I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping-Chapter 2099 - 1351: 99,999,999

Although constrained by Boss Jiang’s status and not daring to rudely chase anyone out, there’s no hope for tea.

Don’t be fooled by the heart-wrenching scene the couple puts on in court; here at home, there’s no sign of sadness. The big, fat red dragon fish by the TV says it all.

"Oh, Mr. Tu loves fish, I see. This red dragon fish is of excellent quality, must be quite pricey."

Upon hearing this, seeing Jiang Chen’s gaze fixed on his fish tank, Tu Lei’s face flashes with embarrassment and a hint of tension, then he instinctively raises his voice.

"Who’s without a hobby? What’s wrong with me keeping fish?"

Red dragon.

Noble among fish.

Valuable.

Even an average one costs several thousand, a good one easily over ten thousand.

Of course.

For the wealthy, this is nothing, but for a regular family, especially one burdened by the medical expenses of a cancer patient, can they really afford such extravagant pets?

Remember, pets aren’t one-time purchases. Beyond the initial price, they require careful nurturing and continuous investment of effort and money.

"Of course there’s no problem, just making casual conversation."

While saying this, Boss Jiang’s gaze unwittingly lands on the large gold bracelet on the lady of the house’s wrist.

That shine.

Brilliant.

Looks like it hasn’t been bought for long, and must weigh at least fifty grams.

According to current gold prices.

Tsk.

Could buy a small electric car.

Even though they weren’t wearing it in court, this couple hardly seems short of money, let alone likely to abandon treatment for the elderly cancer-stricken mother.

Ma Qiujie was transferred to Jiangcheng Starfire Medical Center because her family decided to abandon treatment, and Xinghuo’s low fees made it worth trying.

Noticing Jiang Chen’s gaze, the lady quickly hides her wrist with her sleeve, shielding the large gold bracelet.

Unlike those brash folks who flaunt large gold chains around their necks.

How low-key.

"Knock knock knock..."

The knocking sounds again.

"Who is it!"

Tu Lei grumbles irritably.

Of course.

The person outside can’t hear this.

Only the persistent knocking responds.

"Must be our son’s express delivery."

The lady of the house, who’s been on edge, seizes the chance to stand up, walk to the lively bedroom door, and knock, "Your delivery is here."

No response.

Probably lost in gaming, didn’t hear.

The lady can only go open the door herself.

"Hello, Speed Express."

These days, express deliveries seldom bring items to the door. Usually, they’re left at stations, with rare exceptions.

This courier surely doesn’t expect the big boss to be inside.

As the lady signs and brings the delivery in, the young man finally bothers to leave his room, looking at the package his mother holds, visibly excited.

"Damn! Finally here!"

No wonder he was eager to open the door earlier, he was waiting for the delivery.

"Take it back to your room."

The mother, mindful of visitors at home, says this, but the young man couldn’t care less and eagerly tears open the package.

It’s a graphics card.

4090.

The most advanced graphics card available, with a correspondingly hefty price tag, beyond an average household’s reach.

From father to son, they live lives enviable to most, except the cancer-stricken elder, now ashes.

Having unwrapped the graphics card, the young man once again withdraws into his room, with a resounding "bang" as the door slams shut.

Even within mere ten minutes, it’s clear: another serious gaming addict.

Yet.

Grandmother’s passing is recent, truly no sadness?

"Our demands are clear: you must publicly apologize and compensate! Otherwise, we’ll take this case to the end!"

The man of the house, Tu Lei, returns to the original topic, speaking with force and drawing Jiang Chen and Wu Yufei’s attention back.

"Five million is excessive, and we did nothing wrong, why apologize? It was your negligence that drove the elderly to despair..." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Wu Yufei doesn’t back down, defending her stance.

"How can you call it our negligence? Before sending my mother to your Xinghuo Medical Center, she was perfectly fine. Without treatment, she’d still be alive now!"

The man of the house, Tu Lei, clearly avoids the main issue, "If you don’t agree, then let’s settle it in court!"

Ordinary folk generally can’t afford long legal battles with large institutions, but this family seems fearless, full of confidence.

"You..."

Wu Yufei’s face flushed, unsure if she regretted meddling in the first place.

"Mr. Tu, let’s discuss this calmly, no need to get upset."

Jiang Chen spoke in a calm tone, easing the tense atmosphere, "We’re all just trying to resolve this issue properly, right?"

Tu Lei shot him a cold glance. Boss Jiang’s politeness undoubtedly made him forget about the disparity in status, saying bluntly, "We’ve said all that needed to be said. If you disagree, you can leave without wasting each other’s time."

"An open apology is too much to ask for, Mr. Tu. You should understand that if our medical institution’s reputation is tarnished, closure isn’t far off."

Tu Lei, the head of the household, sneered, "What does that have to do with me?"

The wife returned to her husband’s side, "Exactly! You should be responsible for my mother-in-law’s life!"

Jiang Chen remained calm, "You’re right, your mother, Ma Qiujie, jumped to her death at our Xinghuo Medical Center. We cannot shirk our responsibility."

Wu Yufei frowned, unable to help but glance at Jiang Chen, yet she restrained herself from interrupting.

"What do you mean by that?"

Tu Lei questioned angrily.

"We truly can’t issue a public apology. However, we can offer financial compensation in hopes of gaining your forgiveness."

The couple exchanged uncertain glances until Jiang Chen pulled out a checkbook from his inner pocket, tore out a sheet, and placed it on the coffee table, pushing it toward them.

"You can fill in whatever amount you feel would satisfy you."

Their pupils dilated in shock.

A blank check as rumored?!

A scene you only see on TV happened to them?!

Staring at the pristine check, their eyes gradually heated up, heartbeats quickening.

"No..."

Wu Yufei couldn’t hold back and was about to speak, but was stopped by a silent glance from Jiang Chen.

"Are you pulling my leg?"

Tu Lei swallowed involuntarily, extremely agitated yet slightly incredulous, not having completely lost his rationality.

"You should be aware of the total investment in Jiangcheng Starfire Medical Center, right?"

"How could we possibly know that!"

Tu Lei hastily denied it.

Jiang Chen was unfazed, smiling, "It’s okay if you don’t know, because compared to that, this compensation is negligible."

Tu Lei wanted to say something more, but his wife couldn’t contain herself any longer, hastily bending over to grab the blank check as if it would fly away if she was a second too slow.

"Can we really fill in whatever amount?!"

Jiang Chen nodded with a smile, "Fill in whatever amount you like."

"Quick! Get a pen!"

She immediately urged, even ordering her husband, seemingly proving who the real head of the household was.

Who could resist such a ploy? In the end, Tu Lei obediently fetched a pen, but hesitated when it came to deciding the figure to fill in.

"Give it to me!"

It was the wife who showed decisiveness, not even consulting her husband, crouching on the coffee table to start writing in Arabic numerals.

Wu Yufei watched intently.

99,999,999 yuan

Tsk.

Not wasting a single cent.

Compared to their previous demand of five million, it was a twentyfold increase.

Tu Lei was startled, yet it didn’t affect his rapid breathing.

Only Boss Jiang remained unmoved.

Such earnest ordinary folk.

Even their dreams don’t dare to be too lofty.

Putting away the checkbook, Jiang Chen nodded, "We’ve reached a settlement, right?"

"This check can really be cashed, right?"

"After we leave, you can go to the bank to verify its authenticity."

The wife clutched the check, already in a daze.

Understanding their plight, Boss Jiang didn’t linger to be an obstruction, got up, "Sorry for disturbing you."

No one saw them out, as the couple was already dizzy with the prospect of vast wealth, unable to move.

The door opened and closed.

"Why did you do that?"

Wu Yufei finally got the chance to ask, utterly perplexed.

Jiang Chen glanced at her.

"We can file a lawsuit now."

File a lawsuit?

Wu Yufei was bewildered.

"One yuan short of a hundred million, enough for extortion charges."

Jiang Chen walked toward the elevator.
