I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping-Chapter 2103 - 1353: Pretty Good (2)

Jiang Chen was speechless, then nodded, "Your classmate is quite clear-headed."

"Dating doesn’t necessarily have to cost money; it just shows that your classmate knows what they want."

Fang Qing commented, holding the most expensive avocado drink in the store with one hand.

Hong Xiaoyu immediately shut his mouth.

But Jiang Chen seemed to have a different opinion and glanced at Qing Mei, "Qing Gege, you shouldn’t generalize for all women; the cost of dating is indeed quite high most of the time."

Hong Xiaoyu slurped his fruit tea, sensibly keeping silent.

Fang Qing didn’t argue with anyone, perhaps realizing her statement was indeed somewhat biased, she said to Hong Xiaoyu, "Just tell the police what you know, leave the rest to them."

Jiang Chen nodded, at this moment standing in agreement with Qing Mei, "Yes, your current grade is crucial, don’t let it affect your studies."

"Sister Fang Qing, Bro, I know."

Speaking, Hong Xiaoyu suddenly remembered something, "Bro, did you run into Ren Miao at school just now?"

Ren Miao?

Jiang Chen took a moment to react, "You’re talking about the girl you liked before?"

Hong Xiaoyu wasn’t shy, he nodded naturally and openly.

Fang Qing silently drank her avocado milkshake.

That guy wasn’t just talking nonsense.

Sure enough, there’s a lot of water.

"How did you know?"

Jiang Chen asked.

"She messaged me." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Jiang Chen heard this with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, "You two are still in touch?"

"Yeah."

Hong Xiaoyu laughed, "We’re friends, after all."

"Aren’t you afraid someone might get upset?"

Jiang Chen teased.

"Why should I be afraid? Ren Miao and I are just ordinary friends, Bro, didn’t your previous girlfriend also..."

Still young, inexperienced, not mature,

Can you say whatever you want?

But Hong Xiaoyu finally realized, quickly stopped himself, and swallowed the rest of the words, yet it was clearly making up for a lost cause.

What needed to be heard had already been heard.

"Which girlfriend of his did he talk about?"

Fang Qing asked softly, curiosity piqued.

Hong Xiaoyu was nervous, looked apologetically at his cousin, and silently drank his fruit tea.

Boss Jiang dared to face it head-on, calmly and unconcernedly said, "It’s my first girlfriend in college."

Fang Qing definitely knew who the second girlfriend was; now she was almost like a sister.

Of course.

She also knew about the so-called first one.

"Good men as principled and loyal as your brother are rare nowadays."

Hong Xiaoyu could only laugh awkwardly.

That girl had been to Sha City; he took her on a one-day tour, and the impression was deep, so he couldn’t help but mention it just now.

"Sister Fang Qing, why did you come to River City with my brother?"

Jiang Chen was amused and bewildered.

This kid, really needs practice in the ways of the world. He knew it was to help him by changing the topic, but it was done so awkwardly.

"Can’t I appear together with Sister Fang Qing?"

"I didn’t mean that..."

"Your Sister Fang Qing is here to help me with a lawsuit."

"Ah?"

Hong Xiaoyu was startled, then immediately concerned, "Bro, are you being sued?"

"Business-related stuff."

Jiang Chen sipped his fruit tea, downplaying it.

"Is it serious?"

Family is family, after all.

Jiang Chen shook his head, "Don’t you see Sister Fang Qing is sitting here? What could happen."

Hong Xiaoyu couldn’t help but laugh, then nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Sister Fang Qing will definitely protect Bro."

It’s been like this since childhood.

He didn’t say the last sentence.

But even without completing the sentence, it was enough to make someone embarrassed; he attempted to save face, "What are you saying? I used to protect her, you didn’t see how much trouble she gave me."

Finally having the chance to complain.

Fang Qing sat next to him, allowing him to express his longtime suppressed grievances without rebuttal.

Boss Jiang spoke from the heart, but in this world, there’s no true empathy. Hong Xiaoyu nodded perfunctorily, comforting, "Bro, I understand."

But how could he fool Jiang Chen? Realizing it was a waste of breath, Jiang Chen stopped, cursing jokingly.

"You understand jack."

Hong Xiaoyu gave a simple smile and looked at Fang Qing, "I don’t understand, but I’m sure Sister Fang Qing does."

Jiang Chen sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Reckon that he might never find someone to clear his name in this life.

"Yu, come back quickly, Ah Feng’s parents are here."

A roommate called.

Ah Feng.

The roommate who went missing.

How could parents stay in their hometown when their son is missing?

"Okay, I’ll be back right away!"

After hanging up, Hong Xiaoyu said awkwardly, "Sister Fang Qing, Brother, I have to go back to school, my roommate’s parents have come from out of town."

"Hmm, go ahead."

Fang Qing was understanding.

"Bro, you and Sister Fang Qing aren’t leaving River City anytime soon, right?"

"Go handle your business. Get in touch with us after you’re done."

Jiang Chen laughed,

Hong Xiaoyu nodded, "Then... I’m off."

"Take your milk tea with you."

Hong Xiaoyu left quickly, leaving Jiang Chen and Fang Qing sitting alone.

A rare moment of leisure.

"That kid seems busier than we are."

Jiang Chen muttered.

"He’s inherited your good qualities, loyal and righteous."

Jiang Chen looked displeased.

Fang Qing remained composed, "Don’t overthink, it’s purely a compliment."

Jiang Chen drank his fruit tea, deciding not to bicker, and after finishing, sighed contentedly, then shook his milk tea cup, the ice clinking up to a third of the cup.

"Back then, a milk tea was two yuan, now it’s over twenty, a tenfold increase."

Fang Qing didn’t join him in lamenting, "Tie Jun is getting married this year."

Jiang Chen was taken aback.

"He hasn’t told you yet, has he?"

Jiang Chen shook his head, "No, is it settled?"

"The families are discussing it, it should be in the second half of the year."

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "It’s about time he got married, dragging it further, such a good wife might just run off with someone else."

Even though they’re at the age to settle down and start their careers, seeing an old buddy about to step into marriage still feels... complex, hard to describe.

"When he first joined the army, I thought he’d be there for at least ten years, didn’t expect he’d be the first among us to get married."

Jiang Chen took a sip of fruit tea, like drinking wine, with nostalgia in his eyes.

Life is like a journey with a set start and end, there are many stops along the way, but a few are ones most people will pass through.

Some people stop early, some later.

And Tie Jun belongs to those neither early nor late, arriving at a destined stop at the right time, ready for the next leg of the journey.

"How about you?"

"Me what?"

Jiang Chen remained calm.

"When are you planning to get married?"

Jiang Chen glanced at her.

He had thought she wouldn’t ask.

"Is this the kind of thing I can decide on my own?"

He tried to sound relaxed.

"Have you ever thought about it?"

"How about you? Have you thought about this question?"

A cornered Jiang Chen tossed the question back.

"32."

Jiang Chen furrowed his brow, surprised to get such a precise answer.

"Why 32?"

He asked softly.

"Graduating at 22, then ten years to work hard, creating the necessary material foundation, at least owning a house in the city I work in. As for a car, depends. Without worrying about money, get married, have kids, raise them, when they grow up, I’ll be about 55, then I’ll retire. By then, my health should still be good, and I can enjoy traveling the world without worries."

Jiang Chen was silent, and after a while, he said, "You always plan everything so meticulously."

Fang Qing gave a small laugh.

"What do you think of my plan?"

What do I think?

In this busy world, for two ordinary people, everything she planned...

is something to look forward to.

Jiang Chen nodded.

"It’s great."
