu Zili, Jiang Chen immediately called his cousin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re not asleep, are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You said last time you wanted to go back, are you still in Sha City?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m back at school.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Xiaoyu tentatively asked, “Bro, is there something wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you run into someone in Sha City?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did his cousin and Ai Qian end up together?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They should have never met before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Tie Jun was a very steady person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He definitely wouldn’t offer opinions about uncertain matters lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tie Jun indeed had met Ai Qian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro, no.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Xiaoyu quickly responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to admit, the kid was pretty trustworthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his flaw was that he wasn’t very good at lying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he replied very decisively, Jiang Chen still detected his lack of confidence from his tone, realizing he was lying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where did you run into her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen inquired without leaving a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The East Gate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Xiaoyu blurted out, then suddenly realized he had slipped up and felt quite embarrassed, “Bro…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that I meant to hide it from you, it’s just Ai Qian…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she didn’t want me to tell…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How do you know her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen couldn’t help asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I saw her from your Moments posts before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After letting it slip, Hong Xiaoyu dared not hide anymore and honestly answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he could no longer find any pictures of Ai Qian, traces of her existence had lingered in his life and couldn’t be erased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How long were you together?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Half a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was actually planning to help you tidy up the house that day, but then I bumped into her at the East Gate tunnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I took her to tour the city walls and…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Xiaoyu paused, seemingly hiding something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that there was no response on the other end, he braced himself and continued, “And we also offered flowers at our uncle’s grave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They went to his parents’ grave?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen’s expression became slightly more focused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro, I didn’t say we should go; Ai Qian suggested it herself, and I didn’t feel it was right to refuse…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Xiaoyu hurried to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing that the other end had gone quiet, Hong Xiaoyu became increasingly anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was sure his cousin wasn’t heartless, he couldn’t predict how Jiang Chen would feel about him taking such liberties without permission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was another point he found even more puzzling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t Ai Qian specifically ask him to keep it a secret?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did his cousin find him so quickly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro, how did you know?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Xiaoyu asked tentatively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen didn’t answer, nor did he seem to dwell on the fact that Hong Xiaoyu had taken such liberties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he asked, “Is she still in Sha City?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She shouldn’t be.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Xiaoyu quickly said, “When I dropped her off at the hotel, I told her to stay for a few more days, but she said she’d be leaving the next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s probably already left Sha City by now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did you guys talk about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There wasn’t much to talk about, but I felt like she was a little odd.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Xiaoyu expressed his truest feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did she say where she plans to go next?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, she didn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she told me that next time we meet, she’ll treat me to a meal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Xiaoyu spoke frankly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Xiaoyu was worried that his cousin might be upset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen chuckled, “You took her around for a day, must have been tiring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Make sure to remember to let her treat you to a big meal next time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Xiaoyu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hanging up.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1578,"2026-05-30T15:07:37.435Z","2026-06-01T04:31:32.694Z",1,"novelbin.me","019e8d653bca9776ed2412f93965b093cf1354e5fd9a398ec951f942abaf84d5","i-have-10-trillion-dollars-only-usable-for-simpi-chapter-954","i-have-10-trillion-dollars-only-usable-for-simpi-chapter-952",2400,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-have-10-trillion-dollars-only-usable-for-simpi-cover.jpg"]
